Suspicion flashed in Meng Miqing's heart, but thinking that the original Meng Miqing in her memory was unhappy, this cheap second brother seemed to like to coax her with all kinds of food, but as she got older, the original Meng Miqing became more and more annoying.

Later, this cheap second brother would send her cultivation pills, and rarely sent desserts.

Thinking of this, Meng Mizhu frowned, and said unhappily: "Second brother, I am no longer a child, you don't have to use these to coax me." ”

"Little sister, the second brother just wants you to be as happy as before, you don't have to have a cold face all day long, come and taste it, it tastes good."

Hearing this, Meng Miqing had no choice but to get out of the way and let Meng Mizhu enter the room with a plate.

In order to deal with Meng Mizhu, Meng Mi lightly picked up a piece of pastry and ate a piece.

The fragrant pastry is wrapped in bright red jam and has a sweet and sour taste.

"It's delicious, it's a new pastry from the kitchen."

Meng Mizhu smiled, said a few more words and left Meng Miqing's courtyard.

It's just that as soon as he returned to his yard, the smile on Meng Mizhu's face disappeared completely, and only the cold in his eyes remained.

She's really not his little sister anymore!

Xiaomei went out with her cousin in the clan since she was a child, but she was chased and killed, and her cousin died tragically in front of her eyes, and she was rescued in time by her father.

But after that, Xiaomei could no longer eat this bright red jam, although as she grew older, she could control herself, and this jam would be eaten occasionally.

Father and eldest brother didn't know, they just thought that she had adapted to it, and occasionally when they ate together, they would let people prepare these desserts, but he knew that every time the little sister ate this bright red jam, her little finger would involuntarily tremble, and the amplitude was very small, and it was difficult to see.

And the little sister rarely eats, and it is even more difficult to notice, and even the little sister herself probably doesn't know about it.

But today, Xiaomei's eyes were very calm, without the slightest change, and her little thumb did not tremble.

Meng Mizhu frowned, he already believed his father's words, and only waited for the eldest brother to come back, if the eldest brother was ......

A courtyard has been built on the mountain behind the red iron mine, and it is claimed to be a place for the children of the clan to cultivate, and no child is allowed to enter.

The red iron mine is guarded by children all around, so outsiders generally can't enter.

There are several rooms in the courtyard, and there are hidden prohibitions arranged around the courtyard, and as long as anyone approaches, the people in the room will notice.

After Qiao Shi walked into a room, he saw the second elder guarding the room.

"Patriarch, you're here."

As soon as he saw Qiao Shi coming, a flattering smile suddenly appeared on the second elder's face.

is a typical bully of the weak and afraid of the hard, but the second elder's sincerity towards the family is undeniable.

"How's the mining?"

She wasn't there during this time, and she didn't know what was going on in it.

"Haven't you found anything yet?"

The second elder shook his head, Qiao Shi heard that he planned to go in and take a look, it didn't make sense that he hadn't dug up something for so many days, and the disciple of the Chi family in the previous life easily smashed out a piece of red iron crystal with one punch.

"I'll go in and have a look."

The second elder immediately opened the entrance of the tunnel, Qiao Shi stepped into this deep tunnel, and the second elder cautiously closed the entrance of the tunnel, and carefully disguised it, so that he pretended to cultivate again.

Perhaps because of the region, there are more fire and gold monks in Liyue country, and there are more monks in the Meng family who are also fire and gold elements, but there are fewer wood spirit roots.

The Second Elder also possessed the Golden Spirit Root, so there was nothing wrong with cultivating here.

The passage was diagonally facing down, all dug by several elders, and through the long passage, Qiao Shi's eyes lit up, and he appeared in a basement, and there was a dim passage around the basement, and these passages were left by several elders who had dug up red iron crystals in the past few days.

The four elders of the Great Elder were all there, their brows furrowed and they didn't know what they were thinking, while the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder were dealing with the affairs of the family.

"Patriarch."

