"That's what I said, but recently the sect has increased the monthly share of the Flame Scale Mine. The mine is short of manpower. If someone dies here and the supervisors find out, there will definitely be trouble." Brother Mei persuaded.

The long-haired male cultivator frowned, cursed again, and then ordered the guarding disciple of the Qi Refining Period who was also watching the battle below with interest to go down immediately and use a magic weapon to capture the Skin Lizard back into the cage.

"Speaking of this, what's going on in the Western Region? Didn't you say it was still chaotic a few years ago? Several major sects were fighting endlessly. Why are they now unanimously open to the outside world?" The fat monk asked with some confusion.

"Who knows! But, those Rong people are all uncivilized savages. We didn't bother to care about them before they bowed their heads. Now they dare to bare their teeth at our Qin Dynasty. I'm afraid they are crazy. Let me see, if you don't care about them anymore, Soon, there will probably be a lot of Rong people coming to the mine. Then we will set up a gambling game to see what is so special about them." The long-haired male cultivator rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

At this moment, the thin-browed monk suddenly turned his head to look to the side and said hello to the corner.

"Hey, I remember that you are from Southern Xinjiang. Let's talk about it. Which one is more powerful, you Southern Xinjiang people or Beirong people?"

Hearing this, Wulu, who was holding a wine jar in the corner, stepped forward with a flattering smile and answered:

"Reporting to Lord Gong, of course we Southern Xinjiang people are more powerful."

"Oh, in that case, I will let you go up and fight with the soldiers to see if what you said is the truth." The long-haired male cultivator said after hearing this.

"Hey, Master Gong, please don't embarrass me. With my level as a three-legged cat, just anyone can get rid of me. Then there will be no one to pour this spiritual wine for these adults." Wulu said with a bitter smile.

"Haha, you naughty boy, okay, come up and fill the cup, and then get out." The long-haired male cultivator laughed twice and waved his hand.

Wulu hurriedly stepped forward and filled several people with spiritual wine with skillful skills. However, when he turned around and left, a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed across his face.

At this moment, a familiar yet surprising voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Brother Wulu is lurking here and is so willing to compromise. I wonder if he is eyeing something good this time?"

Hearing this voice, Wulu's heart was excited. Yuan Ming's appearance flashed in his mind. He subconsciously raised his head and looked around, but did not find Yuan Ming's figure.

He quickly realized his situation, hurriedly covered up the surprised look on his face, walked quickly back to the corner, put down the wine jar, and stood with his hands down honestly.

At the same time, he also said silently in his mind: "Brother Yuan? Are you transmitting messages to me through your soul? When did you learn such a secret technique?"

"You and I have been apart for so long, how can I not make any progress? It's just that Brother Wulu was still living happily in the East China Sea before, so why is he here again now and acting as a mining slave again?" Yuan Ming continued through the soul crow transformed by the split soul. asked.

"Well, the specific reason is a long story, and it's not convenient for me to reveal too much. Brother Yuan, it's better not to ask any more questions. However, Brother Yuan, you are here, don't you mean..." Ulu mumbled a few words to change the subject. road.

"Haha, brother Wulu, don't worry that I'm not trapped. I'm still free at this moment. I came here for some private matters, and I wanted to save the mine slaves here from the fire and water. Unexpectedly, I happened to run into you. But I saw Wu Brother Lu is here, so my plan may have to be delayed for a while, so as not to disturb Brother Wulu's layout." Yuan Ming said half-truthfully.

Hearing this, Wu Lu replied with a clear sense of justice: "Liberate the mining slaves here? Haha, brother Yuan is really a role model for our generation of immortals. This move can save hundreds of monks from suffering. How can I delay it alone?" Brother, just go ahead and do it, don’t mind me.”

When Yuan Ming heard this, he smiled knowingly, and immediately understood that Wulu was not as easy as he seemed, and there must have been some unexpected change in this ambush.

However, he did not point it out, but invited: "In that case, why don't you, Brother Wulu, also contribute and help me rescue all the mining slaves from this place?"

Wulu pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, but I wonder if Brother Yuan can deal with the alchemy monks stationed here?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own plan. Brother Wulu, I think you need to serve the foundation-building monks here now, and you will be contacted to take action in the future. Do you want me to help you find an opportunity to escape?" Yuan Ming asked.

"No need, I can sneak out to discuss the plan with you." Ulu said.

"Okay, when Brother Wulu finds an opportunity, he can go find a monk named Zuo Qinghui among the mine slaves. He is my subordinate. Now he is pretending to be arrested and hiding in the mine. You can discuss the specific plan with him. "Yuan Ming continued.

Wulu waited for a moment and found that Yuan Ming was no longer talking, so he silently wrote down the name "Zuo Qinghui" and at the same time silently planned his plan in his heart.

