Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 89 – Requests

The stone orb in front of him was about the size of a fist. It was different from the amylopyrite’s earthen yellow appearance, which made the stone orb look like gold as it glimmered with a little bit of luster.

This was the Wutu Essence Stone. That’s right, the Wutu Essence Stone contained within was far superior to the amylopyrite in both its density and quality. It was a Wutu Essence Stone that could help cultivators break through their martial arts realm.

Unexpectedly, his hand stopped midway. Before he went down to the mines, every single person had to first hand over their belongings to the supervisor to keep them, and they only had to bring a bamboo basket, hoe and two hoes with them. At this time, forget about Yang Junshan not having any Spirit Sealing Boxes on him, even if he did, he would not be able to bring them out through the formation.

After placing the Wutu Earth Essence Stone in his hand and searching for a while, Yang Junshan had no choice but to bury it under the pile of slag he dug out beside him, and together with the ten odd amylopyrite s.

Carrying the hoe and basket on his back, Yang Junshan walked out of the mine tunnel without hesitation. Just as he arrived at the entrance to the mine, he coincidentally happened to walk past two miners who were chatting merrily.

Seeing that Yang Junshan had walked out, the two of them glanced at the basket on his back. One of the miners mocked: “Kid, you dug a barren mine?”

Yang Junshan laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: “My luck isn’t too 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 laughed bitterly: Thank you for your guidance.

The two of them nodded at Yang Junshan, then turned and went into a cave not far from Yang Junshan’s location, and in a moment, there were tinkling sounds.

Yang Junshan scoffed, the mining tunnel was not much better than his, it was obvious that the two were not some experienced old miners, they just took advantage of Yang Junshan’s age.

These few days, the number of cultivators passing by the mine tunnel became more and more frequent, which also caused Yang Junshan to become intermittent in both his mining and cultivation. In the past, one amylopyrite was enough for him to cultivate in the mine for two days, but now, the one in his hands had not absorbed all of the pent-up earth energy in the tunnel even after three days.

In the past, Yang Junshan had thought of using spatial items like storage bag s to avoid the detection of the formation dao, and for this reason, Yang Junshan had a plan in mind to look for storage bag s, but now, even the miners had to turn in the items they had on them before going down to the mines.

On the second day, Yang Junshan hurriedly walked into the last of the three tunnels. The majority of the amylopyrite s in the previous tunnel had already been dug by Yang Junshan, so even if he had to dig more, it would only become more and more difficult.

He wanted to find another tunnel that contained amylopyrite s. This was because he could confirm that there was at least one more Wutu Essence Stone and the digging of normal amylopyrite s would be much simpler than the previous one.

But even though Yang Junshan was already mentally prepared, the scene that appeared in front of him after he had excavated for more than half a day still left him at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. He was unable to find the amylopyrite, but after digging through a stretch of barren mine, he found a rich clay mine.

An hour before they went down to the mines, Yang Junshan picked out the minerals they had already selected according to the locations that he had agreed to meet with Chu Chuang and the rest at. It was enough for them to take up to two to three days to mine the next time they came tich ore deposit.

However, this time Yang Junshan walked over with a basket full of ores, and he could hear Chu Chuang and the others discussing from afar.

“Damn, the spiritual valley in this town is getting more and more expensive!”

“Boss Chu brought us to lower the amount of money in the mine, and to lower the amount of concentrate ore we have to pay. Our harvest of powdered soil has also increased, but in the end, we still bought the same spiritual valley.”

“If it wasn’t for Boss Chu, you wouldn’t even be able to buy that little bit of spiritual valley now.”

“Sigh, he didn’t mean it that way, but the quality of the spiritual valley has been getting worse and worse recently. God knows how many sand grass roots the black-hearted grain dealer has mixed in with the spiritual valley, and his attitude is even more overbearing than before, looking like he wants to buy it or not, we can only break his teeth and swallow it!”

In order to save some resources for his grandson to cultivate, Old Man Liang from the east side of the village has not eaten spiritual valley for more than ten days. At his age, his cultivation will probably collapse soon.

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

The bamboo basket silently walked over to Yang Junshan, and when the few adults saw Yang Junshan, they were all very respectful, and called out one after the other: “Young Master Yang!”

