Open up and break into another world

Unknowingly, Xu Ming had been "collecting money" for nearly a month! — Oh, no, mining!

Perhaps even Xu Ming himself hadn't imagined that he would become a miner in another world, and actually enjoy it so much!

After a month of being a miner, Xu Ming's body had long lost the dashing and composed aura of a male god; replaced by the air of a migrant worker.

But Xu Ming didn't care at all!

That kind of aura could be restored in minutes once he left the mine! But the opportunity to pick up money wasn't something you could have anytime; you had to seize it firmly!

After nearly a month of hard work, Xu Ming naturally reaped a great harvest. Moreover, Xu Ming had also summed up a lot of experience in mining.

In the beginning, Xu Ming only knew to rely on the sharpness of his mid-grade treasure-level iron pickaxe to mine stupidly.

After mining for a few days, Xu Ming suddenly thought—why don't I turn on some attack multipliers to improve efficiency?

So, Xu Ming turned on a level-four attack multiplier—level-four only consumed eighty level-two hanging points per day, but it allowed Xu Ming to mine several hundred more Xuan stones.

Later, Xu Ming thought again: "Huh? Why don't I summon some puppets to help mine?"

So, Xu Ming tried summoning a few half-Xiantian puppets first; but soon, he discovered that it wouldn't work!

The reason why puppets could operate tirelessly like perpetual motion machines was because the miniature spirit-gathering array on the puppet's body could absorb Xuan Qi from the surrounding natural world.

But in the mine, the natural Xuan Qi was very violent and disordered; the miniature spirit-gathering array on the puppet's body couldn't absorb Xuan Qi.

"No wonder…" Xu Ming suddenly understood.

He had always wondered, with the strength of the Manhuang Sect, it shouldn't be difficult to get a few puppets to mine; why did they have to have disciples act as cheap labor?

Now he understood that puppets simply couldn't operate in the mine!

"It would have been great if puppets could help mine…" Xu Ming sighed, "It seems I can't take shortcuts; I can only be down-to-earth and mine one pickaxe at a time!"

Later, Xu Ming also considered using explosive talismans to improve mining efficiency, but after thinking about it, it wouldn't work.

Playing with explosions in the Xuan stone mine would create too much noise and be too high-profile; Xu Ming was here to pick up money, so it was better to keep a low profile! It would be best if others forgot that there was someone in the mine, that would be even better!

Moreover, using explosions to mine Xuan stones was too violent and easily damaged the Xuan stones. The Xuan stones in this mine were all Xu Ming's private property, how could Xu Ming be willing to damage them?

After mining for nearly a month, Xu Ming accumulated a full forty thousand level-two hanging points—this was after deducting the ten thousand hanging points consumed by activating the second stage of the advanced function.

Xu Ming's cultivation had also unknowingly gone from the early stage of Xiantian to the middle stage of Xiantian while offline.

"Upgrading while picking up money, this feeling is awesome!"

"I wonder how long this mine can withstand my digging!"

As for what the consequences would be if he really emptied the mine, Xu Ming was too lazy to think about it for the time being. Because…

If he really emptied the mine, Xu Ming's hanging points would definitely have reached an outrageous level, and at that time… the Liang faction?

Is the Liang faction very powerful? — Open the cheat and directly crush them!

With hanging points, you can be so capricious and arrogant!

"Xu Ming, are you still in the mine?" This was the unknown number of times that Gu Hanmo had sent a voice transmission.

"Yeah!" Xu Ming said.

"Haven't you mined two thousand low-grade Xuan stones yet?—You've been in the mine for almost a month, it's too wasteful of cultivation time! Or, I'll go find my father and have him change your sect mission!"

Gu Hanmo's father was the Manhuang Sect Master, so he naturally had the power to change Xu Ming's sect mission.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Xu Ming said quickly, "I quite like mining!"

"You…" Gu Hanmo was speechless, "I don't understand you!"

"You'll understand soon!" Xu Ming smiled inscrutably.

"By the way, this time I'm telling you that whether you've mined enough two thousand Xuan stones or not, you should come out!"

"Why?" Picking up money every day, Xu Ming really didn't want to leave.

"The Sect Martial Arts Competition is about to begin, aren't you going to participate?"

Sect Martial Arts Competition…

Xu Ming wasn't actually very interested in this kind of martial arts competition; but he knew that he had to participate in this Sect Martial Arts Competition!

Because in every year's Sect Martial Arts Competition, the Gu faction was too weak; the top five positions were almost entirely held by the Liang faction. If this situation continued for a long time, it would obviously be very unfavorable to the Gu faction; even the control of the Manhuang Sect would gradually tilt towards the Liang faction.

"I will go to the Sect Martial Arts Competition," Xu Ming said.

"Okay. But you don't need to have too much pressure—just treat this Sect Martial Arts Competition as a way to familiarize yourself; it will be your time to shine in a year or two!"

Although the matter of Xu Ming defeating Hu Zhenyu had spread like wildfire in the sect, and many people believed that Xu Ming possessed the strength of a Xiantian Completion, there were not a few Xiantian Completion disciples among the Manhuang Sect's genius disciples; among them were even super geniuses who were at the limit of Xiantian Completion or even almost beyond Xiantian Completion!

Therefore, Xu Ming was not favored.

Even if Gu Hanmo knew that Xu Ming had also killed Zhao Anhe and Long Batian, two Xiantian Completion experts, she still didn't favor Xu Ming.

Because in Gu Hanmo's opinion, Xu Ming must have used all kinds of means to kill those two people with difficulty; while the top geniuses of the Manhuang Sect could easily kill Zhao Anhe and Long Batian—the difference was obvious.

"Uh…" Being looked down upon by Gu Hanmo, Xu Ming didn't argue; everything would be decided by strength!

Moreover…

Xu Ming was also looking forward to seeing what kind of surprised expression Gu Hanmo would have when she saw him crush a group of top geniuses from the Manhuang Sect.

The newest novels are at 69shu bar, first!

"Hehe…" Just thinking about how Gu Hanmo might have her eyes wide and her mouth open in an O shape, Xu Ming felt secretly happy.

"It's time to go out…" Although Xu Ming still wanted to pick up money for a few more days, after thinking about it, there would be plenty of time in the future, and it wouldn't make a difference in these few days. It was also time to go out, sort out the gains of this period of time, and improve his strength!

Walking back from the winding depths of the mine to the outer periphery, there were still many outer sect disciples mining here.

"Yeah, the Sect Martial Arts Competition is coming soon, I'm going out to participate!" Xu Ming said casually. This tone obviously didn't take the Sect Martial Arts Competition seriously at all.

"Oh right, the Sect Martial Arts Competition is about to begin—Brother Ming, we're going to be your cheerleaders!" Among the outer sect disciples mining, there were also female disciples. At this time, a fair-skinned and beautiful outer sect female disciple said with a infatuated look.

"Uh, okay…"

"Then Brother Ming, this time in the Sect Martial Arts Competition, what do you think you can get?" A disciple asked.

There were people who set up bets for the Sect Martial Arts Competition. Exploring more of this kind of news would help him win more money when he placed his bets.

"What place?" Xu Ming smiled, half-jokingly, "Of course it's first place!"

"Haha… Brother Ming, you're really joking!"

"Brother Ming, what ambition!"

Obviously, these outer sect disciples all took Xu Ming's words as a joke.

A new week is about to begin, please recommend! But this time, I don't dare to play the recommendation for more updates; I will first count the total recommendation votes for this week, and then tell everyone how many more days to continue updating.

There will be another chapter later.
