Chapter 17: Seizing the Mining Veins (Part 1)

  Yi Xinpu had a mysterious look on his face, and he lowered his voice to say: "Song senior, Qianyin Ice Mountain, do you know?"

  Song Jiao nodded and said, "I know."

  Yi Xinpu said: "Qianyin Bing Shan discovered a large-scale, thousand-year-old copper crystal mine. Hehe, the function of the copper crystal mine... seniors must be very clear about it."

  Xin Zhaolun couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise, and he said: "Large copper crystal mine? Are you kidding me? How is it possible for that thing to form a large mine, copper crystal ore is a unique material in this place, every time we discover it's always in extremely small quantities..."

  "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

  Xin Zhaolun suddenly stopped speaking, he also hoped to get the copper crystal mine, after all, this thing is also one of the main materials for building the secret door. This time, he came over mainly for the Bixi silk, if he had good luck and got a few pieces of copper crystal mine, that would be even better. Unexpectedly, there was also a large copper crystal mine.

  Song Jiao said: "Is this news ready?"

  Yi Chong Dao said: "It's extremely accurate, only... it's very difficult to pass through. The Thousand Sound Ice Mountain is behind the Ice Cave Plain, and going to the Ice Cave Plain is already very difficult, let alone passing through it. You all know that the time we can stay in the Ice Cave Plain is just a few dozen days... So, without the help of the True Lord, it's fundamentally impossible to go to the Thousand Sound Ice Mountain."

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly realized, immediately knowing the intention of these three guys, that is to use Song Jia's strength to send everyone over. He didn't oppose this kind of utilization, mutually beneficial, they spread the news, Song Jia was in charge of picking up, of course, the benefits brought by the news were shared by everyone together.

  Jin Deya furrowed his brow, muttering to himself: "Tong Jing? Tong Jing... Tong Jing... why do I feel so familiar with it...... uh, can't remember."

  "What can't you remember?"

  Jin Deya said: "The name Tong Jing is very familiar, but I just can't think of why..."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "What's with all the whys, Tongjing? In our place, it's often called a windmill copper."

  "Exactly! Windmill Copper! It's indeed Windmill Copper. Hehe, this is a great thing."

  Song Jiao said, "Sending you over is nothing, but you should know that the Thousand Sound Ice Mountain... isn't an easy place to mix around. There are many ice beasts there, and as the weather warms up, they'll be appearing soon. With your three-person team's strength, you can handle it, but the danger level is very high."

  Yi Chong accompanied a smiling face and said: "Isn't there you old man, hehe."

  Song Jie burst out laughing and said, "Alright, three little rabbits, you're quite good at this. Let's work together. We were originally planning to go to Bing Xue Yuan, so let's head to Qian Yin Ice Mountain first and see how much copper crystal ore we can dig up."

  Lei Xingfeng had also understood the importance of materials, and this time he was promoted to a higher level, just refining a Lei Yin cost him a lot of precious materials, and he borrowed a lot of materials, all of which needed to be returned. Even if he couldn't return the original materials, using other materials as substitutes would do, so he too was eager to go out and dig for ore.

  Hong Jie walked out and said: "Take me with you this time."

  Xin Zhaolun nodded in agreement and said, "Little Shifu has someone to protect her."

  Hong Jie nodded and said, "Yes, no problem. She's just practicing at home. The speed of practice here is very fast. After she advanced, she has completely consolidated it. As long as the actual combat experience is sufficient, it doesn't necessarily mean that she can't advance again."

  For Miao Ling, what mining is empty, her greatest gain is to cultivate here, but as her guardian Hong Jie, she can't help but consider a little more, so there is an opportunity for mining, she is not willing to fall behind, last time did not participate, this time no matter what must join in.

  Song Jiao slightly furrowed his brow, the number of people was a bit too many. Fortunately, it was the same world opening the secret door, so it didn't require too much expenditure. Otherwise, he would also have a headache. He said, "Alright, let's count the number of people. If there are any more, it won't be good. Do you want to exhaust the old man to death?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "No problem, we'll just have this many people."

  Lei Xingfeng brought Jin Daya, Feng Ying, Shi Hu, a total of four people. Xin Zhaolun was alone, he didn't bring Xiao Diya, his level was too low, if he followed, it would be too dangerous, Xin Zhaolun couldn't guarantee to protect him, so he didn't bring him. Another one was the last to join, Hong Jie. As for Chui Tou and Kuang Fu, they both returned, they got a lot of food, so there's no need to continue following everyone on an adventure.

  Then there were the three of them, Yi and Chong.

  Song Jie counted and said: "There are nine people in total, plus me is ten people. Hmm, the number of people... is a bit too many. Forget it, I'll just work harder and bring everyone along. However, there's one request, I hope you won't refuse."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Please go ahead, senior."

  Song Jiao said: "This time I go, no matter what I gain, I want two successes."

  Xin Zhaolun nodded and said: "No problem, I promise this, but we also have a... um, hope for our seniors." He didn't dare to say request.

