C18 Not yet exploited

Alec's family was calm. They still hadn't excavated the ore yet, so no one knew if it was a priceless mine or a useless one. It was definitely a good thing to have such a lucrative mineral deposit, and it would allow the Alec family to grow even more powerful.

However, if it was a body mine, there was no need to be too heartbroken. Even without this mine, with the prestige Alric had brought to the family, the family was steadily rising. It wouldn't be long before they would become the head of Qingfeng Town.

The four great families held all sorts of thoughts and waited for news about the mines.

Finally, on the morning of the twenty-first day, the four great families received the news that the mines were basically ready and would be ready for mining in a day or two. The four great families were in a hurry. With their clan leader leading everyone, they personally left.

Alec and Elöise, as the two parties involved, naturally followed them as well. Their existence would prove that the Alec and Vedara families were the owners of the mine.

The Mu Clan followed them. They were invited by the Aleck Clan. Since the two families were allies, and the Mu Clan had provided a lot of help to the Vidara Clan during this period, the Aleck Clan invited them to join them.

The Li family did not want to miss this opportunity. They wanted to see for themselves what kind of mine this mine was.

They walked in a grandiose manner for more than two hours before they finally reached the hill covered with Heartless Grass.

At this time, the hill was still densely covered with Heartless Grass, but in the middle of the hill, there was a small opening.

Long before the Four Great Families had arrived, they had already ordered their men to set up camp. Thus, after arriving here, everyone went to their respective tents.

The four clan leaders and the various elders were seated in a huge tent. With a single command, the workers began to mine the ore.

Alec was also sitting in the hall. Ever since he killed Hu Yingliang, his status in the Ling Residence had been elevated to that of several elders. Even if it was useless, he was not the only one sitting there.

Alec was rather bored – he would rather go back and continue his training if he had the time.

Actually, the most important thing was that there was neither Fu Ru Yin nor Mu Chun Er here.

Alec had not seen Fu Ruyin during this period of time. Every time he went to find her, she would be busy with her training and would not have the time to deal with Alec.

As for Mu Chuang'er, ever since they parted ways last time, she had entered the Kunrin Mountains to train and raise her cultivation. Even now, she was still nowhere to be seen.

He yawned, and unlike the others in his seat, Alec lounged back in his chair, looking as if he might fall asleep at any moment.

The people of the Vidara family glanced at the scene unwillingly — it was such a formal and important occasion, yet the Alec family had brought along a fool. It would have been fine if he had been a normal fool, but now he was acting so lazy and soft. This was simply not proper!

Vidala gave Alec a look of disgust. Somehow, Alec didn't feel good about it.

Alec remained unmoved, still doing his own thing. Vader gritted his teeth, wishing that he could find a suitable opportunity to kill this fool.

Shrew, sensing Vidala's displeasure, frowned disapprovingly. He gave Vidala a calm look, as if reminding him that this was my son, that he was free to do what he wanted, and that no one else, including you, had the right to care.

The protection of Shrewd was well-known. When Alec was a useless fool, Shrew had always been secretly protecting his son. Now that his son was already the number one youngster in the family and had killed Hu Yingliang at the eighth floor with the power of the second level of the Acupoint Charging Stage. This allowed Shi Roland to protect his son even more openly.

What are you pulling at? Don't say I hate your stupid son now, he thought. Even if I kill him in the future and take you in, it's still possible!

Shrewd was no more than thirty years old this year, when women were at their most mature and tasty. Due to his good maintenance, coupled with his natural beauty, he was a beauty with skin that looked like a young girl in her twenties. If she hadn't been the famous leader of the Alec family, Vidala would have drooled long ago.

Just as Vader was thinking, he felt a gaze on him.

When he turned around, he saw that it was the Alec fool who had made him hate her so much. Vidal glared at him unhappily, then lowered his head to drink his tea.

Alec sneered in his heart. If you dare to have any ideas about my mother, one day, I will make sure you die without a burial ground.

Last time in this place, Elöise had tried to get rid of him by killing him. It was clear that the Vidara family considered themselves a thorn in the side of their eye. One day, the two families will fight each other to the death.

Alec never showed mercy to his enemies.

Following Shi Roland's order, the mining project officially began. Hundreds of workers carried all kinds of tools and went into the belly of the mountain to mine. It won't be long before we find out what kind of mine it is.

Of course, she also hoped that this was a valuable vein, because it would bring great benefits to the Alec family.

It goes without saying that no one wanted this to be a valuable mineral deposit more than he did.

