150: Chapter 150 The Spirit Stone Mine Yields Remarkable Results

Subsequently, Old Man Sun led Su Bai to a nearby storehouse.

He lifted a moisture-proof tarp covering the top.

Instantly, a dazzling radiance illuminated the entire storehouse.

It was a pile of neatly stacked Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

A rough estimate suggested at least over three thousand pieces.

Looking at this pile of Spirit Stones, Su Bai's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

This was cold, hard cash.

Three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, placed in the old Local Militia Camp, would have been enough to feed and clothe the brothers of the entire camp for several months.

And this was just the output of a few days!

"Well done."

Su Bai did not spare his praise.

Old Man Sun rubbed his rough hands together and said excitedly to Su Bai:

"Lord Su, there is even bigger good news."

"We have dug down over a hundred zhang in these few days, and I have probed it with my decades of experience. The vein runs extremely deep; what we have mined so far is not even one percent of this entire vein!"

"I dare to bet my head on it, thousands of meters deep underground, there is definitely a massive amount of Spirit Stones buried! There might even be Medium Grade, or even High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Boom!

At Old Man Sun's words, even Uncle Fu couldn't help but tremble.

Less than one percent?

Thousands of meters underground?

Su Bai was completely excited.

He had struck it rich!

This time, he had truly struck it rich!

With a Spirit Stone Mine of such terrifying reserves, if fully mined, what kind of army could it arm?

Forget about dominating Yunzhou City; even occupying the entire border might not be out of the question.

Su Bai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

He knew it wasn't the time to be happy just yet.

The innocent are not guilty, but possessing treasure is a crime.

Before he had the absolute strength to crush everything, the news of the Spirit Stone Mine must not leak out in the slightest.

Su Bai raised his hand, a thought moving through his mind.

The Storage Ring flashed with light.

The three thousand plus Spirit Stones on the ground were instantly collected by him, clean and dry.

He turned to look at Old Man Sun and said solemnly:

"Old Sun, you all have worked hard. I have said that as long as you follow me and work well, I, Su Bai, will never treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful of Spirit Stones from the Storage Ring.

Exactly one hundred pieces.

He stuffed them directly into Old Man Sun's hands.

Then he turned to shout at the miners who were watching expectantly outside:

"To all miners, a reward of one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones each!"

Once these words were spoken.

The entire mine fell into a deathly silence.

All the miners stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at Su Bai.

They simply couldn't believe their ears.

One hundred Spirit Stones?

For them, the lowest-level laborers, usually working themselves to death in other mines for a month, getting half a Spirit Stone would be considered the boss being kind.

One hundred pieces—that was a huge fortune they could only save up after ten years of working without eating or drinking.

Now, this Lord Su was just giving it to them as a reward?

Old Man Sun held the heavy one hundred Spirit Stones, his hands shaking like a sieve.

"Lo... Lord, this is too much, we are unworthy of such a reward..."

"Take it!"

Su Bai's tone was unquestionable.

"My rule, Su Bai's rule, is that merit must be rewarded. You risked your lives working for me, so these are what you deserve."

"As long as you keep it a secret and speed up your progress, there will be plenty of such rewards in the future."

Old Man Sun said with tears in his eyes:

"Lord Su is truly like a second parent to us! Even if we have to be smashed to pieces, we will repay Lord's great kindness!"

"We swear loyalty to Lord Su until death!"

The other miners also threw down their picks and knelt in a row, every Face filled with gratitude.

In this chaotic world, life is cheaper than grass.

But Su Bai gave them dignity and gave them hope to live on.

From this moment on, the hearts of these dozens of miners were completely conquered by Su Bai.

Looking at this group of excited miners.

Su Bai was very satisfied.

These days, making empty promises is useless; only by smashing down real gold and silver can one make people loyal.

After leaving the Spirit Stone Mine.

Su Bai hurried to the Local Militia Camp outside the city without stopping.

The current Local Militia Camp was no longer the small camp it used to be.

After absorbing a large number of regular troops and Bandits, the camp had expanded several times over, and the endless tents were out of sight.

The camp was bustling with noise and excitement.

As soon as Su Bai entered the camp gate, he heard a roar from the drill ground.

"Damn it! Didn't you eat? Run! Keep running for me! Whoever dares to stop, I'll whip them!"

On the drill ground, thousands of men stripped to the waist.

Were running wildly around the drill ground.

Each person carried a sandbag weighing dozens of catties on their back.

Sweat gathered into streams, flowing down the lines of their muscles.

In the team, there were veterans from the former regular army and Bandits who had just surrendered.

These Bandits were used to being loose and undisciplined.

Where had they ever suffered such hardship?

Several were already rolling their eyes, stumbling, and looking like they were about to fall.

A bandit leader with a fierce Face couldn't run anymore, sat on the ground, panting heavily, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"I'm not running! I'm not running! Is this training soldiers or killing people? I came to join General Su to live the good life, not to be a beast of burden!"

With him taking the lead, several Bandits also stopped, looking at the person in front of them with full of resentment.

When Ma Lie saw this, his eyes immediately widened.

He strode over, and without a word, raised his leg and kicked.

He kicked the bandit leader three meters away.

"Living the good life? Do you think this is a charity house!"

Ma Lie pulled out the whip at his waist, cracked it in the air, and said:

"When you arrive at my Local Militia Camp, if you are a Dragon, you must coil; if you are a Tiger, you must crouch!"

"Don't want to train? Fine! The door is there, take off your uniform and get lost! Don't lose Face here!"

The bandit leader climbed up from the ground, clutching his stomach.

His Face was full of unconvinced anger.

He was at least a small leader who managed over a hundred people before, and being kicked by Ma Lie in front of so many people, where could he put his Face?

"Who do you think you are, Ma? I came to join General Su; whether I live or die is up to General Su! What right do you have to hit someone?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

The surrounding Bandits also joined in the commotion, looking like they were about to mutiny.

Just then, a voice came from the camp gate.

"Who does he think he is?"

Su Bai walked into the drill ground with his hands behind his back.

Although he did not deliberately release his Aura, the kind of battlefield-hardened presence still made the entire drill ground fall silent.

The bandit leader who had just been clamoring.

Seeing Su Bai appear, he trembled all over, quickly lowered his head, and didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Su Bai's reputation for cruelty.

These Bandits had heard of it like thunder.

He was the ruthless character who could even force a deputy general like Chang Feng to rebel.
