Lingyun Mountain is in the southeast corner of Heiyun City. Lingyun Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually composed of several mountains of varying heights.

The main peak is the mountain of the clouds, thousands of meters high, towering into the clouds, and spiritual energy lingered.

The surrounding hills are much lower than Lingyun Mountain.

Because of the rich spiritual energy around Lingyun Mountain, the surrounding mountains are all strange.

Some mountains have been planted by Lingyun Sect with many spiritual herbs, and are protected by disciples of Lingyun Sect.

Some peaks also have higher spiritual materials inside, and this type of peak is also mined by disciples of Lingyun Sect.

The Nie family’s peak of the fire cloud stone was actually the most inconspicuous among the many hills around Lingyun Mountain.

Nie Tian and Nie Xi came to the Nie family to dig the mountain peak of the fire cloud stone in the afternoon.

"Miss, it's not time to count the fire marble again, why did you suddenly come?" At the entrance of the mountain mine cave, Nie Xiang, a manager of the Nie family, looked at Nie Qian with a child curiously, and felt suspicious.

"This trip is not to count the fire marbles, but to take my nephew to the mine to see the world." Nie Xi said with a smile.

"Come to the mine to see the world?" Nie Xiang was stunned, becoming more and more strange.

Because the mine is not safe, only children who have made big mistakes in the Nie family will be sent to the mine.

Nie Xi brought Nie Tian here and said that he wanted to take him to see the world, which made Nie Xiang very puzzled.

Nie Xi did not explain too much. After saying hello to Nie Xiang, he pulled Nie Tian and walked straight to the mine.

"Miss, this child... is still too young. If there is any accident in the mine, I will not be responsible." Nie Xiang said hurriedly.

"Well, if there is anything, I'll be responsible." Nie Xi said.

After hearing what she said, Nie Xiang stopped talking and allowed Nie Tian and Nie Xi to go deep into the mine.

In the mine cave, Nie Tian looked around curiously, "Is Fire Cloud Stone the here?"

"Depth in the mine." Nie Xi took a breath, his eyes showing worries, "You remember, be obedient and always follow me. Because of excessive mining, many places inside the mine are hollow, and sometimes collapse with the vibration of the earth. I know where to be safe and where there is danger, and you are not allowed to leave me."

Nie Tian looked up and looked at the prism-shaped stones hanging on the cave wall five or six meters above his head, and nodded quickly.

Those stones weigh more than a thousand pounds. If they really fall down, they will probably turn into meat pies in an instant.

"Come with me."

Nie Xi grabbed his arm and took him to the dark stone path inside.

Nie Tian looked around curiously, following silently, seemingly cautious and cautious.

"Hello Miss, why are you here?"

"Miss, be careful, it's not safe inside, it just collapsed a few days ago."

"I've met the young lady."

Along the way, many of the Nie family's side tribesmen and some of the workers hired by the Nie family greeted Nie Xi respectfully after seeing Nie Xi.

Nie Xi nodded with a smile to everyone, urging them to be careful and never have an accident.

Nie Tian could see that those who mined firewood in the mine seemed to be sincerely respecting Nie Xi.

"The people who mine fire marble in the mine are all miserable people. Every time they come in, they know what they will face." When there is no one, Nie Xi sighed softly and said, "Xiaotian, if you cannot be accepted by Lingyun Sect, you may be appointed by your second grandfather to mine fire marble here after you are fifteen years old."

"Isn't it only the Nie family's side branches that are arranged to this end?" Nie Tian said.

"This was the case before, but it may not be the case in the future." Nie Qian shook her head and said with a gloomy expression: "There is a lot of mortality in the mine cave, and people are buried here every once in a while. The main task of the Nie family is actually to help Lingyun Sect mine fire cloud stone. Other family affairs are not as important as this."

"In recent years, the fire rocks on the periphery have been mined and can only continue to dig deeper, so it is becoming more and more dangerous."

