”It’s like this. This matter is related to the Black Profound Copper Mine on my side,” said Elder Jin Wanchun, taking a deep breath.

”Related to the Black Profound Copper Mine?”

Upon hearing this, Iron One and his companions’ expressions slightly darkened, followed by a quick change of facial expression, their voices turning cold: ”Could it be that the Red Lion Cave is deploying a divide-and-conquer strategy, attacking your Black Profound Copper Mine while sending others to delay us, preventing us from knowing and dividing our attention?”

”No, no, Lord Green Fright, you misunderstood. It’s not that the Red Lion Cave is so bold; it’s just that we discovered a more significant secret deep in the Black Profound Copper Mine...,” Elder Jin Wanchun quickly shook his head to deny, his tone and expression becoming a bit more urgent.

”More significant than the Red Lion Cave dispatching troops to attack you?”

Upon hearing this, the shock and seriousness in the eyes of the Eight Great Iron Guards deepened. They didn’t interrupt Jin Wanchun and waited quietly for him to speak.

”Exactly.” Hearing this, Jin Wanchun nodded vigorously, breathing heavily, and said, ”I don’t know if it’s luck or disaster. Within the Black Profound Copper Mine, we found an astonishing secret hidden that we could hardly imagine. Deep within that mine, we actually, actually discovered traces of Black Profound Copper Essence.”

”What did you say, Black Profound Copper Essence?!” Upon hearing this, Iron One and the other eight Iron Guards raised their voices by several octaves. Black, Black Profound Copper Essence? Could it be that within the Black Profound Copper Mine, Black Profound Copper Essence is buried!?!?

Upon thinking of this, their expressions changed instantly, becoming incomparably shocked and astounded.

After all, that’s Black Profound Copper Essence, something worth a fortune, not to be trifled with.

”Indeed, at first, I couldn’t believe it myself. Black Profound Copper Essence, what level of priceless treasure is that? But later, when I noticed something unusual, I took people to meticulously investigate the depths of the Black Profound Copper Mine overnight. Lord Green Fright, my lords, do you know what else we discovered?”

With a look as if he were dreaming, Jin Wanchun muttered in a daze.

”Discovered what?” Iron One and others asked.

Could it be that finding Black Profound Copper Essence isn’t significant enough? Is there even more shocking treasure later? How is that possible?

”I discovered that the traces of Black Profound Copper Essence in the depths of the Black Profound Copper Mine aren’t just scattered; they have formed a scale! Deep in the mine, covered by a layer of Black Profound Copper on the surface, underneath lies at least a micro vein-level Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, buried within!” Jin Wanchun said, licking his lips.

”What!? Already formed a scale, a micro, micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein?” Upon hearing this, even Mon Yi, who hadn’t understood the situation beforehand, was momentarily stunned, then his face changed dramatically with shock.

”No wonder you almost didn’t want to tell me earlier... A micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein! Who would have thought that such a treasure was hidden in that broken mine, simply invaluable.” After the shock, Mon Yi’s expression was still dazed.

It’s no wonder, what concept is a Black Profound Copper Essence Vein? Even on a micro-scale, it’s enough to entice a Foundation Establishment True Person, as it’s a top-grade crafting material for forging Top Grade Magic Artifacts. Its value needs no further explanation.

”No wonder the Red Lion Cave has repeatedly tried to wrest the Black Profound Copper Mine from our Enlightened Deity Cave. I was puzzled before, wondering if it was too strange. Now it turns out to be like this.”

Iron One now finally understood the real situation and circumstances.

Then, he saw his expression becoming serious, saying, ”Elder Jin, stay within the cave for the next few days and don’t go anywhere. Once Lord Cave Master is out of retreat, we’ll meet him immediately. Also, Mon Yi, take men over to the Black Profound Copper Mine now and seal it off. Don’t let those with malevolent intentions from the Red Lion Cave create chaos out of desperation!”

”Yes!” Elder Jin Wanchun nodded without hesitation.

”Alright, I’ll gather people and lead a core team over, but what if the Red Lion Cave conspires with Cloud Dragon Mountain to target our Black Profound Copper Essence Vein?”

Mon Yi nodded immediately upon hearing this, but he still expressed concern afterward.

Given his current strength, even with a Mid-Grade Magic Artifact, he couldn’t stand against experts from the Red Lion Cave, particularly the ones sent by Cloud Dragon Mountain. This was a significant issue.

”They probably won’t. A micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein is immensely valuable, likely prompting the Red Lion Cave to monopolize it alone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t send people in secret. However... Once the Lord knows about this, we, the eight brothers, will rush over as well. By then, I believe the Lord will have an appropriate solution.”

Upon hearing this, Iron One shook his head and continued.

”The Lord?” Elder Jin Wanchun couldn’t understand what Iron One meant by the Lord.

Isn’t Lord Green Fright and the others part of the core leaders of our Enlightened Deity Cave?

But now, why do they refer to someone else as the Lord?

”The Lord they refer to is the new Cave Master of our Enlightened Deity Cave,” Mon Yi said, glaring at Jin Wanchun when he didn’t comprehend, explaining directly.

”Ah? It’s the Cave Master!? Oh...so that’s how it is.” Elder Jin Wanchun finally understood upon hearing this, looking dazed and surprised. After a long pause, the gaze he directed toward Iron One and the Eight Great Iron Guards was filled with mixed emotions and complexity.

Even though he is the Cave Master, becoming his servant is quite shocking, isn’t it?

Is it really worth it?

However, this time, Iron One and the others didn’t mind Jin Wanchun’s shock, acting as if nothing had happened. Then, with a serious expression, Iron One said, ”Let’s proceed as I said. Mon Yi, when will you set off?”

”Now, just gathering people, and we can leave immediately.” Hearing Iron One get to the main issue, Mon Yi replied seriously without hesitation.

”Good, then let’s take immediate action. This matter is of great importance, and nothing can go wrong. Elder Jin, come with us...”
