Lingyun Mountain is in the southeast corner of Black Cloud City, Lingyun Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually composed of several mountains of varying heights.

The main peak, Lingyun Mountain, is thousands of meters high, towering into the clouds, and the aura is swirling.

The surrounding hills are much lower than Lingyun Mountain.

Because of the strong aura around Lingyun Mountain, the surrounding mountains are all strange.

Some of the peaks were planted with many spiritual grasses by the Lingyun Sect, and they were guarded by the disciples of the Lingyun Sect.

There are also peaks that have relatively high-grade spiritual materials inside, and this kind of peaks are also mined by the disciples of the Lingyun Sect.

The peak of the Nie family's reclamation of the fire marble is actually the most inconspicuous one among the many small hills around Lingyun Mountain.

Nie Tian and Nie Qian, in the afternoon, came to the peak where the Nie family was digging the fire marble.

"Miss, it's not time to count the fire marble again, why did you suddenly come?" At the entrance of the mountain peak mine, Nie Xiang, a steward of the Nie family, looked curiously at Nie Qian with a child, and his heart was full of doubts.

"This trip is not to count the marble, but to take my nephew to the mine to see the world. Nie Qian smiled.

"Come to the mine to see the world?" Nie Xiang was stunned, becoming more and more strange.

Because the mine is not safe, so for a long time, only children who have made a big mistake in the Nie family will be sent to the mine.

Nie Qian brought Nie Tian here, saying that she wanted to take him to see the world, which made Nie Xiang very puzzled.

Nie Qian didn't explain too much, and after greeting Nie Xiang, she pulled Nie Tian and went straight to the mine.

"Miss, this kid ...... It's too young, and if something happens in the mine, I'm not responsible. Nie Xiang hurriedly said.

"Well, if there's anything, I'll be responsible. Nie Qian said.

Hearing her say this, Nie Xiang didn't say anything more, and let Nie Tian and Nie Qian go to the depths of the mine together.

Inside the mine, Nie Tian looked around curiously, "Is the Fire Marble Stone here?"

"In the depths of the mine. Nie Qian took a breath, her eyes showing sadness, "You remember, you must be obedient, and you must always follow me." Due to over-mining, many parts of the mine are hollow and sometimes collapse with the shaking of the earth. I know where it's safe and where it's dangerous, and you're not allowed to leave me. ”

Nie Tian raised his head, looked at the prismatic stones hanging on the cave wall five or six meters above his head, and nodded hurriedly.

Those stones weighed more than a thousand pounds, and if they really fell, he was afraid that he would turn into meat cakes in an instant.

"Follow me. ”

Nie Qian grabbed his arm and led him towards the long and dark stone path inside.

Nie Tian looked around curiously all the way, silently following, appearing cautious and cautious.

"Hello Miss, why are you here?"

"Miss be careful, it's not safe inside, it only collapsed once a few days ago. ”

"I've seen the eldest lady. ”

Along the way, many members of the Nie family's collateral clan, as well as some laborers hired by the Nie family, greeted Nie Qian respectfully after seeing him.

Nie Qian smiled and nodded to everyone, telling them to be careful and never have an accident.

Nie Tian could see that those who were mining fire marble in the mine seemed to respect Nie Qian from the bottom of their hearts.

"The people who mine the marble in the mine are all miserable people, and every time they come in, they know what they are going to face. When no one was around, Nie Qian sighed softly and said, "Xiao Tian, if you can't be accepted by the Lingyun Sect, after you pass the age of fifteen, you may also be assigned by your second grandfather to mine fire marble here. ”

"Isn't it only the side of the Nie family that will be arranged here?" Nie Tiandao.

