Hearing this, the old man glanced at Lu Chen, and then at Jiang Feiyun, who was wearing Lu Chen's black coat, and said with a smile in his eyes: "In this case, you can join Jiang Feiyun's mining team." After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Feiyun to react, the old man had already drifted away.

"Elder Fan asked you to join our mining team, but I didn't agree. Jiang Feiyun glared at Lu Chen fiercely.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, noncommittal. The elder of the mine hall has already spoken in person, Lu Chen doesn't believe that Jiang Feiyun dares to disobey the order, and the reason why Jiang Feiyun is like this is probably because his residual anger has not disappeared.

Seeing this, Qiu Feng hurriedly took a step forward and told Jiang Feiyun about his encounter with Lu Chen at the edge of the pit, and then Lu Chen jumped into the bottom of the pit and prepared to enter the cave to save people.

After Jiang Feiyun heard this, his expression eased slightly, but he remembered Lu Chen's previous actions to put out the fire, and he was still a little angry in his heart.

Wu Tao thought for a moment, and also told him about the situation when he met Lu Chen when he came out of the cave, and Jiang Feiyun's face softened a little when he heard this.

"That's the end of today, the three of you talk to him about the mine. With that, Jiang Feiyun's figure flickered, and he quickly left the spirit stone pit.

"Senior Brother Chen. The skinny autumn wind said.

"Just call me Chenlu. Lu Chen said.

Qiu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "You are a disciple of the outer sect, we are miscellaneous disciples, and we are originally different from each other, but since you don't mind, then we will call you Chenlu directly." My name is Qiu Feng, this fat man's name is Wu Tao, and his name is Ning Yu, and our captain's name is Jiang Feiyun, who has just been put out by you, and you are welcome to join our mining team. ”

After Qiu Feng's introduction, Lu Chen officially got to know Ning Yu and Wu Tao.

"Oh, that's right!" Qiu Feng suddenly thought of something, and said, "Don't look at the captain who didn't agree, in fact, the captain is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person." She didn't refuse outright, and you'll be part of our mining team from now on. ”

"That's it. Ning Yu and Wu Tao also echoed and said.

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly, Jiang Feiyun's face was cold and warm, in fact, he had already seen it from Jiang Feiyun's series of actions. Before, there was a saltpeter explosion in the mine, and Jiang Feiyun asked Ning Yu and the three of them to leave the mine first, while Jiang Feiyun himself was behind. After coming out, the first thing that came to mind was the safety of Ning Yu and the others, so he missed the opportunity to extinguish his own flames. And when he mistakenly thought that Qiu Feng was still in the mine, Jiang Feiyun immediately wanted to return to the mine. With this alone, Lu Chen would not bother with Jiang Feiyun.

"I'm the only outer disciple in the mine hall?" Lu Chen frowned and asked, the pit ladder stone path was full of people before, but Lu Chen didn't find the figure of the outer disciple.

Seeing that Ning Yu and the three of them all nodded, Lu Chen's eyes were surprised, and he secretly thought in his heart, could it be that the inner and outer disciples in the Red Fire Sect are extremely disciplined and disciplined, and they will not make any mistakes. Based on this alone, it makes sense that the Red Fire Sect can be among the three major sects in Qingyun County.

Qiu Feng didn't know what Lu Chen was thinking, and explained: "First, the inner and outer disciples were punished to come to the Mine Hall to mine spiritual ore, and the rules they violated must not be an unforgivable crime. Second, the inner and outer disciples were punished to come to the mining hall, which was nothing more than to mine the prescribed spiritual ore within the specified time. And the inner and outer disciples are all worth a lot of money, even if they violate the door rules, they can afford the punishment of spirit stones. Directly hand over some spirit stones, and naturally you will not be required to come to the mine hall to mine spirit ore. ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he was suddenly stunned. No wonder there is no second outer disciple in the mine hall besides himself. I'm afraid that those inner and outer disciples will regard going to the mine hall to mine spiritual ore as a matter of great shame. Even if they break the rules, they will do everything they can to gather spirit stones, so as not to be punished for coming to the mine to mine spirit ores.

"How many spirit stones does a person need to mine in a day?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"Ten. "Autumn Wind Road.

"Red Fire City is where the outer gate is located, mining during the day, do you need to go back to Red Fire City at night?" Lu Chen asked again.

"Not really. Qiu Feng said with a smile: "First, join each hall, and each hall will generally arrange a place to live." Second, unlike the other three halls, the mine hall is too far away from Chihuo City, and it is too time-consuming to go back and forth. Moreover, it is not a small amount to mine ten spirit stones in one day, otherwise we would not be busy until so late in the mine. And today, because of the saltpeter explosion in the mine, we left the mine early. However, when you first came to the mine, you didn't know the difficulty of mining spirit stones. ”

Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, and asked again, "What if you can't mine ten spirit stones in one day?" Will there be any punishment in the mining hall?"

