Chapter 199: Long Panpan

Time flew by until night. Large batches of Gu Cultivators began to walk out of the mine tunnels. After eating the big pot meal, they walked into the small wooden houses that had just been built not long ago to rest.

Of course, there were also those who didn't walk out to rest. Some worked overnight inside, and some boldly slept in the mine tunnels, not fearing the dangers in the mine tunnels at all.

Those who didn't walk out of the mine tunnels included Long Qilin. In order to win the bet, he didn't intend to rest at all, preparing to pull an all-nighter, striving to dig out more Geng Metal.

Those who didn't leave also included Long Dan. His eyes were simply perverted; he could actually see through the flaws of the stones at a glance, easily finding the texture of the stones, and could cut the stones open without effort by following the texture.

So his mining efficiency was truly too high. In just one day, he had a rich harvest, bulging a small half of a storage bag. The Geng Metal crude ores he dug out were actually more than Long Qilin.

His lips curled up, and he also prepared to work overnight, digging for more Geng Metal. Being lazy for a while would mean digging less Geng Metal. He was also fighting to dig away more Geng Metal.

As for Long Ruoxue and Long Panpan, these two girls had little strength and insufficient physical strength. The Geng Metal crude ores they dug were not many, and instead, they were exhausted until they were out of breath, and their hands were worn out with blisters. They could only walk out exhausted, find their own wooden houses, go in to rest, and fight again tomorrow.

However, this clever ghost Long Panpan was used to being lazy and taking advantage. She didn't want to do this kind of tiring physical work at all. Don't look at her cute appearance; in fact, she was not a fuel-saving lamp, and she was the most insidious here, and full of bad water.

She didn't sleep in the middle of the night and actually started thinking of crooked ideas again.

She suddenly thought, why must she dig for mines herself? There were so many miners inside. Wouldn't it be good to let them dig for mines for herself? At worst, she would use things to exchange for the Geng Metal crude ores in their hands.

One had to know that all the Geng Metal crude ores dug out by miners did not belong to the miners themselves. No matter how much was dug out, it all had to be handed over.

It was just that more work meant more gain. The more Geng Metal crude ores dug, the more contribution rewards the family would give.

So Geng Metal could be sold for a sky-high price outside, but it was cheap in the hands of miners.

She was enough to trade away massive amounts of Geng Metal crude ores from the hands of miners at a very low cost.

As long as the remuneration she gave was higher than the contribution rewards they could exchange for, it would be fine.

And no matter how many Geng Metal crude ores she had in her hands, they could all not be handed over. After one month, she was enough to carry massive amounts of Geng Metal crude ores home. She simply earned a fortune this wave.

Long Panpan's lips curled into a sweet smile, and then she entered a deep dream. Even the appearance of falling asleep had a smile hanging on her face, not knowing what kind of beautiful dream she was having.

Long Xuan didn't know at all that Long Panpan was going to be insidious again. He also didn't choose to go outside to rest in the small wooden house.

Instead, he found a position that was not easy to detect, dug out a small cave, hid inside, put down a bed inside, and lay on it to rest.

However, he was not really resting at this time. As soon as he closed his eyes, he began to use the Original Realm he had already prepared, and couldn't wait to go to that mine tunnel marked with an X to take risks.

Specifically which mine tunnel marked with an X led to the ancient cultivator's cave abode, actually Long Xuan already had the answer in his heart.

Because the more complex things were, the slower the Original Realm copied them. The ancient cultivator's cave abode had heaven-defying heavy treasures; how could it be so easy to copy?

When sensing where the Original Realm copied slowly, Long Xuan could almost be certain where the ancient cultivator's cave abode was hidden.

After he entered the Original Realm, he went straight to that mine tunnel marked with an X.

Because no matter how he messed around in the illusion, he wouldn't die, so even if he knew it was very dangerous inside, he didn't walk cautiously, instead running wildly inside, rushing toward the deepest part of this mine tunnel at the fastest speed.

Actually, this mine tunnel really didn't have any danger anymore. Those three Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators of the Bai Clan had entered here who knew how many times. Even if there was any danger, it had long been excluded by them.

Plus he had countless lives in the illusion, so Long Xuan was even more unscrupulous, waving wildly.

Not long after, Long Xuan rushed to the end. After bumping into a barrier, he was shaken away by the barrier, only then stopping his steps, raising his head, and looking at this great array with burning eyes.

With the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, breaking arrays was his specialty.

His field in array formation had long since not been at the novice level. He was an array master who had successfully set up a peerless fierce array. His array formation attainments were so high that few people in this region could compare to him.

So he really had no problem breaking this array, and his array-breaking speed was far too much faster than those few Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators of the Bai Clan. Although they had many people, how could they compare to someone who opened a cheat?

However, this was after all an array left by an ancient cultivator. Many array knowledge had already exceeded the scope of what he had learned, involving his knowledge blind spot, so it was impossible for him to break this array in seconds.

He would have to explore for a few days, figure out those array knowledge he didn't understand, and breaking the array would be a matter of course. He couldn't be anxious at all.

But even so, his array-breaking speed was still faster than those few Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators of the Bai Clan.

