The spirit stone veins are so hard that they cannot be broken down with a pickaxe alone.

Only monks with the help of spiritual power can use sharp tools to cut off the raw ore bit by bit.

Therefore, ordinary people are not capable of mining.

However, there are only one or two hundred monks in the Black City, and less than half of them are willing to work in the mines, so there is always a shortage of manpower in the mines.

As a monk, Su Xing, he sneaked in effortlessly.

According to the regulations of the city lord's palace.

Wages are paid in the mine on the basis of more reward for more work. Every time a monk digs out a piece of raw ore, his monthly salary will increase slightly.

If this were the term Su Xing used before his time travel, it would be a piece-rate system.

Although the piece-rate work is hard, most of the monks in the mines are nearing the end of their lives and come here to work in order to buy life-span medicine.

Therefore, they almost never goof off and play around at work.

In order to buy life-sustaining medicine to extend their lives, these people will work from morning until dark, living like cattle and horses all day long...

They all dream of raising their wages.

Or, the price of longevity medicine can be lowered.

In this way, Su Xing, as a life-span medicine dealer, is nothing less than a savior to these people.

In the mine, Su Xing is the god of medicine because his medicine is cheap enough.

The spiritual stones of the monks are all earned through hard work.

Since Su Xing has a cheaper life-span medicine, why not buy his?

…

In the first three days after entering the mine, Su Xing kept to himself and prioritized getting familiar with the environment and establishing good relationships with others.

But on the fourth day, Su Xing began to have seizures.

In the mine.

Su Xing looked around and saw that not many people noticed him, so he carefully approached the target he had selected long ago.

Su Xing lowered his voice, as if he were a thief: "Fellow Taoist, do you want life-span medicine? I'll sell it to you cheaply."

"How many?"

As soon as he heard that Su Xing was selling longevity medicine, the monk immediately became interested and did not have any doubts in his heart.

Because there are far more drug dealers in the black city than Su Xing...

Corruption has existed since ancient times and is something that cannot be eradicated.

This black city is no exception.

Some high-level monks who work in the city lord's palace, as well as noble heavenly beings, will have more or less opportunities to come into contact with life-span medicine.

The key is.

Because of their noble status, even if these people are caught doing bad things, there will be no serious consequences.

At most, they will just be transferred to other positions.

Then it seems logical that these people would take some of the life-span medicine distributed by heaven and put it into their own pockets.

The gods and high-level monks took it back, but due to their own identity, it was impossible for them to sell it in person.

As a result, countless "life-span medicine dealers" like Su Xing appeared in the Black City.

They act recklessly.

Even if a manager encounters him, he will choose to turn a blind eye for fear of offending the boss behind him.

The longevity medicine sold by the City Lord's Mansion is a five-spirit stone, so in order to compete with the City Lord's Mansion, the price on the black market is generally below the Four Spirit Stones.

Su Xing thought about it for a moment and said conservatively: "One of the four spirit stones?"

"Can."

The lower class monks cannot afford storage bags.

The monk escaped from his arms with four spiritual stones and handed them to Su Xing. He couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Taoist, who are you selling these for?"

Obviously.

This low-level monk also wants to help the 'big brother' behind Su Xing.

And Su Xing had already expected that this would happen.

He said with a mysterious face: "The person behind me said that he doesn't want to expose himself... but if you really want to sell, you can get the goods from me."

Is there such an operation?

After hearing what Su Xing said, the monk looked confused, obviously shocked by the sales concept that was far ahead of this era.

After hesitating for a moment, he felt that this was feasible: "How to do it specifically?"

"It's easy."

Su Xing replied: "You take the life-span medicine from me, I will give you three spiritual stones, and you sell them to others with four spiritual stones, won't you make a profit?"

"really!"

The monk had a quick mind.

After thinking about Su Xing's plan for a while, he felt that it was feasible.

But there is still one problem that remains unresolved: "But, brother, I really don't have any spiritual stones now. Can you give me a few longevity pills first, and then return the spiritual stones to you after I sell them?"

"Of course you can."

There was a hint of threat in Su Xing's tone, and he said matter-of-factly: "The whole Black City is so big, are we still afraid that you will run away?"

The monk said sincerely: "That's right, I can run away even if I want to."

The two chatted, and Su Xing took out four longevity pills from the storage bag and handed them to the other party.

"When it's sold out at any time, you can come to me at any time."

"okay!"

…

Su Xing was in a great mood after opening the sales market.

After he randomly dug up a few pieces of raw ore in the mine, he hid in a corner and sat cross-legged, silently working on his internal skills.

Unlike other monks, Su Xing obtained spiritual stones by selling life-span medicine.

He doesn't need to dig in this mine at all.

Rather than being like a cow or a horse here, it is better to seize the time to practice to improve your cultivation.

After getting off work, Su Xing handed the raw ore to the steward, received a 'spiritual light talisman' and returned to his place of stay.

There is no sunshine in the black city, and the climate is hot, so it is impossible to grow crops normally.

But there is never a shortage of food in the Black City.

Because here is rich in a food called 'crystal mushroom'.

The 'crystal mushroom' is a plant that can only be planted in a dark environment and grows extremely fast. Its appearance is like a mushroom.

They don't need anyone to take care of them, nor do they need fertilizing or watering, they can grow into large areas on their own.

The only thing that needs to be noted is that the mushroom cannot see any sunlight before it is completely mature, otherwise it will burrow into the ground and disappear.

‘Jingying Mushroom’ has a very high yield and can be sown anywhere.

Almost all of the population of nearly 100,000 people in the Black City depends on this mushroom.

But because he disliked the bad taste of this 'crystal mushroom', Su Xing almost always ate the dry food he brought with him during the few days he came to Black City...

…

This went on for about two months.

Through word of mouth spread among the monks in the mine, Su Xing's life-span medicine business grew bigger and bigger.

Not only did he develop two life-span medicine agents, but after absorbing a large amount of 'black threads' in his own cultivation, he was successfully promoted to the tenth level of Qi training.

He only needs to improve his cultivation one step further before he can be promoted to a foundation-building monk.

at the same time.

After getting acquainted with the monks in the mine, Su Xing also discovered a secret.

When the raw ore ore is cut, some spiritual power will more or less escape.

These spiritual powers can be absorbed by monks to improve their cultivation, or they can be stored in "spiritual energy bags" and sold to others in exchange for spiritual stones.

In short, these escaped spiritual powers can be regarded as the ‘wool’ in this mine.

With the availability of wool, wool-gatherers naturally emerged.

Some miners who were eager to improve their cultivation simply stopped working hard after discovering this. Instead, they repeatedly used spiritual energy to cut the veins and continuously absorbed the spiritual energy escaping from them.

This includes Su Xing.

Not only that.

While Su Xing was absorbing a newly formed mineral vein, he also discovered another strange thing:

While this mineral vein emits a large amount of spiritual energy, there is also a faint trace of 'black silk thread' emerging from it.

But the 'black thread' can only be generated by humans.
