Chapter 197 There Is a Conspiracy
Seeing a stranger coming in, the miners in the mine subconsciously looked up at him, then lowered their heads and worked hard to mine, hitting the stone wall with pickaxes without saying a word.
Long Xuan nodded, and did not say hello to these people, turning his attention to the mine.
After a few glances inside, he finally understood why mortals could not be used to dig Gengjin veins, and only Gu cultivators who were good at body refining could be used.
Because there is no soil here, only stones, and they are not ordinary stones. The stones here are extremely hard and cannot be broken with ordinary pickaxes. Only spiritual pickaxes can be used. The higher the quality of the spiritual pickaxe, the faster the mining speed.
And Gengjin is the hardest metal in the Gu world. Everyone can imagine how rare this thing is.
So even if this is a huge Gengjin vein, Gengjin is impossible to appear in a cluster. The density must be extremely small, and each miner needs to dig for a long time to dig a piece.
And what is dug is still rough ore full of impurities. Only after about dozens of rough ores are purified by flames can Gengjin less than the size of a fist be formed.
Gengjinjing is even more difficult to find. It is already good to dig out a walnut-sized Gengjinjing after two years of digging.
And the stones here are too hard. If you use a gravedigger to dig a hole, it will break your teeth. Therefore, it can only be dug by pure manpower, and the output is very low.
Otherwise, how could Xitu Longshi be so generous to allow this group of geniuses to mine here for a month?
Because even if they were given a month, they would not be able to dig out much Gengjin.
At this time, there were too many people here, and it was not convenient to dig Gengjinjing here. Long Xuan's eyes turned, and a plan came to his mind. He took out a pickaxe and started to chisel the stone wall far away from the location of Gengjinjing.
In his sight, a piece of Gengjin crude ore happened to be hidden behind this stone wall.
Their group of geniuses who went down to the mine received special care. They all used high-grade spiritual pickaxes, while the rest of the ordinary miners used low-grade spiritual pickaxes.
As soon as his high-grade spiritual pickaxe came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many miners. They looked at him more and showed envy.
Long Xuan is a master of body refining, with great strength, and with a top-grade spiritual pickaxe, his mining speed is naturally far beyond that of ordinary miners.
Under his knocking, the noise was deafening, and stone chips fell in pieces. The hard stone wall could not withstand his chiseling at all. Not long after, he saw the piece of Gengjin crude ore hidden behind the stone wall, which was as big as a basketball.
Of course, this was just a crude ore with many impurities. After purification, there was not much left.
Long Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the Gengjin crude ore, and then went to dig the next piece of Gengjin crude ore with a clear goal.
Others used the fishbone mining method blindly, and it was difficult to dig out a piece of Gengjin crude ore even if they dug a hundred times.
But Long Xuan was able to dig out Gengjin crude ore every time he made a move, and as long as he used the pickaxe, he would get something.
This is why he asked Long Qian for a bunch of storage bags, because with his mining efficiency, one storage bag was not enough. If he continued to dig like this, let alone one, I am afraid he might not be able to dig even five.
Not long after, Long Xuan dug out five pieces of Gengjin crude ore, and then inserted the five pieces of Gengjin crude ore into a stone wall where two pieces of Gengjin crude ore were hidden, and then he shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha... This mine is so rich. I just dug it casually and dug out five pieces of Gengjin crude ore connected together. What good luck!"
Long Xuan's laughter immediately attracted the attention of all the miners.
"What? Digging five pieces in the same place! Where is it? Let me see!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, showing excitement, and then swarmed into the mine where the sound came from.
"Let me see!"
"Let me see too?"
"Really, it's five pieces of Gengjin crude ore!"
After seeing Long Xuan chiseling five pieces of Gengjin crude ore on the stone wall, everyone's eyes turned red, and then they waved their pickaxes together and began to chisel the stone wall next to Long Xuan.
According to normal people's thinking, if you dig here casually, you can dig out five pieces of Gengjin crude ore. The density of Gengjin crude ore here must be very high, so of course they will rush to dig here.
Everyone rushed to dig the stone wall near Long Xuan. As more and more people crowded in, Long Xuan was soon squeezed out.
Long Xuan shouted angrily: "Hey! I found this first!"
However, no one paid attention to him. Everyone was like crazy, chiseling this stone wall fiercely. With more people, there is more power. Soon this stone wall was smashed down by countless spiritual pickaxes, and soon two pieces of Gengjin crude ore hidden inside were revealed.
The crowd immediately reddened their eyes and there was a sound of rapid breathing.
"Hahaha... It's true! This is really a rich mine!"
"Mine, don't compete with me!"
"What do you mean yours! I found it first!"
"You fart! I dropped the hammer first, okay?"
"You are looking for death..."
The crowd was noisy at first, and soon it became chaotic, and the sound of fighting was heard.
There were too many people rushing in here, and they all thought that they were the first to discover the two pieces of Gengjin crude ore, and they actually fought for the two pieces of Gengjin crude ore.
