The Flying Cloud Boat sped forward above the clouds, like a rainbow piercing the sun.
In less than half a day, we had already traversed tens of thousands of miles and finally arrived at the Yunshan mining area.
The Flying Cloud Boat descended from the sky and landed on a huge training ground, which was the Demon Slayer Guard's base in the mining area.
The entire mining area is located in a mountainous region, covering an area of over a thousand miles, and is shrouded in a large array.
It appears ordinary, but it actually harbors deadly intent.
Lin Xuan had used his Qi-observation ability to check once before, and he was almost blinded by the overwhelming killing intent.
The entire mining area was like a ferocious beast that had evolved from murderous intent.
It possesses the power to devour heaven and earth.
"Holy crap, this place is way too terrifying! Is that Purple Cloud Golden Elixir really that valuable?"
Lin Xuan was puzzled, feeling that things were not so simple.
After he and Qiu Huaitao and the others got off the flying cloud boat, someone immediately came to meet them.
These things were none of Lin Xuan's concern; his current status was simply that of a common soldier.
About an hour later.
Qiu Huaitao returned, holding a deployment map in his hand, and said to everyone, "The mission has been assigned."
Our team's mission is to guard Mine No. 19.
The entire Yunshan mining area has a total of thirty-six mine shafts, and mine shaft number nineteen is located in the mining area..."
After Qiu Huaitao's explanation, Lin Xuan finally had a general understanding of the mining area.
At the same time, he also discovered a major problem.
Each Demon Slayer Guard has its own designated area to guard the mining region.
Unless there are special circumstances, one cannot leave this area without permission, unless... one joins a patrol team.
Holy crap!
Lin Xuan realized that he had been taking things too for granted.
I thought that once I entered the Yunshan mining area, I would have a chance to find the location of the Taichu Dao Palace's mountain gate. Now I can't even leave my post without permission, let alone look for the Taichu Dao Palace.
Dream on.
"A miscalculation!"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, a glint of shrewdness in them, and muttered to himself, "No, I have to find a way to infiltrate the patrol team."
Only patrol teams have the right to inspect the entire mining area and move freely.
Looks like I'll have to use my trump card again.
However, this matter cannot be rushed. Let's keep a low profile for now and investigate the situation in the Yunshan mining area first..."
Lin Xuan thought to himself.
At this time, Qiu Huaitao had already assigned the tasks.
After arranging accommodations for everyone, he immediately led them to Mine No. 19, as it was almost time for the shift change.
This is a truly hectic life. I don't even have time to rest after arriving; I have to start working immediately.
Even capitalists would weep upon seeing this.
Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he followed Qiu Huaitao straight to Mine No. 19, his eyes subtly surveying the surroundings.
He always felt that something was different about the Yunshan mining area.
An atmosphere of chilling desolation permeated the air.
It was as if even the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. This didn't look like a mining area; it looked more like a battlefield.
Mine No. 19 was not far from the base, about a hundred miles away.
In less than an hour, Lin Xuan and the others arrived.
It's called a mine, but it's actually a deep abyss that stretches for more than ten miles and is bottomless; it looks terrifying.
But at this moment, there were at least several thousand miners riding ladders up and down.
Truckloads of ore were delivered.
Lin Xuan noticed that these miners were all emaciated and had blank expressions.
They are like walking corpses.
However, Lin Xuan saw a trace of fear in the eyes of these people.
Especially when they went down into the mine, the fear in their eyes was even more pronounced, as if there was some great terror down there.
"Is that Purple Cloud Radiant Gold? I've heard it's extremely precious, even more precious than gold..."
Some people stared at the mine carts going up and down, their eyes filled with greed.
"Fool, that's ore. It has to be refined and processed before you can get Purple Cloud Gold. Don't be fooled by how big this mine cart is. After it's really refined, it'll probably only yield less than an ounce of Purple Cloud Gold."
"Holy crap, no way! Such a huge truckload and they can't even extract an ounce? That's way too little!"
"Young... Hmph, you don't know anything. Purple Cloud Radiant Gold is extremely precious. On the black market, one tael of Purple Cloud Radiant Gold can be exchanged for at least one thousand taels of gold. Do you still think it's not enough?"
"My God, this thing is so valuable. If we could get ten or eight kilograms of it, wouldn't we be rich?"
Why bother being a demon-slaying guard? You could just lie down and live the rest of your life in peace.
......
Everyone immediately got excited, staring at the truckloads of ore and drooling. In their eyes, this was no ordinary ore, it was gold!
"Shut up, all of you!"
Qiu Huaitao's eyes were unfriendly as he glanced at the group and said coldly, "Purple Cloud Golden Splendor is a forbidden item of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
Each truckload of ore has a dedicated inspector; if any of you dare to have any bad intentions...
"Without the imperial court even lifting a finger, I will exterminate your entire clan..."
As he spoke, Qiu Huaitao's eyes blazed with icy killing intent, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by at least twenty degrees out of nowhere.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill run through their bodies.
Many people lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qiu Huaitao. These people were indeed tempted by greed, thinking of finding an opportunity to get some Ziyun Xuanjin to sell on the black market.
Now, after Qiu Huaitao's rebuke, they were all terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
