Chapter 459 Blood Crystal

"We're not here to talk, we're here to work!"

Gu Sheng scolded coldly.

After Zhang DaDa and Lao Li Tou heard Gu Sheng's words, they reluctantly backed away. After all, they were hundreds of meters underground.

If you really mess around here, you will really live a long life!

"Boss! There are so many crystals here!"

Suddenly, a miner shouted.

When Gu Sheng heard this, he rushed over with everyone.

I saw that the crystal stones here can be described by the word "huge amount".

Because these crystals are so large, just a small candle can illuminate the entire space.

"Very good!"

Gu Sheng nodded excitedly and ordered to Old Li: "Old Li, you lead the people to start mining. If you encounter abnormal ore crystals, report to me immediately. Remember, this No. 13 mine is quite evil, don't make it your own fault." Claim!”

"clear!"

Lao Li responded and directly called his miners to start mining.

Zhang DaDa was an upright person, and when he saw that Gu Sheng had arranged for Lao Li Tou to be the leader, he felt somewhat dissatisfied.

So he stood there and didn't make any move.

"Be brave, you go too, I'm worried they might dig something, so you go too!"

Gu Sheng ordered.

"I get angry when I see that old guy!"

Zhang boldly said with disdain.

"Haha, Lao Li?"

Gu Sheng laughed.

Zhang nodded boldly.

"He is older. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Besides, we are here to make a living, so why should we care about this?"

Having said this, Gu Sheng moved towards Zhang DaDa and said in a low voice: "When the payment is settled, I'll talk to the elder and see if I can give you two more credits. How about that?"

"real?"

Zhang boldly looked excited.

"I'm not lying to you! But only if you give me the courage to stabilize the situation!"

Gu Sheng looked solemn.

"Brother Sheng, don't worry, I am bold and there is nothing else but courage!"

Zhang boldly patted his chest, and then went to mine spar with Lao Li Tou.

After everyone left, only Gu Sheng stayed in the cave.

Gu Sheng knelt down and took a look, only to see this chi pattern carved on the table that had overturned on the ground.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, and he felt that this chi pattern was not an ordinary thing.

The mysterious power it contains may be able to unlock the secrets of this cave.

Then, Gu Sheng carefully picked up the pen on the table and began to study the pattern of the chi pattern carefully.

Soon, Gu Sheng discovered that the chi pattern was not a simple decoration, but an ancient writing.

Just because of the age, the words engraved on it are also weathered and difficult to read clearly.

Even if I can see clearly, I still feel like there is an invisible barrier blocking my thoughts.

Gu Sheng gently brushed the chi pattern on the table with his fingers.

Every line seems to contain a different kind of power.

At this moment, the power of words seems to be embodied...

Then, Gu Sheng closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to resonate with these ancient words.

Gradually, Gu Sheng's consciousness gradually merged with the power contained in the Chi pattern.

A vague map gradually became clear in his mind.

Entrance, spar land, concentrate source...

This map seems to depict the underground structure of the entire mining area, with some special markings indicating the location of the concentrate source.

"Not bad! It's the location of the concentrate source!"

Gu Sheng was overjoyed and realized that he was going to have bad luck!

"Very good!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, kept the map in his heart, and quickly walked out of the cave.

He came to the busy miners, who were sweating profusely mining crystal stones.

"Brothers, how's it going?"

Gu Sheng greeted the miners.

"Xiao Sheng, there are so many crystal stones here. Elder Li Yuan will be very happy if he knows about it."

Lao Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly.

"Xiao Sheng, look!"

One miner shouted excitedly, "The spar here is better than what we mined before!"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and took a look. The high-quality crystal stones that were originally found sporadically were now being unearthed like a fountain.

Car after cart of crystals were transported out of the mine. The sheer quantity and high quality shocked everyone.

In this way, a huge harvest was achieved on the first day of work.

After a day's work, everyone returned to the ground.

After an inventory, the output of Mine No. 13 far exceeded that of other mines, making it the most efficient mine in the entire mining area.

The news soon reached Elder Li Yuan's ears.

