"Well, if the higher-ups say it's okay, then it's fine."
…
The unexpected happened. Many representatives from the sacred mountains came to Haifan City together, and the answer they got was that Ma Yue was not interested. A mid-grade spirit stone? You are not interested?
Ma Yue said very bluntly that the Hai tribe did not have much food in stock, as they had not yet harvested anything in the summer. Even if that little food stock could last until the autumn harvest, most people in the Hai tribe would still go hungry.
"Is he a spiritual cultivator?" After returning to the Sea God City, a group of messengers from the Divine Mountain complained endlessly. Such a good opportunity to obtain mid-grade spirit stones was rejected by the charlatan of the Sea Tribe for the sake of food for his people.

"Now, let's talk about what to do. The spirit stone mine has been closed for a long time. Those guys are hungry and don't work at all." The number of fish in the basket is limited. How much meat can we get if we divide it? Besides, there's not even any salt.
The most crucial thing is that the Thunder God City region missed the spring plowing. With no food production for a year, what about next year, let alone this year? They'll need massive food aid. Which tribe can handle it? They can't even afford the wealthiest Sea Tribe, so how can you expect to find another large tribe?
To support one miner on average, you need to pay for the food produced by the labor of several workers. In other words, you need 800 miners to dig the spirit stone mine. In the Leishen City area, you need about three times as many people to farm in order to feed these 800 extra miners.
