On the second day, as usual, Zhongli, who had eaten steamed buns, began to enter the mine along with the other miners.

I found Cave 67 and entered with a torch and a spirit shovel, but I didn't see Ma Yun.

After walking about a mile into the cave, I came across a fork in the road and was deciding how to choose the direction.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"It's me!"

Hearing Senior Brother Ma's voice, Zhongli quickly turned around.

As soon as he wanted to talk, he saw Ma Yun walking forward, so he had to follow, Ma Yun walked very fast, and Zhongli never had a chance to ask.

After walking for about half an hour, Ma Yun stopped and beckoned like Zhongli.

Zhongli walked to his side and was about to speak, only to see Ma Yun knock on the potholed wall five times, three long and two short.

When Zhongli was curious, he saw a crack in the wall slowly open, and it turned out to be a stone door.

Ma Yun flashed in, and Zhongli had to hurry up.

When Zhongli enters, he finds that it is a passage that leads deep underground.

"Senior Brother Ma, what kind of place is this?" Zhongli asked curiously.

"Just follow me. Ma Yun didn't answer and continued to walk forward.

Zhongli looked at the dark passage with no fingers, presumably Senior Brother Ma would not harm himself, gritted his teeth, and followed.

After walking for only a dozen meters, I came to the end, which was a small hole.

After seeing his surroundings with the help of the faint firelight, Zhongli found that there was another person besides Ma Yun.

And he was looking at himself, with a beard on his face, and he was also wearing the costume of a mining slave, and Ma Yun was standing with him.

Zhongli was about to speak, but the person on the other side had already spoken first.

"Ma Yun, is this guy you telling me?"

Although he has been in the mining area for three months, he is disgraced every day, but he can no longer hide Zhongli's immature age, and the other party clearly does not believe Zhongli.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is my junior brother Zhongli, and this is my friend Mu Yuxuan. ”

Mu Yuxuan is the friend Ma Yun met in the Lingkuang area a month ago.

The two have known each other three years ago, and during a mission to the sect, Ma Yun unexpectedly discovered an ancient ruin.

After entering the ruins, encountering the battle between Mu Yuxuan and the spirit beast guarding the ruins, Ma Yun did not choose to sneak attack but drew his sword to help.

Both of them are temperamental people, and after killing the spirit beast together, they directly worshiped the handle, which can be regarded as a friend of life and death, and Ma Yun's Lei Li knife was obtained in that ruins.

It's a pity that not long after returning to the sect, there were two major battles, and after that, Mu Yuxuan also disappeared, and he was never seen again, but he didn't expect that he was caught by the Biyun Sect and brought to the spirit mining area.

"Senior Brother Zhong, do you know why I brought you here?"

Since Ma Yun and Mu Yuxuan met, they hit it off, and the two began to plan how to escape.

Although Mu Yuxuan is a casual cultivator, he specializes in formations, and he happens to know a formation, which can greatly improve people's spiritual power in a short period of time.

The two of them just wanted to use this formation to make a mid-level monk in the Mortal Martial Realm remove the Spirit Breaking Nail for them and restore their strength.

As for the huge heaven and earth aura gathered when they broke through, the two of them also thought of a way, so in less than a month, they dug this hole.

Although the miners will be adjusted every three times, and some people will be transferred elsewhere, the two have their own ways to stay.

The deacons in the Spirit Mining District are fat, and there are many corrupt deacons among them, as long as they don't move their roots, the elders sitting in the formation will also turn a blind eye.

Therefore, as long as the relationship is good, there is no shortage of people who dominate and oppress others among the mine slaves.

As for whether Zhongli could break through to the middle level of the Mortal Martial Realm here, it was entirely up to him.

After listening to Ma Yun's explanation, Zhongli understood why Ma Yun was so excited last night.

But when he broke through to the middle level of the Mortal Martial Realm, did Senior Brother Ma think too highly of himself.

"Zhongli, from today onwards, you can die!"

Mu Yuxuan said coldly beside him, startling Zhongli.

"What Mu Yuxuan means is that from today onwards, you will stay here and implement our plan. Ma Yun explained.

At night, the mine will be temporarily closed, and the Biyun Sect will put a vicious spirit beast into the mine, if someone can't complete the task, in order to avoid whipping, stay in the cave, it will become food for the evil beast.

If it hadn't appeared on the second day, the Biyun Sect would have thought that Zhongli was dead.

The spirit mining area is more realistic than in the outside world, and there are many mine slaves who huddle together to keep warm, bully others, and secretly kill people in order to compete for spirit stones to complete the task.

