The Black Stone Well is a family mine formed by seven mines, from which the raw ore used in the Ascension Ceremony was mined, and the raw ore was also used to refine the yuanshi.

Gu Chen came to the Black Stone Well, and with him came two Gu family slaves.

The two house slaves violated the house rules and were exiled to work as coolies in the Black Stone Shaft.

"You're Gu Chen?"

A sturdy man walked quickly, his eyes scanning Gu Chen's eyes a few times to reveal a trace of disdain: "I am Gu Qiang, the deacon in charge of Heishijing!"

"Little Brother Gu Chen is a new spirit disciple this year, right?"

Gu Chen nodded yes.

"That's it, little brother Guchen, you take these two house slaves down to rest today!"

"Starting tomorrow, you and these two house slaves will go down the mine to mine the raw ore together, looking at your long thin skin and tender meat, it is estimated that you don't have a few catties of strength, and this deacon arranges for the three of you to mine 3,000 catties of raw ore every day!"

"Mining?"

"I'm not here to mine!"

Gu Chen patted the dust on his body: "There should be a total of three deacons in Heishijing, tell them to come to see me immediately!"

"What did you say?" Gu Qiang was stunned.

Gu Chen strode to the rest tent in the center of the mine: "Let the other two deacons come to see me, didn't you hear what I said clearly?"

Gu Qiang was stunned: "Do you know who you're talking to?"

"Gu Qiang's one-yuan spirit body passed through the two-yuan realm, and after thirty years of awakening spirit body refining spirits, he was promoted to deacon of Heishijing!"

Gu Qiang was stunned, Gu Chen actually told all his old bottoms, how did he know this?

"You have only reached the second realm of Tongyuan after thirty years of refining spirits, and you are a domestic slave, you deacon has spent a lot of yuan stones to get it!"

"You ......" Gu Qiang was furious, but what Gu Chen said was the truth, so he had to swallow the words back from his mouth.

"Do you know who you're talking to?" Gu Chen said condescendingly: "I, Gu Chen, am the number one in this year's Spirit Martial Arts Association, and I am also the family deacon!"

"The family deacon has the right to inspect the family property, and you dare to shout at me even if you are a deacon of Kuroishii?"

Gu Chen sat in the tent: "I'll give you thirty breaths, and immediately call the other two deacons to see me! Otherwise, he will be punished according to the clan rules!"

Gu Qiang wanted to give Gu Chen a dismissal, but he didn't expect to be taught a hard lesson, so he had to swallow a mouthful of anger, and after a while, Gu Qiang returned to the camp alone with a black face.

"What about the other two? Don't you want to be a deacon?"

"Deacon Qi Gu Chen, Gu Lin and Gu Qianhe have already gone out to patrol, and the Ascending Ceremony has just been held this year, but the raw ore required for next year's ceremony has already begun to prepare in advance!"

How could Gu Chen not know that this was done by Gu Qiang on purpose.

Gu Chen smiled coldly: "Next year's Ascending Ceremony?

Gu Qiang lowered his head: "Deacon Gu Chen doesn't know, the mine has been continuously mined for more than 40 years, the ore is getting less and less, the pit is digging deeper and deeper, and the mining difficulty is getting bigger and bigger, so the ore needed for next year's ceremony has not been prepared, which is also an extremely normal thing!"

"Really?"

At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the tent, and the ground under his feet trembled violently.

Gu Qiangden broke out in a cold sweat: "It's an iron-armored drill beast!"

Gu Chen walked out of the camp tent, and a stream of yellow smoke hundreds of meters high rose into the sky on the east side of the black stone well.

A huge depression appeared in the land of the original flat river, which looked like a black mouth from a distance, and it was bottomless.

"What's going on?"

"Deacon Guchen..... You just came to the Black Stone Well and you don't know much about the situation here, the Black Stone Well is different from ordinary mines, it is rich in rough stone ore, so it is extremely easy to attract Iron Armor Drill Beasts!"

"Ironclad Drillers like to feed on raw ore, and adult ones can even devour raw ore and cause the pit to collapse!"

Gu Chen squinted his eyes and stared into the distance, and said, "The Gu family should have a spirit disciple stationed here who specializes in dealing with iron-armored earth drilling beasts, right?"

Gu Qiang's voice began to tremble: "Yes...... I'm the deacon in charge of this......"

"There are at least three hundred coolies at the bottom of the main mine and more than a dozen elite children of the Gu family...... He's dead..... All dead....."

Hearing this, the five spirit disciples who rushed over looked at the dark and deep pit and couldn't stop trembling.

With a bang, Gu Qiang knelt on the ground: "Deacon Gu Chen, I lead my subordinates to patrol every day, and I haven't found any trace of the iron-armored earth drilling beast in the past three months, but now ......"

"What should I do now?"

Gu Qiang was completely panicked, he wanted to erect his majesty in front of Gu Chen, but now that the people in the black stone shaft collapsed in the pit must be dead, and the original stone mine is not in supply, once the Great Ceremony is affected, not to mention his position as a deacon, even his life may not be guaranteed.

Gu Chen came to the entrance of the Black Stone Well: "You and your spiritual disciples stay here, I'll go down and have a look!"

Gu Qiang looked at Gu Chen in surprise and said, "It's extremely dangerous down there, and the passage is also blocked by rocks.......

Gu Chen took a deep breath and grabbed a mountain stone the size of a door panel with one hand.

Rumble~

He casually threw the rocks aside and jumped off.

Gu Qiang and several spirit disciples gasped: "This ......"

"That mountain rock is at least 5,000 catties, and he looks like a scholar...... I didn't expect it to have the power of five tripods!"

"I heard that he was lucky to get a Snowman King Spirit Seed against the sky, which led to Gu Qianyi winning the first place in this Spirit Martial Arts Meeting, but I didn't expect that he did have some strength!"

"Do you think he'll come back alive?" asked one of the spirits.

Gu Qiang lowered his voice: "You remember, the collapse of the black stone well was all caused by Gu Chen's attraction of the Iron Armor Drilling Beast!"

The spirit disciples were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what was going on, and said, "Yes, deacon!"

"What if...... Did he come back alive?"

Gu Qiang said with a smile: "What if, no if, this black stone well is like an underground labyrinth, with a net of heaven and earth, not to mention a mere Tongyuan Second Turning Spirit Disciple, even if it is a Tongyuan Sixth Transformation Spirit Disciple, there is no return!"

The spirits looked astonished: "But ......"

"No, if you want to live, you have to shut up Lao Tzu!

Gu Chen went deep underground along the passage, and after walking a few hundred meters, a forked road appeared in front of him.

Gu Chen opened the jade slip that Wu Mulin had left him.

On the first page of the jade slip was a list, and in addition to Gu Qiang, there were dozens of Gu clan disciples on the list, and the other two deacons of Heishijing were also on it.

After Gu Qiang's name, there are a large number of text annotations.

"Gu Qiang, formerly known as Yuan Qingzhi!"

"It turns out that he and Yuan Qinghong are people of the same race!"

Gu Chen opened the second page of the jade slip, and the second page turned out to be the map of the black stone well!

Gu Chen squinted his eyes, Wu Mulin gave him the map of the Black Stone Well, and as soon as he arrived here, the Black Stone Well collapsed.

Wu Mulin seemed to have expected this matter for a long time, and this was to remind himself.
