"We're not here to talk, we're here to work!"
Gu Sheng scolded coldly.
Zhang Dadan and Old Li Tou heard Gu Sheng's words and then reluctantly backed away. After all, this was hundreds of meters underground.
If you really mess around here, you will really live a long life!
"Boss! There are so many crystals here!"
Suddenly, a miner shouted.
Gu Sheng Hearing this, he quickly rushed over with everyone.
I saw that the crystal stones here can be described by the word "huge amount".
Because these crystals are so large, just a small candle can illuminate the entire space.
"Great!"
Gu Sheng nodded excitedly and ordered Old Li Tou: "Old Li, you lead the people to start mining. If you encounter abnormal ore crystals, report to me immediately. Remember, this Mine Tunnel No. 13 is rather evil, don't make your own decisions!"
"Understood!"
Old Li Tou responded and directly called his miners to start mining.
Zhang Dadan has an upright nature, and when he saw that Gu Sheng had arranged for Old Li Tou to be the leader, he felt a little unhappy.
So he stood there and didn't make any move.
"Be brave, you go too, I'm worried they might dig something, so you go too!"
Gu Sheng ordered.
"I get angry when I see that old guy!"
Zhang Dadan said with disdain.
"Haha, Lao Li?"
Gu Sheng laughed.
Zhang Dadan nodded.
"He is older. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Besides, we are here to make a living, so why should we care about this?"
Saying this, Gu Sheng moved towards Zhang Dadan and whispered, "When the remuneration is settled, I will talk to the elders and see if I can give you two more credits. How about it?"
"Really?"
Zhang Dadan looked excited.
"I won't lie to you! But only if you give me the courage to stabilize the situation!"
Gu Sheng looked solemn.
"Brother Sheng, don't worry, I am bold and there is nothing else but courage!"
Zhang Dadan patted his chest, and then went to mine crystal stones with Old Li Tou.
After everyone left, only Gu Sheng stayed in the cave.
Gu Sheng squatted down and took a look, only to see this chi pattern carved on the table that was overturned on the ground.
Gu Sheng felt something in his heart, feeling that this chi pattern was not an ordinary thing.
The mysterious power it contains may be able to unlock the secrets of this cave.
Then, Gu Sheng carefully picked up the pen on the table and began to study the pattern of the chi pattern carefully.
Soon, Gu Sheng discovered that the chi pattern was not a simple decoration, but an ancient writing.
Just because of the age, the words engraved on it are also weathered and difficult to read clearly.
Even if I can see clearly, I still feel like there is an invisible barrier blocking my thoughts.
Gu Sheng gently brushed the chi pattern on the table with his fingers.
Every line seems to contain a different kind of power.
At this moment, the power of words seems to be embodied...
Then, Gu Sheng closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to resonate with these ancient words.
Gradually, Gu Sheng's consciousness gradually merged with the power contained in the Chi pattern.
A vague map gradually became clear in his mind.
Entrance, spar ground, Refined Ore Source...
This map seems to depict the underground structure of the entire mining area, and some special marking points seem to indicate the location of Refined Ore Source.
"Not bad! It's the location of Refined Ore Source!"
Gu Sheng was overjoyed and realized that he was going to have bad luck!
"Great!"
Gu Sheng opened his eyes, kept the map in his mind, and quickly walked out of the cave.
He came to the busy miners, who were sweating profusely mining crystal stones.
"Brothers, how's it going?"
Gu Sheng greets the miners.
"Little Sheng, there are so many crystal stones here. If Elder Li Yuan knows about it, he will be very happy."
Old Li Tou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly.
"Little Sheng Look!"
One miner shouted excitedly, "The spar here is better than what we mined before!"
Gu Sheng stepped forward and took a look. The high-quality crystals that were originally discovered sporadically are now being unearthed like a fountain.
Car after cart of crystals were transported out of the mine. The sheer quantity and high quality shocked everyone.
In this way, a huge harvest was achieved on the first day of work.
After a day's work, everyone returned to the ground.
After an inventory, the output of Mine Tunnel No. 13 far exceeds that of other mines, making it the most efficient mine in the entire mining area.
The news soon reached Elder Li Yuan's ears.
