Chapter 638: Back to Business
Of course, it wasnt actually gold, but a Spirit Stone Lode. There was a very high chance of finding such a lode near any Spirit Vein, but there was always that chance that it would be too deep in the earth, or it had already been unearthed in the past. Fortunately, they ran into no such complications. Instead, the issue was far easier to solve. The Spirit Stone Lode was located in the area of the poison miasma, a few hundred feet under the surface.
It was basically impossible to reach in the past. Despite how it looked, the poison miasma was not a gas. It was a sort of energy and that energy was not limited to only the surface. The miasma actually created a full sphere of coverage around Icefire Valley, and even those attempting to tunnel under the ground would be faced with the vicious poison seeping into their bodies.
With this new discovery, Sage decided to carefully modify the formations that distributed the poisonous miasma. With some very delicate calculations he shifted the center of the poisonous miasma formation so that it excluded the Spirit Stone Lode. He would have liked to move it further to provide a bigger safe zone, but he could only move it until Duo Tans burial chamber was at the edge of the poisonous area. As the source of the miasma, it had to remain within the affected zone. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
It wasnt a perfect solution as half of the lode was still in the area affected by the miasma, but it created enough of a safe area for a proper defensive structure to be created and also to allow for safe living areas for miners. On the downside, it meant the miners would have to constantly consume antidotes in order to reach the later half of the mine, but that wouldnt become a problem for a decade. Mining was a delicate operation, especially Spirit Stones. They were filled with energy and if improperly handled they could shatter and release their energy. If the walls suddenly collapsed it was highly likely for whole tunnels to shatter. Not only might many lose their lives, but valuable Spirit Stones would be lost in the process. More valuable than gold, yet as fragile as glass.
Because of the delicacy of the operation, it was usually left to weaker individuals. Powerful Cultivators wouldnt want to waste years of time slowly and carefully mining Spirit Stones. Only those with powers perfectly suited to such activities would waste their time on such an activity. Sage could think of a few ways to expedite such mining, but it was far simpler to just leave it all up to the Mount Song Sword Sect. He was already getting a cut of the proceeds, so why waste any more effort?
Wan Ling began the discussion with a direct declaration of the issue at hand. She smiled softly at all those gathered, letting her gaze move from one person to the next until shed given everyone a chance to be seen, We are all a part of these three groups to some extent, but it is time to create clear distinctions. As we saw last time, there are those who go to greath lengths to harm Lang Sheng. As those close to him, if we do not establish any clear boundaries, we will also become targets. There are many innocent workers and children who should not be thrust into such danger needlessly.
There was an immediate clamor in the room. Jiyao, Tujiu and Baozhai being the loudest as they started cursing up a storm, We are no cowards! We would never abandon our friends, let alone our family!
Sage stepped in and raised his hand, Its alright, please calm down. Wan Ling isnt speaking out of turn. I asked her to lead this discussion. Please dont misunderstand, without your help when I was in need, I would certainly be dead right now.
He put his hand on Jiyao and Baozhais shoulders as the two feisty half-siblings were ready to speak out again, Its okay. Youve done enough. From here on out, it's going to be even more dangerous than it was in the past. I know if I asked you, you would go into secluded training for a thousand years to fight by my side, but I cant ask you to do that. If you wish to get strong, I wont stop you, in fact Ill help you. I just wont let you do it for me. King was my friend, and I need you all to fulfill his dream. His dream of a great and flourishing clan. He wanted his offspring to fill the skies. Im counting on you all to make that dream come true.
Wan Ling nodded, I will be the official representative of the Prosperity Company. Lang Sheng represents the Lang Clan, and Ruanfu shall speak for the Tiankong Clan.
Many of the younger ones in the Tiankong Clan blinked and then shot their eyes to Ruanfu. The woman in question clenched her fist. Her knuckles created an audible cracking sound and she flipped her snowy white hair back over her shoulder, Fine. I suppose you wish for there to be no formal ties between the Tiankong and Lang Clan?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