The few people in front of him were all the villagers who were on strike with Chu Chuang. After that, Chu Chuang became the head of the mines for the Green Tree Sect, because at that time, everyone was risking their lives.

Originally, Yang Junshan could not be considered aart of their group, but from their point of view, Yang Junshan had obviously mastered the secret technique of prospecting. This was because ever since Chu Chuang had met this “Young Master Yang”, the number of concentrates they sifted out everyday was 10% more than before, and the yield of the powdery soil had also increased by 15%. As a result, although Yang Junshan would take a basket of sifted concentrate mines from them every time he did not mine, these people did not complain at all.

Chu Chuang hurriedly walked over. Seeing that Yang Junshan’s basket was filled to the brim with ores, he couldn’t help but complain: “Aiya, Brother Yang, didn’t I say that you don’t need to mine anymore? Other than finding a few places for us to mine, we can also find a place to cultivate in peace.

With one hand, Yang Junshan unloaded two hundred kilograms of raw ore from his back and threw it onto the ground. With a “hualala”, a basket full of ores tumbled out.

“Hiss hiss!”

Even if it was Chu Chuang who was considered an experienced miner, when he saw Yang Junshan’s basket of raw ore, he could not help but exclaim in admiration: “This ore is of such high grade, compared to this so-called rich ore from the past, Brother Yang, Young Master Yang, where did you find this?”

Yang Junshan laughed helplessly, and said: “I found it unintentionally, so after you get your brothers to crush and filter the ore, we will split it among ourselves!”

Chu Chuang promptly waved his hand: “That won’t do, the grade of this basket of ores is far too different from the other ores, we are taking too much advantage of it.”

“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.”

The reason why he had stayed in the mines all this time was for the amylopyrite. For this reason, even Han Xiusheng had urged him to gather other mines.

Unexpectedly, the more nonchalant Yang Junshan was, the more grateful Chu Chuang was towards him. The grade of these rich ores were almost higher than that of ordinary ores, and after screening, the yield of the ores would probably increase as well. For Chu Chuang and the rest, this could already be considered quite a large amount of income, but Yang Junshan just gave it away like that.

Under Chu Chuang’s instructions, one of the brothers carefully picked up the basket on Yang Junshan’s back, and the other picked up the ore that was scattered on the ground without stopping.

“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.”

The look in Chu Chuang’s eyes that he used to look at Yang Junshan became more and more grateful, and he turned around to look at his brothers, as if they had some sort of tacit understanding with each other. Chu Chuang then looked at Yang Junshan, and seemed to want to say something, but stopped after pondering a little.

Seeing that, the few brothers got up and went back to work, Yang Junshan laughed: Brother Chu, please speak!

Chu Chuang was at a loss for words: “Us poor brothers have already received help from Brother Yang, we should not have taken another step forward, it’s just that each of us is struggling to survive, but I, Old Chu, have no choice but to ask for help from you.”

Seeing how serious Chu Chuang was, Yang Junshan’s face revealed a look of seriousness, and said: “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, sent people to the town to understand the situation of the Third Master of the Yang family … …”

As he spoke till here, Chu Chuang could not help but look at Yang Junshan’s expression, and seeing that Yang Junshan was not displeased, he continued: “I didn’t expect to hear a lot of things from Master Yang from the town, and the most recent rumor is that Master Yang’s village was devastated by the giant locust and did not reduce production for the past two years. It is said that Master Yang’s village was currently plentiful with provisions, so our Old Chu was bold enough to ask foath from Brother Yang, and could we exchange it for some spiritual valley from Master Yang?”

Just as Yang Junshan raised his eyebrows, he heard Chu Chuang anxiously add: “Of course, the price will not make things difficult for Master San. We will exchange the ground clay powder for it, and the price will be on the market. ”

After saying that, Chu Chuang clenched his teeth and said: “Even a little higher is fine!”

Yang Junshan said in shock: “Even if it’s higher, it’s still possible? “Then why don’t you buy it in the town!?”

“Aiyo, my Young Master Yang!”

Chu Chuang whined: “The real difficulty right now is not in the price, you can’t get anything with it, only the spiritual valley in the town mixed with dried grass and sand are limited in supply, how high is the price, everyone is fighting over it!”
