Chapter 27

Yifeng discovered the existence of a primordial stone at the end of a crack, and there was a high possibility that a primordial vein mine existed there.

This news stunned everyone present, filling them with wild joy, excitement, and boundless agitation. If a primordial vein mine really existed, it would mean they would have an incalculable amount of primordial stones for cultivation, and their cultivation levels would soar.

Yitian was the first to regain his composure.

First, he needed to confirm whether the primordial vein mine really existed; otherwise, it would just be a dream.

If it was confirmed that a primordial vein mine really existed, he needed to determine whether it was a small, medium, or large mine. The value of different sizes of primordial vein mines varied greatly.

Led by Yifeng, Yitian and the others crossed the long, narrow crack and finally arrived at its end.

This was a space of less than ten square meters. In this underground space, the stone walls were embedded with primordial stones, which had a jade-like luster and were very hard. The concentration of primordial energy in this small space was at least ten times that of the outside world.

When Yitian and the others entered this space, they felt refreshed and invigorated by the incredibly fresh air.

Yitian and the other five immediately started digging in this space with their weapons. Their powerful strength allowed them to break large chunks of rock, and they collected the primordial stones one by one.

They worked hard for half a day and dug out over a hundred primordial stones, which they piled into a small mound, making the space a bit larger.

However, when Yitian and the others used their true qi to inspect each primordial stone, they all turned to powder, and in the end, they found only one primordial stone among the hundred.

Fortunately, there was still one primordial stone, otherwise, their half-day of hard work would have been in vain.

This showed that their current position was still at the edge of the primordial vein mine, and they had not reached the place where the primordial stones were truly formed. Most of the stones were useless primordial stones.

"The primordial stones we dig out from this primordial vein mine will be divided equally among us. I'll take the first one, and the rest of the primordial stones will be distributed among you. What do you think?"

Yifeng and the others did not object.

Then, Yitian required them to keep the matter strictly confidential and not to leak the news.

Even to the tribe, they planned to keep it secret for a while, allowing them to obtain some primordial stones first. If they informed the tribe, with so many people, the news might leak out, bringing catastrophic disaster to them and the tribe. They intended to use the resources from the primordial vein mine to strengthen themselves before making it public.

When Yitian shared his thoughts with Yifeng, Yishan, and others, everyone agreed.

Even Yikuang and Yihong did not object.

Faced with this primordial vein mine, they could not be completely selfless. Once they told the tribe about the primordial vein mine, the amount of primordial stones they would get would probably not be as much as they imagined.

Of course, they would share the resources of the primordial vein mine with the tribe after they were well-fed.

Thus, in the days that followed, Yitian and the others continued to dig in the underground crack space hundreds of feet deep. Despite the hard work, it could not dampen their enthusiasm.

Block by block, primordial stones were dug out and then divided among Yifeng, Yishan, and others.

At the beginning, they only produced one or two primordial stones a day, but later, they produced four or five a day.

They spent most of their time digging in the primordial vein mine and used the remaining time to cultivate with the primordial stones. Even so, their cultivation speed was one to two times faster than usual.

Thus, Yitian and the others worked together, fully committed to mining the primordial vein mine.

Soon, a year passed.

Through frequent interactions, the misunderstandings between Yifeng, Yishan, and Yikuang, Yihong gradually disappeared. This small team was called the Reincarnation Team.

The name "Reincarnation Team" was Yitian's idea.

In his mind, his rebirth into this life was a cycle, and their team of six people perfectly matched the six realms of reincarnation from his previous life. Therefore, Yitian decided to name their team the Reincarnation Team.

After Yitian explained the meaning of the six realms of reincarnation, Yifeng and the others had no objections and even liked the powerful name of the Reincarnation Team.

Especially Yifeng and Yikuang, such a powerful name suited their personalities and preferences.

In this short year, the Reincarnation Team led by Yitian had made significant progress.

They dug out more than three thousand primordial stones from the primordial vein mine. With a large number of primordial stones, their cultivation levels advanced rapidly, each improving by one or two levels in just a year.

This cultivation speed was already astonishing.

They were mostly at the fourth or fifth level, and in a year, they broke through to the peak of the sixth level, just one step away from entering the ranks of high-level warriors, saving them at least a decade of hard cultivation.

Yifeng, Yishan, Yili, Yikuang, and Yihong all broke through to the peak of the sixth level. However, to break through to the seventh level, they needed a considerable amount of time to refine their dantian and purify their primordial energy.

As for Yitian, his cultivation level was actually lower than the others, only at the mid-sixth level.

After the fifth transformation of his dantian, his dantian space expanded more than ten times, allowing him to store more true qi than a seventh or eighth-level warrior. He consumed several times more primordial stones than the others. Moreover, his star mud avatar was also a major energy absorber, leaving him with no extra primordial stones.

As for the other five, each had a considerable number of primordial stones, at least three to four hundred, making them incredibly wealthy.

This made Yitian very regretful for choosing the equal distribution method.

"Captain, we have dug for ten miles, but we haven't reached the center of the primordial vein mine. It's likely not just a small or medium-sized mine, but a large one!"

Just as Yitian was feeling frustrated, Yikuang, who had returned from the primordial vein mine, said to Yitian with a serious expression.

"I know. A large primordial vein mine is like a hot potato. Once the news leaks, not only Jingmu County but probably the entire Tianfeng Empire and some sects will take action. For now, we can only take it one step at a time, trying to improve our strength as much as possible, and keep it secret for as long as we can."

Yitian and the others had anticipated this, but when they confirmed it was a large primordial vein mine, they felt an immense weight.

A small primordial vein mine is only a few miles or a dozen miles long, and when fully mined, it can produce tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of primordial stones. A medium-sized primordial vein mine is at least dozens of miles long and can produce hundreds of thousands or even millions of primordial stones.

As for a large primordial vein mine, the vein is at least hundreds of miles long, formed over at least hundreds of billions of years, and contains tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of primordial stones.

Moreover, in a large primordial vein mine, there are not only low-grade primordial stones but also medium-grade and high-grade primordial stones, and even extremely precious primordial crystals. In the center of a large primordial vein mine, there is a small chance of forming rare treasures of heaven and earth, which are invaluable.

A small primordial vein mine might not attract much attention from various forces, causing a stir only in Jingmu County. Outside Jingmu County, it would not cause much of a ripple.

Moreover, the major forces in Jingmu County would not allow forces from other counties to come in and divide the spoils.

However, a large primordial vein mine is not something a mere Jingmu County can handle. Even the Tianfeng Empire would find it difficult to monopolize it.

At that time, major sects, ten-thousand-year-old families, and other hidden forces would emerge.

In front of these forces, their six-person Reincarnation Team, or the Yi Clan, or even the entire Black Dragon City, would be like ants, easily crushed.

Yitian and the others were extremely cautious in keeping this secret, not daring to leak even a hint, bearing immense pressure.
