Volume 1 Two Years of Foundation Building Chapter 37 The Deadline
"After the spirit stone vein in front is captured, we need to mine all the spirit stones in the mine as soon as possible, and the temporary disciples and the servants and miscellaneous servants who are in the opening vein stage are all ready, you will set off in the near future. ”
After the Yunyang Sect Master finished speaking, the temporary disciples, slaves and miscellaneous servants were all stunned, you look at me, I look at you.
Yan Yue secretly said in his heart, sure enough!
Ever since the Yunyang Sect Master announced that all those who failed the entrance test could stay, Yan Yue felt that there was something strange about this matter. It's just that, with what he saw at that time, how could he know what kind of abacus the Yunyang Sect Master was playing in his belly.
He had the experience of being arrested to open a mine, and knew that a person who was in the opening stage was the best laborer to mine the spirit stone mine. Thinking about the progress of the war, he faintly thought that once the spirit stone mine was captured, it would be necessary for laborers to open the mine......
And the truth is just as Yan Yue expected.
The Yunyang Sect Master intends to take advantage of the situation to capture the veins of the Golden Jiaomen, and after capturing the spirit stone mine, he will mine all these spirit stone mines.
And in order to mine all the spirit stones in a short period of time, a large number of miners are needed, and in the entry test, those who have failed to open the veins under the spiritual light are all excellent laborers, how could the Yunyang Sect Master let them go back.
Among the slaves and miscellaneous servants, most of them were ordinary mortals who did laundry and cooking, and a small number of them were people who had not passed the entrance test over the years, and the Yunyang Sect Master left them as slaves, but forbade them to cultivate upwards, for this moment.
In fact, Qi refining cultivators are more efficient in mining spirit stones than people in the pulse opening stage, but these people can absorb the spiritual power in spirit stones, and when they open mines, they still stare at them one by one, so it is naturally impossible for them to open mines.
Among the temporary disciples, some people were immediately unhappy, but they didn't dare to say it clearly, and knocked on the side and said: "The Golden Jiaomen has been occupied for so long, hasn't the spirit stone been mined by them yet?"
The Golden Jiaomen has always regarded the low-level of Qi refining as a waste, and the low-level of Qi refining is only worthy of being a slave in the Golden Jiaomen, and there is no such lenient door rule as opening the pulse in one year. Due to the fact that there are few people in the sect in the opening stage, after capturing the spirit stone mine of the Yunyang Sect, the miners can only be arrested on the spot.
And the Yunyang Sect Master's chess is a high move, and over the years, there have been some people in the opening stage who are ready to be used later.
Naturally, the high-level will not explain the reason to the people below.
The grumpy elder in front of the high platform immediately reprimanded: "Since this sect has already organized you to go to the mines, naturally they haven't finished mining! You already have half a year and need to serve as miners, but this time everyone works together, and they can finish it all in more than a month, what else do you want?"
Due to the need for labor to mine the spirit stone mine, over the years, most of the disciples who are in the opening stage have to serve half a year as miners.
Some people also know about this matter, and they don't speak anymore at the moment, but this time it is a war, and under the war, it is inevitable that it will be affected, and they are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed, and they all sigh.
After the Zhuji Elder sang with a white face, the Yunyang Sect Master said softly: "There must be other laborers in the ore veins, you can mine them together, and you will be able to mine them soon." ”
He looked around at the people below, smiled slightly, and said again: "Once the war is over, after you return, the sect will immediately reward you, each of whom will have a piece worth one hundred taels of silver!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
The so-called wealth and danger are sought, and after this trip, they can be glorious for a lifetime, and they suddenly have the consciousness of risking their lives and not giving up.
This thing, worth a hundred taels of silver, is a low-grade spirit stone.
These people have a vague concept of spirit stones, but the concept of money is deep-rooted.
It's just that they don't know that a low-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred taels of silver, which is just a value reference, not a real equivalent. If you really want to exchange spirit stones for silver, you need to find someone who is willing to exchange them, after all, gold and silver are also rare things.
A low-grade spirit stone is also worth one or two gold. It's just that a mortal really has a tael of gold, what is it bad for, but he wants to exchange it for a spirit stone that is useless to them.
However, among the monks, they use spirit stones as currency, and if they really have the intention to exchange money for spirit stones, they may not be able to get enough silver.
The Yunyang Sect Master and the elder in the audience, one with a red face and the other with a white face, under the coaxing and deception, these people were in high spirits.
The Yunyang Sect Master finally said: "Once there is good news ahead, you need to set off immediately, and then you will be directly transported by war boat, these days, you must be ready at all times!"
After he finished speaking, he then announced the third matter, and at this time his face was full of a smile of relief and comfort, "This year, the sect is fortunate to recruit a Tianzhong talent, and he and the rest of the mid-grade spiritual light will be named rookie disciples!"
It turned out that the Yunyang Sect Master wanted to directly accept Xiao Tianchai as an apprentice and make him an honorary disciple.
But Xiao Tianchai said that he didn't want to have any privileges, and insisted on starting as a registered disciple. No, since he entered the sect, he has been mixed with those registered disciples every day.
This gave the Yunyang Sect Master a headache, and after thinking about it hard, he calculated that he would add a first-class disciple, and in the spirit of not engaging in privileges, he would also divide the other middle-grade spiritual light people recruited this year.
