Chapter 0344
The world was an unpredictable place . Wu Yu found it hard to imagine what would happen in the future .
Nangong Wei's affection for him meant that he wanted to help her on his own accord . He would be willing to avenge her as well . At this point in time, however, even Nangong Wei did not believe that Wu Yu would end up exceeding her abilities .
Therefore, she wanted to rely on herself for this matter . As long as Wu Yu did not stop her, it would be fine .
Their journey toward the Yin Yang Mountain made Nangong Wei's emotions undergo unsteady changes . Wu Yu deeply felt this . The closer they got, the more intense the enmity in her heart seemed to become . The large amount of love she had for her mother before directly corresponded to the intense amount of hatred she harbored towards demons today .
From close by to the side, Beishan Mo remarked with a strong sense of loyalty and decisiveness, "Big Sister Nangong, I will slaughter hordes of demons till their blood fills the sky on this journey of ours . I'll avenge Sixth Master's wife! There will come a day where I enter the Endless Demon Seas and send Ying Huang to the depths of hell . I'll make sure that even after death, he won't be able to rest in peace!"
"Mm . " Nangong Wei nodded .
They had grown up together after all, so they understood each other . In this respect, Beishan Mo's showed more enthusiasm than Wu Yu . Beishan Mo was slightly more decisive .
Wu Yu seemed to falter sometimes . He was clearly a human, and a cultivator at that, so why did he sometimes seem to consider things from the demons' point of view? He did not know if this was a sign that he would consider betraying his own people, or let down the Shushan Immortal Sect that nurtured him .
It was just that when he was young, the intimate ravings of the Ninth Spirit had influenced him too much .
All living things are created equal .
They were actually quite tight on time . As they tried to be hidden during their travels, they also swiftly swept through endless mountain rivers and passed through the mysterious depths of many mountains . After passing through many small sects hidden across the heavenly land, they ultimately reached the rolling Endless Demon Seas of the north . This was an endless black ocean floating in mid-air . The pungent miasma surrounding it was enveloped by the demonic aura emanating from the place . No one knew for sure just how many demons were hiding in the Endless Demon Seas!
After these demons gained sentience, they would hear of the Endless Demon Seas and expend countless efforts in order to go there . This was the holy land in their eyes .
Not far below the boundless and gloomy black ocean was Yin Yang Mountain . The south face of the mountain was verdant lush with vegetation, whereas the north face was severely affected by the Endless Demon Seas . It was devoid of all life and was damp with darkness .
Yin Yang Mountain was extremely big . It was a thin and unbroken mountain range that stretched out endlessly . Apparently, the blue jade mines mirrored the mountain ridge's path as well and were entrenched below the earth . There were far more minerals in these mines than early scouting efforts predicted . If the entire vein of ore in the mines was extracted, it would be a priceless asset to Shushan . This was especially true of the core part where grand blue jade ores existed .
The miners from Shushan present there now were situated right above the core's position . They were directly above the grand blue jade ores .
As Wu Yu and the rest approached, they found that there were dozens of miners within a deep and gigantic tunnel . They directly used immortal treasures to dig the walls . After digging out the blue jade ores from below, they stored them in their Sumeru Pouches .
To the side of the tunnel, there was only a dozen Shushan disciples armed with swords . From their clothing, it seemed like most of them were Xuan sword rank disciples . They were spread out around the tunnel and were in charge of defending the tunnel and looking out for danger .
When Wu Yu and rest arrived from the shadows, a slightly rotund elder emerged from the crowd . He was excited by their arrival and jogged over to them with his little steps . This old man was truly enthusiastic to see them and hurriedly got himself into a half-kneel position before sincerely greeting them . "Shushan Earth sword rank disciple Liu Jin at your service . It's a great honor to meet the Shushan geniuses Nangong Wei and Beishan Mo, as well as Senior Sister Li Chuxue!"
Li Chuxue waved her hands and said, "You may stand . Don't be too excited now . "
There was no way for the elder to control his excitement . He had taken on this task quite some time ago and had brought a bunch of people to mine in these blue jade mines . These blue jade mines had been discovered way earlier by the Shushan disciples, but there were not that many minerals to mine at first, so they flew under the radar . Liu Jin originally took on the job just to earn some merits on the side, but he never expected that after further reconnaissance efforts, they would actually find that the blue jade mines were ten times larger than recorded and grand blue jade ores could even be found here .
Liu Jin was exhilarated at this discovery, but he was also worried about his lack of skill . If a strong demon appeared, he would have to deal with it . Hence, he sent a talisman back to the sect asking for assistance . However, never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the helpers sent to him would end up being the two future pillars of the Shushan Immortal Sect . One was a daughter of a Sword Immortal and the other was the collective disciple of all Seven Immortals of Shushan . The fact that he could personally meet them in his lifetime thrilled Liu Jin to no end .
As Liu Jin stood up, he still lowered his head in deference to Nangong Wei and the rest . Li Chuxue gave the impression that she was leading the group as she said, "Calm down, just give me the details about the current situation . How long more till the digging is complete?"
Liu Jin had already prepared beforehand . He replied, "As of now we've been mining for a month . We only just found out about the presence of the grand blue jade ores, but what's slowing us down is the fact that the grand blue jade ores are in the deepest part of the ore vein . If we want to dig it out directly, it will take us around two months or so . However, we don't want to force our way in and destroy the other parts of the blue jade mines just to obtain the grand blue jade ores . The combined value of the minerals in these blue jade mines of Yin Yang Mountain is enormous . The entire mining process should take us about a year: however, orders from above have informed me that you all only need to stay till the grand blue jade ores are out of the earth . Your mission will be considered complete by then . "
Of course, if time was of the essence, they could destroy mining paths indiscriminately . Doing this would allow them to forcefully dig out the grand blue jade ore . The downside to this was that it would simply be a great waste of other resources .
Li Chuxue nodded . She did not really care about the details of mining since all she was responsible for was sorting out the defenses of the place .
