The person who led Ye Li to Tianyue Mountains was not an ordinary servant, but an elder named Victor.
After all, the mine in Tianyue Mountains is the most important resource mining site of the Yaxi family. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach it, and only people at the elder level are qualified to lead people there.
The elder named Victor seemed a little taciturn. Ye Li could tell that it was not because he was unfriendly to him that he didn't want to talk, but that was just his personality. Even though he had a kind smile, he still didn't talk much.
Ye Li didn't care much about it. Since the other party didn't say anything, he was happy to be alone.
Following Elder Victor, Ye Li soon arrived at the Tianyue Mountains, where an unimaginably huge pit appeared in the center of the mountains.
Standing outside the pit, Ye Li stared with his eyes wide open at the huge pit with a diameter of four or five miles in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing.
"This... This is the mine, how come there is such a huge pit!?"
Although he knew that Elder Victor was unwilling to speak, Ye Li couldn't help but ask.
After looking at Ye Li for a while, Elder Victor finally explained: "This mine is very large, and it is one of the two largest snowflake mines in the Farant Empire.
The alabaster is buried very deep. If we don’t dig such a large pit, we won’t be able to get the alabaster out.”
After saying these two sentences, Victor seemed unwilling to explain further and urged Ye Li, "Let's go quickly. The Snowflake Pond is near the bottom of the deep pit. We still have a while to go."
Hearing Elder Victor's urging, Ye Li nodded hurriedly, and followed him along the narrow path on the wall of the deep pit towards the abyss-like mine.
Although their speed was not slow, it was not too fast either. Ye Li still had time to observe this huge mine.
The sound of clanging and hammering still echoed in the mine, and it was obvious that there were many miners digging for snowflakes here.
Large patches of light blue rock occasionally appear on the rock walls around the mine, looking slightly transparent, like blue crystals.
When Ye Li was in Golden Palm City before, he had read information about snowflakes and knew that they existed in these crystal-like light blue translucent rocks.
The light blue translucent rocks on these rock walls should be the waste left over after mining. The real snowflakes have been dug out from them.
Soon the two of them went down to the half depth of the mine. At this time, the mining sounds around them became more intense. Ye Li could already see many miners working in the branches of the mine.
There are guards patrolling outside each branch mine, and when they see miners coming out of it, they will conduct a body search.
After all, snowflake stone is very valuable, and the Yaxi family doesn't want these miners to smuggle some of the goods out to sell.
Along the way, they encountered many sentries, but Victor had the elder's token on him, so no one dared to stop them. They all saluted respectfully before letting the two of them pass.
After walking for nearly an hour, the two finally got from the top of the mine to the bottom of the mine.
The air here has become a little stuffy, but fortunately, the two of them are not ordinary people and they look indifferent.
Here, Ye Li could already see the snowflakes wrapped in the surrounding light blue rocks. They looked very dense, and this was indeed a rich mining area.
Walking here, Ye Li could feel that the spiritual energy in the air was very rich, many times stronger than that on the surface.
It seems that if you practice in a place like this, the effect should be much better than on the surface.
Victor led Ye Li all the way through the bottom of the pit, and soon they came to a huge light blue stone door.
There were eight or nine guards guarding the stone gate, and there was actually an elder in a stone house next to it.
The elder laughed the moment he saw Victor and said, "Victor, why are you here?"
Victor nodded to the other party as a greeting, and then said, "Marcus, the Duke asked me to bring this little guy here. He has a reward. He is allowed to practice in the Snowflake Pond for two days."
Hearing Victor's words, the elder named Marcus was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Li with a strange look.
Ye Li knew that the other party was looking at him strangely because of the problem Evans had mentioned before.
However, the other party did not ask any further questions. After looking at Ye Li, he waved his hand to signal several guards to open the stone door.
"Boom..."
After several guards activated the mechanism, the huge light blue stone door slowly opened, and a rich spiritual energy floated out from it.
Ye Li stood at the door and took a deep breath. He immediately felt all the pores in his body relax and feel very comfortable. "Victor, I know the situation. Let me lead the way."
Marcus had walked out of the hut and stood in front of Ye Li.
After hearing what the other party said, Victor nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help!"
After saying that, he smiled at Marcus, then without any hesitation, turned around and left the Snowflake Pond.
Marcus looked at Victor's back and shook his head, saying, "This guy still seems to be very frugal with words."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Li again and said, "Young man, what's your name?"
When Ye Li heard the other party's question, he quickly answered truthfully: "Elder, my name is Ye Li."
Hearing Ye Li's answer, Marcus nodded and said, "Ye Li, although I don't know why Wellington wants to reward you to come here to practice, but since you have the family's consent and have two days, I will not hinder your practice.
Come with me, I will take you into the snowflake pool."
After Marcus finished speaking, he waved at Ye Li, then turned around and walked into the stone gate first.
Ye Li naturally had no hesitation about this and quickly followed. The two of them walked into the door one after the other.
As soon as I entered the door, the surrounding spiritual energy became extremely rich. The walls were flashing with faint light blue light everywhere, which looked soft, but a little cold.
Marcus said: "Ye Li, look carefully, there are many small stone chambers here, and each of them has a small snowflake pool.
In fact, the real snowflake pool is not here, but deeper underground.
We built this area using a special method, drawing out the essence of the snowflake stone in the snowflake pool below and pouring it into different stone chambers. This way we can ensure that it can be used by many people at the same time when needed.
If everyone practices in one big pool, they will likely interfere with each other, causing the efficiency of practice to decrease."
