Chapter 874: Chapter 461: Blood Crystal
"We’re not here to waste words, get to work!"
Gu Sheng coldly commanded.
Zhang Dadan and Old Li reluctantly stepped back after hearing Gu Sheng, given that they were hundreds of meters underground.
If they really caused trouble here, it would be as if they were asking to die!
"Boss! There are a lot of crystal stones over here!"
Suddenly, a miner shouted.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly led the group rushing over.
The quantity of crystal stones here could be described as "vast".
These crystal stones were so large that even a tiny candle could illuminate the entire space.
"Great news!"
Gu Sheng nodded excitedly and ordered Old Li, "Old Li, you take people to start mining. If you encounter any unusual mineral crystal, report to me immediately. Remember, this number thirteen mine is rather tricky, don’t act on your own!"
"Understood!"
Old Li responded, immediately instructing his miners to start mining.
Zhang Dadan, being straightforward by nature, felt somewhat discontent seeing Gu Sheng put Old Li in charge.
So he stood still without taking any action.
"Dadan, you go too. I’m worried they might really dig up something, you go over as well!"
Gu Sheng ordered.
"I get irritated just seeing that old fellow!"
Zhang Dadan said disdainfully.
"Ha, Old Li, huh?"
Gu Sheng laughed.
Zhang Dadan nodded.
"He’s getting old, don’t stoop to his level. Besides, we’re doing this to make a living, why bother with such things?"
Saying this, Gu Sheng moved closer to Zhang Dadan and softly added, "When it’s time to settle the wages, I’ll talk to the elder to see if he can give you credit for a couple of extra shifts, how about that?"
"Really?"
Zhang Dadan looked excited.
"I’m not lying to you! But you need to bolster your courage and keep things steady!"
Gu Sheng said with a serious expression.
"Brother Sheng, don’t worry, if there’s one thing I’m known for, it’s my guts!"
Zhang Dadan patted his chest, then joined Old Li to mine the crystal stones.
After everyone left, only Gu Sheng remained in the cave.
Gu Sheng squatted down to inspect the overturned table, on which were carved chi patterns.
His heart skipped a beat, sensing that these patterns were not ordinary.
The mysterious power they contained might unlock the cave’s secrets.
Then, Gu Sheng cautiously picked up a pen from the table and started studying the pattern’s design carefully.
Soon, Gu Sheng discovered that these were not simple decorations but an ancient script.
Due to the passage of time, these inscriptions were weathered and hard to discern.
Even those that could be seen felt like there was an invisible barrier obstructing his thoughts.
Gu Sheng gently brushed his fingers across the surface of the chi pattern.
Every line seemed to contain a unique power.
At that moment, the power of the words seemed to materialize...
Subsequently, Gu Sheng closed his eyes, concentrating, trying to resonate with the ancient words.
Gradually, Gu Sheng’s consciousness began to merge with the power within the chi patterns.
A blurred map started to clear up in his mind.
Entrances, crystal stone areas, refined ore sources...
This map seemed to illustrate the entire mine’s underground structure, with certain special points indicating the locations of refined ores.
"That’s right! It’s the location of the refined ores!"
Gu Sheng felt elated, realizing he was about to strike it lucky!
"Fantastic!"
Gu Sheng opened his eyes, memorized the map in detail, and quickly exited the cave.
He arrived at the busy miners, who were sweating profusely while excavating crystal stones.
"Brothers, how’s it going?"
Gu Sheng greeted the miners.
"Xiao Sheng, there are indeed many crystal stones here, if Elder Li Yuan knew, he’d be delighted."
Old Li wiped the sweat off his forehead, looking excited.
"Xiao Sheng, come take a look!"
A miner shouted excitedly, "These crystal stones here are even better than the ones we found before!"
Gu Sheng stepped forward to see that the sporadically discovered high-quality crystal stones were now being unearthed like a gushing spring.
Cart after cart of crystal stones was transported out of the mine in such quantities and quality that everyone was amazed.
Just like that, on their first day at the helm, they achieved massive success.
After a day’s work, everyone returned to the surface.
Upon inventorying, it was found that the output of the number thirteen mine far exceeded other mines, making it the most efficient in the entire mining area.
This news quickly reached Elder Li Yuan.
He personally visited the mine to inspect the day’s results.
Elder Li Yuan’s face lit up with a pleased smile, giving high praise to Gu Sheng’s wisdom and leadership.
"Xiao Sheng, your performance today was outstanding, bringing great wealth to our mine. On behalf of the entire mining area, I thank you."
Elder Li Yuan patted Gu Sheng’s shoulder as he spoke.
"Hehe..."
Gu Sheng humbly smiled, "Elder, you’re too kind. It was all due to the hard work of the miner brothers; I just provided some guidance."
Elder Li Yuan nodded, turning to the miners and loudly said, "I hope you keep up the good work, Shaking Light Sacred Land will not treat any of you unfairly!"
The miners, following Gu Sheng, felt their fatigue vanish upon hearing this, eager to get back to work.
After everyone dispersed, Gu Sheng also prepared to go back and rest.
But before Gu Sheng could enter his quarters, Yao Qing stopped him.
