Volume 1 Three Chi Qingfeng Sword in Hand Chapter 44 Top-grade Pulse Crystal Stone

  Three days later, in front of the Ye family's house, a vast number of people gathered on the barren land, nearly ten thousand people brought mining equipment to gather at the Ye family, with varying levels of cultivation. Some small families even brought along ordinary strong men, and there were also several half-grown children, with innocent faces.

  Yun Yijian looked at Kai Miao and the large crowd of ordinary people, suddenly crying and laughing.

  For them, a piece of meridian crystal is a contribution point, the more the better. Even ordinary strong men can mine several pieces, let alone cultivators during the opening of the meridians!

  "Leave those few children behind, the others can withdraw. Do your best, I don't want my Pulse Crystal to be stained with blood!" Yun Yijian said in a deep voice.

  Yun Yijian spoke out, and naturally, the small family did not dare to refute him. Since they were allowed to keep the mortal behind, it was already a great kindness.

  "I won't! I can also mine the vein, and I have experience. Please give me a chance!" Suddenly, an eleven or twelve-year-old child darted out, staring at Yun Tianjian with determined eyes.

  "Experience is not necessary! Mining is very dangerous, I don't need unnecessary sacrifices!" Yun Yijian said coldly, looking at the tender face.

  "Sir, please give me one chance! I've already opened the vein and it's enough to protect myself. If not, I'll only extract the surface crystal ore?" The child begged.

  "Give me a reason to take you with me!" Yun Yijian said, his expression softening as he looked at the child's determined face.

  "I want to become stronger! I need contribution points for my family, the elder said that excavating a piece of pulse crystal is equivalent to one hundred contribution points for the family!" The child said seriously, "One hundred contribution points are enough for half a year's worth, so I want to work hard and dare to work hard!"

  "Hahaha……" Yun Yijian burst out laughing, shaking the sky, his laughter containing sarcasm and appreciation. "If these people had your courage, they wouldn't have been oppressed by Qing Shan Sect for thousands of years! Your request, I grant!"

  "If you can come out alive, I can even take you as a nominal disciple!" Yun Yijian said in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

  "Qian Hong!" The child replied with puffed out chest.

  "Not bad, let's see how you perform!" Yun Yijian's calm face showed a hint of satisfaction.

  One sentence won Cloud's admiration, and he soared into the sky. This is opportunity! Envied by others.

  The other children also wanted to follow suit and say something like that, but looking at Yun Yijian's stern face, they didn't dare speak for a long time.

  After a moment of silence, a group of people set off in a mighty and majestic manner, heading towards that desolate mountain region.

  Thousands of people rushed with excitement, fearing they would fall behind.

  The cliffs are steep and difficult to walk, a large number of strong people carrying those below the opening period struggled to move forward, most of the withered trees in the desolate mountains were burned, leaving only bare rocks.

  After walking for a whole day and night, they finally arrived at this valley. Suddenly, more than 10,000 young people appeared in the valley, and their faces changed drastically.

  "Don't panic, Ye Huozi, lead the way, we'll go mining together!" Ye Qing said as he stepped forward.

  Almost ten thousand people rushed into the valley, only to find a towering mountain that pierced the sky, its surface entirely composed of low-grade crystal ore. These crystals were extremely worthless and nobody knew how to utilize them, so they naturally became waste products. However, Yun Yijian treated them as if they were treasures.

  "No crowding, each family takes a part of the mountain body, this big place is enough for you to mine for several months! No sneaky robbery is allowed, otherwise, kill without pardon! In addition, 100 low-grade vein crystals can be exchanged for one contribution point, as long as it's vein crystal, I'll take it all!" Yun Yijian's voice enveloped the entire valley, clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

  The masses form an orderly team, and the major forces occupy a large area of mountains, while the minor forces can only choose the edge of the land.

  "You all guard the surroundings! Don't let anything happen! If there's any disturbance, suppress it strongly!" Yun Yijian said, then sat cross-legged at the summit of a mountain, taking out a Pulse Crystal to consolidate his Unity Realm.

  ……

  In the mountains and valleys, all the strong men are driving their subordinates hard.

  "Everyone, speed up! This is related to the prosperity of our family and whoever makes the greatest contribution will be greatly rewarded when we return!"

