"What are you all doing here, don't you know it's time to go to work?" Just as the men of the bluestone tribe were complaining about the lack of spirits in the grocery store, a scolding voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and the people who were still noisy suddenly dispersed and rushed all the way to the mine.

Wei Ziyang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the people at the door, although most of the people in the Qingshi tribe were ordinary mortals, they were generally strong, and there were even a few cultivators in the Qi refining period. But in the face of the disciples of Qinglong Mountain, they hid like mice seeing cats, which shows how powerful Qinglong Mountain is in their hearts.

Three people came in from the door, the same satin costumes, although the clothes were a little shabby, but compared to the tribesmen who wore rough animal skins, it was simply another civilization.

Wei Ziyang was looking at the other party quietly, and the other party was also looking at the grocery store, his head slightly raised. This kind of posture Wei Ziyang has seen, Lao Zhiyuan's style is high. It seems that he is a god, and everyone else is an ant.

"I don't know if we Qinglongshan opened a store here, and the shopkeeper doesn't seem to be very particular. The eagle-nosed man at the head looked at Wei Ziyang and spoke slowly.

Wei Ziyang's heart sank, and then he smiled: "This is the territory of the Qingshi tribe, I have already obtained the consent of the leader, and the leader of Hu Deng has repeatedly warned that he must not go up the mountain, so he really dare not go up the mountain rashly to disturb." ”

However, the other party didn't appreciate it, and said directly: "What about the territory of the Qingshi tribe? This is too close to the mine, and it is a necessary transportation channel, who knows what evil intentions you have?"

"Then I don't know what instructions the Immortal Chief has?" Wei Ziyang's face was already smiling.

"I heard that you have good wine and food here, and you send some up the mountain regularly, and you don't ask too much, but enough for ten of us to eat...... Of course, we don't take your things in vain, Longshan spirits are rampant, and I, Qinglongshan, can provide you with shelter. The eagle-nosed man said slowly, very stylish.

Is this a protection fee?

Wei Ziyang smiled even more, and said very simply: "Yes, very willingly." ”

The eagle-nosed man was originally worried about encountering a thorn, and even thought that he might kick the steel plate, but he didn't expect Wei Ziyang to be so knowledgeable, and smiled contemptuously: "I am Qinglong Mountain Longcheng, you can call me Brother Cheng in the future! With Brother Cheng covering you, no one dares to bully you anymore!"

Wei Ziyang smiled.

Long Cheng didn't care, walked around the store, and finally picked up a bag of tea wrapped in paper, opened it and smelled it like a dog, and said with a smile: "The mountains are poor, a bag of good tea can refresh the mind, good, good." ”

As he spoke, he picked up two more bags and walked away staggeringly, very arrogant.

As soon as they went out on the front foot, Wei Ziyang's face immediately turned cold, and the protection fee was received from him, Qinglong Mountain is self-defeating!

Since the grocery store was out of merchandise and no one bought the few remaining bags of tea, Wei Ziyang closed the store's door. He can't keep this grocery store open all the time, so he can only open it once a few days. This is actually beneficial, and others only think that he is going to pull goods during the closure.

But Wei Ziyang did not leave, but went down to the basement, took out an iron ore pickaxe and dug in the direction of the mine. In the face of Qinglong Mountain's protection fee, Wei Ziyang is powerless to stop it now, but it does not prevent him from retaliating and even driving them out of the Qingshi tribe!

When there is no mine to dig, Bluestone Mountain will no longer stay here to show off its might.

The grocery store was only a little more than 100 meters away from the mine, and when bluestones appeared one after another on the rocks underground, Wei Ziyang knew that he had arrived at the foot of the bluestone mountain.

According to the bluestone tribesmen, this bluestone mountain is a rich mine, which has been dug for five years and still does not dry up. And according to the judgment of the 'mine master' of the Qinglongshan sect, this mine is expected to be dug for more than ten years, which shows how rich the reserves of fine iron are.

"Bang Bang ......"

The iron ore pick, which dug more than 100 meters of rock in a row, immediately shattered when it encountered the first piece of refined iron ore. Compared with other rocks, this iron ore has a higher hardness, and the requirements and losses of the ore picks are also very large.

Replace it with a new iron pickaxe and smash it hard.

