My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 481

Chapter 480 Unexpected, Yet Reasonable!

The second hidden danger is more profound than the first.

This shows that Ronglong really wanted to cause trouble, and it wasn’t a small matter.

After all, these are insects that specialize in devouring spiritual veins and mineral veins. It takes time just to collect them, let alone cultivate them.

“Um?”

“There’s an egg!”

“Could it be that Yang Zhenyue has never been here before?!”

The second potential hazard is also located in the mineral vein.

Compared to the first type of spirit iron ore, the second type is the rarer black iron ore.

This thing is specifically used to refine magical artifacts and magical implements, and there is a huge demand for it.

Next to the black iron ore, at the location marked by Yang Zhenyue, there was indeed something there this time, and it was an egg.

It looks quite big, at least as big as a human head.

It’s all black, without any patterns, and looks quite plain.

However, if it happens to be located in a potentially dangerous area, then it’s definitely not a simple matter.

Xu Changqing scanned it with his divine sense and discovered that it contained an extremely faint life force: “With such a big egg, how big must the insect be?”

But then he thought about it again and realized something was wrong.

Perhaps the real threat has already been apprehended or has left.

Leave only this egg, and wait for it to hatch so it can continue to gnaw on the black iron ore.

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing decisively stepped forward and lifted the egg up, then took the opportunity to observe it carefully.

If he remembered correctly, there were about four types of spirit insects that specifically gnawed on black iron ore.

They are: Iron-eating Insect, Mineral-eating Insect, Gold-devouring Ant, and Black Iron Earthworm.

The first type is a companion insect, which is easy to find near mineral veins.

However, these things are generally not expensive.

Because its main function is to gnaw on material residue, most of the buyers are weapon refiners.

Of course, the most important point is that none of these four types of spirit insects can produce such large black eggs.

This indicates that it is an exotic insect, and very rare.

However, even though Xu Changqing possessed the Myriad Insects Secret Record, he couldn’t distinguish it immediately, so he could only temporarily store it in his ring and deal with it later.

Then, as usual, they used the treasure-hunting chisels to search for rare ores in the vein.

Anyway, of the three potential problems, only one remains now, so there’s no need to rush to address them.

Walk and walk.

I searched and searched.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, we finally reaped the rewards.

Once the treasure-hunting chisel is aimed at a spot, it immediately starts clanging and clattering.

Xu Changqing observed this and exclaimed, “Very good, you are a qualified mining chiselman!”

With this thing, you don’t even need to do anything yourself.

Automatic treasure hunting, automatic excavation.

It seems that Jin Xuanzi also has a high talent for weapon crafting.

It can even be inferred that this person also enjoys mining.

Before long, something different from the black iron stone appeared ahead.

They grow in clusters, one next to the other, looking like tree branches.

The diameter of a single cluster is about five inches.

It is dark gray overall, and contains many tiny white bubbles inside.

Its roots are closely connected to the mineral vein, and they appear to be inseparable.

Xu Changqing suddenly realized: “This is a black iron crystal cluster, a basic crystal.”

This thing cannot be easily separated, otherwise the spiritual energy inside will be lost.

The best way is to first wrap it with golden spiritual energy, and then peel it out little by little.

Moreover, this thing has the same growth cycle as the spirit iron crystal from before; it takes a very long time to grow, about a hundred years to grow to one inch in length.

Its main function is to be embedded in spiritual artifacts and magical implements, and then automatically absorb gold spiritual energy during daily use or in battle.

Some cultivators even place this thing at the Tanzhong acupoint to accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy.

However, overuse can lead to arteriosclerosis.

Overall, it’s a really good product, but the price isn’t low.

Without hesitation, Xu Changqing raised his hand and released a wisp of his own magical power to envelop the cluster of black iron crystals in front of him, but instead of peeling it away little by little, he quickly separated them.

As a Golden Core cultivator, he had more subtle control over his divine sense and magical power, so naturally he didn’t need as much time.

Without even looking at it, he threw it directly into his ring.

They continued exploring and digging until, after two hours, they finally encountered the third hidden danger.

However, to Xu Changqing’s surprise, the environment of this place was unusually unique.

It is a huge underground space.

There are mineral veins, and more than one.

There is even a spiritual vein not far away.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing shook his head: “If it were just an ordinary insect, Yang Zhenyue wouldn’t care at all, and wouldn’t even bother with it.”

But he could definitely deal with these insects that could affect the spiritual veins.

Unsurprisingly, the other party had been here several years ago, and more than once.

Currently, only one insect egg has been found in two of the three potential hazard sites.

The third one, though, was not even approached, nor even glanced at.

However, it is clear that the possibility of insects being present is extremely low.

No wonder Yang Zhenyue dared to send him here alone to explore; he clearly knew the real situation.

Sure enough, when Xu Changqing arrived at the third location marked by the other party, which was also the last potential hazard, there was nothing there except for a pit in the ground.

There might have been something before, but it definitely wouldn’t have survived to this day.

Xu Changqing shook his head. Although he was a little disappointed, he could understand. Then he picked up the treasure-hunting chisel and chuckled, “Hehe, luckily I also had a backup plan.”

Since there are no more insects, let’s look for rare ores and minerals.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

Anyway, so far, I’ve earned almost several thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Following this trend, as long as there are further gains, earning tens of thousands is definitely achievable.

Perhaps due to the higher temperature here, most of the mineral veins, except for the spiritual veins, are related to the fire element.

Xu Changqing could recognize the following: molten iron ore, black steel ore, spirit marrow ore, and sulfur crystal.

Of course, it’s a bit unrealistic for him to collect them all by himself.

Although it is the Golden Core stage, it cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Moreover, all the underground mineral veins belong to the earth veins and the immortal sects.

Only disciples of the Earth Spirit Root are qualified to excavate and collect.

Xu Changqing could only take advantage of the opportunity to search for spirit insects and resolve hidden dangers to secretly dig up a little bit in secluded places.

If discovered, they all have to be handed over.

Whether the treasure-hunting chisel sensed its owner’s “disappointed” mood or not, it darted back and forth through the various mineral veins at an extremely fast speed.

At first, it only emitted a yellow light.

As they went deeper, the number and frequency of vibrations began to increase, and eventually, they discovered quite a few rare ores and minerals.

Examples include: Molten Iron Spirit Crystal, Green Wood Black Steel, Spirit Marrow Jade Heart, and Earth Core Burning Crystal.

These items are all rare ores and minerals, so their prices range from a few hundred to over a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Before long, Xu Changqing’s earnings this time successfully exceeded 10,000.

Just as he was considering quitting while he was ahead, the entire space suddenly began to shake.

Immediately afterwards, the rock strata on the other side suddenly collapsed, followed by a wisp of yellow smoke!