And if you stay here, you don't have to worry about being discovered after cultivating, and you don't have to think about the tasks arranged by the Biyun Sect.

In the mine where you can see the lower grade spirit stones everywhere, the aura of heaven and earth is also more vigorous, and the cultivation efficiency is higher.

"As for the issue of food, Mu Yuxuan and I will secretly bring it to you every day. Ma Yun said.

"Although there is no breaking elixir, no one has used spiritual power to stabilize the realm breakthrough for you. ”

"But I believe in you! The real strong are always on their own!"

Zhongli looked at Ma Yun's sincere eyes, although he knew that Senior Brother Ma was encouraging him, but he also had a burst of enthusiasm.

I remembered the duel between the sect master and the Divine Sword Sect, the strong! I must become a strong! Perhaps, this is the blood nature of men!

In fact, Ma Yun is not all about comforting Zhongli, many casual cultivators do not have a teacher, and they all rely on themselves to break through.

Although there is no fixed cultivation system of the sect, and there is no good spiritual skill, the casual cultivation that can reach the peak is all people with great perseverance.

It's really hard to tell which is stronger and which is weak.

......

"Hey, fatty, where are the spirit stones handed in today?"

The fat man, who was about to quietly leave the mine, heard a voice from behind.

Although the fat man was chubby, after all, he was only fourteen years old, and he was picked up by the big man with his back collar in one hand.

There was a scar on the big man's face, from his eyebrows to his chin, but it was not a one-eyed dragon, and the scar was densely twisted like a centipede.

Scarface was also marked with a broken spirit nail, but it was a rare physical cultivation, although he couldn't use his spiritual skills, he dominated with a strong body.

Followed by four or five people, they are the overlords of the northwest mining area, specializing in oppressing others, currying favor with deacons in exchange for benefits.

Since separating from Zhongli, the fat man has not been so lucky, not only has he to hand over ten lower grade spirit stones to Biyun Sect every day, but every time before leaving the mine, he will be asked by Scarface and his party.

"Brother Huo, I found nine lower-grade spirit stones today, and I can't complete the task, if I hand over two more to you, I will receive three lashes from the deacon, and I will be beaten to death. ”

The fat man looked aggrieved, looked at Scarface with tears in his eyes and said, I am usually bullied a lot, but when I saw several people with Scarface, his legs trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"If you can't complete the task, what's my business, if everyone is like you, the rules will be broken!"

Scarface snorted coldly, spread out his right hand, and motioned for the fat man to hurry up and hand over the spirit stone.

"Brother Huo, what nonsense to talk to this kid, if you don't bring it, you will rob it all, let him go out and be beaten to death by the deacon, just to make an example of the chicken!"

A person behind Scarface said flatteringly, with a flattering expression.

Scarface glanced coldly behind him, he has his own rules, if he breaks the rules, how can he serve the public.

The fat man was weak, and at this time, looking at the scarred face and the eyes of several people around him, he sobbed angrily, and finally handed over two lower grade spirit stones out.

The fat man, who chose to compromise, did not walk out of the mine this time, but walked in again, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

"Brother Huo, that kid is crazy. Scarface said to a man next to him.

Scarface frowned, it was almost time to close the mine, and at this time, if you want to dig the spirit stone, you can't.

Scarface has always had his own rules for doing things, and it is impossible to change them for the sake of the fat man, and if the fat man finds his own death, he will not care.

"Coward!"

A sneer came through the fat man's head.

"It's just a few ants, and you almost peed your pants in fright, tsk, if you're willing to lend me your body..."

The fat man continued to go deeper, until he came to a dark passage, threw the spirit shovel and torch in his hand, and stopped sobbing, and the fat man looked particularly gloomy at this moment.

"I want revenge, I don't want to be bullied again! I'm not a coward, no, I'm not!"

The fat man opened his hands and shouted excitedly: "Don't you want to occupy my body!

With the shout of the fat man, a gust of wind rose from the originally quiet passage, and with the cry of the wind, a dazzling white light came from the depths of the passage, shining the entire passage.

The originally dark passage was not terrifying, but now it was like the throat of the hellhound, and the originally pitted walls became extremely smooth as the white light passed.

The rubble that fell in the passage was swallowed up and annihilated by white light before it hit the ground.

At this moment, the fat man gritted his teeth with a resolute face, and as the white light continued to drill into his body, the whole person was suspended in mid-air, roaring in pain, but he couldn't make any sound, which was extremely weird.