"The elders of the tribe who are in the tribe have tried every means to prevent their children and grandchildren from coming to the mine."

"But this is the foundation of the Nie family. People are afraid of death. The laborers hired by the family are unwilling to mine deeper without the clan members. However, we need to pay a sufficient amount of fire cloud stone to Lingyun Sect every year. If there is a shortage of them in that year, Lingyun Sect may not be able to value the Nie family."

"It is actually difficult for the Nie family to gain a foothold in Heiyun City without the protection of Lingyun Sect."

"Therefore, the mine cave is the top priority of the family. No matter when, the mine cave needs tribe members to guard it. Now your second grandfather is in power, and he also said that he would reform, and the direct tribe members will be arranged here in the future."

At this point, Nie Xi paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "Because your grandfather lost power in the clan and before he gave up his position as the clan leader, I began to come to the mine often. Now we are even weaker. If you fail to become a disciple of Lingyun Sect, you will definitely not be able to escape in the future and will definitely be arranged here."

Nie Tian lowered his head and thought about it seriously, then nodded slightly, "I understand."

"Let's go." Nie Xi continued to go deeper.

After a while, Nie Tian found that the stone path leading to the abdomen of the mountain became narrower and narrower, and the distance between the top of his head and the stone wall was shorter and shorter.

He also noticed that the number of workers he saw on the way was getting smaller and smaller, each of whom was as thin as a fire and his face was lifeless.

"Miss, it's dangerous ahead, you'd better not move forward." A thin black and middle-aged man suddenly emerged from the corner of another stone path and kindly reminded: "Mine Cave No. 73, eight days ago, collapsed once, and two people died, so we cleaned it up."

Nie Xi stopped immediately. She hesitated for a while with a serious expression, and then said, "Thank you for your reminder. I'll go and check it out, and I'll go back later."

"Then be careful, I... won't be with you anymore." The man said in fear.

"Oh, you're busy with yours." Nie Xi nodded, and the thin man disappeared in an instant.

"The more you go, the higher the mortality rate, so the workers here are all dead because they don't know when the disaster will come." Nie Xi was silent for a while and said again: "They are all miserable people in Heiyun City. They took the risk to come here for their wife and children in the city."

"The qi refiners of Lingyun Sect are very powerful. If they come here, even if the mine collapses, there should be no trouble, right?" Nie Tian asked.

"If you reach the Zhongtian realm, you can run rampant in the mine cave. You are absolutely not afraid of collapse and sudden changes in the mine cave." Nie Qian nodded slightly and then said again: "However, how can a Qi refiner who has reached the Zhongtian realm waste time for the low-priced fourth-grade Fire Cloud Stone?"

"The powerful Qi Refiner is the most ruthless!"

"In their eyes, the Nie family is nothing. If some people die, they will not take them seriously at all, let alone these miserable mortals hired by the Nie family?"

"A true Qi Refiner is a noble family. A family like our Nie family can only serve them."

"Similarly, the mortals in Heiyun City serve our Nie family."

"This world is so cruel, and you and I have no power to change. There is only one way to surpass others, not be enslaved by them, and not control life and death by them."

"That's to be part of them!"

Nee Xi taught in succession.

Nie Tian's face was solemn and he focused his attention, "I will definitely become a powerful Qi Refiner!"

"Let's go to Mine No. 73!" Nie Xi also made up his mind.

Not long after, Nie Tian appeared in a huge mine under her leadership.

As soon as he entered it, he noticed that there were red light spots flashing slightly on the stone walls around the mine cave.

"Fire Cloud Stone!" Nie Tian was excited.

"This place is dangerous, don't waste time. Try to use that animal bone to absorb the flame power in the unmined fire cloud stone! It is best not to stay for a long time. Once the blood in the animal bone coagulates, leave immediately to avoid a change if it is late!" Nie Xi urged loudly.

"Okay!" Nie Tian immediately started to take action.
