Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 954: Chapter 366: Breakthrough, Mid-stage Core Formation!

To activate the [mineral vein], the prerequisite is to have the panel recognize this [mineral vein] as your own.

Only after acquiring ownership, is it possible to activate this structure.

Ji Yuan had mastered this technique when activating the [Spirit Vein] earlier. Now, to try activating the [Void Nether Stone Mineral Vein], he can only use this method.

The question now is how to make the panel recognize this structure as his own?

At that time, when recognizing the [Spirit Vein], he used Shang Court’s methods.

The unknown technique could silently erode the [Spirit Vein], but now that the technique is gone, what should be done?

Ji Yuan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately took out his method—Blazing Fire Marching Ants!

He gently patted the Spirit Beast Bag on his waist.

Four streams of black silk flew out, landed on the ground, and then quickly crawled towards the mineral vein under his command.

The Blazing Fire Marching Ants split into four groups, arrived at the four corners marked by Ji Yuan, and then unleashed their talents, frantically gnawing at the mineral vein in front of them.

All of a sudden, the entire mine tunnel was filled with the "swish swish" sounds of gnawing at gravel and stone.

Ji Yuan raised his hand, and four Array Flags flew out, landing on the ground where he came from.

Then he took out the Yin Ghost Banner that he had already upgraded and inserted it into the ground.

Black fog spread along the mineral vein and immediately sealed off a large area.

From then on, no sound escaped.

Ji Yuan manipulated the group of Blazing Fire Marching Ants in front of him, "watching" them gnaw a large part of the mineral vein, and finally converged two by two, completely penetrating the mineral vein.

In essence, the Void Nether Stone Mineral Vein in front of him was directly sliced off a portion!

Ji Yuan suddenly looked up.

But above this section of the mineral vein, the white text he yearned for did not appear.

... It shouldn’t be, logically, this should already be mine.

Ji Yuan immediately reached out and placed his hand on this section of the mineral vein, mana gushing out, completely enveloping this section of the mineral vein.

As long as he wanted, with a heart thought, he could directly take this section of the mineral vein into the Storage Bag.

But even so, neither the view in front of him nor the structure on the panel appeared.

The words [mineral vein] or the five words [Void Nether Stone Mineral Vein] did not appear.

This all indicates that the panel does not have the [Void Nether Stone Mineral Vein] structure.

Just like Ji Yuan’s yearned-for [Mall].

Thinking about it, the same as this [Mall], if even the structure were available, then what need would there be for oneself?

All resources could be purchased within the [Mall], bought out, and used to upgrade structures.

If that were the case, it wouldn’t matter whether I existed or not.

Now the [Void Nether Stone Mineral Vein] is the same.

If this structure existed, the panel could be entirely self-sufficient.

Living another day would be redundant.

Forget it, if it doesn’t exist, then it doesn’t exist!

Now just snatch it directly.

Ji Yuan immediately changed his mind, began to manipulate the Blazing Fire Marching Ants, letting them freely move, searching for Void Nether Stone within the mineral vein, and after finding it, "biting" it off and sending it back.

The Blazing Fire Marching Ants quickly left at the command, and before long, the entire mine tunnel echoed with sounds of gnawing at gravel and stone.

The saliva of these marching ants inherently carries a powerful corrosive ability, while the Blazing Fire Marching Ants modified by Hundred Insects Old Immortal possessed, in addition to the corrosive ability, a flame-burning ability.

Corrosive and burning.

This further enhanced the gnawing ability of these marching ants.

Thus, in just half an incense stick’s time, dozens of pieces of Void Nether Stone were sent back.

Watching the scene of thousands of ants transporting Void Nether Stone, Ji Yuan’s heart was undoubtedly filled with excitement.

He raised his hand and directly collected the excavated Void Nether Stones into the Storage Bag.

He also roughly estimated in his heart, just a moment’s work, he must have gotten over ten pounds of Void Nether Stone.

"At this rate, if I excavate without regard for consequences, after three days... I might be able to take away several thousand pounds!"

"But if I really do this, Bone Nightmare Old Demon might come looking for trouble."

Ji Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and instead took out a spiritual artifact-level flying thorn from the Storage Bag, manipulating it with the Artifact Manipulation Technique to fly, chaotically hacking at the places gnawed by the Blazing Fire Marching Ants.

For some more obvious places, he even removed the entire stone and took it into the Storage Bag.

To act, one must act the full range.

Earlier at the Core Formation Conference, Ji Yuan had already exposed the information that he raised Spirit Beasts, and they were ant-type Spirit Beasts.

If he leaves such obvious traces here, there’s no need to think too much, it’s certainly self-theft.

Not long after, Ji Yuan dug nearly a hundred pounds of Void Nether Stone in this mine tunnel and immediately withdrew, then moved to another mine tunnel.

Continuing the mining operation.

Overall, with the presence of Blazing Fire Marching Ants, finding Void Nether Stone is convenient, and excavating is also convenient.

The only consumption is somewhat taxing on the teeth, taxing the Blazing Fire Marching Ants’ teeth.

Therefore, after excavating several mine tunnels, Ji Yuan must replace the group of Blazing Fire Marching Ants.

But this is no matter, the [Ant Nest] structure is like the [Beehive], one of the Spirit Effects is "increasing the recovery speed of the ant colony."

Ji Yuan’s level 2 [Ant Nest] can increase recovery speed by 30%, just this minor injury, going back to nourish for a few months will recover.

Thus, in the next two days, Ji Yuan kept repeating the cycle, mining continuously...
