Chapter 175: Mysterious mineral deposit
After the flying ice mountain entered the borderies of the Mainland, Qingling controled it to stop moving and made it continue floating while she began discussing on how they would proceed next.
"So there's no change in the plan?"
Shaking his head, Bai Long said, "We'll follow the plan I told you before."
The plan wasn't a complicated one at all.
Qingling would go back to her Sect and continue living inside it, while Bai Long found himself a place to land the flying ice mountain and increase both his own personal strength and the strength of his army while sending half of the Divine Yin which was produced by his bracelet to Qingling every year.
Nodding her head from remembering the plan, Qingling didn't forget to once again warn Bai Long and advised him to be safe.
After all, if anything ended up happening to him, she would be forced to die while being unable to breakthrough into the Sage Realm.
At the same time, she even thought him how to use the various arrays which were used to control the flying ice mountain and the materials needed to further upgrade its capabilities.
As for how to upgrade them, she gave him a thick manual which had all the complicated details on how to perform the upgrades written inside it.
Once all of this was over, Bai Long gave Qingling one Ring of Transmission, while she did the same because one of them could end up not working properly.
After that, Qingling chose to fly away while leaving behind Bai Long who now had the complete control over the flying ice mountain.
Waiting for a while until he was sure that Qingling was no longer around him or could sense what he was doing, Bai Long brought out a small fist-sized golden cup from the Ring of Darkness.
With an uncountable number of arrays both around and inside it, there was a small quantity of water inside it while a layer of glass covered the open part of it.
This was a special item which Bai Long had made from the resources that were inside the vault he had taken from the Disaster Bitches.
The cup had only one use. Find rare resources and minerals.
To do this, one only had to place a material of whichever element they were trying to find on top of the glass lid and wait until the water inside the cup began pointing him in the direction of where resources with the same element were at.
Taking out a drop of Divine Yin which he had made sure to not use, Bai Long placed it on top of the glass lid which instantly absorbed it all.
Next, the golden cup began shining while the water inside it started behaving as if a miniature whirlpool before suddenly coming to a stop.
The next few minutes, the water didn't show any signs of movement but Bai Long wasn't disappointed and patiently waited since the cum was still shining and this meant that it was still working on locating where the nearest resource with the same element was at.
Not much surprised because he had already expected such a thing, Bai Long felt he'd be lucky if the cup managed to find anything in the first try.
After all, the cup had its own limitations and couldn't scan the entire Mainland.
Therefore even though the cup started showing signs of turning dim while the water didn't start moving, Bai Long didn't feel too disappointed and started thinking of where he should use the cup next.
It was at that moment that the water showed a very weak reaction by barely pointing towards the north east direction from where the mountain was at right now.
Frowning for a while from the possibility of it being just the way his hand was holding the cup, Bai Long decided to just test it out because he had nothing else to do anyway.
Moving the flying ice mountain as a whole, Bai Long quickly realized that it wasn't the way his hands were holding the cup but that the reaction the cup was having was weak due to how far away they were from the resource it located.
The longer Bai Long continued moving the flying ice mountain, the more obvious the reaction of the water inside the cup as it started to more accurately point towards what it had found.
Almost flying for an entire hour and travelling a distance of few hundred kilometres, the water was no longer pointing in any direction but stayed perfectly still even when Bai Long shakes the cup.
Flying down while leaving the mountain to stay floating, Bai Long saw the thick forests which covered the entire land as far as his eyes could see.
Flying even lower and stepping inside the forests, Bai Long found out that there were no actual herbs or materials littered on the ground.
This could only mean that the resources found by the cup were under the surface and he needed to mine them to bring them out and then find out what it really was that the cup located.
Luckily, he had just the tool to do so.
Going back up the mountain and making it land on the exact same spot that the water was pointing him in, Bai Long surprisingly didn't get off the mountain and chose to go through the special passage inside the mansion which led to the exact centre of the mountain.
Not at the peak, but at the bottom end.
Walking through the ice caves to the special part of the flying ice mountain which had the capabilities of creating a huge hole om any surface it was in contact with.
Using it to quickly make a hole which was big enough for an above-average sized human to pass through it, Bai Long moved the mountain to the side and flew near the hole which was covered by completely crushed trees, plants, and small animals in all directions.