"Iron Ore Pickup*1"

After digging up a piece of iron ore, a large area of iron ore is exposed.

"Sure enough, it's a bonanza!" Wei Ziyang's eyes lit up, although the ore in the basic world was rich, the distribution was not so dense, digging and digging......

"Bang dang!"

However, only a dozen pieces were dug up, and another iron ore pickaxe was scrapped. The hardness of the refined iron ore is too great, and the wear and tear of the iron ore pickaxe is not small, and even the hand he holds is faintly numb.

After thinking about it, Wei Ziyang took out the furnace first and put all the refined iron ore he had just gotten in. And when choosing the furnace burning material, it was found that in addition to the coal brought from the basic world, you could also choose the spirit stone, which is a power stone that can drive the furnace.

"It seems that many functions of the Xiuzhen world have to be carefully explored. Wei Ziyang groaned, and in the end, he still used coal to smelt refined iron, after all, there were not many broken spirit stones in his hands.

After getting the fine iron, Wei Ziyang released the workbench again. The function of the workbench is not usually visible, but when the player obtains certain materials and puts them in the game backpack, the workbench will automatically activate the corresponding item map that can be crafted.

"Pickaxe Ironite, Iron Bar*3, Stick*1"

"Sure enough!" Wei Ziyang was very excited, and hurriedly put the fine iron ingots and small wooden sticks on the distribution on the map, and then pressed the production button.

The iron ore pickaxe is very similar to the iron ore pick, except that the ordinary iron is replaced by a harder iron pick, but the hardness and other aspects are increased several times.

Originally, when encountering refined iron ore, Wei Ziyang needed to smash it three times, but after replacing it with a refined iron ore pickaxe, he could burst the refined iron ore at one time, saving time and effort.

After getting the refined iron ore pickaxe, Wei Ziyang was like a treasure, and once again turned into a mining maniac, and quietly dug up the refined iron ore under the bluestone mountain without the guards of the bluestone mountain unaware.

I have to say that the reserves of refined iron in this mine are very huge, and Wei Ziyang also dug for three days one after another before confirming that the mine has been basically emptied.

Of course, the harvest is also very huge, the thirty-six spaces of Wei Ziyang's game backpack are almost all filled, and each backpack can also overlap 64 pieces of refined iron ore of a cubic size, a total of almost two thousand pieces, enough to be used for a long time in the future!

Qingshi Mountain still knows nothing about all these changes, and organizes the people of the Qingshi tribe to dig every day, and they are drinking tea and tasting wine. However, because of the meager manpower, no one has the magical ability of Wei Ziyang, and the use of primitive mining methods is very inefficient.

The three-day deadline had arrived, and on the day the grocery store reopened, many tribal miners were already waiting at the door early in the morning.

They weren't sure when Wei Ziyang would open the door, and they didn't even know if he would open the door as promised today, but thinking of the taste of the spirits they had tasted three days ago, they couldn't sleep, so they simply came over early in the morning to keep watch, and they were also worried that the amount of spirits would not be enough to make people run out again.

"When do you think the shopkeeper will open the door? ”

"Who knows, I can't open it today, and I haven't seen him come back!"

"He said that he would have it in three days, so he shouldn't be a lie, right?"

"It's not good to say, I heard that the immortal chief of Qinglong Mountain asked him for protection money, and people don't dare to come again. ”

"Shhhhh ”

Just as the drunkards were chatting non-stop, the iron door of the grocery store creaked open, and a smiling Wei Ziyang appeared in front of them. The bluestone tribe man's thirst for wine was stronger than he imagined.

"Shopkeeper Wei, do you have any spirits?" asked one by one, their eyes wide in anticipation.

"Yes, but not much. Wei Ziyang smiled and said.

As soon as they heard this, the people at the door could still hold it, and one by one they took the gourds containing the wine and ran inside, for fear of being robbed.

"Don't worry, don't crowd, come one by one, line up first!" Wei Ziyang shouted and came to the wine vat, picked up the wine bucket and served it to the guests.

There are not many broken spirits, but a bucket of wine is only half a catty, and such a large water tank can be sold for a lot of money.

Spirit stones can be used for cultivation, but because there are too many impurities, there are not many broken spirits that can be absorbed, and forcibly absorbing them will even affect cultivation, so they are only used as trading currency.

