Chapter 28 (1/2)

Piles of skeletons lying on the ground were quite a frightening scene.

The postures and clothes indicated they should be the slaves that were captured for mining in those years.

Squatting down, Lin Xun picked a section of bone in dark red and examined carefully, making sure these people were poisoned by ruddy blood bats and lost their lives later.

Recalling what he had experienced just now, Lin Xun felt a little distressed. Without cultivation, how could those slaves resist against the attack of ruddy blood bats?

Getting rid of the negative feelings, Lin Xun sought around and finally found many caves like honeycombs on one side of the rock, thickly dotted.

They should be the nests of ruddy blood bats. Walking towards it, Lin Xun could see clearly there were piles of fangs like white sands in each cave.

This was the blood marrow grit. In the size of sand, each one was jade white, and cold when grasped in the hands.

Pa***

Picking up one blood marrow grit, Lin Xun crumbled it with fingertips. The shell was broken and some fluid in the color of fire flowed out.

He was beyond happy. There were thousands of caves here and piles of blood marrow grits in each cave. If he collected all of them, it would definitely be a good fortune.

Without hesitation, Lin Xun striped the clothes off the skeletons and made a rough bag, then began to gather all blood marrow grits.

It took Lin Xun more than 15 minutes to gather all. The bag became heavier and heavier, weighing more than 2500g.

Lin Xun grinned with happiness, thinking with this bag of blood marrow grits, he would not be bothered by the lack of money over a period of time.

Before leaving, Lin Xun took a glance of the rocky wall at the end of the mine and had a bold suspicion. Going straight to the wall, he then cut it hard with Sky Breacher.

Rocky debris fell down and a crevice in four-finger depth appeared.

With fingertips stained with a few powders of rock, Lin Xun rubbed his fingers and a trace of hot feeling spread out.

Eyes brightening, he kept cutting the rocky wall until a light red glow came into his vision when the crevice was wider than 30 cm.

Full of pleasure, he kept excavating for another 15 cm and dug out a mottled red stone.

In the size of a fist, the stone was rugged with an obvious red color like fire in the middle.

Lin Xun raised his dagger and chopped the stone until a thumb-size fire copper showed up.

Like enshrouded with mists, the fire copper was red and beautiful. Although it was small in a thumb size, it was nearly 4 kg.

Just as he suspected it would be.

When he glanced at the wall just now, he noticed the rock was pretty dry, so different from the cold and wet environment around.

So he considered the possibility and began to excavate the wall, digging out the fire copper.

It was like pennies from heaven!

Fire copper was a spiritual material for refining weapons. If cast with iron finely, it could become a sharp weapon, pliable and tough. If carved with a fire attribute-based spiritual tattoo formation, the weapon would be much more powerful.

So though it was not as expensive as blood marrow grit, it was more favored by practitioners.

“Blood marrow grits, Feiyun Fire Copper…”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun tried to calm down and stopped mining the Feiyun Fire Copper; instead, he went back along the mine tunnel.

He understood that it was impossible to dig out all the Feiyun Fire Copper in the mine by himself.

So he must discuss it seriously with the village head Shiao Tianren.

Lin Xun was not greedy and since he lived in Feiyun Village at the moment and had got a lot of help, he should be grateful.

…

Lin Xun came back to the village alone till the afternoon with a bag of blood marrow grits.

When he showed up, a kid playing nearby shouted and ran to the village immediately.

“He’s back. Uncle Lin is back. He’s alive.”

There was a surprise in the immature voice.

Lin Xun was in a trance. A little puzzled, he trotted down the road and saw a flock of people coming towards him.

Led by Shiao Tianren, villagers rushed toward him with Pock Sun bound and escorted by Zhou Zhong and others.

Lin Xun realized what happened instantly and then walked towards Shiao Tianren and saluted.

Shiao Tianren was impatient at first, but when he saw Lin Xun in perfect condition, he felt a sense of relief, smiled and asked, “Problem solved?”

Lin Xun nodded with a grin – he knew Shiao Tianren was talking about Qian Qi and Lu Ting.

Taking a deep breath out, Shiao Tianren patted on Lin Xun’s shoulder happily, “Great, well done!”

Seeing this, the villagers around caught on to the fact that Qian Qi and Lu Ting would never come back again.
