The boulder shuttling through the clouds is like a "big balloon", which gradually turns into clouds of smoke and dissipates in the sky clouds during the rapid fall. The last force sent everyone safely to the isolated island by the sea.

The whereabouts of the four Long Ling who fought against the Guwu Stone Demon Monkey are unknown, and Chen Tianhong and the other nine are safe and sound, with no changes in their bodies, Taoism, and appearance.

Facing the unfamiliar world, wandering about the life and death scenes experienced, each with his own thoughts and moods.

At this moment, as long as you are sure that you are still alive, everything else naturally does not matter. This is human nature.

Chen Tianhong simply lay on the rocks and stared at the sea: the sun rises in the east, and it is scorching. Thousands of miles in the sky, the stars and the waning moon seem to be expelled. The sea is vast, the sea is surging, and the blue sea is like fire.

The beautiful scenery of sunrise, the magnificent waves of the sea and the sky, is really a wonderland that can not be found.

Presumably, others were also fascinated by the beauty, all of them remained silent, standing still, staring into the distance.

Until the morning glow faded, the wind and waves surged, and they didn't hear the waves, but they had seen the terrifying waves, and everyone couldn't help but move at the same time, and the movements were consistent and coordinated.

Chen Tianhong said indifferently: "This should still be the Faun God Continent, but it is definitely not the Eighth Ring, and it may not even be the Seventh Ring." What are you going to do next?"

"What about you?" Fan Xiaozhang was straightforward, knowing that Chen Tianhong, a mysterious person, was indeed extraordinary, but after he spoke without thinking, he didn't know what to say in the next sentence.

"Take refuge in sects or other powerful forces!"

Chen Tianhong said his thoughts seriously. In this life, the hardships he has endured and the sins he has suffered are almost proportional to the blessings he has enjoyed. The accumulation and comprehension of life are indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Therefore, he understood even more that in order to be mixed in the cultivation realm, to become a truly powerful casual cultivator, dominate one side, and stand on his own, in addition to having both heavenly dao chances and personal superior strength, a strong network, whether bright or dark, is still an indispensable part.

If the Tao had not been abolished, he might have kept the idea of setting up his own door. Once the opportunity arises, try it, and it is not known. But now he does not have this condition at all, and whether he can survive with his intelligence has to draw a big question mark.

What's more, after experiencing the mysterious experience of the "Ancient Martial God Tomb", he needs an extremely quiet space to explore more secrets of his body, as well as find a way to recover his path as quickly as possible.

Everything, he is not allowed to be presumptuous and arrogant, and always warns him to be low-key.

Zhen Shuzeng said: "The spiritual power here is so abundant, could it be the fifth ring of the Faun God Continent - 'Ethereal Immortal Domain'?"

Yan Wuqing nodded and said, "I have this idea too. ”

The two of them were from a sectarian family on the Eighth Ring Continent, so they naturally knew more about the Faun God Continent. The two coincide, and the big low is almost the same.

"Legend has it that the Fifth Ring 'Ethereal Immortal Domain' is the domain with the most abundant and even highly excess spiritual power in the Nine Rings Domain. Some caves and blessed lands are shrouded in spiritual rain all year round, endlessly. "Yan Wuqing Dao," legend has it that the Nine Great Chambers of Commerce entrenched in the Ethereal Immortal Domain, with the help of mysterious magic arrays and secret magic weapons, can directly absorb the extremely abundant spiritual power of heaven and earth and condense it into a 'spirit crystal'. It is then supplied to the fourth, third, and second rings, as well as the 'Faun's Domain'. ”

Yan Wuqing used two "legends" to describe the fifth ring, and clearly pointed out that only the fifth ring and the innermost ring have special names, namely "Ethereal Immortal Domain" and "Faun God Domain", and the fifth ring is extraordinary, which can be seen.

