Chapter 4: The Art of Refining the Soul through Meridian Circulation

Picking up the hoe and standing on the small hill, Yang Ling immediately began to dig without saying a word

"How embarrassing!" Yang Ling said, though she was secretly overjoyed.

Upon answering the phone, my mother asked if it was cold, reminding me that it is already autumn and I should pay attention to dressing warmly. She advised me not to wander around like I did in my childhood while being out alone, and to maintain good relationships with colleagues at work, as well as to respect my superiors. She went on for seven or eight minutes, and it was only after my repeated assurances that she finally stopped. In the end, she urged me to find a girlfriend quickly, mentioning that a woman from our village had recently given birth to a healthy baby boy. Just before hanging up, she added that my uncle had fallen while chopping wood on the mountain the day before and had broken his leg, and he was still lying in the town hospital, suggesting that I should call him if I had the time.

It seems that there will not be a change of location for the time being. With countless years of gaming experience, he knows that the second star will definitely not be as easily fulfilled as the first. Overthinking is of no use; Yang Ling mainly wants to understand what the 1% ore reward and the so-called ore with no stable value actually are.

As soon as Han Xue stepped out, the office was suddenly in chaos. Xu Kai, from the side, exclaimed, "Ling ~! I am hard!"

Yang Ling was not being pretentious, and it was not their first meal together, so they left Jin Fuxuan together and got into a Jin Liufu luxury car, heading straight to a private dining restaurant.

Laughter erupted in the office, and Old Lu was left speechless, having no choice but to lower his head and drink tea

Old Lu on the opposite side quickly leaned over and asked, "Did you see it?" Yang Ling could only nod in response. Old Lu, with a rather discontented expression, sighed deeply, "Being so provocative, I wonder if her husband can handle it!"

Ding ~ '', Grade 1 iron ore, purity 85, value 0.0001

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of self-reproach. Sitting on the bed, she dazedly stared into space for a while, then called her third uncle and chatted for a few minutes, mentioning that she would visit him when she had the time. After ending the call, she checked the time and then entered the miner system

Although it is October and the weather is slightly cool in the morning, Han Xue is wearing a floral jumpsuit today, which barely covers her thighs. Her face is lightly made up, and her skin is fair. Underneath, she wears a tight-fitting, large round-neck t-shirt, and her ample bosom is strikingly white. She walks over to Yang Ling, slightly bending her body. Yang Ling only hears a heavy gasp from the side of the desk, followed by the sound of a chair being pushed back. He knows that it is Xu Kai who has seen something he should not have, completely retreating under the assault of Han Xue's perky backside.

Ding ~, first-class tin ore, purity 87, value 0.0008

Although there is work tomorrow, looking at the time, it is still early to sleep. Yang Ling simply entered the miner system to understand what changes occur after upgrading to one star.

... ...

Time passes quickly when one is busy. It was only when it was almost time to get off work that Yang Ling finished the textual components of the investigation report. The data-related materials still needed to be coordinated with Professor Cui. During those few days in the mine, he essentially just went through the motions.

Watching Yang Ling's actions, Han Xue shot him a playful glare, her body slightly lifting. Only then did Yang Ling let out a sigh of relief. It had been several years since he graduated from university and broke up with his girlfriend, and he hadn't been with a woman since. Such blatant seduction was almost life-threatening.

Sure! Sure! Yang Ling swallowed, feeling a slight dryness in her throat, "Sister Han, please make the arrangements for me, I will follow your lead."

Yang Ling, startled, quickly dropped the hoe and returned to the small courtyard. Indeed, on the ground, in addition to a few pieces of ore, there was a blue-covered book with yellow characters, which he hurriedly picked up. On the cover, it was written in regular script: "The Soul Refining Technique for Unblocking Meridians"

Ding ~ '', Grade 1 iron ore, purity 83, value 0.0001

This is it! Han Xue proudly pressed her hand on Yang Ling's shoulder and straightened up, "Let's do it this Saturday night. Our Linlin is only coming home on Friday. I will call you then, and I guarantee you will be satisfied." After saying this, she seemed to casually brush her elevated bosom and then turned around triumphantly to return to her department.

At that moment, the office director Huang Yongming entered and, seeing the noisy scene, could not help but cough once, prompting everyone to quiet down

After dropping the ore, I left the courtyard and returned to my room. I took a hot shower, sprayed some Yunnan Baiyao on my hands, and then went to bed. In a daze, I fell asleep amidst the incessant sound of "ding ding ding ding" in my mind.

Entering the small courtyard, I took out a water cup I had brought with me and drank a few sips by the well, instantly feeling refreshed and invigorated. Then I picked up the hoe, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself standing on a small hill, surrounded by a lingering haze.

A line of text appeared on the light screen: "The basic physical training skills of the Longxi Clan, of ordinary level, have no fixed value." Then a beam of light shone on the book, and the book vanished into thin air.

Huang Yongming, aged 56, is a well-known good-natured person in the Mining Bureau. After several decades of service, he was finally promoted to a formal position last year, likely due to his extensive experience. As he approaches retirement, everyone shows him respect.

Spitting into the palm of his hand, Yang Ling assumed a stance and began to wield the hoe vigorously.

