777米奇影

As the excavation continued, a massive jade stone, about half a meter in size, was unearthed.

Luo Feng inspected it but was uine what type of jade it was without seeing the inside.

However, he was not particularly curious, as he believed that a jade stone worth 4,500 yuan must be of poor quality.

The place was located in Taiyi Mountain, within the jurisdiction of the Lantian County. The jade mines here had been famous since ancient times, so the appearance of jade stones was not surprising.

“Another jade stone, what rotten luck!” Luo Feng said in a deadpan tone, pointing at the large stone on the ground.

He picked up his Swallowtail Hoe and struck it a few times. Then he struck it with full force.

Astonishingly, the half-meter stone instantly split in two, drawing exclamations of surprise from everyone present. Luo Feng’s strength was truly impressive, befitting someone who could singlehandedly take on seven or eight strong men.

“Wow, you found jade? And you still think it’s bad luck?” “What would you have to find to not consider it bad luck?”

“It’d need to be an imperial jade seal!”

“Why not say the Nine Tripod Cauldrons?”

“Two jade stones in a row? Is there a jade mine nearby?”

“These are two runaway children; streamer, hurry up and find their family!”

Luo Feng squatted down and examined the broken surface of the stone. “This is Lantian jade, named after Lantian County, and not because it’s blue. The raw material is worth several thousand yuan, and polished jewelry made from it can sell for tens of thousands in the market. I won’t be taking it down the mountain, as it’s too heavy. If any of you want it, feel free to take it!” He glanced at the wealthy second-generation individuals behind him, but none of them wanted it. Weighing at least sixty or seventy catties, the stone, worth just a few thousand yuan, would be nothing more than a burden.

Luo Feng then thought of the villagers back home, who would certainly be willing to send a few people to carry the jade back. “Wasn’t there a restriction against mining?” Li Shishi asked, remembering the restrictions mentioned by Zhou Weiguo. “It’s fine, I’ve obtained the mining rights. The only issue is that we can’t use heavy machinery, but digging by hand is still allowed,” Luo Feng explained.

“Spending 50 million for a permit and still not allowed to mine? That’s quite a rip-off, right?”

“Exactly, it’s so expensive, and there are so many rules and regulations!”

“It’s precisely because there are mines in the mountains that they don’t allow you to use heavy machinery! If it’s manual labor, you won’t be able to dig much, so it doesn’t matter!”

Luo Feng then dug up another treasure dot, which turned out to be an energy drink. Deciding that it was time to stop, he greeted everyone and took a break to rest and drink some water. As they were not far from the mountain that day, they chose not to spend the night there. They headed back down and would return the next day instead.

The following day at 10 a.m., they returned to the original location. Leaving the scanning range, Luo Feng activated his system again. A few minutes later, more than a dozen treasure markers appeared in their vicinity. By the time it was almost noon and time for lunch, they had found several more jade stones and not much else.

Scan!

Scan!

Scanning again, there were still more than a dozen treasure markers left. Growing increasingly frustrated with the slow progress, Luo Feng continued digging. But as more and more jade stones appeared, he began to feel bewildered.

There were no large-scale jade mines in the area, so why were there so many scattered jade stones? It was truly baffling. While pondering the mystery, Luo Feng continued walking towards a small hill about three to five hundred meters ahead. Compared to the height of the other mountains, it was hardly worth mentioning.

He reached the hillside and activated his system once more, all the while taking a sip of water. However, upon seeing a cluster of treasure markers in a particular spot, Luo Feng almost spat out the water he had just drunk. Had it not been for Su Meiji standing in front of him, he might have lost control and soaked her with water. Luo Feng would have felt guilty and obliged to help her.

The cluster of golden light he saw was somewhat terrifying, covering nearly a kilometer in radius. To Luo Feng, it resembled a starry sky, filled with treasure markers.

“It looks like I’ve hit the jackpot! I knew Taiyi Mountain wouldn’t disappoint me!” Luo Feng exclaimed, looking at the dense treasure markers. The only possibility he could think of was an ancient tomb.

However, in modern times, how many unearthed ancient tombs could span as large as one kilometer? Could it be an imperial mausoleum? Moreover, these treasure markers only appeared at the edge of the scanning range, indicating there were more beyond it, but they remained unlit because they were out of range.

Luo Feng hoisted the hoe onto his shoulder, called out to everyone, and headed towards the cluster of treasure markers. He pretended to dig along the way, finding nothing of interest. Finally, they bypassed the hillside and arrived at the edge of the treasure marker cluster.

Examining the feng Shui of the area, Luo Feng furrowed his brow. Although the feng Shui was good, it was not exceptional, and it seemed unlikely that a large tomb would be located here. But in that case, how could the treasure markers be so densely packed?

Setting his doubts aside, Luo Feng plunged his hoe into the ground. With a clang, a notification sounded.

[ Congratulations, host! You’ve discovered a massive jade mine! ]

A jade mine? Is this really a jade mine?

As it turned out, it was not an ancient tomb after all.

Luo Feng had actually discovered a jade mine!

At that moment, his face was filled with excitement, as if all the frustration he had felt from unearthing the jade stones worth a few thousand yuan earlier had instantly vanished..
