Although Hegufang is only a fang market, but after many years of operation, the scale of this place is basically equal to a small town, and the monks walking on the street are basically monks, gathering together in twos and threes, discussing what monsters have been caught today, what herbs have been collected, and on both sides of the street, the shops are magnificent, and from time to time there are monks who are satisfied to walk out of the shop, so that Chen Zhi has a little more expectations for this fang market.

According to the elder's explanation, Chen Zhi quickly found the location of the rudder, but this rudder building is not as gloomy as the sect, but it is magnificent and noble, and it is completely a fairy scene.

If it weren't for the coercion of the contemplation period monk on his body, Chen Zhi would even think that he was an ordinary businessman.

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Zhi did a full job of saving face, and after saluting respectfully, he and Zhang Yong turned over the politeness, then took out the wooden card given by the elder, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Yong together with a spirit stone.

Zhang Yong quietly took the spirit stone and the wooden card, and his smile suddenly became a little more cordial: "Since it was introduced by the senior brother, you can choose a job by yourself." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and one of his subordinates immediately walked out, and soon walked out with a bundle of cyan bamboo slips.

In fact, Chen Zhi's task this time is very simple, that is, to be stationed in Hegufang, at least to stay here for a year, as for the specific work, it is arranged by the helmsman of Hegufang, since Zhang Yong is so accommodating, he carefully selected.

The work of Hegufang is extremely complicated, such as watching the field, patrolling and the like, but Chen Zhi is not very satisfied, after all, although these tasks are simple, they are extremely time-consuming, greatly reducing the time for cultivation, which Chen Zhi does not want to see.

After choosing for a long time, when he saw a task, Chen Zhi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Guarding the spirit stone mine for half a year, during which time you are not allowed to leave the mine, and you must hand over one hundred lower grade spirit stones every month. ”

After reading the bamboo slips, Chen Zhi was extremely satisfied, pointed to the bamboo slips and said: "I am more satisfied with this work, and I am tired of Senior Zhang to introduce it." ”

Zhang Yong took the bamboo slip, took a closer look, couldn't help frowning slightly, and hesitated: "Brother Chen Xian really wants to choose this job?"

Seeing Chen Zhi nodding, Zhang Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly: " The virtuous brother is willing to endure hardships, and he admires it very much for his brother, but the virtuous brother is introduced by the elders, and there are some things that the brother still has to say, such as this mine task, although it is close to the spiritual stone vein, the aura is sufficient, and the cultivation is ten times better than the outside, but this mine is after years of excavation, it has become extremely deep, if you stay in this black and autumn mine for half a year, it is definitely not possible for ordinary people to do it, and you also have to manage the cultivation of slaves, these cultivation slaves are not easy people, all of them are secular people who have practiced martial arts, and I hope that the virtuous brother will think twice. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zhi groaned slightly, but still gritted his teeth and said: "I will choose this job, and I hope that my predecessors will be successful." ”

Zhang Yong naturally heard Chen Zhi's insistence, although he didn't know why, but few people were willing to take this job, and this vein was close to exhaustion, which was a pity to lose the tasteless food, since Chen Zhi was willing to suffer, he naturally would not refuse, and immediately agreed to Chen Zhi's request.

After taking over the work, Chen Zhi talked to Zhang Yong again, and when the other party showed the intention of sending off the guests, he said goodbye and left with a witty taste, carrying a jade slip that recorded the location and details of the mine, and walked in the direction of the mine.

After carefully watching the content of the jade slip, Chen Zhi's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, it seems that this small mine is not as simple as he imagined, this ore vein was discovered fifty years ago, after more than forty years of mining, the already small ore vein has gradually dried up, and it is also the last ten years, it is even more troublesome, there have been people who have come here to do tasks have an idea with Chen Zhi, wanting to use the spiritual energy around the ore vein to cultivate, but often less than a month, they are forced to leave.

On the one hand, the mine is very deep, and the bottom is even more silent, plus the location of the mine is far away from the market, and there are some places full of monsters around, and only the mine with a defensive circle is safe, and it has been hidden underground for a long time, and some people who are not firm in their minds cannot hold on to it at all.

The second is that ordinary people can't mine spirit stones at all, so the recruits are generally Qi refining monks or mortals who have practiced martial arts, these people are often extremely difficult to manage, in the past ten years when Zhang Yong served as the helmsman, there have been several fights in the mine, and even several monks who managed the mine died, which gave Zhang Yong a headache.

For more than a year, the mine was even unmanaged, until Chen Zhi arrived.

The mine is located on the cliff near the Qianzhong Mountain Range, located to the west of the River Valley Fang, about half a day's walk, relying on the map along the way, Chen Zhi easily avoided some areas infested by demon beasts, and soon came to the entrance of the mine.

The entrance of the cave was very small, only allowing two or three people to pass through, and there was a layer of lilac light at the entrance of the cave.

"Who is it?"

A loud shout sounded violently, and then there was a "bang", and a large number of people suddenly gathered in front of Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, the place he was in now was an artificially dug hall, the size of an attic, and every twenty or thirty steps on the wall was inlaid with a dimly lit night pearl, which filled the originally dark mine cave with a soft light.

