"I feel an extremely dense aura of Lava Ore Crystals. As soon as the Fire Phoenix appeared, it spoke immediately.
"Dense? How dense?"
The Fire Phoenix pondered for a moment, then said excitedly,
"At least one or more veins of Lava Ore Crystals."
"Veins?"
Wan Qianxin was shocked. He immediately took out his scanner, turned it on, and the scanner displayed a large area of red.
That was extremely high concentration of fire element energy.
"My goodness, this entire mountain range is filled with ore crystals?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, their first reaction being: Holy crap, we're rich!
"No wonder the Dao Talisman directly chose this place. We said we wanted to go to a place suitable for the Fire Phoenix to ascend, and it naturally chose the best place for us. There's no place more suitable than this."
Wan Lei stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said,
"Before the Fire Phoenix met us, she had already been in the Tribulation Crossing stage for thousands of years. Her comprehension and accumulation are sufficient, far beyond those two naive simpletons, Yuan Jun and Qing Wu.
This place has enough fire element energy, and suitable Lava Ore Crystals. The abundant fire elements are also suitable for her comprehension. She should break through to the Immortal Realm very quickly."
"Yes, then let's find a suitable place for her to cultivate. It would be best to dig a hole in the ground, deep into the ore veins, as this would be more conducive to cultivation."
"Alright, let's go."
The group flew towards the depths of the mountain range. After flying for a short while, they stopped.
They discovered that their plan to dig holes in the mountain range was completely unnecessary.
Every mountain range here had numerous large holes. After being scanned by the scanner, each tunnel led to a Lava Giant Beast.
"Lava Giant Beasts have strong territorial awareness but lack intelligence. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack you proactively,"
Wan Qianxin said.
"Meaning, if we kill one Lava Giant Beast, the other giant beasts won't come to help?"
"That tunnel looks quite good. Let's kill the giant beast inside and give it to the Fire Phoenix for cultivation."
The group chose a cave and flew in. After making many turns inside, they finally saw the giant beast at the end of the cave.
That giant beast only had the cultivation of the Taiheng realm. Everyone swarmed it and attacked fiercely.
The poor giant beast had no power to resist under their attacks. It was defeated in just a quarter of an hour, finally meeting its end under Dàdá's spiked mace, which performed a "nucleic acid test" on it.
Tsk tsk, its throat burst.
After doing this, everyone left the cave.
The Fire Phoenix was originally a Lava Giant Beast. If she cultivated here, even if someone came to see, they would not be suspicious.
The Fire Phoenix needed a long time to cultivate. While the others were idle, they searched from cave to cave. They spent a month killing most of the giant beasts in the vicinity for a thousand miles, lest these giant beasts compete with the Fire Phoenix for energy.
Still bored, and at Dàdá's suggestion, the group transformed into miners and began their mining operation.
There were simply too many ore crystals here. Apart from dozens of miles of rock covering the mountainside, the area below was all ore crystals. A random chip was far superior to the ore crystals they had found in the past month.
Moreover, the purity and quantity far exceeded those found in the outside world. The group mined crazily, determined to strip the Five Elements Hall bare.
Nothing could stimulate people's enthusiasm more than making money. Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu, and Dàdá were all poor. Although the four little ones were very rich, the money given by their families was not as enjoyable as the money they earned themselves.
While happily mining, the group discussed and calculated that after defeating the disciples of the Five Elements Hall, they would have considerable spoils of war. Coupled with the money from selling ore crystals, their income would be substantial. Then, how should this money be spent?
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu wanted to buy technological weapons.
Dàdá wanted to forge a doppelganger wearing Dao rhyme armor suitable for his main body.
Xia Yubing wanted to buy her own spaceship, even a small one would do, but it had to be filled with snacks.
Wan Qianxin wanted to buy more Dao Talismans to withstand the backlash of the previous Dao Talisman, and buy some auxiliary technological creations.
Han Xiaoyun wanted to build her favorite amusement park, where everything had to be pink, even the clouds in the sky.
Bao Bao wanted to buy ten boxes of lollipops and fill all her pockets with them. But Wan Qianxin told her that the ore she dug was enough to buy a lollipop manufacturing company, which made her even happier.
Well, these four little ones, apart from Wan Qianxin, the other three did not seem like cultivators.
In short, everyone had their own wishes, and everyone worked very hard, including Yuan Jun and Qing Wu.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed. The group was so engrossed in mining that they completely forgot about the enemies of the Five Elements Hall and the Fire Phoenix who was cultivating.
Meanwhile, the bounty issued by Chai Yan, a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, gradually lost its popularity as time went by. After all, it had been too long without any news. Even when Chai Yan increased the bounty to five million, it was useless.
People gradually forgot about the matter.
One day, the group finished mining and came out to the mountain range.
One reason was that the ore in this area was almost depleted. If they mined any more, it wouldn't be enough for the Fire Phoenix to cultivate. Moreover, having killed too many giant beasts, they feared provoking the wrath of the entire giant beast population.
The second reason was that they sensed the vibrations of the Fire Phoenix breaking through the bottleneck.
"Things are almost done. Including the time we notify the enemy, and the time the enemy finds us, it will take about a day. We can notify the enemy now."
Wan Qianxin nodded, took out his spiritual slip, and said,
"I'll private message Chai Yan now."
"Wait a minute, let me do it. Teach me how to use this thing. Your spiritual network is truly magical, allowing people from all over the universe to chat without distance. It's much more convenient than voice transmission."
Wan Lei excitedly took out his spiritual slip, and Fang Xiaoyu also blinked her big eyes with keen interest.
"Okay, this requires real-name registration, but except for the Five Elements Hall executives who control the spiritual network, no one knows your real identity. And the people responsible for the spiritual network will not leak your identity, as long as you don't commit heinous crimes, you'll be fine."
Next, under Wan Qianxin's guidance, Wan Lei took out his ID card and opened the spiritual network on the spiritual slip. The first step after real-name registration stumped him.
