Chapter 347: Mu Clan Gold Storage

For the first time ever, Happy entered the Dragon Rank.

He used an entire day to practice his Seven Stars Sword Style with Stone King serving as his sparring partner. Like that, he finally pushed his technique to the higher realm.

Flowering Knights’ Song, Stormy Shadowless Kick, Phantasm Body Movement Skill, Golden Bell Cocoon, and Seven Stars Sword Styles.

Happy had four Blessed Realm high-tier martial arts and one Mystical Realm high-tier martial art. Because of it, he finally entered the Dragon Rank, though his rank was rather low. He was only at the 79th rank. However, he finally managed to catch up to the group of pioneers on the Dragon Rank.

His qi had also increased to 260 points, and he was only 60 points away from reaching Life and Death Realm. In at most two months, he would reach Life and Death Realm.

During that time, everyone also witnessed what it meant to have one hundred and fifty miners working for a day through the clan storage. The results had even been delivered to them in real time.

They had gained more than 189,000 normal grade nine brucites. They did not have much value, and if someone bought ten of them in one go, it would only cost them one tael of silver. This meant that the clan received less than twenty thousand taels of silver as their income for the day.

However, that was only brucite, which was the lowest quality stone

Grade eight pale red brucites could be used for decorations, to process certain jade items, make the floor tiles for the rich, and ground into powder to create medicine for supportive purposes. They could also be added to the process of creating weapons so that the value of the weapons would increase.

They cost five taels of silver each, and Mu Clan had received thirty thousand of them.

They also received dark red crystals. They were of slightly higher quality and a grade seven ore. They could be used to create many things, so each piece was worth one hundred taels of silver, but they did not get many of them. They only had around seven thousand of these crystals, and they were around the value of a few berthierites.

All those stones, though, were not the ones that brought the largest share of profit.

It came from the ores that were the least in number. Only a few of them might have been mined, but they were sources of great wealth. All the people who entered the crystal mines did not come for the worthless and normal brucites or inferior crystals.

Grade six Hot Spring Stones were pale purple, and they looked rather similar to jade. Even if they were used to refine a weapon to its first echelon, they were a very good material. They were also an item that many jewellers sought after. One stone was worth more than two thousand taels of silver, and Mu Clan had obtained quite a lot of it. They had more than three thousand of them.

Grade five Mineral Water Crystals were exquisite and crystal clear. They were suitable to be created into gems or vessels that could be sold at a higher price. One of them was worth nine thousand taels of silver, which came very close to the price of a berthierite, and Mu Clan had obtained more than nine hundred of them.

This was a profit that could make hearts race, but what truly excited everyone was the stones they received after that!

They obtained a total of 237 Stones with Water!

Stones with Water that shone with a magnificent light and a faint, crystalline shine were worth seven hundred thousand taels in the market. Right then, since there were an increasing number of people who tried to have their weapons reach multiple echelons, the supply could not catch up to the demand, and there were already signs that the price was about to reach eight hundred thousand taels of silver. If all 237 Stones with Water were exchanged to money, they would definitely fetch a sum of money that would leave people dumbfounded.

It would be nearly two hundred million!

Little North was not the only one affected. Thunderous Battle, who could check the resources in the sect, also broke out into cold sweat. He stuttered for quite some time while he spoke to Happy, and he only calmed down after a long while.

“What about unakites?”

“We don’t have a lot of unakites. We only received three of them from four mines.”

“Three is pretty good.”

Happy might have been slightly disappointed, but when he thought about the terrifying worth of those grade three ores, he did not think their result was bad. Unakites were supreme grade brucites, and the other four sects were also part of the four mines. They could not be the only ones who were lucky.

As of then, the price for unakite had been jacked up to 2,600,000 taels of silver. Three of them would be near eight million.

Even though the clan would obtain half of the profit, the direct income still allowed those lucky clan members at least 1,300,000 taels of silver, and when they converted it to money, they would get at least a few tens of thousands of RMB.

The drop rate of higher graded crystals depended entirely on a person’s luck, and Happy did not think too much about it.

The profit they gained in just slightly more than a day was very impressive!

When they converted what they dug out into money, even though the clan had used up quite a lot of their pool of berthierites on the first day, not only had they immediately covered up the cost, they had even gained a revenue of more than ten million, and part of it was because Black Rose Clan had given up all their profit to the clan.

If Mu Clan continued to develop at that speed, as long as they could maintain the stability of the crystal mine, they would swiftly turn into the epitome of a super gold mining machine!

Happy did not ask Thunderous Battle to announce the results. It was best to keep the news a secret so that they could avoid upsetting the other sects when word got out.

They had obtained ten million in just one day!

The outside world would definitely not be able to accept it if they came to learn of it.

Happy supposed that it was what Kind Tycoon did. He quietly occupied a secluded mine and slowly excavated it, or else, it would have been impossible for him to have enough resources to create a third-echelon Clear Abyss so soon, thereby stirring up the trend of people rushing to make their weapons gain multiple echelons.

The three lucky souls who managed to excavate unakites had caused the men and women who had grown a little numb from swinging their pickaxes in the mines to fall into a frenzy again. For a period of time, the sounds of mining became even more frequent.

The metal mine also brought Mu Clan nearly four million taels of silver worth of profit. Since the metal mine they controlled was a high grade metal mine, the value of the ores the miners dug out there was not lower than that of the crystals. Instead, because of how rare they were, the value was even greater.

*****

Thunderous Battle and Little North were completely immersed in excitement and happiness on the first day.

However, Happy reminded the duo in time that those were the clan’s resources, and unless it was absolutely necessary, they were not to touch it, because those resources would be the key when they refined their weapons into echelon weapons in the future.

Also, as time passed, the contribution points of the miners would increase. If their resources diminished but there was not enough money in the clan storage, there was a possibility that an unexpected upheaval would occur.

That was something Happy did not want to see!

“I understand.”

There was a stern look on Thunderous Battle’s face. He soon understood what Happy meant, and he quickly left the second level of the crystal mine.

He could not stay idle anymore.

As of then, Mu Clan needed more cash flow and masterpieces that could be exchanged by the others for contribution points. These things were what he as a clan master needed to regulate to avoid Mu Clan being forced to sell their resources to maintain the operation of their clan storage and the contribution point system. It would be quite awkward if it came to be.

Red Coral and Black Rose did not leave with Thunderous Battle. They occasionally went to mine the cave, but most of the time, they paid attention to Happy.

Unfortunately, they were in for a disappointment. After Happy trained for a whole day, Stone King was still as healthy as before and did not show any signs of collapsing.

When they saw how energetic Stone King was, the two women felt like breaking down.

They’d had a lot of confidence in the beginning, but it was starting to sink bit by bit.

Red Coral was unable to bear with it any longer, and she could not help but ask, “Happy, how long are you going to fight? You still haven’t managed to kill it after a day, so do you need us to help?”

“Kill?” Happy was stunned. “I don’t intend to kill it. I’m hoping it can serve as my sparring partner through the last three days…”

“What?! You’re using it as your sparring partner?”

“What else did you think I was doing?” Happy spread his arms in question.

Red Coral was speechless. The expression of Black Rose, too, turned stiff.

He was using a Moksha Realm boss… as a sparring partner.
