Dantian has a little field

"Master Lin, this is my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want to kill me, just kill me and let the others go!"

The burly middle-aged man's expression changed several times, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Xu. 【】

"Kill you? When did I say I was going to kill you?"

A smile appeared on Lin Xu's lips, and with a flick of his hand, the burly middle-aged man felt an irresistible force acting on him, and he stood up involuntarily.

"If I wanted your lives, you would have been a pile of corpses long ago. I am indeed an immortal cultivator from the Sword God Sect, but I am not the same group as those guys outside. Okay, it's the same problem as before, you are not immortal cultivators , What do you need spiritual crystals for?”

Seeing that Lin Xu didn't look like he was faking it, the miners relaxed a little. The white-haired old man glanced at everyone, saluted Lin Xu, and said, "Master Lin, I'll call you Elder Long Si." , the thing is like this..."

From Elder Long's narrative, Lin Xu had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the situation at Yunmeng Ling Mine.

The miners in the Yunmeng Spiritual Mine are all martial arts people who venture into the Yunmeng Wasteland. The reason is that there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that there are treasures in the Yunmeng Wasteland that allow warriors to cultivate spiritual roots. These warriors enter Yunmeng Wasteland. In the wasteland, when you come to the Yunmeng Ling Mine, you will be caught as a miner mining spiritual stones.

When these warriors are mining spiritual stones, they will occasionally secretly hide one or two spiritual stones. If they are not discovered by luck, they will use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritual stones to temper their bodies. Although this can absorb less spiritual energy There is no one out of ten, but for warriors, it is the only way to condense spiritual roots. If you are lucky enough, you can indeed condense spiritual roots the day after tomorrow. Of course, the properties of the spiritual roots are not much better, but at least they can have the ability to cultivate immortals. Qualification, reaching the first level of Qi refining stage.

Those who are lucky enough to reach the first level of Qi Refining Stage have two choices. They can either swear an oath to never spread the news about the Yunmeng Ling Mine and leave, or they can stay in the Yunmen Ling Mine and become a manager of the Ling Mine. One of the cultivators of the mine.

The burly middle-aged man who dug up the spiritual crystal before was named Liang Kuan. His martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of innate perfection. With this middle-grade spiritual crystal, he is half sure that he will be able to condense his spiritual roots and step into the realm of refining. Qi Stage 1, so he took the risk to hide the spiritual crystal in his belly.

In the Yunmeng Ling Mine, if the miners' private possession of spiritual stones and crystals are discovered, they will definitely be sentenced to death. However, for the sake of the glimmer of hope of becoming immortal cultivators, or to leave, the miners are willing to take risks.

"How is the yield of spirit stones in this Yunmeng spirit mine?"

"Master Hui Lin, generally speaking, there are no less than 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones and 30,000 medium-grade spiritual stones produced every year. From time to time, low-grade and medium-grade spiritual crystals are unearthed."

"so much?"

Lin Xu was very surprised by what Mr. Long said. The Yunmeng Ling Mine only delivers more than 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones to the Sword Spirit Sect every year, which is less than one-tenth of the output, and there have never been any spiritual crystals. Turned in.

With so many spiritual stones and crystals, in addition to being divided up by the monks in the mining area, I am afraid that most of them have gone into the hands of Nie Yun. No wonder the three mine supervisors before Lin Xu died in mysterious circumstances, probably because of the discovery. This is the reason why people will be silenced!

"Your name is Liang Kuan, right? Give me that middle-grade spiritual crystal. It's hard to fool those guys outside like this. Don't lose your life in vain!"

Although Liang Kuan obediently dug out the spiritual crystal from his lower abdomen, he still looked extremely reluctant to give it up.

Lin Xu waved his hand, and a clear spring appeared out of thin air, washing away the blood on the spiritual crystal in Liang Kuan's hand. Then he reached out and sucked the spiritual crystal over and put it into the storage bag.

"Don't worry, I won't covet this spiritual crystal of yours. I'll keep it for you for the time being. After the matters in the mining area are settled, I can personally help you absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone and condense the spiritual roots."

As Lin Xu spoke, he waved his hand and released the [Hydrotherapy Technique]. Liang Kuan only felt a numbness and itching at the wound in his lower abdomen. Within a moment, it recovered as before, and he didn't look injured at all.

"Thank you, Master Immortal!"

Liang Kuan was overjoyed and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Lin Xu: "Don't be too hasty to thank me yet. I still have something to ask for your help. I will definitely not treat you badly when I succeed. I can give it to each of you every month." A low-grade spiritual stone to teach you how to absorb and utilize it."

Xuantian Baojian contains a method of tempering the physical body using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Lin Xu only needs to simplify it and pass it on to these miners. Their efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy and tempering will naturally be greatly improved, and the success rate of condensing spiritual roots will naturally be improved. will increase.

"Thank you so much, Master Immortal. Master Immortal has his orders, and we will obey them no matter what, even if we are broken into pieces, we will not hesitate!"

Mr. Long and Liang Kuan immediately took the lead and knelt down, and the other miners also knelt down and kowtowed. After Lin Xu bowed to them a few times, he waved his hand and sent out a strong wind to help everyone up, and asked Mr. Long: "Mr. Long, You just said that monsters appear in this mine from time to time, is this true?"

