Chapter 61: Investigate the Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Shen Daoming’s words, Shen Ruyan spoke first.
“Other than us, is there anyone else who knows about the mine?”
This question put a solemn expression on everyone’s face.
Indeed, the existence of this Crimson Gold Mine was very important and had to be strictly kept a secret.
Everyone was clearly aware of this.
Shen Daoming said, “So far, other than us, only Shen Anpei, who discovered the crimson gold mine, knows.
This kid is quite smart. After discovering the crimson gold mine, he did not go around shouting about it. Instead, he immediately reported to me.
I’ve already told him the importance of this matter. Without my permission, he won’t tell anyone else.”
“That’s good.”
Everyone nodded slightly.
Since the confidentiality of the mine was not a problem for the time being, the next thing was to figure out what to do with the mine.
Without a doubt, there was no reason for the Shen Immortal Family not to pocket such a huge sum of wealth.
Xu Qianhe said, “If I’m not wrong, such a red gold mine that has yet to be exploited will definitely be full of danger.
The first danger we have to be aware of is the Crimson Fire Fiend that occupied the crimson gold mine.
According to the size of the mine, the level of the fire fiends there should be above Level 2.
As for Level 3 Crimson Fire Fiends, unless the level of the Crimson Gold Mine has already reached mid size.
Otherwise, small and miniature Crimson Gold Mine will usually not give birth to Red Crimson Fire Fiends above Level 3.”
Hearing Xu Qianhe’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Shen Daoming said, ‘Tve already asked Shen Anpei. According to his description, I personally think that the size of that Crimson gold mine will be a small one at most.
It’s more likely that it’s just a miniature crimson gold mine.”
“A miniature mine?”
Everyone could not help but look relieved.
If it was only a miniature mine, with the current strength of the Shen Immortal Family, it should not be too difficult for them to take it all.
If it was a small one, it would probably take them a lot of effort.
As for the mid-sized mine, even with the Violet Palace Realm Ancestor, Shen Yuanlong, around, it would probably be quite difficult for the Shen Immortal Family to monopolize it.
“No matter what, the most important thing now is to go to that place and confirm it for ourselves.”
At this moment, Shen Rushuang spoke softly.
“It’s not too late for us to plan the next step after confirming the level of that mine.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
“Then, the problem now is who should go to check that place?”
Shen Daoming looked at everyone present.
The new Foundation Establishment Realm elder, Shen Daoyuan, said, “Why don’t you let me go? It just happened I don’t have anything particularly important on hand at the moment. It’s just investigating the situation. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Seeing that Shen Daoyuan took the initiative to volunteer, Shen Daoming did not refuse. He immediately nodded and said,
“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to Brother Daoyuan.
Remember, prioritize your safety. If anything happens, you must send us a message at once.”
“I will.”
Shen Daoyuan nodded.
A few days later.
Shen Daoyuan sent a message back, saying that he had confirmed that Shen Anpei’s description was correct. There was indeed a crimson gold mine there, and it was a miniature one.
However, although it was only a miniature crimson gold mine, according to Shen Daoyuan’s observation, it was already infinitely close to a small crimson gold mine.
He believed that in no time, that miniature crimson gold mine would transform into a small-sized one.
This news was undoubtedly very important to the current Shen Immortal Family.
Immediately, Shen Daoming summoned everyone for a meeting again.
He told everyone present what Shen Daoyuan had found out.
In the end, Shen Daoming said with a solemn expression,
“Since the situation has been roughly investigated, we have to start thinking of ways to obtain that mine.
When the time comes, I will personally lead a team into the mine with the family’s treasure, the Blue Sea Bell, just in case.”
The Blue Sea Bell that Shen Daoming mentioned was a Level 3 Dharma treasure placed in the ancestral hall. It was also one of weapons the Shen Immortal family relied on to survive in this cultivation world.
From this, it could be seen how much Shen Daoming valued this operation.
“In that case, I’ll go with you. If there’s a formation or something, I can more or less help break it.”
Xu Qianhe volunteered.
Hearing his words, Shen Daoming hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Ater they obtained the mine, they still needed Xu Qianhe to help set up some restrictions and arrays.
Firstly, it was to hide the existence of the mine. Secondly, it was to protect the mine from being stolen.
On the other side.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other before saying,
“Brother, we’ll go with you. While we are away, you just have to call Brother Yuanze over to keep watch in the base.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s words, Shen Daoming thought for a moment and nodded.
At this moment, he indeed needed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s help.
After all, as an alchemist, Shen Rushuang had to guard Splendid Jade Mountain.
Shen Daoyuan had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even if he went, he wouldn’t be of much help.
It was better to ask Shen Daoyuan to go to the White Jade Market to guard it for a few days while Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were away.
With the help of the array formation in the market, it shouldn’t be a problem for Shen Daoyuan to deal with whatever matter that emerged.
However, it seemed that the spiritual vein in Canyon City would be left unguarded after Xu Qianhe left.
With most Foundation Establishment Cultivators gone to the Ganyang Sect, the Shen Immortal Family was currently short-handed and there was nothing they could do about it.
Fortunately, as a high-grade Level 2 array master, Xu Qianhe should be able to leave a protective array before he left.
Thus, the candidates for this operation were decided.
The head of the family, a ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Shen Daoming, personally led the team to the miniature mine with Xu Qianhe, Jiang Chengxuan, and Shen Ruyan..
