The Luckiest Dumb Doctor
Chapter 852 - Chapter 852 Chapter 852 Fish in Troubled Waters

Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Fish in Troubled Waters Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Fish in Troubled Waters Greg Jensen opened the record book, only to see it detailed three locations and also contained a reasonably precise map, with different symbols marking each site.

“Shark, are you certain of these? Do all three places hold the Spiritual Minerals I need?”

Two days ago, he had instructed his subordinates to search for intelligence on the distribution of Spiritual Mineral locations; the goal was to provide the Ancient Clan with a continuous supply of Spirit Stones to facilitate the crafting of The Angel of Burning Armor.

After all, the Eight countries in Southeast had a relative lack of mineral resources, and currently, there was not much energy to spare for mining, so he set his sights abroad, hoping to introduce more resources.

“Do not worry, Lord Dragon King, the Darknet’s intelligence will not be mistaken, and besides, these are all mid-grade Spirit Stone sources, nothing too secretive!”

Shark nodded without hesitation, “It’s just that these mineral resources have already been claimed by the major families. If you wish to acquire them, it might not be so easy.”

Greg Jensen did not quite agree with this statement, but he did not elaborate.

In his view, Spirit Stones were not ordinary mineral resources. They were not only expensive but also had low yields, creating a scenario in the entire market where they were prized but seldom sold.

Many higher-grade Spirit Stones were held by powerful masters, who wouldn’t sell them unless absolutely necessary.

The saying, ‘No man is guilty, but possessing a jewel incurs the crime,’ applies; regardless of the intelligence’s authenticity, if the Spirit Stones were indeed in the hands of certain families, they would never let the information leak onto the Darknet and would certainly find a way to erase any traces.

This was not him overthinking it; in the past, Spirit Stones would not have caught much attention because few people knew of their effects and uses.

But now, the Liberty Alliance was also quietly crafting various Mechas, inevitably they were also searching for Spirit Stones in secret.

“It seems… I’ll have to go see for myself to know!”

Greg Jensen pondered for a moment, gently patting the armrest, and roughly sketched out a plan in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Shark quickly pointed to a mark on the map and said:

“Lord Dragon King, if you’re planning to take a look, how about this spot? It’s said to contain a large amount of Spirit Stones and the location is not far, right on Snow Wave Mountain in Octavia!”

Greg Jensen looked carefully at the position Shark was pointing to, and decisively decided to check out Snow Wave Mountain first.

As long as he could confirm the presence of a large source of Spirit Stones there, he could essentially verify the authenticity of the other two locations as well.

He then summoned sisters Karen Milton and Zoey Milton to the Dragon King’s Palace.

He did not intend to go alone this time because, apart from acquiring Spirit Stones, along the way, he could let them see if they needed anything else.

Concerning the crafting of Mechas, it was still necessary for someone from the Ancient Clan to accompany them.

“Senior, looking at the three locations marked on your map, they don’t seem particularly exceptional. Even if there are Spirit Stones, I fear their quality won’t be very high,” said Karen Milton after studying the map for a while, pursing her red lips and shaking her head. “The birthplace of Spirit Stones is extremely demanding. Without Spiritual Energy, there’s no growth, and the closer to areas with more living creatures, the harder it is for them to form!”

“Oh? Explain in detail!”

Greg Jensen became interested; he really didn’t know much about Spirit Stones, and even though the Dragon King’s treasury contained more than a dozen, they had hardly been used.

“Spirit Stones, as the name implies, are natural mineral stones born from nature’s spiritual energy, containing a great deal of pure essence…” Karen Milton spoke fluently, providing a succinct explanation.

It turns out, the reason she said places with many creatures made it difficult for Spirit Stones to form was that nature’s spiritual energy was intangible and easily absorbed by living beings, making it difficult to accumulate within those minerals.

Only in places with sparse human activity, after long-term exposure to the elements and nurturing by the sun and moon, could the spiritual essence slowly infiltrate the minerals and eventually form Spirit Stones.

The longer the time of permeation, the higher the concentration, which leads to the classification of low, middle, and high grades.

The three marked places on the map are mostly in the rural outskirts of towns and cities, and judging from the surrounding terrain, one could guess that those areas are unlikely to produce any Spirit Stones, and even if they do, the quality would not be high.

Greg Jensen sighed, “Since that’s the case, it seems like the middle-grade Spirit Stones you need will be difficult to find!”

“Actually… it’s not as difficult as the senior mentioned.”

Zoey Milton shook her head suddenly and, after exchanging a glance with her sister, said:

“Three years ago, I heard that in the ancient forest of Eastern Continent Sena, there is a natural vein of Spirit Stones infused with nature’s essence. The lowest quality there is middle-grade, known as the Xuan Tian Spirit Mine.

It is said that the mine is filled with countless middle-grade Spirit Stones, inexhaustible and unending. But due to its hidden location and the many powerful Ferocious Beasts around, no one has been able to enter alive for a hundred years.”

Xuan Tian Spirit Mine?!

Greg Jensen’s eyes lit up at the name, knowing this was no ordinary place.

If they could find this place, the Ancient Clan’s refining plan would definitely be satisfied.

“Alright! Whether we can find it or not, we can at least try! If we really get it, you two sisters will be the great heroes of the Dragon King’s Palace!”

With that, he couldn’t help but pat Karen Milton and Zoey Milton on the shoulders.

Feeling the warmth of his large hands and the manly scent that wafted over, their pretty faces blushed, and they hurriedly waved their hands and said:

“Oh… oh no, we’re just doing what we should, it’s not much of a contribution! Besides… it’s our honor to serve the senior!”

Greg Jensen smiled, “No need for formalities with me. You two go prepare your clothing, and we’ll set off first thing tomorrow morning to Snow Wave Mountain to check for its authenticity!”

“Yes!”

After Karen Milton and her sister left, Greg Jensen leisurely brewed a pot of tea and began to drink, his mind wandering towards the situation at the international conference center.

It had been almost an hour since the Liberty Alliance made their move. The outcome, whether victory or defeat, should have been decided by now, right?

Humming–

Sure enough, not long after he had this thought, Fox called:

“Lord Dragon King! The situation turned out better than we expected. Before Black Wolf and I had to lift a finger, Phil Donovan was killed by a Ninja from Cherrywood. It seems their intentions are the same as ours, not wanting Phil Donovan to make it back alive!”

“What else? What about the other battle outcomes?”

“The Liberty Alliance deployed four peak-level grade eight powerhouses and more than ten mid-level grade eight powerhouses, catching the other national areas off guard. The scene was a heavy loss, and this time they’ve truly offended everyone!”

“Are you and Black Wolf okay?”

“Lord Dragon King, rest assured, Black Wolf and I fished in troubled waters without attracting the main battles!”

Greg Jensen nodded, quite pleased with this outcome.

In and of itself, he had told Fox and Black Wolf to take the opportunity to kill Phil Donovan, preparing for the worst-case scenario. He didn’t expect Cherrywood to be even more anxious than he was and did what needed to be done for him.

“Oh right, Bear Country, Cherrywood, and several other major countries have just formed an alliance!”
