C90 Two

"This idea has been on Old Chu's mind for a long time. He originally planned to tell you later, but he just heard that you're leaving. If you don't say anything now, he won't have the chance."

Yang Junshan curiously asked, "Are you sure I will agree?"

Chu Chuang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but if I don't try, how would I know!"

Yang Junshan spoke with a stern face, "I can only pass a word to my father about this matter, after all, I can't make the decision myself. And to be honest, how much powder can you put together these days?" How much of the clay powder you grind every day, other than trading for the Spirit Valley? If the soil powder that I have accumulated can only be exchanged for three to four hundred jin in Spirit Valley, why would my father need to travel from Mengyu County to Chenyu County? "

When Chu Chuang heard Yang Junshan's words, a smile appeared on his face. However, after hearing the latter sentence, his face darkened and he couldn't help but sigh. His mouth wiggled, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

What Yang Junshan said was true. The journey from Mengyu County to Chenyu County would take at least one day and two nights for a horse carriage. Even if the cart could travel faster, it would take at least one day and one night.

Moreover, Spirit Valley was lacking everywhere at this time of year. They would openly drive a loaded food cart through the two counties, and in order to prevent any of the families from coveting the grain, they would need at least a Martial Disciple to stand in front of them. It was not worth it to buy and sell the powder for a hammer in the hands of the Green Tree villagers.

During the whole day, he pushed the mine tunnel forward seven or eight feet without any results. In the evening, Yang Junshan came back to the mine with a basket of raw ore, and after saying goodbye to Chu Chuang, he carried the basket of refined ore and left. He could tell that Chu Chuang wanted to say something to him, but in the end, he hesitated and didn't.

On the third day, Yang Junshan dug out another small cave from the bottom of the tunnel, and found a pentacle stone the size of a pigeon's egg. On the third day, Yang Junshan dug out another small cave from the bottom of the tunnel, and found a stone the size of a pigeon's egg.

Another three days passed, and Yang Junshan had already dug out eight or nine Earth Essence Stones from the second tunnel. Although he hadn't been able to dig out a second Earth Essence Stone, his harvest was not bad.

In the past few days, Chu Chuang gave Yang Junshan a small flag with the word 'Chu' written on it. Chu Chuang led his brothers and they had a conflict with the other miners over the mines these few days, so Chu Chuang and the others teamed up and started to occupy some mining tunnels. After inserting the word 'Chu' into the entrance of the mining tunnel, they told the other miners that they would be able to get through this mine.

Chu Chuang had already made a name for himself among the miners. With this flag, it saved Yang Junshan a lot of trouble. Placing it in the entrance of the mine, regardless of cultivation or mining, it would save him a lot of harassment.

On the evening of the seventh day, Yang Junshan, as usual, carried a basket of ores to the gathering place of Chu Chuang and the others. On the evening of the seventh day, Yang Junshan, as usual, carried a basket of ores to the gathering place of Chu Chuang and the others.

"Brother Yang, if I have a lot of soil powder, can you help me build a bridge between me and the Third Master of the Yang family?" Chu Chuang sincerely asked.

Yang Junshan was surprised, "A lot of powdered clay?" How many do you have?

Chu Chuang clenched his teeth and said, "Give me two months. I can save up enough to buy a full car in the Spirit Valley!"

"Impossible!" Yang Junshan didn't believe it at all, he said, "Two months is enough for a hundred and fifty Spirit Stones to accumulate. Even if you and your brothers don't eat or drink during these two months, you still can't save it!"

Chu Chuang said, "Don't worry about that, we, Old Chu, have a way to gather enough soil powder. As long as Brother Yang can get us a carriage full of the Spirit Valley, we Old Chu will not let you suffer any losses."

Yang Junshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Chuang, then shook his head and said: "Brother Chu, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't trust you. This is a very serious matter, you have to give me a reason to convince my father!"

Chu Chuang's gaze was unsteady, obviously he was also fighting in his heart. In the end, he seemed to have made some sort of decision and said, "Okay! "We're all being forced into this. Old Chu is betting his life and fortune!"

Looking at Yang Junshan's questioning gaze, Chu Chuang said in a deep voice, "Brother Yang, we unintentionally dug a secret passage at the bottom of a remote tunnel in the mining cave. It was a secret passage that escaped the array tunnel's surveillance and headed out of the mining cave!"

"What?" Yang Junshan immediately realized that his voice was getting louder. He covered his mouth and whispered, "How is this possible? Are there any brothers of yours who are proficient in array techniques?"

Chu Chuang bitterly smiled, "What formation master? He just happened to find them by accident. Chu Yang has already tried it out and sent a basket of sifted ore out of the mine. Afterwards, there was no warning on the formation path, so after we finished working, he and I quietly carried back the basket of ore from the back mountain."

In addition, the formation path of the mine could detect whether or not there were any belts on the body of the miner. In addition, the formation path also had the function of providing an early warning of the mine's excavation situation, so once someone excavated the tunnel to the ground, the manager of the mine would immediately be aware of it.

Chu Chuang didn't know what was going on in Yang Junshan's mind, he only nervously looked at him, but then he heard Yang Junshan suddenly said: "That won't do, the managers on the mine aren't fools, they can be used to check the ores every day and estimate the amount of ore they are collecting. If you guys were to smuggle the ore out, then the amount of ore you mine will definitely be reduced, and as time passes you guys will notice. Even if you guys can dig a bit more, the amount of ore you are smuggling will definitely be less."

Chu Chuang laughed, "We, Old Chu, have already thought of this. Firstly, with Brother Yang's guidance, we can always find some rich minerals, and naturally, the amount we mine will be taken away. Secondly, Brother Yang knows that I am leading my brothers to take over a field and excavate a few mines every day, saving me the trouble of fighting with other miners every day."

