Chapter 719: Chapter 716: The Vein

After all the trouble of getting that damn rat to cooperate, how could Zhong Zifan and Liao Song not be anxious?

However, Huo Sining’s complexion seemed somewhat off, making Zhong Zifan feel uneasy:

"Miss, what’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me I pulled too hard just now and sprained your ankle?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and the complexions of both Zhong Zifan and Liao Song changed simultaneously.

When it rains, it pours. They had been walking for so long without finding an exit. If Huo Sining’s ankle was also sprained, when would they be able to get out of the cave?

At that moment, Huo Sining couldn’t care less about what Liao Song and Zhong Zifan were thinking because just then, as she pressed her right hand against the stone wall, the Heavenly Eye opened, and her vision was suddenly filled with a red glow.

For an instant, Huo Sining thought it was her illusion.

Unconvinced, she pressed her palm against the rock wall again.

With this press, through the rock wall less than three meters deep, she saw huge rocks encased inside the stone wall, glowing red as chicken blood, hot as magma.

It was Da Hong Pao!

Huo Sining could hardly believe her own eyes and took a few quick steps forward, touching the rock wall over and over with her right hand.

Under the inspection of the Heavenly Eye Skill, the rock wall peeled away layer by layer like an eggshell.

Huo Sining focused her attention on the interior of the rock, seeing everything within five meters inside the rock wall.

Chunks of Dahongpao bloodstone, as if exposed, were clearly visible to Huo Sining’s eyes.

The Chicken Blood Stones were as large as boulders, radiant and red, with a coverage of over sixty percent, and the deeper inside, the higher the coverage of red. Those stones were warm, thick, and semi-transparent – they were truly high-quality gems!

Shock filled Huo Sining’s heart – so many completely red Dahongpao bloodstones lay before her like a vivid red ribbon.

This was—

"A Bloodstone Vein???"

A term surged into Huo Sining’s mind. She couldn’t help but twitch her eyelids, her heart feeling like it might leap out of her throat.

Because her Heavenly Eye was still in its initial stage, she could only see within a ten-meter radius, and what treasures lay beyond ten meters deep within the rock wall, Huo Sining had no way to estimate.

But even judging from what she could see within these ten meters, beyond the reach of her right hand, there must be more amazing things than she could imagine.

Huo Sining was almost certain that this place was an undetected old Bloodstone Vein, and it contained Dahongpao!

The Chicken Blood Stone of Yuyan Mountain occurred in patches, which was why so many veins had been discovered and acquired.

On Yuyan Mountain, no one knew exactly how many Chicken Blood Stone veins there were. Those that were exposed had generally been mined out, and the mines that hadn’t been completely excavated were mostly privately-owned.

Huo Sining had heard Uncle Qi mention that the Bloodstone veins on Yuyan Mountain had no discernible pattern.

Some were exposed and would hit the bottom after digging three to five meters; others extended hundreds of meters into the mountain body, and there were even veins hidden in the rock walls halfway up the mountain, which would be nearly impossible to locate without a stroke of luck.

The vein that Huo Sining had discovered was probably one that had slipped through the net.

After all, after so much magnetic ore had been excavated here, digging from one end of the mountain to the other, they still hadn’t managed to unearth any Chicken Blood Stone.

No one would have probably expected that, right beside this iron mine, there lay such an enormous treasure.

Thinking about that unlucky mine owner, Huo Sining really didn’t know what kind of expression to show.

Should she laugh or should she laugh?

The iron mine owner only needed to dig three meters off to the side, and there would have been no place left for the Chicken Blood Stone hidden inside the rock walls.

But unfortunately, because the jade mine and the iron mine were neighbors, and the position of the vein was concealed and the rock difficult to mine, it managed to avoid discovery.

In this short time of exploration, Huo Sining had already clearly realized something; the Chicken Blood Stone, just what she had seen, was several tons in quantity.

If there’s so much extraordinary Chicken Blood Stone within less than ten meters of rock, what about the entire mine?

Although Huo Sining always felt that the value of Chicken Blood Stone wasn’t as high as Jadeite, in the past two days she had learned from Liao Song and Uncle Qi that the market price for Chicken Blood Stone was not low.

Moreover, in recent years, fine Chicken Blood Stone carvings had become extremely popular, and many antiques enthusiasts had a hobby of collecting Chicken Blood Stone. Their enthusiasm for Chicken Blood Stone was high, causing its price to climb steadily.

Even though the price of Chicken Blood Stone wasn’t as insane as Jadeite, it was selling in large volumes and still held a significant weight in the jade market.

Therefore, owning a Bloodstone Vein could mean, couldn’t it, that she would have an income of billions of Jin?

Huo Sining didn’t lack money. Sometimes, when there was too much of it, it just became a meaningless string of digits, but having a Bloodstone Vein was a temptation that was really hard for Huo Sining to resist.

"What should I do?"

Huo Sining felt both anxious and fearful in her heart. When she first discovered the vein, she was excited and even incredulous, but after understanding the intricacies involved, she became somewhat at a loss.

Let her give up this Chicken Blood Stone mine?

No, nobody else has discovered it yet; she would never be willing to give it up just like that.

If the mining on Yuyan Mountain continued, the Chicken Blood Stone here would sooner or later be found by others. Rather than letting others benefit, it would be better for her to do the mining herself.

But if she really decided to buy the mine and start mining on her own, it probably wouldn’t be that easy.

Finances were not the issue, as she currently had at least ten billion in liquid assets, so money was not a concern.

The key issue was networking. After all, Changhua was not her turf. Once news of the Chicken Blood Stone mine leaked, multiple forces would surely intervene, and what would then be brought to Huo Sining might not be wealth, but disaster.

It seems she needed to think long term. It would be best to find a reliable person to cooperate with, so she wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to cope.

"Miss Huo, are you okay? Your complexion doesn’t look right. You didn’t really sprain your ankle, did you?"

Zhong Zifan noticed Huo Sining’s fluctuating expression and couldn’t help feeling anxious.

At this moment, he wasn’t in a rush to travel anymore, and he ignored the mountain rat that was pulling at the rope and squeaking incessantly.

Interrupted by Zhong Zifan, Huo Sining came back to her senses and quickly concealed the shock and ecstasy on her face, shaking her head in response, "I’m fine."

Zhong Zifan looked at Huo Sining suspiciously, feeling that something was off about her, but couldn’t put his finger on exactly what was wrong.
