Chapter 19: The Heavenly Brain Stone (Part 1)

  Bing Xueyuan and Qian Yin Ice Mountain have similarities, both ice layers are millions of holes, but Qian Yin Ice Mountain is above the ground, while Bing Xueyuan is an ice field, those ice caves are all under the ice layer. Bing Xueyuan is impassable, if you can't fly, once you enter Bing Xueyuan, you will definitely die, it's full of traps everywhere.

  Only cultivators above the sixth ring can survive in the Ice Abyss, where it is impossible to walk on the ice or under the ice surface, with large and small holes and huge ice crevices. If you don't fly, you'll fall in and never come out.

  The entire ice cave has a large area of empty space at the bottom, formed by massive ice layers. Some of these spaces are said to be as large as one square kilometer, with arched ice layers above that have been gradually forming over millions of years. Underneath these ice layers, there live some peculiar insects and animals.

  Ordinary cultivators would not choose this place. If Song Jue did not bring Lei Xingfeng and the others over, they might never have thought of coming here again.

  Song Jie was very familiar with the Ice Cavern, and from the moment he opened the secret door, he knew that the location he would enter would be directly below the Ice Cavern, in the gap between the ice layer and the ground.

  Lei Xingfeng walked out of the secret door and was shocked, the sky was a huge ice layer, relying on reflection, it wasn't dark here, and some plants were growing on the ground, these plants weren't green, but white or light yellow, some small animals were moving among them.

  "This is a maze, very large, if there is no secret door to enter and exit, hehe, get lost inside, thoroughly trapped."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Trapped? As long as we go up, we should be able to get back, right?"

  Song Jiao smiled and said, "That's right, as long as you go up, you can come back. However, you have to think about it, only after the extremely cold weather has passed, which is just a few dozen days, can you leave. So even if you find a way out, you still have to wait for the extremely cold weather to end. If you miss it, then you'll continue to be trapped here. There were once several Ninth Ring True Humans who were trapped here for several years before they escaped."

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "We won't be trapped, will we? With seniors around, we can leave at any time."

  Song Jiao said, "Of course, let's go to the mining point, it's a good place. Hehe, still follow the old rules, how about it? I don't want two successful mines, you come and guide me, I'll dig myself." After experiencing the benefits once, he naturally had an interest in this model, and his previous gains made him very satisfied.

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "No problem, I'll guide you. Let's go take a look at the mine first and see what it's like." He was becoming more confident in his own judgment.

  A group of people followed Song Jia towards the front.

  Song Jiao walked and said, "Those who can come here and stop to dig mines must have a true lord behind them. Therefore, when encountering other cultivators here, try not to provoke conflicts."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "We won't go and provoke others."

  "What if they come to provoke us?"

  Song Jiao said: "It won't happen. Those who can move around here will receive orders from their superiors and won't clash without reason."

  The terrain under the ice sheet is extremely complex, with countless holes and tunnels like a sponge cake. After walking for more than an hour, Leixing Peak was completely disoriented, surrounded by blue ice sheets and numerous strange channels that made people's eyes dizzy.

  Song Jie was very familiar with this place, and he led the way as if it were his own home, twisting and turning without any hesitation. They quickly passed through several icy tunnels and arrived at a massive space, where a long, narrow rock formation twisted and turned like a giant stone snake before their eyes. The ice layer above their heads was like a huge umbrella, covering the vast expanse of ground.

  Lei Xingfeng took a deep breath and said: "Damn it... This terrain, if the ice layer above collapses, none of us can escape."

  Everyone was amazed and looked up with their heads raised.

  Song Jiao smiled and said, "No need to look, that ice layer is several hundred meters thick, it can't collapse at all, don't worry."

  "Are we there?"

  Song Jiao nodded and said: "That's right, it's here. Do you see this rocky strip? This is a rich mine."

  "What kind of mine is it?"

  Song Jiao said: "The ore here, hehe, is not something that you true people can use, it's a material that only the True Lord can use. However, if you can store some in advance, it's also a good thing, even if you don't need to use it, you can exchange it for an imprint ring with the True Lord."

  At that moment, several Jiu Huan True People all showed surprised expressions. Only a True Ruler like Song Jia could find such a mine vein. Even if they came here, they wouldn't know what kind of mine this was. Lei Xingfeng asked: "What is this mine?"

  Song Jiao said: "Tian Mei Shi, have you heard of it?"

  Among these people, except for Xin Zhaolun, everyone else had a bewildered expression on their faces. Only Xin Zhaolun's face showed a shocked expression, and then this guy was overjoyed, laughing uncontrollably, saying: "Wow... what? Tianmushan stone! This place actually produces Tianmushan stone!"