"The nine chambers of commerce in the fairy realm don't need legends. The nine chambers of commerce are 'Phantom God', 'Guiru', 'Yutian', 'Demon Shadow', 'Diandao', 'Xianyuan', 'Shifang', 'Three Inches', and 'Ninth'. They all have their own strengths, and their internal strength is almost the same. Qi Xuelu's complexion recovered well, thinking that his injuries had improved greatly, and said, "I decided to go to the 'Dian Dao Chamber of Commerce'. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a date later. ”

"Hmm~" Yan Shuzeng said with a smile, "Senior Sister Qi, why don't we go together?"

Qi Xuelu walked down the island alone, and Yin Shuzeng leaned on his shoulders and heeled to the side. One did not refuse, the other was determined to go along, and everything seemed natural and harmonious.

Qi Xuelu walked out more than thirty steps, his pace slowed down, but he didn't look back, and said, "That divine weapon of yours will be very eye-catching, you must be careful." ”

Fan Xiaozhang looked left and right, and the afterglow of a pair of eyes never left the distant shadow.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Tianhong stood up and said, "We need to spread out as much as possible. Avoid one accident and all of them are finished. ”

In fact, he still thinks about his own safety. Others naturally understand this.

"If it is really the Fifth Ring Ethereal Immortal Domain, then the main altar of the Nine Great Chambers of Commerce should be in the Ethereal Immortal City. The so-called Ethereal Immortal City is surrounded by the main altar buildings of the nine major chambers of commerce, and the distance between the adjacent ones is 14,400 miles. It is absolutely impossible to enter the main altar directly. If you look at the outermost shops, the opportunities are not much different from the dangers. Yan Wuqing said, "Brother Tianhong, I want to follow you." ”

Hearing this, Chen Tianhong's mind couldn't help but float Ben Zhuo's face, and he couldn't help but gloomy, and said, "Some of the stories that happened to me, I don't want to mention them again." I just want to say that most of the people who follow me don't end well. But I am willing to share the weal and woe with those who walk side by side with me, and go through the ups and downs together. ”

Needless to say, the black one.

The farmland is wooden, rough, and extraordinary, but his mind is probably not so sharp and delicate.

Cai Yixiao, Yu Jinlin, and Fan Xiaozhang have seen some of Chen Tianhong's methods, and naturally know that following such a person is far more insurable than being bored and blind.

Therefore, the five of them did not express their position, that is, they made a statement.

Chen Tianhong glanced at the tattered clothes up and down, and said with a light smile: "You have to get some money first, and you have to change your outfit." ”

Qi Xuelu and Yin Shuzeng went east.

After the seven people went down to the island, they headed west, eating and sleeping in the open. Hunting while traveling, collecting spiritual materials, and adapting to the spiritual climate in the ethereal fairy realm.

After seven days, Fang went to a town, exchanged spiritual materials, replaced the clothes, and lived in the store, whether bright or dark, inquired in detail about the location, as well as the situation in the Ethereal Immortal Domain, and learned:

The town is called Binhai Town, located in the southeast of the fairy land, and one hundred and sixty miles to the north is Half Moon City. This city is a lonely city in the outermost part of the southeast, radiating the geographical range of 3,000 small towns, and is divided equally by the three major chambers of commerce of Sancun, Phantom God, and Demon Shadow.

It's amazing, the spiritual power in the Ethereal Immortal Realm is too strong and weird, and it has a very strong backlash power. As a result, not only could the mortal body not be able to directly condense and absorb and refine, but also could not nourish and form a naturally growing spirit stone.

The spirit stone, known as the "spirit crystal", is the only "currency" circulating in the ethereal immortal realm, but it needs to be refined with the help of a mysterious magic circle or magic weapon to guide and condense the spiritual power into a blank stone with a special texture.

The mortal human race can only dissolve or suppress the backlash of the spiritual power of heaven and earth by obtaining the cultivation techniques or magic weapons sold by the nine major chambers of commerce and using the power of the "spirit crystal". Otherwise, under the erosion of spiritual power, people will slowly wither and die like trees and flowers.

