Three generations of the family gathered again in the unknown depth of the earth, and randomly found a stone to sit down in the bottom space of the mine.
After some narration by his second uncle Li Qingyang, Li Xuangang also roughly knew some of the reasons why his fifth uncle and the others came here.
It turns out that the fifth uncle was not the only one who learned that there was a miniature spirit stone mine here. Besides him, there was another casual cultivator in the foundation building stage.
When they came here, they happened to meet at the entrance of the six mines, and this casual cultivator also had two companions.
Regarding this miniature spiritual stone mine, both parties will neither give it up nor share it equally.
Almost as soon as they met, a big fight broke out.
But in the end, these three people died at the hands of Li Changqing and Li Qingyang due to lack of strength, completely ending their monastic careers.
And this is why Li Xuangang noticed the smell of blood at the entrance of the mine and the traces of battle left around it.
He listened carefully and marveled secretly.
Because he knew that although his second uncle Li Qingyang downplayed the battle three months ago, the actual situation was definitely extremely dangerous.
Since the other three dared to take action, their strength should not be too weak.
It must have taken a lot of effort for the fifth uncle and the second uncle to fight two against three, and maybe they even encountered some twists and turns!
However, since Li Qingyang did not tell the specific situation, Li Xuangang did not continue to ask. Neither party was hypocritical. Regarding the battle, they just brushed it off!
...
After that, one continued to talk and the other continued to listen.
After taking care of the three people and briefly cleaning the battlefield, Li Changqing and Li Qingyang then started digging, and they have been digging until now. It was not until today that they noticed that Li Xuangang came here as planned, and they stopped temporarily.
During this period, their experience was very simple. They did not encounter any accidents, and they could be considered uneventful.
But just when Li Xuangang was thinking about how long the fifth uncle and his second uncle had been mining, Li Qingyang suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the mine.
He turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by his finger, and found a pile of wooden boxes in the corner. There were ten of them, and they all looked quite small!
These ten wooden boxes contain raw spiritual stones that have just been mined. Judging from their condition, they are almost full.
Li Xuangang roughly estimated that if such a large wooden box is full, and all the raw spiritual stones in it are polished, each box should be able to polish around 5,000 spiritual stones.
For more than three months, the fifth uncle and the second uncle have been digging for raw spiritual stones here. Although they don't know the specific efficiency, the number of raw spiritual stones dug out is already a very terrifying number.
Without letting him make too many guesses, Li Qingyang quickly told him an accurate answer:
"This miniature spirit stone mine has a total of six mining sites, which are the six mines you saw before."
"But the remaining five mines, Uncle Wu and I have already gone down to inspect them before. The raw spiritual stone ore in them has been mined long ago. Only the mine we are in now has not been mined."
Hearing this, Li Xuangang showed a trace of doubt, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Isn't this a vein of spiritual stone that has never been mined before?"
Li Qingyang waved his hands, with a smile on his face, and continued to explain:
"That's what I thought before arriving. According to the information obtained by Uncle Wu, the ancient sect only explored this micro-mineral vein and then prepared to store it as a reserve of spiritual stones. It did not intend to mine it immediately."
"But when Uncle Wu and I entered these mines, we discovered that almost 80% of the entire micro-spirit mine had been mined."
"When we went down to the bottom of the last mine, we found that there were still some raw spiritual stones that they had mined but had not had time to take away, and there was quite a lot of them."
Li Xuangang was silent for a moment, and then expressed his guess:
"Could it be that the ancient sect suddenly encountered some changes ten thousand years ago, and then suddenly decided to mine this miniature spirit stone mine? But the matter may have reached a very urgent, even urgent, point. This caused them to continuously
It’s too late to take away some of the raw spiritual stones that have been mined?”
Of course, the truth has been completely submerged in the years with the passage of time. Li Xuangang's speculation here is just casual and has no practical significance.
Soon, he changed the subject and asked a question that was of great practical significance to both his fifth uncle and the family!
That is how many raw spiritual stones the Second Uncle and the others got here, and if they were polished into spiritual stones, how many would they have?
Li Qingyang first looked at the ten large wooden boxes in the corner, and then said softly:
"According to my estimation, Fifth Uncle and I will be able to polish at least 1.3 million low-grade spiritual stones once we finish mining here, plus the raw spiritual stones we discovered when we came here."
"As for the middle-grade spiritual stones, it depends on luck. I can't give an accurate number now!"
One million and three hundred thousand... This is an extremely huge number. Although Li Xuangang was mentally prepared before asking, he was still stunned for a moment.
Reaching out and patting his shoulder, Li Qingyang continued:
"Originally, my fifth uncle and I were a little worried that we wouldn't be able to finish mining it before the half-year deadline. It's a pity."
"But since you, Xuan Gang, are here now, with the combined efforts of the three of us, there will be no problem in mining the remaining veins!"
Because Li Xuangang was stunned by the huge number of 1.3 million just now, when he heard the words of his second uncle Li Qingyang, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Then he had another doubt:
Raw spirit stone ore cannot be obtained by just picking it up. How could the fifth uncle and the second uncle mine such a huge amount in less than four months?
After some narration from his second uncle Li Qingyang, he learned that the original amount of raw spiritual stones mined by the ancient sect and not taken away had actually reached 900,000.
In the past three months or so, the fifth uncle and the second uncle have actually mined a total of 280,000 raw spiritual stones.
In the remaining veins, there are probably 120,000 raw spiritual stones buried inside.
Therefore, the 1.3 million spirit stones mentioned by Li Qingyang actually refers to the final number that will be obtained after Li Xuangang joins the mining team and completes the mining of all the miniature spirit stone veins.
Silently thinking about the two months left before the half-year period, and then estimating the mining efficiency of the three of them, Li Xuangang found that after allowing time for the return trip, he could dig all the remaining raw spirit stones here.
Come out, there should really be no problem.
...
The three of them did not discuss the specific uses of these spiritual stones too much now, but planned to take them back to Taiqiu Mountain and then summon the rest of the Foundation Establishment period tribesmen to discuss them together.
After all, so many spirit stones are very important to the development of the family. Every spirit stone must be put to practical use in order for the entire family to truly improve its strength.
...
After Li Qingyang finished talking about the general situation here, Li Changqing also spoke. He put down the mining magic weapon in his hand and patted the dust on his body.
Then he asked about Li Xuangang's experiences during this period.
The latter naturally told all his experiences, but hid some unnecessary things.
After listening calmly to Li Xuangang's narration, Li Changqing's eyes gradually turned cold, and then there was a hint of special meaning. However, he did not say anything. Instead, his second uncle Li Qingyang comforted him:
"It's okay!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Xuangang took out several storage bags that he had prepared, which contained many of the resources he planned to bring back to the family this time.
Among them, there was a jade box sealed by a forbidden talisman, which he specially placed in the palm of his hand and presented it to Li Changqing and Li Qingyang.
"Could it be that...this is the Star Soul Fruit that Xuan Gang you just mentioned?"
There was a hint of excitement in Li Qingyang's eyes, because he knew very well the significance of a Star Soul Fruit to the family today.
On the other hand, Li Changqing's face was calm, without any movement, he just calmly took the jade box and opened it.
In an instant, the rich fragrance filled the entire space, and even the unique depressive atmosphere underground was dissipated.
