Chapter 770 Carp God Explores the Copper Mine
Ye Kang did not hesitate. The mission in Lingyun Town was completed, and now he had to think about himself.
He can't let go of any opportunity to obtain rare and precious materials.
After telling Jiang Yi, Ye Kang went to Lingyun Mountain alone.
Jiang Yi naturally tried her best to stop him, but Ye Kang wouldn't listen. He believed that fortune favors the bold and that if he didn't take a chance, would he just wait for it to fall into his lap?
He immediately used the Six Void Steps to quickly infiltrate Lingyun Mountain.
Before coming, I had already discussed it with the hunters and learned about the situation in Lingyun Mountain.
The only word to describe this mountain is "precipitous," with sheer cliffs and precipices everywhere, and poisonous insects and ferocious beasts at every turn.
The so-called hunters were martial arts masters who trained spontaneously in the town to defend against the demons and ferocious beasts that came down from the mountain.
The depleted spirit copper mine is located in the middle of Lingyun Mountain, near the main peak ridge, flowing straight down into the valley.
The signs of mining are still very obvious, but the area has been abandoned.
Ye Kang flew to the site of the mine ruins but did not see the fox demon, presumably it was already beneath the mine.
No one knows why this mineral core is so hard to find; the fox demon searched for more than ten days but still couldn't find it.
Ye Kang concealed his presence and aura, found an open-air mine, and went straight inside.
The surrounding area had been completely mined out of spirit copper, overgrown with weeds and showing signs of wild animals. Ye Kang concealed himself in the darkness, and with the aid of the Boundless Azure Eyes, he could see everything clearly without needing any light.
Soon, a tuft of fox fur appeared before their eyes.
"This is interesting. The fox demon has been here before. It seems she hasn't been slacking off these past few days..."
Ye Kang's lips curled slightly. The path he had found wasn't exactly hidden, but it was extremely ordinary, given that open-pit mines were scattered all around.
But the fact that you can find traces of a fox demon in any of them is no coincidence.
This only shows that Hu Gang had exhausted all his resources and conducted a thorough search.
Thinking of this, Ye Kang felt much more at ease.
It's good that I didn't find it; it gives me a chance.
With a thought, he communicated with the Jade Realm and awakened the sleeping Carp God.
I'm not good at treasure hunting myself, so I can only rely on the Carp God.
Although she wasn't a lucky charm who specialized in treasure hunting, she was adept at avoiding misfortune and knew where good fortune lay, which naturally allowed her to identify where it was easier to find benefits.
The carp god appeared in the mine in a daze, with a blank and adorable expression.
There was a fork in the road ahead, and Ye Kang didn't say anything more, leaving it to the Carp God to choose for himself.
Only by not interfering can one fully utilize their ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
The carp god thought for a moment, then suddenly felt that the left side was better, and stepped over it as if possessed.
Ye Kang immediately followed and cupped his hands, saying, "I am very sorry to have disturbed the Carp God's sleep. I will have to rely on the Carp God for a long time."
The Carp Goddess, mimicking Ye Kang, returned the greeting with clasped hands: "The Carp Goddess says that Ye Kang can rely on the Carp Goddess."
"Thank you very much."
Ye Kang smiled slightly and said no more.
The two traveled smoothly through the mine tunnels, which had many forks in the road and no signs, making it impossible to tell which way was which.
The carp god was also dizzy and wandered around aimlessly, relying entirely on intuition.
Of course, this is the best way. If the Carp God really relied on intelligence and analysis to choose the way, Ye Kang would not dare to follow.
Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is a passive skill, not an active one.
As the two hurried toward the center of the frenzy, deep within the mine, a male and a female fox demon were sighing and lamenting.
The female demon was none other than Tu Shanmo, who had argued with Hu Wen. She said with a worried expression, "How could this be? Even our secret method can't find that thing. Could it be that Uncle's information was wrong, and there is no mineral core here at all?"
Tu Shanmo looked at the tall fox demon on her left.
The other person had a square face with an upright and righteous air, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, possessing both wildness and refinement.
It was Hu Gang, a genius of the fox clan, a leader of the younger generation, and the one who spearheaded this operation.
He already possesses the cultivation of the Nine Luminaries, and only needs to devour this mineral core to evolve his bloodline again and break through to the Nirvana Realm.
Hu Gang frowned and said coldly, "My great-uncle wouldn't lie to me. There's only one possibility: the mineral core has already developed some intelligence and is deliberately hiding from me."
"What should we do! Hu Wen and the others have been captured by Lingyun Town. If we can't find the ore core and lose men, wouldn't we be losing both our efforts and our lives?"
Hu Gang snorted coldly: "That good-for-nothing Hu Wen, we sent him to cause trouble for the human race and confuse the public, but he only went further and caused me trouble. It's good that he suffers a bit, because the human race certainly won't dare to kill him directly."
"I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen..."
“Mo’er, you are smarter and more composed than Hu Wen. When we get back, I will tell my great-uncle that this matter has nothing to do with you.”
"Thank you so much, Brother Gang!"
Tu Shanmo blushed and unconsciously moved closer to Hu Gang, pressing her head against his broad chest.
Feeling the other person's body temperature, Tu Shanmo felt extremely at ease.
Hu Gang, oblivious to the romantic gesture, pushed Tu Shanmo forward, saying, "Business is important; there's only one way now."
"any solution?"
"The fox clan has three natal fox hairs. As long as they are sacrificed, they can perform those forbidden secret techniques. I know of one secret technique called 'Gathering Gold for Wealth,' which can locate that damned mineral core."
"What! Brother Gang, calm down! Your natal fox fur is so precious; once used, it can't grow back!"
"It's alright. During Nirvana, the physical body is worn away, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes. At this time, not only can the poison and imperfections in the whole body be eliminated, but the fox fur can also be regenerated."
Hu Gang's eyes narrowed: "As long as it works, it's not a loss."
Tu Shanmo didn't say much, but just looked at Hu Gang with concern.
Without saying much, the latter immediately plucked a golden fox hair, then his face turned pale, as if his very essence had vanished.
This is the price of removing one's natal fox fur: for a period of time, one's aura leaks out, one's cultivation level decreases, and one is unable to exert full strength.
He sat cross-legged and immediately used the secret technique "Gathering Gold and Wealth".
This method is taboo. As you can tell from the name, it is easy to make people rich, but it goes against the natural order.
"Gathering gold" means collecting treasures and money from the surrounding area. What is the greatest treasure in this dead mine?
That is naturally the mineral core.
Sure enough, a faint, pale golden thread emerged, stretching out in one direction.
Hu Gang's eyes snapped open: "Found it! Come with me!"
The two demons immediately moved forward.
Meanwhile, Ye Kang had unwittingly wandered into an inconspicuous mine.
This is a puddle, filled with the stench of money, which is quite unpleasant.
Ye Kang stepped into the puddle, looking at the carp god in front of him, hopping and skipping, looking very cute.
The carp god didn't know where he was; he just felt that coming here seemed like a better place.
Just then, Wu Wang Qing Tong swept his gaze and suddenly noticed that at the bottom of the puddle, a golden stone inadvertently revealed a glimmer of spiritual light.
"Fuck!"
"We found it!?"
