Seeing the wind, Captain Qin made the rudder and quickly surrendered to Ye Chen. The overseers and guards did not dare to make a mistake. The entire Nanhu mining area changed momentum in one day, clearing the way for Ye Chen to take office as the head of the mining area, and no one below dared to play small tricks.

As the head of the Nanhu Mining Area, Ye Chen actually has only one task, that is, to ensure the production of dark iron ore.

Tianxu Xianmen requires the Nanhu mining area to hand over a certain amount of dark iron ore every month. He, the head of the Nanhu Mining Area, as long as he completes the amount handed over by mining, he will be considered to have completed the task. Xianmen will not meddle in the affairs of the mining area at will.

Ye Chen first subdued the hearts of the mine slaves, and then severely rectified the overseers. The two chiefs were abolished, the captain of Qin was subdued, and more than 150 overseers and guards in the mining area were shocked.

The two diametrically hostile forces in the mining area were largely under his control.

In order to be able to dig up more dark iron ore.

Ye Chen gave the miners a discount. Regular Dark Iron Ore can be exchanged for more Grain. When you dig up high-grade black iron ore, you can exchange a small amount of healing wounds, and even medicinal materials for cultivation, increasing the enthusiasm of the miners to hand in high-grade black iron ore. Send overseers and guards to clear the monsters in the mine and dig new tunnels to facilitate mining by the miners.

To deal with these treacherous overseers in the mining area, it only takes a few very simple means, and even without much effort, to clean up and obey.

Every guard and overseer in the mining area can still get a share of the benefits, but the small account book is directly in charge of Ye Chen. In just a few days, the combination of grace and power has made the operation of this Nanhu mining area leaky.

Ye Chen's real mind was not placed on the mining area. The opponent here is so weak that he hardly has to make a personal move.

His real enemy now is Feng Zhongjie of the Immortal Gate Miscellaneous Service Palace, the second generation true disciple of the Tianxu Immortal Sect, and he is also the descendant of a Jindan elder of the Immortal Sect.

Ordinary small means have no effect at all against this great enemy.

Such a strong enemy. Only by relying on one's own cultivation as the foundation can one contend with it.

"We must become stronger! Only by cultivating to break through the foundation building period can we contend with Feng Zhongjie. ”

Ye Chen walked on the shore of Nanhu Lake, thinking secretly in his heart.

After dealing with the chores in the mining area, he now began to cultivate wholeheartedly in the Nanhu mining area.

Outside the camp in the mining area, there is the South Lake. Nanhu Lake is a green lake for dozens of miles, and there are many low-level spiritual lotus flowers growing in the lake, which is full of a faint aura. This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, and it seems extraordinarily clean. For monks, if they are not entangled in ordinary affairs, this place is quite suitable for cultivation

Just as Ye Chen was renovating the Nanhu mining area, this year's small test of Tianxu Xianmen was officially over.

The main peak, the majestic Tianxu Palace.

Feng Zhongjie said hello to the guards on duty outside the hall, entered the Tianxu Palace, and handed over the thick stack of assessment results of this year's Xianmen small examination to several Jindan elders in the Tianxu Hall who were dealing with the affairs of the Xianmen.

Every year, after the small examination of the three generations of disciples of the Xianmen, Elder Jin Dan personally reads the dossier, so as not to miss any outstanding disciples.

The better the score of the student, the more the transcript is placed at the top.

And this year's top priority is Ye Chen's small test score card.

Several Jindan elders read it, and after passing it, they showed a look of surprise.

"In this small test, there was actually a very good third-generation disciple. ”

"One year of Qi refining period cultivation to be promoted to the third level, and four consecutive victories in the small exam! Such an outstanding third-generation disciple is rare to see in our Heavenly Void Immortal Sect for a few years! ”

"You can focus on training!"

A Jin Dan elder was surprised, "Nephew Feng Xian, what kind of position does this disciple have in the Immortal Sect now? If not, transfer him to the old man's side and make a move." The old man is alchemy on weekdays, and he is lacking a medicine boy to call, so he can cultivate and cultivate. ”

Feng Zhongjie's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "The little nephew also thinks that this disciple is very good. I saw that he was a cult material, and I had already arranged for him to be the chief manager of the Nanhu mining area, and he had already taken up his post a few days ago. The chief manager of the mining area is definitely a real power, and he can be regarded as a heavy responsibility! If the elder wants to accept him as a medicine boy, he might as well wait for a year or two later, and let him come back before it is too late. ”

"Well, that's right, let him go through the experience in the mining area, and then see how it goes. ”

Elder Jin Dan was a little sorry when he heard this.

Several Jin Dan elders nodded, Feng Zhongjie's arrangement was not bad.

The elders looked at the small exams behind them again. I was promoted to the second level in a year, and there were dozens of people who won two or three consecutive victories in the small exam, and this assessment result was good. But after reading Ye Chen's evaluation before, they were not interested in the evaluation later.

Feng Zhongjie said goodbye to the elders and walked out of the True Martial Palace, and his face full of smiles suddenly became gloomy.

The Xianmen Elementary School Examination Director Examination is a very special position. Originally, it was to select talents for Xianmen, but later it gradually became a way for various factions of Xianmen to select talents.

Every year, a different second-generation true disciple is appointed to recruit talents for himself.

