Chapter 1577

After the barrier vanished, Tie Mu and company could clearly sense that Yi Yun had changed again . But they had no idea what about him was different .
For him to so easily kill Cang Gu, they believed that Yi Yun was a Royal Sealed Divine Lord at the very least .
A Royal Sealed Divine Lord would be an outer-sect steward in Taixia . This was a position above what Purple Succubus held .
Also, Yi Yun's age was a mystery . Songyue previously found Yi Yun young, but her realm was limited . It was not something she could deduce if Yi Yun wanted to hide his age and deliberately make others feel that he was a junior .
"How much do you usually obtain when mining for a year?" asked Yi Yun .
"Senior, we would typically harvest a few hundred kilograms of crude ores . If we are lucky, a kilogram of refined ores . "
The refined ores that Tie Mu referred to were in fact crude ores with higher energy purity . They would be about the same quality and price as the refined ores which Songyue refined using a Crystal Refining Furnace .
That was not considered a huge harvest .
"Oh? No xenomorphic ores?"
Upon hearing Yi Yun, Tie Mu smiled bitterly . "Xenomorphic ores aren't that easily obtained by the likes of us . Don't put weight on the restrictions placed on us . In fact, the upper management does not have any hopes of us finding xenomorphic ores . The ores are located in both hidden and dangerous places . Sometimes, the appearance of xenomorphic ores attracts many experts to their location . That level of the combat is not something we can be a part of . Usually, there can be low-leveled disciples obtaining a xenomorphic ore or two, but that would be quite amazing if it happened once every one to two centuries .
"Taixia Ancient Mining's xenomorphic ore are all harvested by stewards and core disciples . Aside from us, it sends a bunch of elites for the mining each time . They work independently and they target xenomorphic ores . "
"I get it . " Yi Yun nodded . Xenomorphic ores were extremely valuable . Even at a rate of once every one to two centuries, the Taixia Ancient Mining's upper echelons would definitely not miss out on them . It would still put restraints on every miner .
"Senior Yi, you can try your hand at vying for xenomorphic ores . If you really obtain one and hand it over to the Taixia Ancient Mining, you would be rewarded handsomely . Besides, with you being so powerful, you will be made an outer-sect steward at the very least . "
Yi Yun smiled without a reply . He did not have any negative feelings toward the Taixia Ancient Mining . Although it was profit-minded and exploited the miners under it, that was a unspoken rule in the Chaos Heavens . The situation was as such, and all the major factions were trying their best to improve themselves . They had no choice but to do so . However, lacking negative feelings did not imply having positive ones . It was naturally impossible for him to hand over most of his harvest .
"Songyue, this is for you . "
Yi Yun threw out an interspatial ring .
Songyue was taken aback as she subconsciously caught it . When she swept it with her psyche, she was instantly alarmed . There was five kilograms of refined ores inside and a massive amount of crude ores . It was about the same amount of wealth that Yi Yun had taken from her previously .
"Senior Yi, this is…"
"I was injured when I first came to Taixia . I was in urgent need of Chaos Ores to replenish my empty Yuan Qi . Borrowing was impossible, so all I could do was target your holdings . Now that I have recovered most of my strength, it's time to return the ores I took from you . "
The corners of Songyue's mouth twitched, but she eventually accepted it . Yi Yun had taken her wealth as a form of equivalent exchange . It would have been completely acceptable for him to not return any of it . However, she was just too poor, and although she felt a little embarrassed, she bit the bullet and accepted it .
"Thank you, Senior Yi," said Songyue with a bow .
Of course, Songyue had also guessed that the ores which Yi Yun had given her were not considered much to him .
Yi Yun did not make any unnecessary explanations regarding how they addressed him as senior . All he said was, "Follow me . I won't be able to escort you around all the time . I'll place you somewhere and, when the time comes, you will have to depend on yourself . "
Yi Yun had his own agenda . Bringing them around was inconvenient for him, but he did not find it right to abandon them . After all, he had killed Cang Gu . Without Cang Gu, these people could hardly survive in the Xuanyuan Dune .
"Senior Yi, Cang Gu had a disk array that's specially used to seek Chaos Ores . As long as one is mentally powerful enough, they will be able to operate the disk array as long as they know the formulations . However, such formulations are a secret of Taixia . We do not know them…" Songyue said wistfully .
Yi Yun's potency was undeniable, but seeking ores was not something through immense strength alone . The Xuanyuan Dune was just too huge . The Chaos Ores were scattered around it like gold in a desert . One needed special means to find them .
In the Chaos Heavens, there were specialized ore-seekers . They had all sorts of mystic arts and acquirement of these mystic arts depended on perception, experience, intuition, and mental strength . On the contrary, it had nothing to do with battle strength .
Cang Gu was only a low-leveled ore-seeker . At best, he could only find crude ores or refined ores . To find these ores with a disk array was considered neither a difficult or easy task .
The ore-seekers who could find xenomorphic ores were titled with Telluric Masters . They were people that all major factions would fight to rope in . Their standings were not lower than Crystal Refinement Masters!
"Is this it?" Yi Yun took out an unadorned disk array .
"Yes, that is Cang Gu's disk array . " Songyue nodded when she saw it .
Yi Yun attempted using it . Usage of the disk array was not considered complicated, but it had an additional secure layer which required psyche powers to unlock . If Yi Yun tried, he could unlock it, but Yi Yun had no interest in it .
He crushed the disk array for he discovered that there was a mental imprint hidden inside the disk array . It was not Cang Gu's and was likely left behind by Taixia .
Taixia had left a backdoor in their disk arrays . Yi Yun was planning to stay in the Chaos Heavens for at least a year . He did not wish his location to be monitored by Taixia constantly through the disk array .
Upon seeing Yi Yun destroy the disk array, Songyue felt alarmed . She had the intention to stop him, but she was too late .
But upon second thought, Yi Yun had no way of using the disk array anyway .
The disk array was quite expensive; yet, he had destroyed it so easily . Having lost their means of seeking ores, Songyue could not help but turn disheartened .
"Follow me," said Yi Yun .
The worldly laws in the Xuanyuan Dune were abnormally potent . Warriors had their perception repressed and were unable to extend it out far . Furthermore, the terrain was very unique . Even with Yi Yun's potent perception, all he could do was penetrate a few hundred feet .
"I wonder what means are available to those ore-seekers . Back in the Sun Burial Sandsea, I did encounter people with similar means . They were able to use the art of Feng Shui to seek out treasures…"
While Yi Yun pondered over the matter, he activated the Purple Crystal's energy vision .
Everything seemed to turn transparent as the land turned a pale gray like it was covered in mist . Only energy sources appeared abnormally clear in Yi Yun's vision . It was like starlight in the darkness of the night .
