Chapter 864: A Hundred Years of Struggle

Gu Zhenhao and Gu Minghui looked at each other, and both smiled awkwardly.

Lin Mu's face immediately showed disappointment.

He had been searching for the blue star jade, suffered a lot, and suffered a lot of difficulties, but he still didn't buy it.

When he met Gu Minghui, he thought that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and he would see the moon after waiting for the clouds to clear, but who knew that there was still darkness in front of him!

He was so happy for nothing.

What is going on!

"I didn't expect that you needed blue star jade." Gu Minghui explained hurriedly, "Our Gu family is just an ordinary mine owner in this Tianjing mine vein. Now the two main mine veins are Qinglan mine vein, which produces Qinglan jade, and the other is a small purple spirit mine vein, which produces purple spirit jade. We don't have blue star jade now."

Lin Mu was extremely depressed.

He used the purple spirit jade to make purple spirit jade slips for the master of Feixian Palace. Considering the long-term, he naturally couldn't mix them up and use the purple spirit jade to make life-saving jade slips casually.

"It's okay, I was too anxious." Lin Mu forced a smile, "If you have any news about the Blue Star Jade in the future, please let me know in the Piaomiao Fairyland, and I will definitely reward you handsomely. It's getting late, and I can't bother you anymore. Goodbye!"

Lin Mu clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and walked out of the cave, his figure lonely.

"Please stay!" Gu Zhenhao hurriedly called out to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu stopped and turned around.

"Don't be discouraged!" Gu Zhenhao looked at Lin Mu and advised, "After all, our Gu family came from mining, and we are very familiar with all kinds of jade slips. Even if we don't have Blue Star Jade now, we can exchange it with the Purple Spirit Jade in our hands."

"Really?" Lin Mu turned from sadness to joy.

"Really!" Gu Zhenhao smiled and nodded, "This is an opportunity to get rich overnight and rise rapidly. Since I have come across it, I will never let you go."

He didn't mean to hide his thoughts when he met a genius like Lin Mu.

The more open-hearted you are, the faster you can become friends.

This is actually a method, but it is just too clever and not something that everyone can do.

A wise person will do what is most beneficial to himself.

"If I exchange the purple jade for the blue star jade, will it be troublesome?" Lin Mu worriedly said, "Can I get a lot of blue star jade?"

"That's hard to say." Gu Zhenhao said, "Whether others are willing to exchange, how much they can exchange, the initiative is not in our hands."

"I can understand this." Lin Mu nodded, "But you also know that the blue star jade slip will be popular in the entire cultivation world in the future. Not to mention thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, I'm afraid it's far from enough!"

"One blue star jade slip costs 10 million spirit stones. If it can be sold for tens of millions, how many spirit stones can it earn?" Gu Minghui couldn't help but say with stars in his eyes.

Gu Zhenhao was unable to remain calm. After a moment's hesitation, he immediately asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"To be honest, I'm not in a hurry, but I have to buy thousands of them now." Lin Mu said truthfully.

"Thousands of jade slips are not a small number. Blue Star Jade is a rare jade slip after all. A medium-sized Blue Star mine only produces about 20,000 Blue Star Jade a year." Gu Zhenhao pondered, "I will find a way to get you thousands of them as soon as possible. You use them first, and it will be easy later."

"Do you have any trump cards left?" Lin Mu asked curiously.

"I don't have any trump cards, but I will try my best to fight for a Blue Star mine." Gu Zhenhao said firmly.

"Fight for the Blue Star Mineral Vein?" Lin Mu was surprised when he heard this. "Mineral veins can still be fought for, but can they be robbed openly?"

"It's definitely not okay to rob openly." Gu Zhenhao said, "We, the mine owners, are all involved with each other. If someone wants to deal with us, we will attack him in groups and make him pay a heavy price!"

"But at the same time, we are also fighting, but it's all put on the surface. According to our respective strengths, the stronger ones can get more." Gu Zhenhao explained, "In our Jinxiu world, there is a mineral vein alliance. Every hundred years, a mineral vein competition conference is held. As long as the mine owner owns a mineral vein, he must participate in the mineral vein competition conference. At that time, according to their respective rankings, the higher ranked ones can own many mineral veins and can choose the mineral veins they want."

"Those with low rankings can only own two or fewer mineral veins. The fifty mine owners ranked at the bottom will have nothing. Their own mineral veins will be collected and distributed to those with high rankings." Gu Zhenhao smiled at Lin Mu.

"So there is such a thing!" Lin Mu said in surprise, "I have never heard of it before."

"With my strength, I will definitely not be in the bottom 50. This time I will try my best to fight for one or two Blue Star veins as much as possible." Gu Zhenhao said his plan.

"Only when you are in the top ten can you choose the veins you want." Gu Minghui said worriedly, "Dad, you are indeed strong, but you don't have much hope of being in the top ten. In my opinion, forget it. We just need to keep the current veins. If possible, we can replace the current Ziling veins with Blue Star veins, which will be a great blessing."

"Sometimes, you can't be at ease just because you want to be at ease." Gu Zhenhao said helplessly, "In the mineral vein competition, before going on the field to compete, you have to sign a life and death contract. Life and death are determined by fate. After the competition is over, even if you die, relatives and friends cannot seek revenge on each other."

"Like our Gu family, it has always been standing firm. It is indeed an evergreen tree, but it also shows that our ancestors have killed countless opponents or been killed by opponents in the past thousands of years." Gu Zhenhao said, "Families like ours all make a living with jade slips, and they all have deep hatred for each other. Once they are on the stage, they will fight to the death. How can there be luck?"

