On this day, Ye Chen finished his cultivation in Nanhu and walked into the camp in the mining area.

Captain Qin was patrolling the camp with a small team, and when he saw Ye Chen coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and followed behind Ye Chen.

"Boss, you're back. The Xianmen exam is also in this month. Your old strength is at the peak of the eighth layer of the Qi refining period, and the cultivation of the three generations of disciples in the Immortal Sect is also extremely high. I don't know what your plans are, whether you can go back to Xianmen to take the big exam?"

Captain Qin observed the words.

In the past two years, Ye Chen has deliberately lowered his cultivation by one layer, and he has always been at the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period. The monks in the mining area, including Chief Captain Qin, thought that he had always been an eighth-layer cultivator in the Qi Refining Period, and they did not have the slightest doubt about this.

"It's almost time to go back to Xianmen in the next few days. In the past two years, there has been nothing in the mining area, the mine slaves have not rioted, and the supervisors and guards have also done their duty, and Captain Qin has made great contributions!"

Ye Chen smiled at Captain Qin.

"Anyway, it's all in the hands of the big boss! The little ones just do what they are told. ”

Captain Qin looked flattered, "I don't know how to arrange the affairs of this mining area after you return to Xianmen, such as accounts." What he is most concerned about is the small account book in Ye Chen's hand, as long as there is this small account book, who up and down the mining area dares to disobey orders.

Ye Chen glanced at Captain Qin, knew his thoughts, and said lightly, "If I can't win the ranking in the Immortal Gate Examination, I'm afraid I'll still stay in the mining area for the next three years." However, if it succeeds, if you get Tsukidan, I'm afraid you won't come back, and a new manager will take over here. For the sake of your dedication in the past two years, I will hand over the small account book to you in a while. ”

"Thank you, Steward!"

Captain Qin was overjoyed, the chief manager really understood people, and it was not in vain that he had done his best in the past two years.

After Ye Chen returned to the mining area, he summoned the three slave heads in the mine.

In the past two years, under his arrangement, the food treatment of the miners has been greatly improved, as well as a lot of healing herbs and quenching herbs.

The three slave leaders were all grateful, and when they heard Ye Chen say that they were leaving the mining area, they immediately ordered the mine slaves to carry several third-order and fourth-order black iron ores in their back baskets, as well as other ores, and gave them to Ye Chen as a thank you.

Ye Chen didn't refuse, he accepted it all.

Ye Chen built a small warehouse in his Immortal Mansion Island to store these ores. Those that exceed the third order can't be put into the Immortal Mansion, and can only be put into a small storage bag, which is almost full of small storage bags.

There was also a director and chief foreman in the mine, who had been inserted by the Miscellaneous Servants' Hall, but they were completely elevated, everything was excluded, and they were almost marginalized in the mine, and no one mentioned them.

Ye Chen arranged the affairs of the Nanhu mining area properly, so he was relieved. As for what will happen to the Nanhu mining area in the future, this is not something he can take into account. After all, he has only been in charge of the Nanhu mine for two years.

Captain Qin led the overseers and guards to send Ye Chen out of the mine.

Ye Chen explained everything that should be explained, rode a low-level spirit crane, and flew into the sky, flying towards the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate thousands of miles away.

"It's been two years!"

Ye Chen's expression was calm.

"In the Nanhu mining area, it has been silent for two years. I'm afraid it's almost forgotten by some people!"

Ye Chen sneered faintly.

He didn't regret it for the past two years.

Even if he didn't come to the Nanhu Mining Area and stayed in the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, he would have to pay two years to provide Immortal Mansion and Xiaoqing with a huge amount of vitality to improve their rank. It takes so much energy that it doesn't take months. This is a price he must pay after he has the Immortal Mansion.

Two years was just right, and he promoted Xianfu and Xiaoqing to the peak of the Qi Refining Period.

What's more important than this is that he actually met here, a girl he always thought would only appear in a dream. This dream appeared a long time ago, but he always thought it was just a simple dream of seeking immortals.

I never thought that this dream would become a reality. It's real, it's almost palpable. He and the girl who appeared in the dream have known each other in Nanhu for two years.

To be able to see it was a luxury enough for him.

He didn't think much more.

For the rest, he needs to return to Xianmen to face a more brutal and fierce battle.

Ye Chen was very clear about his status in the Immortal Gate.

One of the nearly one or two hundred thousand third-generation Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, it can even be said that there is not much fame among the vast crowd. It is not a big deal to excel in the small test in a year, and it is not uncommon for such a disciple to be in such a big sect as the Tianxu Immortal Sect.

Only by becoming a second-generation true monk of Xianmen can he have a place in Xianmen.

"In this Xianmen Great Examination, as long as they are late-stage Qi refining cultivators, those with a little strength will go all out to compete for the top 100 rankings in the Xianmen Great Examination. This is the best way to embark on the Long Immortal Path, which determines the future and destiny, and no disciple of the third generation will back down!"

"When he returns to Xianmen, Feng Zhongjie will definitely notice. Although he has been cultivating in the Nanhu mining area for two years and deceived his eyes and ears in the mining area, this may not be able to dispel his hostility. ”

"In this battle, we must move forward! Occupy a position on the list of the Xianmen big exam. ”

Ye Chen's eyes were cold, and he thought in his heart, controlling the spirit crane, breaking through the clouds and mist, and flying towards the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.

