Aspiring to the Immortal Path

After the conversation, Qiu Shuyu led Tang Jie Zhang Taixu up the mountain.

Shi Sect set up a rich lunch for Tang and Zhang in Paine as early as the hospitality.

After drinking three rounds, Tang Jie has gradually learned some local conditions.

There were originally three Immortal Sects in the Yongsui Mountain area, but since the discovery of the mineral veins, the Shi Sect became so strong that it gradually crushed the other two Sects, and one of them was simply forced out of this place. Only with the depletion of the mineral veins, the good days of Shi Sect are about to end.

At the banquet, Qiu Shuyu was even more embarrassed when he said this, and said to Tang Jie: "Relying on this mineral vein in these years, Shi Sect has indeed gained a lot of benefits. But in order to protect the mineral vein, it is also offensive. Shao Xiaoren. Back then, the Yuhua Sect wanted to steal the mine. Sect fought with them for three times. There were countless casualties and dísciples. Even I myself was badly injured, so I was able to hold this mine. , Heaven and Earth can be a lesson!"

The Yuhua faction is the Sect that was driven away by Shi Sect. Tang Jie knows that Shi Sect has indeed played several games with Yuhua faction. As for whether it is to defend Mine, this matter is hard to say. From the actual situation, it is more like a fight for control of the Yongsui Mountain area.

As far as Moonwash Sect is concerned, everyone in this mine is the same, anyway, as long as you give them 80% of the income. Even if the Yuhua faction really seizes the mineral vein, it will only take the share of the stone Sect, and they dare not wipe the share of the Moonwash Sect for their courage. So even if Shi Sect is fighting for mine defense, it is not fighting for Moonwash Sect, but for themselves. Qiu Shuyu's words are just showing loyalty and taking the opportunity to ask for a price.

Sure enough, Qiu Shuyu said: "However, I recently heard that the Yuhua faction is not dead, and has been waiting for opportunities to retaliate. Now that the mineral veins are exhausted, Shi Sect may not be able to maintain the current family business. It is necessary. Some shrinking, then I am afraid that I will give these thieves a chance."

Sighing with a sigh.

Tang Jie was amused, and said: "The defeated general is not brave. I think he is definitely not the opponent of Shi Sect. Master Qiu taught me too much."

Qiu Shuyu grasped the wind of words.

Qiu Shuyu saw that the other party remained unmoved, so he could only smile in embarrassment and stopped speaking.

For a while, Tang Jie wiped his mouth and said, "I have eaten and eaten. Let's do business. Please also ask the palm to take me to the mine."

Qiu Shuyu hurriedly said: "Young Master, why bother, play in my stone Sect for a few days before going to see it."

Tang Jie shook his head: "No, I still have something to do. If you do, it’s best to finish the matter today."

She stood up as she said.

Qiu Shuyu saw his resolute attitude, so he could only agree. Before leaving, Qiu Shuyu stuffed Tang Jie with a mustard bag. Tang Jie opened it and saw that it was filled with Spirit Stone. Estimate the value. , No less than one hundred thousand.

Tang Jie smiled, but returned the mustard bag.

Qiu Shuyu hurriedly said: "This is just a little bit of Shi Sect, and has no intention of buying."

Tang Jie only resolutely shook his head, Qiu Shuyu could only take it back, and took him there. Where the veins are located.

Spirit Stone Ore Vein is located at Baile Peak of Yongsui Mountain, only five miles away from the stone gate peak. Qiu Shuyu Tang Jie and the others flew all the way and soon came to the mine. From a distance, I saw crowds in the mine vein.

Qiu Shuyu was about to fall there, but Tang Jie said with a smile: "Don’t worry about disturbing them, I want to see the situation first."

Qiu Shuyu heard him say so, Can only nodded agree, everyone fell far away and approached on foot.

The entrance of the mine is always the most lively place.

A middle aged scholar with three-handed rat whiskers is sitting behind a book case. There is a long line in front of the case, full of ragged miners holding mining picks. There are also some teenagers who are only more than ten years old.

Everyone still carried a basket on their backs, and the miners took out pieces of jade-colored stones of various sizes from the basket, which was the Spirit Stone. These are just source stones and need to be polished and processed before they can be used. Nevertheless, through the thin stone clothing, you can still feel the energy fluctuations contained in them.

