Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road

Chapter 169 Excavation and Exploration

Evergreen Mountain.

Patriarch Li Cunliu learned of the news that Li Xingsheng had discovered the metal spirit mine.

"I discovered it so quickly..."

Li Cunliu was definitely happy when he heard the news, but he was still a little worried. Now the monks of the Li family were relatively small compared to the resources occupied by the Li family.

If this metal spirit mine is real, they will at least send a late-stage Qi Refining monk to guard it.

The good thing is that the Li family's current cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining are currently most in line with the situation of their three-level foundation-building immortal cultivating family, and there are now twenty-two of them.

The senior monk of the Li family sent by Li Qianqing not only told Li Cunliu the news, but also conveyed Li Qianqing's intention that Changqing Mountain needed to send a monk who practiced earth-attribute skills in the late stage of Qi refining.

While happy, Li Cunliu quickly made arrangements.

At the same time, he also brought the news to Li Lilong.

If this metal spirit mine is real, the Li family's annual spirit stone income will increase again, and they will be able to train more monks in the future, but it will be a little harder now.

If the metal spirit mine discovered is only micro, all the profits will go to the Li family. If it is a small spirit mine, the situation is different. At this time, they must report it to Qingfeng Valley, and Qingfeng Valley will get involved.

This is the underlying rule.

If the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation Force affiliated with their Li family discovers the micro-spirit mine, they must report it to them, and then decide how much of the mining share the Li family will take. This is the same as their reporting to Qingfeng Valley.

This is what a foundation-building immortal cultivating family is like. Only if they are a pill-forming immortal cultivating family can they completely swallow up the entire small spiritual mine.

After Qingfeng Valley intervened, the profits from the mining of the Metal Spirit Mine were distributed according to the comprehensive strength of the Li family. The more powerful the Li family was, the more they could expect.

Li Cunliu quickly found Li Lilong and briefly talked about the situation on the Changqing Mountain side. It was very likely that a metal spirit mine had been discovered.

After Li Lilong heard this, he was so happy that he immediately found suitable tribesmen and sent them to Changqing Mountain, and then made some adjustments in affairs. After sending a clan member over, it means that there is one less person to do things in Evergreen Mountain, so the affairs he originally had in hand will be assigned to other clan monks.

The distribution of family affairs must be continuously adjusted according to the family's situation, and strive to be maintained in the most reasonable and optimal state.

Soon after Li Lilong made the arrangements, two family monks from Changqing Mountain formed a team and set off for Changqing Mountain.

One of them is a monk from the previous generation who originally came from Changqing Mountain, and the other is a monk from the Li family.

Li Liqing ranked twenty-fifth among the Li generation, with spiritual roots of earth, water, and gold. He had just entered the eighth level of Qi Refining and was two years older than Li Qianqing.

He majored in earth attribute skills and also had metal spiritual roots, which made him very suitable for the excavation work required to discover the metal spiritual mine this time. When Li Lilong was considering candidates, he immediately chose him.

After Li Liqing arrived at Changqing Mountain, Li Qianqing was not surprised. He thought that the fourth uncle would probably send twenty-fifth uncle over.

Under his arrangement, Li Liqing quickly arrived at the designated location and began his exploration and excavation.

According to Li Qianqing, the metal spirit mine is probably down here. As long as you keep digging down, you can know whether there is a metal spirit mine.

It's mid-April.

It has been less than half a month since Li Liqing started his excavation mission, but he still has found nothing.

When such a situation occurs, the most anxious person is Li Xingsheng, who has been paying attention to this matter.

Li Xingsheng believed in Shushu. There must be a good metal spirit mine down there.

He has emphasized this many times, but except for the Thirteenth Uncle, other clan members have no confidence in his judgment. It is impossible for him to tell everyone what the Thirteenth Uncle said to him, indicating that this is also the Thirteenth Uncle. Bo's judgment.

Although many of what Thirteenth Uncle said are quite accurate, this cannot be his reason unless Thirteenth Uncle personally explains the situation to everyone.

this day.

Li Liqing returned to Changqing Mountain to find Li Qianqing.

At this time, Li Qianqing had just finished refining forty furnaces of the second-level low-grade spiritual elixir.

"Qianqing, is there really a metal spirit mine down there? I have dug down and explored seventy-five feet." After Li Liqing saw Li Qianqing, he immediately explained the situation.

At the beginning, he was still very confident, thinking that after the family discovered a metal spirit mine, the development speed would be faster. However, as the digging deepened, he became less and less confident. If this continued, it would be possible. Nothing was gained.

"Twenty-fifth uncle has not reached 100 feet, so we can't have such thoughts." Li Qianqing smiled slightly, "There are spiritual mines underground. Let alone 75 feet, there may be spiritual mines even at 750 feet."

