Chapter 52: Learn Mining With Me

“Can you take me there?”

“No problem!” Star nodded.

“Let’s go!” He Yiming didn’t talk nonsense and stepped into the air with his flying sword.

After thinking about it, He Yiming hung a rope at the end of Mingyue and made a lasso on the other end, then threw it down.

“Tie this to your body!” He Yiming said casually.

“Uh … good!” Star was taken aback and could only do so.

“Ah!” As Star exclaimed, He Yiming stepped on the flying sword and pierced the air. Below the flying sword was the yelling Star.

“Hold the grass, Brother Star has taken off!”

“Fuck, I want to fly too!”

“Brother Ming, take me. Take me to fly!”

Many players became very envious after seeing this scene. They ignored the players’ screams, and He Yiming flew for a few miles before arriving in a cave.

“This is it!” Star nodded.

As soon as he entered the cave, He Yiming smelled a damp and slightly rancid smell, and there were still some monster fur and bones on the ground.

Obviously this cave had always been a nest of pythons. Soon after he went deeper, He Yiming saw some faint light.

“Light!” He Yiming lifted his left hand, turned slightly, and activated an illumination technique.

Under the ray of light, a big hole appeared in front of him. In the depths of the big pit, there were many spirit stones inlaid on the ground and walls.

“It really is a vein of spirit stones!” He Yiming was overjoyed. Spirit stones were the currency of the world of cultivation.

He Yiming worked hard to help people copy notes for a day in Haotian Academy, but he could only earn two or three spirit stones in return.

Here, there were spirit stones everywhere. They just had to spend time and slowly dig it out.

He Yiming could dig by himself, but of course, He Yiming would not waste his time doing it. He returned to the camp where the chariot was located, He Yiming immediately summoned all the players.

“Disciples …

“Through the efforts of the inner disciple Star, a powerful late-stage Spirit Vein beast has been killed. At the same time, he also discovered a vein of spirit stones!

“If you are a disciple who isn’t good at fighting, you can go to the spirit stone vein and excavate.

“Every piece of spiritual stone you hand in the sect will warrant you a reward!” He Yiming announced and released a new task.

【Sect Mission: Excavating Spirit Stones

Goal: Dig 5 pieces of spirit stones, hand them to the sect, and put it in the chariot’s warehouse.

Reward: 100 contribution points.】

As He Yiming released a new mission, many players were boiling over.

“Hold the grass. Is this new task going to make me a miner?”

“Five spirit stones are equivalent to 100 contributions, which is much more efficient than killing monsters!”

“I-I-I-I’ll sign up!”

Many players were overjoyed and signed up one after another.

“In addition, in the process of exploring, if you find any spirit grass or heaven and earth treasure, you can also submit it to the sect. I will identify them one by one and give you the corresponding rewards!” He Yiming continued, and then released another task.

【Sect Mission: Collect Spirit Grass

Goal: Collect low-level Spirit Grass which is more than one year old, turn it over to the sect, and place them inside the chariot’s warehouse.

Reward: 100 points

/year of low-level Spirit Grass】

As soon as this collection task was released, the player erupted again, but He Yiming laughed.

The Star group was lucky and found two low-level Spirit Grasses that had matured for seven years.

The Blood Tooth Grass was one of the main materials of the Body Forging Pill. As long as the batch of Spirit Grass in the sect matured, He Yiming could open the furnace to refine the pill. With better luck, he could even refine the top-grade Body Forging Pill.

Many players had reached the fifth level of the Body Forging Realm. They were as strong as Indomitable Bear. But because some did not die during the Sea Race’s invasion, the highest level were still at the tenth level of the Body Forging Realm.

If Indomitable Bear wanted to use contribution points to increase his cultivation base to the peak of the tenth stage of the Body Forging Realm, he would need at least 2000 points.

But if he used a top-grade Body Forging Pill, only one would do.

Seven years Blood Tooth Grass, He Yiming intended to use 700 points to reclaim it. For the other auxiliary materials, he would spend up to 300 contribution points.

With such a calculation, the cost went up to 1000 contribution points. If the alchemy was successful, two or three pills could be produced in one furnace.

At that time, He Yiming planned to sell the top-grade Body Forging Pills to players for 1000 contribution points. Refining three in one furnace was 3000 contribution points, and the cost was only 1000.

After flipping hands, it was 200% profit.

“Well … let the player collect the Spirit Grass. I will recycle it at a low price, refine it into a pill, and then sell it back to the player at a high price …

“In this way, I not only don’t need to take risks, but I also save time. In the end, I can earn more … It’s almost three birds with one stone!

“Hey … As the Sect Master, this is cheap. If I don’t take it, what else can I do?” He Yiming’s face brimmed of justice.

“A one-year-old Spirit Grass has a reward of 100 contribution points?”

“Fuck, I was only thinking about fighting monsters before. Foraging is the true kingly way!”

“I understand, I understand!”

Many players suddenly woke up. The killing was just a means. Foraging was the ultimate goal.

“In addition, this is only the outer area. Our goal is to go deep into one hundred thousand mountains and hundreds of miles! Keep going, and we will encounter more powerful monsters”

“You are not strong enough at the moment”

“Disciples, you must seize this opportunity and continue to hone your strength! You must become stronger to defeat those powerful monsters!” He Yiming’s impassioned speech once again made the players uproar.

With all the players, they killed 40 or 50 monsters in one morning. But, the number of monsters in these 100,000 mountains was uncountable. The number of monsters they killed was not even one in ten-thousandth of the true number.

Even in the morning, the distance the Star group was the farthest. They were about two miles away.

The missions released by the system were to advance one hundred miles in seven days, and the rewards of the missions were also evaluated by the speed and efficiency of completion.

At the current speed, whether they could advance half of the distance in seven days was another thing. Even if they barely advanced to a hundred miles in seven days, the one with a low evaluation for task completion would naturally not yield a good task reward.

He Yiming knew that it was time for him to get involved.