The miners handed the source stone to the middle aged scholar, and someone next to it came forward to weigh it.

"Twenty-four catties of inferior ore, and one catty of middle grade ore, you can get two silver coins and nine cents." The middle aged scholar said, counting out some copper coins and handing them to the other party.

The miner exclaimed with dissatisfaction: "This medium-quality piece is obviously two catties, how can it become one catty?"

The middle aged scholar snorted coldly: "Shut up, Useless things, no matter how loud they are, let you go!"

Spirit Stone Mine also has quality points. According to the standards set by Six Great Sects, they are extremely high, middle and low Grade 4. Mine harvesting is also based on this standard. Among them, the cheapest ore is the cheapest, with only one silver per ten catties of source stone, five bucks for middle grade ore, three taels for high grade, and twenty taels for top grade.

In the world of repair, ten catties of low grade source stone can produce about one piece of low grade Spirit Stone, and the price of one piece of low grade Spirit Stone is about 200 spirit coins. Even if the black market price is not considered, this conversion ratio It is also one to two thousand.

This is the difference between a cultivator and a mortal. Between immortals and mortals, the former will always exploit the latter’s labor.

Finding spirit mines is extremely tiring and dangerous. Mines are never safe, and there are always various risks hidden in them. Even if the practitioners enter, they will often encounter unpredictable disasters. Therefore, all matters of mining were left to mortals. For most of the poor, mining is dangerous, but the benefits are not low. If you get one or two good mines with good luck, you are likely to get rid of the poor fate, so they are willing to go to the mines at risk, but even so, they will suffer from all aspects of exploitation.

The deduction of middle aged scholars is one aspect, and the deduction of foremen in the mine is also indispensable.

Under normal working conditions, it is not a problem for miners to get five cents a day on average, but three deductions and two deductions often leave only two or three cents.

At this moment, the miner knew that he couldn't help but left in annoyance. After the miner was a young man, also carrying the mine basket, came to the scribes case and dumped the mine basket, but he rolled out a lot of source stones.

I can't see that this kid is thin and weak, but he dug a lot of mines.

The scribe saw that it was an unprecedented smile: "Remnants, today’s harvest is okay."

The boy just looked at the scribe coldly. say.

The scribe's face suddenly sank. The person weighing next to him has not yet spoken. The middle aged scholar has said, "Ten catties for low grade, and one coin for silver."

As soon as this word came out, there was an uproar in the crowd.

The source stone poured out by this young man can be found to be at least 30 kilograms or more even by looking at it, and two of them have special luster and are obviously of medium variety. They were wiped out by the middle aged scholar in one bite. I only counted a ten catty low grade, which is too black to add to the situation.

Behind the miners were already angrily said: "This is simply not giving people a way to survive."

"Who said that they don't give people a way to survive?" The middle aged scholar snorted coldly. Get up: "One coin is enough for his siblings to eat and drink for three days at least. I have offended Young Master. There are not many people who can live to this day. Xizhan, you should go back and think about it. , Send your younger sister to Jin Young Master as soon as possible, and things will turn around. Otherwise, I can use a penny to collect your mine today, but I won't even give you a penny tomorrow!"

The young man just glanced at the middle aged scholar coldly, and said, "Wu Heixin, you are dreaming."

"What did you say?" The middle aged scholar heard this furious.

He presided over mining in this vein. He has always been greedy for ink. He didn't know how much hard-earned money the miners had. I didn't expect to be called out by the boy, I was furious, I wanted to teach this boy, but I remembered the boy's fame. Knowing that this child is brave and never afraid of death, he worked with the foremen as early as in the mine. After a few fights and gaining some prestige, now those foremen who specialize in exploitation are not willing to provoke him very much, and they are also the least to search him, which is why they can surrender more ore every time.

I am too close to this kid now. I really want to fight against my disadvantage, and I will bear it.

The middle aged scholar thought, glaring at him, and the boy had already left with his own money.

Seeing that the young man is far away, the middle aged scholar cried out: "You gang is blind? Didn't you see that kid abuse me? Don't take him down!"