Then, he beckoned Xiao Tianchai, Jin Mingxiu and several others to the high platform and read out the monthly benefits of the rookie disciples.
This month's case is comparable to the treatment of honorary disciples, which makes the people below envious.
The Yunyang Sect Master took advantage of the situation to speak, "Those who are just starting this year, who are still in the pulse opening stage, if they succeed in opening the pulse within ten days, or, those who are at the lower level of qi refining, who break through to the fourth layer of qi refining within one month, can be named rookie disciples!"
When the people below heard this, they praised one after another, "This matter is fair!
It's just that not all of the people are fools, and the words of the Yunyang Sect Master seem to be fair to everyone, but those who are still in the stage of opening the pulse will set off to open a mine in the near future, so how can they still have time to cultivate.
And this year, most of the low-level Qi refining disciples who have just started Qi refining are at the first or second level of Qi refining, and a few with good talent have been excluded, and the rest of them want to break through to the fourth level of Qi refining within a month, which is simply a fool's dream.
The Yunyang Sect Master looked at the applause from the audience, and was satisfied.
At this moment, Xiao Tianchai suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of him, "Sect Master, everyone has a mission, the disciple hates to serve the sect, but he still has to suffer in vain, my heart is really uneasy!"
Xiao Tianchai's sudden appearance, Yunyang Sect Master was unexpected, looking at Xiao Tianchai's sincere gaze, the old man was relieved, helped him up, and said softly: "Your mission is to cultivate well!"
Xiao Tianchai's face was full of sadness, and he couldn't help but ask for his life, "Please ask the sect master to give the disciple a responsibility, the disciple is willing to die for the sect!"
Several other elders stepped onto the high platform one after another, "Genius, with your qualifications, you can just cultivate with peace of mind! Even if the sky falls, there are masters who will stand up to it!"
They sighed in their hearts, this genius is not only low-key, indisputable with the world, but also has such a sense of responsibility, which is really commendable! No, we must reward him with more good treasures!
The head of the He family has been sitting in the Yunyang Sect for the past few days, he was originally between the two factions of Yunyang and Jinjiao, but now he not only sent the Qilin Zi in the clan to the Yunyang Sect, but also sent troops to help, and in the Yunyang Sect, he assumed the identity of a guest elder, which has been completely bound to the Yunyang Sect.
At this time, he was about to leave, and after saying goodbye to the elders of Yunyang, he pulled Xiao Tianchai aside and said his last instructions before leaving.
"Genius, with your talent, there will be better development in other sects, you really think about it, you want to stay here?"
Xiao Tianchai said lightly: "Yes, be closer to home." ”
It turned out that sending Xiao Tianchai to the Yunyang Sect was not the original intention of the head of the He family, but Xiao Tianchai's own insistence on coming.
Seeing this, the head of the He family thought in his heart that he was closer to the family, and it would indeed be convenient to benefit the family in the future. He didn't persuade him more, and after a few words of advice, he left in the air.
Xiao Tianchai looked at his departing figure, and sneered in his heart, old thing, my name, in the near future, I will personally change it back!
Xiao Tianchai was born in the end of the side branch abandoned by the He family, his mother's surname is He, and his father's surname is Xiao. When he opened his spirit, he realized that his mother's family was a side branch abandoned by the He family.
His original name was changed to He Tiancai, in the eyes of others, this is an extremely glorious thing, but in Xiao Tianchai's eyes, this is a great shame.
"If the strength is not enough, you will be exploited by the strong!" Yan Yue was gloomy and dull in his heart.
In this world, the middle class suppresses the bottom level, and the middle and bottom people are exploited by the upper class.
In fact, this is also the natural law of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle. Those who are at the top of the food chain, if they have no natural enemies, can always do whatever they want, and if they don't want to be eaten by him, they can only become stronger than him.
Yan Yue followed the crowd back to the mountain gate and saw a few acquaintances in the crowd.
Cao Lin, He Dacheng and others, who were born in Dashu Village, were only registered disciples in the Yunyang Sect.
In this war, the easiest thing is to register the disciples, neither to fight to the death, nor to mine spirit stones, Cao Lin and the others are secretly rejoicing.
He Dacheng looked at a certain direction in the sky, his eyes showed a determined look, and when he retracted his gaze, he saw Yan Yue coming this way from afar, and immediately greeted him.
Halfway through the greeting, He Dacheng seemed to remember something, his expression was a little embarrassed, and when Yan Yue came closer, he smiled and said: "That day, it's not that we won't come out, even if we come out, we won't be able to save you." ”
He was talking about the events in the ruined temple that day.
Yan Yue was in a heavy mood at this time, he understood the reason, and he didn't complain that they didn't save them when they saw the difficulty, but he didn't say anything polite, just nodded slightly.
On the side, Cao Lin said indifferently: "What is there to explain, he can't hide his breath, and he doesn't blame us!"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Yan Yue with an exaggerated expression: "The junior disciple of the honorary disciple that day, also called Yan Yue, could it be you?"
Cao Lin often spoke to Yan Yue, but Yan Yue didn't have a good impression of him, and made an expression that was neither acknowledgment nor denial.
Cao Lin looked at Yan Yue suspiciously, his eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.
