Iceberg Jewel

  In this lava crystal vein where it's as cold as winter, there must be some hidden opportunity, perhaps something good will appear.

  "No problem, I'll take you to see the boss right away!" The man was very interested in Xiaoming and was unusually excited, patting his chest.

  "I'm getting old and can't stand the cold, you go by yourself." The old butler was tactful and didn't join in.

  Xia Ming nodded and let Da Han lead the way.

  The road in the mine twisted and turned, closely following the footsteps of Da Han, as Xia Ming walked deeper and deeper.

  "As expected, something is off." Xia Ming gradually felt a chill, logically speaking, this was a lava crystal mine, it should get hotter the deeper you go, but now it's just the opposite.

  Gradually, in front of a narrow piece, has arrived at the entrance of a small cave.

  "The adults are right here in this cave!" The big man said foolishly.

  Xia Ming nodded and stepped into the cave, but took a breath of cool air.

  "It's so cold!" Xiaoming couldn't help but shiver, a chill ran down his spine, and the temperature outside was like two different worlds. He instantly felt endless coldness.

  "What...how could this be?" Xia Ming was extremely shocked.

  "Sir, normally we don't dare to enter. It's really too cold inside, it will freeze people to death. We can only rest outside." the big man said.

  Xia Ming nodded in understanding, this cave was indeed too cold, probably only water system mages could withstand such chill.

  "You just wait outside, I'll go take a look." Xiaoming and Da Han greeted each other, then walked into the cave.

  The cold air made Xia Ming's teeth chatter slightly, and it wasn't until he conjured up a flame guardian with magic that he felt much better, but still terribly chilled.

  Inside and outside the cave were completely different places, it was an icy world, with ice crystals and ice blocks all around, giving off a chilling aura. The ice crystals were like mirrors, reflecting Xiaoming's figure.

  "This view is not bad, huh? This pattern..." Xiaoming sighed and suddenly his eyes condensed, from the texture of the rock he discerned some clues.

  "There's a magical ore here...... I just don't know which one it is!" Part of the texture on the rock was covered by ice crystals, and Xiaoming didn't see it completely, but he was absolutely sure that there was some kind of magical gemstone hidden under this rock!

  It's clear that it's because of the magical gemstone that this place is so abnormal and so cold.

  Unexpectedly, Xiaoming was pleasantly surprised by this gain when he came here.

  Dig!

  Xia Ming is not a qualified miner, but unlike the last Green Hair Worm Forest, he has enough strength to perform magic blasting and dig out ore after reaching level 5.

  "Boom!" A burst of flame exploded on the ice crystal, melting the snow and ice. The magic burst forth in an explosion, sending several rocks flying out immediately. Xiaoming faintly saw a glimmer of gemstone light.

  That was a faint blue glow, indicating that Xiaoming still had some distance to go before he could dig out the gemstone.

  "The water element, it seems to be a gemstone containing the water element." Xia Ming judged.

  With a wave of his staff, several more intense magical explosions occurred. Fortunately, Xiaoming's magic was fully sufficient; otherwise, an ordinary magician wouldn't have been able to handle this task.

  This time the explosive force was much greater, large pieces of ice crystals splashed everywhere, the sound was deafening, and the ice blocks rolled around all over the place. Fortunately, Xiaoming used a magic shield, otherwise he would have suffered physical pain.

  "It's still better for warriors to dig mines with their strength, mages are a bit too violent...” Xiaoming sighed, wishing that Tang Ge was here to do the hard labor.

  At last, the treasure buried underground revealed its true appearance. Xia Ming stared at it intently and almost had his eyes wide with wonder.

  "This is the Ice Ling Gem!" It was a gemstone as big as a football, emitting pure light, pale blue, just like ice and snow, containing terrifying magical fluctuations.

  "What a huge piece of ice crystal, this is also too terrifying." Xiaoming murmured.

  Ice Crystal, a water-elemental gemstone, has a very large use. It is one of the most gentle gemstones, with almost no rejection to any magical element, and is exceptionally tough. With its beautiful appearance, it is treasured by countless nobles.

  Of course, the nobles' pursuit is one aspect, but the greatest use of Froststone is for alchemists.

  Ice crystal gemstone is the best material for making pharmacist's crucible!

  Due to its non-repulsive properties towards any magical elements, combined with its exceptional hardness, the Ice Lingzhi gemstone is almost the best material for crafting an alchemy cauldron. With a cauldron made from this gemstone, an alchemist's success rate in brewing will be greatly increased, and even enhance the quality of the medicine!

  The ice crystal in front of him was as big as a football...

  Enough for him to make an elixir and still have some left!

  Xia Ming smiled contentedly, with the Ice Ling gemstone, his alchemy level would be elevated once again.

  "It's gone!" Xiaoming put the Ice Ling gemstone into the spatial ring, and the air temperature around him began to slowly rise. He believed that it wouldn't take long for this cave to return to its scorching heat.

  Out of the cave, the big man was still waiting for him there.

  "Excuse me, sir..."

  Xia Ming smiled slightly: "The reason why this cave is so cold is because of a strange gemstone. Now that I've taken the gemstone away, the temperature in the cave will return to normal."

  "As compensation, I'll improve your food for you. From now on, each of you will get an additional 300 gold coins for food every month."

  The big Han's eyes lit up and he immediately praised Xia Ming, but for a moment, he couldn't find the right words and could only say: "Sir, you are truly a good person..."

  Xia Ming rubbed his nose, and after coming to this world, the first person to give him a good man card was actually an uncle.

  Back in the mine, Da Han told Xia Ming's 'welfare policy' to other miners, and there was another burst of applause. For these miners, being able to eat a little more meat for each meal is a kind of happiness.

  Xia Ming got the Ice Ling gemstone and didn't stay for long. He left the mine directly and returned to school in high spirits.

  ……

  In the house, Xiaoming began to refine the ice crystal gemstone with magic power. The ice crystal gemstone was extremely hard and refining it was a very long process.

  Five hours later.

  Xia Ming, drenched in sweat, panted: "This is too difficult to refine, it took several hours and used up all my magic power just to barely create a rough outline..."

  The medicine cauldron only made a vague outline, still far from completion, but this also made Xiaoming more expectant. After all, the slower the refining process, the higher the quality of the Ice Lingbao stone, and after the carving is completed, it will be more beneficial for him.

  At this time, Xiaoming drank a few more bottles of magical potion and continued to refine...

  "Huh?......" Along the way, Xia Ming let out a light hum, he discovered that this ice crystal gemstone was somewhat unusual.

  "What's going on?"

  In the Ice Ling Gem, there was always a fist-sized transparent crystal stone that could not be refined. This crystal stone was extremely hard and no matter how Xia Ming struggled, he could not refine it in the slightest.
