Holding a 3-meter-long impact drill, Ling Chong confidently shouted, "Let me give it a try!" Everyone looked and saw that Ling Chong's body was filled with powerful Yuan Qi fluctuations, and he was actually a 9-star Nascent Soul stage expert.
The junior leader in charge of recruiting militia immediately became interested, and Wang Xi, the senior leader standing next to him, also glanced at him sideways.
With zero energy mobilized, he gripped the 3-meter-long impact drill and plunged it downwards! With a crisp "crack," cracks appeared in the incredibly hard, dark yellow rock, and the impact drill pierced nearly a meter deep.
Everyone stared in disbelief, Ling Chong was smug, and Wang Xi laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! Guards, give them a reward!"
The surrounding militiamen all looked on with envy!
The leader, Wang Xi, presented a plate of mineral crystals to Ling Chong, saying, "I've been in charge of organizing the army for mining for many years! I've never seen anyone as strong as you! Even I can only drive this impact drill 0.8 meters deep into the Xuanhuang boulder! But you can drive it in 1 meter. A master like you is perfect for mining!"
Lingchong accepted the mineral crystal, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for the reward, leader! Leader, your rewards and punishments are fair and just. I will do my utmost to serve you!"
Wang Xi smiled and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"
Lingchong dared not reveal his real name, so he made up a story: "I am Kejin! I am from Huangjia Village and have been learning martial arts at Laojun Mountain since I was a child! The one next to me is my junior brother, Kegan. My brother and I have run out of money, so we came here to earn some pocket money!"
Wang Xi laughed and said, "So you are a worthy disciple of Lao Jun Mountain! In that case, let your junior brother give it a try! However, I see that your junior brother only has the cultivation of the first star of the Nascent Soul stage, which may not meet our requirements."
Ling Chong laughed and said, "As everyone knows, the martial arts of Lao Jun Mountain are renowned for their strength! All disciples of Lao Jun Mountain have a strength value that is much higher than that of ordinary people! You know these leaders! Although my junior brother is only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, his explosive power is astonishing! The leaders will surely be satisfied!"
Wang Xi nodded and said, "The disciples of Lao Jun Mountain are indeed exceptionally strong! Alright! Then let your junior brother give it a try!"
Lin Caogen found it amusing!
He picked up a three-meter-long impact drill and used 30% of his strength to stab it into the giant black and yellow rock!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, when a crisp cracking sound rang out!
A deep hole was blasted into the Yanhuang Flame, and the rock mass was instantly covered with cracks.
"Holy crap! It's 0.8 meters deep! That's incredible!"
Wang Xi nodded and laughed, "Your junior brother is really something! With only a Nascent Soul stage cultivation level of one star, he can drill a 0.8-meter-deep hole in the Xuanhuang boulder, and the surrounding area is quite fractured! He's definitely a skilled miner! There are 100 mines in my jurisdiction! Among them, mine number 56 is of utmost importance! The Xuanhuang boulder inside is both large and hard! You two should go to mine number 56 to do your work! The wages there will be higher!"
Lin Caogen and Ling Chong immediately bowed and thanked the chief, Wang Xi.
After resting briefly in the militia tent, the two were urged to take the impact drill and go down into the No. 56 mine!
Lin Caogen's blood was boiling with excitement!
He could vaguely sense the Yanhuang Flame below him!
This No. 56 mine shaft is 1,000 meters deep and ten meters in diameter! Inside the shaft, seven or eight people are constantly hammering at the colossal black rock, and someone is using bamboo baskets to pull up the broken pieces of the black rock!
Lin Caogen said to Ling Chong, "Brother! Keep it up!"
Lingchong nodded and started digging the mine with Lin Caogen!
Lin Caogen forcefully inserted the impact drill into the colossal black rock, immediately attracting the attention of several imperial soldiers nearby!
"Wow! You've got incredible strength! You rammed that pole in a meter and a half deep!"
A soldier standing nearby exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing Lin Caogen's incredible strength!
Lin Caogen realized he had been too excited!
He laughed, "I just happened to insert it into a vulnerable spot; it was just good luck!"
The soldier, wearing a headlamp, said, "I knew it! Your cultivation is weaker than mine! How could you possibly have so much strength? Let's get back to work! We've been working all day, it's time for a break!"
After saying that, the soldiers flew out of the mine to have a drink! Now, only Lin Caogen and Ling Chong remained inside the mine!
Zero Charge said, "Brother! What do we do now? I feel an intense heat below! It might be hollow down there!"
After observing the surroundings, Lin Caogen said, "I estimate we're still about 300 meters away from the hollow area below. I do have an idea."
Zero-charge hurriedly said, "Brother, tell me quickly!"
Lin Caogen looked at the three-meter-long impact drill in his hand and said, "My soul power is now very strong, making me the strongest soul master in this Three Rings Continent! So, under the protection of my soul power, no one can discover that I am carrying a celestial mansion! Brother, when you enter my celestial mansion, I will use my soul power to control this impact drill to keep drilling down. After drilling a hole, I will control the celestial mansion to turn into dust and go directly into the hole."
Zero nodded and said, "Only you, brother, can do this! My soul power is less than one-tenth of yours! I absolutely cannot do this!"
Lin Caogen smiled and used all his strength to plunge the impact drill downwards! The three-meter-long impact drill was completely driven into the Xuanhuang boulder in two strokes!
Then Lin Caogen released his pure soul power to envelop the impact drill!
The impact drill began to slowly rotate, and the giant yellow rock kept cracking and breaking!
The drill bit kept going down, and the three-centimeter-diameter hole became deeper and deeper!
Lin Caogen's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. Seeing this, Ling Chong couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, you're truly a god! If I had your powerful soul force, I could kill even a peak 5th-tier Immortal Spirit expert!"