"Hui Xianshi, this is absolutely true! And I know that there are monsters in a mine not far from here. Of the few people I saw at that time, only A Kuan escaped by chance."

"oh?"

Seeing Lin Xu turning his gaze towards him, Liang Kuan hurriedly replied respectfully: "Master Immortal, Mr. Long is right. It is deep in the mine adjacent to this mine. I walked the furthest back that day, so I went there." I escaped for a while, but the monsters didn’t chase me out, so I was lucky enough to escape with my life!”

"A Kuan, take me to that mine tunnel and have a look!"

Seeing Liang Kuan's hesitation, Lin Xu smiled: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you!"

Liang Kuan finally gave up his worries and led Lin Xu through several forked roads to a mine tunnel: "Master Immortal, the monster is in this mine. There are no forked roads inside. Look at me... "

"Okay, just wait here, I'll go in and take a look myself!"

Ordinary warriors basically have no ability to resist in front of monsters, and now they are not sure what level of monsters are in the mine tunnels. It is a burden to bring Liang Kuan with him. Lin Xu patted Liang Kuan on the shoulder and asked him to stay in the original place. Waiting on the ground, he used [Water Invisibility Technique] to hide his figure and moved towards the mine.

After about a few hundred meters, Lin Xulu felt something moving, and slowly stretched out his consciousness to explore the front.

About fifty meters ahead, the mine tunnel connected to a huge underground cave, in which two monster beasts that looked like pangolins were swimming.

"A monster in the foundation-building stage!"

Lin Xu was shocked. The auras of these two demonic beasts were between those of the tenth-level Dzogchen in the Qi Refining Stage and those of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. They were extremely powerful. Even if they faced each other, they would probably have to run for their lives.

Withdrawing his consciousness, Lin Xu retreated along the original path and returned to the mine space with Liang Kuan.

"You should work as you should these days. Don't hide the spiritual stones secretly anymore. Wait for my instructions!"

After explaining to Mr. Long and others, Lin Xu came out of the mine. The monk guarding the entrance of the mine had been replaced. Like the two before, they were eating, drinking and chatting.

Without alerting them, Lin Xu walked towards the mine management office and showed his figure at the door.

"Stop, who are you?"

Lin Xu's sudden appearance shocked the guards at the management office, and everyone in the room was also frightened and ran out one after another.

"My name is Lin Xu, who is in charge here?"

Lin Xu glanced at everyone and asked.

"Lin Xu? Are you Lin Mine Supervisor?"

A short, fat monk who was gorgeously dressed and at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage pushed through the crowd and walked out.

"Yes, I am the new mine supervisor. Who are you?"

Lin Xu glanced at the short and fat monk. In fact, he already knew from the mouths of Mr. Long and others that this short and fat monk was Guan Zhen, the mine administrator of Yunmenling Mine, and the two people beside him were from Yunmenling Mine. Two deputy stewards, he just said this because he didn't want to make Guan Zhen suspicious.

"Master Mine Supervisor, my name is Guan Zhen, and I am the mine administrator here. These are my two deputies, Zhang Ping and Yu Tian."

The short and fat monk made the introduction with a smile on his face, and then shouted to everyone with a serious look on his face: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? You haven't seen the mine supervisor yet!"

"I've met the mine supervisor!"

Lin Xu waved his hand: "Okay, tell me about the situation in the mining area!"

"Mr. Mine Supervisor, don't worry. You have come a thousand miles away, and I have to pick you up first! Come here, hurry up and buy a banquet!"

Lin Xu rolled his eyes and did not refuse. If he acted too coldly, Guan Zhen and others would become suspicious.

At the banquet, Guan Zhen, Zhang Ping and others naturally paid a lot of compliments to Lin Xu, and Lin Xu also suppressed the disgust in his heart and made excuses with them.

The Yunmeng Ling Mine described by Guan Zhen and others is completely different from what Long Lao and others said. In their words, the Yunmeng Ling Mine is a poor ore vein. Not many spiritual stones can be dug out all year round, and basically Most of them are low-grade spiritual stones, and very few have medium-grade spiritual stones.

Except for the normal cultivation expenses of these spiritual stones produced, all the rest were handed over to the sect.

"Oh? In this case, the conditions in this Yunmenling Mine are indeed quite difficult. Thank you for your hard work. I would like to give you a toast, Lin, and I hope you will support me in the future!"

Lin Xu raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp. He never mentioned the accidental death of the three mine supervisors in advance, nor did he propose to inspect the mining area or audit the accounts. After the banquet, he moved directly into the mine supervisor's house.

"Senior Brother Guan, this Lin Xu has really never seen much of the world. We fooled him in just a few words. It seems that Senior Uncle Nie is really too nervous about him!"

After sending Lin Xu to the mine supervisor's house, Guan Zhen and the others returned to Guan Zhen's residence to discuss. Zhang Ping's tone when he mentioned Lin Xu was full of disdain.

"Don't be careless. Let's observe it for a while first. If this kid doesn't care about our affairs, we don't really need to embarrass him. Otherwise, we will follow what Uncle Nie said and make him walk away with nothing to eat!"