He personally came to the mine and inspected the results of the day's mining.
A satisfied smile appeared on Elder Li Yuan's face, and he highly praised Gu Sheng's intelligence and leadership abilities.
"Little Sheng, you performed very well today and brought huge wealth to our mining area. I thank you on behalf of the entire mining area."
Elder Li Yuan patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said.
"Haha..."
Gu Sheng smiled modestly, "Thank you, elder. All this is the hard work of the miners. I just provided some guidance."
Elder Li Yuan nodded, turned to the miners, and said loudly, "I hope you will continue your efforts. By then, Shaking Light Holy Land will not treat each of you badly!"
When the miners who followed Gu Sheng heard this, their fatigue suddenly disappeared, and they wished they could go to work now.
After everyone dispersed, Gu Sheng was also ready to go back to rest.
But before Gu Sheng could enter the residence, he was stopped by Yao Qing.
"Gu Sheng!"
Yao Qing's voice was a little cold.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Sheng saw Yao Qing's cold and bold look and asked with a smile.
Then, Yao Qing directly pulled Gu Sheng aside with force.
At this time, Gu Sheng's divine power was blocked, and being held by a cultivator like Yao Qing, he really couldn't break free.
Moreover, it was painful from being pulled.
"Hey, hey, hey! Little beauty, you're hurting me."
Gu Sheng said somewhat speechlessly.
Yao Qing, on the other hand, acted as if he didn't hear it and still pulled it with all his strength. He didn't let go until he reached a place where no one was around.
Gu Sheng rubbed his sore arm and frowned.
He looked at Yao Qing with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"What are you doing? I'm not a prisoner."
Gu Sheng's voice contained a hint of ridicule.
Yao Qing did not answer, but asked directly, "Gu Sheng, why did you choose Mine Tunnel No. 13?"
Yao Qing's eyes were sharp, as if they wanted to penetrate Gu Sheng's soul.
Gu Sheng avoided her gaze and said vaguely, "No... it's nothing, I just want to show off."
"That's it?"
There was obvious doubt in Yao Qing's voice.
"Yes."
Gu Sheng nodded.
"Cut!"
Yao Qing rolled his eyes at Gu Sheng and asked again, "Do you really have no other purpose?"
"Alas..."
Gu Sheng sighed, knowing that he could not hide this from this shrewd woman.
"Okay, I admit, I just want to perform well and get more opportunities."
Yao Qing curled his lips, sighed, and shook his head.
"Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng, don't think I'm so easy to deceive."
Yao Qing's voice was filled with disdain, and then he said, "Do you want to get the Refined Ore Source inside?"
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng looked at Yao Qing in surprise, not expecting that she could guess what he was thinking.
"How do you know?"
"Haha..."
Yao Qing smiled proudly, but soon returned to a serious expression.
"That's my guess, but Gu Sheng, I'm warning you, Mine Tunnel No. 13 is very dangerous."
When the word "danger" was mentioned, Yao Qing's expression became serious.
Gu Sheng frowned, knowing that Yao Qing would not warn him for no reason.
"What do you know?"
Gu Sheng asked seriously.
Yao Qing was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Mine Tunnel No. 13 There is a powerful force surging deep in the depths. I once heard the older generation of cultivators say that there is an ancient existence sealed there. If the seal is accidentally touched, it may cause disaster, so..."
"So you want me to give up Mine Tunnel No. 13?"
Gu Sheng said first.
"Not bad."
Yao Qing nodded.
Gu Sheng stood there, and the scene when he Sea of Bitterness was not blocked suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was carefree at that time, how could he be like this now?
"Don't worry, Yao Qing, I will be careful."
Gu Sheng nodded seriously and was unwilling to give up.
"You..."
Yao Qing is a little speechless.
"Yao Qing, if you want to help me, why not tell me what's inside so that I can be more prepared."
Gu Sheng turned his head and asked.
"Huh..."
Yao Qing took a deep breath, worry revealed in his eyes.
She knew what this secret meant to Gu Sheng, but she decided to tell the truth.
"Gu Sheng, listen to me. There are indeed ancient creatures in Mine Tunnel No. 13. No one knows what they look like. They only know that they are very terrifying."
Yao Qing's voice was deep and seemed to have a sense of fear.
