When Su Ming and others arrived at the black copper mine, it was already noon.

Under the scorching sun, you can clearly see that many ordinary miners below are exchanging the ores they dug for food.

Most of these ordinary miners are in ragged clothes, gray-faced, and covered with dirt from the mines. They look no different from beggars.

Some people were so skinny that they couldn't dig enough ore in exchange for much food, and were whipped by the supervisors with whips to roll on the ground, making shrill screams; some miners were strong, and although they were a little embarrassed, they were able to Turn in enough ores, eat the food beautifully, and enjoy the wails of the weak.

The overseers had cold eyes and ferocious smiles. Whenever they saw a miner waiting in line who did not hand over enough ore, he would whip him excitedly. The more the miners screamed, the more ferocious the smiles on the faces of these overseers became.

According to Jin Wenyu, these mortals who were demoted to miners were all extremely evil people, and none of them were good.

Su Ming and others naturally knew the real situation. As long as Jin Wenyu could provide enough miners every month and the black copper mine could dig enough black copper ore, they had no intention of asking whether the cultivators who were the beneficiaries were sinners. .

This world, whether it is an immortal cultivator or a mortal world, is equally cruel. Qi-refining monks like them can decide the fate of mortals with a single word, and high-level monks can also easily control the life and death of low-level monks like them.

Su Ming lived in a peaceful world in his previous life. When he saw the scene in the mine, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes. This trace of unbearability passed away in a flash and eventually turned into dullness.

It doesn't matter if he can't bear it, the world is like this, and he, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, can't change it at all.

If they want to blame, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck!

As garrisoned monks, if the black copper mine does not turn in enough black copper ore every month, they will be punished by the sect. In serious cases, they may even be transferred back to the sect and go to the frontline battlefield.

When the time comes, who will come to intercede for Su Ming!

Recalling the bloody records in "Linggan Lun" and his experiences over the years, the ripples in Su Ming's state of mind disappeared and he became calm again.

Chang Yun, Liu Tao and others did not fluctuate at all. Immortal cultivators who grew up in Guiyuan Sect have always been aloof from the bottom of their hearts when facing mortals. Mortal life and death are as trivial in their eyes.

Only Jiang Caiyun also had a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he opened his mouth and finally chose to remain silent without saying a word.

Su Ming and others lowered their escape lights and landed in front of several wooden houses outside the mine to put away their magic weapons.

The escape of Su Ming and others caused quite a commotion in the black copper mine. However, due to the iron-blooded methods of the supervisor, the commotion was quickly replaced by screams.

At this time, two outer disciples in gray clothes walked out of the wooden house and bowed to Su Ming and others.

At the same time, the commotion and screams in the black copper mine also disappeared. A sinister man with dark skin and a scar on his face walked out of the mine. Judging from his attire, he should be the supervisor of these supervisors.

Seeing this person, Su Ming and others had a hint of surprise in their eyes. This person had mana fluctuations in his body. Although he was only at the third level of Qi Refining, he was also an out-and-out immortal cultivator.

The man with the scar showed a flattering smile on his fierce face. He obviously knew everyone's identity, and he saluted Liu Tao respectfully:

"See Senior Liu! What are your orders, Senior? I will do my best to do it!"

Liu Tao waved his hand, motioning for the other party to stand up, looked sideways at Chang Yun and the other five and said:

"My garrison time has expired. I will leave Guang'an City and return to the sect today. These are the senior brothers who are responsible for replacing me and others who are stationed at the Black Copper Mine. You should hurry up and inform the other two junior brothers who are patrolling and ask them to come over immediately. !”

The scarred man raised his head when he heard this, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes! I'm going to inform the two seniors inside immediately!"

"I, He Jie, a disciple of the He family, are responsible for assisting the seniors of Guiyuan Sect in managing this mine. If these seniors have anything to do, just give me an order, and I will do my best to handle it!"

After saying that, He Jie slowly retreated and entered the mine with two supervisors to inform the other two outer disciples who were patrolling.

