In a battle between two sects, how can there not be casualties? To achieve such a brilliant victory with such a small cost had already left the remaining people very satisfied. The corpses of the fallen comrades were collected by Yu Yuanhua. The belongings of the deceased were also to be left for their descendants and families. If they had no relatives, their belongings would be reclaimed and used as rewards for the battle against the "Yin Mountain Sect". In the future, if any cultivators make significant contributions in the battle against the "Yin Mountain Sect", the belongings of these individuals would be distributed as rewards in an appropriate manner. Such a rule ensured that all disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were convinced and content. This was also one of the reasons why the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" fought fiercely and united as one. After Zhou Xu brought the miners back, he was called out. Li Yunjing and his companions questioned him about the situation in "Yellow Dragon Ridge". With his cooperation, Li Yunjing and his team learned a lot about the "Yellow Dragon Ridge Ore Vein". They were no longer completely ignorant about the ore vein. The warehouse in the mining area was sealed by Yu Yuanhua personally, temporarily storing everything away. The details of the spirit stone reserves were unknown to Li Yunjing and his fellow disciples. However, according to Zhou Xu’s account, this was a large ore vein, frequently producing high-grade spirit stones, although it had never yielded top-grade spirit stones. Li Yunjing nodded; by this calculation, the ore vein here should be more abundant than the one in the "Red Sun Valley". The group of comrades searched for about two hours and the sky had already brightened. Li Yunjing, being lively and uninjured, was naturally conscripted by Yu Yuanhua, who ordered him and ten other companions to patrol "Yellow Dragon Ridge" to check for any leftover dangers. The others took the opportunity to rest and recover their mana to prepare for any potential counterattacks by the "Yin Mountain Sect". Although Li Yunjing was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to follow orders and began to patrol the mountain ridge. This was Li Yunjing’s first time undertaking a patrol mission! However, it wasn’t for nothing! All these tasks could be checked on their identity tokens. In the future, when Li Yunjing wasn’t regularly taking on tasks, these would count as partially completed assignments. Yu Yuanhua, on the other hand, was very rule-abiding, doing everything according to the sect’s regulations without abusing his high status and strong combat power to force others to do things. This boosted everyone’s morale, and no one felt exhausted. Li Yunjing and his ten companions discussed briefly before separating to patrol in different directions. Li Yunjing’s patrol direction was the southwest of "Yellow Dragon Ridge", an equally desolate place with sparse, yellowing vegetation, and scattered stones all over the mountain. "Huh? This seems somewhat unusual!" After patrolling for fifteen minutes, Li Yunjing’s eyes brightened. He descended from the air and began to inspect the surrounding three miles of mountainous terrain, finally stopping near a pile of stones for a closer look. The spiritual energy here seemed exceptionally dense. Standing here, Li Yunjing felt waves of spiritual energy pouring in, as if there was some treasured land beneath the pile of stones. Thinking it over, Li Yunjing used his "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" to clear away the stones bit by bit. After fifteen minutes, the pile of stones was completely cleared away. Li Yunjing carefully observed the ground. The soil here was somewhat hard, with tiny wisps of white gas seeping from below. This was indeed spiritual energy! Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩 Extremely dense spiritual energy! "Is there a spirit stone mine beneath?" This thought flashed through Li Yunjing’s mind. Continuing to use his "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" to clear the soil, he dug down to a depth of ten feet, revealing crystal-clear spirit stone embryos of various shapes. A vein of ore clearly extended beneath this area. The glowing spirit stones were like jade, embedded deep within the raw rock. These spirit stone embryos needed to be mined, processed, and cut to normal sizes to become usable currency in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. At this moment, these raw stones still needed to undergo a refining process to become usable spirit stones for cultivators. Li Yunjing refrained from acting rashly and examined the surroundings. The spirit stones embedded in the rocks came in various sizes, and the concentration of spiritual energy did not reach middle-grade levels. With few and low-quality spirit stones, Li Yunjing had no improper thoughts. "It seems this ore deposit is indeed rich! Securing this territory is quite a gain for the sect!" Seeing no other anomalies, Li Yunjing retrieved his "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword". Over the following seven days, no one from the "Yin Mountain Sect" appeared. After patrolling for seven days, Li Yunjing also began to rest. In a mining area , Li Yunjing had no intention of going inside. Li Yunjing found a place where a "Yin Mountain Sect" disciple had once lived, checked it, and settled down there. Setting up restrictions around his residence, Li Yunjing slowly adjusted his breathing and calmed himself. First, he reviewed his cultivation over this period, particularly in the five vice positions. Having just been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm not long ago, the five vice positions still lagged significantly and were at high Tier One. At this level, they could no longer provide any substantial help to Li Yunjing. "I must make a breakthrough in the Alchemy Dao! After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, each cultivation session requires Tier Two elixirs, which are very expensive and quite a burden!"
