Qi Tian certainly did not want to be an incomplete County Master. As soon as he took office, he would seize all the power that should have belonged to him. Initially, he had adopted a laissez-faire mindset, planning to put most of his efforts into his own cultivation. However, after taking office, he discovered that both Lubei County and the overall situation of the Great Zhao Nation had undergone drastic changes. Furthermore, these changes were developing in a direction extremely unfavorable to him and the Imperial Master Mansion.

If Qi Tian wished, he could have detached himself from the vortex of Great Zhao. All he needed to do was return to Wanjie City and ignore the affairs of the cultivation world in Great Zhao. Even if they were beating their brains out, he could just stand by and watch. But Qi Tian did not do that, by nature, he was not one to back off in the face of difficulty. If the situation proved stronger than man, he would choose to retire temporarily. But given the situation in Great Zhao, if he was willing to put in effort, he could potentially change the situation and saw no reason to withdraw. Moreover, even considering past instances where Qi Tian chose to retreat, in the end, he always reclaimed what was his and went after the interest.

Qi Tian’s plan this time was straightforward. Since the Guardian National Master Manor had set their sights on the spiritual stone veins in Lubei County and had taken the first step, extracting many spirit stones from the vein, Qi Tian intended to rigorously sever the manor’s desires. He planned to thoroughly mine out and exhaust this vein of spirit stones, leaving not a single piece for the Guardian National Master Manor.

For anyone else to accomplish this, it would be unimaginably difficult. Even the powerful organization of the Guardian National Master Manor, with a Gold Core level powerhouse in residence, chose to seal off the mine and temporarily retreat with Qi Tian’s advance. The Master of the Guardian National Master Manor must be tied up with other affairs and temporarily unable to guard the spirit stone vein here. No one else can stop Qi Tian, giving him an excellent window of opportunity.

From a technical perspective, with his Innate Spirit Treasure Level mining shovel, Qi Tian could dig immensely in the spirit stone veins that Wanjie Commerce had occupied in the Spirit Stone Secret Realm. Today, Qi Tian has several storage bags in the storage room of his Heavenly Dao Engine, filled with spirit stones. These are all dug out in the Spirit Stone Secret Realm with his Innate Spirit Treasure Level mining shovel.

This time, Qi Tian plans to recreate his prosperous mining scene where he intends to singlehandedly mine out the entire vein of spirit stones underground, completely discontinuing the fantasies of the Guardian National Master Manor in the future. Additionally, with all the spirit stones dug up and in his possession, Qi Tian would have the initiative; whether he uses them himself in the future or leaves them for the Imperial Master Mansion, it would be an abundant wealth of cultivation resources. He can save a lot of trouble, immensely increase his self-sufficiency, and significantly reduce dependence on the outside world, leading to better development in the future.

Qi Tian tasked Pan Yulin, Wang Shuqing, and others to guard the periphery while he set up a concealed array at the original mine location to shield himself and a large area around him, preventing external prying eyes.

Then, with Hu Niu guarding the perimeter, Qi Tian took out his Innate Spirit Treasure Level mining shovel and began digging on the spot.

Qi Tian was well-practiced in this. In no time, he had dug through the hard rock, reaching several kilometers underground, and excavated the first Low Grade spirit stone.

Qi Tian didn’t rush to mine more Low Grade spirit stones, he didn’t lack them. The quantity of Low Grade spirit stones he had was measured in “billions”. Even if he completely mined out this spirit stone vein, it might not yield as many stones as he currently had. He opened his Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing for Spirit Qi to firstly determine the distribution of the spirit stone vein, that is, its direction, how long it is, how wide it is north to south, and how thick it is top to bottom.

However, when Qi Tian received the feedback image from the Heavenly Dao Engine, he was quite surprised. This spirit stone vein was unexpectedly vast, beyond the scope of the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing range, in terms of both length and width, as well as thickness.

Without moving, Qi Tian started digging downwards, sensing downwards as he dug. After he had dug another approximately three thousand meters down, he sensed the bottom boundary of the spirit stone vein. Then, he began digging horizontally, this time digging much further, nearly ten kilometers, before sensing the boundary of the spirit stone vein. He also dug in other directions, regardless of whether it was east, south, west, or north, they all extended very far, especially to the east, which extended over thirty miles, finally sensing the boundary of the spirit stone vein.

A rough calculation would reveal that the distribution of this vein was incredibly vast. In terms of vein area and volume, it was the largest Qi Tian had ever seen in his life. However, it was unfortunate that this spirit stone vein was only a low-level vein, reflecting two points. The first was that all the spirit stones here were Low Grade spirit stones. At least, within all areas where Qi Tian had sensed with the Heavenly Dao Engine, he had not discovered a single Middle-grade spirit stone. Moreover, even among the Low Grade spirit stones, less than thirty percent were of high quality, the remaining were mediocre or lower quality Low Grade spirit stones. The second point was that the distribution of Low Grade spirit stones in this vein was sparse. For each unit of stone mined, only about one Low-grade spirit stone could be found, the rest were all worthless waste stones. This was basically the state of the entire vein; even in the border areas, one might need to mine two to three units of stone to find a single Low Grade spirit stone.
