Chapter 1136: Immortal King-Grade Vein Mine
Shi Hao could clearly walk faster, even fly down directly, but he chose to keep a low profile.
The situation here was completely unknown, and besides, there were many Golden Immortals and Silver Armored Immortals; there was no need to stand out too much.
As he walked along, Shi Hao did not see anything unusual.
It was just a simple staircase, winding its way down, and nothing else was there.
He also reached out to touch the tower wall, discovering that it was not metal, but a type of stone.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief. If it had been metal, it would have been terrifying—who could collect so much Immortal Gold to build a tower?
At the base of the tower... finally, there was a door, and it was open. It was unclear if it had always been open or if Woo Yueyi had opened it.
Those who came down left immediately through the door and didn't linger in the tower.
Shi Hao paused, observing the situation at the base of the tower carefully, hoping to discover something.
"Haha, you think that after all these Golden Immortals and Silver Spirit Immortals passed by here, you'll find something big?" someone mocked in Shi Hao's ear.
Shi Hao looked over, seeing a young man glancing at him disdainfully.
Bang!
Shi Hao struck with a hand knife, and the young man instantly fell to the ground, fainting directly.
For such small figures, there was no need to waste words; just knock them out.
Those around them grinned, noting how crisp and decisive Shi Hao was; he took action immediately, and with such overwhelming strength, he knocked the man out in one blow.
"Was that Fu Guangqi?" someone whispered.
"He's not particularly strong, but his brother Fu Guangyao is a famous genius, a Seven Stars Copper Armored Immortal, and it's said his combat power surpasses Nine Stars!"
"Fu Guangyao hasn't come over yet, but when he does, Fu Guangqi will surely complain, and that'll be big trouble."
"No worries, Shi Hao will leave soon, and even if Fu Guangqi complains, Fu Guangyao might not find him."
"True."
At first, everyone thought Shi Hao was too reckless, but after reconsidering, they realized that if the area was expansive enough, Shi Hao could just hide and wouldn't need to worry about being chased by Fu Guangyao.
Shi Hao also heard the crowd's discussions but paid no mind.
Seven Stars Copper Armored Immortal?
Heh.
After looking around and finding nothing noteworthy, he walked out through the door.
It was a dim world outside, which was normal; this was underground, without sunlight to illuminate it, so it couldn't be bright. In contrast, some rocks emitted a faint glow, preventing the whole area from falling into darkness.
Outside the tower, there was a ruin. There had once been buildings here, but they had been razed to the ground. However, one could still see the grandeur of its heyday, as the nearby stones were enormous.
Even so, the stones had cracks, suggesting that when intact, each stone was immensely large. The buildings constructed from such vast stones must have been majestic and magnificent.
Strangely, when one touched these rocks, the emitted light would intensify, and when the hand was withdrawn, the glow would dim.
Being a curious person, Shi Hao studied these rocks, trying to figure out why they could glow, or why they glowed upon being touched.
"This involves high-level rules, which you can't comprehend right now," said the Purple Gold Rat.
Alright.
Shi Hao continued forward, but after leaving the ruins, the crowd dispersed.
Outside, there were many paths, and it seemed any direction was viable.
So, just go anywhere.
Shi Hao randomly chose a direction and walked leisurely.
As he walked, he looked up, noticing that the sky here was about a thousand feet high, which naturally was the bottom of Lu Chen's previous land.
It seemed that this massive area had existed a long time ago, so ancient that it was unfathomable. But for some unknown reason, or whether by human or natural forces, a new layer of earth had appeared.
Even this layer of earth had experienced countless years of development; otherwise, there couldn't have evolved an Immortal Stone Mine.
To form a mine, at least a million years is necessary.
Did something significant happen in the Immortal Realm?
Shao Hao had countless conjectures in his mind. Now, the Immortal Realm appeared prosperous, but beneath this prosperity, he faintly felt a sense of crisis, though he couldn't articulate what this crisis was.
He pressed on, and soon he came across a place where people were gathering.
Here, everyone was incredibly excited, as if they had encountered something wonderful.
It turned out that it was the entrance to an Immortal Stone Mine, already developed, but not exhausted, with a large number of Raw Stones still inside, needing to be mined piece by piece rather than found everywhere.
From the discussions, this Raw Stone Mine was of extremely high grade, as the first group to enter found Jade Immortal level Immortal Stones!
This meant the Immortal Stone Mine was at least of Jade Immortal grade!
This was astonishing because the highest quality mine owned by Mirror Lake Country was barely at the Jade Immortal level.
The primary reason was that this vein hadn't existed long enough; otherwise, with more time to gather Heaven and Earth Rules, the quality of Immortal Stones from this vein might have continued to improve.
Even in a Jade Immortal-grade vein, the number of Jade Immortal-grade Immortal Stones that could be harvested was relatively scarce.
Shi Hao, who had helped Jia Kangshi open so many Raw Stones, naturally knew how rare Jade Immortal-grade Immortal Stones were.
Therefore, randomly picking a few Raw Stones here and opening Jade Immortal-grade Immortal Stones naturally caused a sensation.
It was likely a high-level Jade Immortal-grade vein!
Such a high-grade vein, once exposed, would undoubtedly be claimed by the Royal Family of Mirror Lake Country, so everyone was quite conscious.
Dig, as much as you can, because once Mirror Lake Country sends in the army, no one else will get a share.
However, now that Golden Immortals and Silver Spirit Immortals were first in, others could only wait.
Then, the crowd rushed toward the mine in a frenzy.
"Little Stone, let's go!" exclaimed the Purple Gold Rat excitedly. "This might just be an Immortal King level vein."
What!
Shi Hao was slightly taken aback, glancing at the Purple Gold Rat.
An Immortal King level vein, meaning it could yield Immortal King level Immortal Stones, containing the fifth-tier Immortal rules, greatly beneficial even for an Immortal King to cultivate.
"Okay." He nodded immediately.
One person and one rat entered the vein, but at the request of the Purple Gold Rat, they did not stop along the way and instead ventured as deep as possible.
"Little Stone, it really depends on your luck this time!" said the Purple Gold Rat, its voice trembling a bit, "Immortal King Gold!"
