Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 90 Large Mineral Veins

……

Wufeng Sect, Tianying Sect.

As the second branch of the Five Peaks Sect, this place controls all the Qi Sand mineral resources within the entire Fengzhou region. As long as it is within this area, it is under their monitoring.

Inside the central hall, there is a mirror, or rather, a map with a mirror-like surface, showing each area containing Qi Sand veins.

We monitored the changes in these mineral veins at every moment.

Whether or not there has been unauthorized excavation can be seen at a glance.

creak.

A disciple, as usual, pushed open the door and walked in.

He would check on them almost every ten days to make sure the resources were in good condition.

His gaze swept over the area, and his eyes widened: "There's a red area! Someone's illegally mining Qi Sand? A large vein?"

He walked over and asked, "The nearest county town is over 5,000 kilometers away. Who is mining this?" This Qi Sand vein is a large mine. The Five Peaks Sect has marked it, but no one has started mining it.

Right now, someone is illegally mining!

"This is a large mine, we must inform the elders." The disciple took a deep breath and immediately ran out.

Although there are means of communication, as disciples, they are generally required to personally convey matters.

After leaving the main hall, we walked along the square corridor outside and arrived at a courtyard hall five minutes later.

Standing outside the door, a delicate fragrance wafted out, and the arriving disciple seemed to calm down, but he still knocked on the palace door: bang bang bang.

"Elder."

"Come in," came a clear, lingering voice.

The disciple in green hurried inside. An elderly man in a Taoist robe was sitting cross-legged in front of the incense burner with his eyes closed. The disciple immediately said, "Elder, I just went to inspect the Heavenly Qi Hall and discovered that a large Qi Sand mine near Linglang County was being illegally mined. I came to inform you, Elder."

The old man, with his white hair and beard, and a fair face, finally opened his eyes. It took him a while for his cloudy eyes to regain their composure: "A large mineral vein has been illegally mined? Humph!"

"Ying Tianwu, come to me immediately." The old man's voice rang out, and only the person being summoned could hear it.

A short while later, a figure rushed in from outside the hall, took shape inside, and was wearing the same blue Taoist robe, but with a silver mountain pattern embroidered on the chest.

"Master," Ying Tianwu said respectfully as he entered.

"A large mine more than 5,000 kilometers west of Linglang County is being illegally mined. Take some men there and see if it's the work of a vicious criminal or someone else. Whoever it is, kill them all!" the old man said.

He knew the exact location of the hundreds of large mineral veins within Fengzhou, and when it came to Linglang County, he knew its location immediately.

"Yes." Disciple Tianwu immediately accepted the order.

With a flash, he vanished as a blur.

……

Let's go back to eight days ago.

In that great lake.

Luo Feng, who was cultivating, came out of the shelter. After the spirit-level monsters came up from the bottom of the lake, they piled up large amounts of Qi Sand in front of Luo Feng.

"This quality isn't ninth-grade Qi Sand." Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "If it's eighth-grade, then it should be seventh-grade."

He picked up the one with the best color and immediately absorbed and refined it through his body. His eyes shone even brighter: "Such pure Qi energy! It's incomparable to ninth-grade Qi sand, nor even eighth-grade. It's at least seventh-grade Qi sand. Could this Qi sand vein be a medium-sized or even large-scale vein?"

He had used the eighth-grade Qi Sand before, but it was far inferior to what was here.

Luo Feng's heart pounded wildly.

For large mineral veins, the detection process will likely be much stricter, and even the slightest mining activity could be detected.

If the other side sends someone, there probably won't be much of a chance.

These higher-quality Qi sands are the most important for his cultivation.

"It seems I have to take action myself." Flames danced in Luo Feng's eyes. Cultivation resources were too important, and he should try to seize as much of this Qi Sand as possible.

"Muye, Musu," Luo Feng called out.

At the same time, he collected all the Qi Sand in front of him into his spatial treasure bottle.

From another house, Makino's two figures emerged, looking somewhat puzzled.

"This Qi Sand vein is likely a large one, and the Qi Sand inside is very precious. We need to hurry up and dig as much as possible. When the Five Peaks Sect comes, if we can kill them, I'll have Lobitz kill them. If we can't, we'll dig a tunnel and leave." Luo Feng's eyes were filled with excitement.

It's been a long time since I've mined myself.

Makino's expression changed drastically: "A large mineral vein?"

"Let's go." Luo Feng didn't pay much attention and immediately jumped into the lake.

The entire lake is over 15,000 meters deep, and the water pressure below is incredibly terrifying. If one had not broken through to the Awakening Realm, they would not have been able to withstand it at all.

Below, there was no light from the people; they relied entirely on the illuminating stones they brought.

Once below, the Qi contained in the water was exceptionally rich, more than a hundred times richer than above.

"It must be a large Qi Sand mine." Luo Feng's expression changed, and he sped up to reach the bottom of the lake. Here, spirit-level ferocious beasts were exploring, and it was easy to tell whether it was Qi Sand through their senses.

Luo Feng and his two companions arrived at the lower location. The entire area seemed to be filled with this Qi sand, and the Qi energy was extremely concentrated.

In particular, both of them are highly sensitive to Qi and can completely sense it.

"Too much, I'm going to make a fortune." Luo Feng's eyes shone brightly, and the sensations became even stronger, so he went in that direction to collect these Qi Sand Crystals.

Luo Feng didn't want those that were too easy.

Although much of this place is affected by soil, with this kind of collection, one person can easily earn 100,000 to 200,000 a day.

Both Mu Ye and Mu Su looked on with shining eyes. Now they would have the resources for cultivation!

Luo Feng collected dozens of them into his spatial bottle at once, and in just a short time, he could collect hundreds of them.

"It's still somewhat scattered."

Luo Feng felt that his collection speed was too slow.

After all, he didn't know how many days he could hold out, and those guys from the Five Peaks Sect could probably arrive at any time.

"If only it were a spirit-grade ore vein, sigh."

This is just a large vein. If it were a spirit-level vein, the entire area would be filled with Qi sand, completely free of any impurities. That would be the most amazing.

Days passed by.

The two humans and three bodies barely rested, constantly collecting Qi Sand. Luo Feng gave Lobitz the order to instruct the spirits to only collect high-level Qi Sand and to concentrate it on the three of them.

Soon, one of Luo Feng's spatial treasure bottles was filled.

"If I hadn't killed that Elder Luo and obtained an even larger treasure bottle, I probably wouldn't have been able to fit all of these things in." Luo Feng felt fortunate; Elder Luo's spatial treasure bottle was more than ten times larger than the one he obtained from Adamostel.

There were also a few small items we picked up after killing those followers, which came in handy.

With such a frenzied collection, large areas were developed by them and "them". After only eight days, Luo Feng felt that he had received no less than five million, plus Mu Ye and Mu Su. Adding them together, it must be more than ten million.

This vein of ore seems to have been mined less than halfway... there's still a lot more underneath.
