Chapter 144: The Fire of the Heart

Five days later, Jiang Xing took six thousand spirit stones to the northern area of the Qingchuan Market, the Mine Slave Market.

The mining slave market is very popular in the immortal cultivation world, for no other reason, countless families of various sects and factions in the immortal cultivation world own countless mines, and there must be a large number of people to mine, so, among various reasons, the mining slaves appeared, and then, the mining slave market also appeared.

And mining all kinds of spirit ores is extremely hard, and mortals can't mine them at all, so the miners are all monks.

Walking into the mining slave market, Jiang Xing looked at the naked miners here, as if they were selling livestock, wearing collars around their necks, locked in cages for people to choose.

Jiang Xing walked all the way through the mine slave market, and all the mine slaves he saw were walking corpses with dull eyes.

At this time, a seller couldn't help but greet Jiang Xing when he saw Jiang Xing looking at his mining slave:

"Guest officer, come in and take a look, these mine slaves of mine are all mine slaves who have been enslaved for more than ten years and have been completely enslaved, and there will be no escape or resistance if you buy them back!"

Jiang Xing looked at the glazed-eyed slaves and shook his head and left.

He wanted a reliable and calm living man, not a walking corpse with only obedience.

Jiang Xing continued to walk, and what he saw were mine slaves with all kinds of expressions, and these people's faces were full of hatred, or jealousy, numbness, anger, and other expressions, and similarly, these expressions also represented the hearts of these people.

These are not the people Jiang Xing wants, what he wants is a person with a calm and strong mentality.

A pair of contemplative and indifferent eyes appeared in Jiang Xing's eyes, Jiang Xing smiled knowingly, and finally found someone available.

This person was a bearded man, who had cultivated to the middle stage of congenital development, and seeing that Jiang Xing had been looking at him, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he knew that he was going to fall into a new fire pit next.

"Boss, how many years has he been a mining slave?"

"Twenty-three years, he is the most capable of all the mining slaves, other mining slaves will bury their heads in mining, but he can know how to observe the ore rock, find out which places contain rich minerals, so as to complete the task every day beyond production, if it is not for the hollowing out of the Qishan mine, there is no need for so many people, and he is really reluctant to sell him. ”

has been a mining slave for twenty-three years, has not gone crazy, has not become a walking corpse, it can be seen that this person is extremely strong-willed, knows how to use his brain to work, and it can be seen that this person is also an extremely intelligent person.

Jiang Xing said: "How many spirit stones?"

The boss said, "One thousand two hundred!"

Jiang Xing said: "It's too expensive, eight hundred!"

The boss said: "Guest officer, the mine slaves are all monks, they are not as worthless as mortal slaves, the work done by a monk is not something that ordinary people can do, the ore is extremely hard, mortals can't move a single bit, only the monk uses the Zhenshan mine hoe to dig it! The minimum is 1,000, and it can't be less!"

Jiang Xing was silent for a while, estimated that the price was about the same, and said, "Okay, deal!" while handing over the spirit stone.

The boss immediately took the spirit stone with a smile on his face and handed Jiang Xing a bronze round ballway:

"Guest, this forbidden soul ball imprisons a wisp of his soul, you have to put it away, the forbidden soul ball not only holds his life and death in the palm of his hand through that wisp of soul, but also controls the collar around his neck to control his cultivation, in case he breaks out and hurts people. ”

Jiang Xing took the forbidden soul ball, pulled the chains that bound the hands of the mine slave and continued to walk, looking at the mine slaves in the iron cages on both sides all the way.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his thirties appeared in Jiang Xing's eyes, and Jiang Xing stared at the collar around his neck without blinking.

Although the surface of that collar was very normal, Jiang Xing was sure that the runes inside that collar must have been destroyed!

Because when Jiang Xing swept the collar around the neck of the black-faced middle-aged man for the first time, he found some subtle abnormalities in the collar.

Although everything was normal in the eyes of others, in Jiang Xing's eyes, other people's collars contained a faint aura, while his was dim.

If Jiang Xing's guess is right, the collar must have been melted by some method, causing the collar to lose its efficacy, if it weren't for Jiang Xing's cultivation of the Nine Shades Yin and Yang Eyes to the second layer, he could see some spiritual power flowing in the air, and he really couldn't find it!

"How many spirit stones does this person have?"

"Eight hundred!"

"Deal!"

......

Then, Jiang Xing picked three more people in the mining slave market, these three people were all in the innate stage of cultivation, each with their own strengths, Jiang Xing saw that although these three people looked haggard, but their eyes were clear, and they were not like other people who acted like puppets, so he bought them.

After bringing the five people back to the Kyushu Refinery, Jiang Xing called Ah Li and Xiao Fan to his side, and said to the five:

"Listen, these two are the treasurers and refiners of the Kyushu Refining Workshop, and you must obey their arrangements in the future! Also, I will not buy you to make you slaves! So you don't have to think about escaping or anything! My little shop can't watch you, and I won't watch you, so those who want to sneak away have a lot of opportunities. I know that you are afraid that a wisp of your soul is in my hands, so you don't dare to act rashly, but don't worry, after listening to what I say, it is up to you to choose to stay!"

