Extraordinary Ring

Chapter 172 Mining

The mountain range where Li Huai and his friends are located is called Cangming Mountain Range, which is a relatively barren mountain range. There are more than a dozen ghost cultivation villages hundreds of miles away from here. As for the Black Cloud Village mentioned by the two ghost cultivation puppets, it is a group of mountain bandits composed of ghost cultivation.

His parents' cultivation is still relatively weak now. The purpose of his coming here is to let them practice quickly, so Li Huai decided to find a village to live in. According to the two ghost puppets, the cultivation of ghost cultivation in the village is generally very low. The first master village chief is only a ghost soldier. The strength of more than a dozen villages is comparable. As long as Li Huai uses absolute defense to cover his breath at any time, there is no need to worry about the leakage of estrangement. A distance of hundreds of miles does not take too much time for Li Huai and his friends. After walking out of the Cangming Mountain Range, they can see the village not far away.

The two ghost cultivator puppets were thrown directly into the ring space, while the parents walked towards the village with Li Huai. This was a village with more than 2,000 ghost cultivators. As soon as Li Huai and the other two reached the entrance of the village, they were stopped by two evil ghosts holding bone knives. "This is Lanxi Village, please stop!"

"Two big brothers, please inform the village chief and tell him that our family of three wants to join your village!" Li Huai laughed and said.

The two ghost cultivators looked at each other and nodded, and one of them went to the village. Li Huai found that the village also arranged a formation to gather soul energy. It was much better to cultivate inside than outside. It is said that the larger the town, the richer the soul energy in the city. As for the capital of the empire, the soul energy is even more abundant. Compared with this small village, it is simply heaven and earth.

The evil ghost guarding the village is one level lower than his parents. He is only in the middle stage of the evil ghost. His parents are already in the late stage of the evil ghost, which can be regarded as a master in this village.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the ghost cultivator returned to the village entrance and said that the village chief invited them in, so Li Huai and the other two stepped into the ghost cultivation village called Lanxi Village. The village was very quiet. Ghost cultivators were different from humans. They didn't need to eat, drink, defecate, and practice all day except earning soul jade, so most people were practicing in their own houses at this time.

Stone houses stood in a row. After sweeping through with his spiritual sense, Li Huai found that there was usually a ghost cultivator in a stone house, but there were exceptions. There were two ghost cultivators, but that was a man and a woman. In the Yellow Springs Ghost Domain, male and female ghost cultivators could be partners, but they could not give birth to children.

At the end of the village, there was a unique stone house. To be precise, it was a stone house several times larger than the other stone houses. This was the residence of the village chief.

A skinny ghost cultivator stood at the door of the house and smiled at Li Huai and the other two who were coming. Li Xiangdong and Sun Xiaomei were both in the late stage of evil spirits, equivalent to innate masters, and they were also the backbone of the village.

"Meet the village chief!" The ghost cultivator who brought Li Huai and the others saluted respectfully, and Li Huai and the others followed suit.

The skinny village chief invited Li Huai and the others into his house, and said politely, "Have you three decided to join our Lanxi Village?"

"Yes, our family of three has already decided, village chief, here are three pieces of low-grade soul jade, please keep them!" Li Huai handed the three round stones that exuded soul energy to the village chief.

The village chief smiled and took the three pieces of low-grade soul jade and nodded, "It just so happens that there are three stone houses connected together in the west of the village. It is also a lot more convenient for your family of three to live together!"

"Thank you, village chief!"

Then the village chief handed them three jade cards and asked a ghost to take them to the west of the village. If you want to live in the village, you need to pay a piece of low-grade soul jade every month, because the formation in the village needs a lot of soul jade to support it.

As for where Li Huai's soul jade came from? Of course, it was looted from the two puppet ghost cultivators. The two ghost cultivators in the ghost soldier stage did not have much wealth, and the total amount was only more than 30 pieces of low-grade soul jade.

"Dad and mom, take these soul jades, you just need to practice with confidence. As for the soul jade, I will provide you with it continuously!"

Li Xiangdong and Sun Xiaomei knew that their son had great magical powers, so they didn't have to worry about him. Their current task was to practice well and strive for an early breakthrough.

With the cultivation level of dad and mom, they can consume at most one piece of low-grade soul jade if they practice continuously for twelve hours a day. The higher the level, the more soul jade they consume. More than 30 pieces of low-grade soul jade are only enough for them to practice for half a month, so his current task is to find more soul jade within half a month.

In the blink of an eye, Li Huai's family of three has been in Lanxi Village for a week. Because his parents practice almost every moment and rarely come out, Li Huai is different. He doesn't need to practice at all. He visited most of the ghost cultivators in the village, mainly to consult about some things on the Yellow Spring Continent.

The life routine of every ghost cultivator in the village is very simple. In the twelve hours of the day, they will go mining for six hours, practice for four hours, and as for the remaining two hours they will come out to the square in the village to communicate and even exchange ideas.