He personally came to the mine and inspected the results of the day's mining.

Elder Li Yuan showed a satisfied smile on his face and highly praised Gu Sheng's intelligence and leadership abilities.

"Xiao Sheng, you performed very well today and brought huge wealth to our mining area. On behalf of the entire mining area, I thank you."

Elder Li Yuan patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said.

"hehe……"

Gu Sheng smiled modestly, "Thank you, elder. All this is the hard work of the miners. I just provided some guidance."

Elder Li Yuan nodded, turned to the miners, and said loudly: "I hope you will continue your efforts. By then, the Holy Land of Shaking Light will not treat each of you badly!"

When the miners who followed Gu Sheng heard this, their fatigue suddenly disappeared, and they wished they could go to work now.

After everyone dispersed, Gu Sheng was ready to go back and rest.

But before Gu Sheng could enter the residence, he was stopped by Yao Qing.

"Gu Sheng!"

Yao Qing's voice was a little cold.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Yao Qing's cold and bold look, Gu Sheng asked with a smile.

Then, Yao Qing directly pulled Gu Sheng aside.

At this time, Gu Sheng's divine power was sealed, and he couldn't get away from being held by a cultivator like Yao Qing.

Moreover, it was painful from being pulled.

"Hey, hey, hey! Little beauty, you're hurting me."

Gu Sheng said somewhat speechlessly.

Yao Qing, on the other hand, acted as if she didn't hear him, and still pulled him with all his strength, and didn't let go until he reached a place where no one was around.

Gu Sheng rubbed his painful arm and frowned.

He looked at Yao Qing with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"What are you doing? I'm not a prisoner."

Gu Sheng's voice was teasing.

Yao Qing did not answer, but asked directly: "Gu Sheng, why did you choose Mine No. 13?"

Yao Qing's eyes were sharp, as if they were trying to penetrate Gu Sheng's soul.

Gu Sheng avoided her gaze and said vaguely: "No...it's nothing, I just want to show off."

"That's it?"

There was obvious doubt in Yao Qing's voice.

"right."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"cut!"

Yao Qing rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng and asked again, "Do you really have no other purpose?"

"well……"

Gu Sheng sighed, knowing that he could not hide this shrewd woman.

"Okay, I admit, I just want to perform well and get more opportunities."

Yao Qing curled her lips, sighed and shook her head.

"Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng, don't think I'm so easy to deceive."

Yao Qing's voice was filled with disdain, and then she said, "Do you want to get the source of the concentrate inside?"

"Um?"

Gu Sheng looked at Yao Qing in surprise, not expecting that she could guess what he was thinking.

"How do you know?"

"hehe……"

Yao Qing smiled proudly, but soon returned to a serious expression.

"I guessed it, but Gu Sheng, I'm warning you, Mine No. 13 is very dangerous."

Speaking of the word "danger", Yao Qing's expression became serious.

Gu Sheng frowned, knowing that Yao Qing would not warn him for no reason.

"What do you know?"

Gu Sheng asked seriously.

Yao Qing was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Deep in Mine No. 13, there is a powerful force surging. I once heard the older generation of cultivators say that there is an ancient existence sealed there. If If you accidentally touch the seal, it may cause disaster, so..."

"So you want me to give up Mine No. 13?"

Gu Sheng said first.

"good."

Yao Qing nodded.

Gu Sheng stood there, and the scene before when his wheel was not sealed suddenly appeared in his mind.

He was carefree at that time, how could he be like this now?

"Don't worry, Yao Qing, I will be careful."

Gu Sheng nodded seriously and was unwilling to give up.

"you……"

Yao Qing was speechless.

"Yao Qing, if you want to help me, why not tell me what's inside so that I can be more prepared."

Gu Sheng turned his head and asked.

"call……"

Yao Qing took a deep breath, her eyes showing worry.

She knew what this secret meant to Gu Sheng, but she still decided to tell the truth.

"Gu Sheng, listen to me. There are indeed ancient creatures in Mine No. 13. No one knows what they look like. They only know that they are very terrifying."

Yao Qing's voice was low and seemed to have a sense of fear.

