Chapter 538: Chapter 0364: Lack of High-End Combat Power Chapter 538: Chapter 0364: Lack of High-End Combat Power Chapter 0364 The Lack of High-End Power

Following Qi Tian’s announcement of the revenue share of the underground spirit stone mining operation, three hundred miners selected begin to work on the path dug by Qi Tian, extending to the surroundings and commencing the extraction of spirit stones.

Qi Tian assured everyone that the underground spirit stone vein was incredibly abundant, and he moved the entire Imperial Master Mansion to Lubei County with his own power, disregarding the objections of all others, and abandoning a foundation that had been built over hundreds of years.

Although the Master and Elders of the Imperial Master Mansion knew that Qi Tian was unlikely to joke about the reserves of the spirit stone, they still held some doubts in absence of actual proof.

Those miners who went down on the first day bore a very important task, which was to verify Qi Tian’s claims. If Qi Tian’s assessment of the overall reserves of the spirit stone vein was correct, it could effectively eliminate the dissatisfaction among disciples regarding Qi Tian’s forced relocation. Everyone could then settle down and start constructing their new home meticulously with high standards and high quality, instead of complaining and refusing to work hard. The result would not be the loss of the old and non-construction of the new home.

All three hundred miners went down to the mine, and began to excavate the spirit stone vein at intervals of an average of one hundred meters. After being busy underground for a whole day, they gradually emerged from the spirit stone vein. These miners were carefully selected and their loyalty to the Imperial Master Mansion was doubtless, and they had no reservations about turning over all excavated spirit stones. Each miner had their share, some had three or five stones, others had one or two.

Although this seemed a small amount, the total gain from three hundred miners exceeded a thousand stones. Prior to today, the entire Imperial Master Mansion could not even have gathered a thousand low-grade spirit stones even after a whole year’s effort. This meant that the achievements of three hundred miners in one day surpassed the annual yield of the Imperial Master Mansion.

With three hundred miners spaced out at one hundred meters each, the mining line extended more than thirty miles. The amount of spirit stones that could be extracted from such a long mining line was unimaginable. It was estimated to contain at least hundreds of millions of spirit stones.

All the Masters and Elders of the Imperial Master Mansion who previously had doubts about Qi Tian became enthusiastic about his claim.

For a long time, the Imperial Master Mansion had been extremely short of cultivation resources, and many disciples with potential were stuck at certain levels without making progress. The Great Elder Chen Chen and the Master of Heavenly Eagle Hall Luo Xia had the same problem. Even the Mansion Master, Xiao Xiaowu, was helpless in this regard. Although Xiao Xiaowu had some resources, they were barely sufficient for his own requirements and those of the most critical parts of the Imperial Master Mansion. He simply could not afford to provide resources to so many disciples and followers, and often had to turn a blind eye.

Now, with the spirit stone vein, although it could not completely solve the problem of resource shortage for everyone in the Imperial Master Mansion, it could greatly alleviate this problem to a large extent, and there could be more opportunities for the followers and disciples to stand out.

From this perspective, Qi Tian’s contribution to the Imperial Master Mansion was akin to giving it a new lease of life.

Almost all the Masters and Elders could not sit still. Many of them were stuck at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and believed that this was due to the lack of cultivation resources. Now that the spirit stone vein was abundant and right in front of them, they went to Qi Tian one after another, requesting permission to go mining.

“Qi Tian, please give us a chance. Let us go mining too,” pleaded an elder with white hair, quietly, demeaning himself to Qi Tian.

This Elder, Lin Zhisheng, was quite old, over a hundred years. The Great Elder, Chen Chen, was his junior, and he had been stuck at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for over ninety years. If he could not breakthrough, his lifespan would not last much longer.

Looking at Lin Zhisheng, Qi Tian said sympathetically, but resolutely: “I hereby announce a rule, effective immediately, all Elders, Masters, and anyone else who enjoys the same treatment as those of the Golden Eagle Hall and Kunpeng Hall, are not allowed to enter the spirit stone mine. You should be attending to more important matters than mining. We’ve just relocated and there is a lot of work to be done. Don’t we need to supervise the construction? Especially now that we monopolize this spirit stone vein, isn’t it imperative for you to focus on your cultivation and improve your strength, rather than wanting to dig mines and grab spirit stones? Does that help enhance the overall strength of the Imperial Master Mansion?”

Lin Zhisheng said, “I am now at a dead end. If I want to move forward, the only way is to accumulate enough spirit stones and then push forward. Only in this way, is there a possibility of success.”

Qi Tian replied, “Elder Lin, don’t blame me for being blunt. At your age, your development has basically reached a bottleneck. If you want to breakthrough, the resources you will need are substantial, and success is not guaranteed. Have you thought about it, if you don’t use these resources, how many excellent successors can the Imperial Master Mansion gain? Using the same cultivation resources, they have a great chance to reach a much higher level than you.”
