Chapter 19: Iron Ore Mines
After returning to the thatched hut and sitting for a while, Xiao Ning saw the little boy carrying the box from the distant mountain road, bouncing and jumping as he walked, and seemed to be in a good mood.
After a while, Xiao Tong came to Xiao Ning with a smile on his face, and a young hand handed the wooden box to Xiao Ning's hand, and his buttocks were still twisting.
"What's so happy?" Xiao Ning asked as he took the little boy's wooden box and opened it.
"Hehe, tell Brother Xiao that you have good news and bad news. There are two messages in total. Xiao Tong smiled, compared one to two with his hand, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Oh, what's the good news, and what's the bad news?" Xiao Ning asked with an interested look at Xiao Tong.
"Hmm... Guess?" said the little boy, looking at Xiao Ning with big watery eyes.
"Okay, I guess, I guess, I'll blow your ass, I'll guess. Xiao Ning said that he had already grabbed one of Xiao Tong's legs, startling Xiao Tong, and then Xiao Ning felt that the momentum on Xiao Tong's body had risen significantly, and he did not stop until he reached the middle of the fourth layer of Qi training.
"It turned out to be a breakthrough. Xiao Ning let go of Xiao Tong, glanced at him and said.
"How's that? I'm amazing. I'm not ashamed of you. I finally broke through my overnight cultivation last night. Xiao Tong raised his head proudly as he spoke, looking at Xiao Ning with a small ghost.
Xiao Ning laughed, "What's the bad news?" and then asked.
"The bad news is... I ran out of herbs. Hey. The boy said and touched his head embarrassedly.
"If you run out, you run out, this is bad news, people are big ghosts. Xiao Ning threw out a sentence angrily, and then began to eat.
"Of course this is bad news, my herbs have run out, and I am Brother Xiao's little brother, in this case, Brother Xiao, don't you have to give me some more herbs?" Xiao Tong said and stared at himself with those watery eyes, Xiao Ning suddenly gave him a roll of the eyes, thinking that he had just lost two storage bags, and now this little bit even asked himself for something, where could Xiao Ning have a good temper to give him, but he would not tell Xiao Tong that he had lost two storage items, after all, he was the idol that Xiao Tong worshipped, where could he let go of the burden of his idol and tell him that he was pitted.
"Don't think about herbs, I'm still useful. Xiao Ning said lightly.
"Brother Xiao..."Xiao Tong launched an offensive, grabbed Xiao Ning's arm and shook it, but was pushed away by Xiao Ning.
"Not negotiable. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ning really had no room for negotiation, Xiao Tong smiled and stopped joking.
"Brother Xiao, do you have your identity token? ”
"Who is your brother Xiao, how can an identity token be difficult for me?" Xiao Ning said as he took out a wooden token from the storage bag, and then threw it to Xiao Tong.
After receiving Xiao Ning's identity token, Xiao Tong was very surprised.
"Brother Xiao, how did you get this identity token? It's actually the token of a disciple of the Outer Sect. The little boy was surprised and put the token in his hand and looked at it with a look of disbelief.
"What's so difficult about this, I'll ask the test Chen Hu directly... Senior Brother Chen asked for a piece. Xiao Ning almost said that Chen Daoguan was Chen Fox, but as soon as he said it, he felt inappropriate, so he changed his words.
"That's it?" Xiao Tong's eyes widened, completely shocked by Xiao Ning's words, he thought that it would be good if Xiao Ning could get a miscellaneous servant's identity token, but now he actually got a token from an outer sect, how could he not be surprised.
"That's it, otherwise what, don't you look at who your brother Xiao is, how can a small token be difficult for me?" Xiao Ning said with a proud face, but in his heart he was still depressed about the two storage bags he had lost.
"Two, two storage, Xiao Bu has already broken through to the fourth layer of Qi cultivation with so many herbs, if I have not lost those two storage bags, then wouldn't I have to break through to the fourth layer of Qi training?" Xiao Ning thought to himself, the more he thought about it, the more heartache he felt, and at this moment, his heart was already a little looking forward to the day when Chang Wude and their poisonous hair would come again.
"You must take a good pit yourself!" Xiao Ning thought like this, and there was a terrible and cruel glint in his eyes, which suddenly made the little boy who was looking at him scared when he saw it, but soon Xiao Ning returned to his calm and breezy appearance, as if what he was struggling with in his heart had never happened.
After eating and chatting with the little boy a few words, the little boy left with the wooden box.
