Li Xiangdong released his Divine Sense to scan the ground beneath the crater. Discovering thick igneous rock beneath the ice and snow, he landed the spaceship on a flat patch of solid ice, stepped out of the cabin, and put the spaceship away. He decided to search the crater for any treasures before the tourists reached the summit.
Earlier, Li Xiangdong had searched online and learned that when volcanoes erupted, the magma spewed from underground and cooled in the air, often carrying a certain probability of forming various gemstones. Places like the diamond mining area in Kimberley, South Africa, and the sapphire mining area in Changle, Shandong, Hua Nation, were both former volcanic eruption zones.
If he could find a few rubies or sapphires to take home as gifts for Grandma, Mom, and his younger sister, they would surely be delighted. Although he had previously salvaged a substantial quantity of gemstones from a shipwreck, Li Xiangdong felt that digging up the raw minerals himself was much more meaningful.
