Chapter 152: Brothers, Trust Me

"I’ve seen all sorts of scenes in the mine; this is nothing."

"Look, the tremors below are so violent, yet the Xuan Iron Mine has only tilted slightly, indicating its hardness."

"I suspect there may be an ancient cave beneath this Xuan Iron Mine. If we wait patiently, the opportunity will reveal itself!"

"Brothers, trust me!"

After saying this, Senior Brother Luo calmly pulled his right foot out of the ground, soaring into the air with a gleeful expression filled with confidence.

Seeing this, the other disciples gradually lost their initial desire to leave.

An ancient cave!

That is where the opportunities lie. If they could obtain it, the sect wouldn’t forcibly take it; it would be their own chance.

“People die for wealth, just as birds perish for food,” Senior Brother Luo had a valid point.

Noticing some disciples remained unconvinced, Senior Brother Luo spoke again:

"Whether you believe me or not is entirely up to you. If you don’t believe, feel free to leave. I’ll just say this: don’t regret it later!"

This strengthened the determination of those disciples who were still uncertain.

"Senior Brother Luo, you’ve misunderstood. Of course, we trust you!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Luo is selfless; I admire you!"

"Senior Brother Luo, once we settle this matter, I am willing to follow you!"

Several disciples clasped their fists, their eyes filled with admiration.

In such an environment, he remained brimming with confidence and clear in his mind; perhaps he would become a true inheritor of the sect one day!

Seeing the trust of the crowd, Senior Brother Luo’s expression calmed, and he closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the opportunity to appear in the shaking mine.

His actions earned immense respect from the other disciples! They believed his words without a doubt!

"And what about the other disciples?"

"Why aren’t they coming out?"

"With such violent tremors, have they gone foolish from mining?"

Outside the mine, Elder Lu’s chest heaved as anger brewed in his eyes, unable to contain himself from shouting.

Initially, the tremors were not significant, and Elder Lu was not worried, especially since Elder Yan had previously assessed the situation and found nothing unusual. It seemed there was no major problem.

Thus, Elder Lu had merely waited for the shaking to subside.

But as the tremors intensified, Elder Lu’s mood fluctuated with it!

There might actually be a problem!

Most importantly, Ji Yang was still inside!

“He isn’t worried about Ji Yang; he’s just worried that it’s Ji Yang!”

However, seeing many disciples rush out of the mine, Elder Lu felt a bit more at ease. As long as the people got out, it didn’t matter if the mine collapsed; Elder Yan would cover for them!

But after Elder Lu checked, he realized that less than half of the disciples had emerged!

Where are the other half of the disciples?

At this moment, the tremors from outside had grown immensely powerful; one could easily imagine the situation inside was even more intense.

Yet, despite such shaking, none of the remaining disciples in the mine came running out?

Even though Elder Yan was there to support them, if too many disciples were injured or killed, even Elder Yan wouldn’t be able to bear it!

With such great shaking, if the Xuan Iron Mine weren’t so far from the sect, the sect would probably sense it!

This situation was clearly not as simple as before!

That’s why Elder Lu had just expressed his furious thoughts!

The nearby guard disciples hurriedly activated the formations and the ringing of a bell, sending the message deep into the mine.

This time, the bell rang urgently and long, signaling an emergency for all disciples to quickly leave the mine.

The sound of the bell reached the interior of the mine, where dozens of people led by Senior Brother Luo stood still, quietly awaiting their opportunity.

One disciple, hearing the bell first, shouted:

"Senior Brother Luo, it seems to be an emergency bell!"

"It’s fine. I feel the opportunity will arrive soon!"

…

“Ding!”

A crisp sound rang out as Ji Yang felt a rebound force from his hand.

Looking down, he realized that his last careless strike failed to break anything loose.

The hardness of the Top-Quality Xuan Iron Mine exceeded his expectations; no wonder it’s a higher-grade ore.

Ji Yang decided to stop holding back. He injected primordial spirit energy into his iron pick and swung it with all his strength, violently striking the Top-Quality Xuan Iron Mine below!

The iron pick struck the ore, and this time he didn’t feel any obstruction; he directly mined a large chunk of Top-Quality Xuan Iron.

As he pulled out the Top-Quality Xuan Iron, a purple light point shot out from the ore!

Ji Yang’s eyes lit up with joy.

This was worth it!

Without hesitation, Ji Yang absorbed it!

Since there was still a considerable amount of Top-Quality Xuan Iron connected below and he couldn’t extract it all, Ji Yang didn’t bother checking the recently obtained purple light point and continued mining.

With primordial spirit energy fueling the iron pick, Ji Yang lightly swung the pick.

Each strike allowed him to extract a piece of Top-Quality Xuan Iron.

But his second find was only a blue light point.

Ji Yang felt a bit disappointed, yet he wasn’t discouraged; cultivation points were still useful.

As large rocks fell, some accompanying ores from the bottom of the Xuan Iron Mine mixed in. The formations crumbled, and Ji Yang even saw the Xuan Iron Mine tilting without the support of formations, indicating time was running out.

But Ji Yang continued swinging his iron pick, as if enchanted, unable to stop.

Cultivation +1

…

This was incredibly abundant.

Ji Yang felt a wave of comfort; even as rocks fell from above, they were destroyed into scraps by the Thousands of Sword Energies he unleashed.

However, using the Thousands of Sword Energies put quite a burden on his spiritual energy, but for the sake of mining, it was all worth it.

After Ji Yang dug dozens of times, he still didn’t find a second purple light point, but there were many blue light points, making up about eighty percent, while the rest were green light points, showing just how high the quality of this ore was!

But as the digging continued, the quality of the light points also began to decline, indicating that the Top-Quality Xuan Iron Mine still had certain limitations.

"Boom!"

A loud noise from above made Ji Yang stop his actions.

He looked down at the small pile of remaining ore and then up at the now significantly tilted and shaky Xuan Iron Mine.

Ji Yang mulled it over, choosing not to continue. He put away his iron pick, entering a lightly Feather Transformation state, and swiftly headed back through the tunnel he had come from.

When Ji Yang reached the tunnel’s entrance, he found that falling rocks had blocked the exit.

Remaining calm under pressure, he spread his primordial spirit energy to quickly locate the exit of the mine. Then, the sword qi within him surged, and thousands of sword energies rushed upward, shattering the obstructing rocks.

Before the rocks above completely fell, Ji Yang transformed into a white light, rapidly fleeing towards the tunnel he had mined.

Having broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Ji Yang’s speed increased further, plus the support of his Feather Transformation state, possibly even surpassing the speed of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.

While escaping, Ji Yang even thought of other matters.

With such significant tremors, the other disciples in the mine should have noticed, right? Perhaps everyone had already evacuated by now.

In that case, Ji Yang had no psychological burden; this collapse seemed to be his responsibility!
