Chapter 17: The Trick of Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The next day, Wang An dug up a large amount of ore and received a reward from the immortal master, which quietly spread among the crowd.
When Wang An was mining, people came to ask him what secret he had to dig up more ore.
Wang An reluctantly explained, just because of good luck, and because of his strength.
Seeing the stones dug up by Wang An's pickaxe, people left in disbelief. They don't have that much strength, and they can dig such a big hole with a pickaxe.
After that, Wang An was much more careful, and basically just took a few pieces of ore out to make errands.
The outside rule is to dig up at least one piece of ore every day, and Wang An can exceed the task every day.
In the past few days, Wang An has bribed several old miners with ore, and he basically has a comprehensive understanding of the situation in this cave.
He knew that the bald man's name was Li Yong, who was the overseer's dogleg and would deduct the miner's spirit stone every day.
Just the day before yesterday, Li Yong led a few younger brothers to grab several spirit stones from Wang An.
and also put down the cruel words, in the future, Wang An will pay five ores a day, otherwise he will come to rob him.
Wang An nodded and agreed, but he kept this hatred in his heart.
Basically, the people who dig a lot are robbed by him. This time, among the new miners, Wang An was honorably remembered.
Li Yong is very principled, he basically only comes to grab it once a day, and how much of the rest is your own.
Wang An also learned from the old miner that Li Yong had also been rewarded with martial arts secrets by Xianmen.
Someone once took the lead in trying to resist, but was directly suppressed by Li Yong.
And the person who took the lead was not weak, but he was beaten alive by Li Yong and dragged away directly.
Since then, others have disappeared from the mine.
No one dared to try to challenge Li Yong's authority anymore.
Wang An used the news he inquired about, combined with the rumors he heard from Chi Zhan, he silently speculated that this was the spiritual ore vein that the two Xiuzhen sects were fighting for each other.
After discovering this secret, Wang An's heart was hot, and he was always thinking about how to make full use of the spirit stones here to improve himself.
Today, it's time for the Spirit Stone again.
Out of the hole, some people were smiling, and some people were depressed.
When it was Wang An's turn, someone in front of him suddenly quarreled with the old man who collected ore.
"Why don't you give me food if you don't dig up the ore today? How can I dig if I don't eat?" I won't do it...... I saw a young man with a gray face, who kept complaining to the old man.
"You're good, then you don't have to dig in the future. The old man had a strange smile on his face.
"Really? Great. The young man didn't know why, and asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, naturally it's true......"
The old man suddenly made a move, and a golden sword flashed away, slashing through the young man's neck and instantly returning to the old man's hand.
A blood-shot head suddenly flew out, and the smile on the man's face was faintly recognizable.
"Bang......" His body fell to the ground weakly, and blood was left on the ground.
said that it was too late at that time, and this scene happened in the blink of an eye, and Wang An just saw it.
Cruel and ruthless! This old man actually took people's heads in the midst of talking and laughing.
Wang An felt a chill in his heart. He was not afraid of the old man's mysterious methods, but was shocked by his cold-blooded ruthlessness.
Is this the world of cultivation? Treating human life as grass.
It wasn't until the young man's body landed on the ground that the people in the back reacted.
"Ah...... Kill!"
"Dead man. Run!"
There was a panic in the crowd, and someone was already so scared that they peed their pants.
"Hmph, quiet! you ants. I've given you so much time to get acquainted with this place, and there are still people who can't hand over the ore. I still want to have food without working, hum, dreaming. ”
The old man said to the flustered man with a cold face.
"Whoever shouts and shouts again. That man is your example. The old man pointed to the corpse on the ground.
"People who don't have ore get a cold steamed bun and continue to mine, and they eat when they dig ore when they are angry. ”
The people were frightened and fell silent.
Soon someone came to dispose of the body, and the trembling people began to line up again.
Those who didn't dig up the ore went to another wooden house to get a cold steamed bun, and dragged their tired bodies back to the mine.
After this happened, Wang An gradually felt a hint of crisis, and he became more and more eager to make himself strong and achieve the legendary foundation building cultivation.
He had heard Chi Zhan say that among the cultivators he knew so far, the most powerful was the foundation building period cultivation.
When one's cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, one has the opportunity to be promoted to the foundation building.
It had been almost a month since the young man died, and Wang An had finally figured out the situation in the entire mine.
In secret, Wang An directly controlled Li Yong and made him his pawn.
At this time, Wang An secretly rejoiced that he had learned some secret techniques of the Red Demon Cave, and now he could easily control Li Yong.
From Li Yong's mouth, he got a sketch of the terrain of a mine.
Wang An took the map, hoarded enough grain, and went to mine alone.
Wang An specially chose to go to some relatively remote mines, and many mines stopped working halfway through the digging because the interior was hard, and ordinary people couldn't dig at all.
After Wang An went there, he directly used his mana to dig the spirit stone, and when he was tired, he sat down to cultivate with the spirit stone, and when he was hungry, he ate some dry food and continued.
Day after day, Wang An felt that he was improving rapidly.
Today is the day when Wang An goes to Li Yong to replenish food, and Wang An will come back to replenish food once in ten days and a half months.
At this time, Li Yong told Wang An a very strange news.
He said that there was a place where the amount of ore was so large that it was the size of a thumb, and even the yellow halo on the surface of the stone was more intense.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
As soon as he heard this, a thought suddenly popped up in Wang An's heart: It won't be to dig out a more advanced spirit stone.
Although his heart was hot, Wang An still pretended not to care, but silently wrote down the area Li Yong said, and wondered how to find an opportunity to make a big profit.
After a few more days, Wang An finally figured out the situation of the mine that produced high-quality ore, and he asked Li Yong to take the opportunity to get him to that area.
Wang An found that the spirit stone here was very easy to baby, and it was very huge, and he had been digging for a few days without incident, and Wang An made a lot of money.
But recently, digging and digging, Wang An felt inexplicable unease and panic, as if he felt that something big was about to happen.
Wang An thought about it carefully, since he came to this area to dig spirit stones, there seemed to be something calling him in the dark.
