When he originally chose this cave with the worst aura, he was interested in the unknown sensitivity of the spirit body to the ground. But who would have thought that there would be no other gains except an empty natural cave, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but regret it.
Where is the other grouper ant? Where is the excavation team?
Liu Yuan encountered too many things today, and his head was a little unclear, and then he remembered his ant team.
After using his spiritual sense to detect for a while, he found that the mental connection of the other grouper ant was a little weak, and it probably came from deeper underground.
He groped around bit by bit based on the changes in the intensity of the induction, and then summoned a group of ants to search more carefully.
Finally, when searching for a place on the ground, Liu Yuan found that the soil was slightly fresh, and he almost missed it if he didn't look carefully. The grouper ants' telepathy comes from the depths of this place.
Sure enough, Liu Yuan blasted away several fireballs, stone chips and soil flew away, and a hole was gradually revealed.
It turned out that after the grouper ants led the team to discover the cave, the next order from Liu Yuan was delayed in arriving. The grouper ants that had been waiting for a long time began to follow the earliest order and continued to dig underground. This time, they acted freely on their own initiative. They didn't even have time to clean up the excavated soil and rocks, so they covered the hole again. Over time, moss even covered the entrance. No wonder Liu Yuan didn't notice.
This happened half a year ago. Liu Yuan expanded the entrance of the cave and explored all the way down, discovering that the cave was bottomless.
The grouper ant did not receive the next order, so it led the way according to its earth attribute talent. It dug wherever it was easy to dig, not necessarily straight down. In this way, the digging speed was not slow. It has been over half a year. It was continuously excavated to a depth of tens of miles.
Liu Yuan has never been so deep underground. The last time he had a similar experience was the Yin Marrow vein in the Valley of Trials.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but as he continued to go deeper, Liu Yuan always felt that the atmosphere here became more and more like the original Yin Marrow Mine.
Sure enough, dots of starlight slowly appeared on the rock wall. Although they were subtle, they had a dazzling effect. They were the traces of sporadic distribution of Yin Marrow fragments.
The aura of the other grouper ant is getting stronger and stronger, and the size of the marrow fragments in the rock formation is also getting larger and larger, some even surpassing the mine in the Valley of Trials.
Could it be that the grouper ants accidentally dug up a new mineral vein?
Liu Yuan no longer had any regrets about the location of the cave. Although it was probably just the big cave that he sensed at the beginning, he did not expect that there was such an undiscovered mineral vein underground.
This conjecture was quickly verified. In this winding tunnel, Liu Yuan began to discover whole pieces of yin marrow one after another, and they were carelessly discarded on the ground. This should have been pried out in one piece by the bull ants when they were digging. The ants didn't know the value of this thing and threw it on the ground casually.
After collecting several pieces of the best quality Yin marrow, Liu Yuan finally came to the excavation surface of the underground cave.
The grouper ant in charge of "supervising the work" immediately sensed its owner, and it ran over and rubbed Liu Yuan's legs affectionately. And several giant bull ants are still knocking on the wall diligently, and they will not stop without orders.
Large and small yin marrows were scattered on the ground in different shapes, shining like diamonds. Liu Yuan knew that his financial problems would no longer be a problem from this moment on.
This is a rich vein of minerals that has never been mined!
Yin marrow is a must-have for practicing ghost spirit skills. The summoned zombies and ghosts need the Yin marrow just like monks need spiritual stones. Moreover, monks who practice Yin attributes also need a large amount of Yin marrow.
Tianyou Peak was once a special area rich in yin essence. Over time, most of the monks practicing related techniques in Lingtian Pavilion gathered here, so it was later named Tianyou Peak.
Liu Yuan explored with the ants for half a day and roughly determined the direction of the mineral vein. Suddenly something in his bag began to shake.
It is the formation stone of the cave.
After the array stone was embedded in the array plate, a small piece was separated and carried by Liu Yuan. At this time, it was warning that someone was coming to the cave.
Liu Yuan hurriedly arranged the work of the excavation team, and also allocated an additional excavation reserve team of bull ants and a transport team of army ants. Only then did he reach the ground.
Wu Darong was not surprised that Liu Yuan came out of the ground in disgrace. Digging underground to expand caves is what many new monks do.
But he never expected that Liu Yuan had dug dozens of miles deep.
Perhaps it was the ants who foolishly carried out unrewarding work and dug so deep without sleep that they were able to discover new veins of minerals by chance.
After all, new mineral veins are by no means easy to find, let alone such rich mineral veins.
Perhaps, the yellow grouper ant’s earthy sense of smell is also helping?
Putting aside these chaotic thoughts, Liu Yuan gathered his mind. He planned to keep this secret, even when facing the good old man Wu Darong.
"I heard that junior brother has succeeded in building the foundation, congratulations." Wu Darong smiled, "From now on, we have another disciple with a foreign surname in the foundation building stage, which is really a great thing."
Although in Tianji Peak, disciples from aristocratic families and disciples with other surnames are not treated very deliberately differently, their status and training resources are not on the same level after all. As time went by, there was still a faint feeling that each of them signed up for a group, and they secretly competed with each other.
Although Wu Darong's personal cultivation is not the highest, he is naturally warm-hearted, and Ren Shidao also arranges many daily affairs according to the situation, so he is vaguely the leader in the circle of outsiders.
The disciples of the aristocratic families in Tianji Peak respect Mu Zihui, and it is said that he has entered the late stage of Jindan.
After all, the monks who practice the Avenue of Immortality are very high-spirited and will not tear each other down like the careless ordinary people in the market. Although there are boundaries between the two sides, they have always been in peace with each other. They are just secretly competing with each other.
But the year before, Ren Tianqing was elected to the main peak but failed to successfully build the foundation during the retreat period, which was considered a record. It is said that she even sneaked out and was punished by the peak leader. This matter has already spread throughout the major peaks. He was also laughed at for a long time by the inferior disciples with foreign surnames.
But the counterattack came immediately. Next, it was Tianji Peak. The newly promoted Liu Yuan actually broke Tianqing's record and extended the foundation building time to nearly two years.
At this time, the disciples of the aristocratic family couldn't help but take this opportunity to regain their position in various situations, but for now they are still at the level of quick talk.
Whatever, just a little longer, Wu Darong thought to himself. Fortunately, it didn’t break the bottom line of two years.
Moreover, sometimes it is true that there is a lot of accumulation but little success. In order to lay a solid foundation, many disciples will deliberately extend the time for foundation building and breakthrough, work slowly and steadily, and only break through after one year.
Ren Tianqing went all out after the success of foundation building, and broke through to the second level of foundation building in less than a year. This is an excellent example of latecomers, first comers. Many elders of the family are already considering using this method to train their younger disciples.
But the real reason is probably only known to her.
Now, Ren Tianqing's name is known to everyone in Lingtian Pavilion, and even Liu Yuan has been noticed by more people.
When he learned the news from Wu Darong, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "There is an old saying in my hometown, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Senior brother, have you ever heard of it?"
