Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 573 - 541 Alliance with 9 Cold Mountain

Due to the need for clearing, under Lu Ping’s guidance, Lu Yuanshan wielded the Golden Crow Sword to excavate the ore vein and search for the traces of these two ore vein creatures.

This process was very simple, so much so that in just about half an hour, Lu Yuanshan excavated a direct passage to the ore vein creatures’ nest and saw the two creatures.

The appearance of these two creatures is very similar to fire spirits, presenting a semi-human form.

Their forms have evolved to resemble humanoids, with clearly defined facial features, but their expressions appear very simple-minded, looking harmless to humans and animals.

They emit flames all over, and their bodies are formed from condensed Fire Radiance Stone, possessing the strength of the eighth or ninth-layer Qi Cultivation.

Upon seeing Lu Yuanshan’s arrival, the two Fire Radiant Creatures immediately launched an attack, intending to eliminate this intruder.

Lu Yuanshan’s strike was straightforward, directly attacking one of the Fire Radiant Creatures.

Whoosh!

This Fire Radiant Creature’s attack was very straightforward; it opened its mouth and spat, flames condensing in its mouth, jetting out a heatwave to engulf Lu Yuanshan in flames.

Before it even approached, the scorching high temperature swept over, causing Lu Yuanshan to feel a burst of heat. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Faced with such an attack, Lu Yuanshan naturally had no trouble defending against it.

He executed a simple move, with a wave of his sleeve, a strong stream of magical power unfolded, sweeping away the surging fire tide to all sides.

These were no ordinary flames; upon contacting surrounding rock walls, they immediately ignited, even melting the stones.

"Slash!"

Lu Yuanshan uttered a low command, wielding the Golden Crow Sword, slashing out with one strike.

The might of this strike left the nearest Fire Radiant Creature unable to avoid it, and with a bang, it was decapitated.

The Golden Crow Sword then swiveled in the air, its force undiminished, slashing towards the other Fire Radiant Creature.

Faced with Lu Yuanshan’s attack, this Fire Radiant Creature utilized its Lifebound Divine Techniques, controlling nearby rubble to form a solid stone wall in front of it, trying to block the attack.

However, this was naturally useless.

The Golden Crow Sword cut through the stone wall like a hot knife through butter, splitting it in half.

Crash!

Lu Yuanshan’s figure moved, executing the Light Body Technique, turning into a shadow, instantaneously teleporting in front of the Fire Radiant Creature.

With one palm strike, he directly attacked the creature’s head.

The opponent’s expression didn’t change—perhaps because it had only evolved to this level and couldn’t yet show expressions, it appeared expressionless.

It wanted to resist, but its speed was far inferior to Lu Yuanshan’s.

The next moment, its head was shattered by Lu Yuanshan’s palm, exploding with a roar.

The headless body then fell to the ground with a thud.

After dealing with the two Fire Radiant Creatures, Lu Yuanshan collected their bodies in his Storage Bag, as they can be refined into magical artifacts and are refining materials, naturally leaving no reason to waste them.

Next, he conducted an exploration of the surroundings.

It’s worth mentioning that within the Fire Radiant Creatures’ nest, there’s a chance of birthing a mineral called Fire Radiance Golden Crystal.

This mineral is nurtured by the Fire Radiant Creatures, condensing the essence of the Fire Radiance Stone, taking at least a hundred years to form.

Lu Ping followed on the side and, with just a simple search, discovered the presence of Fire Radiance Golden Crystal.

The Fire Radiance Golden Crystal here was about the size of a fist.

Despite its small size, this fist-sized piece of Fire Radiance Golden Crystal is actually quite valuable.

It’s equivalent to about sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

Aside from the Fire Radiance Golden Crystal, there were no other treasures.

However, the purpose of this journey was to eliminate the Fire Radiant Creatures, not treasure hunting.

Having eradicated the threat here, over the next few days, Lu Yuanshan began gathering mortals to come and mine this ore vein.

Since Cyan Mountain Sect itself has experience in mining Fire Source Stone veins and doesn’t lack manpower, Lu Yuanshan directly dispatched some personnel from the Fire Source Stone vein to be responsible for mining the Fire Radiance Stone vein.

Xuu Yi, as the Defender, stood guard at the domain of this ore vein.

After several days of mining, the first batch of Fire Radiance Stones was quickly extracted.

A fist-sized Fire Radiance Stone is worth a hundred Spirit Stones.

Its other function is to support cultivation.

As long as a Spirit Root Cultivator possesses gold, fire, or wood attributes, they can use this Fire Radiance Stone to assist in cultivation.

With the mining of Fire Radiance Stones, the existence of this ore vein would naturally become known to the outside world.

First to learn of this were from the Dubhe Institute.

The Dubhe Institute’s intelligence network is widespread across the Chu Kingdom and every corner of Lingxi State.

Upon learning of a Tier Four ore vein being discovered in the Crane Cry Mountain Range, the Dubhe Institute paid attention to this ore vein for a few days.

Fortunately, the Dubhe Institute is large and backed by the Beidou Bureau, showing no interest in this ore vein.

Under the Dubhe Institute’s domain, there are already known to be more than a dozen ore veins.

Among these, there are six Tier Four ore veins.

Dubhe Institute tacitly allowed Cyan Mountain Sect to mine this ore vein without intending to intervene.

Following the Dubhe Institute was the Nine Cold Mountain.

Although knowing Cyan Mountain Sect discovered this ore vein, Liiu Qiumei didn’t report this news to Nine Cold Mountain, nor inform Elder Jiang.

The news was actively sent by Lu Yuanshan.

Following Lu Ping’s suggestion, Lu Yuanshan proactively contacted Dubhe Institute.

Alongside Liiu Qiumei, he met with Elder Jiang, expressing a desire to co-mine this ore vein with Nine Cold Mountain, to which Elder Jiang responded promptly.

"If Nine Cold Mountain is to partner with Cyan Mountain Sect to mine the Fire Radiance Stone vein, Cyan Mountain Sect just needs to allocate fifty percent of the ore vein’s benefits, and the deal will be done."

Elder Jiang’s response was very straightforward.

It was a fifty-fifty split.

Upon learning Elder Jiang’s requirement, Lu Yuanshan was somewhat surprised.

Because, in his initial plan, he intended to give at least sixty percent of the benefits to Nine Cold Mountain.

After all, according to Lu Ping, the reason for bringing Nine Cold Mountain into the ore vein mining was simple.

It was to use Nine Cold Mountain as a backing, or rather as an ally, to strengthen Cyan Mountain Sect’s power.

This way, with Nine Cold Mountain and Cyan Mountain Sect jointly mining the ore vein, any external force intending to tamper with the ore vein must first weigh their own strength, either to contend with Nine Cold Mountain or Cyan Mountain Sect.

Elder Jiang’s name in the Chu Kingdom is indeed well-known, both respected and feared.

Thus, their intention was to have Elder Jiang act as a protective umbrella, granting Cyan Mountain Sect sufficient confidence to mine the Fire Radiance Stone vein.

Elder Jiang, being perceptive, naturally understood Lu Ping’s intention, acknowledging the true purpose of Lu Yuanshan’s visit, and tacitly agreed to cooperate with Cyan Mountain Sect.