After Long Xuan, the instigator, led all the miners in this area into the narrow mine, he immediately returned to the original place and went to dig the Gengjin essence with great interest.
This time everyone left, and no one would notice that he dug out the Gengjin essence.
However, the little trick he used would actually cause a big melee, which he never expected, and he could only say that it was a sin, a sin.
Then Long Xuan repeated his old tricks and used the same method to go back and forth between the various mines to plunder all the Gengjin essence that could be dug.
It took him less than a day to dig out all the Gengjin essence on the surface.
Patting the bulging storage bag, Long Xuan was in a good mood and smiled from ear to ear. What was in it was not ordinary Gengjin, but Gengjin essence.
Now all the Gengjin essence that could be collected has been collected. The remaining Gengjin essence is buried very deep. It takes a long time to dig it out. It cannot be collected in a short time. Long Xuan can only give up temporarily.
He set his sights on the mining area controlled by the Bai family next door, and his mind became active.
Speaking of which, although the mining area controlled by the Bai family is smaller than that of the Long family, the Gengjin essence buried in their surface is far more than that of the mining area controlled by the Long family.
How could Long Xuan not be jealous? Seeing that there are many five-digit progress next door, he wished he could fly over now and dig out all the Gengjin essence.
Long Xuan rolled his eyes and felt that the risk of this matter seemed small.
After all, boundaries can be drawn on the ground, so how can boundaries be drawn underground?
It is normal to accidentally dig too far, and it is difficult for both parties to judge whether they have crossed the boundary. They may not even know where the boundary is underground.
Even if one party really crosses the boundary, the two parties will argue with each other, and then settle the matter through a ring match, and finally the matter will be left unresolved.
This scene is too familiar to Long Xuan. When the various tribes in the Far West dig fossil veins, people often dig across the boundary.
Especially the Longfeng clan, there are countless conflicts because of this, and in the end, they are all settled through the ring match.
Therefore, even if the digging across the boundary is discovered, it will not be a big deal, but Long Xuan quickly shook his head again. He is suspicious by nature and has always been cautious. He is unwilling to take even the slightest risk.
In his opinion, there is still a little risk in mining across the boundary, and you must not be reckless. Unless you find a way to kill all the spiritual sea period supervisors of the Bai clan, it is impossible to be 100% safe if you rush over.
Just as Long Xuan was thinking this, he suddenly frowned, as if he had noticed something. He reached out and knocked on the stone wall next to him, and heard a hollowing sound.
He was shocked. There was actually a secret passage leading to the Bai family's mining area. He just wanted to dig a secret passage to the opposite mining area, but he didn't expect that a ready-made secret passage would appear in front of him.
Is this a coincidence? Isn't this tempting him to commit a crime?
He just suppressed the idea of digging a secret passage to sneak through, and now a ready-made secret passage appeared to tempt him. How could he withstand such temptation?
Long Xuan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and showed a thoughtful look.
No, this secret passage blocked by stones was obviously dug by humans. How could ordinary miners have the courage to secretly communicate with the secret passage? It was probably done by the supervisors in the Spiritual Sea period.
Was it done by the three supervisors of the Long family or the three supervisors of the Bai family?
What exactly did they want to do by digging this secret passage?
Long Xuan thought quickly, and he had to prepare for the worst in everything, so he could directly exclude the three Linghai period supervisors of the Long family. He could only assume that this secret passage was dug by the three Bai family supervisors on the opposite side.
What did they want to do by digging this secret passage? What on earth did they want to do by sneaking over here? It couldn't be a good thing, there must be a conspiracy.
He was still stupid enough to send his clone to watch outside. Those Bai family Linghai period Gu cultivators could come directly from here.
Long Xuan was instantly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. How could he dare to sneak through this ready-made secret passage at this time? What if he bumped into the three Linghai period supervisors who were about to come over?
Let alone going in, he didn't even dare to stand next to this secret passage, so he hurriedly left and stayed far away from here, for fear of accidentally bumping into the Bai family supervisors. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time.
…
At this time, outside, a distance away from the Gengjin ore vein, a small boat flew through the sky and slowly landed here.
Since this place is far from the mine, the people in the mine did not notice that a small boat was sailing here and several uninvited guests came down.
"Haha, I finally waited for the three brothers to come. With the help of the three brothers, the six of us in the Spiritual Sea stage Gu Xiu can break the formation together, and it will not take more than half a month."
Bai Ye smiled and walked over to greet the three people. If Long Xuan was here at this time, he would definitely find that this person was the Bai family's Spiritual Sea stage supervisor who looked at him with a sinister look before.
He was the only supervisor who came here to greet the three people. The other two Bai family supervisors were still in the mining area. After all, the mining area cannot be left without supervisors, and being able to leave one person is already the limit.
However, the three Bai family Gu Xiu in the Spiritual Sea stage who came with the spirit boat did not land the boat directly on the mine, but landed far away from the mine to prevent anyone from discovering it. This is intriguing.