  "Big Brother, is the Tianmu Stone hard to obtain?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Rare? Last time, the ancestor used several hundred seal rings to exchange a little bit of Tianmushan stone, which was not even refined. Do you say it's precious or not?"

  Lei Xingfeng did not expect that his ancestors also wanted Tianxu Stone, it can be imagined that this thing must be extremely precious.

  Song Jiao laughed and said, "If Ah Feng didn't have skills, I wouldn't have brought you guys here. Hehe, this thing... uh, do you still have an ancestor?" He was startled, being able to be Xin Zhaolun's ancestor, this strength is probably very terrifying.

  Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, "Yes, we have an ancestor."

  Song Jiao said: "You... Ancestor, have you already surpassed Zhen Jun?"

  Xin Zhaolun shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know what kind of cultivation the ancestors are."

  Song Jiao said: "So your master, is he Zhen Jun?"

  Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, "Yes, this is not to be doubted. My master is indeed the True Lord." There was no need to hide anything, he directly acknowledged it.

  Song Jie secretly smiled wryly to himself, he had already planned to forcefully take Lei Xingfeng away, but upon hearing this information, he could only give up. He didn't want to provoke a master even more formidable than the True Lord. Sighing, he said: "Heh heh, Tian Suo Stone... is very difficult to excavate and is scattered all over the place. Although it's a rich mine, without good luck, you can't dig up much. I've been here many times before, but haven't dug up much either."

  In fact, Song Jie has been here at least a dozen times, and each time he can only dig up a few pieces of Tianyu stone. After discovering that Leixing Peak could find ore, he immediately brought them over.

  Song Jiao said: "This time mining, if you dig up the Tianyu Stone, hehe, can exchange with me for a ring or other things, guarantee not to let you suffer losses, how about it?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Dig it first and take a look."

  Song Jiao said: "Random digging is useless, Tianxu Stone... Hmm, let me show you, it's something like this." He took out a piece of Tianxu Stone and handed it to Lei Xingfeng.

  Walnut-sized stones, on the white stone, there are black marks like ink, those black marks, like silk threads, are messy on the white stone, making the whole stone appear gray. Leixing Peak observed carefully and found that among the black marks, a few golden lights were flashing like needle tips.

  Lei Xingfeng handed the Tianxu stone to Xin Zhaolun and said, "Is this thing an ore? Hasn't it been refined?"

  Song Jiao said, "Without refining, this thing is very difficult to dig out. If you're not careful, you'll miss it. The Tianyu Stone grows in the rocks, so you have to crush the rocks to find it. But you can't crush all the rocks. If you're not careful, you might end up crushing both the rocks and the Tianyu Stone together."

  "It's so difficult."

  Song Kao said: "It is because no one can see through rocks."

  To find this mineral vein, excavate this ore, generally speaking, at least a 9th rank cultivator is required. The abilities of these people are beyond doubt, but wanting to dig out good ore, their abilities may not be enough, especially for this kind of deeply buried rock ore. If one is not careful, the rock and ore will be completely destroyed, even if a True Lord were to come, it would be useless.

  Xin Zhaolun turned around and asked: "A Feng, can you see if there is a mine in that rock?"

  Actually, Lei Xingfeng had been observing for a long time. What surprised him was that he could see the abnormality. On some rocks, there would be faint dark spots appearing. He didn't know if it was Tianmu stone or not. "I'll try first," he said.

  There were many scattered rocks on the ground, all of which were discarded gravel after excavation. Leixing Peak picked up one of them, and there was a dark spot on it, but when he really picked it up, the dark spot disappeared.

  Song Jiao said: "Use a hammer to tap, shock open the stone, don't use too much force."

  Lei Xingfeng took out a steel hammer and lightly tapped it, hearing a cracking sound. The stone split into several pieces, instantly revealing half of the Tianyu Stone, with the other half still attached to the stone. With careful peeling, one could obtain a piece of Tianyu Stone.

  Song Jiao couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah yeah, it's really possible! Haha, haha, hahahaha!" He was overjoyed and didn't know what to do. He needed a large amount of Tianyu Stone, which is why he often came here. Once confirmed, Lei Xingfeng could find the location of the Tianyu Stone, and his heart's joy was almost uncontrollable. This meant that he could collect it all at once, and then he wouldn't have to come to this ghostly place again.

  "Alright, I know what to do now," said Leixing Feng.

  Song Jiao said: "A Feng, you come to command, we will all listen to your orders." He couldn't care about being the true lord anymore, as long as he could find enough Tianyu Stone, anything was fine.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Alright, everyone listen to me, who has an opinion?" He couldn't help but crack a joke.

  No one had an opinion, Xin Zhaolun said: "A Feng, you command."
