Battling Records of the Chosen One

29. Five Elements Opening

Shiao Tianren rejoiced with wild excitement in the heart after astonishment, since he knew what it meant to have an untapped lode of Feiyun Fire Copper uncovered.

If they could take control of this lode, the village would definitely get extraordinary transformation.

Without any other valuable things, people in Feiyun Village could only exchange a few living materials with the spiritual grains, barely solving the problem of food and clothing.

However, if they could sell Feiyun Fire Copper, all villagers would become rich and not worry about making a living any longer.

With enough materials, the kids could read and study, even set foot on the path of cultivation, and take adventures on bustling towns, instead of dwelling in this remote and backward place like their parents and enduring the poverty.

"Uncle Shiao, I suggest you call upon all villagers to excavate the Feiyun Fire Copper. Then everyone could get a share of the gain by selling it."

Lin Xun said quickly.

Shiao Tianren was so excited to hear it and his face turned red because of the ecstasy. However, after a while, he refused although he wanted to accept the suggestion, "No, we can't. You discovered the lode, so it belongs to you. I can summon our villagers to dig out the fire copper for you, and you only need to pay for their labors."

Lin Xun shook his head and said, "It belongs to Feiyun Village. I simply came across it by chance. If you don't accept it, I will give up digging the lode."

He said it calmly yet determinedly.

Shiao Tianren stared at Lin Xun in a daze for a long time, then he asked, "Do you understand how valuable a lode of Feiyun Fire Copper is?"

Picking up the thumb-size fire copper on the desk, he continued, "One piece like this could be sold for 30 Empire copper coins one hundred years ago. If you sold it in the towns, it would be more valuable."

Taking a deep breath in, he kept speaking, "You should know what I just talked about was the case one hundred years ago. You will only get more nowadays, so do you still hold your idea?"

Lin Xun was a little surprised by the worth of Feiyun Fire Copper; however, he nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, I won't change my mind."

He was an orphan growing up with Master Lu. At the age of 13, the mine prison where he grew up was destroyed and Master Lu was missing. He then had to trek to Ziyao Empire on his own.

Feiyun Village was his first residence in Ziyao Empire, and the village head Shiao Tianren, as well as the villagers, had treated him as a family.

Under the circumstance, how could he care too much about the wealth of a lode of Feiyun Fire Copper?

Compared with that, Lin Xun was more grateful for the love and kindness Feiyun villagers showed to him.

...

Shiao Tianren would never treat Lin Xun as a young kid any more from now on. Though he was only 13 years old, he was so mature and sane that ordinary adults would not match.

What's more, he was a spiritual apprentice who did well in inscribing spiritual tattoos, not to mention he was also a strong practitioner with great fighting capacity.

Shiao Tianren asked himself in the heart, if it had been Lian Rufeng who had found Feiyun Fire Copper, he would have never told anyone to share the profit!

With such thought in mind, Shiao Tianren appreciated Lin Xun more and even respected him to some extent.

It was difficult for an old man who had lived most of his life to respect a 13-year-old young kid.