All the resources in the Ethereal Immortal Domain, such as the blank stones with special textures, were under the control of the Nine Great Chambers of Commerce, and they did not leak.

If you want to join the nine chambers of commerce, you need to have a clear background, and you need to go through three tests, and then be screened by the large and small treasurers of each rudder. The specific test matters are not inquired about.

After careful planning, the seven of them first got a convincing enough local identity, and then after some preparation of the number of spirit crystals, it was already a month later. In the early morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the seven of them cautiously left Marina Town and set out on the road to Half Moon City.

This is the first time that Chen Tianhong feels that he has no bottom in his heart. He secretly compared the matter of apprenticeship to the Holy Martial Arts of the Divine Temple with the matter of going to Half Moon City this time, and he was even more convinced of this. Because the former is completely accidental, and the latter is to go on their own initiative.

Coincidentally, on the way, seven people overheard that the person in charge of the "farewell to the old and welcome the new" of the Three-inch Chamber of Commerce in Half Moon City was a person named Chun Xiaobai. This person is the only son of a great elder, who is good for nothing and has a very bad reputation, but only has one specialty - "greedy for money". Relying on that high-ranking father, he can always find a job with a lot of oil and water, and he makes a lot of money.

At the end of each year, the nine chambers of commerce hold the "farewell to the old and welcome the new", as the name suggests, to dismiss people who have no growth or poor performance, and select new personnel to make up for it, so as to achieve the purpose of survival of the fittest and metabolism.

The so-called test, which is not fixed, is determined randomly by the person in charge of the affairs according to local conditions.

Therefore, when you meet a money-hungry examiner, anyone with a little brain knows what to test and what is the point.

All along, Chun Xiaobai has been able to go to a better place and act unscrupulously.

This time, some people from the Three-Inch Chamber of Commerce really couldn't get used to it, and sent him to Half Moon City, where there was not so much oil and water, through means.

Hearing this news, Chen Tianhong, who had been in the whirlpool of struggle for a long time, had already sniffed that this would be the only chance for the seven. Therefore, before entering the city, he explained his plans and ideas, and after conspiring with everyone, he didn't care about being familiar with the situation in Half Moon City for the time being, but went straight to the Sancun Chamber of Commerce.

Entering from the south of the city, they rushed to the southwest corner. The people I met on the road were all depressed and sighed. Chen Tianhong and the others had no time to take care of it, and traveled sixty miles quickly, and finally saw a long procession at three o'clock in the middle of the hour. He followed the end of the line without hesitation.

Usually, halfway through the application period, the one-day assessment and selection will end by itself.

When Chen Tianhong was calculating the time, he saw a figure appear at the front of the team, walking slowly in the direction of the team.

The figure was fat, twice as wide as an ordinary person's body, but not strong and burly. He looked up at the sky as he walked, as if he was bored. He walked slowly past one person after another, and no one dared to look up at him.

Come to think of it, these ordinary people between the ages of eighteen and thirty-six have already smashed pots and sold iron and poured everything they have in order to try their luck. Then someone will take the initiative to touch the mold and feel uncomfortable.

In fact, the activity of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new year has come to an end. Those who have the ability have already found a future. The people who are queuing up now are really not the last moment to give up, silently hoping that luck will patronize them once.

When the fat man walked up to Chen Tianhong, Chen Tianhong took the initiative to salute, and respectfully presented the deliberately made name card with both hands, as well as the most important hundred spirit crystals. You must know that the number of spirit crystals required to obtain the assessment opportunity is only fifteen. The concept of 100 will be explained later.

The fat man is white and chubby, clean, his eyes are quite sharp, it is difficult to hide his shrewd side, his face is serious, the sleeves of his robe are waved, when he took the famous post, a hundred spirit crystals have been involved in the big sleeves, this action is obviously extremely skillful, after carefully looking at the famous post, he nodded and said: "Your qualifications are indeed good." Out of the queue, follow me to report and register, just that. ”

"Thank you for the promotion!"

