Chapter 28

The large primordial vein mine brought both joy and worry to Yi Tian and his companions.

With the help of a large amount of primordial stones, Yi Tian and his companions' strength was clearly improving every day.

However, if the news of this large primordial vein mine were to leak out, they would have no place to bury their bodies.

A year passed, and the six of them spent most of their time mining, but they only obtained a few thousand low-grade primordial stones. Compared to the reserves of this large primordial vein mine, it was like a drop of water in the ocean.

The area they mined was less than one ten-thousandth of the primordial vein mine.

After a discussion, they decided to inform the tribal elders about the large primordial vein mine.

After all, their mining speed was too slow.

If the tribe's power were to join in, the number of primordial stones produced each day would be substantial. With their contributions, even if they only got one-tenth of the share, it would still be a considerable amount, much more than working hard as miners.

Once the large primordial vein mine was mined by the tribe, they would not lack primordial stones. Why not do it?

Thus, Yi Tian and his companions shamelessly prepared to throw this huge burden to the tribal chief and the elders, letting them deal with the headache, as long as they did not miss out on their share.

On that day, when the tribal chief Yi Du, the chief leader Yi Ke, and others learned this shocking news from Yi Kuang and Yi Hong, they were almost paralyzed with shock.

After confirming it several times, they gathered all the elders in the ancestral temple for a secret discussion.

Soon after, the chief leader Yi Ke, the deputy leader Yi Zhen, and others came to the Peach Source Valley with Yi Hong and Yi Kuang. The height of several hundred feet was a great challenge even for these two high-ranking warriors. In the past, they could only slowly descend using weapons, but now they had practiced the Feather Flight Technique and could easily reach the bottom of the valley.

When they entered the long crack and the tunnel that had been dug for several miles, they were speechless.

These few young men had clearly been mining for some time and were not honest, having concealed the large primordial vein mine.

Yi Ke and Yi Zhen entered the mine and saw the walls embedded with primordial stones, the primordial energy being nearly ten times more concentrated than outside. They were pleasantly surprised.

Boom!

Yi Ke punched a hole in the mountain in front of the mine, causing countless rocks to fall. He found more than twenty raw stones from the pile, and after inspection, almost all of them were primordial stones.

After all, this was already the outer area of the primordial vein mine, where the low-grade primordial stone veins were located.

Yi Zhen also dug out more than ten primordial stones, his face filled with excitement.

This was indeed a primordial vein mine. They had dug for several miles without reaching the center of the vein, which undoubtedly made it a large primordial vein.

Even if it were a small primordial vein, the amount of primordial stones that could be mined would be at least tens of thousands, enough to make their tribe the wealthiest force near Black Dragon City.

The chief leader Yi Ke called Yi Tian, Yi Hong, and others to one side, instructing them to keep the secret and not to leak it to anyone else. Then, he and the deputy leader Yi Zhen left the valley and returned to the tribe to report the situation to the tribal chief and the elders.

At the tribal ancestral temple.

The tribal chief Yi Du, the senior elder, the second elder, and others were all restless, anxiously waiting for news.

When Yi Ke and the others returned and confirmed the existence of the primordial vein, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Yi Ke and the others, the primordial vein was likely a medium to large vein, bringing both joy and worry to the tribal chief and the tribal elders.

Once they possessed this primordial vein, the Yi tribe would quickly become the strongest force near Black Dragon City, and the entire tribe would experience a significant leap forward.

Perhaps, the Yi tribe would rise again.

However, what worried them greatly was that this large primordial vein was too conspicuous. If other forces learned about it, their entire Yi tribe might become cannon fodder.

However, after a short discussion, the tribal elders reached a consensus.

For them, they would not give up this primordial vein under any circumstances. This was their greatest opportunity, and the Yi tribe would experience a tremendous leap forward. Missing this chance would be a lifelong regret.

As warriors and descendants of Divine Archer, they would not be intimidated by unknown dangers.

The tribal chief and the elders decided to keep the secret strictly.

At the same time, they ordered the chief leader to secretly strengthen the tribe's vigilance to prevent other forces from appearing nearby.

The achievements of Yi Tian's reincarnation squad were enormous. Yi Tian returned and began negotiating with the tribal chief and the elders, demanding a thirty percent share.

Of course, the tribal chief and the elders did not agree.

A negotiation ensued, and after a long discussion, Yi Tian finally secured a ten percent share for his reincarnation squad.

This was only after Yi Tian slammed the table and even revealed his true strength to intimidate them that the tribal elders agreed to give up a ten percent share as a reward for his reincarnation squad.

Yi Tian was confident that he could fight against any of the elders.

Especially, his Pure Yang True Qi was extremely condensed, almost on par with a ninth-rank warrior's True Qi, making the tribal chief and the elders value him even more.

Perhaps, Yi Tian could lead the Yi tribe to glory in the future.

Because of this, the old men of the tribe had high expectations for Yi Tian and rewarded his reincarnation squad with a ten percent share.

On that day, the chief leader Yi Ke inspected all the warriors of the tribe and selected over a hundred, secretly gathering them and announcing that the tribe would undertake a long-term mission, at least two years.

Thus, these hundred warriors returned home to bid farewell to their families.

A few days later, they set out under the leadership of Yi Zhen and arrived at the Peach Source Valley.

It was only then that these warriors learned their goal was to mine the primordial vein.

Yi Zhen then said, "During this period, you are not allowed to leave. You can take turns mining, and the rest of the time, you can freely use the primordial stones to cultivate and become stronger as quickly as possible!"

When the tribal warriors heard this news, they were all pleasantly surprised.

They could freely use the primordial stones, which would greatly enhance their cultivation, and some might even become high-ranking warriors one day.

Many of them, due to limited resources, had to practice hard, and their cultivation progressed slowly. Most were only mid to low-ranking warriors, with little hope of a significant breakthrough in their lifetimes. Now, with this opportunity, they were all breathing heavily with excitement.

The hundred tribal warriors were permanently stationed in the Peach Source Valley, strictly forbidden from leaving.

Yi Tian and his reincarnation squad were also forced to leave. They often came and went, and if they were followed by someone with ill intentions, it could lead to exposure.

Therefore, Yi Tian and his companions were forced to abandon that base.

At the same time, significant changes were quietly taking place in the tribe.

The tribal chief, the elders, and others were almost nowhere to be seen, rarely appearing, all in seclusion to cultivate, hoping to reach the legendary Human Rank and become powerful figures.

The tribe also began distributing primordial stones to the warriors and strictly ordered them to keep it a secret.

Due to the existence of the large primordial vein, the Yi tribe was tight internally but relaxed externally.

Several months passed.

Yi Tian finally had a significant number of primordial stones in his possession.

His Pure Yang Technique absorbed primordial energy at an alarming rate, consuming three low-grade primordial stones a day, with most of the primordial energy being absorbed by the Star Mud.

If they relied on the few members of his reincarnation squad to mine, the number of primordial stones they could produce in a day would not be enough for his cultivation, naturally slowing down his progress.

Now, with over a hundred tribal members mining day and night, they sent back tens of thousands of primordial stones each month. He received several thousand primordial stones each month, and even if he absorbed them all, the number of primordial stones in his possession gradually increased.

At the same time, his cultivation progressed rapidly.

In just a few months, his cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth rank, consuming several thousand primordial stones.

This was a considerable amount even for a large force.

With a significant number of primordial stones in his possession, Yi Tian had the idea of entering Black Dragon City.

The blood-patterned bow left by his father was no longer of much use to him. This time, he planned to buy a true divine bow to unleash his full potential.