"The daily task of the third peak disciple. Xiao Ning opened the booklet and found that it clearly stated what the third peak had to do every day, as well as some rules, places that could not be trespassed into at will, etc.
"It turns out that the black iron mine that the old fox said is a black iron mine in the back mountain. Xiao Ning read the introduction in the brochure and finally knew what kind of place Chen Daoguan said about the black iron mine.
The black iron mine is a mine owned by the third peak, and it is said that it has been mined for 15 years, and although the black iron ore in it has been mined for 15 years, it is still abundant.
"It was mined fifteen years ago, how big is this mine, and it hasn't been mined for so long?" Xiao Ning was suddenly very interested in this black iron mine, and then according to what the brochure said, he went to the miscellaneous room to get a back basket and a shovel, and walked towards the location of the black iron mine on the mountain road.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Xiao Ning came to a place like a canyon.
The canyon is not long, and when Xiao Ning turns the corner at the end of the canyon, the black iron ore mentioned in the brochure is also undoubtedly revealed in front of him.
"Oh, don't say fifteen years in this mine, I'm afraid it will be difficult to finish it in a hundred years. Xiao Ning looked at the height of the mine in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help but swallow it, it was really that he had never seen a mine with an entire mountain full of mines, and it was so high that he couldn't see the end, so it was no wonder that he was surprised.
Xiao Ning watched the black iron mine walk forward intently, and he didn't care about the occasional potholes under his feet, and when he came to the foot of the mountain, he felt the magnificence of the black iron mine more clearly.
"No wonder the Sanssouci Sect can raise so many disciples, just this black iron ore is enough for the Sanssouci Sect to develop for a hundred years. At this moment, Xiao Ning understood that the Sanssouci Sect was really a worry-free place.
"If this black iron ore is mine, I'm afraid that the richest man in the village will not be Chen Fatzi's family. Xiao Ning smiled and muttered, and then followed the disciples of the Sanssouci Sect to start mining with shovels.
"Hey, aren't you the person you were yesterday? You really entered the sect?" Xiao Ning was digging hard, but a person came next to him and spoke.
"Senior brother. Xiao Ning turned his head to see that this person was the unattractive young man who was pulled by himself for questioning yesterday.
"What senior brother is not senior brother, you and I are the same age, my name is Chao Anshun, you just call me Anshun. ”
Listening to Chao Anshun's words, Xiao Ning smiled, but still called him Senior Brother Chao.
"You are too outward, you will be the same brother in the future, just come to me if you have something. Chao Anshun patted his chest and said with a smile.
"Then Xiao Ning thanked Senior Brother Chao first. Xiao Ning barely squeezed out a smile, but when he thought about it, Chao Anshun not only walked behind the team yesterday, but now he was also squeezed into the most remote and difficult place to get minerals with himself, and his sworn appearance did not convince Xiao Ning much.
Xiao Ning was mining in the black iron mine, and one digging was a day, but the harvest was not much, only digging a basket of ore.
"A basket of inferior black iron ore is stored in warehouse No. 5, and the contribution is not recorded. ”
"A basket of ore is not even considered to have completed the task, there are no contribution points, and there is no food?" Xiao Ning carried the mined black iron ore to the warehouse where it was stored after mining, and only then did he know from the disciples of the Sanssouci Sect who kept the accounts that he was completely blind when he mined like this.
"I also want to earn some contribution points by mining and exchange for a few weapons, so it seems that I will have to have contribution points in what year and month. Xiao Ning wiped the sweat on his face, and muttered secretly on the mountain road back, when he returned to the thatched hut, it was already evening, and at this time, the little boy also carried a wooden box to deliver food to him, and the little boy came to deliver the food and found that Xiao Ning was tired and asleep.
"Brother Xiao. The little boy hid by the door, grabbed the door frame and stuck his head out to shout to Xiao Ning when Xiao Ning was not paying attention.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Ning opened his eyes with difficulty, and then said weakly.
"You're here. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ning looked tired and covered in darkness, the little boy blinked his eyes and came to Xiao Ning's side in a few steps.
"Brother Xiao, are you going to mine?" asked the little boy squatting next to Xiao Ning's head.
"Can your brother Xiao do such a lowly thing as mining?" Xiao Ning replied with a disdainful face after listening to Xiao Tong's words.
"Oh, I saw you were pitch black, and I thought you were mining. The boy pouted and laid out the food.