Chen Tianhong saluted again, and when he walked out of the column, the little greyhound barked, which attracted the attention of the fat man. The fat man's gaze did not take his own initiative away from the little greyhound, and it was not until the fifteen spirit crystals were placed in front of him that he nodded vigorously.

"This puppy is good, and it can be of great use. The fat man commented, "Chen silkworm, you have to take this dog well and contribute to the Chamber of Commerce." In the future, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely have a big reward. ”

Chen Tianhong hurriedly responded: "Obey the orders of the lord!" At this point, he had prepared more than a month's worth of spirit crystals, and there were three left.

The fat man walked away solemnly, and if he really walked past Cai Yixiao and the others, he commented on them one by one.

Chen Tianhong quietly looked up, but when he saw that the remnant sun was fading, the sky was high and the clouds were faint, he felt as if he was standing at the end of the world, and the upright figure in his heart was going away. I comforted myself in my heart: Manly, big husband, able to bend and stretch, Fang is the true character of a man. What is lost now must be regained in the future.

* * *

Half Moon City, the general rudder compound of the Three-Inch Chamber of Commerce.

Chun Xiaobai sat on a chair, drinking a pale green water, as if he was contemplating and deciding. Behind him stood a black-robed man with a mask on his face, holding his hands in front of his chest, not angry and arrogant. There were eight people standing on either side, all middle-aged people, wearing the same blue robes, but one of them had a jade plate on his waist that was different from the other seven.

In the courtyard about three zhang away from them, there were more than 100 people, aged between 18 and 40. There was a little uneasiness on everyone's faces.

After a long time, Chun Xiaobai cleared his voice, deliberately attracting the attention of those present, and also showed that he had made the final decision.

"These 121 people will be the last batch of new members of the Chamber of Commerce this year. Xie shopkeeper, the 'Yuan Shifang' you are responsible for is the most short of manpower, and you can choose two-thirds by yourself. The remaining one-third is divided equally between the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper. The corners of Chun Xiaobai's eyebrows raised slightly, squinting at the eight people and everyone, "The deity will set off to return to the main altar tonight and explain the situation in Half Moon City to the Chamber of Commerce in detail. The shopkeepers have to be entangled in business, and they don't have to go far. You and other newcomers, be sure to do your best for the Chamber of Commerce. If there is slackness, it will not be spared. ”

After speaking, the black-robed man behind him picked up a round magic weapon, flashing with dazzling flames, and left with Chun Xiaobai Yukong, and a clear complaint came from the sky in that direction: "Where this kind of bird doesn't, it's better to give up earlier." I'm going to have to talk to my dad about it. ”

After Chun Xiaobai left, the middle-aged man with a purple jade pendant on his waist walked slowly to the middle, his blazing eyes swept over the seven people one by one, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what, we have to take care of Elder Chun's face." ”

He is the chief treasurer of the helmsman of the Half Moon City, surnamed Ning Mingjin, and he is quite powerful, but because there is no one above, he can only succumb to the southeast corner, depressed, and continued meaningfully: "Everyone calm down, each belongs to you, and each performs its duties." Don't let the Chamber of Commerce delay things. ”

"It's all about using money to buy straw bags for the future, and it's not uncommon for old people to be old!"

A middle-aged man with a goatee scolded angrily and left in the air. The others looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly. After a while, three more people left depressed.

"Ning ......" A middle-aged man with rat whiskers was about to speak, but was stopped by the shopkeeper Ning raising his hand, "Be a shopkeeper, everything is in the interests of the Chamber of Commerce." Needless to say. ”

The three of them were smiling when they faced the shopkeeper Ning, and when they faced more than a hundred newcomers, their faces were gloomy, and their fierce eyes seemed to be able to pierce people. The three of them did not fight each other, circled at will, and divided more than 100 people. Immediately, with their assigned people, they walked out of the rudder compound and left in the east, southeast, and southwest directions.

