Chapter 1364: Spirit Stones
Chapter 1364: Spirit Stones
As Ling Feng entered the mountain, he fully opened his Divine Sense.
As he ventured deeper, he took in the surrounding environment completely.
He clearly felt the Spiritual Energy getting denser, making Ling Feng anticipate a significant discovery.
Reaching the foot of the mountain, Ling Feng halted his steps.
The Spiritual Energy, even richer than that in the Nine Heavens, overwhelmed him.
Without looking, it was obvious that untold amounts of Spirit Stones lay hidden in the mountain!
Ling Feng stood there dazed for a moment, then took out the satellite phone and called Zhang He.
Upon connection, the other party lazily asked, "Where have you run off to, and why are you using this number again?"
"Just want to ask you something, any recent news about Spirit Stones?" Ling Feng asked.
"Spirit Stones?"
Zhang He was taken aback, then pondered for a moment, "Haven’t heard anything, why are you asking?"
"Just asking, forget I said anything!"
Ling Feng said and promptly hung up the phone.
On the other side, Zhang He was puzzled, opened the internal website on his computer, and searched for the word Spirit Stone.
He immediately found a document, an intelligence summary issued globally a week ago.
The document’s level wasn’t high, just for reference, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it then, only skimmed through before ignoring it.
But now, upon examining it, he found the report stated that recently some Spirit Stones suddenly appeared for sale on overseas black markets. Though not numerous, they had been purchased as soon as they appeared.
Seeing the report’s content, Zhang He called Ling Feng back to inform him of the matter.
"What does this indicate?" Ling Feng asked.
"It indicates someone has discovered a new Spirit Stone mine. Why exactly are you asking?" Zhang He curiously inquired.
Ling Feng smiled, "I’ve also found a Spirit Stone mine!"
"Huh? Where?"
Zhang He straightened his posture instantly, fully alert.
"Come to the Nine Heavens later, I’ll bring you guys over."
Ling Feng finished speaking, hung up the phone, and then took out the portable Teleportation Array from the bracelet.
Quickly, at the mountain’s foot, bursts of white light flashed, and Ling Yao, Ling Ling, along with Long Xiaoyu and Zhang He appeared there.
As soon as they appeared, Ling Yao and Ling Ling furrowed their brows!
Like Ling Feng, they immediately sensed the intense Spiritual Energy!
"How could it be this dense!"
Nobody could compare to Ling Ling’s love for Spirit Stones, and she immediately showed a face full of delight.
Zhang He, on the other hand, looked around and then asked Ling Feng, "Where exactly is this place? Within Huaxia’s territory?"
"Yes, Qianxi."
Ling Feng nodded and then said to Ling Yao, "Sister, can you tell how many Spirit Stones are in this mountain?"
"Many, an unimaginable amount!" Ling Yao squinted her eyes and said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng wasn’t too pleased; instead, a sense of foreboding filled his heart!
However, he said nothing and instead told Zhang He, who looked elated, "Don’t get your hopes up yet. This isn’t unclaimed land; it’s the ancestral land of the Cheng Family from Harbor Island. If we really want to excavate the Spirit Stones here, we at least need their consent!"
"People from Harbor Island?"
Zhang He was momentarily stunned, then shook his head, "Spirit Stones are a strategic resource, their exploitation doesn’t require routine procedures!"
Seeing Ling Feng’s wry smile, his eyes glinted with an idea, "But since they’re your friends, perhaps it’d be good to talk it over first!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded and then said, "You report to the higher-ups, I have a more severe issue in mind, but we can discuss it later."
After saying that, he turned to leave and soon arrived where Zheng Yitong and others were.
Upon seeing Ling Feng return, she and Cheng Xiao both looked expectant, curiously asking, "How did it go?"
"I’ve confirmed my suspicions. Now that I’ve brought some friends, you all come with me into the mountain!" Ling Feng said.
The two women naturally had no objections, so with Ah Tai’s men, they headed into the mountain.
Reaching closer, upon seeing Ling Yao and others, Zheng Yitong was delighted, while Cheng Xiao was somewhat startled.
These three girls had stunning beauty, and seeing them in such a remote place made her think she was seeing divine beings!
Thankfully, with Zheng Yitong’s explanation, Cheng Xiao realized who they were, but still felt like dreaming, a bit bewildered.
Ling Feng, a little anxious, didn’t address her state and directly said, "Miss Cheng, we’ve confirmed this mountain contains a large amount of Spirit Stones, a type of stone useless to ordinary people but extremely valuable to us and strategically valuable to the country."
"Oh..."
Still confused, Cheng Xiao took a deep breath to calm herself upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, and then asked, "So, Mr. Ling intends to mine those stones?"
"Yes, and as soon as possible. But since this land belongs to your family, I need your permission." Ling Feng nodded.
"Did the Peng Family target me also for the Spirit Stones here?" Cheng Xiao asked.
"Exactly!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Although I’m not sure how they learned of the Spirit Stone resources here, it’s clear now that the Peng Family certainly isn’t acting for Huaxia’s benefit by targeting this place, so I’ll have a good chat with them later!"
"Since that’s the case..."
Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "I have no objections. As long as it’s beneficial to the country, I’ll support it!"
"Thank you!"
Ling Feng nodded and then looked at Ling Yao, "Sister, let’s take a look first."
"Okay!"
Ling Yao nodded, her body suddenly starting to float, her palm glowing as the rock face on the mountain before them rumbled!
Among those present, Ah Tai and Cheng Xiao were witnessing such miraculous abilities for the first time, instantly stunned.
The massive rock face suddenly split apart, moved aside by an invisible force, revealing a circular area shimmering with white light.
Then Ling Ling flashed over, already there!
"They’re top-grade, all top-grade!"
Listening to her excited voice, before Ling Feng could react, Zhang He jumped up joyfully, rushing over immediately.
Soon, everyone else also approached; it was an area the size of a basketball court, littered with crystalline transparent stones.
As for the exact quantity, it was impossible to discern.
At this moment, Ling Yao said, "This kind of crystalline cluster Spirit Stone, I’m seeing for the first time."
"Sister, this is naturally formed!" Ling Ling said.
"Huh?"
The originally ordinary statement sounded like thunder in their ears, stunning everyone!
"How do you know?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
"It’s the result of a subterranean Spiritual Energy eruption. If we mine them immediately, they’ll continue to grow!" Ling Ling explained.
