C19 The mines of this world

I wonder what the mines in this world are like?

Alec walked into the cave. It was dark and small, square and wide. The surroundings of the mine were hung with night pearls the size of goose eggs, shining brightly into the cave.

Back then on Earth, such a Night Pearl was already priceless. However, in the current world, they were not worth much. They were merely tools used to illuminate the world.

Ahead of the mine was a winding road that had just been excavated and led down to the ground. It was covered with iron rails. One by one, the mining carriages, each one one meter square, began to climb up the tracks.

With no one around, how could he walk? Alec watched the mineshaft with interest.

Upon closer inspection, he saw paper dragonflies about seven to eight centimeters long and two to three centimeters wide floating above the mineshaft.

Alec had seen it in the bazaar. It was called the Paper Dragonfly, and it was an artifact that boosted the power of spiritual power, magic, and magic. It was often used to transport things over short distances.

Before using the paper dragonfly, one had to place its two wings in two different places, and the distance between the two places couldn't be more than a kilometer apart. Between the two wings, paper dragonflies could carry things countless times.

However, if it exceeded a thousand meters, the paper dragonfly would become a pile of scrap paper and would no longer be of any use.

Because of its characteristics, coupled with the good quality and low cost, it is widely used in mining industry.

"High and mighty …" The sounds of workers digging could be heard from below.

A cart full of ore carts was carted to the entrance and received by the workers nearby. By now, a small mountain of ore had already piled up beside the hill.

Unfortunately, all the mines were useless.

Filled with curiosity, Alec walked to the mouth of the tunnel to see what it looked like down below. It was still different from the dark and damp narrow tunnel he had imagined. The tunnel was still wide and bright, filled with luminous pearls.

The miners in this world are very happy. Alec sighed in his heart.

Just as Alec was looking around with interest, a dozen people came through the door, led by Shilan and Vidala.

"Fei'er, why are you here?" he asked, surprised to see Alec here.

"Mom, Fei'er wants to see if there's anything fun here." Alec smirked.

Vidala turned her head away in disgust, not looking at Alec — what's so funny about a mine, a fool is a fool, a rotten wood is nothing.

Ever since the last field trial, when Alec was glorious enough to let the Vidara Family suffer a crushing defeat, in Hundred Herb Hall, when a Tier 4 alchemist praised him publicly and he had recently killed Hu Yingliang, who had committed all sorts of evil deeds, Vidala had disliked Alec and had treated him as a thorn in his side.

No wonder Vidala was so famous. If it weren't for these things, Alec wouldn't have made a name for himself. If it weren't for Alec's fame, how could the people of Qingfeng Town realize that this guy was extraordinary and that his future achievements would be limitless?

If not, how could almost all the forces in the town be attached to the Alec family, leaving the Vidara family in such an awkward predicament?!

So when he saw Alec Vidala, he felt angry for no reason.

"Fei'Er, I just so happen to want to go down and see how the fortifications are progressing. Since you're here, accompany me down." Shi Roland said in an amiable manner.

Alec realized that his mother, Vader, and the others had come in the middle of the night because they were anxious to see what was going on in the well.

"Yes, Mother." Alec agreed readily.

At first Alec didn't want to go down, because even if he did, he wouldn't be able to see why. But since Shrew had said so, Alec went down with him.

Everyone sat on the dragonfly cable car and slowly descended. At first, Alec didn't feel anything was amiss. However, when he was about two to three hundred meters away from the cauldron, the Mother Cauldron in his dantian's spiritual sea suddenly jumped.

Eh? Alec was slightly surprised. What is this?

What surprised him even more was that as the cable car moved deeper into the earth, the shaking of the Mother Cauldron became more intense.

"Master, Huan Huan is hungry. He wants to eat the Profound Ice Stone." Just then, Huan Huan ran out and stood on Alec's shoulder with his white tail wagging.

"Profound Ice Stone? Where in my spatial ring would I find this ore? " Alec asked curiously. At this moment, the movements of the Eternal Universe Mother Cauldron became more and more intense.

The Profound Ice Stone was a type of ore that could assist cultivators in their cultivation. Its market price was about the size of an egg, which could be sold for up to ten thousand taels of silver.

Alec had heard of this ore before, but there were only a few Class 5 and Class 6 herbs in his spatial ring, as well as a few Class 6 Magical Beast Cores. There was no such thing.

"Sigh!" The cable car that Alec and Shrewd were riding finally landed on the ground. After another round of intense trembling, the cauldron finally stopped.

"Fantasy, why was the cauldron constantly shaking earlier?" Alec asked doubtfully.

"Master, that's because the illusion smelled the Ice Stone." Huan Huan licked her lips with her pink tongue, appearing to be extremely greedy.

