Chapter 180 – Bu Zhou Mountain (2/2)

“When do we set off?” Tang Tian asked impatiently. He just broke through level six, and he wanted to show off his powers.

“随时！”小姑娘欢声尖叫，蹦得老高。

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Tian and gang, came to the foot of a towering mountain. The mountain was bare, full of rocks, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and seemed extremely barren, not in the least beautiful.

“This is Bu Zhou Mountain?” Tang Tian was curious, this huge mountain, from afar, did not seem in the least odd. He bent and picked up a brown stone from the ground, the stone was heavy, and extremely hard. But what aroused Tang Tian’s attention was, this rock, could actually slightly stir the True Power in his body.

Tang Tian was stirred, “This stone is odd!”

The others also picked up brown stones and held them in their hands, Ling Xu and the rest, all had slight changes in expression. Everyone’s gazes were cast on the huge mountain before them, and their expressions were bad. Especially Di Heng Zhan and Qing Luan, looks of hesitation instantly surfaced.

“Missy, there’s something weird here!”

Di Heng Zhan was still trying his best to the end.

The little girl pouted, “If there’s nothing weird, what exploring would we do?” She paused, and continued, “This type of brown stone is known as Brown Muscovite, but their quality are all average. Brown Muscovites of good quality are almost half-transparent, and are extremely pricey. Sister Xue, there might even be Brown Muscovites mines here!”

Gu Xue was suddenly interested, pure Brown Muscovites were extremely pricey. If they have a mine producing good quality Brown Muscovites, then the Gu Family would never be in need of money again. Most importantly, Bu Zhou Mountain was ownerless, this place did not belong to any clans.

“If it’s true, then it’s really awesome.” Gu Xue smiled, “If we could really find it, that would be due to everyone’s efforts, and everyone could have a share.”

The little girl was surprised. Gu Xue’s background was far worse than her, but Gu Xue’s intelligence made the little girl astonished. The little girl has seen all kinds of plots and wrangles, and was extremely sensitive to such areas. If there was really a mine of Brown Muscovites, of everyone present, only the Gu Family had the ability to develop it. Because only local forces, like Gu Family, had the ability to mine. And everyone would not fight with Gu Xue, on account of Tang Tian.

Besides, with the wealth of Wu Hou government, a mere Brown Muscovites mine was peanuts to the little girl. Yet Gu Xue could personally propose it first, which made the little girl feel extremely commendable.

“Thanks Sister Xue.” The little girl smiled sweetly.

Di Heng Zhan was aroused, he was different from Qing Luan. Qing Luan was an orphan since young, and was considered a true member of the establishment, thus monetary issues did not mean anything to her, while Di Heng Zhan had his own clan, so his unavoidable duty was to let his clan lead a better life.

The clan has immense need for money as well. If they could develop a stable source of income, it would be great news to the clan. However, he was amazed by Gu Xue’s hospitality too, if it was mentioned by those old fogeys who were well-versed in worldly matters, he would not have been so surprised. But Gu Xue was so young, yet she was so seasoned, the future of Gu Family, will be great!

Di Heng Zhan laughed, “Then we must find it! Even I am hooked.”

Only Ling Xu seemed uninterested, he carried his silver spear on his shoulders, a face of displeasure. Actually, he had no wish to come along, for Tang Tian’s breakthrough to level six made him extra stressed, thus these few days he has been training hard.

At this time, to go on an adventure with a little girl was such a waste of time!

But Tang Tian insisted that he came along, and he was rather helpless towards Tang Tian’s antics. This fellow was an unscrupulous bastard, to make mischief during one’s training was definitely more than possible.

“Hmm?” Ling Xu’s gaze was suddenly transfixed.

Everyone was attracted by Ling Xu’s exclamation, and turned around. Ling Xu has already carried his silver spear and walked straight towards a patch of thick shrub, that shrub seemed perfectly normal, and grew on a steep slope.

Ling Xu had cleared away the shrubs with his silver spear and revealed a flight of abandoned stone steps.

Everyone crowded over.

“Eh, there’s still stone steps here?” Tang Tian was amazed, “Seemed like someone really lived here before, even specially making a flight of stone steps.”

Ling Xu hugged his silver spear and squatted down, carefully inspecting.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and said in a deep voice, “This was hacked using a sword.”

Tang Tian was stunned, and moved closer, “Eh, it’s true. This person is so formidable, actually able to hack a flight of stone steps using a sword!”

Visible sword marks could still be seen on the stone steps.

Ling Xu suddenly removed his silver spear, and aimed it the brown stone nearby.

Ding!

Sparks flew everywhere, and left only a shallow dent the size of a yellowstone.

Ssss!

Everyone gasped, everyone knew very well Ling Xu’s prowess. Even Ling Xu’s face, looked bad, for the solidness of the brown stone, was far more than he imagined. To be able to hack step by step using a sword on such solid brown stones, how challenging it must be.

The martial artist who hacked these stone steps, was far more formidable than every one of them.

As they looked at the rising stone steps in the middle of the shrubs, everyone suddenly realized, this adventure was not so easy as they had thought.
