Northern Desert Barren Domain.
The mining site bustled with activity.
One wave of cultivators had left, and another wave from the Divine Dao Sect had arrived. Though the owner seemed to have changed, nothing had truly changed. Yi Feng's might remained vivid in everyone's memory; he could return at any moment. The Black Dragon Divine Guard dared to rage but not speak, and could only mine with all their strength.
Truly, mine owners came and went, but miners stood firm as iron!
Seeing the Black Dragon Divine Guard work so hard, the Divine Dao Sect disciples were deeply gratified. While guarding the mine closely, they discussed matters excitedly.
"The Black Dragon Divine Guard truly lives up to their name. Such mining progress is unprecedented!"
"Indeed! The recent output of meteorite iron has soared. It is immensely valuable!"
"We owe this mine to Senior Yi's support. That senior helped us out of righteous conviction—he must be an outsider cultivator as well!"
"We of the Divine Dao Sect will never dare forget Senior's kindness!"
Hearing the discussions, the leading elder was also filled with emotion.
Yet when he saw that the mine had still produced no Starfall Crystal Sand, his expression gradually turned grave.
"We shall naturally remember Senior's kindness!"
"However... for several days now, the mineral output has been excellent, yet not a trace of Starfall Crystal Sand has appeared. This is truly strange. Logically speaking, the quality of this mine is extremely high; Starfall Crystal Sand should exist here."
His low mutter startled everyone into turning back. The old man beside him also revealed a worried look.
"Alas..."
"Starfall Crystal Sand is incomparably precious. Who could guarantee that a mine would certainly yield it? May Heaven bless us and let us obtain even one grain of Starfall Crystal Sand.