Ah Li and Xiao Fan listened to Jiang Xing's words, and looked at Jiang Xing with surprise on their faces, they didn't understand why Jiang Xing spent a lot of money to buy his hair and let them go.

Jiang Xing continued: "I bought you back because I wanted to train you to become a refiner to work for this shop, so I won't treat you as slaves!

"First point, after joining this refining workshop, because I need to teach you some secret methods of refining, so for the sake of secrecy, the forbidden soul ball cannot be returned to you, and those who leak the secret methods will die!"

When Xiao Fan heard that he was going to teach them the secret method of refining weapons, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his expression was gloomy.

Jiang Xing saw Xiao Fan's gloomy expression, so he sent a message to him: "The secret method is very important, in order to ensure that it is not leaked, it can only be taught to these people who have drawn out a wisp of soul, if you want to learn, you can only learn it for a while, and then I will set up a contribution point system, as the first refiner in our store, you can learn it without drawing out a soul, you just need to contribute points!"

Seeing that Xiao Fan's expression changed from cloudy to sunny, Jiang Xing said to the five again:

"The second point is that when you have made enough contributions to this store, you can return the Forbidden Soul Orb to you, and you can even leave!"

"The third point is that spirit stones will be given every month according to your labor, and you can spend these spirit stones as you want, and I can tell you that if you do things obediently, there will never be no less than three hundred spirit stones a month, of course, when you can refine magic weapons, the spirit stones can reach more than two thousand a month, which is a monthly salary that you can't get anywhere!"

"Fourth, the secret methods taught to you must not be taught to each other, and those who violate them will be abolished from cultivation!"

"The above are the rules and benefits that must be followed if you stay, now you can decide whether to go or stay, and I will return the forbidden soul ball to those who leave, and you will be free from now on!"

Five slaves, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know if what Jiang Xing said is true or false, but when Jiang Xing untied the chains on their bodies, they all believed it.

As Jiang Xing expected, all five of them chose to stay, and Jiang Xing secretly praised his vision and did not waste spirit stones.

These five people were carefully selected by him, whether they would escape or leave Jiang Xing had already considered, and besides, he was just a small shop, if these five people wanted to escape, I am afraid they would definitely find an opportunity to kill him first and recapture the Forbidden Soul Ball.

So for the sake of safety, when he picks someone, he first observes whether the other party is the kind of person with extreme thinking.

Another point is that Jiang Xing has to consider how strong their desire to go home is, and people who are too strong will not be able to stay no matter what benefits they promise, and this kind of person is not what Jiang Xing wants.

The five people he chose, although they also wanted to escape from slave life, their eyes were not crazy, and they were very clear, indicating that these five people were not homesick and crazy, and Jiang Xing estimated that these five people were all homeless.

Seeing that the five of them were willing to stay, in the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Xing asked Xiao Fan to teach them to refine weapons, while he went to the market to buy a large number of elixirs for cultivating the Nine Shadows Yin and Yang Purpose and came back.

After another seven days, Jiang Xing was practicing alchemy in the warehouse of the Kyushu Refining Workshop, only to see him throwing elixirs into the alchemy furnace one by one, while controlling Nanming to leave the fire, suddenly with a bang, the alchemy furnace exploded, and a wisp of green smoke came out of the alchemy furnace.

Jiang Xing said: "Damn! Failed again, doesn't Lao Tzu have the talent for alchemy? I spent five thousand spirit stones to buy this Dan furnace in vain!"

Xiao Fan was refining the weapon on the side, and was startled by this sound, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Xing blowing up the furnace again:

"The boss's voice is really good, and I was scared of my hands, and the magic weapons in my hands were all refined. ”

Behind Xiao Fan, the five big men who were practicing processing materials also laughed, and they were arranged by Jiang Xing to process materials before learning refining here.

These five people are now also starting to fight with Jiang Xing and the three of them, among which Shao Zeng's bearded man is the most optimistic, often making people laugh.

Jiang Xing knew from telling his story that he was originally a monk of the Jingzhou family, but after the family was destroyed by the enemy, he was captured and reduced to a slave.

And when he was captured, the monks who were captured with them, as long as they knew how to refine weapons or alchemy, were pardoned, and all of them were arranged to work in the refining workshop or alchemy room, and they could only be slaves!

That's the main reason why he stayed!

Moreover, his relatives were either killed by the enemy or were also reduced to slavery, and there were no relatives to flee to.

Therefore, being able to learn refining tools is what he has always hoped for the most.

The black-faced middle-aged man in his thirties on Shao Zeng's left is called Zong Borui, he was originally a casual cultivator, and he occasionally obtained a fire of ancient secret arts, this technique does not need true qi, only the power of the mind can be used, so he originally planned to use it to sneak attack the slave owner and snatch back the forbidden soul ball. It's just that I didn't expect to meet such a good boss as Jiang Xing, so I dispelled the idea and stayed.

The remaining three people are called Xiang Caifang, Zhao Du, and Li Peixian, and these three have one thing in common with Shao Zeng and Zong Borui, that is, they each have their own skills.

Jiang Xing didn't care about their laughter, he cleaned up the alchemy furnace and continued to refine the pill, just now this was his twenty-sixth alchemy, and the results all failed without exception, at this time, he had already used up the elixir given by the seven beasts, and the medicinal materials he used now were all purchased by him.
