Previously introduced.

The layout of Qian Gu Mountain is typical, with tall peaks in the east and short peaks in the west, forming a ring shape from a bird's eye view.

It looks like an east-high-west-low cylinder, with some hollow spaces inside.

The cave discovered by Liu Ming and Zhang Yaqing and others is located at the foot of the third highest peak on the east side, so there is a flat area in front of the cave entrance that can be used for helicopter landing.

Lei Wenjun's helicopter landed here, without needing to walk an extra mountain path like Lin Ziming did before.

As Lei Wenjun stepped out of the helicopter door, Lin Ziming quickly walked forward, extending his hand:

"Director Lei, Director Lei, I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

The reason for 'again' is because Lin Ziming had just collaborated with Lei Wenjun in Sheepback City a little over a month ago.

At that time, Lei Wenjun also arrived by helicopter to Sheepback City, conducting a survey of the iron ore owned by the Mo Family.

That cooperation was extremely smooth, and the survey results were very satisfactory. The rabbits found a high-quality medium-sized iron deposit.

However, compared to the spirited appearance he had in Sheepback City, Lei Wenjun's face now showed an unfading fatigue.

He had been leading a team on exploration tasks for more than a month, discovering several potential mining sources of various sizes for the rabbits.

During this period, in order to save time.

They ate emergency food, slept in car-mounted sleeping bags, and only bathed once every three or four days.

It could truly be said they ate in the wind and slept in the open.

In fact, the command center did not have excessively strict demands on the geological survey team. After all, exploration often relies on luck; you cannot decide where rich deposits are.

But while the command center had no substantive demands, the internal thinking of Lei Wenjun's team was different.

They were well aware of the resource gap on their native side in the Damo Realm, knowing that to secure a foothold in Damo Realm, achieving self-sufficiency was essential.

Therefore, all sixteen members of the team, regardless of age or gender, have been risking their lives for exploration during this period.

Today, while Lei Wenjun was leading his team in exploring a suspected copper mine area, he received a message from Lin Li, learning that there was a deep pit in Qian Gu Mountain that required his assistance.

Lei Wenjun didn't explain his physical state, and rushed to coordinate some key matters with other members, then took the helicopter to Qian Gu Mountain.

On the temporary helipad, Lei Wenjun suppressed the urge to yawn and shook hands with Lin Ziming:

"Colonel Lin, please take care of everything this time as well."

After letting go, Lin Li noticed the bloodshot eyes of Lei Wenjun and frowned:

"Director Lei, your eyes are...."

Lei Wenjun quickly waved his hand:

"Oh, just didn't sleep well for a few days, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

Colonel Lin, I brought the equipment this time, where is that deep pit?"

Lin Ziming didn't answer him, instead, he grabbed Lei Wenjun's wrist.

Initially, Lei Wenjun thought Lin Ziming was going to check his hand for injuries, or maybe he had learned some palm-reading magic, so he allowed him to do as he pleased.

However, after a while, Lei Wenjun began to sense that something was off.

An extremely warm and enduring energy slowly flowed into his body from his wrist.

First the waist and abdomen, then the heart, and finally reaching the brain.

How should I say, it was a bit like inhaling native red soil incense, but the substantial feeling was several times stronger than red soil incense.

With the immersion of this energy, Lei Wenjun found that his previous physical fatigue was gradually disappearing.

He suddenly realized something, quickly pressing down on Lin Ziming's hand:

"Colonel Lin, what are you doing... let go, hurry! That's the spiritual power you've painstakingly refined!"

Immediately, Lei Wenjun, like a friend trying to grab the bill at the restaurant front desk, was shaking Lin Ziming's wrist, desperately trying to pull the other's hand away.

But at this moment, Lin Ziming, already a Third-Layer Qi Cultivator, had his physique greatly enhanced compared to before. How could Lei Wenjun outmatch him?

Thus, he could only stop him with words, while watching Lin Ziming channel spiritual power into his body.

After about a few minutes, Lin Ziming finally let go.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and neck, saying to Lei Wenjun:

"Director Lei, do you feel better now? Transferring spiritual energy can only temporarily alleviate your fatigue. You should take a good rest after this mission."

Although Lin Ziming did not master the pulse-taking technique, as a Cultivator, sensing the state within someone else's body through spiritual power was quite simple.

