Chapter Twenty-Six: Mining
Although he experienced an ambush, Su Han's next trip did not speed up. Still looking for medicinal herbs, while familiarizing himself with the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he went towards the Pingzhen Mine.
At noon on the fourth day, Su Han crossed a suspension bridge, and in the distance, a mountain peak could already be seen, standing not far away.
"Plain mines. Su Han was delighted in his heart, and gradually approached, and when he arrived in front of the mountain, a simple gate was erected, but no one was guarded in front of the door, Su Han walked in, and walked out of a mile or two before he heard the voice.
At this time, the surroundings were already bare, and there were basically no trees to be seen, and when he turned a mountain pass, Su Han suddenly felt that his eyes were bright, and he saw that he was surrounded by a clear stream, and set up a house like one, which was lined up and orderly. Seeing Su Han appear, the people here were not surprised, and many Qi Refining Stage disciples who were also here to ask for spirit stones also nodded to Su Han, which could be regarded as a greeting. A black-clothed disciple also pointed out a direction to Su Han, Su Han looked over, and saw a small room standing there alone, he immediately understood that it should be a place to register, thanked the black-clothed disciple, and went over there.
At this time, Su Han was slightly stunned.
After he came here, everyone else just looked at Su Han curiously, and they didn't look at it for a while, after all, although the Pingzhen Mine was only a small mine, there were dozens of Qi Refining Stage disciples who came and went every day.
But outside the door of the house not far away, a few people kept staring at him, as if they were looking at Su Han with a kind of looking at the goods.
Su Han frowned slightly and entered the room.
"Su Han, this is your number plate. A middle-aged deacon handed a silver sign to Su Han, who looked curiously at the palm-sized silver sign.
"The role of the license plate is to ensure the safety of the disciples, sometimes the mine will collapse, and there are some ghosts wandering in some places, and so on, if you are in trouble, you will inject true qi into the license plate, and someone will go down to save you. ”
Su Han was stunned, "It's just a mine, and there will be danger?"
The middle-aged deacon smiled, "Cultivating in Diancang Mountain, you have to be leisurely at all times, our Diancang Sect has been grasping the strength of disciples in all aspects since the Qi refining period." We are still a small mine, and in the big mine, there are all powerful demons!"
Su Han couldn't help but be speechless for a while, but he could also appreciate the good intentions of the sect, and the disciples cultivated in this way were definitely not flowers growing in a greenhouse.
"This is a hoe for excavation, I also have a magic hoe here that can't be sold, 100 spirit stones a handle, digging ore is fast, if you want to do this business for a long time, it's best to save money to buy one as soon as possible." ”
Hearing "100 spirit stones", Su Han shook his head hurriedly, took the ordinary hoe, and asked, "Then how to sell this hoe?"
"You don't want money, you want as much as you want. The deacon said, "By the way, my surname is Xie, and the ore and associated spirit stones you get can be handled by me." The rules of the sect, the ore processing is to be divided with the sect three seven, the sect three you seven, and the associated spirit stone, you can use it yourself, or you can exchange it with us for pure spirit stone, but you need to charge a conversion fee of 10%. ”
Steward Xie said, and took out some ore from the corner of the room to show Su Han.
"The most here are gray spar and yellow dolomite, the purity is generally not high, we all collect according to the true value of the ore, and we will never pit the interests of our own disciples. ”
Su Han took these ores and observed them carefully, but Steward Xie shook his head, "It's not enough to just look at it, your eyes won't work in the mine." ”
When Su Han heard this, his heart moved, and his divine thoughts were released, shrouding these ores and feeling these ores.
After thanking the steward, Su Han came out of the room. ...,
"Have you had lunch, come and have some food, and we'll go down later." A medium-sized, fat man was standing by the door to eat, and then he said to Su Hanyang the pig's trotters in his hand.
"Oh, good. Su Han said, walking towards the house where the aroma came out not far away, at this time there were still people coming in and out, Su Han entered, and saw a huge table full of things, more than a dozen tall, short, fat and thin chefs, busy here.
"You can take whatever you want to eat, these mortal things are not worth a penny. The person who had just beckoned Su Han to eat also came over and said to Su Han.
Su Han was also a little hungry at this time, so he casually picked up a leg of mutton and ate it, while curiously looking at the busy chefs in the room.
Seeing Su Han's gaze, the man smiled and said, "Brother's vision is not bad, these are mortals, and they were invited here by the sect to cook for us." Although we are cultivating the truth, the consumption of mining is also large, so we almost can't replenish it. These people come here to work for a year, that is, a lot of silver to bring home, so every spring squeezes their heads to come over. ”
Su Han nodded, and the man said familiarly: "My name is Liu An, I am an outer disciple of Yuanchun for three years, and now I am at the first level of qi refining, what about you, brother?"
Yuan Chun three years, that is, the disciple who started three years ago. Su Han said lightly: "Su Han, this year's new outer disciple. ”
Liu An looked at Su Han, but was stunned, "Brother, aren't you kidding, it's only been a month since the new disciples were recruited this year, I'm not dazzled, you are already a Qi refining cultivator, right?"
Su Han gnawed most of a leg of mutton and threw it away, "Well, good luck, good luck, that's all." ”
Su Han picked up the hoe and walked towards the mine not far away, Liu An immediately followed Su Han and chattered to Su Han about many matters in the mine.
The two of them walked deeper and deeper, and when the light around them dimmed, oil lamps appeared in the mine, and a row of oil lamps stretched over, illuminating the entire mine.
Su Han suddenly interrupted Liu An's words and asked, "By the way, what is the origin of the few people standing in the southeast outside?"
Liu Anzheng was talking excitedly, but suddenly stopped abruptly and said: "That's Ding Gu and his gang, you must not provoke them." ”
Su Han said lightly: "Why?"
"We buy and sell ore from the sect here, and at the end of the day, we have to give Ding Gu another two percent, which is called the security fee. Liu An said with some frustration.
Su Han couldn't help sneering and said, "So so many of you, did you all give it obediently?"
"If you don't give it, there is no way, not to mention that Ding Gu himself is a powerful monk of the third layer of qi refining, he also has a backer, he is the head of Yaoxiang Dao on Minggou Mountain, where are we people who have no roots and no ping, who can afford to offend?"
Su Han nodded, and didn't say more, just now Steward Xie gave Su Han a rough introduction, saying that the monk is mining in this mine, relying on the ground is divine thought, and with divine thought, go deep into the ground, find mineral deposits, and then excavate, I don't know how much faster than mortal mining.
So as he walked, he leaned out of his body with his divine thoughts and went towards the ground, but as soon as his divine thoughts entered the earth and rocks, they began to become obscure and blurred, and the speed of his movement was greatly reduced, and his divine thoughts could spread fifty meters when there was nothing, but here, it was difficult to penetrate an inch when he was only seven or eight meters deep into the ground.
But at this moment, Su Han sighed lightly. Walk to a corner, swing your hoe and start digging.
Liu An said in surprise: "Brother Su, what are you doing? This place is still at the entrance, and all the ores that can be mined have already been dug up." ”