On the other side, after talking to Ulu, the soul crow flew out of the arena and explored the structure of the entire mine.

What he and Wulu said about liberating the mining slaves here was not an empty lie. Anyone who believed in, appreciated, and worshiped him could provide him with the will. There are so many mining slaves in the mine now. If they can give a little guidance and help, they will be killed by one of them. If the DPRK is liberated, one will surely gain a considerable amount of income from one's willpower.

With his current strength, and with the help of other mine slaves, it is not difficult to deal with the foundation-building monks here. The only problem is Elder Hai, the pill-forming monk sitting here.

The soul crow flew around the mine, and Yuan Ming had already sketched out the topographic map of this place in his mind.

The mine has an elliptical structure as a whole, and can be roughly divided into four areas, namely the residence of Guiyuan Sect monks in the east, the residence of monks and slaves in the south, the residence of mortal slaves in the north, and the largest area in the west. mine distribution points.

In addition to the flame scale ore, the ores produced here are some ordinary ores that are mined by the mortal mine slaves.

Regarding the management of mortals, the Guiyuan Sect monks did not pay much attention to it. Most of the affairs were handed over to mortals who were willing to take refuge, leaving only a few Qi Refining monks in charge of general management.

If a riot were to start, these mortals would undoubtedly be of little use, but as one of the important sources of willpower, Yuan Ming would not ignore them.

Unlike ordinary people, Guiyuan Sect's management of monks is relatively strict. In addition to using magic weapons to suppress the magic power in the body, there are also monk supervisors leading the team when going to the mines. There are also several foundation-building monks in the dormitory area every night who are responsible for patrolling and guarding.

The only way out of the entire mine to the outside world is located on the east side of the residence of the Guiyuan Sect monks. If the mine slaves want to escape, they must break through the many obstacles of the Guiyuan Sect monks.

In addition, Yuan Ming also discovered that the layout of the entire mine building seemed to be arranged according to a certain formation pattern.

Through analysis, he deduced the location of several nodes of this formation, and then controlled the split soul to transform into a soul crow and followed the clues to find it. Sure enough, he found a gray-white stone pillar under a stone wall deep in the mine.

Later, he found several similar formation nodes and wrote down the locations one by one. After some calculation, he set his sights on the four-story building in the center of the mine.

As the residence of the "Alchemy Monk" with the highest cultivation level in this mine, this high-rise building is obviously covered by a rather mysterious formation.

However, Yuan Ming's split soul is essentially just a ball of condensed soul power. Unless it is a formation that specializes in shielding the power of the soul, he will not be affected by any formation.

The soul crow flew into the tall building without any hindrance, but after searching up and down for several times, it did not find the figure of Elder Hai or anything else suspicious in the building.

This puzzled him.

When the split soul first arrived here during the day, he noticed that there were people on the building looking at the mine, but now there was no one in the building.

However, as this place is the residence of the alchemy monks, Yuan Ming does not think that any disciples will break in at will.

With a trace of doubt, he carefully searched the corners of the building again, and finally found a secret door behind the stairs on the first floor that led directly to the underground.

The soul crow immediately flew into the door, crossed a section of stairs going down, and suddenly opened up before his eyes.

This is a spacious room. There are large and small porcelain bottles and pottery jars placed on the stone tables on both sides. Some of them contain unknown elixirs, and there are also some transparent or translucent bottles that contain some kind of peculiar smell. of weird liquid.

The entire room was kept spotless, with no trace of blood or dust visible. However, on the stone platform in the center of the room, there lay a dark corpse that had been disemboweled.

The blood in his body seemed to be bound by some special magic and did not flow out, and through the huge knife incision on the corpse's chest, the internal organs inside could be clearly seen.

The lungs contracted and expanded, and the heart beat "plop" and "plop" again and again. Only then did Yuan Ming discover to his surprise that this "corpse" was actually still alive.

However, there was no light in the "corpse's" eyes. It was obvious that long-term torture had made his soul miserable and he had lost his desire for life.

Soul Crow looked at the face of the "corpse", glanced at his shoulder, and found a red tiger head tattoo engraved there.

Yuan Ming's heart stirred, and he instantly recalled that this person was Mu Li who had gone on a mission with him when he was in Biluo Cave?

After the Biluo Cave was destroyed by the Poxia Alliance, all its disciples were captured by Poxiao. Unexpectedly, they were sold here and suffered such cruel treatment.

Yuan Ming sighed in his heart, thinking of getting to know each other, and couldn't bear what happened to him, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to help him get rid of it completely.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from far and near outside the door, which shocked him slightly.

Not long after, with a slight "squeak" sound, a door deep in the room was pushed open.