Where was the Profound Ice Stone? Alec thought to himself, I don't have anything like this in my bag.

"Master, you don't have any Profound Ice Rocks on you?" Fantasy asked, sniffing around.

"What a strong energy wave. Master, there are a lot of Profound Ice Rocks here." Huan Shi said after sniffing for a moment.

A lot of Profound Ice Stones? Alec was very surprised, but he didn't show it. He looked around and found only eight people. How could there be so many of them?

For elixirs, spiritual herbs, crystal cores and other things rich in energy essence, the feeling of illusion was exactly the same. The Profound Ice Stone contained the essence energy. A portion of it could be directly used by cultivators to assist in raising one's cultivation.

Hence, Alec had no doubts about the theory of fantasy.

It was just like how a greedy person was easily able to smell the aroma. These energy rich things were precisely the food of fantasy and fantasy.

Could it be? Alec suddenly looked at the ground and thought of a possibility. Could it be that this was a Mysterious Ice Stone lode?

Alec was overjoyed. If that was the case, Alec's family was going to be rich!

Looking at the expectant look on his mother's face, Alec was overjoyed. He couldn't help but want to tell her in secret that he wanted to make her happy and that he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

"Reporting, Chief, up until now, what has been dug out is still soil." At that moment, a worker came running out of the deeper tunnel to report.

"Or is it the body?" asked Vidala sharply.

When Shi Roland heard what the worker said, his face also darkened.

Alec, who was going to tell Shrewd the truth, saw this scene and stopped, a new idea forming in his mind.

Seeing Vidala so nervous about the vein, Alec resisted the urge to lead them to find out it was a glacial ore.

It was only midnight now and the mines had to be dug down until tomorrow morning. If he could find the glacial ore, then he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to lure them out.

If tomorrow morning, what was dug out was still earth, then everyone would despair and think that this was a waste mine. At that time, other than him, no one would know that this was actually a glacial stone mine.

If he could find a way to turn this place into the Alec family's home, then wouldn't that mean that the mine would fall into his family's hands and he wouldn't have to share it with this old fox?

After realizing this, Alec smiled darkly in his heart and continued to stand where he was, pretending to be deaf.

Over the years, Vidala had gone against Alec's family, both overtly and covertly, and earlier, Vidala's younger brother, Elöise, had tried to kill Alec by trying to get rid of him.

All of this made Alec feel no love for the Vidara family, and he also felt no guilt for hiding it from them. It was cruel to be merciful to the enemy.

Vidara and the others sat dejectedly on the cable car and went back to the upper levels.

When Alec returned to the tent, he was no longer calm. Instead, he felt a faint excitement: perhaps this was an opportunity for Alec's family to completely destroy the Vidara family.

The minerals on the Xuan Qi Continent were roughly divided into three types, namely the useless ore body, the ore body that could be used to forge weapons, and the ore body that could be used to assist cultivators in their cultivation.

The latter two ores contain many different kinds of ores, and the glacial ore belongs to the third party.

Although the Frost Ore Mine was one of the lowest level ores used to assist cultivators in their cultivation, it was still a great fortune for the Alec family.

Imagine, an ice ore the size of an egg could be sold for 10,000 taels of silver. Alec's family could only earn a little more than one or two million gold taels a year, which was one or two hundred pieces of ice ore.

If he were to mine this vein, he would probably be able to mine more than one or two hundred pieces of ores a day!

A single day's profit was more than what the Alec family had painstakingly earned for a year. What kind of concept was this!

It could be said that with this vein, the Alec family would be able to completely destroy the Vidara family without any suspense, and become the biggest overlord of Qingfeng Town.

Alec's heart that had been as calm as still water was now filled with anticipation. Despite his anticipation, Alec lay down on the bed and slept soundly. After all, the results would be revealed in the morning.

At this time, Shi Roland was lying in his tent, tossing and turning, without even the slightest bit of sleepiness. She was also looking forward to seeing this valuable ore deposit. Even if it were the lowest grade of ore, as long as it wasn't a ore deposit, it would mean endless wealth.

Although Stone Roland had made the double preparations in his heart, it would be false to say that he was not moved.

Vader paced back and forth in the tent like an ant on a hot pan, showing his anxiety.

Now he had pinned all the future hopes of the Vidara family on this vein. He had been in a hurry and thought that the chances of it being an earth mine were very low, but now he had unearthed a body of earth.

The mining is still going on, and perhaps by tomorrow morning there will be other minerals to be dug up.

Contrary to Vidala's mood, Li Zhenting felt slightly happy. Even now, the soil they had dug up was still soil, so it was highly likely that it was a useless mine. In that case, it would be too good.

On the other hand, Mu Xiao Ran was still calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about the mine at all. He laid down in the tent and fell into a deep sleep.
