In simpler terms, it was “extreme yin begets yang.” A Fire Jade Stone had appeared inside the Water Jade Mine!
Water Jade Stones themselves were already relatively rare ores. A Fire Jade Stone, which could only form after an extreme reversal, might not appear in even one out of a hundred Water Jade Mines. Its value was obvious.
“I recall that when a Fire Jade Stone comes into contact with seawater, it erupts with an intense scorching airflow. That must be the current that blasted us out just now.”
“To think it was a Fire Jade Stone. I remember one piece is worth ten thousand Contribution Points?”
“It still depends on the specific size, but regardless, the appearance of a Fire Jade Stone is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for us.”
“We’ll divide this Fire Jade Stone equally.”
Yin Sha and the other three cultivators were overjoyed, never expecting a Fire Jade Stone to appear.
After a few words, they decided to re-enter the mine tunnel to find this Fire Jade Stone.
Bai Sha was also very surprised hearing this from the side.
A Fire Jade Stone?
Was this the so-called lucky opportunity?
Thinking this, Bai Sha hurriedly moved closer.
Seeing Bai Sha approach, Yin Sha immediately said with a smile, “Bai Sha, once we find the Fire Jade Stone and divide it equally, you’ll get your share.”
Bai Sha nodded and then said, “I’m more concerned about the situation inside the mine tunnel. What was that disappearance of the entrance and exit about?”
Yin Sha thought for a moment and said, “I think we might have panicked and taken a wrong path earlier.”
“A wrong path? But weren’t you all certain before that you hadn’t gone the wrong way?” Bai Sha asked, surprised.
“That… but the subsequent surge of water actually washed us out, so the only explanation is we took a wrong path earlier. The inside of a mine tunnel looks similar everywhere, so misjudging isn’t strange.” Yin Sha spread her pectoral fins as she spoke.
Bai Sha felt things might not be so simple, but aside from this, she couldn’t think of any good explanation.
“Forget about that. Let’s quickly go find the Fire Jade Stone. I wonder how big it is. The bigger it is, the more astonishing the Contribution Points.” Hong Xing rubbed two of his tentacles together, looking very expectant.
“That’s right, let’s go.” Mo Hen was also very eager.
Hong Gang remained silent but kept clicking his two large claws together to express his excited mood.
They had been digging Water Jade Ore for a month, yet each of them had only earned a few hundred Contribution Points. That meant they couldn’t even earn ten thousand Contribution Points in an entire year.
How could they pass up a Fire Jade Stone worth ten thousand, possibly even more? Even if it had to be divided into five equal shares, for each of them, it would still be an extremely substantial income.
“Go go go!”
None of them had any intention of letting this windfall slip by. One by one, they immediately entered from the opening.
Bai Sha could only follow.
In her first and second lives, Yin Sha had also experienced the events here and survived. So there shouldn’t be any danger anymore.
However…
Recalling Yin Sha’s assessment of Mo Hen in those first and second lives, Bai Sha quietly swam to Yin Sha’s side and gently patted her with a pectoral fin.
“What is it?”
Yin Sha turned around and asked.
Bai Sha didn’t say much, only stopped.
Seeing this, Yin Sha also stopped.
Once the other cultivators had moved far ahead, Bai Sha lowered her voice and said, “Sister Yin Sha, be careful of the other cultivators, especially Mo Hen.”
“Be careful of them?” Yin Sha was startled.
“Yes. A Fire Jade Stone is undoubtedly a stroke of fortune. It’s hard to avoid someone getting crooked ideas and wanting to take it all for themselves. I felt Mo Hen’s gaze earlier was not right. Sister Yin Sha, it’s best you be on your guard,” Bai Sha said cautiously.
