Chapter 37 Long Xuan's Decision
So one of the casual cultivators immediately proposed that it would be better to sell the vein directly and make some quick money.
They could not finish digging this fossil vein in a hundred lifetimes. It was not their thing in the first place. Instead of wasting time practicing here, it would be better to sell it directly.
But his proposal was immediately opposed by other casual cultivators.
The casual cultivators were all afraid of poverty. This was a mountain of gold that they could never spend. How could they be willing to sell it with pain?
If the total value of this fossil vein was 100 billion spirit stones, then they would be lucky if they could sell it for 1 billion spirit stones, because no force could come up with so many spirit stones at once.
From a long-term perspective, it would definitely be a huge loss.
But the casual cultivator who proposed to sell the vein was not wrong. After all, no matter how many fossils there were here, what was the use if they couldn't dig them out?
As long as they could make some quick money, they could grow up quickly. When they became strong, what wealth would they have?
Holding on to wealth that they could not use was a miser and was irrational.
Their opinions diverged greatly, and they soon started arguing, and finally the quarrel became a big melee.
In the end, only one of the four survived because of the civil war, and he walked out with a seriously injured body.
Maybe there was an accident, or maybe he was seriously injured and died, leaving only a map recording this place, and then he passed away.
As for why the map burned a large area, it might be that the person who got the map was being killed and robbed of treasures, and before he died, he didn't want the treasure map to fall into the hands of the enemy, so he simply planned to burn it.
But the flame burned slowly, and only burned one-tenth of it before it was extinguished by the enemy.
Later, this burnt fragment of the map was circulated for several times, and somehow it was passed to the hands of the little medicine boy.
At this time, Long Xuan also had the same idea as those casual cultivators. He was in a dilemma whether to keep this gold mountain for himself or sell it for quick money.
But he didn't hesitate for long. He came here to hunt for treasure because he lacked spirit stones to buy materials for the Ice God Flame. He urgently needed a huge amount of spirit stones.
Moreover, he couldn't dig the vein by himself. Since he couldn't use the vein, what was the point of keeping it in his hands? He didn't have the ability to mobilize mortals to do hard labor.
Since guarding this vein was useless, he really had nothing to worry about.
Sell the vein to those big families first, let them dig first, and wait for them to sell the fossils they dug out, and then go to pick up bargains at a bargain price.
This was equivalent to letting the big families dig for him, and he was using the big families' labor for free.
The big families not only had to pay a huge amount of spirit stones to buy his veins, but also had to give him the good insects they dug out.
He was really too cunning, and the abacus was snapping, and Long Xuan showed a cunning smile.
After making a decision in his heart, Long Xuan did not leave immediately, but walked to the deepest part of the cave with his clone.
He was different from those casual cultivators. After all, his eyes could accurately locate.
Those casual cultivators might have dug up all waste ore after digging for a long time, and not a single fossil was dug out.
Long Xuan can find the exact location of fossils, and they are fossils that will definitely produce insects.
He gave up because he couldn't dig the veins by himself, but if he could dig the shallow veins, he would search them before he went on.
The deeper he went, the more forks Long Xuan saw. Some forks had as many as nine. Some of the caves extended upwards, and some of the caves went deep down, like a bottomless pit.
Some of the caves were dug by those casual cultivators, and some were naturally formed.
In short, there were many twists and turns here, and there were caves everywhere. It was simply a huge maze. It was difficult to get out once you entered.
Long Xuan's plan was to only collect shallow fossils, and ignore places that were too deep.
On the one hand, it was because he was afraid of getting lost, and on the other hand, it was because of danger.
The danger not only came from the strange insects that could drill out of the soil at any time, but also from the fact that in this world full of spiritual power, some strange and bizarre things often happened in the mines, which were full of dangers.
Many villagers in Dashi Village went to mine for the big clan, but from time to time they would die due to various accidents, including metal veins and spiritual stone veins, which would present various dangers.
He had seen many such things in Dashi Village, so how could he not be vigilant about this place.
So he did not go deep into the maze, but chose to order all the clones to dig shallow fossils, while he supervised and drank fine wine on the side.
Until he accidentally scanned a fossil in the deep with a progress of [38.17903%], he finally couldn't sit still, and immediately waved the iron pickaxe, rushing over with his eyes like a searchlight.
It turned out to be a progress of five digits after the decimal point, which means that the fossil may be a top-grade spiritual insect with a maturity period of more than ten thousand years.
How precious are top-grade spiritual insects? It is no exaggeration to say that even if there are 100,000 top-grade spiritual insects, there will not be a top-grade spiritual insect.
The minimum price of top-grade spirit insects on the market is 10 million spirit stones. In reality, there is simply no market for them, and most of them can only be obtained through barter.
Long Xuan Gou had been in the market for so many years and encountered countless treasures, but he had only seen one top-grade spirit insect, which was the stone eye he found in the Stone King.
He also saw the strength of the top-grade Gu worm after it was refined. Not to mention the super-standard abilities he developed, the original world alone was ridiculously strong, which could be called an unsolvable ability.
To be frank, the top-grade Gu worm was simply a dimensionality reduction attack on the top-grade Gu worm, and there was no comparison at all.
Therefore, how could he not be excited when he saw the necessary materials for refining the top-grade Gu worm.
He always collected the rarest materials first when creating his own Gu, and then used these rare materials as the main materials to create his own Gu recipe.
Now a top-grade spirit insect appeared in his sight, which meant that he could try to create his own top-grade Gu recipe again, and his second top-grade Gu worm was just around the corner.
Because this top-grade spiritual insect was buried very deep, Long Xuan and his four external clones worked together to dig for two days before finally digging out the fossil that hid the top-grade spiritual insect.
You have to know that this is only a shallow fossil. If you dig a deeper fossil, who knows how long it will take. The key is that there is not only no oxygen in the deep, but it is also dangerous. He is really powerless to dig deeper fossils.
At this time, Long Xuan hugged this huge fossil tightly, and he couldn't let it go. He was very excited. With this treasure in hand, it was worth his long journey...
