Austin, the gnome and Violet slowly dropped down to the bottom of the pit hole, which Austin made by continuously punching the ground.
Its size was at least five or six times deeper and wider than it originally was, which was impressive.
"Down here, boy, your powerful physical strength would automatically earn you a place as a digger!"
the gnome said, as he pointed at the bottom of the pit Austin made.
"Thanks," he said cheekily. "Alright then, let's get going!"
Austin released his physical strength at once and delivered strong punch right onto the ground.
Without any kind of reservation, he poured his full force that was equivalent to almost seven hundred thousand pounds into the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They felt the whole mountain shake a little bit.
With two or three punches, another large ditch with a width of four to five meters was created at the bottom of the pit.
In a flash, gnome jumped down into it.
Austin and Violet followed him closely.
The ditch was about ten meters deep, and it got narrower as they descended.
"Down here, continue digging here!"
gnome said as he halted in the middle of the ditch and pointed downward.
With Austin's continued digging, a wider and deeper ditch was formed.
Finally, they were over two hundred meters under the ground. With that depth, Austin started to suspect that gnome was wrong with the direction that they were going, but when he fixed his eyes on the soil under his feet, he suddenly let out a soft gasp.
Squatting down, Austin grabbed a handful of dirt. It was wet, and there was a certain rich spiritual energy permeating in the moisture that was infused with it. As he breathed deeply, he felt the tremendous amount of energy that it was containing.
A spark of joy could be seen in Austin's eyes when he realized the land that they were stepping on was indeed out of the ordinary.
Encouraged by this discovery, Austin once again channeled his physical strength and dug another forty to fifty meters deep. When they reached that depth, gnome said, "Stop! I think we're here."
Puff!
There was something wrong with how that sounded.
Then suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, bright rays peered from underneath, and it lit the dark pit as bright as broad daylight.
It was the divine vital energy crystals.
Crystals the size of a fist were shining bright amidst all the dirt around them.
Austin felt a very dense spiritual energy emitting from them, which was rose-colored with violet mist around the crystals.
These crystals were exactly what they were looking for.
After they discovered the crystals, Austin continued to widen and deepen the mud pit, finally he dug out three hundred divine vital energy crystals in total.
"Gnome, you do truly have an acute sense. You're unmatched.
How were you able to sense these divine vital energy crystals that have been buried so deep into the earth?"
Austin asked as he fawn over gnome's remarkable perception.
"Lad, do you really think I take these divine vital energy crystals as something out of the ordinary?
Continue digging," he encouraged, looking at Austin with solemn eyes. "Go ahead and give it a try."
A strange smile then appeared on his lips.
"Continue? Should I continue digging deeper?"
Austin asked in astonishment.
"Are you saying that there is still something underneath these divine vital energy crystals?"
Gnome didn't answer but his look told Austin that more treasures were underneath. With that, he proceeded to dig another thirty to forty meters into the earth.
"Well, be gentle, lad!
Always remember to loosen the soil first. Also, gently," gnome said.
Austin relented, rolling up his sleeves. Since then, he started pushing gentle vital energy force forward, removing the upper layer of dirt slowly. It didn't take long until a snow white jade came into view.
A refreshing breeze greeted Austin's face as soon as the jade appeared. Instantly, he felt peace and happiness, both in his mind and body.