Yang Ling was somewhat excited; this was a new discovery. There was actually a special type of mineral, but he did not know what it was. He instinctively nodded, and with a flash of green light, a book fell from the center.

After three consecutive reminders, Yang Ling looked up at the light screen, which displayed: "Special mineral detected, sealed status, would you like to decrypt?"

The nature of people! It really is different when I think of the expressions of those colleagues at the Geological and Mineral Bureau

Xiao Yang, the recent investigation of the ancient mine was completed satisfactorily. At the request of the local government and the leaders of the Geological and Mineral Bureau, you are to write a research report. This matter will be considered concluded. Please complete it by next Monday. Is that acceptable?

Yang Ling turned to the side, directly facing Han Xue, who was bending down. A wave of meaty aroma rushed towards him, causing Yang Ling to involuntarily hold his breath and quickly clamp his legs together

Today is already Thursday, and I will meet Han Xue's niece on Saturday. A classmate is coming from Nanjing on Sunday. The usually ample time has suddenly become a bit tight. It seems that I need to slow down on the mining activities recently

As the incessant sound continued, one piece of ore after another vanished before his eyes. He gradually lost track of time, moving the hoe with the speed of a machine, until he unearthed a burst of green light with the hoe, at which point he finally came to his senses

After digging for about an hour, Yang Ling took out his phone to check the time; it was already past 12 o'clock. He then dropped the hoe and left, returning to the small courtyard, only to find a piece of iron ore on the ground. Huh! Could this be the 1% reward? Yang Ling couldn't help but be taken aback, picking up the ore with a mix of laughter and tears. How ridiculous! What use is this thing? He recalled the scene when he first entered, with ore scattered all over the ground; those must have been the rewards left by Chen Tuan.

The small courtyard remains tranquil, with the well water gurgling continuously, clear and smooth. The flowers and grasses on the ground have grown a few centimeters taller, with each blade of grass stretching out, and some have begun to sprout flower buds. I wonder what the courtyard will look like once they bloom. The leaves of the large tree have grown larger, densely covering the branches, and some flower buds have already opened, revealing delicate white petals, with a faint fragrance wafting through. Unfortunately, there is no sunlight here; if there were, the dappled light filtering through the leaves would fall onto the grass, and inhaling this serene scent would undoubtedly be a beautiful enjoyment.

Ding ding ding ~ ! ''

Upon returning home, I casually ate something and was just about to enter the mining system when the phone rang. I took it out and found that it was my mother calling. In the past few days, I had been so excited and busy with mining that I hadn't called home in over ten days

Wow! This is so valuable, Brother Yang has really struck gold! Jin Liufu put down the magnifying glass, "It seems I need to adjust my plans. Originally, I was to help a friend's elder celebrate their silver wedding anniversary by crafting a pair of engraved silver blessing bowls as a gift. However, since this is still raw ore, making bowls would not be cost-effective. This raw stone form seems to be worth more. I will find another way for his gift. Coincidentally, next week I will be attending a small raw stone exhibition organized by industry enthusiasts in Xinjiang. I will take it along to see. If I encounter a buyer, a hundred thousand or eighty thousand is not a problem; it all depends on your luck!"

Get lost! Yang Ling kicked over.

What the hell

Xiao Yang, what do you think about the matter I mentioned to you a few days ago? She is my niece, just graduated from university! She is also very beautiful. " After a pause, he added, " She is much more beautiful than I am! "

The next day, Yang Ling, as usual, finished his soy milk and steamed buns and was chatting casually with a few colleagues in the office. Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed, and he looked up to see Han Xue strutting towards him with her chest out and waist twisted. The air in the office suddenly became tense.

After being silent in the corner for half a day, Luo Yunqiang suddenly exclaimed, "Old Lu, behind every goddess you wish to pursue, there is a man who is so nauseatingly devoted to her!"

You don't need to be so polite with me, it's not a burden. I've been there a few times before, and there was never anything particularly impressive. Now that I have this treasure of yours, perhaps I can also gain some face. Jin Liufu interrupted Yang Ling and then glanced at his watch before continuing, Let's go, it's already six o'clock. Let's have dinner first. You can leave this treasure of yours with me for now. We'll check the results next week. If it doesn't meet your expectations, I'll take it for fifty thousand yuan, and I won't let you suffer any losses

After finishing dinner, he went for a massage, and by the time he returned home, it was already eleven o'clock at night. Yang Ling felt dizzy and completely relaxed. He reflected on the fact that he was merely a small civil servant at a level below deputy section chief, while Jin Liufu, with a fortune of several tens of millions, had never put on any airs. He initially thought that the silver ore worth around ten thousand could be sold for over fifty thousand, which was beyond his expectations. To him, it seemed like a small amount of money, but for himself, it should be considered a significant windfall. Jin Liufu, with a fortune of several tens of millions, had never put on any airs.

Seeing Yang Ling nod, Huang Yongqing turned and left. Yang Ling also began to prepare the materials, during which he estimated that he would need to communicate with Professor Cui from the University of Geosciences to ensure the consistency of the reports provided by both parties. This is also a certificate for the local government to develop the ancient mine.
