Chapter 98

Abnormally bright.

In the darkness, the silver-white glow stood out even more.

"Elemental crystal!" Ice Rose whispered.

"This is... a cadmium crystal, no." Stone Lion looked around in shock, his voice trembling, "It's a cadmium ore deposit."

A cadmium ore deposit!

When the Ice Lion Adventure Team first entered, they were distracted by the intense battle scene and did not notice, but now...

It was all in plain sight!

The crystals were everywhere, with variously shaped cadmium ore stones exposed, and cadmium crystals scattered around like gold coins on the ground, extremely eye-catching. Looking around...

Though not densely packed, they at least covered half of the basin.

How many cadmium crystals must there be?

"A large cadmium ore deposit," Lin Feng smiled.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, their breathing becoming rapid. A large ore deposit meant not only a wide range of ore but also cadmium crystals exceeding the 3rd tier. Compared to a medium-sized cadmium ore deposit, the price difference was a hundredfold. Even the most ordinary large cadmium ore deposit was worth at least...

Over 100,000 gold coins!

They were going to be rich!

"I'm referring to these outside." Lin Feng pointed, and everyone was a bit stunned. Lin Feng then pointed to the cave, smiling, "In the cave, I think there should be a 'Cadmium Core' as well. This... is most likely an ore vein."

An ore vein!

Everyone was stunned.

Ore veins are easy to find, but ore veins are hard to come by. This saying has long been circulating in the adventurer community.

How valuable is an ore vein?

Even the smallest ore vein is worth far more than a large ore deposit. A D-grade ore vein is valued at 100,000 gold coins, and a C-grade...

Is valued at a million gold coins.

Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

Except for one person, whose face twitched with a mix of joy and regret, a very complex emotion.

Flea, caught in a dilemma.

Start digging!

After sweeping the basin to confirm there were no more elemental beasts, the Ice Lion Adventure Team began the excavation.

The basin had three paths: one connected to a river, one to a mountain, and the other to a cliff path. The river couldn't be blocked, but the mountain path connected to the cave, and Stone Lion quickly sealed it with a large rock. As for the cliff path...

It was basically safe.

"Bang! Boom! Thud!" The bowl-shaped basin occasionally echoed with loud noises.

Except for Lin Feng, the rest of the Ice Lion Adventure Team had all transformed into 'miners,' even Xia Ling. Her pair of 1st-tier Yu-series light swords were used as shovels, a waste of talent, but it didn't matter; the value of the ore vein was... enormous.

Over a million!

"Ice Sister, I found a Cadmium Core!" Yue Meng's excited voice rang out.

"Haha, Lemon, you're so slow. I've already found three." Guangzi laughed, his voice echoing in the cave.

"Everyone, speed up!" Stone Lion's voice was joyful and urgent.

...

Six people were digging.

Only Lin Feng was in the capsule alloy house, meditating.

Soaked in gene liquid, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by a vortex of gene liquid. He pushed the third level of the Nine Dragon True Scripture to its limit. Last night's battle left him seriously injured, almost at the brink of death, not only depleting his spirit energy but also exhausting all the earth energy.

After entering the wilderness, Lin Feng's control over earth energy had improved significantly, but it was still completely drained, indicating the intensity of the battle.

There were two high-level beast kings and three elite elemental beast kings. This was why Lin Feng knew it was an ore vein. One or two might be a coincidence, but five, ten, twenty?

The presence of elite elemental beasts in large numbers was enough to prove everything.

"60% of the share, at least 600,000 gold coins, right?" Lin Feng smiled.

Taking the largest share of the team, this money would be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Battle Martial Venerable level without worrying about money. With enough money, he could do many things, like buying a high-grade elemental core for his sister, buying a villa, a battle car, and most importantly...

"Find out about my brother's information."

"What happened two years ago? Why did my brother go missing?"

"Is he... alive or dead now?"

Lin Feng's eyes were dark.

The absorption of earth energy, mixed with a hot energy, was absorbed by the Earth Soul, transforming into spirit energy.

The spirit energy then spread throughout his body, healing his injuries.

A perfect cycle was formed.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains.

"Whoosh!" A figure darted like a sword.

With a handsome face and a perfect physique, he wore an A-grade gene battle armor, exuding a heroic aura.

Yirenjie, the captain of the 7th Squad of the Dragon Slayer Divine Wind Team.

Behind him, his left and right hands, Shi Wulong and Zi Yu, followed, and then the remaining six members of the 7th Squad. Originally, twenty members entered the Qinling Mountains, but only half remained after the training, a brutal reality.

But this was the creed of Dragon Slayer Island.

"Master Jie, could the information be false?" Zi Yu hesitated.

"Is a mere six-star adventurer brave enough to lie to me?" Yirenjie smiled coldly.

"He is indeed quite foolish," Shi Wulong sneered, "Selling out his companions for a bit of money, only to accidentally find a large cadmium ore vein and then have no way back."

"Often, one wrong step... and the next fate is already sealed." Yirenjie's cold gaze swept over Zi Yu and Shi Wulong, his words carrying a deeper meaning. The two's expressions changed slightly, and they understood. Zi Yu said, "I will never forget Master Jie's cultivation."

"Captain's kindness, I would give my life to repay!" Shi Wulong also pledged.

Yirenjie smiled faintly and nodded.

"Let's go, we'll take over this cadmium ore vein."

"How much strength, how much money earned. A million gold coins... can a mere eight-star adventurer team handle it?"

"Forcing it will only lead to a violent death."

Bowl-shaped basin, capsule alloy house.

"My body has recovered quite well." Lin Feng exhaled lightly.

His injuries were not severe, mainly due to the severe exhaustion at the end.

After a period of rest, especially with the nourishment of spirit energy, he quickly returned to normal. This was nothing; the injuries from the battle with the wild black bear king were much worse, requiring a full day and night to recover. In comparison, this was just a minor injury.

"Let's rest for another hour or so." Lin Feng once again activated the third level of the Nine Dragon True Scripture.

The surging earth energy gathered, the hot energy flowing through his body's meridians, entering the dantian and being absorbed by the Earth Soul.

Again and again...

Time passed unnoticed.

His body also changed continuously during the cultivation.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

It brought Lin Feng a thrilling feeling. These three days of continuous cultivation, the absorption and expansion of the Earth Soul had reached its limit.

The limit of the second stage!

"Finally... about to transform?" Lin Feng felt a slight joy.

This was the expected surprise.
