"We're not here to talk, we're here to work!"

Gu Sheng scolded coldly.

After hearing what Gu Sheng said, Zhang Dabing and Old Li retreated reluctantly. After all, they were hundreds of meters underground.

If I really keep going through this here, I'd be wasting my life!
"Boss! There are so many crystals here!"

Suddenly, a miner shouted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly led everyone over.

The crystals here can only be described as "huge".

Because these crystals are so large, just a small candle flame can illuminate the entire space.

"Great!"

Gu Sheng nodded excitedly and ordered Old Li: "Old Li, take your men to start mining. If you encounter any abnormal ore crystals, report to me immediately. Remember, this No. 13 mine is quite strange, don't act on your own!"

"understand!"

Old Li responded and directly called on his miners to start mining.

Zhang Dabing was a straightforward person. When he saw that Gu Sheng arranged Old Li to be the leader, he felt more or less resentful.

So he stood there and didn't move.

"You are so brave, go too. I am worried that they might really dig something up, so go too!"

Gu Sheng ordered.

"I get mad when I see that old guy!"

Zhang Dabing said with disdain.

"Haha, Lao Li?"

Gu Sheng laughed.

Zhang nodded boldly.

"He's old, don't bother with him. Besides, we're just trying to make a living, why should we care about this?"

As he said this, Gu Sheng moved closer to Zhang Dabing and whispered, "When we settle the remuneration, I'll talk to the elders and see if I can give you two more hours. How do you think?"

"Really?"

Zhang Dabing looked excited.

"I'm not lying to you! But the prerequisite is that you must be brave and stabilize the situation!"

Gu Sheng looked serious.

"Brother Sheng, don't worry, I'm bold, nothing else but courage!"

Zhang Dabing patted his chest, and then went to mine crystals with Old Li.

After everyone left, Gu Sheng was the only one left in the cave.

Gu Sheng squatted down and took a look, and saw that there was a dragon pattern carved on the table that was overturned on the ground.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, and he felt that this Chi pattern was not an ordinary thing.

The mysterious power it contains may be able to unlock the secret of this cave.

Then, Gu Sheng carefully picked up the pen on the table and began to study the pattern of the Chi pattern carefully.

Soon, Gu Sheng discovered that this Chi pattern was not a simple decoration, but an ancient writing.

It’s just that due to its age, the words carved on it have been weathered and are difficult to see clearly.

Even if I can see some of it clearly, I feel like there is an invisible barrier blocking my thinking.

Gu Sheng gently brushed his fingers across the dragon pattern on the table.

Every line seems to contain a different kind of power.

At this moment, the power of words seems to be materialized...

Then, Gu Sheng closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to resonate with these ancient words.

Gradually, Gu Sheng's consciousness gradually merged with the power contained in the Chi pattern.

A vague map gradually became clear in his mind.

Entrance, crystal land, concentrate source...

This map seems to depict the underground structure of the entire mining area, with some special marking points that seem to indicate the location of the concentrate source.

"Yes! It's the location of the concentrate source!"

Gu Sheng was delighted and realized that he was in luck!
"Great!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, memorized the map firmly in his mind, and then quickly walked out of the cave.

He came to the busy miners who were sweating profusely as they mined crystals.

"Brothers, what's going on?"

Gu Sheng greeted the miners.

"Xiao Sheng, there are so many crystal stones here. If Elder Li Yuan knew about this, he would definitely be very happy."

Old Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly.

"Xiao Sheng, look!"

A miner shouted excitedly, "The crystals here are better than those we mined before!"

Gu Sheng stepped forward to take a look. The high-quality crystals that were originally only discovered sporadically were now being dug out continuously like a spring.

Cart after cart of crystals were transported out of the mine. The sheer quantity and high quality of the crystals shocked everyone.

Just like that, on the first day of work, we achieved huge results.

After a day's work, everyone returned to the ground.

After inventory, the output of Mine No. 13 far exceeded that of other mines, making it the most efficient mine in the entire mining area.

This news soon reached the ears of Elder Li Yuan.

He went to the mine in person and checked the results of the day's mining.

