Chapter 1752: Personally Entering the Arena
"What is the proven reserve of the Profound Crystal mineral veins? From the spiritual energy entering the Chaohu, from settling on the surface to becoming Profound Crystals, it takes at least two or three years. According to the current mining progress, it can be dug for at most three or four more years." Manager Lu answered very honestly. "The mine head of Yu Village mentioned that the mineral veins originally grew very fast. The places they dug might have grown new mineral ores in a month. However, however, the mineral buds that have grown in the last half year are very few, and even if they sprout, the growth speed is very slow. So after Yu Village reported to our sect, they slowed down the mining speed, and now they can only produce about eight hundred jin of ore per month."
Eight hundred jin, and that was after the production dropped! He Lingchuan was calm on the surface, but secretly shocked in his heart.
Three years ago, the spiritual energy of the entire Flash Gold Plain was so thin, yet this Chaohu could dig out dozens of jin of spiritual ore every day. It was truly the dry dying of thirst and the flooded dying of drowning.
"When is the next time Yu Village sends ores up the mountain?"
Manager Lu calculated: "It should be tom, tomorrow. In fact, Yu Village hasn't sent Profound Crystals up the mountain for forty-four days because the spirit beast Pengqi that carries the Profound Crystals is throwing a tantrum and refuses to leave the village."
As soon as everyone heard this, they knew it was trouble.
Their luck was truly bad. Yu Village hadn't sent ores for a month and a half, having saved at least over a thousand jin of Profound Crystals.
The Tiangong sent people there, and the purpose was very clear.
Elder Liu said angrily: "Unreasonable, can such a big matter be delayed?"
He said this, and He Lingchuan knew the Illusion Sect's Profound Crystal inventory was very rich. If they were really in short supply, they wouldn't be so unhurried.
Manager Lu stammered: "The old Luo who feeds Pengqi is old, and that job was taken over by someone else, and Pengqi wouldn't do it anymore. It couldn't be coaxed, and it burrowed into the ground. No one could call it out..."
Xiao Wencheng had no time to listen to his nonsense and immediately interrupted: "The Heavenly Demon must be rushing to Yu Village to build a lighthouse, on one hand seizing the Profound Crystal inventory in the village, and on the other hand occupying the mineral mountain to extract spiritual ore."
Everyone's face was as heavy as water, all feeling the urgency.
If the Tiangong occupied the spiritual mine, it would have more capital to consume with them.
The Illusion Sect usually used manpower to mine because there was plenty of time and they weren't in a hurry; the Tiangong digging for minerals, who knew what methods they could use.
He Lingchuan reminded: "Spiritual ore is important, Bai Ziqi will definitely mobilize enough manpower to occupy it. He has already built two lighthouses, and building one here will make three, eventually being able to connect together."
He Lingchuan originally didn't know there were spiritual mines near Yu Village; otherwise, he would have considered it in advance and planned it thoroughly.
However, "it is not too late to mend the fold after the sheep is lost".
Xiao Wencheng immediately said: "We can't let them succeed, but I have to prepare for the lakeside raid later and can't get away. Junior Brother Liu, you take Junior Brother Liu, Junior Brother Zhao, and Junior Brother Xutuo to go together."
The Illusion Sect group of Immortals, excluding the Thousand Illusions and the dead Elder Du, still had eight. Three had already been dispatched to the lakeside battlefield, and Xiao Wencheng himself had to sit in the Wenhui Pavilion to coordinate the overall situation. Now the remaining four Immortals were all dispatched to Yu Village, showing the importance.
Alas, there wasn't enough manpower. If the junior and senior brothers who were looking for the Master's disappearance were still here, that would be good. As long as there were one or two more Immortals, it might be the last straw to overwhelm the opponent.
"Finally there is an opportunity to avenge Junior Brother Diyan!" After Elder Liu finished speaking, he went to summon other Immortals.
Xiao Wencheng took another deep breath and looked at He Lingchuan: "Island Master He, please take care of the battle in Yu Village."