The others were also waiting anxiously — this would be a big event for Qingfeng Town. Wherever you have a vein, your status will skyrocket.

For a time, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

The food had already been served, but how could they be in the mood to eat? Although they tried their best to maintain a stable state on the surface, they were all exceptionally impatient.

Alec was the only one who started to eat and drink as if no one else was around.

After having his fill and having nothing better to do, he sat down on the chair and began cultivating. He couldn't decide whether this vein was an earth mine or something else. Since that was the case, rather than being nervous and worried about personal gains and losses, it was better to be a bit more at ease and eat, drink and cultivate.

Alec sat in meditation, and a steady flow of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth began to flow into his body.

As for the surrounding people, they looked at Alec as if he was a monster – he actually had the heart to train … It was good to be a fool. He did not know how great the benefits a mining lode could bring him. Therefore, he was still able to focus on his cultivation …

About four hours later, Alec heard urgent footsteps coming from outside. He knew the workers must have dug up some ores.

He slowly opened his eyes. Just as he expected, after the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a worker rushed in and knelt on the ground.

"How is it? What kind of mine is it? " Eloz, Shrew, and the others asked in a hurry. His body leaned slightly forward from the back of the chair, showing the eagerness in their hearts. Their breathing had become rapid due to their nervousness.

Seeing the patriarchs of the four families looking at him with such eagerness, the worker looked troubled. Then he crawled on the ground and said honestly, "Reporting to the patriarch, it is... "It's an earth mine."

"What!?" Say that again! " Vidala was the first to shout, jumping like thunder. At this moment, due to the nervousness in his heart, he couldn't conceal anything.

Li Zhenting, as an ally, was secretly delighted in his heart.

"Patriarch Zhang, what I have now dug up is …" "It's an earth mine." The worker gathered up his courage and said.

Vidala's heart skipped a beat … How could a body of earth be a body of earth? As long as it wasn't a body mineral, any other type of mineral could make the Vidara family rich.

It's fine, it's fine. There are many important mines. At the beginning, the mine that was dug out was also the Body Earth Mine, but as they dug deeper, what came out was valuable minerals, so this mine might not really be the Body Earth Mine. After a moment of intense loss, Vidala thought of another possibility and did not give up.

After a short period of loss, the Aleck family had also thought of this possibility. "Order the workers to continue digging until tomorrow morning," he ordered.

"Yes, Patriarch!" The worker accepted the order and quickly ran out.

It was now noon. If there was an earth mine above this vein and other precious mines below it, from now until the next morning, the results should be clear.

If tomorrow morning, the ore deposit would still be earth, then it would completely show that this mine was a waste mine, which would make everyone happy and nervous for such a long time.

Everyone understood what he meant, and they all agreed with his point of view.

After sitting in the meeting tent for a while, everyone noticed that it would be hard to get news of this mine in a short period of time, so they all returned to their own tents to rest.

Alec also returned to his tent, and just like before, he continued to meditate and cultivate. Next, he would attempt to break through the second acupoint — the Jade Pillar.

Alric spent every second of his time cultivating, not wasting any time at all. For some reason, when he saw Vidala, Eloz, and the others looking at him strangely, he had the feeling that these two old foxes had no good intentions and were already treating him as a thorn in their side.

Alec remembered the look in his eyes the last time he'd killed Hu Yingliang with all his might, and then when he saw Eloz, there had been a murderous look in his eyes. If it wasn't for his mother's timely arrival, he was afraid that he would have died in the hands of that old fox, Eloise, instead of dying in Hu Yingliang's hands.

All these facts told Alec that he must increase his strength quickly and not be a fish on the blade anymore.

As strands of natural Yuan Qi flowed into his body, Alric once again sank into cultivation.

As for the others, none of them were as relaxed as he was. They all sat in the tent, craning their necks as they waited for news.

But from noon until the evening, what was dug out from the mine was still earth.

Elozi and the others frowned, while Shrew had a bad premonition. However, until the end, he could not say anything.

After the spiritual qi in his body had circulated for three full cycles, Alec opened his eyes and slowly let out a mouthful of impure air. It was already midnight.

Stretching lazily, Alec rose from the bed. Feeling refreshed, he decided to go outside and get some fresh air.

Lights were on all around, and every tent was lit. Alec knew that everyone was waiting for news of the mine.

Walking around the fallow hills, Alec saw that the mine was also brightly lit.

Since he had nothing else to do, Alec decided to go in and see the mines of the Mystical Continent.

In fact, when it came to mines, Alec thought of coal mines, of dark mines, of the accidents that often happened.