"It was like that before, but it may not be in the future. Nie Qian shook her head and said with a gloomy expression: "There are many mortality rates in the mine, and every once in a while, someone dies here. And the main task of the Nie family is actually to help the Lingyun Sect mine the fire marble stone, and other family affairs are not as important as this. ”

"In recent years, it has become more and more dangerous because the outer fire marble has been exhausted, and we can only continue to dig deeper. ”

"The clan elders in the clan are also trying their best not to let their children and grandchildren come to the mine. ”

"But here, it is the foundation of the Nie family. People are afraid of death, and the laborers hired by the family, without the eyes of the clan, are unwilling to dig deeper. However, we need to pay a sufficient amount of fire cloud stones to the Lingyun Sect every year, and if there is less in any year, the Lingyun Sect may not value the Nie family. ”

"Without the protection of the Lingyun Sect, the Nie family is actually difficult to gain a foothold in Black Cloud City. ”

Therefore, the mine is the most important part of the family. At any time, the mine needs to be guarded by the clan, and now that the family is in charge of your second grandfather, he also said that he will reform, and the direct clansmen will also be arranged here in the future. ”

At this point, Nie Qian paused and said meaningfully: "Because your grandfather lost power in the clan, I began to come to the mine often before he gave up the position of patriarch. Now that we are even weaker, if you fail to become a disciple of the Lingyun Sect, you will definitely not be able to escape in the future, and you will definitely be arranged here. ”

Nie Tian lowered his head and thought about it seriously, then nodded slightly, "I understand." ”

"Let's go. Nie Qian continued to go deeper.

After a while, Nie Tian found that the stone path leading to the mountainside was getting narrower and narrower, and the distance between the top of his head and the stone wall was getting shorter and shorter.

He also noticed that the number of laborers he saw on the way was decreasing, and every figure was as thin as wood, and his face was lifeless.

"Miss, there is danger ahead, you better not move forward. A dark and thin middle-aged man suddenly emerged from the corner of another stone road and kindly reminded: "Cave No. 73, eight days ago, just collapsed once, and two people died, so we cleaned it up. ”

Nie Qian stopped suddenly, she hesitated for a moment with a solemn face, and then said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll take a look, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Then you must be careful, I ...... I won't accompany you. The man said fearfully.

"Oh, you're busy. Nie Qian nodded, and the black and thin man disappeared in an instant.

"The further inward you go, the higher the mortality rate, so the laborers here are all dead because they don't know when the calamity will come. Nie Qian was silent for a while, and then said, "They are all hard-working people in Black Cloud City, and they took the risk to come here for the sake of their wives and children in the city. ”

"The Qi Refiners of the Lingyun Sect are highly powerful, if they come here, even if the mine cave collapses, it should be fine, right?" Nie Tian asked.

"If you cultivate to the Zhongtian realm, you can run rampant in the mine, and you are definitely not afraid of the collapse and mutation in the mine. Nie Qian nodded lightly, and then said again: "However, how could a Qi Refiner who has reached the Zhongtian Realm waste time here for a low-priced four-grade Fire Cloud Stone?"

"A powerful Qi Refiner is the most ruthless!"

"In their eyes, the Nie family is nothing, and if some people die, they won't take it to heart at all, let alone these hard-working mortals hired by the Nie family?"

"The real Qi Refiner is already high, a family like our Nie family, and can only serve them. ”

"In the same way, those mortals in Black Cloud City serve our Nie family. ”

"This world is so cruel that you and I are powerless to change it. There is only one way to be above others, not to be enslaved by them, not to be controlled by them. ”

"That's to be one of them!"

Nie Qian taught step by step.

Nie Tian's face was solemn and he nodded heavily, "I will definitely become a powerful Qi Refiner!"

"Let's go, go to Cave 73!" Nie Qian also made up her mind.

Not long after, Nie Tian appeared in a huge mine cave under her leadership.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that there were red and glittering points of light on the stone walls around the cave.

"Fire Cloud Stone!" Nie Tian perked up.

"This place is dangerous, don't waste time, hurry up and try to use that beast bone to absorb the power of the flames in the unmined fire cloud! We'd better not stay for a long time, once the blood in that beast bone condenses out, leave immediately, so as not to change later!" Nie Qian urged loudly.

"Okay!" Nie Tian immediately began to move.