  Song Jiao nodded and said: "Go on."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Protecting the safety of all our people."

  Song Jie was also very straightforward, because in this world, his martial arts skills were top-notch, and basically nothing could threaten him, so he readily agreed. He said: "What about the three of you? Can you agree to my terms?"

  Yi Chong also agreed readily, this condition was not harsh at all, even if Song Jue wanted half of it, they would have agreed. This opportunity was hard to come by, the difficult part was how to reach their destination. With Song Jue, who knew how much trouble he had saved them.

  Song Jie was very satisfied, with a total income of 20%, which didn't seem like much, but each person's gain had to take away 20%, and when combined, it became a huge amount. He was overjoyed that so many people were helping him work without having to pay anything, using the secret method's expenses, there was no difference between going alone or bringing people along, the cost was the same.

  As for safety, as long as you don't run into that kind of perverted giant ice beast, there's no problem at all. These people aren't ordinary cultivators, they're all Ninth Ring True Men. Even Lei Xingfeng is a super strong attacker, which means he's got two-tenths of the income, what else can he be dissatisfied with?

  Song Jiao said: "Very well, does everyone have any preparations? If not, we will set off now."

  As a cultivator, everything is stored in the wheel storage space, and it can be launched at any time.

  Xin Zhaolun glanced at everyone and Lei Xingfeng nodded: "We have no problem."

  Hong Jie said: "I don't have any questions either."

  Xin Zhaolun then said: "Senior, we can set off immediately from here."

  Yi Zhong, Yi Xinpu, and Yi Zhou looked at each other, then Yi Zhong said, "We don't have any problems either."

  Song Jiao said: "Alright, let's go." As he spoke, he waved his hands lightly and a door suddenly appeared. He said: "Hurry up!"

  The crowd poured in one after another, and when the last person entered the secret door, Song Jiao slipped in. The moment he entered, the secret door disappeared.

  With the secret door, everyone arrived directly at the Thousand Sound Ice Mountain.

  Lei Xingfeng walked out of the secret door and heard countless voices pouring into his ears, some like whispers, some like tiger roars or eagle cries, some like mournful songs, some like sharp blades cutting through the air. The strange and varied sounds rose and fell, making his head spin.

  "Indeed, worthy of the name Thousand Sounds."

  Song Jiao followed up and said, "It's just a rumor."

  Qianyin Iceberg, in fact a vein of icebergs, the icebergs here are all covered with countless ice caves. When the wind blows by, the tens of millions of ice caves produce various different sounds, hence the name Qianyin.

  Song Jiao said: "I have been to the Qianyin mountain range several times, and I only found a few kinds of ore. This is the first time I've heard that there's copper crystal ore."

  After Yi Chong and the other two came out, they kept sizing up their surroundings. After about twenty minutes, Yi Chong finally figured out their direction. He said, "Follow me, fortunately the extremely cold weather has ended, at this time the wind is the smallest, everyone can fly, but we must fly close to the ground, don't fly too high, or it will attract the attack of the ice beasts."

  Fengying and Shihu came to Leixingfeng's side with great tacit understanding, one on each side, grabbing Leixingfeng's arm, Fengying smiled: "We'll take you flying first."

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly remembered that he could already fly, but he had never flown before. So, the Crazy Eagle and the Tiger came to his side to help him get used to flying. He thanked them in a low voice, feeling a bit excited. With their help, he followed the crowd and flew forward.

  The mad eagle and the tiger, from time to time releasing his arm, after a few times, Lei Xingfeng gradually got used to it, slowly he could fly low-altitude by himself, although still not skilled, but has gradually grasped the secrets within.

  After flying for more than an hour, Yi Chong and the other two landed in a valley of ice. Yi Chong walked up to Song Jue and said: "Senior, it should be nearby, I hope Senior will take action and scan the surroundings."

  Song Jiao nodded, his body suddenly flashed and disappeared instantly. In just a few breaths, Song Jiao reappeared and said, "Isn't this the mining area you discovered?"

  "Yeah, it's a coincidental piece of information, heh, there should be someone inside."

  Song Jiao nodded and said: "There are six people in total, three of them are Ninth Ring and three are Eighth Ring True People. Their strength is not strong, what do you plan to do?"

  Yi Chong smiled slyly and said: "It's all up to Senior's orders."

  Xin Zhaolun wasn't stupid either, he also said: "But rely on senior."

  Song Jie sighed and said: "It's not easy to get these two achievements, okay, since that's the case, drive them away. If they resist, kill them all, don't let one escape."

  Lei Xingfeng only then realized how ruthless Song Jie was. He silently reminded himself that in this world, he had to be extremely careful. This place was different from his previous life. In his previous life, even if there were conflicts or hatred, it would not escalate to the point of life and death. But here, people could be killed without any reason or hatred.

  With Song Jia's support, Yi Chong and the other two immediately became excited and rushed forward.
