Chapter 299 This Time Really Made a Big Profit_2
Each time the Sword Qi descended, it sparked fire, as the texture of the rock was incredibly hard. Li Qian suddenly used his immortal senses to scan and, using the method of identifying materials from Divine Edge Refining, began to discern.
Of course, the Jade Talisman circling around him was also very peculiar; it could emit light and, when shining on minerals, determine the presence and amount of Immortal Gold.
This was something prepared by the Ethereal Fairy Sect.
After all, identifying Immortal Gold Mines is of utmost importance.
However, Li Qian did not directly rely on the Jade Talisman for scanning, but began to discern by himself.
"There is indeed Immortal Gold, but the content is a bit low, and... it contains quite a bit of other Spirit Gold and Immortal Gold..."
Li Qian's eyes lit up.
No wonder they say Immortal Gold Mines often have other Immortal Gold accompanying them.
No wonder the immortal sect is willing to spend one gram of Immortal Gold to exchange for a thousand Immortal Crystals, besides containing Immortal Gold, there are also other Immortal Gold, which are of considerable value.
Due to the presence of Immortal Gold in the Immortal Gold Mine, the difficulty of refining is very high; even if the Earth Immortals know there are other Immortal Gold, they can't refine it out.
"However, this shouldn't be too difficult for me..."
Li Qian thought to himself.
Then, Li Qian used the Jade Talisman to scan and confirmed that there was Immortal Gold in the rock, but the content was very low, estimating that a hundred tons of such ore wouldn't yield even one gram of Immortal Gold.
At this, Li Qian shook his head.
No wonder so many Earth Immortals are needed for mining.
The content of Immortal Gold is simply too low.
Only by massively mining low-content Immortal Gold Mines can enough Immortal Gold be produced ahead of time.
Of course, with a bit of luck, coming across a rich Immortal Gold Mine would be another story.
Even those with extreme luck might end up with high-content original Immortal Gold.
Original Immortal Gold refers to high-content Immortal Gold Mines.
The content ratio often exceeds fifty percent.
However, these are extremely rare, only forming under special circumstances.
Li Qian guessed that the Immortal Register Disciples from the Ethereal Fairy Sect who discovered the Immortal Gold Mine must have found such original Immortal Gold, which is why they confirmed the existence of an Immortal Gold Mine in this Secret Realm.
After all, where original Immortal Gold appears often indicates the existence of an Immortal Gold Mine.
Thus, for over a month, Li Qian mined quite a bit of Immortal Gold Ore, but they were all of relatively low content.
Roughly around a hundred tons.
However, he kept only half, with the rest being thrown into Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
Moreover, the ones thrown into Chenzhong Cave Heaven were of relatively higher content.
Although the content was indeed limited.
He could have mined more...
But he didn't devote all his time to mining Immortal Gold Ore, reserving some time to enter Chenzhong Cave Heaven for cultivation.
On this day, Earth Immortal Mingyu from the Golden Jade Daoist Mansion sent a signal for all the Earth Immortals in the hundred-member team to gather together.
It turned out that the collection officer from the Ethereal Fairy Sect had arrived.
Every half-month, the Ethereal Fairy Sect would collect the mined Immortal Gold Ore.
When the Immortal Gold Ore was collected, the amount of Immortal Gold would be calculated based on its content, and the corresponding Immortal Crystals would be credited to the Earth Immortal Identity Token of those mining the Immortal Gold Mines.
Li Qian watched as each Earth Immortal handed over their Immortal Gold Ore, with amounts varying according to their cultivation level.
Those with low cultivation could mine around three to five tons.
Those with higher cultivation, around twenty to thirty tons...
Li Qian noticed that if he handed over the seventy to eighty tons of Immortal Gold Ore, it seemed a bit too much.
So, he immediately sent most of the Immortal Gold Ore from his Storage Device to Chenzhong Cave Heaven, leaving only about twenty tons.
After settling accounts with the collection officers, Li Qian earned two hundred and thirty points of Immortal Crystals.
In just over a month, earning over two hundred points of Immortal Crystals is astounding.
At least, for other servant disciples, each was overjoyed.
At the current rate, if it could continue for a year, with a base of a thousand Immortal Crystals guaranteed, earning two to three thousand Immortal Crystals would be easily achievable.
"Junior Brother, your mining speed is really fast."
Senior Brother Xiao He exclaimed as he saw the amount of Immortal Gold Ore Li Qian handed over.
Although it wasn't the most, it was enough to place him in the top five.
This drew the attention of many.
After all, the Luoyuan Taoist School was just a small Daoist School and not very noticeable within the Ethereal Fairy Sect.
"Just lucky, that's all."
Li Qian smiled.
Actually, his ability to mine so much was not purely due to high cultivation... After all, in this hundred-member team, there were two or three with similar cultivation levels to him, managing to mine twenty to thirty tons was their limit.
But Li Qian managed to dig over a hundred tons.
The reason was simple, he utilized the power of Frozen Sword Qi, making the originally hard Immortal Gold Ore become brittle, greatly reducing the difficulty of mining.
Li Qian suspected that the Power of Laws within the Frosty Seed would decompose the Immortal Gold...
He believed his Frosty Seed would definitely be able to refine Immortal Gold.
In the following months, Li Qian continued tirelessly mining Immortal Gold Mines every day, with increasing efficiency, but he still didn't find a rich Immortal Gold Mine, relying on quantity as his advantage.
On this day, as Li Qian submitted the Immortal Gold Ore again, he received some news from the collecting Earth Immortal.
"You may not know, this time a servant disciple from the Siyuan Daoist School had incredible luck, actually digging up a piece of original Immortal Gold. Tsk tsk, it's not small in weight, and through detection, the Immortal Gold content is estimated to be around nine hundred grams."
