Moreover, he had a suspicion. Since he had encountered an Energy Stone Deposit on the third planet, perhaps such deposits were not rare in this world. If so, why should he waste effort on such a lousy deposit?
So he left and went to the next planet in search of opportunities.
Unfortunately, over the next ten-odd days, he surveyed nearly twenty planets. He did find three more deposits, but their reserves and quality were far inferior even to the first one.
However, Feng Jun was not frustrated by this, because the latter three deposits proved that his guess had been correct: this world did not lack mineral deposits.
While he continued surveying, Yi Jue and the others, who were fighting a major battle against the Insect Race ahead, received some news. Many Human Race warships were repeatedly broadcasting all kinds of radio signals, doing so in a highly indiscriminate manner.
Then True Lord Ren Tu secretly intercepted communications within the warships, only to discover in astonishment that the cultivators from Heavenly Zither seemed to have been exposed.
