Cultivation starts with taming beasts

Qi Yunxian took out the Night Pearl, compared it with the map of the entire mine tunnel, and chose some remote and narrow forks to enter.

Along the way, he could still meet a few groups of monks who were mining, but under his deliberate avoidance, no accidents happened.

About three hours later, Qi Yunxian finally came to the edge of the entire vein. The vein extended to this place, and the yellow-brown stones contained in the surrounding rock walls were already sparse, all scattered fragments.

There was no value in digging at all. This place was less than a mile away from the barrier of the "Cloud and Golden Light Array".

Qi Yunxian did not continue to move forward, thinking that no one should come here to dig ore.

The Fire Summoning Sword was aimed at the surrounding rock walls. After a few swords, a square hole was cut in the rock wall, and Qi Yunxian jumped into it.

"I am now at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, and I am only one step away from the eighth level. It is better to improve my cultivation to the eighth level first. Anyway, I can't leave the mine for the time being."

Thinking of this, Qi Yunxian took out a two-patterned Yangling Pill from his storage bag and swallowed it. This pill also came from the storage bag of Zheng Yuanlaodao.

The power of the elixir in the two-patterned Yangling Pill is enough for Qi Yunxian to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. If he practices in this mine, he cannot practice without the help of elixir spirit stones.

This is also one of the reasons why many cultivators, including the Black Water Sect and the Liu family's own disciples, are unwilling to mine by themselves.

Qi Yunxian immediately stopped hesitating and began to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining.

...

Twenty-eight days later.

Qi Yunxian broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining as if it was a natural thing. He patted the dust on his shoulders and walked out of the stone wall.

"I didn't expect that this breakthrough took twenty-eight days."

Qi Yunxian had a headache. In two days, it would be the day to hand in the yellow-brown stone.

But there was not a single ore in his storage bag.

He had been concentrating on cultivation for some time, so he had no time to dig for ore. Besides, he didn't care about the little profit from digging ore. He came here to make a big fortune.

With his current cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, he was more confident about escaping from the mine.

But this ore still had to be handed in, otherwise the guys from the Black Water Gate would think that I was hiding the ore. For now, I had to ask a few unlucky guys to "borrow" some ore.

When Qi Yunxian thought of this, a strange smile appeared on his face, which looked particularly creepy under the illumination of the night pearl.

Yunxia Mountain.

In the southwest area of ​​the yellow-brown stone vein.

In a hall with seven caves, it was inlaid with glowing fluorite everywhere, making the whole hall particularly bright.

There is a huge stone table in the middle of the hall, with more than a dozen stone chairs placed in an orderly manner around it, and not far in front of the stone table, there is an even larger throne.

A purple-robed strong man was lying on his back, and a female cultivator behind him was kneading his shoulders with both hands.

The purple-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and rubbed his roundness with his hands from time to time, with a look of great enjoyment on his face.

"Brother Hao, Wang Fang wants to invite you to the No. 3 mining area tomorrow to discuss how to deal with Qiu Laogui."

The female cultivator was Zhao Yun, who entered the mine with Qi Yunxian. She was seen clinging to the purple-robed man and whispering,

The cultivator surnamed Hao grabbed her wrist and said coldly,

"Tell me, how much benefit did your old lover give you?"

Zhao Yun was frightened by this sudden change and said in panic,

"How can I How could I possibly betray Brother Hao? Brother Hao, you are much stronger than him in both strength and body. I am just passing a message to him because we entered the mine together. I have no intention of betraying Brother Hao."

"Really?"

The monk surnamed Hao exerted force with his palm and pulled Zhao Yun behind him into his arms. He held her throat with his palm and exerted force slowly. Zhao Yun struggled hard, but her strength was not enough in front of the purple-robed monk.

Just when she thought she was going to die, the man loosened his hand.

"Can you talk now? Don't fool me! You stinky woman, you are really nothing in my heart?"

The man surnamed Hao lifted Zhao Yun's head and looked at her with teasing eyes.

Zhao Yun gasped in shock. She almost died just now. Wang Fang, this bastard, must pay more money if he finds her for such a thing next time.

"Brother Hao, I was wrong."

"Oh, what was wrong?"

"I, I, I shouldn't have lied to you, but I really didn't betray you. I just took Wang Fang's spirit stones. He gave me fifty spirit stones and asked me to pass them to you. I won't dare to do it again next time. Please forgive me.Come on! I'll give you all the spirit stones. "

Zhao Yun was already frightened and stammered,

"Betrayal? You are worthy of it."

The strong man named Hao threw Zhao Yun to the ground, stood up, and his eyes flickered.

His full name is Hao Dayou. He has the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was originally just a robbery cultivator entrenched on an unknown small island.

After a robbery and murder, he found that he had offended a force that he should not have offended. He killed the only son of a foundation-building cultivator, and had no choice but to flee to another place to avoid disaster.

It happened that he heard the news of the recruitment of the Huangshi Island mine at that time, and the treatment was not bad. Hao Dayou took a spirit ship to Huangshi Island, intending to avoid the pursuit of the foundation-building cultivators while earning resources to buy pills to continue practicing.

Hao Dayou never thought What's more, his cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining is extremely rare in the Huangshi Island Mine. He quickly established his own power in the mine with his extraordinary cultivation and the ruthlessness of the robbers.

This hall belongs to their power. With this power, he lives a life like a god. He practices all day without worrying about the ore.

There are more than 200 cultivators in the mine, including the newly joined cultivators. Except for a few lone rangers with outstanding strength, they basically belong to three forces.

These three forces divide the entire mine into three mining areas.

The one occupying the No. 1 mining area is The strongest team of miners is led by a monk named Qiu Tian, ​​who is also known as Qiu Laogui by Zhao Yun.

This person has joined the Huangshi Island Mine for more than eight years, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is a powerful figure in the entire mine, and has unclear interests with some disciples of the Black Water Sect.

He has more than a hundred miners under him.

The No. 2 mining area is Hao Dayou's territory. He joined the mine a little later than Qiu Laogui, but the two are equally strong. He has more than 80 miners under his command, which is less than Qiu Laogui.

The No. 3 mining area is the newly joined Wang Fang. This person is lucky. The new batch Among the miners who joined, he was the only cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He also seized the opportunity very early. Now he has about 40 miners under his command. He is the weakest among the three major forces, and most of his subordinates are newly joined independent miners.

In order not to be destroyed by the two, Wang Fang had to cling to Hao Dayou's thighs and unite to fight against Qiu Tian, ​​and even sent Zhao Yun to win over Hao Dayou.

At the end of each month, for some reasons, a considerable number of miners could not complete the quota for that month.

There were frequent conflicts between the major forces, and the smell of gunpowder was full.

"Go tell Wang Fang that kid, I, Hao, will definitely come as promised tomorrow!"

Hao Dayou ordered Zhao Yun on the ground.
