{3339 Royal Mining District, Fourth County of the Burning Heaven Kingdom}

"Ding ding~" The crisp sound of knocking continued to echo in the huge mine, and there were several old mining lamps hanging on the rock walls on all sides, and several figures appeared in the dim light, "Haochen, don't you kid know that you are tired? You dig more than three times as much iron ore as we do." A tall young man put down the chisel, sat on the ground, picked up the kettle next to him, and poured it a few sips. You Haochen stopped what he was doing when he heard this, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, turned to look at the young man and said with a smile: "Brother Ding, I don't know why, since I came to the mining area, I seem to be full of inexhaustible strength. The young man surnamed Ding shook his head with a smile when he heard this, thinking it was a joke. But in fact, what You Haochen said was indeed what he really felt. Although before he came to the mine, his strength was greater than that of his peers, but the big ones were also limited. Since You Haochen came to the mining area to look at himself and found the vision of the red spring gushing inside, everything has become different, not to mention his strength, his feelings have become more keen, and he can even vaguely feel the approximate location of the ore, although it is not accurate every time, but on the whole, it is not far from ten, which causes the amount of dark iron ore he has mined far exceeds that of others. This made You Haochen even more convinced that that was the source.

A few people next to him also stopped working and rested when they heard this. "Tomorrow we will finally enter the Source Stone Mine. A young man who looked very athletic said. "Yes, I've been digging in this dark iron mine for almost a year, and I've long wanted to change mining areas. And I've also heard that the weekly target for the source stone mine is only 5 kilograms, which is much less than the weekly target of 100 kilograms here. The young man surnamed Ding said. "You don't just look at the index, the source stone is a rare artifact, and only the mining volume here will be so large, and the weight specified in the mining area includes the stone skin, and the source stone obtained by really peeling off the stone skin is only a small part of the entire source ore, and according to the quality of the source stone, their value is also very different. Another young man, who is usually very inconspicuous, said. "How do you know this?" "Three generations of my family have been to this mine, but ......" "But what?" The young man hesitated for a moment, "But they all disappeared on the way home. "What, how could this be!" everyone was shocked, they never expected this to happen. You Haochen was also taken aback, and couldn't help but secretly think, "Could it have something to do with this source mine?" The young man paused and continued, "I came here to find their whereabouts. You have to be careful here, too. After he finished speaking, he looked at the few people around him who were pondering, and when You Haochen looked at him, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, this person must have something else that he hadn't said......

Early the next morning, the thirty or forty people who were selected walked into the automatic shaft ladder of the source stone mine under the leadership of the black-faced Fan Lao. This is also the work of the Xuanji Gate, as long as there is the support of the source stone or the transmission of the source power of the source master, it can be operated with everyone, it takes everyone to move underground, everyone is entering for the first time, and they can't help but be a little nervous, and they keep looking around along the way, but gradually they find that this is no different from the dark iron mine they worked in before except for the color of the shaft wall, and gradually relaxed. However, You Haochen didn't think like this, when he just arrived at the mouth of the mine, he had a feeling, he hurriedly and silently looked at the source, and found that the red water surface that had not moved for a long time was slightly rippled. Hao Chen was taken aback, and thought to himself: "The source ore is indeed the treasure that the monks dream of, just a little breath can make their source react, what if you absorb a piece...... Sure enough, the decision to stay at the risk was the right one. As the well ladder continued to fall, the fluctuations of the source became more and more intense, and You Haochen even faintly felt that it had a tendency to expand. Although he can't use the source power, that doesn't mean he can't expand the source. Since the source of the heart opened up, You Haochen has been quietly stimulating the source eye with his mind, so that it can actively absorb the source qi around him, after a few months of cultivation, although the area of his source has not changed, You Haochen clearly feels that it is constantly deepening.

Now, the source of oneself actually wants to automatically absorb the external source qi without one's deliberate control, just like a person who is extremely thirsty sees water. Of course, it was impossible for You Haochen to suppress it at this once-in-a-lifetime time, so he immediately calmed down and stopped his qi, and slowly approached his consciousness towards the source eye, just touching it, as if the river had burst its embankment, and the surrounding source qi was surging towards the seat of his heart in a spiral shape, and the source in his body immediately formed a whirlpool, frantically absorbing the source qi, and the depth was slowly increasing. At this moment, You Haochen seemed to feel a trace of strangeness, then opened his eyes, and suddenly found that Fan Lao was actually looking at him, with a thoughtful expression on his face, Haochen was startled, hurriedly closed the source eye, and stopped absorbing the source qi, this emergency stop almost made him squirt out a mouthful of blood. I thought: Oh no, this old man is really not ordinary, he actually found out that he absorbed the source qi, and it is estimated that he will be driven out of the royal mining area. But what he never expected was that Fan Lao looked back as if he had just been in a daze, and turned back as if nothing happened.

