Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 616 - This Is a Scary Place
Qin Shan stared at the figure of Hua Xinglun who was slowly disappearing in the distance. Right now, all the Mine Workers had already regained their composure and entered their respective tents. But that calmness was a far-fetched thing, they deliberately hid their excitement so as not to look suspicious in front of other Mining Groups in Area B.
Keep in mind, a mid-grade Deity Crystal as small as a thumb was already a rare item. Moreover, it was a large hunk of middle-class Deity Crystals, if another Mining Group knew of this then there would definitely be a fierce battle.
“Do you know how valuable the Deity Crystals you brought? With such a big crystal you can even buy such an abundant Glimpsing Age Pill that you can last for thousands of years here!” said a tall man who was near Qin Shan, he was Liu Wuzhao.
Qin knew how precious the Godly Crystal was, yet was exchanging it for a few Pills comparable? Qin Shan questioned this matter to Liu Wuzhao with a puzzled expression.
“It seems, you really got lost until you ended up trapped in this Mine. I'll explain some really scary things to you about this place.” Liu Wuzhao shook his head helplessly and felt sympathy for Qin Shan.
Liu Wuzhao explained that the people who worked in this Tortoise God Territory Mine were fugitives from the Immortal World. In the past they had all committed a crime and were eventually caught by the Celestial Court and sentenced to death. Just before the time of execution arrives, the defendants will be given two options. Continuing the execution process, or sent to the Tortoise God Territory to mine the Deity Crystals. Most of the defendants of course chose to stay alive and spend the rest of their lives working in the Mine. It's much better than a death that's pitch black.
The arrival of Qin Shan was one of the strange events that had occurred in the history of the Tortoise God Territory Mine. These people like Qin Shan were not a fugitive of the Immortal World sent to the Mine, but rather they were naturally lost!
“The Tortoise God Territory Mine is not a place for living beings like us to live. This place is really very evil and will slowly erode your Dao Pillar. That is why we need the Glimpsing Age Pill to stay alive and survive in this place.” Liu Wuzhao explained in great detail to Qin Shan.
Liu Wuzhao also added, that one had to work hard at this place just to exchange ten thousand low-grade Deity Crystals for a Glimpsing Age Pill. For them this is not an opportunity to continue living, but to make their lives more tormented!
Imagine that every year one's Dao eroded in this place, if that person managed to survive for a mere few thousand years, then his True Dao lost strength! In the world of cultivation, there was nothing more terrifying than losing the True Dao!
When hearing all these explanations, Qin Shan's face became increasingly dark. This place is hell. No matter what happened, he had to get out of this place as quickly as possible, otherwise his True Daonya would suffer a setback.
“Although, the ugliness in this place is inversely proportional to the benefits of the Crystal of Deity.” Liu Wuzhao said and his gloomy expression has been replaced with a slightly calmer expression.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan became very interested in hearing it. “What kind of benefits does the Crystal of Deity give to a cultivator like us?” qin Shan asked impatiently.
Liu Wuzhao glanced at Qin Shan's enthusiastic expression and he quietly chuckled. “In the Immortal World, the Crystal of Deity is indeed used as currency. But the true benefit is that these Crystals can help the divine formation process of a Heavenly Monarch. So it was no wonder those people from the Ou family would be willing to purchase a large amount of Deity Crystals in the future. They will actually soon have an Expert at the Heavenly Monarch stage!” Liu Wuzhao explained excitedly.
Qin Shan who heard this was speechless and felt that everything in this Immortal World was truly extraordinary. An Immortal Emperor alone was rarely seen in the Immortal World, let alone a Heavenly Monarch who was in the process of forming an apotheosis. It seemed that, the Ou family in the future would become a very influential family in the Immortal World. This fact made Qin Shan even more eager to become part of the Ou family.
“There is still less than a hundred years before the people from the Ou family come to the Mine. Before that time came, I had to collect an enormous amount of Divine Crystals to give to the Ou family. Only then did my chance to join the Ou family grow higher.” a passionate desire in Qin Shan's heart began to grow.
Qin Shan did have the principle that he would reach for power with his own hands. But, that does not mean he has to continue to rely on himself from various situations. There are times when he will need someone's help to become stronger. And this was true for the entire cultivator for eternity.
…
After waiting for a few more days, Qin Shan had finally obtained his mining license from Ou Zhang. As usual, this person still had a bad temper like the last time he met. However, Qin Shan did not bother about it too much, he only cared about the license to mine it now.
“According to the explanation of Hua Xinglun and Liu Wuzhao, I will be able to go mining at will after obtaining this jade seal.” Qin Shan stared at his mining license which was in the form of a jade seal. Then, his gaze was then directed at the silver shovel that was in his bulkhead.
During these few days of being in this camp, Qin Shan had already learned the mining techniques that Hua Xinglun and Liu Wuzhao had taught him. Qin Shan at first did not know that the silver shovel could be used for anything other than shoveling the ground.
The silver shovel was a magical treasure of chaos level that was not meant for fighting. Nevertheless, this spade still had great power, a Venerable Immortal would probably lose his head when attacked using this spade. In addition, this shovel can also change shape into a pickaxe used for mining. Now, it was only then that Qin Shan felt that this place was truly a mine.
Qin Shan then took his silver shovel and immediately went out of the tent to greet his comrades. Outside the tent, Qin Shan saw that there were two people following Liu Wuzhao from behind. He naturally recognized them, they were Chu Liyan and Ye Zhan.
The three of them wronged Qin Shan respectfully and invited him to go to the Unexplored Area and mine the Deity Crystals there.
“Greetings, Friends Dao Liu, Chu, and Ye. Right, I did just get my mining license. I think it's a good time to go mining.” Qin Shan returned the greetings of his comrades and agreed to follow them away mining.
After all, the most important thing for the current Qin Shan was to obtain some Glimpsing Age Pills to survive and prepare a large amount of Godly Crystals to give to the Ou family in the future.
