0824 Entering the Lingshi Mine in disguise

On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a deep canyon in Qixing Mountain. There are sparsely located in the canyon, and there are many narrow and narrow holes on the cliffs on both sides.

Outside the canyon, several monks came from afar with a large group of strong mortals.

The group of people walked into the canyon, and monks came out from the palace.

"Manager Hu, I'm ordered to recruit miners here." A new monk stood up from the monk named Sun Xing and stepped forward and said.

"Sun Xing, is this the miners I brought this time? Well, it looks pretty good, better than the previous group." The monk named Manager Hu looked at the miner group and nodded with satisfaction.

"Since Manager Hu is satisfied, I will hand over these people to you. Manager Hu, I will say goodbye." Sun Xing said.

"Go and go, they'll leave it to me." Manager Hu waved his hand indifferently to Sun Xing.

When Sun Xing walked away, Manager Hu turned around and carefully inspected the group of people. He found that these people were real mortals and had no space vehicles on them. He began to speak to the group of mortals in front of him.

"Let me listen. You can come to our "Tianshui Pavilion" spirit stone mine to work is a blessing that you will never be able to cultivate for several lifetimes. You will listen carefully to me. You must do your best during the six hours of work every day. If you cannot complete the basic tasks, you will be deducted depending on the situation. The reward for one silver coin every day is not so easy to get. Of course, if you exceed the task..." Manager Hu talked about the rules.

"...Don't blame me for not warning you. If you mining, just mine and don't take other things you shouldn't have. If someone dares to hide spirit stones privately, they will be executed immediately once they are discovered. Not only will you die, but all your family members, the guarantors who guarantee you to come here will lose their lives! Do you understand?" Manager Hu finally warned sternly.

"I understand." A sparse response sounded from the crowd below.

Manager Hu didn't care. He just said these things were just routine. I think these mortals couldn't make waves under the eyes of their monks.

The new miner was quickly assigned the destination. Each new miner picked up a low-grade magic weapon level mine picks, carried animal skins and mines on their backs and walked towards the designated cave. Lin Chen, wearing coarse cloth clothes, disguised as a mortal youth, also mixed in, following a young monk on the second level of Qi Refining toward the entrance of a cave.

After leaving Ziyun Kingdom, Lin Chen traveled eastward. After more than three months, he traveled 100,000 miles and traveled through seven or eight countries. During this period, he basically slept in the wild and had no time to appreciate the customs and customs on Qingyun Star.

The route he walked was the shortest route based on the cave and mine veins left by the man from Lingli on the treasure jade slip. However, the results he got along the way disappointed Lin Chen.

In this direction, he encountered two caves. However, both caves had been excavated and were now deserted. The two spirit stone veins he found had been discovered long ago and were almost exhausted by the local cultivation sect.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh. These two spiritual veins were thousands of feet deep underground, and they were actually found. The cultivators on Qingyun Star had a great ability to detect the earth veins.

Lin Chen, who was kept in the dark, didn't know that since the war three thousand years ago caused the level of Qingyun Star to decline, the cultivation materials on Qingyun Star have become increasingly scarce. In particular, the output of the most important item of the monks - the spirit stone, has dropped sharply. The Qingyun Star monk was forced to develop the technology to explore the earth veins in a crazy way. The monks who mastered this technology were respected as "Earth Master" by the monks.

The greatest depth that the most powerful earth master can detect now is about a thousand feet underground.

This led to the mining of the spirit stone mine that Lin Chen had visited before, many years ago.

The Qixingshan Spirit Stone Mine by the East Sea is the third spirit stone mine in this direction on the treasure map, and it is also the last spirit stone mine in this direction.

This spirit stone mine is occupied by the Tianshui Pavilion, the controlling sect of the Qianjiang Kingdom.

Lin Chen asked a little and found out that the spirit stone mine was mined for less than a year. According to the map, the spirit stone mine was originally buried in a depth of about 1,500 feet underground. However, an earthquake caused by a large tsunami brought some spirit stones out of the underground, which made Tianshui Pavilion pay attention to this place and designated a location to start mining.

Tianshui Pavilion chose the excavation location in the canyon because it is closer to the spirit stone here, which can save a lot of trouble.

Lin Chen came to Qianjiang Kingdom and found that the spirit stone mine here had been occupied by someone, and he was a little disappointed. With his own strength, he could not fight against Tianshui Pavilion at all. Not to mention anything else, he could not deal with the two qi-refining cultivators who were guarding the ore veins in the canyon.

During those days, Lin Chen was investigating the situation around him and thinking of ways. After comparing the map for exploration, Lin Chen discovered a situation that was very beneficial to him. That is, the main vein of the spirit stone mine was too deep from the ground, and Tianshui Pavilion could not figure out the specific situation of the spirit stone mine, so they selected the canyon site to start digging.

In fact, the underground of the canyon is basically at the tail of the ore vein. The main part of the ore vein is far outside the canyon.

Lin Chen therefore came up with a more comprehensive solution. He disguised himself as a mortal and went to the place where Tianshui Pavilion recruited miners to apply. Because if this was not the case, he would not be able to enter the canyon protected by formations.

It’s not that he can’t dig straight downwards outside the formation. But it’s easy to be noticed. It’s better to sneak into the canyon and dig horizontally from the underground towards the main part of the ore vein.

With seeds helping to restrain their breath, Lin Chen's disguise was naturally foolproof. He walked into the mine without any danger.

The narrow mine cave is very curved and has a very large slope downward, so it will roll down if you are not careful. On both sides of the mine tunnel, a luminescent stone is embedded in the cave every few dozen feet away. The luminescent stone emits a faint light, illuminating the mine tunnel.

After walking downward for about two or three thousand feet, Lin Chen probably had fallen sharply by 1,200 feet deep, the sound of a "ding-ding-dangdang" mine pickaxe hitting the rocks came in his ears.

As the miners walked down the passage, Lin Chen felt that the concentration of spiritual power in the air was getting higher and higher. When he heard the sound of the mine pickaxe hitting, a strong spiritual energy suddenly came to his face.

This spiritual energy was so strong that Lin Chen almost wanted to let go of his breath and absorb it. Fortunately, he didn't do that after all. Otherwise, he would have alarmed the guardian monks here, and the matter of stealing the spirit stone mine would have to be complicated.

The new miners soon arrived at a huge cave. The luminous stones in the cave were inlaid with plenty of light. There was a monk on the fifth floor of Qi Refining in one corner of the cave, sitting cross-legged there with his eyes closed.

There was a long table in front of the monk who closed his eyes, and the long table was filled with daily necessities.

In other parts of the cave room, there are actually many beds with quilts.

There are many small holes on the other two sides of the cave room. There are endless sounds of knocking in the cave.

"Okay, your team of people are digging here. You can choose a place to start construction on the wall of the cave, or you can enter those small caves and choose a place to start construction." The monk who sent the miners to the mine said loudly.

"This is the place where you pay the spirit stones, and it is also the place where you exchange spirit stones for food supplies. The spirit stones you pay have detailed records. After you go out, you can exchange them for silver coins. If you want to work more and earn more money, you don't have to go up every day and just rest here." said the monk who escorted the miner.

Lin Chen couldn't help but grin. Tianshui Pavilion's management of miners is really humane, and it is not as cruel as mentioned in Earth's fantasy novels.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually an unexpected thing. The little materials needed by mortals are simply not worth mentioning to monks. Isn’t it the best of both worlds to provide better conditions to miners and make them work more vigorously?

Tianshui Pavilion recruits miners without any compulsive nature. Who doesn’t work hard to earn more silver coins whenever the miners come here?