Seeing Qiao Shi coming, the two of them all walked over, and the four elders took the lead in speaking.

"Patriarch, we haven't dug for so long, is there a problem with the direction?"

"No, it won't."

Qiao Shi shook her head, she didn't have a golden spirit root, and her feelings for the gold element were not so sensitive.

"You can feel where the gold element is most intense nearby."

Where the gold element is rich, there is a high probability of red iron crystals.

The four elders also had a golden spirit root, and when they heard this, the four elders immediately closed their eyes and began to feel it.

The mining of red iron crystals is similar to the mining of spirit stones, which requires a special pickaxe to be mined, and the mining using spiritual power and violence is not as fast as mining with this kind of pickaxe.

The Meng family has the ore to make pickaxes, and the Great Elder has personally created more than a dozen pickaxes.

Qiao Shi picked up a pickaxe and walked into a passage at random, and the stone walls on both sides of the passage were scattered with some red iron.

Red iron ore, the red iron here can be much less impurities than the red iron being mined outside.

Qiao Shi raised his pickaxe and dug down casually.

"Ding—"

With a crisp sound, Qiao Shi blinked his eyes, picked up the pickaxe in his hand in a daze, and saw that where she had dug up at random before, a small piece of red spar came into view.

Qiao Shi dug a few more times one after another, and a palm-sized red iron crystal was held in Qiao Shi's eyes.

Is this luck or not......

"Patriarch, the gold element in the south is more abundant...... ......"

The four elders hurriedly ran in, pointing their fingers in one direction, and before they finished speaking, they saw the red iron crystal in Qiao Shi's hand, and they were stunned at the scene for a while.

Qiao Shi glanced in the direction of his finger, hmm...... It's exactly the opposite of the direction she's digging.

This face is slapping, the consequence of taking it for granted.

"Patriarch, fourth, what happened......

Seeing that there was no sound in the passage for a long time, the Great Elder also rushed in, and then ......

……

Seeing that the Great Elder and the Fourth Elder were carefully holding the Red Iron Crystal as if they were holding a bomb, Qiao Shi picked up the pickaxe again and dug a few times in the original direction.

The red iron crystal vein that is said to be good, it can't be a mineral vein just because she found it in advance!

With a few clicks, Qiao Shi saw the red iron crystal shining in the dim candlelight......

Joe: "......"

This high output made him a little flustered, a fist-sized red iron crystal was sold at a price higher than the Meng family's income for decades......

＊

For the time being, several elders took turns mining the red iron crystal.

The mined red iron crystals were temporarily stacked underneath, and for this reason, several elders hurriedly dug a secret room to place the red iron crystals.

The energy of the red iron crystal does not leak out, so there is no fear that a monk will notice the strange appearance of the red iron crystal and come over.

Qiao Shi returned to the upper room and began to cultivate, the original owner had been stagnant in the middle stage of foundation building for many years, and there was a second-level high-grade spirit enhancement pill, and the cultivation speed should have increased.

There is no time to cultivate, Qiao Shi eats a Bigu Pill when he is hungry, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Qiao Shi knocked two Spirit Enhancement Pills, and after using countless spirit stones, he was successfully promoted to the late stage of foundation building.

During this period, Qiao Shi was deeply aware of how huge the lower-grade spirit stones needed for cultivation during the foundation building period, and if it was possible, it was best to use medium-grade spirit stones or high-grade spirit stones to cultivate.

At present, it is impossible, and we can only hope for red iron crystals.

For the time being, only a few elders knew about her promotion, and Qiao Shi didn't let them spread it.

It's just that in the next two days, when Qiao Shi was steadily cultivating, Meng Da suddenly came, Meng Miqing and Meng San went out, and they didn't know where they went.

Joe: "......"

said that he would let Meng San look at the one who didn't let Meng Miqing go out, why did he go out early, the time was wrong, there were still two days before Meng Miqing went out in the previous life, why did he go out early.