When Su Ming heard this, a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

I almost forgot that the He family also gets a 10% dividend from this black copper mine. It is normal for the other party to send a third-level Qi Refining collateral disciple to manage the mine.

It not only ensures that the family's interests will not be embezzled by the garrisoned disciples, but also allows the garrisoned disciples of Guiyuan Sect to worry more. They can just leave all the dirty work to the other party. Besides, a guy at the third level of Qi Refining is not a threat to the garrisoned disciples.

After a while, the remaining two outer disciples walked out of the mine. When they saw the five inner disciples beside Liu Tao, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Obviously these two people were surprised that five inner disciples came to guard the Wutong Mine. It seemed that they didn't even know about the outbreak of the Lingshi Mine War.

When Su Ming saw this, he thought of the two outer disciples who had just stayed in the wooden house to rest and had not gone to inspect the mine. Those two people were probably more trusted by Liu Tao.

Sure enough, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are only five people stationed there, and they are divided into three, six, and nine ranks.

The five people from Chang Yun and the five people from Liu Tao briefly exchanged a few words and then started the handover of this mission.

It is said to be a handover, but it is actually asking about some details of the mine, such as the power and consumption of the formation, the maintenance precautions of the formation, the normal output of the black copper mine, whether the miners in the mine are "honest", etc. ....

After handing over these things, Liu Tao took out an account book recording the black copper ore from his storage bag and handed it to Chang Yun, and then handed over the token of the entire mine.

Finally, he handed over a black storage bag. This is a top-grade storage bag. The internal space is five times larger than Su Ming's medium-grade storage bag. It is specially issued by the sect to store the raw ore every month.

After handing over the task, Liu Tao's melancholy on his face became more and more undisguised, and his expression was lost. There was even a trace of reluctance in his eyes when he looked at the black copper mine.

In this turbulent period, he really didn't want to leave Guang'an City, a comfortable place to garrison.

Appearance is determined by the heart. Liu Tao felt more and more tired. It seems that he relied on the extraordinary physical body of a cultivator last night and consumed too much essence to fight three people alone. Now he looks more and more vicissitudes.

Chang Yun took the three things, put the top-grade storage bag in his arms, and didn't care about Liu Tao's decadent look. He carefully looked through the accounts.

This is the most important handover. If they find out that the accounts are not right afterward, they will have to pay out of their own pockets to fill the gaps if they want to avoid the sect's punishment.

The memory of the immortal cultivators is far superior to that of ordinary people. Even if they can read ten lines at a glance, they will not miss any information. In just a few minutes, Chang Yun checked the accounts.

Normally, as long as Chang Yun nods, the handover is completed. However, this time, all the people who came were inner disciples, so after Chang Yun checked, he handed the accounts to Su Ming and the other four to check in turn.

Su Ming and others checked and found that they were roughly the same. According to the daily inventory share of the accounts, there would be no problem in completing the monthly tasks.

As for whether the slight deviation fell into Liu Tao's pocket, Su Ming and others did not intend to pursue it.

This little bit of spiritual stone is nothing to them. As long as they can spend the five years of garrison safely, Liu Tao can take this little bit of money away.

After doing this, Chang Yun took out the token and handed it to Su Ming, asking them to check if there was any problem with the mine formation.

Su Ming took the token, his eyes fluctuated, and a mysterious pattern flashed in the depths of his eyes.

As soon as he arrived at the Black Copper Mine, Hetu Luoshu detected the formation here, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Ming was not in a hurry to start analyzing the formation directly.

Now holding the formation token, he can verify some of Su Ming's ideas.

According to the information given by Luoshu, the formation arranged in the Black Copper Mine is the Earth Demon Formation, which is a second-level low-grade defense formation. Once activated, it will draw the Earth Demon Qi in the Black Copper Mine vein for defense, and even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Period will find it difficult to break through.

The analysis time given by Luoshu is: six years!