Elder Li Yuan showed a satisfied smile on his face and highly praised Gu Sheng's intelligence and leadership ability.

"Xiao Sheng, your performance today was outstanding and brought great wealth to our mining area. I thank you on behalf of the entire mining area."

Elder Li Yuan patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Sheng smiled modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder. All this is the result of the hard work of the miners. I just provided some guidance."

Elder Li Yuan nodded, turned to the miners, and said loudly: "I hope you will keep up the good work. Then, Yaoguang Holy Land will not let any of you down!"

When the miners who followed Gu Sheng heard this, all their fatigue disappeared instantly and they wished they could start working right away.

After everyone left, Gu Sheng also prepared to go back and rest.

But before Gu Sheng could enter the residence, he was stopped by Yao Qing.

"Gu Sheng!"

Yao Qing's voice was somewhat cold.

"what happened?"

Gu Sheng saw Yao Qing's cold and bold look and asked with a smile.

Then, Yao Qing pulled Gu Sheng aside.

At this time, Gu Sheng's supernatural power was sealed, and he was held by a cultivator like Yao Qing, so he couldn't break free.

Moreover, it hurts so much when I was pulled.

"Hey, hey, hey! Little beauty, you're hurting me."

Gu Sheng said somewhat speechlessly.

But Yao Qing acted as if she didn't hear it and continued to pull her until they reached a place where there was no one around and then let go.

Gu Sheng rubbed his arm which was pulled so hard that it hurt, and frowned.

He looked at Yao Qing with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"What are you doing? I'm not a criminal."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Gu Sheng's voice.

Yao Qing did not answer, but asked directly: "Gu Sheng, why did you choose Mine No. 13?"

Yao Qing's eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate Gu Sheng's soul.

Gu Sheng avoided her gaze and said vaguely: "Nothing... nothing, I just want to perform well."

"that is it?"

There was obvious suspicion in Yao Qing's voice.

"Correct."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"cut!"

Yao Qing rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng and asked again, "You really don't have any other purpose?"

"Ugh……"

Gu Sheng sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it from this shrewd woman. "Okay, I admit that I wanted to perform well and get more opportunities."

Yao Qing curled her lips, sighed and shook her head.

"Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng, don't think I'm so easy to fool."

Yao Qing's voice was filled with disdain, and then she said, "Do you want to get the concentrate source inside?"

"Ok?"

Gu Sheng looked at Yao Qing with some surprise. He didn't expect that she could guess his thoughts.

"how do you know?"

"Ha ha……"

Yao Qing smiled smugly, but quickly returned to her serious expression.

"I'm just guessing. But, Gu Sheng, I warn you, Mine No. 13 is very dangerous."

When the word "danger" was mentioned, Yao Qing's expression became serious.

Gu Sheng frowned, knowing that Yao Qing would not warn him for no reason.

"What do you know?"

Gu Sheng asked seriously.

Yao Qing was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Deep in the No. 13 mine, there is a powerful force surging. I once heard from the older generation of cultivators that an ancient existence is sealed there. If the seal is accidentally touched, it may cause a disaster, so..."

"So you want me to give up Mine No. 13?"

Gu Sheng spoke first.

"good."

Yao Qing nodded.

Gu Sheng stood there, and suddenly the scene before his wheel sea was sealed emerged in his mind.

He was free and easy back then, how could he be like now?
"Don't worry, Yao Qing, I will be careful."

Gu Sheng nodded seriously, unwilling to give up.

"you……"

Yao Qing was speechless.

"Yao Qing, if you want to help me, why don't you tell me what's inside, so that I can be more prepared."

Gu Sheng turned his head and asked.

"call……"

Yao Qing took a deep breath, worry revealed in her eyes.

She knew what this secret meant to Gu Sheng, but she still decided to tell the truth.

"Gu Sheng, listen to me. There are indeed ancient creatures in the No. 13 mine. No one knows what they look like, but we only know that they are very terrifying."

Yao Qing's voice was low and seemed to carry a sense of fear.