"There was no punishment. ”

Qiu Feng thought for a moment and continued: "However, the miscellaneous disciples in the mine hall also have the opportunity to become inner and outer disciples. Since joining the Mining Hall, if 10,000 spirit stones are mined within three years, you can directly become an outer disciple. Or if you mine 30,000 spirit stones within five years, you can directly become an outer disciple. If you can't do it, you can mine 100,000 spirit stones within ten years, and you can directly become an outer disciple. If you haven't changed from a miscellaneous disciple to an outer disciple for ten years, you will have to leave the Red Fire Sect and return to your respective families. ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he knew it. Although as long as the conditions are met, anyone who pays a low-grade spirit stone can participate in the outer disciple assessment. However, being able to participate in the assessment may not necessarily lead to passing the assessment. The difficulty of the three-level assessment is increasing step by step, and some small families who do not have a strong background cannot cultivate disciples who can successfully pass the three-level assessment. It is to be promoted from a miscellaneous disciple to an outer disciple, which has become another very important way. Because of this, even if the Mine Hall does not stipulate how many spirit stones each person must mine per day, the people of the Mine Hall will desperately mine spirit stones.

And even the quota of miscellaneous disciples in the mine hall is still available but unavailable for some small families! For example, the Leng family, the Lin family, and the Qinghe Martial Arts Pavilion in Qinghe City, although Qinghe City is under the jurisdiction of the Qingxiao Sect, one of the three major sects, the Qingxiao Sect does not have the share of the Leng family, the Lin family, and the Qinghe Martial Arts Pavilion even if it selects the miscellaneous disciples of the sect. Once those places are passed on, they will immediately be snatched up by a big family like the Lin family, the main vein of Tianyang City, and it will not be Qinghe City's turn at all.

Resources are limited, competition is inevitable! Thinking about this, Lu Chen's heart was slightly filled with a hint of awe. Before he left Qinghe City, he hadn't felt this strongly. But at this moment, Lu Chen was deeply touched. This is just the Qi Sea Realm, and the competition is already so fierce. If you reach the Zhengang Realm, the competition will only be more intense, and after the Zhengang Realm, there will be a higher and more profound martial arts realm, and even reach the peak of the martial arts. On the way to the peak of the martial arts, he may not be too lonely! Lu Chen's eyes revealed a gleam.

While he was talking, Lu Chen and the others had already left the spirit stone pit along the pit ladder stone path. Standing at the edge of the mine, Lu Chen picked up the heavy black iron spear that he had thrown aside, and then followed everyone towards the depths of the mine. Along the way, Ning Yu and the three of them told some things about the mine hall one after another, and Lu Chen combed through while listening, and gradually had a general understanding of the mine hall in the four halls.

Soon, everyone came to an undulating mountain peak about a few dozen feet high. Lu Chen stood at the foot of the mountain peak, raised his eyes to look at the peak, and saw that the rolling peaks were scattered with stone caves, some of these stone caves had closed doors, and some of them had open doors, and the light and shadow in them were shaking, and it was obvious that people lived in them.

"This is the Dongfu Peak where all the people of the mine hall live. Qiu Feng pointed to a certain place among the mountain peaks in front of him, and said to Lu Chen, "Our cave is over there. There are also many idle caves over there, and everyone lives in the neighboring caves, so it is convenient to take care of each other. ”

Lu Chen nodded, naturally he had no opinion. Ning Yu and the three of them walked along the winding mountain stone path towards the cave where they lived, and Lu Chen followed behind the three of them.

Soon, Lu Chen followed everyone to the location that Qiu Feng pointed out before. In front of everyone was a cave, the door of which was closed, and no light or sound could come out of it. In front of the gate of this cave, there are several plum trees that bloom, making this cave house look very chic and quiet.

At this moment, Qiu Feng, who had deliberately paused, whispered to Lu Chen: "This is Jiang Feiyun's cave mansion. ”

As soon as Qiu Feng's words came out, Lu Chen remembered the scene of extinguishing the fire at the bottom of the pit for no reason. Before, Lu Chen was either busy putting out the fire, or immersed in the experience of fire control, and then he saw the elder surnamed Fan of the Mining Hall, and then he accompanied Ning Yu and the three of them to Dongfu Peak, and they didn't stop for a moment. At this moment, as soon as Qiu Feng mentioned Jiang Feiyun, Lu Chen's mind inexplicably remembered the soft and elastic feeling in his hand before, and his five fingers couldn't help pinching slightly.

After saying this, Ning Yu and the three of them continued to walk forward. Lu Chen didn't think much about it anymore and hurriedly kept up with the pace of the three of them. Then he passed by three caves, namely Ning Yu, Wu Tao and Qiu Feng's caves. Finally, everyone came to the door of a cave near the four caves in front of them, and Qiu Feng said: "This cave has always been idle, just put your identity stone tablet here and stay for three breaths, and then this cave will be yours." If you don't have an identity stone tablet, you can't even get in on your own. Therefore, the identity stone plate should be protected, and it will be very troublesome if it is lost. ”

Lu Chen nodded when he heard this, and then followed the guidance of Qiu Feng and placed his identity stone tablet on a strange round black stone next to the door of the cave for three breaths.

With a click, the stone door of the cave slowly opened, although it was a stone gate, there was not much movement.

"It's not early, the smoke in the pit bottom mine will dissipate tonight, and we will continue to mine the spirit ore tomorrow morning, let's go back to the cave first, if you encounter something you don't understand, just knock on the cave of the three of us." Seeing that Lu Chen successfully opened the stone gate of the cave, Qiu Feng said a word, and then returned to their own cave with Wu Tao and Ning Yu.

Lu Chen thanked the three of them, and waited until they were sent away before stepping into his cave.
