Chapter 77: That’s troublesome for fellow Daoist Lin.(1/2)
The mine that Su Yan is talking about refers to the low-grade spiritual stone veins developed by the alliance of the three major one-star sects in Bianyun Town: "Jinglei", "Lieyang", and "Kongkong"!
This vein is divided into three mining areas. The surface layer is iron ore, which is also exposed. It is a place where mortals without cultivation come to do odd jobs. At the same time, these mined iron ores will also be used by the three major religions.
Elder Shang sells to major nearby villages and towns, so the income of the mortals working in this mine is pretty good, at least in the off-season they can get nearly a regular amount of money!
There are three types of currency for mortals: one is copper coins, each one has a purchasing power equivalent to one dollar and can only buy a few bits and pieces. There are always 100 coins, and the second is silver coins, each one has a purchasing power equivalent to 100 yuan.
To be able to buy a 60-pound bag of rice or two or three sets of reasonably good quality clothes, the same is always 100. Su Yan and Mo Yu's wages are silver coins! And a small yard like the one where Su Yan lives requires about 700 silver coins.
, or seven gold coins to buy it. It can be seen that what Su Yan said at the pavilion on the cliff that he had some assets was not a lie.
Three hundred meters to the north of the first mining area, a series of mining tunnels have been dug out. The people who come and go in the mining tunnels are all body refining warriors, or Qi refining casual cultivators. There are three elders of the three religions and gods in this second mining area.
The mining area is a treasure land rich in coal and luminous stone veins that are scarce even in the royal family!
The salary in the second mining area is not only a bunch of silver coins, but also one or two pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, which is why so many body-refining warriors and casual cultivators in the realm of qi-refining are attracted to mine.
The third mining area is even more amazing. Five kilometers to the west of the second vein, the ground there is a large semi-elliptical pit that is one thousand meters wide and nearly two hundred meters deep!
It is rumored that the supreme elders of the three major sects of "Thunder", "Lieyang" and "Kongkong" once had a shocking battle here in order to compete for this piece of spiritual stone vein. The final result is self-evident that the three parties gave up and jointly ruled this place.
.
The trace left behind by the battle at that time is this big pit!
This made many casual cultivators who came to mine spiritual stones look horrified when they saw the huge pit here.
Although Master Ji Zhu is powerful, he is not to the extent of turning mountains and seas upside down. And the supreme elders of the three religions just turned a one-kilometer piece of land into this shape after just a fight. How can this not be allowed?
Are the casual cultivators horrified that common sense says that foundation building can only break a 20-foot-long boulder weighing 10,000 pounds with one blow?
There is no need to talk too much about this pit. The point is that there are a large number of low-grade spiritual stones hidden in this big pit!
-----Dividing line-----
At this time, many disciples of the three religions and some casual cultivators were all wearing green work coats, holding a pickaxe made of dark iron in their hands, raising their arms together with all their strength, and then using all their strength to lift the dark iron pickaxe.
It was smashed towards the rocks below!
The rock wall shattered with a bang, and a piece of blue crystal was exposed!
"Oh my God!"
"What a big spiritual stone!"
"This man is so lucky!"
Many mining friends looked at the young casual cultivator who dug up the spiritual stone with great envy.
The casual cultivator also showed a happy face, and then stretched out his hand to take out the spirit stone.
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy contained in the middle-grade spiritual stone that was the size of a baby's head in his hand, the casual cultivator excitedly thought to himself:
"It's happening now!"
You must know that the mining rules and income of this third mining area are different from the other two areas. Some of the spiritual stones dug in it can be taken away by the diggers.
Of course, you can only take away 10% each time.
In other words, if you can dig out ten coins every day, you can accumulate at least 20 to 30 coins in a month!
This is more than half the monthly money that an ordinary one-star core disciple can receive every month!
However, before the casual cultivator could be happy for a few seconds, an elder of the Kongkong Sect in the middle stage of the Soul Cultivation Realm sitting on a mahogany chair in the distance raised his hand and snatched the spirit stone from his hand!
When the casual cultivator saw that his spiritual stone was taken away, he stepped on the ground and jumped into the air, reaching out to take it back!
However, another elder of the Lieyang Sect, who was sitting on a mahogany chair, pointed his finger casually, and the impact of the spiritual energy that popped up in the air made the casual cultivator fly back with a bang, but he was not injured.
Just when this casual cultivator who came to the mining area for the first time wanted to question the two elders of the three religions, the tall man with Chinese characters and thick eyebrows sitting on another mahogany chair, the elder Yangshen from Jinglei Sect, spoke like a thunderbolt.
The sound shook the entire mining area:
"All spiritual stones dug in the mining area must be turned in immediately! You can only collect them back when they reach a certain amount and the working hours are up today!"
"This,...shameless..."
It's not like the casual cultivator has never seen people who dug up spiritual stones in the mining area. Those people all put the excavated spiritual stones directly into their arms. There is no such thing as saying that they all need to be handed over immediately, but when they have to get off work.