Behind him, several big men with round waists and bladder have rushed at the young man at the same time.

The young man named Xi Canhen turned his head and ran away. Several thugs saw that he was about to run and chased him tighter. Just when he was about to catch up, the young man suddenly flashed and grabbed a stick beside him. Tie Zhu whirled in the air and was kicking a brawny man in the face.

This round of kick was not light, and he knocked the brawny man directly to the ground.

The young man has landed lightly, turned around and ran again, suddenly grabbed a small stone platform beside him, slammed it back, and hit another brawny man on the foot. Of the four brawny men who were chasing, there were only two left, but this blockade also put the boy in a dangerous situation.

A brawny man caught the teenager first, said with a malicious smile: "Good boy, see where you are going this time!"

didn't expect he didn't say anything After that, the young man turned around and a two dragon grabbed the bead, poking him in the eye. This was anxious and ruthless, completely in a posture that he wanted to gouge out his eyes. The painful man covered his eyes and screamed, closing his hands and backing away.

At the same time, another brawny man has punched the young man behind him.

The young man was beaten by the brawny man and he staggered and fell out. The blood was already bleeding out of his mouth. The black brawny man embraced the young man with his big arms, and his arms hugged the young man like iron hoops. Unable to move, and kept tightening, it seemed that he was trying to strangle the young man.

The two brawny men who had been caught up here also greeted him, seeing that the angry look almost tore the young man to pieces. At this moment, a ray of brilliance flashed across the boy's body. At the same time when this brilliance emerged, the arms of the brawny man who was holding him were stretched out. At the same time, the young man flew his legs and kicked them on the two people who were approaching him. Another pair of flying feet knocked them down. , Hitting his head back, hitting the bridge of the brawny man's nose that hugged him, the painful man wailed and covered his face.

All four of them were cheated on their faces. At this moment, they covered their faces with pain, and they were stunned.

The young man walked back to the middle aged scholar again, coldly said: "Wu Heixin, before Young Master Kim kills me, I can actually kill you first. So... "

He beckoned to the scribe, the middle aged scholar shivered, already offering the money that he had stolen again.

The young man looked at the silver, satisfied that he was nodded, and said: "For the sake of collecting mines, I won't knock you out."

"What?" middle As soon as the aged scholar was dumbfounded, the boy had already smashed the middle aged scholar's stomach with a punch, and his face was deformed due to the pain.

Wu Wenshi twisted his face and said: "You...Hello..."

He hissed, "Guard, guard!"

Famous miners have already pushed the young man one after another: "Remnant, hurry up, you have committed Wu Heixin, and the Iron Guard is coming."

The young man was nodded, turned his head and ran.

Out of the mine, two black-armored puppets have appeared, they are the Profound Armor soldiers of Moonwash Sect.

Along with the Profound Armor war pawn, there is also a stone sect disciple. Seeing the young man, coldly snorted: "Xianghen, it is you again. You will really cause trouble."

p>

With a wave of his hand, the two Profound Armor pawns have been chasing the young man.

The young man turned his head and ran when he saw this.

The stone sect disciple gradually became impatient. He took out a big sword without a sharp edge, pinched the seal and pointed at the boy: "go!"

The big sword is here There was a sharp whistle in the air and chased away.

Although this sword has no edge, it has a mighty force. Once it hits, even a stone can crash into powder, the young man will never survive.

The young man was also shocked when he saw it, but he couldn't hide it anyway, he was about to lose his life, saw a flash suddenly, and a silhouette appeared in front of him.

A hand that appeared horizontally was grasping on the big sword without front, strong and steady, the blade bulged with an unwilling whisper, but couldn't get rid of the entanglement of that hand.

The young man escaped from the dead, already lying on the ground panting.

Only then did he find a young man standing in front of him, smiling at himself.

"Who, what a courage!" The stone sect disciple was very annoyed when he saw someone attacking him to destroy his spell.

I was about to step forward to teach, but saw a few more people appear, the first one was even more at the stone gate dísciple, dumbfounded on the spot.

He first rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was right, then pushed Jinshan down to his knees like a jade pillar, yellowed: "dísciple Chu Junyu has seen the master teacher, the Second Uncle ancestor, the third Ancestor Master, Fourth Grand-Uncle!"

