Wang Xiaofu lit a pine resin torch before entering the mine, and saw Chen San, who had picked up a short-handled shovel next to the entrance of Cave No. 60, walk in, and followed Chen San.

Chen San is a monk, his body has been strengthened by spiritual power transformation in cultivation, no matter how bad it is, he can still see a rough idea in this kind of dark cave, but Wang Xiaofu can't, holding a torch while walking, while lighting the grease lamp that has been installed in the cave wall.

The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to the end of the cave.

Chen San stood still, but his divine consciousness spread out and probed through the cave wall.

After a few breaths, Chen San waved the special magic weapon in his hand, the shovel specially made for mining, and dug to the left.

The immortal cultivator's physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and Chen San dug forward before stopping. After a little rest, Chen San swung the shovel again and dug hard.

After Chen San's physique was cultivated and the spiritual object was melted, not only did his physical strength increase, but even his strength and endurance were much stronger than those of ordinary immortal cultivators, and he could dig several zhang of the cave wall in a row without resting. It's just that Chen San doesn't want to attract attention, so he is like an ordinary immortal cultivator, and he will rest after digging a certain distance.

Under Chen San's strong arm strength, coupled with the shovel magic weapon made of special materials in his hand, the hard cave wall was like a mud pinch, and it easily turned into piles of gravel and fell behind him.

Behind Chen San, Wang Xiaofu and ten villagers continued to pick out the gravel he dug out of the mine one by one and piled it up, and there would be an immortal master to deal with these huge piles of rubble.

Chen San's eyes lit up, and he used a shovel to crack a few cracks at the cave wall, and with a hard prie, a large piece of gray rock rolled down.

Chen San used the shovel in his hand to knock on the limestone, and each blow was not strong, just knocking out a broken corner.

Knocking on the next broken corner again, a rough and dull silver white appeared on one side of the limestone, Chen San turned the limestone to the other side and continued to beat.

Finally, a palm that could only be held by one hand, and a pear-sized amount of silver-white ore appeared in Chen San's palm.

The rough surface, as if weathered, withered silver stone was put into a bag made of animal skin around his waist under Chen San's scrutiny.

The divine sense dispersed and sensed, and the shovel in Chen San's hand waved, and piles of rubble formed behind him.

After digging up the three withered silver stones, he sensed it with his divine sense, and Chen San followed the original path back to the end where he had come from before and dug up.

Wang Xiaofu and others did not pick out the gravel excavated by Chen San now, but filled it into the fork in the dry silver stone that Chen San had just dug out.

The dry silver stone mine leads to the underground in the shape of a belt, and in the middle of this long belt is the monks who are evenly distributed and each person is responsible for a certain range, which just fills this belt.

Originally, this dry silver stone mine was expected to need sixty loose cultivators in the Qingshuang Gate, so that the workload of casual cultivation would not be reduced much, but it could greatly reduce the scope of scattered cultivation's divine consciousness detection, and it could work for a longer time.

Unfortunately, the good remuneration of the mine could not withstand the waste of time during the daily break, and many of them chose to leave after working for a period of time, resulting in a shortage of manpower in the mine.

At night, Chen San was able to dig three pieces of dry silver stone, and according to the rule that if you dig two pieces of dry silver stone, you will get a lower grade spirit stone, and the remuneration is more generous than expected.

Wang Xiaofu and the others all went back to the wooden house to eat, drink and rest, but before going back, according to Chen San's instructions, they first went to ask Feng Xiaoxiao for a medium-grade storage bag.

The mine is understaffed, and when the mine digs deeper in the future, the number of mortals needed will be even larger, and it will be necessary to equip medium or even high-grade storage bags to load the large piles of gravel dug up to replace manpower.

The same is true at night, when mortals cannot help, and the monks have to use their own storage bags to carry the rubble.

The rule of casual cultivation entering the mine to work is to mine during the day and cultivate at night, so as not to let the cultivation fall too much.

However, the aura here is extremely thin, and ten nights of cultivation are not worth one night in the outside world, and they can only use the night time for mining.

There is no porter to work at night, so the only way to carry gravel is to use storage bags, and it also takes spiritual power to stuff items into storage bags. If there is more rubble, the more spiritual power will be used, and usually after one night of excavation, the spiritual power in the dantian of a monk in the early stage of enlightenment will be exhausted.

Although the spirit stone can also replenish the spiritual power, if a monk in the late stage of enlightenment wants to fill the dantian, he needs almost one lower-grade spirit stone, and in the early stage of enlightenment, a lower-grade spirit stone can replenish the spiritual power of the dantian twice.

One night down, good luck to dig a half-spirit stone, luck is generally only one, if you are unlucky, you will dig a withered silver stone, one night in vain.

In the secluded cave, the sound of "click" and "click" continued to echo and spread far away. Chen San's body, whose spiritual power was scattered on his body, was not stained in the slightest, but the clothes on his body were dusty, and there were several damages on the sleeves and hems.

Digging out a large piece of limestone and putting it on the ground, Chen San stopped his movements and sat on top of the limestone.

Chen San calculated the time, and there were still about two hours before dawn.

Touching the animal skin bag on his waist, there were as many as five dry silver stones inside, and Chen San actually dug two more in the middle of the night.