"So you've already thought about it!"

No wonder in his previous life, he could become the leader of the hundreds of miners in the Green Tree Village. However, this was a great opportunity for Yang Junshan: "No, this is a serious matter, I have to see the secret place myself."

Furthermore, it was normal for there to be a loophole in the mine's array. With Yang Junshan's current ability, if he were to see the array disc and foundation of the array, he might be able to find a secret passage in the mine. But just like Chu Chuang, he had coincidentally found a loophole in the mine, and his luck could be said to be very good.

When Chu Chuang heard that Yang Junshan wanted to personally look at the secret passage, his face changed and he said, "Brother Yang, there's no need for that, after all, that mine was found by my brother and I risked our lives to find it. How about this, you give me one thing, and I won't return it to you after I pass through the secret passage.

Yang Junshan also knew that it would be difficult to personally verify the secret passage, so he didn't insist when Chu Chuang objected and said: "Okay, tomorrow you tell Chu Yang not to go to work, I'll give you some things from the mine tunnel and then I'll leave the mine on the way out. You stay here and we'll meet up at a meeting place, if he can bring me back something for you, it will prove that you guys really have a way to avoid the array, what do you say?"

Chu Chuang pondered on Yang Junshan's method, but didn't find any loopholes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say!"

The next day, Yang Junshan didn't immediately go to find Chu Chuang after he entered the mine. Instead, he quickly walked towards the tunnel where he was digging. However, just as he arrived at the fork in the road, Yang Junshan stopped and his face turned pale.

Ding dang! Clank!

Not good, someone had come here to mine earlier!

Yang Junshan slowed down his pace, and came to the mining tunnel he was digging. He was relieved to find that there were no miners mining in the tunnel, but when he found the mining tunnel, his face darkened. The mining tunnel that was being excavated turned out to be another mine that produced Wutu Earth Stones.

How did someone notice this mine so quickly? Yang Junshan remembered that in his previous life, the discovery of Earth Stones happened a year and a half later, and Yang Junshan came to mine two years later!

When Yang Junshan saw the pile of slag at the end of the tunnel, he suddenly realized that the reason was because of him. Anyone who saw so much slag in a tunnel would think that the ore in this tunnel was not bad, and that there must be a lot of people mining here to accumulate so much slag.

Looking at the two persistent miners' figures at the bottom of the tunnel, although Yang Junshan had already dug out about 20 Wutu Earth Stones and a Wutu Essence Stone, he assumed that he had played with most of the Wutu Stone, but who knew if there would be more left over Wutu Stone.

Yang Junshan turned around and ran to the bottom of the other tunnel. The secret of the Wutu Stone might be leaked, and right now, Yang Junshan could only rush to dig a few more pieces of Wutu Stone before the information leaked out. Currently, his requirement for spiritual energy after advancing to the fourth stage far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level.

Fortunately, after he moved the mine, Yang Junshan also moved the earth stone and the earth stone hidden under the slag to the slag that was dug out by the mine. Otherwise, things would have become more troublesome to deal with.

Ding dang! Ding dang! Clank!

Yang Junshan once again crazily started mining. The sound of his hoe falling was almost as loud as the sound of the two miners mining in the nearby tunnel.

One, two ? Yang Junshan replaced the broken hoe with a new one.

"Three, four ?" Yang Junshan gnashed his teeth and threw the last Fa Yun Pill into his mouth, chewing it into a pulp. A thick spiritual power spread out from his abdomen, circulating through his entire body as he channeled the Wutu Spiritual Art.

When the fifth Wutu Stone was dug out, Yang Junshan's hoe was broken once again.

After changing to the last hoe, the sixth Earth Stone was finally extracted. Yang Junshan was already exhausted, and the continuous high intensity work almost exhausted Yang Junshan's last bit of energy.

Helpless, Yang Junshan could only slowly walk out of the tunnel like a mountain lord leisurely strolling in the wilderness. He was using the Tiger's Travelling Painting to restore his body, while at the same time circulating the Wutu Spiritual Art to restore his exhausted spiritual energy.

Once again, they quietly arrived at the entrance to the mine. The crisp sound of mining going on inside the mine could still be heard.

Suddenly, a voice came from the tunnel, "Old Qin, it's been a long time. Look at what we've dug up. The grade of these ores is too low. Let's go. Do you want to waste the entire day here?"

"Old Zhao, why don't you go dig somewhere else first? I don't believe you. With such a big pile of slag piled up here, could it be that the miner from before is also an idiot? Your elder is going to ram against this southern wall!"

"Ai, alright then. I'll dig with you and we'll be wasting time here today. But we've agreed that if we can't dig anything, we must change places tomorrow ?"

Yang Junshan didn't want to continue listening. He turned around and walked back into the tunnel quickly. He picked up his hoe and threw it at the ore in front of him.

"Puchi!" Another sound of something hitting the air came. Yang Junshan was stunned and thought to himself, "It can't be that coincidental right?"

In fact, it was not only a coincidence, but also a great coincidence!

A big piece of hollow shell was broken open. Inside was a four-foot-tall cave. A golden stone ball that was much bigger than the previous one rolled down from the inside and was caught by Yang Junshan.

The Wutu Earth Essence Stone, the second Wutu Essence Stone had been obtained!

Yang Junshan came in front of Chu Chuang with a basket full of ores. Yang Junshan tied the mouth of the bamboo basket so that not even a single ore could fall out.

Chu Chuang looked at Yang Junshan's bamboo basket and said in surprise, "Brother Yang, this is ?"

"Send this basket of ores out untouched, I'll go to the agreed location and wait for Chu Yang. I've already marked this bamboo basket with my Yang family's exclusive symbol. As long as you get this bamboo basket of ores, I'll believe you!"