Gu Sheng's body stiffened instantly and he looked at Yao Qing in disbelief, as if he had heard a fantasy.

"Ancient creatures? What does that mean?"

Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ancient creatures refer to those beings that existed in the early stages of biological formation. They possess unknown powers. As for their specific appearance, no one knows because they have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, or even longer."

Yao Qing explained.

"Then why do you, Shaking Light Holy Land, choose to collect crystals in this place?"

Gu Sheng asked casually.

"Because only the crystals around here are of high quality, and the closer to the ancient creatures, the higher the quality of the crystals will be!"

Yao Qing pointed to the nearby location.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng was suddenly stunned.

These words were exactly the same as what Chi Wen perceived in Mine No. 13.

The closer the danger is, the higher the quality of the crystal.

"Okay, I understand, Yao Qing, thank you for telling me this, but I will continue to be in Mine No. 13."

After saying that, Gu Sheng left without looking back.

"you……"

Yao Qing looked at Gu Sheng's leaving figure and felt helpless.

The next day, Gu Sheng continued to lead the miners to mine No. 13.

Since Elder Li Yuan personally praised the performance of Mine No. 13 and received generous remuneration, Gu Sheng's team has doubled this time to thirty people.

As long as you are obedient, Gu Sheng will not refuse.

Just like that, half a month passed.

More and more crystals came out of the No. 13 mine, and the quality was getting better and better.

Gu Sheng had almost 200 miners under him.

However, Gu Sheng was getting more nervous and excited.

Because the quality improvement was positively correlated with the danger.

The most important thing was that the concentrate source could help him recover his divine power!

Through calculations, Gu Sheng felt that he could dig up the concentrate source today.

After making preparations, Gu Sheng called out, "Everyone, start working! Go down to the mine!"

With Gu Sheng's order, more than 200 people went down to the No. 13 mine in a mighty manner.

Compared with before, the No. 13 mine had expanded several times, and the space inside was almost enough to accommodate a small mountain.

Soon, the miners began to mine crystals as usual.

"Ding ding bang bang!"

The picks and shovels in the hands of the miners made crisp sounds on the crystals.

"Ah!!!"

But with a cry of surprise, everyone's attention was drawn to the depths of the mine.

"Look! What is that?"

A miner pointed at a crystal in the corner, his voice turned into a chicken's voice.

The crystal was as big as a human head, with a smooth surface. It was not as hard as ordinary crystals, but had a soft texture.

What was even more peculiar was that the surface of the crystal was flashing with a bright red light, as if blood was flowing inside.

"Oh my god! Is this... is it alive?"

"It doesn't look like it? It looks like a stone."

"No, no, no, this is definitely not an ordinary crystal!"

Other miners gathered around, with doubts written all over their faces.

Zhang Dabing also gathered around.

He was a famously daring man in the mine, but he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He put down the pickaxe in his hand and walked carefully towards the blood-red crystal.

"This... this can't be the legendary blood crystal?"

Zhang Dabing's voice trembled.

He stretched out his hand and gently picked up the crystal.

The blood crystal trembled slightly in Zhang Dabing's hand, and the red light became more dazzling.

The miners around retreated, not daring to approach, fearing that this mysterious crystal would bring something unexpected.

"Blood crystal, a crystal with powerful power in legend, can help practitioners break through bottlenecks and restore their divine power!"

Old Li said in a low voice.

Zhang Dabing hugged the blood crystal tightly, but he was uneasy.

He knew that the value of this crystal was far greater than any crystal they had mined.

"This... this is the luck of our mine!"

A miner shouted excitedly.

He seemed to have seen the day when he would become rich and powerful.

Gu Sheng stood aside, observing all this with sharp eyes.

He knew that the appearance of blood crystal meant that his divine power would be restored!

"Don't panic, everyone, protect this blood crystal first."

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, trying to act calmly.

"Yes! Listen to the foreman!"

The miners nodded, knowing that Gu Sheng's decision was always correct.

So, under Gu Sheng's command, several miners carefully moved the blood crystal to a safe place in the mine. (End of this chapter)