Especially for an official Cultivator with ample resources like him, whose foundation is exceedingly solid, the sensory utilization of spiritual energy is not weaker than that of normal Qi Cultivation Fourth and Fifth Layers.

The only difference is that it hasn't developed any divine sense.

Therefore, the moment Lin Ziming grabbed Lei Wenjun's wrist, he noticed that the other's body was already on the verge of exhaustion.

Although it wasn't to the extent of an immediate sudden death, if he kept pushing himself, no one could say for sure what would happen.

It's like reaching a red line; any further, and it would be running on empty.

However, Lin Ziming knew Lei Wenjun's character.

Unless you knock him unconscious, there's no way a practical person like him would agree to rest at such a critical moment.

He would definitely push himself to complete the task.

Because it's not just Lei Wenjun; Lin Ziming—or rather, the majority of the members of Fire Camp—are like this.

You could say it's out of some political awareness, but that's not necessarily the case. If you asked Lei Wenjun to speak about national righteousness or patriotism, he might not be able to utter a single word.

In fact, the authorities have never mistreated everyone who came to the Damo Realm; the supplies are actually in ample supply.

But from the core like Qin Zhendong to the frontline personnel like Lin Li and Lei Wenjun, everyone voluntarily saves where they can and makes the most of their time.

When asked why, they all say, "It's out of habit to be frugal,"

Actually, expecting someone to save one pill or stay up late night to have substantial progress for the camp is essentially an impossible proposition, an unrealistic fantasy.

Do Lei Wenjun and the others not understand this?

The answer is obviously no.

Yet they still do it. This is the reason why the spirit of the Huaxia nation has endured—because we have countless Lei Wenjuns, countless Qin Zhendongs, countless small forces coming together to shake the world.

This is a spirit deeply inscribed in the soul of every Huaxia person, an unextinguishable flame.

So Lin Ziming did not persuade Lei Wenjun to rest.

Instead, he silently passed his own fire to Lei Wenjun, becoming one of the countless himself.

Spiritual energy is a kind of alpha substance, and the spiritual power refined by cultivators is even more special.

Especially when it comes to issues involving essence, energy, and spirit, spiritual power can easily compensate for such losses.

The lower the realm, the better this compensatory effect.

Therefore, with Lin Ziming's aid, Lei Wenjun's condition immediately improved significantly.

What Lin Ziming gave was a half-empty inner sea—even though it did not harm his foundation, his cultivation progress would be severely delayed during this period.

Patriarch Wei, watching this scene, suddenly felt an extremely strange sensation in his heart.

He suddenly realized that these 'family' members he had were becoming somewhat hard to understand.

Why would someone expend most of their meticulously refined spiritual power on an ordinary person, just for a word—comrade?

Why would Lin Ziming still smile after doing such a thing?

But on the other hand, Patriarch Wei also felt some envy.

Because such situations were very rare in the Damo Realm, apart from kinship, only a very few confidants might do such a thing.

Patriarch Wei dare not claim more than three cultivators in this world willing to do the same for him, and none of them are anything but life-and-death friends.

However, it was evident that Lin Ziming and Lei Wenjun's relationship had not reached such a level; they didn't even use the Huaxia people's common "Old X" address, only respectfully addressing each other's positions.

Under these circumstances, Lin Ziming actually made such a sacrifice for Lei Wenjun?

Patriarch Wei suddenly found his brain, which had developed to over 14%, somewhat inadequate.

The doubt in Patriarch Wei's heart was unknown to Lin Ziming. At this moment, he was smiling and explaining to Lei Wenjun:

"Old Lei, don't worry, I'm fine. My spiritual power will come back after a few rounds of meditation."

With Lin Ziming's cheerful smile, even Lei Wenjun, who hadn't yet started nurturing spirit, truly believed he had only paid a simple price:

"Alright, Old Lin, after we return to the camp, I'll treat you to a drink!"

Then, with a serious expression, he pointed to the equipment that had already been transported down next to him and said:

"Old Lin, back to business, shall we head into the cave now?"

Hearing this, Lin Ziming gave Lei Wenjun a hearty slap on the shoulder:

"Alright, since you're here as the expert support, let's go see what this pit is all about!"