But after Wei Ziyang hollowed out the fine iron of Qingshi Mountain this morning, when he studied the system interface of the Xiuzhen world, he unexpectedly found that there was a new function in the neglected synthesis function, that is, 'Spirit Stone Synthesis', using broken spirit stones to synthesize real spirit stones!

Only one hundred taels of broken spirit in the cultivation world can be exchanged for one tael of lower-grade spirit stones, but under the synthesis function, only sixty taels of broken spirit stones are needed to synthesize a lower-grade spirit stone, and the difference between them is forty taels, and if used properly, it will make a difference.

And in this way, the broken spirit stone earned will not only be a currency, but also a genuine spirit stone, the kind that can be used for cultivation.

"Shopkeeper Wei, bring me two buckets...... No, Sandou!"

After a while, the prepared large tank of spirits was all sold out, and the sales of rice, salt, and handkerchiefs were also good, looking at the large box of broken spirit stones harvested, Wei Ziyang smiled.

"It's time to send the protection money up the mountain to Brother Cheng!" Wei Ziyang saw that the sun was already hanging high, with a bit of playful ridicule.

Of course, he still prepared the protection money very well, two jars of spirits, a bag of rice, as well as salt and tea, the amount is not a few. He still has to be grateful to Qinglong Mountain, without their refined iron mine, it would not be easy for him to find a large amount of refined iron.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Wei Ziyang, who was carrying the protection money, was stopped at the foot of the mountain by two guards.

"I'm the shopkeeper of the grocery store next door, and I'm here to deliver something to Brother Cheng. Wei Ziyang's smile was very sincere.

"Yes...... Is it?" The disciples of the two Qinglong Mountains were in a trance, looking at Weizi Yang Lehehe, it seemed that he was still very willing to pay the protection fee, not to mention how strange it was. When others are bullied, they all stink, and no one is like this.

"Of course. Wei Ziyang almost patted his chest and promised.

“...... Okay, you go up with me!"

Wei Ziyang carried a heavy burden up the mountain, and after nine bends and eighteen turns, he finally came to a wooden house next to the mine. Although it is a wooden house, it is too extravagant compared to the buildings of the bluestone tribe.

"Hehe, shopkeeper Wei, I'm finally looking forward to you!" Long Cheng came out of the wooden house with a smile after receiving the notice, and his eyes lit up when he saw the things in Wei Ziyang's burden, and his heart said that this shopkeeper was very knowledgeable, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, pick things in." ”

Looking at the posture, it is as if you are directing a subordinate.

Wei Ziyang has been rolling in society, he has never seen any fuckers, and he doesn't seem to mind, so he directly sent the protection money to the other party into the house.

He put the things down, and Long Chengcheng first brought a jar of spirits to the table, opened it and smelled it, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Hurriedly found a thick bowl and poured it, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.

"Hiss......"

I was in a hurry, but I didn't expect this wine to be so strong, Long Cheng was choked and his face turned red. I drank it carefully again, and I only felt ecstatic.

"It's really good wine!" Long Cheng shouted.

"There's not much wine here, Brother Cheng just drinks it secretly. Wei Ziyang reminded.

Who knew that Long Cheng's eyelids lifted and said: "Such a good wine, it's really a waste to let those untouchables drink it, and next time they will all be sent to the mountain! Don't worry, Brother Cheng won't treat you badly!"

The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, but Wei Ziyang was not surprised by his greed, but he still shook his head and said: "Please forgive me for my fate, without the support of enough broken spirits, I can't get the goods and send them again!"

"How many broken spirit stones do I still need you?" Long Cheng's eyes widened, and he dug out a small bag with a Qiankun pattern from his waist, and slapped out a crystal crystal that Wei Ziyang felt from afar.

"This is a medium-grade spirit stone, haven't you seen it, can't you exchange it for ten thousand taels of broken spirits!" Long Cheng said showing off, and then put the bag in front of him, without meaning to give Wei Ziyang at all.

"Is this a Qiankun bag?" Wei Ziyang asked curiously.

"Hehe, count you as knowledgeable. Long Cheng was very proud, and then carefully hid the Qiankun bag close to his body, it was so precious.

Wei Ziyang was still thinking about something, and a person hurriedly ran in outside the door, reporting with a little panic: "Guard, the mine is gone! The mine is gone!"