At this time, in the hall, there were some ragged nuns gathered in twos and threes, although these nuns were a little pale because they had been in the ground for a long time, but if they looked closely, the temples of these people were bulging, and after approaching, there was a fierce aura rushing to their faces.

When they saw Chen Zhi's clothes, the people in the cave hall suddenly messed up, and looked at Chen Zhi vigilantly one by one, with an extremely unfriendly attitude.

Chen Zhi didn't care, he came here to cultivate, not to squeeze these cultivators, he immediately smiled faintly and said, "Is there someone in charge?"

Below the cultivators, you look at me, I look at you, and finally, a burly old man came out of the crowd, bowed and saluted: "The old man is the leader of the cultivators, this immortal master ......"

"I'm the newly appointed miner. Chen Zhi said bluntly, and his words immediately made all the cultivators in an uproar, and almost everyone looked at him with hostility.

Chen Zhi swept his eyes and smiled coldly, although he didn't want to trouble these cultivators, if someone jumped out, he didn't mind using these people to familiarize himself with the spells he cultivated.

"It turned out to be the Overseer. The old man suddenly showed a wry smile on his face, after the last trouble, he thought that Zhang Yong had forgotten this place, but he didn't expect to send an overseer, he just hoped that he wouldn't be as difficult as those immortal masters before.

Thinking of this, the old man bowed down and said, "I don't know what the overseer commands?"

Chen Zhi smiled faintly, suddenly stepped forward and held the old man's hand, this time, it scared the old man, and the cultivators behind him were even more shocked, and many people even approached this side.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhi knew in his heart, it seemed that this old man's prestige among the cultivators was extremely high, and after helping the old man, he didn't look at the cultivators who were ready to rush up at any time, and raised his feet and walked towards the mine. The old man was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the cultivator behind him, and quickly followed Chen Zhi.

"What's your name?"

"Hui Immortal Master, the villain's surname is Mu. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Elder Mu, you can introduce me to the situation of this mine, and pick up the key points." ”

The old man surnamed Mu said with an honest look: "There are a total of fifty-eight cultivators and old men in the mine, usually we live not far from the entrance of the mine, and when we work, we will go deep into the mine, and the deepest depth of the entire mine can reach one mile, but recently the ore veins are close to depletion, and the spirit stones are becoming more and more difficult to excavate, and there are more and more associated ores, so we are fifty-eight together, and we can only dig about eighty spirit stones at most a month." ”

"Only eighty spirit stones?"

"Yes, Immortal Master. The old man surnamed Mu remained silent, but still insisted on it.

Chen Zhi's smile suddenly disappeared, he turned his head with a cold face, and an invisible coercion suddenly emanated, and he said coldly: "Are you playing me?"

Mu Lao and the cultivators behind him suddenly changed their faces, and they looked at Chen Zhi vigilantly one by one.

Chen Zhi's gaze swept over all the cultivators, and with the majestic momentum, no one dared to look directly at him for a while.

Suddenly, he smiled faintly: "Actually, I also understand that it is not easy for you. ”

This sentence, combined with Chen Zhi's gentle smile, the tense atmosphere around him suddenly disappeared.

Chen Zhi jumped on a rock, looked down at the miners below, stretched out a finger, and said indifferently: "I don't like to play false, a month, a hundred spirit stones." ”

Without giving Mu Lao and the others a chance to speak, he said: "The associated ores of this spirit stone vein are mostly materials for refining magic weapons, these ores, as long as they are dug up, they will belong to you, and at the same time, I will send people to Fang Market to buy food, clothing and quilts, improve your life, and will not let you go hungry to mine." ”

These words immediately made many cultivators look surprised, but they still didn't respond, obviously not believing Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi looked at the expressions of these people in his eyes and smiled faintly: "I came here just to cultivate, so I usually manage, as well as things about buying food and clothes, I will leave all the things to Mu Lao to do, of course, the spirit stones dug must be handed over to me." ”

"Really?" said a cultivator with a look of surprise on his face.

"Of course. Chen Zhi affirmed, looked at the old man surnamed Mu again, and asked lightly, "Old Mu, are you willing?" ”

The old man surnamed Mu had a cloudy face, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as what the Immortal Master said is true, we will definitely complete the task." ”

Chen Zhi smiled, he had thought carefully about his words before he came, it can be said that he was both encouraged and powerful, and the radish sticks were readily available, looking at the cultivators who looked excited, he was also extremely satisfied, and added a sentence with a little deep meaning.

"This vein is about to dry up, the sooner it is dug up, the sooner you can get out of this dark mine, after all, it is not good to stay underground all year round. ”

After speaking, he called the old man surnamed Mu to give careful instructions, and then walked towards the depths of the mine.

Chen Zhi's departure completely dispelled the last trace of Xiunu's concerns, and they celebrated each other with surprise on their faces, and at the same time, their good feelings for Chen Zhi also increased.

Looking at the surrounding cultivators, the old man surnamed Mu sighed softly, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "This immortal master, it's not simple......"
