Cultivation starts with taming beasts

"I don't know what the mission is. When we first entered the mine, we were not told that we needed to do anything other than mining."

Qi Yunxian said to Zhao Wei,

"This mission is not difficult. Even for someone as powerful as Lin Daoyou, it is an opportunity to make a fortune. There are many monsters living in the Huangshi Mine. I believe Lin Daoyou has seen a lot of them.

Among them, the most harmful to the Huangshi Mine is the group of gold-eating rats. This kind of monster is weak and only has the strength of the first-level lower grade, but it is a group of monsters, often in the thousands. Once it forms a scale, it will cause great damage to the mine.

So every once in a while, we will arrange for monks to kill the gold-eating rats and limit their growth to ensure the safety of the entire mine."

Zhao Wei explained to Qi Yunxian,

"Since the gold-eating rats are so harmful, why not let the foundation-building elders in the Black Water Gate, If we kill them ourselves, wouldn't it be a permanent solution? "

"How can it be that simple? First, the gold-eating rats are one of the food sources for the rock snakes in the mine. If we kill them all, the rock snakes may attack the monks or devour the ore crazily without food.

Second, the gold-eating rats are good at digging holes, and there are countless small holes under the mine. It is impossible to kill them all. We can only barely control their number. "

"I see, how many people will participate in this mission?"

"According to convention, this matter has been handed over to the people on the side of Fellow Daoist Qiu. You can just listen to his arrangements tomorrow. This matter is related to the safety of the Huangshi Island mine, so I hope Fellow Daoist Lin will keep it in mind."

Hearing this, Qi Yunxian had already secretly put this person on his must-kill list. If he could escape from the mine, he would definitely kill this person and let him know who he had offended today.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Supervisor Zhao. I will definitely go there on time tomorrow. I will take my leave first and go back to prepare."

Qi Yunxian said meaningfully and turned to leave.

Zhao Wei watched Qi Yunxian's back slowly walk away, but he felt a little uneasy. When he thought of Qiu Tian, ​​who had never failed in all these years, he barely suppressed this feeling of uneasiness.

"Junior Brother Zhao really values ​​​​that Taoist Qiu. He has escorted him several times and I don't know how much benefit he has given you."

"I don't understand what Senior Brother Li means. I, Zhao Wei, have been working for the sect and have never had any selfish intentions. But Senior Brother Li has just come to the mine and has been hanging out with Taoist Hao. Outsiders who don't know much think that Senior Brother Li and Hao are from the same sect."

Faced with Li Ming's words, Zhao Wei did not give in at all. Whether it was Qiu Tian or Hao Dayou, they were both related to their vital interests. As they were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, no one would give up their money.

"Hmph, I advise Junior Brother Zhao to do things more cleanly. There are many rumors in the mine that Junior Brother Zhao and Fellow Daoist Qiu have killed many miners in the mine. If the managers know about this, I'm afraid that Junior Brother Zhao's position will have to be replaced by someone else."

Zhao Wei's face darkened when he heard this.

"Senior Brother Li, you are joking. Such groundless things cannot be taken seriously. I, Zhao Wei, am loyal to the Black Water Gate and have no second thoughts."

Li Ming just smiled and said nothing more.

When Qi Yunxian stepped into the passage, he found that a purple-robed strong man had been waiting there. It was Hao Dayou who was beside Li Ming before.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know that you have already stepped half a foot into the gates of hell?"

"Why did Fellow Daoist Hao say this?"

Qi Yunxian knew that this person was waiting for him in the passage specifically, and it must not be aimless.

"I guess Manager Zhao must have given you a task to eliminate rats, and told you that the task is not difficult, there are many monks involved, and there is no danger.

But in fact, since a year ago, every time we eliminate rats, people will die, and they are often people other than Boss Qiu's men.

Last month, two of my men died, while none of his men lost a single man.

Originally, the strength of Boss Qiu and I is not much different. In just one year, more than 20 people of my men have been killed in the rat plague. What do you think he meant by assigning you to this task?"

"I see, then why don't you report it to Supervisor Li?"

Qi Yunxian was a little curious. It was obvious that Li Ming was behind Hao Dayou. More than 20 people were killed in a year. This loss was enough to affect the mining progress of the entire mine.

Even if Zhao Wei wanted to intervene, he couldn't suppress this matter.

"Although this matter is strange, there is no evidence to prove that it was done by Qiu Laogui, and those people died at the hands of monsters, so it is left unresolved."

Hao Dayou said helplessly,

"Thank you, Taoist friend for reminding me!"

"No need to thank me, I just can't stand Qiu Laogui's behavior."I can see what the ghost is doing. Seeing that Fellow Daoist Lin has a high level of cultivation, are you interested in joining forces with me to get rid of Old Ghost Qiu?"

Hao Dayou smiled and made an invitation. Qi Yunxian's cultivation reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, which is one of the best in the entire mine, second only to Old Ghost Qiu and Hao Dayou in front of him.

He had also seen the fight between Qi Yunxian and Old Ghost Qiu before, so he had the intention to recruit him.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your kindness, but I am used to being alone and have no intention of joining any forces for the time being."

Qi Yunxian had no intention of participating in the struggle for interests between them, so he politely declined and turned away.

"Brother Hao, this person is so ungrateful, why bother to come and remind him!"

A female cultivator next to Hao Dayou said indignantly. This woman was Zhao Yun who entered the mine with Qi Yunxian.

"Hmph, what do you know? This person has good means. There are many people who can take down the Zhuo Hu brothers in a one-on-two situation.

But there are only a handful of people who can escape unscathed. I'm afraid that Wang Fang can't do it either. I didn't expect that this group of newly joined miners is really full of hidden talents.

In any case, he has a grudge with Qiu Laogui. If he can survive the rat infestation, he will sooner or later turn to us. "

Hao Dayou said confidently,

"How strong can he be alone? Wang Fang has agreed to join forces with us. He has dozens of people under him, not much stronger than Lin Yun."

Zhao Yun said coquettishly,

"Yes, yes, yes, Yun'er, you are right!"

Hao Dayou took her into his arms and said with a smile.

Zhao Yun also leaned on Hao Dayou's shoulder quite tactfully, but she didn't realize that in the place where she couldn't see, there was no emotion in Hao Dayou's cold eyes.
