Cultivation begins with ice harvesters

Chapter 86: Opportunity

As for the three storage bags, which were not very large, given Tong Bingfeng's cautious approach and his method of eliminating potential hazards, he naturally disposed of them in an area ten miles away from the Spirit Ice Mine.

"Fellow Daoist Liu Zong is quite diligent. Although he stayed in the mine, he must have worked hard all day to extract such a large amount of spirit ice."

Tong Bingfeng looked at the neatly arranged blocks of spiritual ice at the entrance of the mine and couldn't help but express his approval.

After all, although Erxiu barely managed to obtain the qualification to guard this spirit ice mine, he was currently almost penniless and urgently needed to sell spirit ice to exchange for more resources to ensure basic safety. If he attracted the attention of demonic beasts in the future, he would at least have the corresponding ability to protect himself.

"Unfortunately, about 70% of all these spirit ices are low-grade first-level spirit ices, and only about 30% are mid-grade first-level spirit ices."

"The production of miniature spirit ice veins is inherently limited by the veins themselves, and the output of mid-grade first-level spirit ice is quite rare."

This is a natural constraint. If this place were not a miniature spirit ice vein, where the danger outweighs the yield, the Chen family would never have released it.

"This spirit ice vein is rich in ice-attribute spiritual energy, and the aura is pure. Big Tooth should be able to make a more accurate distinction here by the spiritual energy aura emanating from spirit ice of different grades, and mine more first-grade mid-grade spirit ice with higher added value."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a brand new idea appeared and was firmly imprinted in his mind, unable to move.

Of course, Tong Bingfeng also wanted to use the effect of the big teeth to confirm some of the treasures that might exist in the spiritual vein.

After all, in a well-established mine, in addition to the spiritual items produced daily, there are usually some special spiritual items hidden. However, their numbers are too few to be easily discovered under the layers of tens of thousands of ordinary spiritual ice.

Unfortunately, this spirit ice mine encountered a freak with large front teeth who was naturally very sensitive to ice-attribute spiritual power. When he entered this place, he was like a fish in the sea, free to do whatever he wanted.

Tong Bingfeng was always a true action-oriented cultivator. As soon as his thoughts settled, he strode into the depths of the spirit ice mine.

Mining of the vein generally proceeds from the inside out in reverse, which is conducive to the orderly restoration and long-term mining of the entire Lingbing vein.

Although their mining progress and quantity exceeded the capacity of the spirit ice vein, they were still willing to carry out this kind of work, which did not require extra time or effort, according to the established rules.

Not to mention that when the Chen family cultivators come to collect their agreed share of spirit ice in the future, they will definitely enter the entrance of the mine and conduct a routine, hasty inspection. Therefore, the entrance area of ​​the spirit ice mine is just a formality and should not be over-exploited in order to maintain a basic level of decorum.

"Big teeth, seek the spirit, track, command."

He channeled his magical power from his dantian and poured it directly into the large tooth without hesitation. Because of the large amount of first-grade low-grade spiritual ice in the spiritual ice mine, he naturally needed to invest more and purer magical power to extract more valuable information from it.

As the special function of the big teeth was activated, streams of ice-attribute spiritual energy of varying thickness and concentration instantly converged from all directions and adhered to the big teeth.

Even though its functions include active filtering, it is still difficult to make an effective distinction when faced with hundreds or even thousands of spiritual energies rushing in.

Fortunately, Tong Bingfeng had anticipated this situation and proactively drew upon his mana to provide support and cooperation. The large teeth then quickly began to operate, expelling all the wisps of aura that were essentially similar to first-tier low-grade spiritual ice from the large teeth.

Only those with a few slightly different auras are worth Tong Bingfeng's time to examine.

This series of actions may seem complicated, but once things are on track, everything goes very smoothly. Especially after becoming familiar with the aura of first-grade low-level spiritual ice, one can actively filter out most of it.

From the outside, Tong Bingfeng was simply walking deeper into the spirit ice mine. The only difference between him and other cultivators was his two large, crystal-clear teeth that were completely free of any impurities, which were voluntarily exposed on his lips.

As time passed, the large incisor would occasionally tremble involuntarily, making the whole scene look somewhat strange.

If other cultivators were present, such strange behavior would undoubtedly attract extra attention, which is the fundamental reason why he only brought out the big tooth when he was absolutely safe.

"An extremely pure ice-attribute spiritual energy?"

Just as it was about to reach the deepest part of the spirit ice mine and thought it was going to return empty-handed, a pure ice-attribute spiritual power mixed with thousands of spirit ice auras suddenly caught its attention.

This ice-attribute spiritual power shares the same origin as the spirit ice, and judging solely from the size and robustness of its aura, it is remarkably similar to the spirit ice by a full eight parts.

The only difference was that the same amount of ice-attribute spiritual power appeared to be more refined, giving Big Teeth a strange, fleeting stinging sensation.

"Could it be that a piece of top-grade first-tier spirit ice was born in this miniature spirit ice vein?"

This was Tong Bingfeng's first instinctive judgment. Although, in general, miniature spirit ice veins cannot usually produce first-grade high-quality spirit ice, it is quite normal for one to appear occasionally.

"This piece of spiritual ice should be located not far from here. Let's mine it and investigate."

Having finally obtained something, Tong Bingfeng naturally wouldn't give up easily. With the help of the Great Fang's spirit-locking effect, after determining its approximate location, he swung the magic hammer in his hand, which was specially used for mining spirit ice. With the support of sufficient magic power, standard blocks of spirit ice fell down in an orderly manner, and under their accumulation, they were neatly stacked up.

Half an hour later, Tong Bingfeng took out a piece of mid-grade first-level spirit ice, and a light hidden in a deeper layer flashed and disappeared.

The expected first-grade high-level spiritual ice did not appear, but Tong Bingfeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

After all, all the spirit ice mined in this spirit ice mine, regardless of its grade, belongs to the two cultivators, and the value of first-grade high-quality spirit ice is not considered too precious.

However, if other treasures are discovered hidden within the spirit ice veins during the mining process, they undoubtedly belong to the cultivator's personal fortune and luck, and are certainly not within the scope of sharing.

"Click"

Before the various thoughts that were rising and falling in his mind could settle down, Tong Bingfeng's hands were also moving quickly. With a swift swing of his hammer, cracks appeared one after another, allowing him to feel the pure ice-attribute spiritual power more clearly.
