Hearing Gu Zuo's decision, Lingyuan Dao Chief smiled: "To be able to bring the Huaixian Pavilion to such a point, the Gu Pavilion Master still has some ability. ”

Deacon Shang was still a little unconvinced: "Pavilion Master Gu, you have to think about it, the direction is wrong, and the loss is great." ”

Gu Zuo comforted him: "Senior Shang's opinions are also very pertinent, and I don't dare to say that it is wrong, but many times we are forced to do multiple-choice questions, and we may choose the right or wrong choice." Gu chose the judgment of his predecessors last time, and spent a lot of money to buy Nanwu Prefecture, I think this choice is correct. From the perspective of probability, today we should choose the opposite side of our predecessors, so that it is an impartial golden mean. ”

Deacon Shang looked helpless: "Gu Pavilion Master chose this way, I have no choice, of course I still insist on my own judgment." Although I was still unconvinced, my attitude and emotions eased a lot.

Now that you've made your choice, let's open the pit!

The Lingyuan Dao Leader burned a few talismans and quickly finalized the location of the three open pits. Gu Zuo was full of admiration when he saw it, these three positions just hugged the brightest refracted white light ring in the lower left corner of the air sea, which was quite accurate, and at the same time, it also gave Gu Zuo an intuitive understanding of how to select the pit - where it is bright, it will be wrapped!

Of course, Gu Zuo is still very sad, the Lingyuan Daoist burned six talismans, and more than one hundred and sixty pieces were burned down like this, all of which were included in Gu Zuo's mining costs, and he had to return them to the Lingyuan Daoist, where is the reason?

The locations of the three pits are marked by charcoal on the rock wall, and they are about two feet apart from each other, which is extremely eye-catching. Once the pit is opened, these three locations will flow out of a dense aura, and a steady stream of wealth will be born from it!

At the moment, a division of labor was made on the issue of manpower.

The butcher presided over the Three-Element Extreme True Array, controlling the spiritual pressure of the ore veins, with a total of nine nodes, which belonged to Cheng Shanhu, Li Gusheng, Ding Jiugu, two disciples of Gao Changjiang, and three aboriginal monks left behind by the Dongting faction.

The Lingyuan Dao Master personally controls the mining array, which has four nodes, and is accompanied by Gao Changjiang and two disciples.

Deacon Shang presided over the condensation of the magic circle, and there were three nodes, which belonged to the original Taoist chief and Zhao Da among the Zhao brothers.

After the pit was opened, it was Gao Changjiang's three apprentices and five executioners recruited by the Huaixian Pavilion who were ready to go down the pit. The environment in the pit is quite harsh, Gao Changjiang's apprentices are dedicated to their skills, and the executioners are dedicated to high salaries.

Of course, this is only the trial mining stage, Gu Zuo has already applied for manpower from the Black Mountain Imperial Law Division, and Chen Haozi has also agreed to their request to select people from the criminal prisoners to serve in the Nanwu Mountain ore vein, and the Huaixian Pavilion will regard the cultivation as paying compensation ranging from 12 to 60 yuan per person in the Law Department every year.

Su San and Wang Huoju, who stayed in Gengjin Mountain, were staring at this matter, and the law department was also going through the process of judging and other processes, thinking that it was almost time to leave at this moment, maybe it would arrive next month, and then it would be able to enter the official production stage.

Waiting for the manpower to be in place, the Lingyuan Dao Master once again told all the monks who went to the battle and went down to the pit to pay attention to the problems, and the first trial mining began.

The first step in trial mining is to open a pit.

There are nine probe rods equipped by the Huashan Xixuan faction for the large array, and one is taken out first, aiming at the position marked on the rock wall.

The Three-Element Extreme True Great Array was activated, which fixed the spiritual pressure and yin and yang qi of the South Second Peak, and then, the mining array was activated, and the probe rod began to chisel into the rock wall inch by inch under the pressure of the formation.

The probe is a hollow magic tube, both tough and soft, and as it continues to dig into the rock wall, a thin stone powder and marl squeezes out from the hollow. While manipulating the magic circle, the Lingyuan Dao Master recorded the length of the stone powder plaster, which was the depth of the probe rod chiseled.

One-inch, two-inch, three-inch......

One-foot, two-foot, three-foot......

The chiseling of the probe rod is a delicate process, which requires the close cooperation of the three-element extreme true array and the mining array, constantly adjusting, finding the most suitable path to prevent the destruction of the structure of the ore layer, so the progress is very slow, and it can be chiseled in about half an hour.

Before I knew it, it was more than an hour, and the probe rod also went in two feet. This depth may have reached the aura, but the aura can't come out, because it hasn't reached the place where the spiritual eye, the spirit stone mica, is located, and the pressure is not enough to press the aura out.

Two hours have passed, and there is still no aura to be seen.

Sister-in-law Liu brought a group of women and children to bring food, so everyone ate in shifts, and after Gu Zuo finished eating, he also went up to replace Li Gusheng for a while, and then was replaced by Yu Niang.

Looking at Yu Niang's beautiful face, Gu Zuo couldn't help but sigh, even the girls of the Crystal Palace in the past have done the work of prospecting, our Huaixian Pavilion is really cohesive!

Hmm, this kind of hard-working gym culture must be maintained and carried forward!

Three hours have passed, and the probe rod has gone deep into six zhang, and there is still no aura. Everyone was not in a hurry and continued to wait patiently. If it is out too early, it is not a good thing, which means that the buried layer of the ore eye, that is, the spirit stone mica, is shallow, and the derived spiritual energy reserves are usually not rich.

Four hours passed, everyone had already started to work shifts, and Gu Zuo went up for another half an hour.

On the morning of December 26, the excavation had been going on for eight hours, and when it reached a depth of fifteen zhang, there was still no shadow of the aura.

In the afternoon, a full twelve hours had passed, and the depth was more than twenty zhang, and there was still no aura, indicating that there were two possibilities, either it was a medium mine, or the pit was in the wrong place.

Another night passed, and on the morning of the 27th, Gu Zuo rushed to the mining site in the cave after a good night's sleep.

In this position, if the aura is played, it usually means that it is a high-grade mine in the middle mine, that is, the annual output is more than 40,000 spirit stones. Or maybe you hit the wrong place and there is nothing.

Gu Zuo began to worry, if this prospecting failed, in addition to the loss of the consumption of probes and spirit stones, as well as two days of hard work in vain, it also meant that this mine could only open two more pits, and the annual output would be reduced by one-third.

Let's have a little aura, even if it's just the output of ten yuan a day, it's better than scrapping it!

Gu Zuo muttered silently in his heart, and looked at the Spirit Source Dao Leader, who was still engrossed in receiving the subtle changes fed back by the Three-Element Extreme True Great Array, and at the same time controlled the probe rod to carefully continue to go deeper.

The butcher was also frowning, Gu Zuo remembered that this cheap second senior brother had mentioned that he had worked in the spirit mine, and he had some experience in mining operations, so he must have been the same as Gu Zuo, and he was also starting to worry.

Looking at Deacon Shang again, the old man has been sitting and waiting for two days, not leaving an inch, although there is no work for him now, but he must also wait, highly nervous, ready to connect the condensation circle to the mining circle at any time.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from the exit of the probe rod, and the light sound was intermittent, gradually connecting into a line, in Gu Zuo's ears, like the whistling sound that came out of the spout of the kettle when it was boiling.

"Chisel into forty-three zhang six feet seven inches, the direction Xun three turn away from six, out of breath!" Lingyuan Dao Chang shouted: "Go down the pit, quickly!"
