CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 137: MINING THE ORE VEIN! (5TH UPDATE, ASKING FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS)

Everyone present knew what the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk was.

"Little sister, in the future, you and Changfeng have hope for Foundation Establishment."

In high spirits, Lu Yuanshan opened one of the spirit medicine boxes, revealing the milky white spiritual milk inside.

Instantly, a pure and dense Life Origin Spiritual Qi spread from the spirit medicine box, making the three people present take a deep breath.

"For us to obtain such a spiritual treasure is cause for celebration, achieving a smooth takeover of this Fire Source Stone Vein and gaining these Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk was indeed a pleasant surprise!"

"Indeed, with this Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, I think that even if I don’t take a Foundation Establishment Pill, I can still try to break through to Foundation Establishment."

"A two-tenths chance at Foundation Establishment is still worth a try."

Lu Changfeng laughed heartily, his gaze fixed on the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk.

If it weren’t for his cultivation being insufficient and still needing more polishing, he would have returned and attempted Foundation Establishment right away.

With just a twenty percent chance at Foundation Establishment, shouldn’t you just be patient and wait for a Foundation Establishment Pill?

Hearing Lu Changfeng’s words, Lu Ping’s face darkened, almost wanting to slap the back of Lu Changfeng’s head.

This second son’s rash nature, when will he ever change?

"Not wise, second brother."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuanshan shook his head.

"A twenty percent chance at Foundation Establishment is still a bit low. Currently, I am here in the sect, and I will find a way for you and little sister to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill. Then, combining it with this Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, it will be most secure."

"Second brother, you truly can’t rush things."

On the side, Zhiwei chimed in, saying, "Your nature is too impatient; you need to hold on a little longer."

"In the mountains, there is still a Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree that hasn’t been taken. Once successfully transplanted back to the sect, it will at least serve as a primary ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. In the future, we can try to gather the materials ourselves and produce our own Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Hahaha, I was just saying it casually."

Being told this way, and it being quite reasonable, Lu Changfeng laughed heartily and did not insist anymore.

"Alright, matters concerning Foundation Establishment will be discussed later."

Seeing that both his eldest son and youngest daughter thought Lu Changfeng’s idea for Foundation Establishment was unwise and too hasty, Lu Ping did not want to speak any more about this subject.

"First, take over the ore vein, and then people can be sent to mine it."

Actually, Lu Ping’s thoughts had already turned towards the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree.

The comparison of strength between the Stone Mother and the Purple-eyed Demon Ape, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape was a bit tricky due to its agility and wasn’t easy to deal with.

This time, attacking the Stone Mother was partly to let Lu Yuanshan practice first.

"That Purple-eyed Demon Ape must also be dealt with quickly."

Lu Ping turned his gaze to Lu Yuanshan.

"Yuanshan, the Purple Extreme Escape Light technique I passed to you some time ago, how have you been with your cultivation?"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Is it a bit difficult?"

Seeing this situation, it seemed like he hadn’t mastered it.

When dealing with the Stone Mother earlier, he didn’t see Lu Yuanshan use this body technique.

"The Purple Extreme Escape Light is something I’m still cultivating, and it will likely take some time before I can master it."

"Father’s intention is to wait until I’ve mastered this body technique before taking on the Purple-eyed Demon Ape?"

The entrance to Purple Extreme Escape Light is indeed quite difficult. Lu Yuanshan had been cultivating recently but had not yet grasped the entry secrets, needing one or two more months for thorough understanding and exploration.

"It’s just for more assurance, in case the fight doesn’t go well, you can escape using this technique."

Lu Ping, without beating around the bush, directly expressed this thought.

With this said, Lu Yuanshan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Father is still so prudent; this approach is indeed unassailable, no faults to pick at, and there isn’t much to add on.

So, he asked, "How about waiting until I have mastered the first layer of the Purple Extreme Escape Light, and then we can take action once this body technique is in place?"

Seeing how cautious Lu Ping was, asking about the cultivation technique, Lu Yuanshan also felt somewhat nervous since the Purple-eyed Demon Ape was stronger than the Stone Mother.

Having just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage for less than a month, if he couldn’t defeat it...

The only Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the sect would be gone!

"Then practice more; let’s wait for the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree for now."

Sensing Lu Yuanshan’s unease, Lu Ping simply didn’t rush, realizing waiting a bit longer was possible.

It’s a good time to send people to the Cyan Mountain Range to start mining the Fire Source Stone Vein.

After this discussion, the three reached a consensus, hoping to be more cautious and avoid blindly taking risks concerning the Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree.

Having obtained the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, the urgency to cultivate a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator for the sect grew even stronger.

...

Back at Cyan Lotus Mountain, Lu Yuanshan convened a disciples’ meeting to inform them about the sect securing a Fire Source Stone Vein.

Upon learning the sect acquired an ore vein, Song Minghui and others were immensely excited.

In these years, seeing the sect improve more and more, with cultivation resources becoming increasingly abundant, such as Spiritual Peaches, Qi Cultivation Pills, and Crescent Pills, they felt extremely satisfied.

Compared to when the Cyan Mountain Sect was impoverished and couldn’t even pay salaries, the change now is nothing short of a world’s difference.

Presently, with the sect acquiring a Fire Source Stone Vein, future cultivation resources will include Fire Source Stones as well.

Especially for disciples with Fire Attribute Main Spirit Roots, they well understand the benefits Fire Source Stones bring to their cultivation and are itching to use Fire Source Stones for cultivation.

Simultaneously, selling Fire Source Stones externally could lead to economic prosperity for the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Having arranged staff for the ore vein, Lin Han and Zhao Ziliang are stationed permanently at the vein, preparing it for mining operation.

Regarding manpower, the Cyan Mountain Sect’s disciples will not extensively participate in the mining of minerals but will recruit local commoners as the labor force.

People from Guangde County, Pingyuan County, Tide Sound Town, and similar places are within the recruitment scope.

As compensation, the Cyan Mountain Sect will disburse gold and silver commonly used in the secular world, along with a small portion of Fire Source Stones as wages.

The benefits are good; thus, many commoners have responded to the recruitment, and in just eight or nine days, the manpower needed for mining is assembled.

With that, the Fire Source Stone Vein enters the mining phase.

Time flies as the Fire Source Stone Vein yields some Fire Source Stones daily, and there is movement within Lu Yuanshan’s Cave Mansion.

Since returning from the Cyan Mountain Range, he had been in secluded cultivation for over two months, finally mastering the first layer of the Purple Extreme Escape Light.

With this body’s technique speed, battling the Purple-eyed Demon Ape would be possible, providing him with the ability to fight back effectively and ensuring self-protection.

After informing Lu Ping of his cultivation results, Lu Ping issued an order, guiding Lu Yuanshan, Zhiwei, and Lu Changfeng to set off once again.

This time, Lu Ping embarked alongside the three directly.
