Because the mine was so far from Cyan Yang City, the miners couldn't return home even for the New Year. They all celebrated right there. The mine, of course, had to be decorated to give them a taste of the festive atmosphere.
But of course, the main event was the Elder's inspection.
「Three days later.」
Several fine horses pulling a carriage stopped at the mine's entrance, followed by a convoy of carts that had come to transport the Profound Iron Ore.
The door curtain was lifted, and a handsome, middle-aged man with a commanding presence stepped out of the carriage.
He was incredibly burly. Beneath his wide robes, the bulging contours of his muscles were faintly visible. His immense aura was like a great mountain stepping down from the carriage.
It was none other than Elder Gong Shu, one of the four great elders of Li Fire Peak!