Gu Sheng's body stiffened instantly and he looked at Yao Qing in disbelief, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

"Ancient creatures? What does that mean?"

Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ancient creatures refer to those that existed at the beginning of the formation of organisms. They possess unknown powers. As for their specific appearance, no one knows because they have been dormant for tens of thousands of years, or even longer."

Yao Qing explained.

"Then why did you, Yaoguang Holy Land, choose this place to collect crystals?"

Gu Sheng asked casually.

"Because only the crystals near here are of very high quality, and the closer to the ancient creatures, the higher the quality of the crystals will be!"

Yao Qing pointed to a nearby location.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng was stunned.

These words were exactly the same as what Chi Wen had sensed in Mine Cave No. 13.

The closer the danger, the higher the quality of the crystal.

"Okay, I understand, Yao Qing, thank you for telling me this, but I will continue to stay in Mine Cave No. 13."

After saying that, Gu Sheng left without looking back.

"you……"

Yao Qing looked at Gu Sheng's leaving back and felt helpless.

The next day, Gu Sheng continued to lead the miners to mine in Mine No. 13.

Since Elder Li Yuan personally praised the performance of Mine No. 13, and with generous rewards, Gu Sheng's team has doubled to thirty people.

As long as you are obedient, Gu Sheng will accept any offer.

And just like that, half a month passed.

More and more crystals are coming out of Mine No. 13, and their quality is getting better and better.

The number of miners under Gu Sheng has almost reached more than two hundred.

However, Gu Sheng became more and more nervous and excited.

Because the improvement of quality is positively correlated with the risk.

The most important thing is that the concentrate source can help you restore your divine power!
After calculations, Gu Sheng felt that he could dig up the concentrate source today.

After making preparations, Gu Sheng called out, "Everyone, get to work! Go down to the mine!"

Following Gu Sheng's order, more than 200 people marched down to Mine No. 13.

Compared with before, Mine No. 13 has now expanded several times and is so spacious that it can almost accommodate a small mountain.

Soon, the miners began mining crystals as usual.

“Ding ding bang bang!”

The pickaxes and shovels in the miners' hands made crisp sounds as they struck the crystals.

"what!!!"

But with a cry of surprise, everyone's attention was drawn to the depths of the mine.

"Look! What is that?"

A miner pointed at a crystal in the corner, his voice turning into a chicken's.

The crystal was as big as a human head and had a smooth surface. It was not as hard as ordinary crystals, but instead had a soft texture.

What’s even more peculiar is that the surface of the crystal is flashing a bright red light, as if blood is flowing inside.

"Oh my god! Is this... is this alive?"

"No, it looks like a stone."

"No, no, no, this is definitely not an ordinary crystal!"

The other miners gathered around, confusion written all over their faces.

Zhang Dabing also came over.

He was a well-known daring man in the mine, but he couldn't help swallowing.

He put down the pickaxe in his hand and walked carefully towards the blood-red crystal.

"This...isn't this the legendary blood crystal?"

Zhang Dabing's voice trembled.

He stretched out his hand and gently picked up the crystal.

The blood crystal trembled slightly in Zhang Dabing's hand, and the red light became more dazzling.

The miners around retreated one after another, not daring to get close, for fear that this mysterious crystal would bring about some misfortune.

"Blood crystal, a crystal stone with powerful power in legend, can help practitioners break through bottlenecks and restore their divine power!"

Old Li said in a low voice.

Zhang Dabing hugged the blood crystal tightly, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

He knew that the value of this crystal was far greater than any crystal they had mined.

"This... this is our mine's luck!"

one miner shouted excitedly.

He seemed to have seen the day when he would become rich and powerful.

Gu Sheng stood aside, observing all this with sharp eyes.

He knew that the appearance of the blood crystal meant that his divine power would be restored!

"Everyone, don't panic. Protect this blood crystal first."

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, trying to act calmly.

"Yes! Listen to the foreman!"

The miners nodded one after another, knowing that Gu Sheng's decisions were always correct.

So, under Gu Sheng's command, several miners carefully moved the blood crystal to a safe place in the mine. (End of this chapter)