The shopkeeper and his party had the largest number of people and headed southwest.

Chen Tianhong and the seven of them were all in a queue here, walking at the back, looking at each other from time to time, with strange expressions on their faces. Because although they know very little, they still have a little understanding of such a significant place as "Yuanshifang".

Yuanshifang, as the name suggests, is the place that is specifically responsible for collecting blank stones with special textures. The names of this blank stone are really varied, and the grades are divided into nine grades, and there is a resounding reputation - "Yuan Stone".

Each of the nine chambers of commerce will set up one or two Yuanshifangs. In a small place like Half Moon City, only one rudder will be set up, usually temporarily.

The shopkeeper was very angry, but he was helpless. Because of the Yuanshi Fang he was in charge of, he couldn't hand over the Yuanshi on time, and he had already been named and notified twice by the Chamber of Commerce. If there is no change next time, he will automatically be reduced to an ordinary subordinate.

Even if it is these ninety people, it is still the head he secretly gave gifts to win over. His peers understood his difficulties, so they didn't embarrass him.

Although he despises these newcomers who spend money to buy places, he has been trained for a long time, and he knows that if he blindly acts domineeringly, it will always backfire.

Along the way, silence accompanied everyone, wearing stars and moons, shuttling through the paths between mountains and hills, until they reached dawn, and finally arrived in front of a valley. Immediately three people came up to him.

"Shopkeeper ......"

"Dead again?" Xie shopkeeper didn't wait for the three of them to finish speaking, roared angrily, closed his eyes for a long time, and waved his hand: "That's it, that's it, it's a big deal, I'll be cheeky enough to go to Shopkeeper Ning to borrow people." Lao Zhan, you should settle these 90 people and start work immediately, there must be no mistakes. ”

One of the three square-faced men said, "Yes!"

The person named Lao Zhan, with a square face and big ears, a pair of tiger eyes and round eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, about thirty years old, after scanning everyone, said loudly: "Follow me!"

Lao Zhan led the way in front, and after entering the valley Baizhang, he turned and headed to the northeast, and then advanced Baizhang, and came to the huge cave with a black bang, and said loudly: "This is the place where you work and live, and each person shall not be less than ten yuan stones per day. If there are less than 10 tablets for seven consecutive days, it will be automatically eliminated. If you dare to hide the Yuan Stone privately, you will destroy the whole family. ”

Lao Zhan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Every day, I will send food." ”

Originally, there was a next sentence, but he didn't say it, and he didn't need to say it, everyone naturally understood. With that, he turned and left.

When Fan Xiaozhang saw Lao Zhan far away, he gently poked Chen Tianhong's waist and made a grimace, meaning: We bought such a future at such a high price?

Chen Tianhong shook his head slightly, and was the first to walk towards the cave.

Someone whispered, "Oh, no, there are no tools for quarrying!"

One of them said lightly: "There are many tools left by dead people in the cave, and there are enough of them. ”

The valley was originally gloomy, and the caves in the valley were even more gloomy, if you added the caves that had died, the timid people only felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly saw that the seniors of the quarrying stone were smiling and waving to him, welcome to join.

* * *

Chen Tianhong was the first to walk into the cave, but when he saw the extremely irregular traces carved out of the cave wall, he immediately understood that the entire cave was a yuan stone mine. Each yuan stone has to be pulled out from this hard gray stone wall, if there is no way, no skill, the difficulty can be imagined. In particular, the deeper the cave, the greater the potential danger.

He kept walking inside, and sure enough, when he reached the innermost part of the cave, the traces of the cave collapse were very conspicuous, and there were still clear blood stains on the stone wall not far away, and there were axes, chisels, hammers, saws, pliers and other utensils scattered all over the ground. It is not difficult to deduce that the shutdown will last no more than a month.