You Haochen couldn't help but be stunned: Did he really find out about himself? But no matter how violently Yuan Yuan's reaction was, he didn't dare to take any more risks.

After some more time, the well ladder finally landed slowly. Only then did everyone sigh that this source stone mine is not simple, I am afraid that it must be thousands of meters deep underground. But this is not over, under the illumination of the dim mining lamp, everyone found that this is a very large mine hole, there are more than ten well ladders on the cave wall, and there are countless mine roads in all directions, I don't know where to lead, but many mine roads are heard in the mining sound of "ding ding ~". Fan Lao stood at the forefront, as if sensing something, and came over for a while and said, "Here." So he walked to one of the mines. Everyone glanced at each other and hurriedly followed Fan Lao.

This is a very ordinary mine road, no more than four meters wide, no more than three meters high, the only unusual thing is that the stone walls on all sides are fiery red, and the temperature is also very high. For You Haochen, this place is really too painful, his source is about to rebel, and he desperately wants to absorb the source qi from the outside world. But he had no choice but to suppress it with all his might. Finally, Fan Lao stopped, "That's it, 5 kilograms a week, remember the method I asked you to distinguish the source ore." He pointed to the small cave at the end of the tunnel. But to You Haochen's surprise, the black-faced Fan Lao did not stop here, and turned around and left after speaking. When Hao Chen couldn't hear his footsteps, he couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't wait to unseal the idea of the source, and suddenly, a large amount of source qi gathered towards him, and the source in his heart was rapidly deepening, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

A few days have passed, with the method of identifying the source ore taught by Fan Lao and the special induction of his own source and source stone, the source ore he mined is about more than ten kilograms, except for his indicators and helping a few people who have not reached the indicators to use, the rest has also made him a lot of money, and Fan Lao has not come in the past few days, he unscrupulously absorbs the source qi around him, the source in his body has reached the maximum depth, and the later cultivation method is to expand the source as a whole, which requires several times the source qi before, although the source qi is abundant here, but if you cultivate with this, it will also take a long time。 You Haochen looked at the source mine the size of a human head in his hand, and couldn't help but want to break it many times to absorb the source qi, but after all, this was the important place of the entire mining area, and it was inevitable that there would be some methods of supervision, so he still resisted the impulse.

A few more weeks passed, during which time You Haochen finally secretly absorbed a few small source stones, and he slightly broke the source ore a little bit when mining, so that the source qi inside would quickly escape and spread into the surrounding air, although it would be wasted if it was absorbed in this way, but it also made Haochen's source expand at least three times. He couldn't help but sigh at the enormity of the source qi contained in this source stone, and he also felt that this was not a good quality source stone. During this period, Fan Lao came many times, but he didn't say anything, just came to guide. What scared You Haochen the most was the arrival of the bearded man, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the mine, he felt something strange - the source qi in this mine was too sufficient. He rushed in quickly, but fortunately, Haochen felt sharp and stopped absorbing in advance. perfunctory to the point that he accidentally broke the stone skin. The bearded man took the source stone and increased his metrics, and that's the end of it. Since then, You Haochen's actions have become more careful.

More than two months had passed, and You Haochen found that no matter how much source qi he absorbed, his source would not react, he knew that his realm had been consummated, and as long as he mastered the cultivation method, he could improve his realm, so he began to plan to leave. But soon, the bearded man and Fan Lao came here at the same time, which made all the young people feel very strange. "Yes, it's in this mine, well, that's the direction. The bearded man said as he looked at the faintly glowing compass in his hand. The black-faced Fan Lao frowned slightly: "Are you sure it's here, this direction is not on the trend of the ore vein?" "Fan Lao, this thing is made by Emperor Yan, and I can't think it's right or wrong." The bearded man shook the compass in his hand and said. Fan Lao didn't reply immediately, his fingers were drawing in the air, as if he was calculating something, and after half a sound, he said to the bearded, then try it. The bearded man nodded, turned around and shouted to everyone: "From now on, you all dig in this direction, and all your indicators will be canceled, as long as you dig stones every day, remember, no matter what you dig, you must report upward, there will be a heavy reward on it!" You Haochen faintly felt that the empire seemed to be looking for something very good.

The bearded man came here almost every day these days with something like a compass, and he even sent more people. As they continued to dig inward, the miners gradually found that the source ore was getting less and less, and even the last few days there was no harvest. But You Haochen inadvertently found that the compass in the bearded man's hand was getting brighter and brighter, and the bearded man's mood became more and more excited. "What are they looking for?" You Haochen thought curiously. Suddenly, his source shook violently, and a faint call seemed to appear in the sea of consciousness. And the direction in which the call came turned out to be the direction that everyone is digging now!

(The little gun is going to fill in the volunteer these days, and I may not be able to do it once a day, I'm sorry)
