508: Chapter 508 I can see it

After entering and arriving at the Ore site, they looked at the extraction speed, their eyes widening in shock. They simply could not believe what they were seeing.

"So many people mining? This is just too terrifying."

"This must have brought together most of the power of the Jiangcheng Barrier."

"It is not just members of the Family, but also many members of the military."

"Terrifying, truly terrifying. This is simply everyone working as one. So many people..."

The leader looked at the people beside him, and they nodded. They had not expected such a situation; it was truly shocking.

So many people, mining the mineral vein day and night...

"Will they finish mining this mineral vein in a few days?"

"No. I heard that even at this pace, it will take a very long time—at least several years to finish completely. As for the mineral vein inside the Modu Barrier, it is even larger than this one; I doubt it could be finished in a few years. Right now, it seems like everyone in the Modu Barrier is mobilized. Whether it is the major Families or the Modu Military Department, many are participating in the extraction process..."

"How much money can Lord Ye make from this?"

"Heh, that can no longer be described as 'massive.' It is not just Lord Ye; the Families in the Jiangcheng Barrier and the Modu Barrier have also made a fortune in this carnival, and they have gained many connections. Now, from the outside, they are seen as Lord Ye's people, and everyone is scrambling to curry favor with them."

As they were talking, Guan Fei, who was on the other side, noticed them and walked over.

The leader looked at Guan Fei and realized he was someone in charge. He immediately dismounted from his exotic beast and walked toward him.

"Which Barrier are you from? I am Guan Fei, and I am responsible for the mining of this mineral vein."

"Brother Guan, we are from the Imperial Capital Barrier."

The leader did not show any arrogance and addressed him directly as 'brother,' which left Guan Fei stunned. Good grief, you look much older than me, yet you call me brother.

However, Guan Fei was quite pleased; after all, the other party was from the Imperial Capital Barrier and was being so humble.

Being pleased was one thing, but he could not break the rules. Ore was still in high demand, and even if they were from the Imperial Capital Barrier, they had to wait in line.

"You might not know the rules for buying Ore here. Let me explain them to you..."

Just as Guan Fei was about to speak, the leader took out a note.

"Brother Guan, could you take a look at this? This is from Lord Ye to our Family head, allowing us to come and collect Ore."

Hmm? Guan Fei was taken aback, then took the note with both hands and read it. It really was written by Lord Ye.

"So your Family head knows Lord Ye. That makes things much easier. Tell me how much you need, and I will prepare it for you."

This... The group was stunned by Guan Fei's sudden change in attitude. Good grief.

Afterward, they began to converse, and Guan Fei led them to the back.

A while later, a pile of Ore was placed before them.

"Is this enough?"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock. They simply could not believe what they were seeing. Good grief. So much? Isn't this too much?

Before this, they knew that some Families had come to the Jiangcheng Barrier to buy some Ore, but those quantities were very small—less than a tenth of this—and they had paid a high price for it.

"This is too much, this..."

As the leader spoke, Guan Fei waved his hand. "This is the rule set by Lord Ye. Just report back to your Family head. Are you in a hurry to leave? If not, let's have a meal together later."

The leader nodded upon hearing this. "We did not expect so much Ore. Now we have to think about how to transport it into the Imperial Capital Barrier without other Families discovering it."

"Let's go. We can think about it while we eat, and I can offer you some advice."

Afterward, they entered a room and began to wine and dine.

During the meal, Guan Fei asked about Ye Qing's recent situation, and the man shared everything he knew with Guan Fei.

Guan Fei was shocked as he listened, feeling a chill rise from his feet. Good grief, Lord Ye has improved again?

This was a great thing for them. It was a case of 'when one person achieves the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.' The better Ye Qing developed, the more beneficial it was for them.

The man also began to ask Guan Fei about some things regarding Ye Qing in the Jiangcheng Barrier, and Guan Fei began to recount them.

Gradually, the man and his companions began to feel envious and jealous. Guan Fei and the others were so lucky to have met Lord Ye at that time, and furthermore, Lord Ye had discovered a mineral vein in the Jiangcheng Barrier.

After several rounds of drinks and food, other Families also heard the news and came over.

The leader began to converse with several Family heads. Upon learning that Old Master Leng was actually the grandfather of Ye Qing's Spirit Weapon, the man stood up immediately, his face showing respect, and hurriedly offered a glass of wine.

To think that someone with such status existed here.

After learning about Ye Qing's recent situation, Old Master Leng wore a smile on his face and could not help but drink a few more cups. Ever since his granddaughter had entered a Contract with Ye Qing, both she and the Family had been doing better.

"Everyone, thank you for your hospitality during this visit to the Jiangcheng Barrier. I will inform our Family head and Old Master when I return. In the future, if you come to the Imperial Capital Barrier, you must come visit the Bai Family. Please do not stand on ceremony."

"We left in a hurry this time and did not bring any gifts for you all, but we will certainly make up for it later."

"It is getting late, so we will be departing shortly..."

As they spoke, they stood up. Old Master Leng and the others watched but did not stop them; after all, they had important matters to attend to, and returning to the Imperial Capital Barrier from the Jiangcheng Barrier would take a long time.

Furthermore, he had just mentioned that another major Family from the Imperial Capital Barrier would be coming soon with a note. Once they left, he would need to get people to speed up the mining and reserve another portion.

After seeing everyone off, they stood there, looking in the direction of the Imperial Capital.

"To think that Lord Ye has reached this level now; it is truly somewhat terrifying."

"Alright, stop sighing. When Lord Ye was in the Jiangcheng Barrier, he had already displayed such talent. Do not tell me you did not see it back then."

"I saw it, I saw it..."
