“The reason why you failed is because you are only relying on pure brute strength,” Zhao Yunxiao explained. “Unless you have been diligently training your body over a long period of time, it is impossible to do this through physical strength alone. Rather than that, you should be tapping on world origin energy to do so.”
“How do I even do that?” Lu Zhiying grumbled.
“You will soon be forming your spiritual meridian root. After which, you will naturally be able to do so,” Zhao Yunxiao said. “For now, I will lend you a hand.”

Upon realising that Zhao Yunxiao was following right behind her, Lu Zhiying did not hesitate to join the rest of the disciples and hurried down into the mines.
“Be careful, don’t rush!” Zhao Yunxiao called out in surprise before chasing after her.
The walkways in Yellowshell Mine were formed by cutting into the walls of the mines, with no railings as protection.
While it would normally be difficult to fall since the walkways were rather wide, now that everyone was rushing in the same direction, there was definitely a chance of falling into the depths if one was not careful.
Thankfully, Zhao Yunxiao’s worry did not materialise.
Lu Zhiying might be excited, but she was not carelessly so. She stuck close to the inner walls while moving, easily avoiding being pushed over the edge this way.
Just like that, the duo followed the rest of the disciples to a particular tunnel that was already packed with people by the time they arrived. Furthermore, it was obvious that everyone present had their attention focused solely on a particular disciple.
“Congratulations, Junior Martial Brother Nie!”
“What great fortune! Congratulations!”
“You’ve really struck it rich this time!”
“Lucky you! How I wish the same thing can happen to me!”
Standing in the middle of the crowd and receiving all these words of congratulations was a young man who had a huge smile on his face.

“Don’t call him ‘that guy’. This person is your Senior Martial Brother Nie Hanchang,” Zhao Yunxiao corrected her.
“Okay, okay, I will call him Senior Martial Brother Nie from now on. So tell me what happened already!”
Zhao Yunxiao could not help but let out a snicker at the curiosity that was apparent on Lu Zhiying’s face. “Do you see that piece of ore by his side?”
“Wow, he’s amazing for being able to mine this amount of ore. No wonder everyone is congratulating him!” Lu Zhiying exclaimed after noticing what Zhao Yunxiao pointed out.
“Amount? You are probably the only one here who considers that amount of ore impressive.”
“
“Just like how different equipment can vary in quality, here in the ore mines, the quality of the ore can vary greatly as well,” Zhao Yunxiao explained. “What we usually get are of the inferior and common quality. But from time to time, there will be some fortunate ones who manage to find uncommon quality ore that’s tens of times more valuable than inferior ore.”
“Oh, so that’s uncommon ore?” Lu Zhiying visually compared the small rock in her hands to the huge rock beside Nie Hanchang. “I guess you can tell the difference from the colour.”
“That’s not it,” Zhao Yunxiao said with a sigh.
“That’s not it?” Lu Zhiying looked towards Zhao Yunxiao once again.
“What Senior Martial Brother Nie have with him there... it’s rare grimiron ore,” Zhao Yunxiao could not help but feel envy in his heart as he said that. “That is a tier above uncommon grimiron ore, hundreds of times more precious than inferior and common ore! With this one piece of rock, he has really struck the jackpot and will no longer have to work for an entire year!”