Gu Sheng's body stiffened instantly, and he looked at Yao Qing in disbelief, as if he had heard a fantasy.
"Ancient creatures? What does that mean?"
Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Ancient creatures refer to those beings that existed in the early stages of biological formation. They possess unknown powers. As for their specific appearance, no one knows because they have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, or even longer."
Yao Qing explained.
"Then why do you Shaking Light Holy Land choose to collect crystals in this place?"
Gu Sheng asked casually.
"Because only the crystals around here are of high quality, and the closer to the ancient creatures, the higher the quality of the crystals will be!"
Yao Qing pointed at the nearby location.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was suddenly startled.
These words were exactly the same as what Chi Wen perceived in Mine Tunnel No. 13.
The closer the danger is, the higher the quality of the crystal.
"Okay, I understand, Yao Qing, thank you for telling me this, but I will continue to be at Mine Tunnel No. 13."
After saying that, Gu Sheng left without looking back.
"You..."
Yao Qing looked at the back of Gu Sheng leaving, feeling very helpless.
Wait until the next day, Gu Sheng continues to lead those miners to mine Mine Tunnel No. 13.
Since Elder Li Yuan personally praised Mine Tunnel No. 13's performance and received generous remuneration, Gu Sheng's team has doubled this time to thirty people.
As long as you are obedient, Gu Sheng will accept whatever comes your way.
In this way, half a month passed.
Mine Tunnel No. 13 There are more and more crystals coming out, and the quality is getting better and better.
Gu Sheng has nearly two hundred miners.
However, Gu Sheng felt increasingly nervous and excited.
Because quality improvement and risk are positively correlated.
The most important thing is that Refined Ore Source can help you restore your divine power!
Through calculation, Gu Sheng feels that Refined Ore Source can be mined today.
After getting ready, Gu Sheng greeted, "Everyone, start working! Go down to the mine!"
Following Gu Sheng's order, more than two hundred people descended on Mine Tunnel No. 13.
Compared with before, Mine Tunnel No. 13 at this time has expanded several times, and it is so spacious that it can almost accommodate a hill.
Soon, these miners began to mine crystal stones as usual.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
The picks and shovels in the hands of the miners struck the spar with a crisp sound.
"Ah!!!"
But with an exclamation, everyone's eyes were drawn to the depths of the mine.
"Look! What is that?"
A miner pointed to a spar in the corner, his voice turning into a chicken voice.
The crystal was about the size of a human head, with a smooth surface. It was not as hard as ordinary crystals, but had a soft texture.
What's even more peculiar is that the surface of the crystal sparkles with bright red light, as if blood is flowing inside.
"Let me strangle you! This... is this alive?"
"It doesn't look like it? It looks like a stone."
"No, no, no, this is definitely not an ordinary crystal!"
Other miners gathered around, confusion written on their faces.
Zhang Dadan also gathered around.
He was a well-known bold person in the mine, but he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
I saw him put down the pickaxe in his hand and cautiously walked towards the blood-red crystal stone.
"This... isn't this the legendary blood crystal?"
Zhang Dadan's voice trembled.
He reached out his hand and gently picked up the crystal.
The blood crystal trembled slightly in Zhang Dadan's hand, and the red light became even more dazzling.
The surrounding miners retreated one after another, not daring to get close, for fear that this mysterious crystal would bring about something unexpected.
"Blood crystal, a legendary crystal with powerful power, can help cultivators break through bottlenecks and restore their divine power!"
Old Li Tou whispered.
Zhang Dadan hugged the blood crystal tightly, but felt uneasy in his heart.
He knew that this spar was worth far more than any spar they could mine.
"This... this is the luck of our mine!"
one of the miners shouted excitedly.
He seems to have seen the day when he will become rich and powerful.
Gu Sheng stood aside and observed all this with sharp eyes.
He knew that the appearance of the blood crystal meant that his divine power would be restored!
"Don't panic, everyone, protect this blood crystal first."
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, trying to be as calm as possible.
"Yes! Listen to the foreman!"
The miners nodded one after another, knowing that Gu Sheng's decision was always correct.
So, under the command of Gu Sheng, several miners carefully moved the blood crystal to a safe place in the mine.
