Next, Li Hao, Long Sheng, and the others took a car to a very famous hotel in the West Mountain. It was called the Rayden Hotel.
The name of the restaurant was quite meaningful. When he was angry or unhappy, he would come here. His mood would improve after eating some good dishes.
During the meal, Li Hao got to know the big shots of West Mountain.
People continuously gave Li Hao toasts and Li Hao politely returned.
Even Long Fei’er and Li Hao drank two glasses with him.
His alcohol tolerance was astonishing! It shocked Gao Laozhuang and the others.
Only Long Sheng and his daughter had calm expressions. After knowing that Li Hao was a cultivator, they felt that this was very normal.
The meal lasted for more than four hours.
Gao Laozhuang and the others left. They still had some meetings in the afternoon. Before they left, they exchanged numbers with Li Hao.
With more friends, there would be more connections. Perhaps he would need friends in the future.
And at these people’s status, making friends depended on people and status.
After dinner, Li Hao got into Long Sheng’s private business car.
“Chairman Long, can we go and take a look at the spirit stone mine you mentioned now?” asked Li Hao with a smile.
“You can’t wait anymore, Chairman Li! Haha, let’s go to the mine now… Who asked you to be so popular? These big shots all want to befriend you!” In the car, Long Sheng said to Li Hao again.
Soon, the car headed for the suburbs of West Mountain.
West Mountain was even larger than Jiangbei. It was not as famous or prosperous as Jiangbei in China, but there were many tycoons here.
This was because the West Mountain was very rich in mineral resources.
Coal mine, iron mine, copper mine, silver mine, gold mine…
As the richest man in West Mountain, Long Sheng had also made a fortune because of these mineral resources. Moreover, he controlled most of them.
The spirit stone mine Long Sheng mentioned was also discovered by chance.
They sat in the car for more than two hours.
After entering the mountains, the road became a mechanized road.
The weather in the mountains also became a little gloomy.
Finally, they arrived at the mine.
The mine was huge, covering a radius of several kilometers.
There was mud everywhere, and everything was messy. The environment was not very good. The primitive environment of the area had been mostly destroyed.
Li Hao could not help but sigh when he saw this.
Destroying the environment for wealth was not worth it.
Not long after, as they went deeper into the mine, there were more houses on one side of the motorway. These houses were made of wood planks and looked very simple. Moreover, Li Hao could see people in tattered work clothes coming and going.
Clearly, this area was where the vast majority of people who worked on this mine lived.
Li Hao noticed that when most of these people came out, they were relatively clean. However, the people who went back looked like they had returned from Africa. They were dark all over.
Miner.
This was a miner.
This was their daily work.
When Li Hao saw this scene, he could not help but feel emotional.
This house was where these miners lived.
In each of them, there might be many people living. Perhaps they were their colleagues or their families.
This might not be their original home, but for the sake of living, it had become their home.
Even some of the miners’ families lived here.
These people worked in the darkness, but they used their hands to support the blue sky for their families behind them.
Although their job looked miserable, they earned it with their own hands.
Every time they returned, their eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Li Hao saw some women and children at the entrance of some houses.
Long Sheng, who was beside him, perhaps noticed Li Hao’s gaze and said calmly, “There are more than a thousand such miners on this mine. Most of them are from these mountains and have been working here for many years…”
Li Hao nodded and did not say anything else.
Li Hao was not a saint.
Life was like that. It was not necessarily all good. There was also reality and cruelty.
But everyone had their own life, their own way of living. It was everyone’s freedom.
Soon, Long Sheng brought Li Hao deeper and arrived at a mine, but the surroundings of the mine were sealed.
Clearly, it was sealed by Long Sheng.
“The spirit stone on Fei’er was discovered under this mine,” Long Sheng said directly to Li Hao.
Li Hao looked at the mine and his eyes narrowed.
The next moment, Li Hao went straight to the edge of the mine and looked into the depths.
The mine was extremely dark. There was no light, and he could not see how deep it was. It was terrifying.
At the same time, Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
He was right.
An extremely pure spiritual power emitted from the mine, and it was extremely rich.
“I’ll go in and take a look!” Li Hao said to Long Sheng.
“Do you want me to arrange for a few workers who are familiar with this mine to go down with you?” Long Sheng asked Li Hao.
“No, I can go down by myself,” Li Hao said calmly again. There was no need.
With that, Li Hao entered the mine and went down.
Long Sheng and Long Fei’er looked at each other when they saw this scene.
“Dad, is he okay going down alone?” Long Fei’er asked Long Sheng. She was a little afraid looking at the dark mine, but Li Hao actually went down alone. For a moment, she was actually a little worried.
“Of course! He’s a cultivator! Such a small mine can’t stop him. Even if it collapses, it won’t stop him from coming out,” Long Sheng immediately said with certainty. Then, he looked at Long Fei’er in surprise with a faint smile.
“Are you worried? Fei’er, do you like him?”
Hearing Long Sheng’s words, Long Fei’er blushed.
“No!” Long Fei’er pouted. She would definitely not admit it.
“Haha!”
Long Sheng smiled again when he saw this scene.
In the mine, Li Hao went deeper and quickly descended down dozens of meters.
The mine was very deep, as if it was hundreds of meters deep.
Although there was no light, it was not a problem for a cultivator like Li Hao.
Li Hao’s senses were sharp. Everything in the mine was within his perception.
As Li Hao went deeper, the spiritual power filled the entire space became richer.
Li Hao could not help but feel excited. It must be a spirit stone mine. Now, he only needed to confirm how much and how big this spirit stone mine was…