Once on the stage, you can't help yourself.

"I was very worried before. If I died, what would happen to you two brothers and sisters?" Gu Zhenhao smiled. "Now, with the Blue Star Jade Slip, I am immortal. I have one less worry in my heart. Why not fight with them?"

Gu Zhenhao turned to Lin Mu and said, "Don't worry. The Mineral Vein Competition will start in half a month. I will definitely help you get back a Blue Star Mineral Vein."

Lin Mu was not happy when he heard it.

Gu Zhenhao is just an early stage cultivator of the fusion. How can he be in the top ten in the Mineral Vein Competition?

After all, this is not the four mineral veins around Wanghua City, but the conference attended by all the mine owners in the entire Jinxiu world!

Before the competition, you have to sign a life and death contract. After you die, your relatives and friends cannot seek revenge on each other.

In this way, if the other party wants to take revenge, they can only wait for the next mineral vein competition and take revenge on the stage.

In this case, the Mineral Vein Competition Conference can be regarded as a revenge conference. The mine owners will definitely not show any mercy when they take action. They will show all their trump cards and vow to win.

At that time, life and death are unpredictable.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Mu said: "I wonder if I can participate in such a competition on your behalf?"

Although his cultivation is only in the Return to Void Stage, his true strength is much stronger than that of ordinary Fusion Stage cultivators. He is more confident in participating in the Mineral Vein Competition Conference.

"No!" Gu Zhenhao was shocked when he heard the words, and then he shook his head hurriedly, "This is a life-and-death fight, how can it be a joke? You have a bright future, there is no need to take this risk. What's more, only mine owners can participate in this mineral vein competition conference, and others cannot go on the expedition instead."

"Aren't there many Return to Void Stage cultivators among the mine owners?" Lin Mu smiled, "I don't say that I can be in the top ten, but at least I can get a good ranking. I believe you should know that I have already comprehended the Sword Domain. Between you and me, I don't need to hide my shortcomings. My Boundless Killing Domain has been cultivated to the late stage of the Sword Domain!"

Gu Zhenhao was shocked: "Your strength is so strong, I have never heard of it, I am afraid that even I am not your opponent."

"However, other mine owners are not as bad as you think. The mine owners you have seen before are not real mine owners." Gu Zhenhao said, "Those who can own a mine vein are basically in the Fusion Stage. The ones you have seen before are the children and grandchildren of these Fusion Stage cultivators. These Fusion Stage cultivators are busy with cultivation on weekdays, so how can they care about the mine veins."

"Are these mine owners all Fusion Stage cultivators?" Lin Mu was surprised again.

"Think about it, a medium-sized blue star mine can produce 20,000 blue star jades every year. We sell them to shops at a price of 150,000 spirit stones each. In this way, we can earn 3 billion spirit stones a year." Gu Zhenhao said, "After a hundred years, it will be 300 billion spirit stones. Although there are many expenses in mining and delivering spirit stones, the profit is absolutely amazing!"

"Even the smallest blue star mine produces 2,000 blue star jades a year. After a hundred years, it can also harvest 30 billion spirit stones. How many cultivators in the Return to Void Stage are qualified to have such a huge wealth?" Gu Zhenhao looked at Lin Mu and said, "Even if they are lucky enough to have it, they will still lose the mine in their hands after a hundred years when the mine competition conference is held."

"It turns out that jade slips are so profitable!" Lin Mu was more and more surprised.

He thought that he was very profitable by selling the jade slips, but he didn't expect that these mine owners were the real local tyrants!

A mine can earn hundreds of billions of spirit stones in a hundred years!

It's really terrifying!

"It's not the jade slips that make money." Gu Minghui interrupted, "In fact, there are only a few jade slip veins, and rare veins are even rarer. Most veins produce spirit stones. Ordinary spirit stone veins are also profitable, but not as much as rare jade slip veins."

Lin Mu understood.

In this way, the Gu family owns an ordinary Qinglan vein and a small Ziling vein, and the annual income is also billions of spirit stones.

Before, he just wanted to participate in the vein competition meeting out of enthusiasm.

Now, after knowing the huge profits here, with his determination, he can't help it.

He wants to develop his own power and needs a large amount of spirit stones.

If he can own his own veins, he will not only not worry about spirit stones, but also jade slips. At that time, he will not need to run around like now, and be repeatedly kicked out.

After all, it is not as convenient and free as buying others'.

"Is it possible for me to participate in this mineral vein competition?" Lin Mu looked at Gu Zhenhao and asked eagerly.

"Then you must first have a mineral vein of your own!" Gu Zhenhao said directly, "To put it bluntly, this mineral vein competition is actually a gamble. Your own mineral vein is the bet. How much profit you can get depends on your ability."

Own your own mineral vein?

Hearing this, Lin Mu had an idea and couldn't help but smile: "Don't you have two mineral veins? Why don't you lend me one and put it in my name? After I participate in the mineral vein competition, I will return you a rare mineral vein. How about it?"

"Dad, I think this is possible!" Gu Minghui looked at Gu Zhenhao and said excitedly, "You two are very strong. If two people go to participate in the mineral vein competition, the harvest will definitely be richer than one person!"

"Is this okay?" Gu Zhenhao still couldn't make up his mind.

"I want to try!" Lin Mu said with a firm face and full of confidence.