This big test will be the most brutal battle he will face after entering the Immortal Gate. However, he was ready to face it

Ye Chen rode the Spirit Crane back to the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.

In the sky of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, occasionally the light of the flying sword passed by, and he was a monk above the foundation building period.

The rest of the three generations of disciples of the Immortal Sect, most of whom have a little bit of financial resources, use all kinds of spirit birds as their substitutes. Therefore, in the sky of Xianmen, you can see many low-level spirit cranes, eagles and other birds.

As for the spirit beasts on the ground, there are even more of them.

Ye Chen's spirit crane quickly blended into it and disappeared among the many spirit birds.

"Whew!"

Ye Chen drove the spirit crane and swooped down and landed on a small peak, in the courtyard where he lived. The patio was very clean, not even weeds.

He was in the mine for just two years, but that doesn't mean he hasn't returned.

In fact, every month or two, he would come back for a day.

The spiritual herbs he planted in the Immortal Mansion were refined in the Immortal Mansion Refining Pavilion, and the spiritual pills refined in the Immortal Mansion Alchemy Pavilion were packed and sealed. Then use the magic ship of the Immortal Gate to consign it to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in Tianwu Xianyuan City, and sell it in Tianwu Xianyuan City.

And collect thousands of spirit stones sent from the Xiancheng Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, if he refined the third-order Yuan Qi Pill in the Immortal Mansion and cultivated quickly, he would not be able to sustain it at all.

As for the ores produced in the Nanhu mining area, most of them need to be handed over to the Tianxu Immortal Gate. Director You, Chief Foreman Wang and others once desperately squeezed the miners, and did everything possible to force the miners to mine, forcing the miners to riot often, but in fact, they couldn't squeeze much oil and water, and they could just get hundreds of more spirit stones from them every month.

Ye Chen didn't expect these hundreds of spirit stones in the mining area to make much of a difference. After he took charge of the mine, he stopped the excessively harsh pressing and greatly eased the conflict in the mine. Otherwise, the mining area would not have been so quiet in the past two years.

His courtyard dwellings were cleaned every one or two months, and they were clean.

Ye Chen returned to the Immortal Gate very calmly and began to prepare for the big exam.

Zhu Haomin, Jiang Zhi, Wei Ming and other nine people soon knew that Ye Chen had returned from the mining area. Many of them came over to visit the door and chat. However, they were busy preparing for the Xianmen exam, and they didn't have much time to spare.

It is close to the Xianmen big exam, and there are only a few days.

Inside the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, it became more and more lively.

Many of the three generations of Immortal Sect cultivators, almost all of them in the late stage of Qi refining were carefully preparing for the big exam. Many monks need to buy many spiritual artifacts in the night market of Xianmen and trade them with others. Every night market, almost all of them are crowded with people.

The monks usually treasure a large number of high-quality and superb goods, and they also take them out and sell them, wanting to take advantage of this triennial examination of the Xianmen Gate to sell them at a good price.

The three-year big test of Xianmen is different from the one-year small test of Xianmen.

The small test is one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand disciples of three generations, and Lingtian is rewarded and punished.

However, the triennial big exam of the Xianmen only has a list of the top 100 monks in the Xianmen, competing for the top 100 monks among the three generations of disciples.

The top 100 disciples of the three generations of Tianxu Immortal Gate are ranked in the top 100, and the rewards include "Zhuji Dan, Tianxu Immortal Gate Exercises, and Dharma Weapons." "And so on and so forth. Among them, Tsukidan is the most desired by the three generations of disciples.

Competing for the top 100 among hundreds of thousands of disciples is naturally very difficult, and it can be imagined.

In fact, disciples below the middle stage of Qi refining are too weak to be qualified to participate in the triennial big exam, and there is no hope at all, it is a pure waste of time. And the seventh- and eighth-layer cultivators in the later stage of Qi cultivation felt that they did not have the slightest hope, and they would also take the initiative to give up.

Only the ninth-level cultivators of the Qi Refining Period will all participate in the competition, competing for the top 100 rankings in the Immortal Gate Great Examination.

In the case that the cultivation is almost the same, the competition is the comprehensive strength of other aspects. For example, the mastery of combat skills, the mastery of spells, the advantages and disadvantages of spiritual equipment, combat experience, spirit beasts, and even spirit wine that restores mana, and so on.

Only the most outstanding three generations of disciples can stand on the top 100 list of the Immortal Gate Great Examination.

In the end, the three generations of monks who were able to make the list, each of them was extremely strong, and almost all of them were famous in the Immortal Sect. He is a well-deserved leader among the three generations of disciples of Xianmen.

Ye Chen was very clear about all of this.

Ye Chen had great confidence in his strength.

However, he did not dare to be arrogant.

He's strong, but he's not weak either. Among the many third-generation disciples of the Immortal Sect, there are many descendants of Elder Jin Dan and Zhuji Monks. A lot of resources are enough for them to have very strong strength.

After Ye Chen returned to the Immortal Gate, he still went to the night market every night to collect them, and as much as possible to select some of the best spiritual weapons used by the late stage of Qi refining cultivators, so as to increase his chances of winning in the upcoming Immortal Gate exam.
