Chapter 60: Fat Ghost, Fat Fragrance Mine
"This is a space gate created by the Mohist school."

"It's already tied into this mechanism, and it can directly remove any Buddha's Crown Gold you want to take out."

"So you can take it home and mine it yourself. Just pick one you want..."

The white mouse scratched its already sparse hair on the top of its head with its claws and muttered in a low voice:

"Hmm, I seem to have heard vaguely that there's something unusual about the eleventh mineral vein on the left. Sigh, please excuse my poor memory, Junior Brother."

It cupped its paws, a revealing smile on its face, and blinked its little eyes several times.

Li Ye: “…”

This is really a wonderful mouse.

Since this is the case, he must return the favor.

He suppressed his laughter and said, "Junior brother, here is a bottle of peach blossom wine with some purple oil and spring rain added to it. If you don't mind, you can try it."

He took out a bottle of wine weighing about one or two taels.

"Oh oh!" The white mouse's eyes lit up: "Of course, of course, Junior Brother, go and take a look.

Remember to be careful. The mine has been closed for a long time. There are no high-level monsters, but there are some small monsters.

I'll be waiting for you here with a drink. This fine wine, this beautiful scenery, is enough for me!"

It held the bottle of peach blossom wine, its eyes full of intoxication.

After taking another deep sniff, the whole mouse began to tremble and sway, relying only on the tail behind it to support its body so that it would not fall down.

Purple Oil Spring Rain is indeed a good thing that neither spiritual beasts nor spiritual plants can refuse.

But it said there were some small monsters inside, so it seems I still need to clean it up.

"Then I'll go take a look first, Junior Brother."

Li Ye was thoughtful and muttered in his heart. He found the portal of the eleventh mine on the right side that Bai Laoshu mentioned. Looking at the portal with rippling water in front of him, he walked straight in.

After a brief trance, a very deep mine tunnel appeared in front of him.

He looked around and saw that the room could only accommodate two people, and the height was only about three meters. Any monk who was a little taller would feel a little cramped.

Behind Li Ye was a portal made up of mechanisms and gears.

Mining lamps were hung on the mine walls on both sides, and in the flickering light, one could vaguely see wisps of fine ore exposed on the outside.

They stretch out in large pieces, sparkling under the light, like a series of colorful lights.

Even if Li Ye doesn't know much about the mineral veins, this should definitely be considered a rich mine.

If we bring those golden-horned ants here, they will dig like crazy.

"Is this what it means to have someone to help you?"

"But what exactly is Buddha's Crown Gold that would make the Mohists spend so much energy and even give it away for free to people to mine it?"

"I'll see if I can find one."

He tried to search inside, but after about half a cup of tea, he still couldn't find any materials related to "gold".

I did see a lot of other things like copper and iron mines.

Naturally, I feel a little discouraged when I get nothing.

To be honest, he wanted to occupy this mineral vein purely because he wanted the golden-horned ants to help him earn some extra money and evolve at the same time.

After all, they have been bound together by themselves with a lot of vitality essence, so if they can be cultivated, there should be hope for the future.

As for him, he certainly didn't know any magic to find minerals. How could he find minerals in such a deep mine?

"Ok?"

He vaguely felt a gloomy aura flashing through the distant mine wall, and white liquid dripping from it.

"Are there really monsters?"

Just then, he could barely make out a white shadow peeping at him. For a cultivator, being watched was easy. Li Ye didn't retreat. This was the ore vein he was about to mine, and if there was any danger, he had to eliminate it. Senior Brother Rat had only said to be careful, which meant there was no threat to him.

The danger must be eradicated!

He quickened his pace and chased after it. The shadow was fleeing in front of him, and it seemed that he might not be able to catch up.

So when he was about to get close, he calculated the distance, pointed his finger at the ground, and threw out several golden-red fireballs.

"go with!"

The earth surge technique, strengthened by the Spirit Vein Willow, instantly melted the ground and the mine wall. The rock layer rolled and blocked the monster's path, and a fireball smashed down on it.

"Woo!"

The monster let out a howl, and the golden-red fireball ignited like grease, igniting the entire thing in an instant. The flames shot up into the sky, accompanied by a strange fragrance.

Burns very fast.

When Li Ye arrived, it was almost burned out.

But fortunately the panel still works——

[Name]: Shizhigui

Mood: Feeling painful
【Status】: About to be burned by flames

"Stone Ghost."

Li Ye watched the monster burn out quickly in the flames like a candle, looked up at the deeper mine in the distance, and took a deep breath.

The strange aroma brought by the burning monster still lingered in the air. It had a cold fragrance that was not unpleasant, and even had a refreshing effect.

If he guessed correctly, there might be "resin incense mine" here.

That is a special kind of mineral wax. He had heard Su Ya say when they were chatting before that this kind of wax is the material for making "earth wax".

"Ozokerite can help monks calm their minds and concentrate. Light a stick of it, and the light it emits can illuminate everything in detail.

It is an excellent aid for cultivators who refine elixirs, draw spells, assemble mechanisms, and build formations."

——He still remembered Su Ya’s voice at that time. There was obvious expectation in his words. It was obvious that this thing could not be obtained easily.

"That means I found the treasure."

Muttering to himself, Li Ye continued forward cautiously.

Judging from the monster's escape just now, it doesn't know any magic to pass through walls or escape underground, and it keeps running towards this side, which means there must be something here that can save it, maybe it's its nest.

If you can find its nest, you will naturally find traces of the resin mineral.

Li Ye moved forward slowly, killing dozens of fat ghosts one after another. Finally, he found a wax wall that had been gnawed away in a downward depression.

This wax wall is the raw stone of the tallow incense mine, which is connected to the surrounding stone walls and emits a cool and refreshing fragrance.

"So many, how much is this?" Li Ye's eyes lit up and he started mining without saying a word.

But the mining process was not very smooth. These things looked like wax, but they were very hard.

Even when Li Ye used his magic power to pick up the pickaxe to mine, he still felt a dull pain in his palm.

In the end... after so much effort, only about 60 kilograms of ore were mined, and the pickaxe had obvious cracks.

"...Is it really that difficult?"

"Forget it, let's go out first. It's been an hour. If we don't go out now, it will be troublesome if Senior Brother Rat sends someone to come."

He looked at the full wax wall reluctantly, and could only put the harvest into the storage bag, then left some marks along the way and left the mine.

After he left, the mine tunnel, which was plunged into darkness, suddenly rumbled.

It was as if some giant creature rolled over, completely burying the wax wall underground and replacing it with an ordinary stone wall.

Of course, the mark left by Li Ye completely disappeared in such a drastic change, and the mine tunnel returned to silence again.