With this call, everyone around all around was shocked.

It was actually the head teacher Shi Sect who arrived in person?

For those mortals, Qiu Shuyu is no different from the existence of gods.

Next moment, I will listen to shuaa~ There is a sound, and a crowd of people are already kneeling down.

Then I heard two bangs.

But the two puppets were still chasing the young man. They were beaten by Tang Jie with two punches. By the way, they turned off the control array of the Profound Armor pawns, making them unable to move. Then he said, "Before you kneel next time. , Remember to stop first."

Then Chu Junyu blushed and said angrily: "Who are you, how dare you..."

"Shut up!" Qiu Shuyu has already He scolded: "This is the Admiral of Washing the Moon, Tang Jie Young Master Tang, don’t pay respect yet."

"The Admiral of Washing the Moon?" Chu Junyu was taken aback and hurriedly said to Tang Jie. : "I have seen Young Master Tang."

Tang Jie Shi Shiran came over: "You don't need to be polite, it looks like you are quite busy."

Chu Junyu hurriedly said:" Don’t dare, it’s just that these spooky people are too fond of making troubles. They know that they are making trouble all day long. If there is no thunder, they will be repeated at every turn."

Tang Jie nodded: "If there is no thunder, I would like to repeat this at every turn. Yes, the more crowded the place, the easier it is to make trouble. This is not false."

Hearing his approval, Chu Junyu was overjoyed.

"But..."

This just caused Chu Junyu's heart to fall to the bottom immediately.

Tang Jie leisurely said: "Does not distinguish between green and red, does not ask right and wrong, regardless of the root cause, is it really the way to solve the problem?"

Chu Junyu and the middle aged scholar are already scared to the point of shivering, Tang Jie’s meaning is clearly saying that middle aged scholar is the source of the problem.

Sure enough, some active miners yelled after hearing this: "Yes, this is Wu Heixin, who exploits me every day, scraping the ground three feet, extremely unscrupulous."

Then Wu Hei was shocked, thinking that it was broken, and was about to sue, but Tang Jie raised his hand: "I am not Master Qingtian, and I am not here to be ordered to explore the lives of miners. What wrongs do you have? Don't shout to me."

As soon as this was said, everyone felt a chill. On the contrary, Wu Heixin felt relieved. Even Qiu Shuyu couldn't help but admire Tang Jie's ability to do things and not good at power.

Actually, the deduction of miners is common everywhere, and it may not be surprising here.

There must be worms in the storehouse of rice grains, and there must be large rats in the storehouse full of gluttons.

As far as the immortal party is concerned, the subordinates are not honest, and greed of ink is inevitable. In this case, instead of looking for the one who is not greedy, it is better to find the useful one, not to mention that there is another magical effect at the critical moment.

This Wu Xiucai is flexible and easy to use. He never forgets to make a confession every year, so he has been using it till now.

Although Tang Jie is not responsible for the affairs here, but in the face of his ambassador, Qiu Shuyu will certainly not protect Wu Xiucai, and offend Tang Jie for a mortal, but he must despise his excessive prosperity in his heart. Justice.

Now that Tang Jie has not done this, Qiu Shuyu has a lot of affection for him.

"But what..." didn't expect Tang Jie to add these three words again.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Heixin was heart startled, even Qiu Shuyu couldn't help but bitterly laughed. Can't you speak well if you think you brat? Can you stop panting so much?

Tang Jie has said: "Anyway, the miners are also people under Wenxin's rule, and are blessed by my Moonwash Sect. If the people live in a poor life, wouldn't it also appear that my Moonwash Sect is incompetent?"

As soon as this big hat came out, everyone became discolored.

Tang Jie has said again: "Besides this kid is greedy, there must be a lot of it. If you send someone to check it, you will find that the family wealth is huge..."

He didn't say any more. Going down, Qiu Shuyu has understood what he meant, and laughed heartily: "What Young Master Tang said is, in fact, sometimes they have to give the people an explanation. I will appoint another person to take up the position of mine collection when I look back. As for this person, I will check back. Just look at how much he has gained and punish him."

