Book 9 Chapter 17 – Struggle for the Mines

 

 

 

 

 

Yi Xinpu lowered his voice conspiratorially . “Senior Song . Do you know about the Qianyin Ice Mountain (Thousand Sound Ice Mountain)?”

 

 

 

 

Song Qiao nodded . “I know it . ”

 

“They discovered a large deposit of copper crystal ore some ten thousand years old . Senior must know the uses of copper crystal, right?”

Xin Zhaolun couldn’t hide the surprise on his face . “Large copper crystal deposit? Are you joking? How can such a thing exist? Every time a vein has been discovered, it’s always in small amounts…”

“Just because it’s never been seen before doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” countered Yi Xinpu .

Xin Zhaolun stopped talking, sinking into his thoughts . He also wished to obtain some copper crystal ore . It was one of the main materials to construct Hidden Doors with . He came here this time mainly for Biyasi, and maybe a few copper crystals while he was at it . He’d never have thought that a large deposit would exist .

“Is this information accurate?” Song Qiao asked .

“Very . However, it’s difficult to get there . Qianyin Ice Mountain is beyond the Ice Cave . It’s already hard to get to the Ice Cave, not to mention how hard it is to go past it . As you know, we can only stay at the Ice Cave for some dozen days . So without the help of a Monarch, we can’t get to the Qianyin Ice Mountain . ”

Lei Xinfeng knew that the three of them wanted to borrow Song Qiao’s power to go bring them to the mountain . He wasn’t opposed to it either . They provided the intel, while Song Qiao sends them there . Of course, the benefits would be reaped together .

Jin Daya scrunched up his eyebrows, muttering under his breath . “Copper crystal? Copper crystal…copper crystal…it sounds so familiar, but I can’t think of anything . ”

“What can’t you think of?” Xin Zhaolun asked .

“The name of the copper crystal is supposed to be familiar, but I can’t remember why…”

“What do you mean why? Back where we came from, we call it Fengmo copper as well . ”

 

 

 

 

“Yes! Fengmo copper! That! Heh heh, it’s very valuable!” Jin Daya said, clapping .

 

 

 

 

“Alright . I’ll take you there . But you must know that Qianyin Ice Mountain is not a fun place to be,” Song Qian warned . “There are many Ice Beasts there . They should be out and about after the frost . With your strength, you should be able to handle it, but it’s still dangerous . ”

Yi Zhong smiled . “Well, we have you!”

Song Qiao laughed as well . “Alright, you three little bastards . Alright . We’ll go together . We were originally planning to go to the Ice Cave, but we can take a detour to Qianyin Ice Mountain and see what we can get . ”

Lei Xinfeng already knows about the importance of materials . This time, he only created a small Lightning Stamp, yet he already used so much of his precious materials . He even had to borrow! He needed to return them, even if they weren’t the exact same materials he borrowed . That’s why he was anxious to go mining .

Hongjie came out . “Take me with you this time .

Xin Zhaolun nodded . “Does Miaolin have someone guarding here?”

“Yes, there shouldn’t be any problems . She’s just cultivating at home . It’s quick here . After her ascension, she’d already stabilized . It wouldn’t be strange if she could ascend soon again . ”

To Miaolin, mining was useless . Cultivating here was to her greatest benefit . However, to the leader of her guards, Hongjie, this chance could not be passed up .

Song Qiao scowled . The number of people increased again . The only light at the end of the tunnel was that he was opening the Gate in the same world; it wouldn’t take as much energy . “Alright, count the number of people . Don’t accept any more . You want to kill me?”

“This is all from us,” Xin Zhaolun said .

Lei Xinfeng had Jin Daya, Fengying, and Shihu, four total . Xin Zhaolun was alone . He didn’t take Xiao Diya since the latter was too weak . Xin Zhaolun didn’t have the confidence to protect him . Lastly, Hongjie came along this time . Futou and Chuizi went home with a large amount of food .

Then there’s Yi Zhong and his friends .

After counting, Song Qiao nodded . “Nine total, plus me, so ten . A little much, but it can’t be helped . Alright, I have a request . I hope that none of you will reject it . ”

 

 

 

 


“Name it, Senior,” Xin Zhaolun said .

 

 

 

 

“This time, no matter what we get, I want a fifth of it . ”

“That’s not a problem…however, we also have a…wish . ” He didn’t dare ask directly .

“What?” Song Qiao asked .

“I wish for you to ensure the safety of all of us,” Xin Zhaolun said .

Song Qiao didn’t mind . He could be considered at the peak of strength in this place . There was almost nothing living that could threaten him, so he agreed immediately . He turned to the three others . “What about you? Do you agree with my request?”

They agreed quickly as well . Even if Song Qiao asked for half, they’d have gladly agreed . Song Qiao’s presence saved them so much time and effort . It was doubtful if they would’ve been able to go all the way to Qianyin Ice Mountain in the first place without Song Qiao’s help .