Without accidents, before those Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators of the Bai Clan broke the array, Long Xuan already knew how to break this array in the illusion.

This night, Long Xuan broke the array in the illusion, those Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators of the Bai Clan secretly sneaked over to break the array at night, and Long Panpan was thinking of crooked ideas. Everyone had their own ghosts, and the night passed silently like this.

Long Panpan rushed out of the small wooden house excitedly. After quickly eating a few steamed buns and drinking a bowl of porridge, she rushed toward the mine tunnel full of energy.

Seeing her working so actively, the three Long Clan overseers smiled at each other. It was just that they didn't know if they would still be able to laugh if they knew what Long Panpan was about to do.

As soon as Long Panpan rushed into the mine tunnel, she began to implement the plan she had thought of overnight.

She wasn't stupid. She knew this matter couldn't be greedy, and couldn't be done on a large scale. Otherwise, if she took down half of the Geng Metal crude ores, it would be strange if the overseers outside didn't notice the problem.

So she only prepared to take one-tenth, and only looked for clever people to do this business. That kind of timid and honest person shouldn't be looked for; otherwise, they would reveal a guilty expression as soon as they saw the overseer, and it would be strange if they didn't reveal the stuffing.

Just like this, while others were working hard, Long Panpan was lazy and didn't work, wandering around, screening partners who could trade long-term.

Those she found, without exception, all happily agreed to this transaction.

Digging for mines was a matter of luck. How much was dug every day had no fixed number. Secretly sending out a few pieces of Geng Metal crude ores in the cave would absolutely not attract the attention of the overseers.

Why not do things without much risk? Who would have trouble with money?

Just like this, the storage bag at Long Panpan's waist gradually bulged, and her smile began to grow more and more intense.

As her range of activities grew wider and wider, sometimes she would accidentally mistake the dusty Long Xuan and almost speak out her plan.

However, after a period of time, she was confused. Wasn't Long Xuan in the West Mine District? How did he suddenly appear in the South Mine District again?

Did she see wrong, or were her eyes dazzled? Long Panpan blinked, looking dazed.

Soon, ten days passed. This liver-emperor Long Qilin actually didn't rest for a day, livering inside for ten days without sleeping or resting, digging away who knew how many Geng Metal crude ores.

But no matter how he livered, no matter how capable he was, he didn't dig as much as Long Dan. Long Dan's eyes could observe the weak points of the stones, thereby shattering the stones with one strike. The mining efficiency was truly too high. Even if Long Qilin stayed up late every day, he couldn't compare.

Long Panpan didn't even need to be mentioned. She was lazy and took advantage, plucking the wool of the Western Lands Long Clan, and simply plucked away one-tenth of the Geng Metal output of the entire mine vein.

But this giant greedy person Long Panpan was really a small witch compared to Long Xuan.

Not to mention Long Xuan using a pile of clones to dig for mines to cheat, he could also easily find the location of all Geng Metal crude ores, so his hammer never missed, and every move had a harvest.

He even simply rounded up the Geng Metal Essence here. Who could be as greedy as him?

Good fellow, under the joint hands of these few giant greedy people, it would be strange if the output of this mine vein didn't decrease significantly.

Letting those few giant greedy people in, the Western Lands Long Clan absolutely made the most wrong decision. Having such a few small bloodsuckers in the family, they were considered to have the worst luck for eight lifetimes.

This morning, Long Xuan finally broke the array of that ancient cultivator's cave abode in the illusion. His lips curled up, revealing a proud smile.

Don't look at him breaking the array in the illusion for ten nights. Now that he already knew the method to break the array, it wouldn't take much time to break the array in reality.

He could break the cave-protecting array at any time now.

However, it was not urgent now. Let's see what treasures were in the cave abode first.

Long Xuan's eyes revealed excited brilliance. After breaking the external array in the illusion, he couldn't wait to rush toward the stone room.

After pushing open the door of the stone room, what came into view was a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground. Who knew what kind of big shot he was before he died, his majesty still remaining.

Long Xuan took a deep breath and walked into the stone room boldly.

Because it was in the illusion, he acted much more decisively, without the caution of the past.

He quickly checked this place. The stone room was very large and connected to many small secret rooms. Many treasures were placed on the shelves of the secret rooms, making people dazzled.

Unfortunately, the time of this cave abode was truly too long, causing the treasures here to have their spiritual power dissipated after the erosion of time. Most of them could no longer be used.

For example, spirit pills and spirit medicine had long since dissipated their spiritual power. Holding them in his hand would turn them into ash, blowing away at a blow.

The various spirit tools on the wooden shelves were even more rusty and had lost their spirituality.

What could be used were only some metals and some hard materials, making Long Xuan shout "what a pity."

Among the few usable treasures, the most valuable were a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood and three cultivation methods.

Looking at the only surviving spirit medicine in the secret room, Long Xuan revealed burning brilliance, his breathing growing more and more rapid.

In front of this treasure, he had to be excited. Soul Nourishing Wood was unique in the world, known as one of the three great spirit woods of this world.

Having this title meant that Soul Nourishing Wood was one of the three most heaven-defying spirit woods in this world. Its rarity could be imagined, and its value could be imagined.
