"Brothers, hurry up and get to work!" Uncle gradually shouted and raised the iron pickaxe.

Next, the sound of "clanging" sounded in the mine again, and it was denser than before.

These meta-concentrate ores are indeed strange, as long as the fighting spirit of the operation is less than the slightest bit, the ore is stronger than the steel, and it does not move at all. Once there was a little more fighting spirit in operation, the ore "snapped" again and turned into powder. As the saying goes, if you increase one point, you will more, and if you subtract one point, you will less, and it is required that miners must use their fighting spirit to the pinnacle.

Ye Feihua's mind is very alert, and Ye Feihua's control of his own fighting spirit has reached the level of being like an arm, so Ye Feihua has tested more than a dozen times with an iron pickaxe, and he has basically mastered the trick of mining.

After half an hour passed, Ye Feihua's movements were already as sophisticated as Uncle Gradual's and Hook's slow. Moreover, the pace of mining seems to be much faster than that of Uncle Zhi's gradual and slower hook. The ore, which was harder than steel, was chiseled off the rock bed piece by piece, like a radish skin, and then smashed like a dry lump of mud, revealing a small light green crystal, that is, the original ore.

Ye Feihua's mind was immersed in the wonderful experience of mining for the first time, and she completely forgot everything around her.

I don't know when, Uncle gradually and Hook stopped mining one after another, and the two of them looked at Ye Feihua in a daze, their faces full of surprise.

Perhaps sensing a hint of something unusual, after Ye Feihua smashed a piece of ore with a hammer, he did not immediately pick out the Yuan Jing in it, but turned his head and looked at Uncle Gradually.

"Uncle Brother, what's wrong?" Ye Feihua shouted.

"Little brother, are you really mining for the first time?" Uncle asked hesitantly.

"Yes! What's wrong? Ye Feihua stood up.

Uncle gradually glanced at each other, and the look of surprise on the faces of the two of them became even stronger.

"Little brother, what stage of cultivation have you reached?" I haven't spoken until now.

"I have just entered the Peiyuan period, and we are still in the first small stage." Ye Feihua replied casually.

After listening to Ye Feihua's answer, Uncle's expression changed at the same time, and the two of them glanced at each other again, and then bowed slightly towards Ye Feihua.

"Two big brothers, don't be so polite!" Ye Feihua hurriedly returned the salute.

Although the cultivation world powerhouse is respected, Ye Feihua only felt very uncomfortable when he saw the humility that Uncle gradually showed after knowing his rank.

"It turns out that the little brother is in the Peiyuan period, no wonder after just an hour, we old miners for many years can't compare to the little brother!" Uncle gradually said respectfully.

"This has nothing to do with the Peiyuan period, maybe I was born to be a mining material!" Ye Feihua said with a smile.

"Huh! My brother is really good at laughing! Uncle smiled stiffly, then pointed to the rock walls around him, frowned and said, "Among our old brothers, the highest level is only the third stage of the Qi Induction Period. Now that the rock bed has been mined, everyone has worked hard, and they have only dug one meter deep at the end of the day, and the harvest is pitiful, far from meeting the requirements set by the mining area. However, you are different, little brother. Little brother, you are a person from the Peiyuan period, and you can dig forward two meters deep in one breath, so you don't have to worry about not being able to complete the task at all. ”

Ye Feihua gently slapped the hammer and asked, "Brother Shu, is there anyone else in the Sixth Mine Road who has cultivated to the Peiyuan stage?" ”

"It's gone!" Uncle gradually shook his head.

Uncle gradually groaned for a moment, and then continued: "There are a total of about thirty people in the Sixth Mine Road, and the Ju Supervisor is in the third small stage of the Peiyuan Period, and the others are either in the Qi Induction Period or the Qi Acceptance Period. ”

"After cultivating to the Peiyuan stage, who will come to the mine to mine!" At this time, Gou slowly interjected.

"Really?" Ye Feihua asked rhetorically, then thought deeply and nodded.

When Ye Feihua's eyes touched his bright yellow miner's uniform, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

As far as the sect of the Principality of Qingshan is concerned, the monks of the Peiyuan period are released to the mortal world, and they can already take on the position of the commander of the army, and if it is not for public service or hard labor, they really will not succumb to the mines in the mining area.

"Little brother, dig slowly, we have to hurry!" With an iron pickaxe in one hand and a hammer in the other, Shu gradually walked a few steps to the side.

"Uncle Gradual, just now Rapp ...... Rapp said that every ten days I have to hand over one kilogram of Yuan Jing, is this my task? Ye Feihua asked.

"Yes! Everyone's task is the same. Uncle replied without looking back.

Uncle gradually looked up and down at the sand shale in front of him, as if looking for a suitable place to start.

"Uncle gradually big brother......" Ye Feihua shouted again.

Seeing that Uncle gradually began to work, Ye Feihua swallowed the next words.

"Little brother, what do you want to ask?" Uncle gradually looked back at Ye Feihua, and a sincere smile appeared on his face again.

"Huh! It's nothing! Didn't Brother Uncle say I dig fast, I'll help you dig later! Ye Feihua said with a smile.

After hearing this, Uncle was stunned for a moment, then smiled, don't overdo it. Obviously, Uncle gradually didn't believe what Ye Feihua said.

