Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2170

"The thing is, no one has ever gotten grade ten rating since the owner of the mine set such a rule. It's rare for people to get anything higher than grade six. Most people just get grade one or two."

Wilbur was a little speechless to hear this. Tuttle Mine was supposed to be sealed off, and mining here was supposed to be banned. How could such a rule still exist?

Punter could see the gears turning in Wilbur's mind and smiled. "I guess you haven't figured it out yet, young man. Some things have varying factors, you know. Tuttle Mine might be announced as sealed off, but Mister Buck has his own rules for cultivators."

Wilbur was confused. "What special purpose does this mine have? Do cultivators actually come all the way here to challenge Mister Buck just to mine here?"

"Of course. It's been said that the copper mined from Tuttle Mine has the ability to absorb one's aura, and wearing an accessory made of this copper ore can hide one's aura. Aside from that, a bronze chest made out of said copper can be used to store one's spiritual aura as well. Those bronze chests are highly valuable in Eweyn's black market. After all, one only has so much spiritual aura, and you need that for things like setting up formations and spiritual training. Elites can sell their aura for a profit, which benefits the weak too."

Punter winked at Wilbur and continued, "If you're interested, Mister Penn, I can take you to the black market. You can take a look at the different products they have there. Maybe some of them might be able to help with your cultivation."

"I see. Thank you very much, Mister Punter."

Wilbur followed Punter into the mansion, who chatted briefly with the butler there. The butler nodded, glancing at Wilbur before heading off to fetch Mister Buck.

"Mister Buck, I'd like to take a look inside Tuttle Mine. Can you give me the chance to do that?"

Buck held up a hand at once with a solemn expression on his face. "Chances aren't handed to you but fought for with hard work. Since Punter has already told you my rules and you're a cultivator, are you up for the challenge?"

"Of course."

"Alright. Come with me, and we'll head to the martial arts arena."
