Longevity starts with learning

Chu Mu asked again: "What kind of mine is that? Is it so evil?"

"Who knows?"

Wu Shuo waved his hand: "That thing is very evil!"

"After mining for so long, so many people died. I heard from the mine that so far, at most, more than 2,000 kilograms of mineral materials have been mined!"

"And there are not many ore veins left in that mine. It is estimated that it can be dug out in just two months..."

"When this shit is over, we can return to normal!"

"I've been on tenterhooks all day to do this. Even the mining of iron ore is about to stop. If this continues, we will all have to drink from the northwest wind!"

"I don't know how many people in the county are counting on this iron ore to boil..."

Chu Mu made a rare retort: ​​"With the current situation, it would be good to stop for a while, lest the Li family immortal notice it and cause another disaster."

After saying that, Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "In our mine, so much mineral materials flow out every month, who is taking over?"

Chu Mu had been wondering about this issue for a long time. At first, he thought it was the channel of those traveling merchants, but after recently learning the true details of this large network, this guess was completely rejected.

The reason is very simple, just because the amount of greedy ink is too great!

According to what he knew, at least 20 to 30% of the mine's output had been embezzled by interest groups in Qinghe County.

In a mine, thousands of corvees work day and night, and 20 to 30% of the annual output is exploited. Such a huge output cannot be swallowed by the small businessmen. There must be one, or even several fixed channels for digestion.

Moreover, this channel must avoid the attention of Nanshan Li family, a family that cultivates immortality.

After all, as far as he knew, whether it was the county magistrate or Li Jinghong, a thousand households, they were all caught in this web of interests.

"You know that person."

Chu Mu was surprised: "Do I know him?"

"Yes, I'm just guessing, but I shouldn't be wrong."

Wu Shuo's expression became a little more solemn: "The old man in Mingxintang you often go to is not simple."

"Although there is no direct evidence that the old man is the mastermind behind several miners, it is absolutely inseparable..."

Chu Mu's pupils shrank and his heart was shocked:

"Isn't Mr. Li a pharmacy doctor? Why is he related to the miner?"

"I also discovered it by accident. I came out of Fengyue Tower at night and passed by Mingxin Hall. I accidentally met those miners coming out of Mingxin Hall. I watched them for a long time..."

The corner of Chu Mu's mouth twitched slightly. If this is really the case, Wu Shuo is still alive, then he is really lucky!

Secretly checking up on a cultivator?

Fortunately, Mr. Li is not a person who regards human life as nothing, otherwise, Wu Shuo has eight heads, which may not be enough to lose!

Immediately, Chu Mu suddenly understood, so... Mr. Li stayed in Nanshan Town for so many years because of this iron mine?

Purchasing a large amount of smuggled mineral materials and selling them to the world of immortality?

Chu Mu pursed his lips. He suddenly realized that in this era, the world of immortality may have a much deeper control over the secular world than he imagined.

An ordinary iron mine, if it had been mined privately in the feudal era of the previous life, would obviously have left a lot undiscovered.

But in this era, dignified immortal cultivators have to pick up people's teeth incognito in order to obtain mineral materials.

This undoubtedly shows that even in other places, resources such as mineral materials must be controlled by immortal cultivators. Otherwise, you can just find an unexplored iron mine and mine it yourself, so why bother.

but………

After thinking about it, Chu Mu was a little confused. Judging from his current understanding, whether it was plant medicine or mineral materials, they were obviously divided into two concepts: the secular world and the immortal world.

Are there any "spiritual plants" for botanical medicinal materials that exceed their own growth limits?

Chu Mu didn't know if there was a mistake in this naming, but that's probably what it meant.

As for mineral materials, just like the iron mine in Nanshan, the mysterious mineral materials clearly show that they are different from ordinary mineral materials in the world.

This is obviously unlikely to be an isolated case. In other words, mineral materials are obviously divided into secular mineral materials and "spiritual minerals"?

Ordinary plant medicines in the world are obviously not precious. Even as far as he is concerned, they are only out of pocket.

Are secular minerals also in great demand for immortal cultivators?

It seems, is that really the case?

Chu Mu suddenly thought of the news he had heard from everywhere before.

In the surrounding areas of Qinghe County, wherever there are mineral deposits, they are mined like the Nanshan Iron Ore.

You can see the leopard in the pipe, and the same should be true in other places.

This obviously clearly illustrates the fact that even for ordinary mineral materials, the world of immortality obviously needs them in large quantities.

The large demand for mineral materials must have a huge market that can be digested.

Why was there a large demand for mineral materials in previous lives?

Is that because of the development of industrialization?

It is the fundamental reason, but in the final analysis, it is not just the need for external force brought about by people's own fragility.

In the world of immortality, great power is concentrated within oneself...

The anticipation in Chu Mu's heart seemed to be a little stronger.

This world of cultivating immortals may be really different from what he thought...

…

When night fell, Chu Mu walked out of Wu Shuo's house.

The sky is dark, and no stars can be seen. Only the bright moon, covered by clouds, is still emitting light to the earth.

The evening breeze is slightly cool and refreshing.

Chu Mu's originally impetuous mind slowly calmed down under the evening breeze.

Now, everything is clear.

Chu Mu raised his head and looked at the night sky. The bright moon covered by dark clouds slowly revealed its full appearance.

Just like him, all the fog that enveloped him in this life has been lifted.

Chu Mu looked around at the peaceful town in front of him, and then at the mine where flickering flames could be seen.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before a bigger storm would envelope this town and this mine again.

After the storm, no matter who wins or loses, its impact on Nanshan Town and Nanshan Iron Mine will inevitably be extremely profound.

As for Chu Mu, it is obviously impossible for him to use fire to obtain millet.

He doesn't have the qualifications, nor does he have the idea.

All he has to do is protect himself wisely.

How to protect yourself wisely?

He had no choice but to leave, leave his small town that was almost turning into a safe haven.

Once again, we step into a strange place, with strange people, strange things, and a strange environment...

Chu Mu looked at the light screen panel in his field of vision. Each piece of data clearly proved his persistence after coming to this life.

Moreover, he was persistent and studied hard like never before in his previous life...

Until now, he has accumulated some capital.

The world is so big, as long as it is secular, he can easily get there.

In the dark of night, Chu Mu walked alone on the street, his steps slow, his thoughts racing...
