Chapter 76: The Mine

After teasing the beard steward, Zhou Shu felt quite comfortable, he leaned over to pick up the hoe and walked to the depths of the mine.

The deeper you go, the more white fog there is, and the more cold it becomes. He had to inject more spiritual power into the Warm Sun Jade Ring in order to resist the invasion of the cold air.

It doesn't feel good.

In this case, just by maintaining the warm yang jade ring, his spiritual power may not be enough.

Walking further inside, Zhou Shu saw several busy cultivators.

The cultivators glanced at him and felt strange, but they didn't say anything, and continued to fight with their hoes.

Zhou Shu stood aside and observed carefully.

These cultivators were very light-handed, using their hoes as brooms, sweeping back and forth in the mines, almost silent, and somewhat strange.

Zhou Shu also moved.

Soon he found out that this hoe is actually a magic weapon, as long as enough spiritual power is entered, the tip of the hoe will produce spiritual power vibration, just like a magic trick, the stones around the ore vein will be cracked and loosened, the design is ingenious, and it is used to mine a lot of labor.

But he didn't, his spiritual powers wouldn't allow it.

When, when, when!

The quiet cavern immediately became noisy.

The cultivators outside scolded, "What are you arguing about, do you know how to mine, are you a barbarian?"

"That's not a hoe, don't fool around!"

There are also those who are kind enough to explain, "Little brother, you try to input spiritual power to see, don't rely on strength alone, that won't work." ”

"Thank you, brother, I know. ”

Zhou Shu shouted, picked up the hoe and went inside for a while.

The sound of the bell sounded again, but it was far away, and no one complained.

Zhou Shu felt pretty good.

He has been refining his body for a few months, and he has been eating spiritual food, and his physical strength is only much higher than that of spiritual power, so it doesn't cost much effort to mine, and after digging for a long time, the heat surges all over his body, which is enough to compete with the cold of the outside world.

The internal heat and external cold, the two breaths are constantly intertwined, although the body is a little uncomfortable, but the muscles and blood are abnormally active, this feeling is somewhat similar to soaking in the medicine to quench the body, the body has a tendency to continue to increase, and the effect of refining the body seems to be good.

He simply gave up using the Warm Sun Jade Ring.

With a hint of satisfaction, he said, "This place is very suitable for body refining. ”

It's just that trouble is coming again, and he doesn't know where to dig mines.

I hoeed for a while, panting, and I didn't see a trace of the mine.

Zhou Shu stopped and observed left and right for a long time, there was a white mist everywhere, even if his eyesight was good, it was difficult to see where there was a trace of ore.

Dig it, just dig out a piece and see what it looks like.

Anyway, it's the first day, there is no target limit, and I'll figure it out when I get back.

Digging to the point that he was almost out of strength, nearly a thousand hoes went down, and sure enough, it was a coolie who paid off his efforts, and at Zhou Shu's feet, a small piece of gray-white vein appeared.

"Is that it?"

With some excitement and care, he carefully removed the surrounding dirt and stones, and a piece of iron ore was completely revealed.

The pale gray ore, with a glittering light on it, is as cold as ice to the touch, and the aura is very abundant, and the fog crystal iron is extracted from it.

Mist Crystal Iron is a second-order cold iron that is widely used in the immortal cultivation world.

Looking at this piece of iron ore that was less than two catties, Zhou Shu was a little embarrassed.

Dig like this by yourself, it definitely won't work, you can only rely on strength without spiritual power, and you don't know the trick of prospecting, it's only two catties, it took more than an hour, forty catties, and it's not enough to dig all day without rest.

The task is really difficult, but it must be done when it is assigned, and the bearded steward cannot be allowed to see the joke, let alone let Liu Anmin's trick succeed.

If he gave up chores, Zhou Shu would not be able to contribute, not to mention, and he would even be deducted benefits and expelled from the sect.

"This thing is similar to the aura of the lower grade spirit stone, can you use a small roller to find it?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhou Shu's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt right, "Xiao Roll is too sensitive to aura, and it's so fat...... If you don't make any effort, you should slaughter and eat. ”

Thinking of this, his mood was much better.

Zhou Shu picked up the iron ore, picked up the hoe, and walked towards the exit.

There were two cultivators who were not mining, and were chatting with their hoes, "Lao Zhang, how much did you dig today?"

"Barely seventy-three, almost eighty. ”

"It's not bad, it's better to open this newly opened mine, there are many mines. I don't know how the new kid is, can he come and have a hand?"

"What's the use of being a newcomer, just refining the fourth layer of the Qi Realm, let's take a look first. ”

"It's not good, it depends on luck. ”

Zhou Shu walked over, but the two of them were still talking to themselves, and they didn't even look at Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

Walking out of the mine, the cool air rested for a while, and he walked in front of Xu Lie with the iron ore.

Xu Lie glanced at him, still with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "I actually dug up a piece, and I can have such an achievement in two hours, which is worth congratulating." ”

Zhou Shu ignored his ridicule, "Steward Xu, count, I will make up for today's difference in catties later." ”

Xu Lie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "It's a bit interesting to have this thought, don't worry, I'll remember it for you." ”

Zhou Shu put down the iron ore and hoe, didn't say much, and walked directly down the mountain.

Sou.

A small jade bottle flew from behind and landed in front of him, accompanied by Xu Lie's rough voice, "Eat it, otherwise you won't want to come tomorrow." ”

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned, turned around, with a hint of anger on his face, and squeezed the jade bottle in his hand tightly.

"Steward, what do you mean by that?"

His emotions have always been well restrained, but since he started, there have been too many unfair treatments, and he can't help it.

Xu Lie said lightly, "Looking at your body of ice slag, you must have dug it hard with physical strength, right?

Zhou Shu looked at himself, he was indeed covered in ice slag, most likely because he had sweated profusely before, and the sweat came into contact with the cold fog and finally condensed, but he didn't pay attention to it.

He looked at Xu Lie coldly, "So what?"

Xu Lie snorted, "You use the cold mist to quench your body is a bit of a thought, but with your little ability, you still want to resist the cold mist here? Ignorance! Although you can't feel it, the cold has penetrated deeply into your body, if you don't use Yangchun Dan to drive away the cold qi that falls into your body, you are ready to lie down for half a month." If you come to mine in the future, you will either use spiritual power honestly, or you will ......"

With that, he turned around and left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Shu was stunned for a while, then sat down cross-legged and checked it suspiciously.

He was immediately shocked by this inspection.

Shicai was busy with mining, and he hadn't used spiritual power, so he didn't think it at all, and now he found out that the problem was serious.

As Xu Lie said, the cold mist had already penetrated into his body, and the blood was a little stagnant, and there was even a thin layer of frost outside the qi vein wall.

If it goes on like this, let alone lying for half a month, it is possible that the qi veins will be damaged again.

He hurriedly opened the jade bottle, took out a fiery red pill, looked at it for a while, and then put it in his mouth.

The pill quickly dissolved, and the warm current flowed from top to bottom, flowing through all parts of his body, and bursts of white smoke emitted from his body, which gradually dissipated after a quarter of an hour.

After his body returned to normal, Zhou Shu slowly stood up, looked around, and couldn't find Xu Lie to thank him, so he had to go down the mountain.