The spirit stones were handed over for calculation and distribution at the time, but at this time, the elders of the three religions were directly grabbing them, and even used the so-called rules to cover up their selfishness. He couldn't help but make the casual cultivator of his Qi Refining Realm almost want to kill him.
He pinched the pickaxe in his hand, but even if he was angry, he would definitely not be able to fight against a strong person in the Yangshen Realm, so in the end he could only swallow the sigh of relief and continue to dig.
The nine elders of the three religions who were sitting above looked at the casual cultivator below who had dug out the middle-grade spiritual stone with anger on their faces, but they had no choice but to swallow their breath and sneered secretly.
, thought:
"It's really ridiculous that a small Qi Refining practitioner can dig out and touch the middle-grade spiritual stone with his own hands. He has already accumulated blessings in his previous life, and he still wants to take it for himself."
…
The clouds gather and disperse, and the afternoon light is bright.
After working all morning, the three of them finally took a rest and walked to the shadow of a strong tree. Su Yan spread a blue tablecloth on the ground, and then he saw that he was wearing a white vest.
A middle-aged man with gray loose trousers and a muscular body came over with a smile on his face, holding a four-layer food box.
Seeing Mo Yu's uncle coming with food, the three of them shouted:
"uncle!"
Uncle Mo Yu laughed and said:
"Oh, you guys are so sweet! Come on, let's eat!"
The three of them also smiled, and then opened the food boxes in a very pleasant atmosphere, ready to eat.
The first layer of the food box contains four bowls, four pairs of chopsticks, four soup spoons, and a rice shovel;
The second layer was full of white rice, still steaming. Uncle Mo Yu took out this layer and placed it among the tablecloths where the four people were sitting.
The third layer is divided into four grids, with carrots, cabbage, potato strips, and diced corn placed on each grid;
The fourth layer consists of four pieces of fried chicken wings, more than twenty slices of pork, and eight slices of vegetarian meat!
This meal doesn't seem like a small meal, but for four people, it's a little too much.
Fortunately, Liu Yisheng had already been able to live without food, so it didn't matter if he ate more or less. Su Yan also opened his Dantian to absorb spiritual energy, so he wasn't too hungry.
Seeing that both friends ate so little, Mo Yu, who was sharing a fried chicken wing with his mouth full of food, asked in confusion:
"Aren't you both hungry? Why don't you eat after eating so little?"
After finishing speaking, Mo Yu used chopsticks to pick up the white rice in the bowl and ate like a starving ghost.
Mo Yu's uncle was also a little confused, but he just thought that the two of them were not used to the food here, so he reminded:
"Although you are just newcomers and don't do that much work, it's better to eat more when doing this kind of physical work! Just like Xiao Yu, his uncle always feels that he is getting older and doesn't eat much when he doesn't do much work.
As a result, he had a gastrointestinal problem recently. He was lying in the hospital whining and regretting. He kept asking Xiaoyu to bring him delicious food. But his stomach can't eat greasy food now, so we brought him some food.
The past can only be light porridge, which we cannot bear to see. You two young people should also remember the lesson, otherwise you will really get into trouble and regret it later... I heard the doctor in the medical center say this
Gastrointestinal diseases are almost lifelong, and apart from becoming a cultivator to cure them, there is almost no cure."
"Thank you uncle for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."
Su Yan and Liu Yisheng nodded obediently.
Mo Yu on the side shook his head and clicked his tongue twice when he saw the two of them looking like this.
After all, Liu Yisheng is a cultivator of immortality, and Su Yan will definitely be a cultivator of immortality when he follows him in the future. This kind of gastrointestinal disease is not a problem at all, but now he responds to his uncle like a good child, which makes him feel that the two of them are really good at pretending.
.
But his uncle didn't know what he was thinking. When his uncle saw Mo Yu's uneducated look, he immediately tapped his blue and white porcelain bowl with chopsticks seriously and said:
"Don't act like you deserve a beating to your friends!"
"oh."
Mo Yu didn't care about his uncle's inexplicable teaching, he just continued to eat the rice.
Uncle Mo on the side shook his head, then smiled and said to the two of them:
"Xiaoyu has always been spoiled by his uncle, and that's why he's so presumptuous. You two, don't mind too much."
"No, no."
Liu Yisheng shook his head and shook his hands.
…
The food in the food box was quickly finished, and Uncle Mo left with the things. At this time, Mo Yu casually found a shade of tree and lay down to sleep. Liu Yisheng complained:
"Are you a pig? Go to bed after eating."
Mo Yu, who was lying on his side, turned around and looked at him, saying in a rather speechless tone:
"Do you think everyone is a cultivator who is always energetic like you? We mortals get tired easily! Especially after doing physical work, if you can't take a rest, you will definitely be sore tomorrow! You have already suffered a loss.
I'm stupid for not taking a break!"
"Yes, I didn't pay attention to rest when I first came here. After finishing a day's work, I often felt sore and uncomfortable the next day. But after I rested, I got better."