Previously, Zhao Meng had said to Chen San that after working for many days, the casual cultivators generally dug about one to three pieces of dry silver stone in a day, that is, the average daily result was two pieces of dry silver stone in exchange for one low-grade spirit stone. If you also work at night, counting the consumption of spirit stones to replenish the spiritual power of the dantian, you can also get half a lower grade spirit stone.

After a month, after deducting some other factors, a casual cultivator can get as many as forty low-grade spirit stones.

Although there are many spirit stones, if there are not extremely needed things to buy in a hurry, they would rather go to some ordinary spiritual places to find some materials or elixirs in exchange for spirit stones, they can earn spirit stones while cultivating, and if they are lucky, it is even a small fortune to find some high-level spiritual objects.

Chen San didn't think about the issue of spirit stones, although he was very short of them now, he really couldn't look at one or two lower-grade spirit stones a day.

Untied the animal skin bag, took out a piece of dry silver stone, and placed it in the palm of his right hand, Chen San's eyes flashed, and he thought quickly in his heart.

Time was not counted, Chen San's eyes froze, and the spiritual power of the dantian was running rapidly, and it was constantly sent to his right hand. The skin of the palm of the hand holding the withered silver stone reveals layers of spiritual light, but it is not dazzling, only close to the skin one finger.

The withered silverstone held in the palm of the hand was illuminated by the spiritual light, and the hard and rough stone surface quickly softened, and in the end, the surface of the withered silverstone was like a puddle of silver mud attached to the stone surface.

Under the operation of Chen San's "True Soil Condensation Determination" exercise, the withered silver stone quickly turned into a liquid mass with a shimmering silver luster.

The aura of the palm against the skin began to retract into the palm, and along with the aura, there were traces of silver liquid separated from the silver liquid mass.

Time passed quickly, and Chen San's palm was empty, and the silver liquid mass had been inhaled into his body.

The silver liquid mass inhaled into the body runs with the spiritual power of the meridians, and every trace of it is separated and sticks to the vein wall. After the silver liquid filaments spread all over the body's meridians, Chen San urged the exercises.

Under Chen San's inner vision, the silver filaments on the walls of all the meridians seeped out at the same time under the impetus of the exercises, blending with the flesh and blood of the body.

At this time, Chen San's brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, looking very painful, but he didn't exhale.

Exhaling heavily, Chen San's expression soothed, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and calculated the time, an hour had not yet arrived.

Feeling the liquefaction of spiritual power in the dantian's body, Chen Sanxi said: "I didn't expect that the ten-grade withered silver stone could be melted and absorbed within an hour, and one more piece could be absorbed before dawn." It seems that my original idea was to do the right thing, so that I can quickly improve my cultivation, and there is more hope for returning to Qianli as soon as possible. ”

It turned out that Chen San had agreed to Zhao Meng's employment, and his idea was to mix into the mine first, and then find an opportunity to smelt and absorb dry silver stone to quickly increase his cultivation.

The withered silver stone is a ten-grade spiritual material, which is often used to refine ordinary magic weapons, and the attributes of the magic weapons made are cold and sharp, and it is suitable for the three spiritual root disciples of wind attributes, water attributes, and non-attributes.

For these refining minerals, most of them are refined and used by the sect after they are obtained, and they rarely go to the outside world, even if this mineral is only the lowest-grade refining material.

At the beginning, Chen San searched in the Xianbaofang stall, but found nothing but the mysterious black stone, which is the reason.

This withered silver stone is also a little stocked in Qingyunmen. Chen San learned about this kind of material during a review of the classics, and used a research excuse to exchange a piece of spirit stone and go back to try to melt it.

Twenty lower-grade spirit stones were exchanged for a dry silver stone, which was not in Chen San's eyes at that time. After absorption, Chen San also found that the effect was average, and after absorbing the spiritual power inside a piece of dry silver stone, it was only equivalent to three days of sleepless penance.

After doing the math, at that time, all Chen San's belongings, 14,000 lower-grade spirit stones, were exchanged for withered silver stone melting and absorption, and it could only allow Chen San to cultivate to the late stage of enlightenment, which was really not a bad deal.

And even if Chen San wanted to exchange for more withered silver stones, he wouldn't dare, and it was doubtful that a disciple in the Enlightenment Period would exchange so many materials.

Now that such a great opportunity is in front of him, Chen San has no reason to give up.

Judging from the current situation, Chen San is not short of these two magic weapons and spirit stones for the time being, what is lacking is cultivation, powerful cultivation.

Even if Chen San only melted and absorbed one piece of dry silver stone in one day, he could still cultivate to the late stage of enlightenment within two years. At that time, Chen San will go to some fang markets to see some sect recruitment and mining places, and when he mixes with the later stage of the Great Perfection, he will prepare to impact the foundation building period.

It's not that Chen San doesn't want to directly cultivate here to the peak of the late stage of enlightenment, but a monk in the middle stage of enlightenment cultivates to the late stage of enlightenment in a place where his aura is extremely weak, and he can also use the statement that he is just one line away from entering the late stage realm.

As for cultivating to the Great Perfection in the late stage of enlightenment, it is equivalent to cultivating from the early stage of enlightenment to the late stage of enlightenment, which is as incredible, and it is strange if Chen San is not captured and asked to understand.
