329: Chapter 329 Rediscovery of a Mineral Vein

Could it be that a mineral vein has been discovered here as well?!

This single sentence made everyone's mouths twitch, and they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

After all, if a mineral vein were also discovered in the Modu Barrier, it would be a truly extraordinary event.

Not only could it break the monopoly of the Jiangcheng Barrier, but these families of theirs might even be able to get a piece of the action.

"However, even if a mineral vein is discovered, it might be useless. After all, it looks like the military discovered it first. Once the military finds it, it's almost impossible for them to allocate any to us. Still, let's look into the situation first to see if the military really found it, what's going on, how it will be developed, and what opportunities there are."

One Family head spoke eloquently, analyzing the current situation. The other Family heads nodded, their faces wearing helpless expressions; for now, this was all they could do.

"However, all of you must exchange information in a timely manner. If you find anything, you can't keep it hidden."

"Haha, don't worry, how could we be that kind of people?"

"Exactly, exactly, just rest assured."

"Rest assured my foot! It's not like you haven't done such things before."

Everyone: "..."

Is it really okay to expose our flaws like that?

Meanwhile, within Modu.

Joseph and John were chatting with King Fenghai. At this moment, John's condition was much better than it had been yesterday.

He had returned to his vigorous, confident stride; the staggering state from yesterday was gone.

"Dad, why hasn't my little sister come over yet?" John looked at his father and asked. After all, his little sister was staying at Qishan Villa, which was already a bit of a bother to Ye Qing. Since she hadn't arrived yet, could it be because she slept in late?

If that were the case, it would be quite embarrassing.

"You, why are you worrying about your sister? It's not like Ye Qing is going to eat her. He's a good host and will surely take great care of her. Don't worry about it; you should be thinking about how to properly improve your strength."

Joseph looked at John and scolded him. What was there to worry about? The longer Sophia stayed at Qishan Villa, the more likely she was to gain Ye Qing's favor. If she managed to form a Contract with Ye Qing in the future, her prospects would be limitless.

It's not your place to be fussing here.

Honestly.

A moment later.

Sophia also hurried into the Military Headquarters.

"Father, Brother, I'm here."

Sophia said as she looked at the two of them.

"Where is Ye Qing?"

Joseph asked, glancing around.

"Ye Qing went to the Training Grounds. Are we still going there today?"

Sophia asked in return.

Hearing this, Joseph looked at King Fenghai, who was currently processing documents. The meaning in his eyes was all too obvious; since they were guests at the Modu Military Department, they naturally had to follow the host's arrangements.

"In a bit, I'll take you to see something good. You've probably never seen it before."

King Fenghai spoke to Joseph, keeping them in suspense.

Oh?!

Joseph's face was filled with confusion. What was it?

Something good?

What kind of good thing?

Immediately, a look of curiosity appeared on Joseph's face.

John, however, couldn't keep his cool. "King Fenghai, what is this good thing?"

"You fellow, can't you let the suspense last a little longer?" Joseph looked at his son and sighed helplessly.

This guy was getting more and more impatient.

"Alright, John has already asked, so just tell us, King Fenghai," Joseph added.

"You all should know that when Ye Qing was at the Jiangcheng Barrier, he discovered a mineral vein, right?"

That one sentence caused everyone to start reminiscing.

They had indeed heard about this while at the Military Headquarters. They heard that Ye Qing had found a mineral vein in the Jiangcheng Barrier, and the Ore inside supposedly contained vast energy that could increase one's strength. Its effectiveness was far greater than that of crystal cores.

After all, crystal cores still contained violent energy, which prevented people from absorbing large amounts at once; they could only be absorbed slowly.

But this Ore was different; it could be absorbed rapidly.

Therefore, this Ore was naturally a hot-selling item, and its price had skyrocketed.

However, as far as they knew, only the Jiangcheng Barrier had a mineral vein.

"You probably haven't seen that Ore before. I'll take you to see it in a bit. If you see stones like this in the West in the future, there might be a mineral vein nearby."

As King Fenghai spoke, Joseph immediately waved his hand. This guy really knew how to talk; if this stuff were that easy to find, would the entirety of Huaxia have only discovered one mineral vein?

Not to mention the outer realms, where not a single one had been found.

"Alright, alright, let's go take a look first."

A moment later, they arrived at a warehouse where a pile of stones was stacked.

"This is the Ore."

As King Fenghai spoke, Joseph, John, and the others walked forward. When they placed their hands on the Ore and felt the power emanating from within, their brows furrowed.

It was true. Just as the rumors said, the energy inside was indeed vast.

"Can we absorb one or two pieces?"

"Of course." King Fenghai was not stingy; after all, this stuff didn't have much of an effect on him.

After being absorbed, the originally smooth Ore seemed to weather away, turning into stone dregs.

Shock flashed in Joseph's eyes. Although this thing wasn't very useful for someone of his Rank, it was quite effective for Spirit Masters below the Marquis Realm.

"Good stuff! It really is good stuff."

Joseph was full of praise.

"Right?" King Fenghai then let out a sigh. "If only a mineral vein could be discovered in the Modu Barrier as well. If that happened, the overall strength of the entire Modu Military Department could be enhanced. Furthermore, the Eastern War Zone would then have two mineral veins, giving us more of a say within Huaxia."

"Alright, stop dreaming. You can have anything in your dreams."

Joseph spoke up.

King Fenghai: "..." You really have a way with words.

King Fenghai gave Joseph a helpless look.

Meanwhile, outside.

A guard arrived at the Military Headquarters.

"I need to find King Fenghai! I have urgent business with King Fenghai!"

A captain was shouting all the way in.

He attracted the attention of many people.

Then, a man saw the captain and frowned deeply.

Wasn't this the captain of one of the Patrol Teams under him?

It should be their scheduled patrol time right now. Why had he rushed to the headquarters in such a hurry, shouting to see King Fenghai?

What kind of behavior was this? What if he offended King Fenghai?
