481: Someone familiar? Sister-in-law?

Soon, Chen Xuan arrived at the mining construction site.

When he arrived, he instantly understood why the group of Immortals who came to mine earlier ended up so exhausted and disheveled.

It turned out that what they were excavating was not ordinary Ore at all, but an entire continuous and vast expanse of Immortal Star Meteorite!

These Immortal Star Meteorites had no other special characteristics; they were simply exceptionally hard and indestructible, so much so that even a Spiritual Artifact from the Great Ascension Stage would likely struggle to easily break them.

Not only that, the durability of this Immortal Star Meteorite was even more unimaginable; it could withstand extremely powerful impacts without damage, making it an excellent Artifact Refining Material.

But this was not the most crucial point.

The most troublesome problem was that within these Immortal Star Meteorites, there were varying quantities of Immortal Crystals of different Ranks and qualities!

To successfully extract these precious Immortal Crystals, one had to carefully avoid the incredibly hard outer shell and penetrate little by little into the inner core.

This process not only required a great deal of time and effort but also demanded that the miner possess superb skill; a slight mistake could lead to all efforts being in vain.

As for Immortal Crystals, their uses were very extensive; they could be used for Artifact Refining, for improving cultivation, and even for creating some unique Magic Treasures.

It could be said that they were the cornerstone of everything in the Immortal Realm, extremely important to the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, every Immortal Crystal was extremely precious and could not be lost.

"This, there are so many Immortal Star Meteorites here..." The crowd who had rushed to mine was also surprised.

"We're here to mine this? It's not difficult, is it? This Immortal Star Meteorite is so hard, if we just strike it with a palm, its outer rock skin will shatter!"

"Are you stupid? Didn't we know from the beginning that we were mining Immortal Crystals? And you're still talking about meteorites here!"

Just as the crowd was discussing animatedly, suddenly, a slightly familiar voice rang out amidst the noise:

"Alright! Stop arguing! All of you come over here! Now I will explain the specific mining method to you!"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Xuan subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound source.

When he clearly saw the person speaking, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It turned out that the person giving the instructions was none other than Old Ancestor Qing Shan!

However, Old Ancestor Qing Shan, as he appeared at this moment, was a completely different person compared to the image in Chen Xuan's memory.

Now, his aura was as steady as a mountain, and his face revealed an imposing expression, completely unlike his ordinary appearance back in the Lower Realm.

"Ding, the System has detected a person of Luck — Qing Shan.

Upon successfully killing him, you can obtain 600,000 Heaven's Mandate Value and many other generous rewards!"

"Hmm? I didn't expect this guy to have such good fortune!

After just one Ascension, he could transform from a minor character into a person with Luck!

And it seems he has even become a supervisor here.

Could it be that he encountered some wonderful Opportunity during this time?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but walk over.

After Old Ancestor Qing Shan finished explaining the rules and dismissed the crowd, Chen Xuan then walked over.

"Greetings, Senior, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, you are already a supervisor here!"

Old Ancestor Qing Shan heard this and looked at Chen Xuan in confusion.

"Who are you? Have I seen you before?"

"Uh, it's normal that Senior doesn't recognize me, after all, we only met briefly back then, and I was just a small figure at that time!"

"Alright, but looking at your current status, it seems your position is the same as mine, also a supervisor, so let's address each other as brothers!"

"Okay, then I will take the liberty of calling you Brother Qing Shan from now on!"

"What is your name...?"

"This younger brother is called Chen Xuan!"

"Chen Xuan? I really don't have any impression, but it doesn't matter.

Since you know my name, you must be from my world, and besides... we inherently have no conflicts, so it's win-win cooperation."

"Then may I ask, Brother, what is the main work of us supervisors?"

"Just as the name implies, supervising others' work.

As long as you see someone not working hard enough, you can pull them out.

As for the rest... there's nothing much, just lie down and collect your wages."

"I see, then I will have to rely on you a lot in the future, Brother!"

"Not at all, if you need anything, just come find me!" Old Ancestor Qing Shan waved his hand.

"Then I'll go to work."

"Hey, my virtuous younger brother, don't go.

They are all miners who have just Ascended, and they are still excited about mining.

Whether you supervise or not, it's the same.

Since you've recognized me as your older brother, it's only right that I let you meet my wife, your Sister-in-law, how about it?"

"Sister-in-law...?!" Chen Xuan was stunned upon hearing this, his face full of surprise.

He inwardly complained: You old fox, you usually seem so proper, but I didn't expect you to have an affair so soon after Ascending!

Hmph, I'd like to see what this new "Sister-in-law" looks like!

"Come, follow me!" Old Ancestor Qing Shan finished speaking and took the lead, walking in one direction.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly followed, while he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, where are we going to see Sister-in-law? She wouldn't... be a miner, would she?"

Thinking of this, a scene couldn't help but appear in Chen Xuan's mind: a robust, dark-skinned woman swinging a pickaxe, toiling diligently in the mine.

"Of course.

Although I am the supervisor of this mining area, in reality, besides supervising everyone's work, I have no other special powers.

But... the life your Sister-in-law leads here is definitely different from that of other miners!"

As he spoke, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared on Old Ancestor Qing Shan's face.

"Come, virtuous younger brother, we've arrived, just look, your Sister-in-law is right there in front!"

Old Ancestor Qing Shan gently patted Chen Xuan's shoulder, then pointed his hand forward.

Chen Xuan looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw a woman dressed in loose work clothes standing quietly.

From a distance, her face was beautiful and charming, with delicate eyebrows, white teeth, and eyes like two sparkling gems.

Her skin was as white as snow, as if it could be pinched to produce water.

Her figure was tall and slender, and even though most of her curves were concealed by the loose work clothes, her graceful posture was still evident.

It was a pity, however, that all other beautiful features were completely hidden by the wide work clothes, making it difficult to glimpse the full picture, leaving only curiosity and imagination.

Of course, she did not resemble Qinglan Jade at all.
