The stone orb in front of him was about the size of a fist. It was different from the earthen yellow color of the Wutu Stone. The surface of the stone orb looked like it was made of gold, sparkling with a faint golden luster.

This was the Wutu Essence Stone. That's right, the Wutu Essence Stone contained within it far surpassed the Wutu Essence Stone in both its density and quality. This was the Wutu Essence Stone that could help cultivators break through to the Martial Human Realm.

Yang Junshan tried his best to suppress his excitement and reached into his waist pouch, but his hand stopped midway. Before going down to the mines, everyone's belongings had to be handed over to the supervisor for safekeeping, with only a bamboo basket, a hoe and two hoes. At this time, Yang Junshan didn't have a box with him, so even if he did, he shouldn't be able to take him out through the formation.

Holding the Wutu Earth Essence Stone in his hand and feeling around for a while, Yang Junshan had no choice but to bury it under the pile of slag he dug out beside him, and put it together with the dozen of Wutu Earth Essence Stones.

Carrying the hoe and basket on his back, Yang Junshan walked out of the tunnel without any hesitation. When he arrived at the fork in the road, he happened to pass two miners who were talking and laughing.

Seeing Yang Junshan walk out, the two of them glanced at the basket behind Yang Junshan. One of the miners mocked him: "Kid, you dug a barren mine?"

Yang Junshan gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "My luck isn't that good."

Another miner laughed and said, "You seem quite young, so you should be a newbie. You should be more particular about mining. The more you experience, the more you will gain."

Yang Junshan smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your guidance."

The two of them nodded at Yang Junshan, and then turned around to the middle of a tunnel not far away from Yang Junshan. Soon, they heard a tinkling sound.

Yang Junshan sneered, that tunnel was not any better than his. Obviously, these two were not experienced miners, they just wanted to see how lucky Yang Junshan was to be this way.

However, what troubled Yang Junshan the most was that there were more and more miners in the cave, and the number of cultivators passing by the tunnel became more and more frequent, which also caused Yang Junshan to become intermittent in his mining and training. Before, there was only one Earth Stone which was enough for him to cultivate in the cave for two days, but now, the one in his hand had not absorbed all of the soil essence in the cave for three days.

In the past, Yang Junshan had thought of using storage bags to avoid the detection of array dao, and for this reason, Yang Junshan also had a plan to search for storage bags. But now, even the miners had to hand over their belongings before going down to the mines.

The next day, Yang Junshan hurried into one of the three tunnels. Yang Junshan had already dug more than half of the Wutu Earth Stone in the tunnel before, and even if there were still some left to dig, it would become more and more difficult. However, after digging for a whole day to find the Wutu Earth Essence Stone, he was able to find nothing.

He wanted to find another tunnel that contained the Wutu Stone, because he was sure that there was at least one more Wutu Essence Stone there. Furthermore, the excavation of ordinary Wutu Stone would definitely be easier than the previous one.

Even though Yang Junshan was mentally prepared, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the scene in front of his eyes after digging for more than half a day. He couldn't find the Wutu Stone, but after digging for a while, he found a rich ore.

Half an hour before they left, Yang Junshan picked up the minerals they had already selected according to where he had agreed to meet with Chu Chuang and the others. It would be enough for them to mine for two to three days if he told them at the same time that there might be one or two places rich in the ore.

However, this time, Yang Junshan was carrying a basket full of ores as he walked over. From afar, he could hear Chu Chuang and the others discussing about this matter.

"Damn, the Spirit Valley in this town is getting more and more expensive!"

"Boss Chu brought us to lower the amount of ore and the amount of ore we had to pay. The amount of soil powder we received increased as well, but in the end, we were able to buy the same spiritual valley as before."

"From what you said, if it wasn't for Boss Chu, you wouldn't even be able to buy that small Spirit Valley."

"Sigh, that's not what he meant, but the quality of the Spirit Valley has been getting worse and worse. God knows how many sand grass roots the black-hearted grain dealer has mixed into the Spirit Valley, and his attitude is even more overbearing than before, looking like he doesn't want to buy it. We can only break his teeth and swallow it with his blood!"

"In order to save some cultivation resources for his grandson, Old Man Liang from the eastern end of the village hasn't eaten the Spirit Valley for more than ten days. With his age, his cultivation might collapse soon. At that time, he probably won't be able to live much longer."

"Compared to the other villages, our village's situation is much better. This is all thanks to Boss Chu bringing us to do this."

