As they placed the zinc-iron ore into the mine cart, they used their spiritual power to carefully cut open the ore, revealing small pieces of something either fiery red or dark black inside.
After putting the items away, they fused the split zinc-iron ore back together and carried it back into the mine.
Bai Yusheng, Hao Yan, and Zhuang Shaoze are all native cultivators of the Maple Moon Continent.
With all cultivation resources controlled by the Zhou and Dongdan families, their understanding of rare and precious materials was extremely limited.
"What are these things that are growing inside zinc-iron ore?"
Bai Yusheng, Hao Yan, and Zhuang Shaoze did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from the two types of crystals, so they were not excited.
A tidal wave of emotions was already surging within Ji Fengyao's heart:
Divine-grade auxiliary materials for weapon crafting: Earth Flame Crystal and pure natural magic stone?
If zinc ore is the panacea in weapon forging, it can increase the chances of fusion between various materials;
The Earth Flame Crystal is a double-strength talisman used during weapon forging, which can double or even multiply the power of the finished weapon!
However, Earth Flame Crystals are born alongside Magic Crystals and are only commonly found in the deepest parts of the Demon Realm.
Humans and demons are sworn enemies, let alone interact or trade with each other, which is why Earth Flame Crystals are extremely rare in the human world.
Unexpectedly, the Maple Moon Continent actually produces Earth Flame Crystals. The Dongdan family has really struck it lucky!
No wonder they had to use zinc and iron ore to cover up their sneaky activities.
Ji Fengyao did not alert the enemy, and let the three of them continue to pretend to be on guard outside, while she went into the mine under the pretext of patrolling.
When entering the mine entrance.
Ji Fengyao felt as if she touched an invisible membrane. When the membrane sensed He Xiaotou's identity token on her body, there was a slight energy exchange between the two. After that, the membrane automatically parted to the sides, and she was able to enter smoothly.
The same was true for the other monks who mined.
Ji Fengyao suddenly realized why these cultivators moved so slowly when entering and leaving the cave; it turned out there was a high-level isolation formation here.
The person who set up this formation must be at least a Loose Immortal!
As a result, Ji Fengyao became even more composed and on high alert, lest anyone see through her disguise.
Even if she had encountered a rogue immortal in her previous life, she would have had to be careful, let alone now that she is only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
If she were to truly face that wandering immortal, she would be knocked out in less than ten rounds!
That high-level isolation formation not only served a defensive purpose, but also completely isolated the world inside and outside the cave.
After Ji Fengyao fully entered the cave, she clearly felt that the mine was filled with a large amount of pure demonic energy.
These demonic energies are like natural corrosives to cultivators, constantly eroding the spiritual power within their bodies.
The deeper you go into the mine, the denser the demonic energy in the air becomes.
Those cultivators with higher cultivation levels were alright; they could barely keep their expressions unchanged.
Those cultivators with lower cultivation levels could only enter the mine about ten meters before they could no longer stand and move forward.
This isn't mining for resources; it's trading your lifespan and future for resources!
"Hey, He Tou, how did you get to such a deep place? Aren't you afraid of being bedridden?" A cultivator dressed in a coarse blue robe came forward with a fawning expression and asked "He Tou" with concern.
Ji Fengyao then realized that she had been careless and had revealed a flaw:
With He Xiaotou's cultivation level, he definitely couldn't have gone this far, and he couldn't have resisted the demonic energy here!