Spirit mines that go deeper into the ground are less likely to be detected, so spirit mines that go deeper into the ground are usually larger. For example, many medium-sized metal spirit mines are located hundreds of feet underground, and there are also some monster beasts that are inaccessible. On the site, these are usually located relatively shallow and lack the discovery of monks.

"I understand what you're saying, but can the gold-eating rat in Xingsheng really discover such deep metal spiritual mines?" Li Liqing felt that the mutated gold-eating rat was not that powerful.

He also knew about monsters like the gold-devouring rat. It was already extraordinary that a mid-level first-order gold-devouring rat could discover metal spirit mines that were forty feet underground. Most of them were around thirty feet tall.

Li Liqing also asked Li Xingsheng about the situation, and the news he learned was that Li Xingsheng's gold-eating rat had only entered the middle stage of the first level and had not had much time. Even if such a gold-eating rat had mutated, it could detect existences seven to eighty feet underground. The metal spirit mine?

Li Liqing put a big question mark in his mind.

In his opinion, there was no point in digging and searching, otherwise he wouldn't have come back to find Li Qianqing, so he could just report on the current situation.

"To what extent has the mutated gold-eating rat in Xingsheng's hands mutated, and what are its abilities? No one can judge this at the moment."

Li Qianqing knew something in his heart, but he couldn't express it simply and directly. At present, Shushu has no record of detecting metal spirit mines, and no one dares to guarantee it.

"Are you planning to give up before we reach 100 feet? It won't be too late to give up after digging and exploring to 100 feet."

Li Li heard the words lightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Ok."

He also believed in Qian Qing's judgment. Since Qian Qing had said so, it was hard for him to continue saying anything.

Anyway, some of Li Qianqing's judgments so far have never disappointed them. For this reason, Li Liqing decided to dig and explore another twenty-five feet.

Li Liqing, who had no problem, made a simple adjustment on Changqing Mountain and then returned to the top of the metal spirit mine.

While resting in Changqing Mountain, he went to meet Li Xingsheng again.

Li Xingsheng once again emphasized to him that he very much believed in the judgment of his mutated gold-eating rat. There was definitely a metal mine below, so he also asked him to believe it.

At this moment, where Shushu discovered the problem.

A large piece of the woods here fell down, and Li Li gently moved them aside. In addition to a large number of mounds of soil next to the woods that did not fall down, there was a large, round pit in the center.

A distance of about ten feet from the pit is normal for pedestrians. In the area below, only monks can usually walk. Even mortal warriors find it difficult to move inside.

Now Li Liqing has not discovered the metal spirit mine, so he will just do it simply like this. If there is really a metal spirit mine down there, he will have to make corresponding modifications and arrangements from the metal spirit mine to the ground so that mortal warriors can go up and down. Be gentle when mining spiritual minerals, so that the efficiency of mining spiritual minerals will be higher.

Two days later.

Li Liqing's excavation exploration has reached eighty-five feet underground.

At this time he felt something abnormal.

"Really?"

He has a metal spiritual root, and he also has a vague sense of metal spiritual mines, but this is far from the most common first-order early-stage gold-eating rat.

Now he feels that there is something down there, but he seems to feel that there is nothing.

He used to look a little tired, but now he looks energetic!

It's scary not to see hope. Now that there is hope, Li Liqing's entire mental state is different.

He doesn't plan to rest today either!

He pressed his palms onto the soil below, and his own soil spiritual power began to penetrate downwards. After covering a part of the soil, this part of the soil began to disappear as time went by.

The excavation and exploration at the top is relatively easy. You can directly use spiritual power to move the soil. The deeper you go into the ground, the harder it will be to move it. It will be easier to gradually assimilate the soil's spiritual power into the soil.

At the moment, where he was, there was basically no light and it was completely dark. It was quite torturous to dig and explore in this place, but Li Liqing didn't feel that way at all now.

Sunrise time.

Li Liqing's voice came from the ground. When heard from above, the voice was very vague, but very exciting.

Last night, as he continued to go deeper, especially when he reached about eighty-eight feet, Li Liqing was already 80% sure that there really was a metal spirit mine below.

But when he continued to dig deeper and explored to the eighty-nine feet, he was already 100% sure that there was definitely something underneath.

Now he finally got his answer.

"This is a first-grade low-grade blue rock..." Li Li looked at the exposed corner of the blue rock and was very excited.

He wanted to tell Li Qianqing the news quickly.

In the Changqing Mountains.

After asking Li Liqing to continue digging and exploring a few days ago, he stopped refining the elixir.

Calculating the time, Li Liqing should be at Changqing Mountain almost now to tell him the good news.

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Even if Li Qianqing didn't use his spiritual sense to check, he knew it was Li Liqing outside.

"Come in."

As soon as Li Qianqing finished speaking, the stone door slowly opened.

Li Liqing from outside almost rushed in.

"Qianqing has the result!"

"What kind of metal spirit mine have been discovered? Tell me!" Looking at Li Liqing's appearance, Li Qianqing was very happy, with a hint of excitement in it.