"Uncle Brother, I'm not joking, there are no tasks these days, I can help you two mine together." Ye Feihua said seriously.

"Huh! Then thank you brother in advance! Uncle gradually raised the pickaxe and chiseled down.

Uncle paused gradually, and then said: "Little brother, if you are new to the city, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." Uncle gradually knew everything. ”

"Okay! When the time comes, please ask Uncle gradually and Big Brother for more advice! Ye Feihua laughed loudly.

After Ye Feihua finished speaking, she walked to a place two meters away from Shu Yan and stopped.

Maybe it's because Shu Jian's temperament is quite honest and straightforward, or maybe it's Ye Feihua's gentleness and humility that won Shu Jian's favor, and after the two of them chatted a few words, there were more and more topics. Later, the hook next to him also interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and the three of them were laughing while "clanging" digging ore.

After a while, Ye Feihua became familiar with Uncle gradually and Hook Slow.

In the casual chat, Ye Feihua had a general understanding of the Heishui mining area and the sixth mine.

At present, there are six mining areas in the Heishui mining area, and there are 10 mining roads in each mining area, and about 30 miners are arranged in each mining area, plus the public officials in the mining area, and there are almost 2,000 people in the entire Heishui mining area. The three mining areas of Aoki, Hestystone, and Heishuihe are close to the redstone mining area of the Yunshan Principality, and most of the people who mine in these three mining areas are forced labor. Due to their proximity to the border and the long history of mining conflicts, the hard labor in these three mining areas is mostly fierce and ruthless. The three mining areas of Mangrove, Green, and Fengxingling are far away from the border, and the mining here is basically dominated by ordinary miners.

In the mortal world of the Terran Race on the Star Continent, it is every young man's dream to become a monk. However, the reality is cruel, and after strict screening, only a very small number of young people will be selected by the sect of the Federation or the Duchy. Although these lucky people who were selected by the sect could stand out among mortals, they could be said to be one in a hundred, but after they joined the sect, not all of them could achieve the same dazzling results in cultivation. Some people can make a splash and make great achievements in their cultivation; There are also people who are decent and move forward without hurrying; But many more people are struggling to move forward, and they are gradually reduced to mediocrity in cultivation. Such "more people" are unknown, and are usually sent by the sect to wherever they are needed, making silent contributions to the normal operation of the sect, such as the various levels of management in the mortal world, as well as all kinds of mining areas, and those where the outstanding do not bother to set foot in.

Uncle Graduals and Hook Slow belong to the group of "more people". As far as the original intention of Shu gradually and Gou Xuan is concerned, the two of them are very reluctant to become miners, but after the dispatch order of the sect is issued, the two of them have to come to the Heishui mining area. According to the instructions of the sect, two people must serve in the Heishui mining area for a certain number of years. If the performance is not good, this number of years may be extended indefinitely. The right to evaluate this "performance" is in the hands of Ju Ding, the supervisor of the mine.

The output of the Heishui mining area accounts for 60% of the total output of all the primary concentrate areas in the Principality of Castle Mountains. In order to achieve this goal, the mining area management department sets a minimum output for each mining area according to the actual situation of each mining area, and each mining area also sets a minimum output for each mine road below, and the mine supervisor will subdivide this minimum output into each miner in the mine road. For every miner in the sixth mine in the Fengxingling mining area, their task is to hand over one kilogram of yuan essence every ten days.

Uncle gradually stayed in the Sixth Mine for five years. For Uncle Gradually, although mining day after day is very hard, in addition to mining, it is also a kind of happiness to practice and play with a group of old brothers. But in the last two months, this kind of joy and suffering days have disappeared. Without him, just because the veins extended into the diamond bed, the output of Yuan Jing decreased sharply. Due to the inability to complete the tasks assigned above on time and in quantity, the entire Sixth Mine Road is now in an atmosphere of urgency. In particular, a few miners whose service is about to expire are even more anxious. Because, according to the current situation, it is very difficult to complete the task on time and in quantity, and if you can't complete the task, you won't be able to get the qualified assessment issued by Juding, and if you can't get the qualified assessment, you have to continue to stay in the mine indefinitely.

After Ye Feihua and Uncle gradually chatted for a while, the two of them stopped talking in unison.

Uncle gradually stepped up the excavation of ore.

Ye Feihua held on to the iron pickaxe and fell into contemplation.

"If it weren't for this damn King Kong Rock, maybe Ferry would have returned to the sect today!" Uncle gradually sighed suddenly.

Ferry was a brother of his uncle, and his service expired ten days ago. Due to the owe of four kilograms of yuanjing, Ferry has not been released by Ju Ding, and is still stranded in the mine.

"After he makes up the Yuan Jing he owes, presumably Supervisor Ju will not embarrass him." Ye Feihua said.

"Ju supervisors are straightforward people, as long as they complete the task, they usually don't make things difficult for others. However, now the situation is very bad, and I don't know how long it will take to make up the four kilograms of Yuan Jing. Uncle gradually sighed again.

"The matter has come to this, there is no other way but to be patient and dig little by little. I've survived ten or eight years, and I don't care about staying for another three or five months. Ye Feihua said.

"That's all there is to it!" Uncle gradually smiled helplessly.
