The Mortal Immortal

Chapter 40 Officially Going Down to the Mine

Xie Ming saw Shu Han hesitate, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Brother Shu Han, there is no need to worry so much. The above two things rarely happen. If there is an unfortunate collapse, the three of us will gather together, and the chance of survival is still very high. Believe in my and Lao Kang's many years of experience in mining."

Shu Han thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I will trouble you two brothers to guide me!"

"Haha, that's good, we will rest in Qingshi Town for one night today, and go to the Tianzi mine of Baiyu Sect tomorrow. It just so happens that we have a little friend waiting!"

Shu Han asked in surprise: "Are there any companions?"

"That little friend is called Lin Wenguang, a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining. His cultivation has stagnated recently, and he also wants to become a casual miner to earn some spiritual stones. Lao Kang and I saw that he was inexperienced and might be dangerous in mining, so we pulled him into the team. After all, there is strength in numbers! There are more possibilities to find the traces of top-grade spiritual stones!"

Shu Han bowed and said: "You two brothers are really kind-hearted!"

In the evening, in the inn, Lin Wenguang arrived as promised.

He was a few years older than Shu Han, but he still had a reserved look.

According to him, he brought home special tea to Kang Guangwen and Xie Ming when he returned to his hometown.

He said that he came to Dayun cultivation world alone, and thanks to the two elder brothers' guidance, he avoided many detours, and praised their kindness in helping others.

The four of them had a good chat in the tavern. Shu Han and Lin Wenguang were both newcomers to the cultivation world, and they quickly became familiar with each other because of the same experience.

The next day, the four of them left Qingshan Town early in the morning.

Baiyu Sect was not far from Qingshan Town, in the Baishui Mountains more than a hundred miles away, and the Tianzi-shaped large and small mineral veins under its jurisdiction were also at the head of the Baishui Dragon Vein.

When the four of them arrived here, the mine cave was already crowded with people. More than a hundred people were crowded in the narrow registration office, and the queue was long, and there were cultivators coming from all directions. Kang Guangwen said anxiously: "Not good, it seems that the news of the top-grade spirit stone has spread, otherwise there wouldn't be so many casual cultivators coming to sign up! Let's hurry to the team to get a place!"

The four people rushed into the queue, and Shu Han's pace was faster, rushing to the front.

In front of him was a girl in white gauze. As soon as he approached her, Shu Han's spiritual senses sent out a series of alarms.

This person is not easy to mess with!

Get away quickly!

Shu Han was about to retreat, but the three people behind him rushed over, and they didn't stop for a while and knocked Shu Han out directly.

What a coincidence, I bumped into the girl.

This time, he suddenly embraced a soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms.

"If you don't want to die, let go!"

The stern words made Shu Han shudder, and he quickly jumped away, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was just an unintentional mistake just now. I didn't mean to touch the girl. Please forgive me."

The girl turned around, wearing a light gauze, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, full of displeasure.

"That's it this time. If you dare to do it next time, I will kill you!"

This cold tone frightened Shu Han. He couldn't see the girl's specific cultivation level, but it was definitely not inferior to his own, otherwise his spiritual sense would not have sent a warning.

"I understand! I understand!"

At this time, Lin Wenguang stood up and said in a mean way: "Brother Shu Han, did you feel good about the hug just now? It looks very good, right!"

Hiss!

Shu Han hurriedly turned back and glared to stop him. This man is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. If the girl hears this, his apology just now will be in vain!

After registering one by one, the people in front entered a formation pattern. When the formation pattern lights up, they can jump into the mine. As time goes by, it is finally Shu Han's team. Shu Han can see clearly that the old man guarding the formation pattern has a very high cultivation level, which is more terrifying than Cui Xiangming of Baoguang Pavilion.

"Brother, what is the cultivation level of this old man?"

Kang Guangwen said: "Don't offend him, Elder Luo of Baiyu Sect, a super strong man in the late stage of foundation building!"

Late stage of foundation building!

Shu Han was afraid.

Entering the foundation-building period, a great realm is a world.

His Qi-collecting technique could never deceive his eyes.

Finally, the girl in front of Shu Han came to Elder Luo's desk and wrote down her beautiful little words.

"Chu Ruolin."

Then Shu Han came to Elder Luo, holding his breath and writing down his name, but Elder Luo didn't seem to have any opinion on his Qi-collecting technique, just mechanically shouted: "Okay, go to the spirit-recording formation!" Shu Han couldn't help but sweat. He didn't think his Qi-collecting technique could deceive a late-stage foundation-building strongman, so why didn't Elder Luo expose him in person?

Shu Han thought about it and felt that it might be unnecessary.

After all, in the eyes of others, he was just like a bug crawling on the ground. What's the point of a bug pretending to be a smaller bug?

He came to the spirit-recording formation, and a ball of spiritual light surged under his feet to cover it.

Then he was urged to jump down the mine.

The mine shaft was eight feet wide, and the surrounding rock walls were smooth. It looked like it was not dug by humans, but rather made by some kind of magic weapon.

Shu Han jumped down, and after descending about one hundred and ten feet, he finally landed at the bottom of the mine shaft.

The bottom of the mine shaft was a little hotter than the top. Looking from below, the eight-foot-wide mine shaft mouth turned into a small white dot.

There were many glowing stones shining in the mine shaft, and it was not dark.

A voice shouted: "What are you still standing there for! Come over here, be careful to be hit by other falling monks!"

Shu Han looked in the direction of the voice and saw a stall set up next to the mine shaft. The person guarding the stall was a monk in the early stage of foundation building.

Shu Han hurried over: "Greetings, senior!"

The man mechanically said: "There are 163 mine tunnels here, and there are countless branches below, crisscrossing and connecting into one piece. You should keep this map and don't get lost in it. No one will save you. No matter how long you stay below, if you want to get rewarded, you must dig up 100 spirit stones and hand them in with this map. Do you understand?"

Shu Han took the jade slip and asked in confusion: "How to use this map..."

"You...haven't used the jade slip before?"

"Sorry! Senior, he is new here and doesn't know the rules. I will teach him now."

At this time, Kang Guangwen and the other two also came down. After taking the map, they dragged Shu Han away.

Xie Ming picked up the jade slip and said: "Use mana to infuse it, and the map will naturally appear."

Shu Han and Lin Wenguang did as he was told, and the clear map surface appeared above the jade slip.

At this time, Shu Han realized how dense these tunnels below were, just like the fine roots of garlic in the ground, densely packed, crisscrossed, and each one was connected to each other, like a giant underground maze.

Without this map, if you are trapped in the maze-like tunnel below, you may never find the exit in your lifetime.

Kang Guangwen said: "If you want to dig ore, you have to go to the lowest branch of the tunnel. It is newly dug there and is most likely to dig spiritual stones. The other tunnels have been cleared long ago. You two should follow me and Lao Xie closely and don't get lost!"