Today Li Huai planned to go to the mine with his neighbor Liaoyuan to mine. The mine was only a dozen miles away from the village. As soon as he arrived here, Li Huai discovered tens of thousands of ghost cultivators. It is said that this mine is the town of Heisha. Go to the Fan family's mine. The rules for mining are very simple. The mine will give you tools, and then you enter the mine to mine. The more you dig, the more you will get. As long as you dig out a hundred pieces of low-grade soul jade, then one of the hundred pieces belongs to you, which is a 1% commission. However, the rocks in this mine are very hard, and it is not easy to dig. On a good day, you can dig out more than a dozen pieces of low-grade Yuanshi. On a bad day, you can only dig out a few pieces. On a very unlucky day, you can even dig out none at all. As long as you dig up 100 pieces of soul jade, you can receive a piece of low-grade soul jade.

When entering the mine, you will be inspected and you cannot bring any storage equipment into it. The mine will give you a shovel and a backpack for mining.

"Master Steward, this is my neighbor Li Huai. He is new here. He plans to go mining with me!" Liaoyuan found a middle-aged ghost cultivator in a house next to the mine and said to him.

The middle-aged ghost cultivator glanced at Li Huai and looked away, "Li Huai, right? If you want to enter the mine to dig mad, you must first pay five pieces of low-grade soul jade!"

"Yes!" Li Huai happily threw out five pieces of low-grade soul jade, which he borrowed from Liaoyuan, because he gave all the soul jade to his parents and didn't keep any.

"This is your identity tag!"

The middle-aged ghost cultivator handed Li Huai a dark sign with a skull on it and threw it to Li Huai. Li Huai looked at it and found that there was nothing special about the sign, but there was a small formation in the jade sign. Method, this formation has the function of recording images, so once someone has a private collection of soul jade, it will be recorded directly by this jade token, and only by wearing this jade token can one enter the mine to dig for soul jade.

"Take it, this sign represents your identity. If you lose it, you need to buy it back with one hundred lower-grade soul jade!" Then the middle-aged ghost cultivator handed Li Huai a shovel and basket for digging, and then He and Liaoyuan passed the inspection and walked into the mine.

There are countless mines in the mine. You can enter any of them, but there is a requirement that you must come out within six hours, otherwise you will be punished.

Liao Yuan went directly to a mine and said as he walked, "Li Huai, I excavated more than thirty low-grade Yuan stones in the mine I went to yesterday. If I'm lucky and can still find them nearby, let's go this way." !”

Li Huai scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and found that those who came to dig up the soul jade had the highest cultivation level and even reached the Bai Wuchang realm, but there were only a few of them, just a few among tens of thousands of people.

Liaoyuan was only a ghost cultivator in the early stage of Li Gui, so he could still save a little bit from the soul jade he earned in January. However, after Li Huai borrowed five pieces of low-grade soul jade, his savings were basically empty.

In the mine, a dim light flickers, and the stone walls of the two men are extremely smooth. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong coming from different forks. It is another ghost cultivator digging for soul jade.

The spiritual consciousness of ghost cultivators is called spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness of ghost cultivators like Xiang Liaoyuan can penetrate up to half a meter into the stone wall. As for the ghost cultivators in the later stage of Li Gui, they can penetrate three meters. Once inside, ghost soldiers can visit. Look for soul jade on a stone wall within ten meters. Generally speaking, the higher your cultivation level, the more soul jade you can find.

Liao Yuan led Li Huai into a branch road and walked for about half an hour before reaching the end. "Li Huai, this is where I dug more than 30 pieces of low-grade soul jade yesterday. Let's get started!"

Li Huai nodded and took out the shovel used to dig out rocks. He dug hard and pulled out large rocks. A ghost like Xiang Liaoyuan could only see whether there was soul jade on the stone wall within half a meter, but Li Huai was different. His consciousness is at least It can penetrate tens of thousands of meters. He released his spiritual consciousness and penetrated into the mountain wall. Within a range of 500 meters, there were about 300 pieces of low-grade soul jade dotted around. He waved the shovel and moved directly towards the soul. Dig out the jade.

So, in the following time, Li Huai and Liaoyuan began to work together.

After digging out two meters, Li Huai shattered a stone, took out a piece of soul jade from it, and threw it into the basket on his back. He looked back at Liaoyuan and found that there were three pieces of low-grade jade in his basket on his back. Yuan Shi, with a sweep of his consciousness, discovered that if he kept digging in that direction, he would be able to dig out at least fifty pieces of low-grade items. Soul Jade, after knowing the result, Li Huai began to dig hard. These rocks were a little difficult for other ghost cultivators, but not difficult at all for Li Huai. He was like a pangolin who could dig holes. Moving forward quickly on the mountain wall, the number of soul jade in the basket on his back increased little by little, but Li Huai had no intention of stopping.

About five hours later, Liaoyuan retreated from the mine, and shouted to Li Huai, who had dug a bottomless and winding mine, "Li Huai, it's time for us to go!"

"Okay!" Li Huai walked out of the mine about five minutes later. At this time, his basket on his back was filled with about a thousand yuan of low-grade soul jade.

"Li Huai, what are you?" Seeing the soul jade in Li Huai's backpack, he rubbed his eyes hard, as if he was hallucinating.
