Everything was abuzz, people were running through the mine shafts pushing carts and even carrying stones by hands. Things like spatial rings were forbidden, the sect leaders not wanting workers to steal anything. This increased the workload on them though, but that was a price the men in charge were willing to pay.
"Quickly, the Grand Elder has given his order, we must carry it out!"
Everyone was scared of the new Grand Elder that showed up. The people were speculating but they knew that something was off about this situation. The old Grand Elder Zhu was missing now, some came to the conclusion that he was probably embezzling funds from this mine and he got caught red-handed. He was probably getting punished now, but this didn't explain why they were gathering every single spirit stone they have mined into the biggest storeroom here.
The Grand Elder in question was just floating outside the gorge at the moment, seemingly looking into the air while flicking his finger. No one dared to comment as they just hurried up with their work. This mine wasn't all that huge, so in a couple of hours, the last minecart with some raw spirit stone ores was dumped into the storeroom.
The whole room was radiating with spiritual energy now, there was a big mountain of pure refined stones in one corner. Another large pile of the raw ores right next to it. People were even having trouble breathing in this room, too much spiritual energy in one spot could cause something akin to poisoning if your cultivation wasn't high enough to resist.
"This is all we were able to gather Grand Elder Ming!"
A man in a long robe and a funny looking long hat bowed while the elder named Wu Ming stood just before the entrance to the storeroom. He had a vacant look and was just staring at the piles of gem-like stones just piled up to the roof.
"Grand Elder?"
Matt twitched and coughed into his hand before turning to the sect manager that was responsible for gathering everything here.
"Mhm, is this all of it?"

"Yes my lord, everything that hasn't been shipped yet is all gathered here! It's half a year's worth of what the mine produces."
The man replied while looking at the shiny pile in the storeroom, the spiritual energy making his eyebrows shake slightly.
"This is half a year's worth..."
Matt mumbled to himself while the man next to him continued.
"Yes Grand Elder, you arrived a week before we were planning to ship the stones to the main sect, the processing of the stones takes a while so we don't ship it out often."
'They probably also have to have one of their nascent soul old farts act as a bodyguard. Probably that's also why they don't transport monthly.'
Matt's reasoning, in this case, was, that the old nascent soul masters would rather cultivate in peace than act as convoy security. They probably came to a consensus of doing it twice a year.
"Mhm, leave me now, I need to check on the spirit stone... quality... don't let anyone else enter this room!"
Matt waved his hand and the large door behind him closed shut. He was now alone in this room, he felt like he was getting a tan from just standing in this radiant blue glow. He moved over to the biggest pile of refined stones and slowly placed his palm on it.