Yang Junshan walked over silently with the bamboo basket. The other adults were all very respectful when they saw Yang Junshan, and they all called out, "Young Master Yang!"

The few people in front of him were all the villagers who had followed Chu Chuang on the strike. Afterwards, Chu Chuang became the head of the Green Tree Villager because they had all risked their lives. This relationship had naturally made them the most trusted brothers.

Yang Junshan was originally not in their circle, but from their point of view, Yang Junshan had mastered the secret mining technique. This was because ever since Chu Chuang got to know this "Young Master Yang", the number of concentrates they had filtered out every day was 10% higher than before, and the yield of soil powder was 15% higher as well. Thus, even though Yang Junshan would always take a basket of minerals from them, these people did not complain at all.

Chu Chuang hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Yang Junshan's basket full of ores, he couldn't help but complain, "Aiya, Brother Yang, didn't you say you don't have to mine, other than finding a few places for your brother to mine, then find a place to rest and cultivate? How can we dig again …"

Yang Junshan unloaded the two hundred pounds of ore from his back with one hand and threw it on the ground with a "hualala" sound. A basket full of ores rolled out.

"Hiss hiss!"

Even though Chu Chuang was an experienced miner, when he saw Yang Junshan's basket of raw ore, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This ore is of such high grade, the so-called rich minerals we found in the past are practically slag compared to this ore. Brother Yang, Young Master Yang, you, where did you dig this ore?"

Yang Junshan smiled helplessly and said, "I found it by accident. Tell your brothers to crush the ore and divide it among themselves!"

Chu Chuang quickly waved his hand and said, "That won't do, the grade difference between this basket of ores and the other ores is too obvious, this is too much of an advantage for us."

"It's fine, it's fine. Just take it. I have collected enough soil powder and I'm afraid I'll be leaving soon. When I tell you all that I found this rich mine, it should be enough for all of you to mine for a few days to increase your income."

Yang Junshan had collected enough soil powder. The reason why he was still in the mine was for the Wutu Earth Stone. Even Han Xiusheng had urged him to collect other minerals. Now, Yang Junshan's mind was full of Wutu Earth Stones, so why would he care about this?

However, the more indifferent Yang Junshan was, the more Chu Chuang and the more grateful he got from him. The grade of these rich ores was much higher than that of ordinary ores, and the ore concentrate output after screening would probably increase as well. For Chu Chuang and the others, this could already be considered a huge income.

Under Chu Chuang's instructions, one of the brothers carefully picked up Yang Junshan's basket while the other picked up the scattered ore.

"Brother Yang, what about you, what are you trying to get our Old Chu to say?"

Yang Junshan laughed, "We are all friends, it is only right for us to help each other."

Chu Chuang looked at Yang Junshan with gratitude, then turned back to look at his brothers, as if they had a tacit understanding of each other. Then, Chu Chuang looked back at Yang Junshan, seeming to hesitate to speak.

The brothers got up and went to get busy. Yang Junshan laughed, "Brother Chu, please speak your mind!"

Chu Chuang was a bit troubled, "Us poor brothers have already received a lot of help from Brother Yang. Originally, we, Old Chu, shouldn't have taken another step forward, but now that each of us has a difficult time making ends meet, I, Old Chu, have to be the one asking for help from you."

Yang Junshan saw the seriousness on Chu Chuang's face, "Please speak!"

Chu Chuang said in a low voice, "We, Old Chu, will not hide this from Brother Yang. After we found out your identity, we, Old Chu, also sent people to the town to understand the situation of the Third Master of the Yang family …"

Seeing that Yang Junshan wasn't unhappy, he continued, "I didn't expect to hear a lot of things from Master Yang. Recently, the rumors say that Master Yang's village was devastated by the giant locust plague and hasn't seen any decrease in production for the past two years, and they say that Master Yang is now full of grain, so we, Old Chu, have the guts to ask Brother Yang for a way, can we exchange it for some back from Master Yang?"

Just as Yang Junshan raised his eyebrows, he heard Chu Chuang add, "Of course, the price definitely won't make things difficult for San Ye. We'll use ground clay powder to exchange, the price will be on the market …"

At this point, Chu Chuang clenched his teeth and said, "Even if it's a bit higher, it's fine!"

Yang Junshan was surprised, "It's fine even if it's high? "Then why don't you buy it in the town!?"

"Aiyo, my Young Master Yang!"

Chu Chuang complained, "What's difficult now is not the price, you can't get anything even if you have something. Even the spirit valleys here are limited in supply, how much is everyone fighting over it!"