Song Qiao was very satisfied . Although a fifth isn’t a lot by itself, there were nine other people . With so many to help him, the cost to use the Hidden Door paled in comparison .

As for ensuring the safety of everyone present, it was easy . As long as none of the truly strong Ice Beasts appears, they’d be fine . Everyone except Lei Xinfeng were Ninth Ring Sages, and Lei Xinfeng himself had offensive power on par with a Ninth Ring Sage .

He was basically getting twenty percent of everyone’s harvest for free .

He was a good mood . “Alright . Is everyone done preparing? If so, let’s go!” he said, smiling .

Because they were all practitioners, they could just pack into their Hidden Lun space . They were ready whenever .

Xin Zhaolun surveyed his group . Lei Xinfeng nodded . “We’re ready . ”

“I’ve no problems,” Hongjie said .

 

 

 

 

Then Xin Zhaolun addressed Song Qiao . “We can go immediately . ”

 

 

 

 

Yi Zhong, Yi Xinpu, and Yi Zhou exchanged glances and nodded . “We’re ready . ”

“Very good! Let’s go!” Song Qiao said . He waved his hands about, and suddenly, a door appeared . “Hurry”

Everyone rushed in . When the last person entered, Song Qiao entered as well . As soon as Song Qiao vanished, the door disappeared .

With the Hidden Door, everyone arrived at the Qianyin Ice Mountain .

The moment Lei Xinfeng walked out of the secret door, he heard a cacophony of sounds, like gibberish whispers, roars of beasts, cries of birds, or sounds like a sword swinging through the air . Thousands of strange sounds came all at once, giving him a headache .

Xin Zhaolun grimaced . “As expected of something named for a Thousand Sounds,” he said .

“It’s just the wind,” Song Qiao said .

The Qianyin Ice Mountain was a mountain range of ice . Countless holes were formed in the ice, and as the wind blew through them, it produced the headache-inducing noise . For that reason, it was called the Ice Mountain of a Thousand Sounds .

“I’ve come here a few times and found many kinds of ore . However, it’s my first time hearing about any copper crystal ores here,” Song Qiao said .

Yi Zhong and his friends walked out and spent a long time looking around . Some twenty minutes later, Yi Zhong ascertained where they were . He said, “Alright, follow me . Thank goodness the frost just passed . It’s when the wind is the weakest, so we can all fly . However, stay near the ground, or you’ll attract Ice Beasts . ”

Fengying and Shihu came to Lei Xinfeng’s side, each grabbing onto his arm . “We’ll fly with you for a while . ”

Lei Xinfeng then realized that he could fly too . However, he’d never flown before . Knowing this, Fengying and Shihu came by to help him get used to it first . He thanked them, excited . Together, they flew after everyone else .

Fengying and Shihu occasionally released his arm . After a few times, Lei Xinfeng finally got used to flying and began to fly under his own power . Although he still couldn’t control it perfectly, he managed to nail the basics .

After an hour of flying, Yi Zhong landed in an ice gorge . He went to Song Qiao’s side . “Senior, it should be near . I wish to request for you to do a brief search . ”

Song Qiao nodded and vanished . After a few seconds, he appeared again . “I thought you found the deposit . ”

Yi Zhong nodded . “Yes, we heard the news by chance . There’s probably someone already here, right?”

Song Qiao nodded . “There are six people, three Eighth Rings, and three Ninth Rings . They’re not very strong . What will you do?”

Yi Zhong bowed . “We await your orders . ”

Xin Zhaolun wasn’t stupid either . “Senior’s opinion first . ”

Song Qiao sighed . “I’m really going to have to work for that fifth of ores . Fine, we’ll do it this way . We will chase them away . If they resist, we will kill them all . None of them will escape . ”

Lei Xinfeng now realized how pragmatic Song Qiao was . He reminded himself of the values of this world . Back in his previous world, no matter how deep the animosity was, people rarely died because of it . However, people here often died without even knowing why .

With Song Qiao’s blessings, Yi Zhong and his friends became excited and rushed in .

The cast keeps increasing . As if eleven people wasn’t already too much . We’re already barely seeing the others . This author has a bad habit of throwing out materials after establishing it .

Fun Fact: Lei Xinfeng (Lei Xing Feng (雷星峰))’s name could be interpreted as Lightning at the Starry Peaks . His grandfather is Lei Bao (雷暴) which could mean either Chaotic or Violent Lightning . I have no idea about his sister though . She just sounds cute . If you think she’s cute in the English translator, she’s even cuter in the Chinese version .

Also, l3lacksheep said he’d be my editor . I have no idea how it’s going to work, but yay, I can now dump all the work on him .

Someone asked if I was going to drop it suddenly . I promised that I’d translate at least two whole volumes (Book 9 and Book 10) . I’ll probably keep going .
