”It’s nothing, just speak directly.” Chen Fei seemed to notice the wariness in Iron One and the others’ hearts, shook his head, and said calmly.

If it were before, he might have been wary of Cang Kun and Blue Whale, but now, one had become a servant sworn under a blood curse, and the other... given his current cultivation level and realm, there was no need to be wary or fearful.

Therefore, although Iron One and the others’ wariness and hesitation were understandable, they were unnecessary.

”But...” Even though Chen Fei had already said so, Iron One still hesitated a little.

After all, what kind of figures were the Island Masters Cang Kun and Blue Whale? Anyone lurking within a radius of several hundred to nearly a thousand miles would know of their reputations. Who didn’t know how formidable they were?

Moreover, the matter of the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein was indeed of great significance!

”There’s no ’but,’ just speak.” Seeing this, Chen Fei shook his head once more, his tone becoming somewhat firmer.

”Well, alright then...” Upon hearing Chen Fei’s tone, Iron One hesitated but ultimately didn’t dare defy Chen Fei’s authority and words as his master.

Subsequently, he glanced at Cang Kun and Blue Whale behind Chen Fei, then leaned closer, lowering his voice: ”Master, something huge has happened at the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave! There, in the depths of the Black Profound Copper Vein, Elder Jin and the others have discovered traces of Black Profound Copper Essence...”

”Black Profound Copper Essence? What’s that, is it precious?” Chen Fei slightly froze, subconsciously murmuring.

He seemed to have never heard of such a thing. Just by the name, it seemed quite similar to Black Profound Copper, suggesting there might be a connection.

”What? Black Profound Copper Essence?” However, upon hearing Chen Fei’s murmur, both Cang Kun and Blue Whale couldn’t help but express their shock and blurt out, ”Is it the Black Profound Copper Essence that can aid in crafting top-grade magical artifacts?”

In this range of several hundred to nearly a thousand miles, Black Profound Copper ore, though a decent mineral, was at best auxiliary crafting material for mid-grade magical artifacts. Its value was average, but Black Profound Copper Essence was different, for it was a precious mineral product condensed from the Earth’s energy, capable of assisting in crafting top-grade magical artifacts, even being used as a primary embryo for top-tier minerals!

Even in Ghost Wolf City, such treasures were usually priceless! If one could persuade a skilled Artifact Refiner to craft it into a top-grade magical artifact, its value would be incredibly astonishing, usually priceless.

Thus, it made sense that Iron One and the others initially wanted to guard against Cang Kun and Blue Whale.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such top-tier crafting materials?

”Oh, I see, crafting material for top-grade magical artifacts? Not bad. And what about the reserve? How much is there?” However, it was obvious that Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, was the calmest of all.

And it wasn’t a pretended calm, it was genuine! No help for it, the crafting material for top-grade magical artifacts sounded impressive, indeed, but in reality?

But in reality, such stuff, in Chen Fei’s mind, was just so-so!

After all, would he still lack top-grade magical artifacts now? With his alchemy skills, would he lack spirit stones?

The answer was definitely no! Definitely not lacking. So, it was really just so-so after all.

Seeing Chen Fei’s calm demeanor, whether Iron One and the Eight Great Iron Guards or Elder Jin Wanchun and both Cang Kun and Blue Whale, couldn’t help but gaze at him with a peculiar admiration.

No help for it, Chen Fei’s ability to remain incomparably calm in the face of such news, indeed, put him completely out of their league. The level of composure was at least light-years apart.

”Lord Cave Master, the Black Profound Copper Essence is extremely hard, so even with my cultivation level and realm, I couldn’t go further to investigate. However, according to my estimation, the Black Profound Copper Essence buried in the depths of the Black Profound Copper Vein should have formed on a scale. At least a micro scale.”

In this situation, hearing Chen Fei’s composed inquiry, even Elder Jin Wanchun felt slightly more at ease, speaking out, though his voice carried a hint of tremble and nervousness.

No help for it, it was the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein! And a micro one at that, the magnitude of wealth was something he had never seen in his life. How could he not be nervous? Being calm would be a lie.

”A micro-sized Black Profound Copper Essence Vein that has formed a scale?” Upon hearing this, even Cang Kun and Blue Whale couldn’t help but be drastically shocked.

Because this wasn’t a matter to be taken lightly. Having formed a scale versus not having formed one were two completely different matters! The value was worlds apart.

”A Black Profound Copper Essence Vein that has formed a scale?” Chen Fei also murmured with a glint in his eyes, slightly surprised.

”Kid, you truly have heaven-defying luck. A micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, if fully extracted, its value could rival half a Lizhen Furnace.” Within the sea of consciousness, Zhen Jingkong clicked his tongue and shook his head.

A vein like this, it’s either nonexistent or immensely valuable! Intermediate states were skipped entirely, so even he couldn’t help but admire that Chen Fei’s luck was simply heaven-defying! Wherever he went, luck exploded there.

”Yes, Lord Cave Master, this Black Profound Copper Essence Vein is of enormous importance, immensely valuable, but now, it seems the Red Lion Cave has also caught wind of it, and Red Lion Daoist has designs on our Black Profound Copper Essence Vein,” Iron One said.

”It seems true. They had long tried to solicit the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave from us, and we were puzzled then, but unexpectedly, it was because of this. Master, what should we do now?” Upon hearing Iron One, one of the Eight Great Iron Guards couldn’t hold back and spoke.

”And, and Cloud Dragon Mountain! Didn’t Luo Quan just say that if we, Enlightened Deity Cave, don’t pass the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave to them, they would ally with Cloud Dragon Mountain against us?” The irascible Iron Three quickly voiced.

”Red Lion Cave, Cloud Dragon Mountain? Just two mere clowns jumping around,”

Upon hearing this, a touch of coldness and sharpness flashed in Chen Fei’s dark, crystal-clear eyes.

Subsequently, Chen Fei slowly turned his head towards Taoist Cang Kun behind him and asked, ”Cang Kun, can you handle Red Lion Cave and Cloud Dragon Mountain?”

This question left everyone present, except for Blue Whale Elder, dumbfounded. They were in shock.

Because the tone and manner of Chen Fei’s question seemed to command Taoist Cang Kun, Grand Island Master of Canglan Island, with a superior air as if it was impossible. Were they dreaming?

But what happened afterwards awakened them from their dream, deeply and clearly making them realize they weren’t dreaming. It was real!
