Fairy Eye

Yue Qingshan followed up:

"Han Lin! This Senior Brother Zhao is one of the captains of the eight pioneering teams!"

"Do you know what a pioneering team is? It's the vanguard that starts mining along the main road."

"Any good stuff up ahead has already been dug up by them!"

"If you don't join, you'll just be left out in the cold. After a month, you might not even find a single piece of blue and white jade."

"Moreover, Senior Brother Zhao is the son of the Prince of Yunzhong County, with a powerful background! With your trashy talent, you'll never amount to anything in this lifetime. You might as well follow him; even if you fail in your cultivation in the future, you can still return to the secular world and get some official position!"

Yue Qingshan looked at Han Lin with an arrogant expression, seemingly trying to persuade him but actually flattering Zhao Ruiling.

Han Lin hadn't expected that Yue Qingshan would have this side to him.

A sense of disgust arose in his heart towards Yue Qingshan.

It wasn't just his smug, petty behavior; more importantly, Yue Qingshan seemed unable to control his tongue, actually bringing up his nine spiritual roots talent, perhaps even using it as a source of pride, and telling Zhao Ruiling and the others about it.

He glanced at Yue Qingshan indifferently, then turned to Zhao Ruiling and said, "I imagine there are conditions for joining your team, aren't there?"

Zhao Ruiling chuckled softly: "Of course, if you join my team, you'll have to give me 90% of your daily earnings!"

Ninety percent?

Han Lin shook his head. "Sorry, senior brother, I'll just pick up the scraps at the back."

Zhao Ruiling's face immediately turned cold: "Han Lin, you'd better think this through. Even if I take 90%, it's still better than you not being able to dig up a single one!"

"Besides, this is a one-time opportunity. If you don't agree, I won't accept you again, even if you beg to join!"

Yue Qingshan chimed in, "Han Lin, it's a blessing you've accumulated over many lifetimes that Senior Brother Zhao personally recruited you. Don't be ungrateful. Look at your face; besides Senior Brother Zhao, who wouldn't find it repulsive?"

"That's enough!"

Han Lin's gaze turned cold. "You can leave now. I need to get to work."

"Hehe, okay, okay!"

"You ugly freak, you've got some nerve, but it'd be best if you kept it up!"

"Let's go!"

Zhao Ruiling's face turned red and then pale with anger. After saying this, he flung his sleeves and stormed off.

"You don't appreciate kindness." Yue Qingshan gave Han Lin a mocking look, as if he deserved it, and then quickly chased after Zhao Ruiling and the others.

Han Lin thought he was used to being ridiculed, but he was still quite angry at what had just happened. He took a few deep breaths before he finally calmed himself down.

Then he took a hoe and began to dig.

The wall in front of us is mainly weathered stone. Although it is not as soft as sand, it is not completely impossible to dig.

With each stroke of his hoe, Han Lin quickly dug a tunnel seven feet high and three feet wide.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dig the tunnel bigger, but at this width, surrounded by hard stone walls, he simply couldn't dig any further and could only move forward.

By this time, the cave passage was already more than ten feet deep. Han Lin was covered in sweat from exhaustion, so he sat down to rest.

The scene of my cultivation last night flashed through my mind.

Although, close to dawn, he successfully attained enlightenment and awakened his consciousness.

However, after cultivating within the Dharma Realm for several hours, he still showed no signs of breaking through the first barrier of his Qi Meridian.

Firstly, the spiritual energy inside the stone house is too thin, and it takes a long time to recover after each absorption, resulting in insufficient spiritual energy supply.

The second reason is his talent. His breakthroughs are extremely difficult, like an impenetrable wall. When his Guiyuan Force strikes it, it makes a clanging sound but leaves no trace.

Thinking of this, Han Lin unconsciously frowned.

"If I try to rely on natural spiritual energy to cultivate step by step, I'm afraid I'll really be stuck at the first level of Qi Refining."

"Now it seems that the only hope is to work hard to earn points and exchange them for spirit stones."

"However, this mine doesn't seem as simple as I thought. Powerful people have monopolized the mining rights. I either have to accept being exploited or I can only try to survive in the cracks. It's really not easy..."

Han Lin rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on, then stood up, ready to continue digging.

But at this moment, Han Lin suddenly froze.

Since fusing with the Heavenly Eye last night, I've been busy cultivating and completely forgot to experience its innate abilities.

I wonder what the wonderful use of this so-called keen insight is.

Thinking of this, Han Lin immediately focused his mind on the space between his eyebrows, following the instructions of his inherited memories, and then silently recited, "Insightful observation!"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a strange feeling immediately arose in Han Lin's mind.

It was as if he had an extra eye.

You can see the outside world without using your natural eyes.

In fact, he did not have an extra eye.

Only the vertical line between his brows, which looked as if it had been drawn, seemed to have countless stars twinkling in it.

The image that this vertical line presented to him was very different from what his normal eyes would see.

The stone wall in front of him seemed to be split into countless tiny particles, and he seemed to be able to see the internal structure of the stone.

This greatly surprised Han Lin.

"Can you see the internal structure of the stone?" Han Lin suddenly realized something and his spirits lifted.

If that's the case, then wouldn't I be able to find out where blue and white jade exists without even having to dig?

Before he could think of anything else, Han Lin's first thought was to use the Heavenly Eye for mining.

Without hesitation, Han Lin slowly shifted his gaze to the stone wall in front of him and began to examine it closely.

During the process, in addition to seeing the stone wall split into countless tiny particles, he also saw a few wisps of spiritual energy floating in the passage.

Spiritual energy?

It's not clouds or mist.

It is something that cannot be seen with the naked eye under normal circumstances, but can only be detected by divine sense.

He can actually see through the "heavenly eye"?

This ability also secretly delighted Han Lin. Wouldn't it be easy to find places with abundant spiritual energy for cultivation in the future?

But soon, Han Lin couldn't think about it anymore. He actually saw a fist-sized jade stone inside the stone wall in front of him. It was pure white and had many blue patterns mixed in.

Blue and white jade!

Han Lin was both surprised and delighted. He had only tried his luck, but unexpectedly, there was actually blue-and-white jade inside the hard stone wall.

To verify whether what he was seeing was real, Han Lin immediately picked up a pickaxe and began to strike the stone wall in front of him with the pointed end.

When, when, when!

Sparks flew and ear-piercing sounds echoed through the shallow mine tunnel.

"Is that guy crazy? He's actually banging on the stone wall!"

"What an idiot! How could there be jade inside a rock!"

"Let's go, let's go. What's there to see? Let's get back to work, or we'll come home empty-handed again."

"..."

Several miners carrying hoes passed by and, seeing Han Lin making a loud clanging sound while banging on the stone wall, couldn't help but mock him.

But Han Lin seemed not to hear him and continued to chisel away forcefully.