He finally relied on his father's power to strive to become the director of this year's Xianmen small examination, and found a total of twenty or thirty very good Xianmen third-generation disciples.

These three generations of disciples of the Immortal Sect, except for a few who were the descendants of other elders and true disciples who could not be co-opted, almost all of them were taken by him for his own use and became his subordinates.

Only Ye Chen, a third-generation disciple, has no power or power in the Immortal Sect, and he still refuses to become his subordinate.

This annoyed him.

It's just that Ye Chen's results in this small test are too dazzling, and he can't hide it at all. Many third-generation disciples of the Immortal Sect have witnessed the assessment with their own eyes, and even many second-generation true disciples also know about it.

He didn't dare to falsify his report card, lest he fall into the hands of others.

The depression in Feng Zhongjie's heart can be imagined.

Just now, a Jindan elder proposed to let Ye Chen become a medicine boy, but fortunately, he had already sent Ye Chen to the Nanhu mining area.

The elder wanted to accept the medicine boy, but he was just interested in talking about it. As long as Ye Chen's cultivation stagnates, in a few years, he will be completely forgotten by the elders, who would remember that there was such a disciple in the Xianmen Xiaokou!

Tianxu Immortal Sect has never lacked outstanding three generations of disciples. No matter how outstanding the third-generation disciple is, if he can't become a second-generation true disciple, sooner or later he will be out of the crowd.

"Send this kid to an extremely complicated mining area, the mining slaves in the mining area are unruly, as well as the prison head and guards, which is enough to bring a lot of trouble to this kid, so that he has no time to cultivate. Staying in the mine for a decade or two will kill his anger and make him mediocre. If you can collect evidence of bribery that is not good for that kid, you can easily clean him up in the future!"

Feng Zhongjie had a sneer on his face.

Two years later, in the Xianmen Great Examination, only the first 100 people could capture Tsukidan. This is the moment that really determines the future of the three generations of disciples of Xianmen.

As long as he made arrangements, he asked the supervisors in the Nanhu Mining Area to find a bunch of trouble for Ye Chen and delay his cultivation, and the assessment after two years would definitely fall behind a hundred. No matter how good your performance is in the small exam this year, as long as you can't win Tsukidan in the big exam, it will be in vain.

Feng Zhongjie thought about this, and Edgeworth left the Heavenly Void Main Peak and came to the Miscellaneous Servant Palace.

Soon, an officer of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall hurriedly reported to him that there was bad news from the Nanhu Mining Area, a few days ago, a director and a chief foreman of the mining area died because they entered the mine to clear the demon beasts and encountered a third-order demon spider. Ye Chen, the general manager of the mining area, arrived late and officially took office yesterday.

"Dead, send another prison leader and a foreman over to monitor Ye Chen's movements and collect evidence of corruption against him. If it's the worst of all, I have to find some trouble for him, and I can't let him continue to cultivate in the mining area in peace!"

Feng Zhongjie frowned and ordered.

The next day, the Miscellaneous Servants sent a supervisor and foreman to the mine to take up his duties. Both of them were mid-stage Qi refining cultivators, and they were Feng Zhongjie's subordinates.

These two people are also loyal to Feng Zhongjie, and as soon as they arrived at the Nanhu mining area, they began to recruit the supervisors and guards, preparing to fight with Ye Chen, the chief manager.

However, the more than 100 overseers and guards in the Nanhu mining area looked at them like dead people.

The Nanhu mining area has long been different from what it used to be, and now it is the chief manager who controls the situation, from the thousands of mine slaves in the mine to the more than 100 overseers and guards in the mining camp, almost all of them are controlled by the general manager. The crucial small ledger of the mining area was kept in Ye Chen's hands.

Two heads, too big a boss who can fight?

Ye Chen didn't bother to pay attention to them, and hinted that he would let Captain Qin go and fight with the two of them.

Captain Qin understood and led the supervisors and guards in the mining area to fight openly and secretly with the two newly appointed directors and chief foremen, and directly put these two people in the air. The accounts of the mining area did not go through the hands of the two of them, and the two of them were used as decorations.

As for Ye Chen himself, he just walked around the mining area on weekdays, and then cultivated in Nanhu.

The two newly appointed directors and chief foremen are in the mine. Before they could make trouble for Ye Chen, they were already in a difficult situation in the mining area, and they had nothing else to do except weigh the ore. The oil and water in the mining area, without their share, they are excluded.

However, they still need to report to Feng Zhongjie every month on the situation in the Nanhu mining area and Ye Chen.

Of course, they didn't dare to say that they were useless, and after coming to the mine, they didn't accomplish anything, but were hollowed out. They can only report that everything is going well. And the general manager of the mining area, under their "full interference", has stagnated.

What made them ecstatic was that Ye Chen's cultivation did not move at all, and it really stagnated after arriving at the mining area. It doesn't matter what the reason is. The important thing is that this is all their "credit", and they have completed the task assigned to them by Feng Zhongjie.

For months on end, they kept reporting like this.

Even Feng Zhongjie, who was in Xianmen, had heard too much of this kind of report, and gradually didn't take Ye Chen seriously, plus he was busy fighting openly and secretly in Xianmen, fighting for power with other second-generation true disciples, and forgetting a potential opponent in the Nanhu mining area.

The Nanhu mining area gradually fell silent.
