Chapter 168 Obsession

Every time the Gold-Eating Rat discovers something, it is not 100% certain that it will find a metal spiritual mine.

"No, Thirteenth Uncle." Li Xingsheng also shook his head, "I have great confidence in the Rat, but I am particularly curious about what metal spiritual mine it has found, and how big the metal spiritual mine is."

This is all what Li Xingsheng is curious about.

After all, this is the first time that the Rat has discovered a metal spiritual mine.

Li Qianqing nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he looked at the Rat who was still digging hard.

The location where the Rat is digging now seems to be the center just above the Blue Rock Spiritual Mine, which makes Li Qianqing look up to the Rat again.

"By the way, Xingsheng, how far away from here did your friend notice the abnormality?"

"About one mile." Li Xingsheng thought about it before answering.

One mile... ninety feet underground...

Li Qianqing made a simple estimate, and the Rat could probably detect the location of the metal spiritual mine about one hundred and ninety feet underground in a straight line.

In this way, the mutant Rat is more than six times that of the ordinary Gold-Eating Rat.

Li Qianqing was very satisfied.

"Well, this metal spirit mine is probably in a relatively deep position."

Li Xingsheng couldn't help but glance at Li Qianqing. Thirteenth Uncle could make such a judgment based on this information... The most important thing is that Thirteenth Uncle and he both trust Shushu.

"Thirteenth Uncle, what should we do next?" Li Xingsheng asked subconsciously.

"Of course, we should find suitable clansmen to come and dig."

There are still many cultivators in the Li family who practice earth attribute skills. This kind of cultivator is more suitable for mining and excavation.

There are no cultivators in the late Qi training stage who practice earth attribute skills in Changqing Mountain. Changqing Mountain needs to send a cultivator.

"Okay, Thirteenth Uncle." Li Xingsheng nodded and looked at Shushu who was still digging, "Shushu, we should go."

"Jiji..."

Shushu didn't look up and responded reluctantly. Why are you leaving again after just coming here? Didn't I agree with Shushu last time that I would let Shushu dig out food this time!

"The little guy's obsession is quite deep." Although Li Qianqing didn't understand what the gold-eating rat was saying, he could still make a rough guess based on the sound and emotions.

"I've made a fool of myself for Uncle Thirteen." Li Xingsheng scratched his head embarrassedly. After all, Shushu was the monster he taught, and it was he who said he would not sign the contract.

There was no other way, so Li Xingsheng could only mention Shushu.

Let Shushu go, let him go quickly...

Li Xingsheng looked at Shushu, who was flailing his fangs and claws, and felt a little helpless. He really didn't expect that Shushu would have this problem before. He had almost no talent for digging, but he would want to keep digging when he encountered such a situation.

Uncle Thirteen could at least detect the position of ten feet underground. Uncle Thirteen had just said that he didn't find anything, which meant that Shushu had to dig at least ten feet down to have a chance to dig metal spirit ore, and with Shushu's speed, this was undoubtedly a huge project.

"If you encounter such a situation, you must explain it well. Your little friend is very smart." Li Qianqing looked at Li Xingsheng, who was helpless, and reminded him.

Although he had no experience in taming beasts, sometimes the solutions to problems were essentially the same.

Li Xingsheng glanced at Li Qianqing, then nodded, thinking about how to convince Shushu.

Li Qianqing was watching from the side. He had already reminded him, and it was up to Li Xingsheng to decide next.

"Shushu, this is it. I'm sure you can feel that the metal spirit mine is far away from you. It will take too long to dig it this way. Don't dig now. When I find the metal spirit mine below, I will definitely bring you here as soon as possible. What do you think?"

As soon as Li Xingsheng finished speaking, Shushu's struggle became smaller and smaller.

Li Xingsheng didn't catch Shushu when he saw this, but put it down.

Shushu on the ground raised his head and looked at Li Xingsheng, chirping twice, as if to say that it was a deal!

"Shushu is really good, this is a reward for you." Li Xingsheng handed the chewed inferior spirit stone to Shushu first, and then prepared to take out another inferior spirit stone.

Shushu took the spirit stone and took a bite, then pointed at Li Qianqing and then at himself.

"I know this is yours." Li Xingsheng smiled helplessly. He hadn't taken out his spirit stone yet, and the gold-eating rat thought he was fooling it.

"This is also your reward in my hand, but you can't take it now, so just put it here with me first."

Shushu nodded his little head to indicate that it was okay.

Li Qianqing didn't look at them when he saw this, but took out a sound transmission talisman.

This situation should also be explained to the great grandfather, and then let him send a clan member over.

The current situation of the Li family is indeed a little short of manpower. In September next year, there will be tens of thousands of Li children who need to test their spiritual roots. By then, I hope there will be more Li family cultivators with good talents.

In the end, Li Qianqing put away the sound transmission talisman and chose not to use it. A sound transmission talisman is also very expensive, and the metal spirit ore will not run away underground. After comprehensive consideration, he decided to send a clan member in the middle stage of Qi Refining back to Changqing Mountain to inform the great grandfather and the fourth uncle of this news.

When he looked at the man and the rat again, he said.

"Go back to Changqing Mountain."

"Yes, Uncle Thirteen." After Li Xingsheng responded, the rat on the ground immediately came to Li Qianqing's shoulder.

It knew that if it went back now, Li Xingsheng would still be caught by Li Qianqing.

Before leaving, Li Qianqing couldn't help but look back at the location here and note the topography from above.

The metal spirit mine is located ninety feet underground. For cultivators who practice earth-attributed skills in the late stage of Qi Refining, it takes a long time to dig before they can see the spirit mine.

Mining spirit mines is not as simple as digging a hole.

The most basic condition for completing the excavation task is that people must be able to go down and come up well, otherwise, a vertical hole is for cultivators in the foundation-building stage to use?

Only cultivators above the foundation-building stage can use such a hole conveniently, because they can fly up directly. For such micro-level metal spirit mines, mortal warriors are generally used. If cultivators are used, the cost is a bit too high.

Moreover, the Li family is still short of cultivators, and basically will not use cultivators to mine micro-metal spirit mines.

Now, except for Li Qianqing, no one can be 100% sure that there must be a micro-metal spirit mine below, so the distribution of Li Xingsheng's reward will not be distributed until the Li family officially contacts the metal spirit mine.

Li Xingsheng will get different rewards for discovering different metal spirit mines.

Li Qianqing conservatively estimated that Li Xingsheng could get at least 10,000 contribution points for the discovery of this blue rock spirit mine.

His divine sense has not yet detected the entire blue rock spirit mine.
