Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 113 Understanding and Determination

Chu Mu asked again: "What kind of mine is that, so evil?"

"Who knows!"

Wu Shuo waved his hand: "That thing is very evil!"

"It has been mined for so long, and so many people have died. According to the mine, up to now, at most, more than 2000 catties of mineral materials have been mined!"

"Besides, there aren't many veins left in that mine, and it's estimated that it can be dug out in just two months..."

"When this shit is over, we'll be back to normal!"

"I've done this, and I've been worrying about it all day long. Even the mining of iron ore is about to stop. If this continues, we'll all have to drink the northwest wind!"

"I don't know how many people in the county are counting on this iron mine to boil..."

Chu Mu retorted in a rare way: "In the current situation, it's good to stop for a while, lest the Li Family Immortal realize that it's another disaster."

After finishing speaking, Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "In our mine, so many mineral materials flow out every month, who is taking over?"

Chu Mu has really wondered about this question for a long time. At first, he thought it was the channel of those traveling merchants, but after learning the real details of this big network recently, this guess was completely rejected.

The reason is very simple, just because the amount of greedy ink is too large!

According to what he knew, at least [-]-[-]% of the mine's output was corrupted by interest groups in Qinghe County.

In a mine, thousands of corvees are mining day and night, and [-] to [-] percent of the annual output is corrupted. Such a huge output cannot be swallowed by small businessmen. There must be one or even several fixed channels to digest it.

Moreover, this channel must avoid the attention of the Nanshan Li family, a cultivating family.

After all, as far as he knew, whether it was the county magistrate or the thousands of households like Li Jinghong, they were all in this big net of interests.

"You know that person."

Chu Mu was surprised: "I know?"

"Yes, I'm just guessing, but I shouldn't be wrong."

Wu Shuo's expression became a little serious: "The old man in the Mingxintang that you often go to is not simple."

"Although there is no direct evidence that the old man is the mastermind behind several miners, it is absolutely inseparable..."

Chu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked:
"Isn't Mr. Li a pharmacist? How could he have anything to do with a miner?"

"I also discovered it by accident. One night before, I came out of Fengyue Tower and passed by Mingxintang. I accidentally ran into those miners coming out of Mingxintang, and I observed them for a long time..."

The corners of Chu Mu's mouth twitched slightly. If that's the case, Wu Shuo can still be alive, that's really fate!
Secretly check on a cultivator?
It's a good thing that Mr. Li is not someone who regards human life like nothing, otherwise, Wu Shuo has eight heads, probably not enough to lose them!

Immediately, Chu Mu was a little stunned again, so... Mr. Li has stayed in Nanshan Town for so many years, is it because of this iron mine?
Buy a large amount of smuggled mineral materials, and then sell them to the world of cultivating immortals?
Chu Mu pursed his lips, and he suddenly realized that in this era, the world of cultivating immortals has more control over the secular world than he imagined.

An ordinary iron mine, if it was mined privately in the feudal era of the previous life, there are obviously many undiscovered ones.

But in this era, dignified immortal cultivators have to pick up people's teeth and wisdom incognito for the sake of mineral materials.

This undoubtedly shows that even in other places, resources such as mineral materials must be controlled by immortal cultivators. Otherwise, they can just find an iron ore that no one mines and mine it by themselves, so why bother.

but………

After thinking about it, Chu Mu was a little confused. Judging from his current cognition, whether it is plant medicinal materials or mineral materials, they are obviously divided into two concepts: secular world and immortal cultivation world.

Plant medicinal materials, are there "spiritual plants" that exceed their own growth limits?
Chu Mu didn't know if there was a mistake in the name, but it probably meant that.

As for the mineral materials, the iron mine in Nanshan, the mysterious mineral materials, clearly revealed the difference from the common mineral materials.

This is obviously unlikely to be an example, that is to say, mineral materials are also divided into secular mineral materials and "spiritual mines"?
Common plant medicinal materials are obviously not precious, even as far as he is concerned, they are at best just a little bit of money.

Are secular mineral materials also in great demand for immortal cultivators?
It seems, really?
Chu Mu suddenly thought of the news he had inquired about before.

In the surrounding areas of Qinghe County, wherever there are mineral deposits, they are all mined like this Nanshan Iron Mine.

You can see the leopard in the tube, and it should be the same in other places.

This obviously clearly shows the fact that even if it is ordinary mineral materials, the world of cultivating immortals obviously needs a lot of them.

The large demand for mineral materials must have a huge market that can be digested.

Why was there a large demand for mineral materials in the previous life?
Is that because of the development of industrialization?

It is the root cause, but in the final analysis, it is not because of the need for external force brought about by the fragility of human beings.

In the world of cultivating immortals, great power is concentrated on itself...

The expectation in Chu Mu's heart seemed to be a little stronger.

This world of cultivating immortals may really be different from what he thought...

……

It wasn't until night fell that Chu Mu walked out of Wu Shuo's mansion.

The sky is dim, and there are no stars to be seen, only the bright moon, which is covered by dark clouds, is still emitting light to the earth.

The evening breeze is cool and refreshing.

Chu Mu's originally impetuous heart gradually settled down under the evening wind.

Right now, everything is clear.

Chu Mu raised his head and looked at the night sky. The bright moon covered by dark clouds had slowly revealed its full view.

Just like coming to him, all the fog that shrouded him in this world has dissipated.

Chu Mu looked around at the peaceful town in front of him, and at the mine where there were flashes of fire.

He knew that it would not be long before a bigger storm would once again cover this town and this mine.

And after the storm, no matter who wins or loses, the impact on Nanshan Town and Nanshan Iron Mine will definitely be extremely far-reaching.

As for him, Chu Mu, it was obviously impossible to get millet from the fire.

He has neither the qualification nor the idea.

All he has to do is to be wise and protect himself.

How to protect yourself wisely?
The only option is to leave, to leave his small town, which is about to become a safe haven.

Once again step into another strange land, strange people, strange things, strange environment...

Chu Mu looked at the light curtain panel in his field of vision, and each item of data clearly proved his persistence after coming to this world.

And it's an obsession that I never had in my previous life, studying hard...

Until now, he has accumulated a little capital.

The world is so big, as long as it is secular, he can go there.

In the dark of night, Chu Mu walked alone on the street, his pace was not fast, his thoughts were racing...
