Cultivation starts with taming beasts

From afar, a tall mountain peak reaches the sky.

The mountain peak is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly. According to the information Qi Yunxian had learned before, this should be Yunxia Mountain where the Huangshi Island Mine is located.

The mine is at the foot of the mountain here, and the clouds and mist under the mountain peak are the third-level formation "Yunxia Jinguang Formation" arranged by the Black Water Gate for the Liu family.

This formation is not very good in terms of attack, but its defense is outstanding. Even if facing the Purple Mansion Stage, it can resist for a period of time.

Qi Yunxian is conceited about his means, but he has no way to deal with this formation.

Manager Liu brought Qi Yunxian down from the sky. He skillfully retrieved the flying boat, took out a token and activated it, and said to it,

"Open the formation, I'm bringing new people."

"Oh, it's Manager Liu, you brought a lot of new people, you must have made a fortune!"

A teasing voice came from the token,

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, open the formation first, I have other things to do! Don't waste time."

Manager Liu interrupted him, obviously not wanting to talk to this person, and smiled kindly at Qi Yunxian.

Soon the formation showed a gap and the mist dispersed, and Qi Yunxian followed Manager Liu into it.

After passing through the formation, they arrived at the foot of Yunxia Mountain.

Manager Liu asked Qi Yunxian to stay where he was and wait, and then he walked up to a monk who looked like a manager and talked in a low voice.

"Manager Wei, this time the goods are not rotten fish and shrimp. They are at the seventh level of Qi Refining and not too old. They can work in the mine for at least several decades. You have to give me a good price this time, otherwise, you should find this kind of goods yourself next time." Manager Liu pointed at Qi Yunxian while speaking. If it was an ordinary cultivator, he would really think that Manager Liu was giving him a backdoor! But Qi Yunxian's spiritual power far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level. Manager Liu had already noticed the conversation between them. No wonder this old guy was so enthusiastic. It turned out that this guy was selling him like a piglet! "Hmph, you still have the nerve to talk about the price. The last batch of waste you sent was lost in the mine in a few months, causing me to lose all my money. This time, you have to wait until I test the quality before you can talk."

Manager Wei was obviously cheated by Manager Liu. He did not pay directly, but walked to Qi Yunxian with a serious face,

"Who are you and why do you want to enter the mine that my Black Water Sect and the Liu family are jointly mining."

Qi Yunxian had expected this question. He had not only rented the cave under the pseudonym Lin Yun before.

He also changed his face with a special secret method, confident that unless the power of spiritual consciousness could exceed his existence, others would not be able to see his disguise, including the manager Wei in front of him who was at the peak of Qi Refining.

"My name is Lin Yun, a casual cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining, from Luofeng Island. I entered the mine because Manager Liu said that the treatment in the mine is good now, so I came to try the mine."

Qi Yunxian casually said an answer that he had prepared long ago.

Luofeng Island is a gathering place for independent cultivators in this sea area. It is more than 800 miles away from Huangshi Island. It is not easy for either the Liu family or the Black Water Gate to find out the origin of an independent cultivator.

"Oh, really? Luofeng Island is still a long way from here. How did you get here? Forget it, hold on to this talisman and answer the question again."

Manager Wei handed over a talisman. Qi Yunxian looked closely and found that it was a heart-searching talisman.

This talisman has the ability to confuse people's minds. When a cultivator holds a talisman, he will be affected by it. When asked by others, he will always unconsciously tell the truth. The talisman that Manager Wei handed over was a first-level heart-searching talisman.

Qi Yunxian didn't care about it and took it.

The first-level heart-searching talisman may have some effect on other Qi Refining cultivators, but it has no effect on him, whose soul is far superior to the same level and is comparable to the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Unless this Steward Wei can take out a second-level or third-level soul-searching talisman, he will be able to deal with Qi Yunxian. However, a mere peak Qi Refining master cannot take out such a talisman.

When Qi Yunxian picked up the soul-searching talisman, he felt a mysterious force affecting his soul, but unfortunately, this force was not strong enough and had limited impact on Qi Yunxian.

He pretended to be confused by the soul-searching talisman and answered the question raised by Steward Wei again with a dull look on his face. The answer was still the same as before.

At this time, Steward Liu, who was standing by, felt relieved. His spirit stone was stable.

"Don't mind, Fellow Daoist Lin. Steward Wei did this for the safety of the mine. The mines on our Huangshi Island have attracted many rats from other forces. Many incidents have happened before, so he is wary of people joining the mine."

Steward Liu said to smooth things over.

"It doesn't matter. Then Lin has passed Steward Wei's test."Yes, I will take you to the mine later and tell you the rules of our mine." Manager Wei took the heart-searching talisman from Qi Yunxian's hand and threw a storage bag to Manager Liu. "Then I wish you good fortune, Brother Lin. I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave now. "

After receiving the storage bag, Manager Liu said hello and turned away.

Qi Yunxian knew that he had finally sneaked into the mine. Looking around, there were many cultivators at the entrance of the mine, who were also independent cultivators like him.

The difference was that these people came together, while he was brought alone by Manager Liu.

Estimated visually, there were more than 30 people present, all of whom were independent cultivators. The one with the highest cultivation level was the eighth level of Qi training, and the lowest was only the third level of Qi training.

I saw that Manager Wei gathered everyone together, and Qi Yunxian followed him.

"You are all newly recruited miners of my Black Water Gate. You should know about the treatment offered by our Black Water Gate. As long as you are willing to work hard, we will not be stingy with spiritual stones. "

"It's just that this recruitment is a little different from the past. No matter who you are, you must work here for three years before you can leave. Do you have any objections? "

Everyone present was shocked. In the past, Huangshi Island had no such rule for recruiting miners. In the past, the Liu family manager was the main recruiter. This year, it suddenly became the manager Wei from the Black Water Gate.

You should know that although the Black Water Gate was nominally in charge of the Huangshi Mine before, it was only nominal. All the management of the mine was handed over to the Liu family. They were only responsible for protecting the mine and collecting the spiritual stones from the Liu family as annual dividends.

Besides, the mine on Huangshi Island did not even have a first-level spiritual vein. It was impossible to practice here. Who of the Black Water Gate cultivators would be willing to waste time here? Almost all of them practiced on the spiritual veins on Huangshi Island.

And Moreover, the five Black Water Gate cultivators in the foundation-building period often go out, and most of the time there is only one foundation-building cultivator in charge. After all, there has been no problem on Huangshi Island for decades.

Only when the Liu family encounters something that cannot be solved will they notify the Black Water Gate cultivators to deal with it.

This time is very different from the past. Qi Yunxian glanced and found that both the cultivators stationed in the mine and the Wei Guanshi in front of him seemed to be from the Black Water Gate, and none of the Liu family members before.

As for how to distinguish, it is very simple. The clothing of the Black Water Gate is of the same style. No one who is not from the Black Water Gate dares to wear such clothes in this sea area.