Then he lowered his voice and said: "Young Master has done a great job in discovering the corrupting moth for me, and I must be grateful for it. "

As I said, I have stretched out three fingers, which means that after copying Wu Xiucai's home, 30% of the benefits go to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie smiled and did not speak.

This time, he accepted the money unceremoniously.

Then Xiucai Wu complexion greatly changed: "Teacher Qiu, no!"

He has collected ore for Shi Sect over the years. Although he has made a lot of benefits, he has quite a lot of benefits. Part of it was given to Shi Sect, Zhang Taixu and the others, but now Qiu Shuyu wants to receive it all at once, which is equivalent to making him confess his sins.

He doesn't know that, in Shi Sect's eyes, people like him are like a pig, and they can be slaughtered when they are fattened up. 80% of the benefits gained from the mines have to be handed over to Moonwash Sect, and the benefits gained from Wu Xiucai are reaped, but they can all belong to oneself.

In this regard, Wu Xiucai is a useful tool. Through his greed for ink and sucking marrow down, Shi Sect can get a lot of extra benefits, but at best it is not strictly supervised. It is not considered by Moonwash Sect to be a dedication due to greed and ink.

The arrival of Tang Jie only made Wu Xiucai unlucky earlier. Without him, this pig would actually have to be killed sooner or later.

At this moment, Wu Xiucai was dealt with. Tang Jie came to the miners and loudly said: "I, Tang Jie, came to explore the mine on the order of Moonwash Sect. I need a guide. Learn about the mine here. If the situation comes to the fore, if you perform well, you can get a reward of fine silver hundred taels."

As soon as these words came out, many people were immediately moved and said that they could be a guide. Stood up. He is right next to Tang Jie, so it is convenient to speak, and he said directly: "No one in this mine is more familiar than me, but you have to use me as a guide. I have a condition."

Tang Jie look Look at the boy: "I just saved you, you will negotiate with me?"

The boy's face flushed red: "I don't want your silver, so you have to promise me one thing. This mine There are crises everywhere in the cave, and no one is more familiar than me. If you don’t believe me, ask them, who has mined the most mines in the past few years!"

If he said you ask them if I am not The most familiar, most of the miners will yell that I am no worse than you, but he shouted who mines the most. All the miners were instantly dumb. Obviously, no one can compare to a teenager in this matter.

Tang Jie nodded: "It sounds like you really have two things, what do you want?"

The young man boldly said: "Then Jin Family Young Master has taken a fancy to my younger sister If you want to accept her as a concubine, you must be a great person. I think you will help me deal with Jin Family."

Tang Jie turned around and asked loudly: "Who is Jin Family?"

Zhang Taixu replied: "There is a mortal family in this area. There are many shops in the nearby towns that are run by his family. There are some thugs under his hand, including a Spirit Master. It's still a bit of power, and it can be considered A well-known local tyrant."

Although this last sentence is superfluous, it is aimed at Tang Jie's needs.

Tang Jie nodded, turned to the boy and said: "I can only guarantee that he will not get your younger sister, and you have to promise me a condition."

these two people each other It's addictive to mention the conditions.

The boy asked: "What are the conditions?"

Tang Jie has brought the boy aside, and whispered in his ear: "Let you open the treasure or cheats of Jade Gate. "

As soon as these words came out, the young man's complexion greatly changed, and he immediately realized that he had been attacked by four brawny man before, and he was spotted by the man in front of him. If people know that he can actually cultivation, I'm afraid it will immediately be ruthless to snatch and kill people. When I think of this, Tang Jie's face is full of fear.

Tang Jie still looked at him with a smile, as if telling him that he would not take his treasure, only exchange.

The young man settled down and finally said: "Then I have to add a condition."

This is really adding to the conditions.

Tang Jie asked: "What?"

"Teach me cultivation."

"This is not difficult, but it also depends on the value of things. High, the more I can do for you."

The boy secretly stuffed something into Tang Jie's hands.

As soon as this thing got in hand, Tang Jie's mind was frightened, and he asked, "Where did you get it?"

"In the mine." The boy replied, "But Only I know where that place is."

Tang Jie nodded, put away things calmly: "I am covered with the matter of monasticism."

"That Jin What about Family?"

"There won't be any Jin Family anymore."