  "This sect promises that if a superior quality crystal is found, it will be rewarded with one precious pill, and an additional 1,000 Opening Pulse Pills and 300 Condensing Pulse Pills..."

  Almost every household is throwing out heavy benefits to whip up the masses and make them work hard in mining.

  There were only less than two hundred people in the Qian family, occupying only a corner of the courtyard. The head of the Qian family was an old man with only a cultivation base that merged his body and mind, hunching over, with a face full of vicissitudes.

  "Qian Hong, you mustn't take any more risks. The adults have high hopes for you, and from now on, the Qian family will be relying on you!" The old man said in a deep voice.

  "I won't! The more Grandfather and the adults value me, the harder I should work! I mustn't let them down!" Qian Hong's young face showed determination, his eyes fixed on the old man, firm and unshakeable in his decision.

  "Alright, you stubborn kid, you've had a mind of your own since you were little. Fine, since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. Be careful, go ahead and start digging."

  The old man finished speaking and took the lead in breaking open the hardest outer layer, allowing the thousand families to stop digging deeper.

  The mountain shook violently, withered leaves fell, and rocks continuously rolled down from the top, revealing boulders. The strong cultivators crushed them all into powder, reducing casualties.

  A large number of medium-grade crystal ore was concentrated in the depths of the valley, and the power of ordinary people was too weak, almost unanimous, all mining the outer periphery, low-grade crystal ore accumulated continuously, forming a high mountain. The stone mountain looked at him with a helpless expression, so many waste products, let alone move them, it would take several months to move them.

  In the mountain, Qian Hong continuously dug into the mountain body, making selective turns, seemingly very experienced, and almost every half incense stick time could excavate a square block of medium-grade pulse crystal.

  Inside the cave, there was no sense of time, and it was pitch black. Qian Hong took out a low-quality night pearl, which couldn't illuminate the entire cave but could give him enough visibility.

  "Hehe, here comes another one!"

  Qian Hong didn't know how long he had been mining in the mountain cave, but he didn't feel tired at all. When he was hungry, he would eat some dry rations, and when he was thirsty, he would drink some cool water. It seemed that he had long been prepared for a protracted war. In his poor-quality Qiankun bag, apart from over 300 medium-grade pulse crystals, the rest were all food and water.

  At this moment, Qian Hong's clothes were tattered and covered in dust, his face was smeared with stone powder, his small body was full of wounds, fresh blood was still dripping, but he still didn't give up, and continued to move forward.

  Half a month has passed and Qian Hong still hasn't appeared, the Qian family is getting anxious.

  "Stop everything and find Qian Hong immediately!" The old man's body became more hunched, his face filled with worry.

  "But now there are tunnels everywhere in the mountain, nobody knows where he went, what's going on?"

  Thousands of people furrowed their brows, staring at the black hole, some hesitated, and went in. What if they couldn't find a way out? At most, they would starve to death inside within three to five days.

  "You bunch of beasts, get in there and find him! His parents left early, you're all his uncles, if you don't care about his life or death, who will? Get in there now, if you can't find him, you'll all die inside!"

  The old man was furious and beat up several middle-aged people.

  "What's going on?" Ishiyama Kento walked towards the crowd with a frown and asked.

  "Sir, please help me find Xian Hong. He's still young and has been alone in the cave for 15 days. Although he brought enough water and food, I'm still worried!" The old man begged.

  "Chihiro? That child?" Ishiyama Kento asked as soon as he heard it was that child.

  "Yes, Young Master Yun is very important. Please help us, sir. I'm eternally grateful!" The old man's body was almost at a 90-degree angle, his voice trembling slightly.

  "Wait for me to wake up, half a month's time, he won't be able to penetrate much further, my divine sense should have all sensed it."

  Shi Shanquan finished speaking, closed his eyes and expanded his divine consciousness, continuously emitting an aura of majesty that enveloped the mountain.

  After a stick of incense, Shi Shanquan's eyebrows furrowed deeper and a black line appeared on his forehead.

  "This little scamp has actually exceeded the range of my divine insight! That one tunnel that extends the farthest should be the one he dug out, I'll go and come right back!" Shi Shanquan seemed to be intentionally showing off, otherwise a child wouldn't have made him take action personally. Just as he was about to step in, a surge of energy burst into the clouds, shook the rivers of stars, and the entire mountain range began to stir!