This was the first time the Illusion Sect opened its mouth to ask He Lingchuan for help.
Xiao Wencheng knew his junior brothers were individually formidable, but if they wanted to exert the greatest power in this critical moment, they still needed a master who was proficient in planning.
He Lingchuan had already shown extraordinary talent, and he was immediately grabbed by Xiao Wencheng.
He nodded without hesitation: "Good, I will definitely not fail Sect Master Xiao's trust!"
The Immortal-Demon Great War had continued until now, and it was time to personally enter the arena to test the water temperature. It just so happened that he was also itching to try.
Mother Zhu was suddenly in high spirits: "Is it finally our turn to go on stage?"
It had been watching by the mirror for most of the night and was sleepy! Xiao Wencheng handed each of them a brocade bag: "Profound Crystals and elixirs, for replenishment."
This small pocket was also a storage magic weapon. Dong Rui's divine sense probed and found that inside were large pieces of Profound Crystals that were red and purple, along with seventeen or eighteen elixirs, and three or four emergency magic weapons, each with different effects, which made him overjoyed. A "Sect Master is generous" almost blurted out.
He luckily held it back. He usually said this to Boss He.
Although Sect Master Xiao had stayed on the mountain for a long time, he also understood human feelings. People were risking their lives to work for the Illusion Sect, so they had to express it, right?
At this time, Elder Liu also gathered other Immortals and entered the hall to gather in front of the mirror.
Accompanying them were over two hundred sect elites.
Xiao Wencheng, as the Illusion Sect Sect Master, couldn't get away and had to stay here to coordinate the war situation, but he specifically instructed everyone present, sternly: "In this battle, you must all obey Island Master He's orders and are not allowed to act without authorization. Whoever dares to disobey, after the battle, their cultivation will be stripped and they will be made into laborers!"
He understood his sect disciples. Suddenly dropping a leader down, they would have a sense of contempt.
This punishment was extremely severe. The Illusion Sect disciples all looked at He Lingchuan, looking surprised.
What was the background of this inexplicably appearing "Island Master He" that could be so valued by the Sect Master?
Before leaving, He Lingchuan said solemnly to Xiao Wencheng:
"Sect Master Xiao, the victory or defeat of this battle with the Tiangong lies in the word 'entanglement'. Bai Ziqi has methods and resilience. Only if your sect is harder and more resilient than him can you stand in an invincible position."
He didn't say they could win, only "not defeated".
Xiao Wencheng nodded: "I have my own calculations."
At this time, Elder Liu patted the Haoyuan Golden Mirror and said the destination of this trip:
"Yu Village."
The Haoyuan Golden Mirror showed Yu Village, and the screen zoomed in.
It had been delayed for too long, so everyone lifted their legs and jumped in.
Also just as they were passing through the mirror, no one knew that the divine bone necklace hidden in He Lingchuan's lapel shone faintly.
……
The feeling of passing through the mirror was very wonderful. First, there was a chill, as if thick water mist was rushing toward his face, followed by a sense of weightlessness of stepping into the air.
He Lingchuan also saw that the surrounding scenery was distorted, colorful, like an overturned palette.
But the strange phenomenon and strange feeling only lasted for two breaths. When the light around him recovered, he found himself standing in a forest.
The branches and leaves of the forest land weren't dense, and looking up, he could still see the cloud layer in the sky.
Hearing a few squeaks, his sudden appearance frightened the fat mouse that was picking up fallen fruits on the ground.
This gray mouse ran away in a flash, swearing dirty words in its mouth.
It was exceptionally quiet all around, and he didn't see Elder Liu, Mother Zhu, Dong Rui, or the Illusion Sect disciples who entered the mirror together. He Lingchuan walked a few steps, and the leaves on the ground rustled under his feet: "Where is this?"
Shouldn't the Haoyuan Golden Mirror have sent him to the designated location, which was Yu Village? ===== CHAPTER 1753 =====