After estimating the difficulty of work and survival, Chen Tianhong randomly picked up the axe, hammer and pliers on the ground, selected a stone wall in the upper left corner of the cave in front of the cave, and carefully observed it for a long time before starting.

Bang~

The first sound came, waking up the person who was still in a daze. Everyone carefully picked up the axes, hammers, and pliers, and kept their eyes on the quarryman in front of them, and no one actually did it. It wasn't until Chen Tianhong stopped and held a diamond-shaped small gray stone in his palm that everyone cheered.

The rank of the Yuan Stone is from the highest to the lowest in order from the first to the ninth grade. This kind of diamond-shaped small gray stone is a nine-grade yuan stone, which can refine up to fifty percent of the purity of blue spirit crystals.

However, half an hour has passed since the completion of the collection of a nine-grade yuan stone.

Someone reminded: "This big brother spent half an hour collecting one. In this way, it would take at least five hours to complete the day's task. It's now halfway through, and today is probably no one who will be able to complete the task on time. ”

Humanitarian: "I heard from the old people in the village that if you can collect more than five Yuan Stones on the first day, there will often be an additional reward. ”

Someone said: "Then we have to hurry." ”

Everyone hula scattered, each picked a position, and collected it with a bang.

Chen Tianhong looked at the diamond-shaped gray stone grains in his hand, listened to what others said, looked at everyone's actions, and said in his heart: If I want to complete ten in a day, it is really more than enough. But in this case, I am going to get ahead again. This time, I must take the road of moderation and let myself settle down.

Seeing that everyone has devoted themselves to the work of quarrying Yuanshi, the heart said: This cave is extremely dangerous, if it is excavated indiscriminately, it will be infinitely harmful. Only when someone stands up, directs the overall situation, and mines in an orderly manner, can we avoid disasters as much as possible and improve the efficiency of collection.

His gaze swept over the backs of the crowd, pausing slightly on one of them. Who is the one who reminds everyone, eight feet long, with a long face, a pointed chin, a bunch of big ears, and hands above the knees.

Chen Tianhong said in his heart: I will choose him. I have to think carefully about how to borrow the hand of a dead man without any flaws, and tell him something secretly, so that he can stand out.

Chen Tianhong has always been a person with absolutely strong backers, and he always does everything himself, charging ahead of everyone. Now, taking the initiative to switch roles, he deeply feels that it is not so comfortable.

A person's life has always been an inflection point one inflection point after another. When standing at the turning point, some people go with the flow and do nothing all their lives, and some people follow the waves and become the trendsetters of the times.

Chen Tianhong sighed in his heart, but he was always inexplicably caught in a life of emotion, which caused his thinking to often be infocused. After a while, put away the nine-grade yuan stone and immediately put it into the next one.

For a moment, a dense clanging sound sounded in the cave.

Chen Tianhong's collection speed is to successfully mine a yuan stone every half an hour. When you successfully collect three in a row, you have completely mastered the method of collection, and you are completely sure that you can collect five pieces every hour. In order to practice the golden mean, this speed must not be fast. So, I slowly figured out how to hide some of the Yuan Shi for my own private research.

Small back, small ding, very conspicuous, once searched, there is no way to avoid. It is almost impossible to be taken to such caves as hard laborers.

Chen Tianhong was a little dizzy, and he actually felt that it was so difficult to do something trivial? After waking up, he realized that it was his 14 years of hallucinations that were causing trouble. If you go back to fourteen years ago, when you were a teenager who didn't have the last meal, it is not difficult to understand.

He gradually understood why books always record that many powerful people could make a comeback after failure, but one by one they sank, lost in the illusion of the past, and died depressed. After experiencing it myself, I realized that it was so difficult to change roles. It is no wonder that those predecessors have chosen to be lost and sunk.

"Put it down!"

With a long sigh in his heart, his determination became stronger. Looking back inadvertently, he suddenly saw that the shopkeeper didn't know when it would come, and he was scanning everyone intently, with a weird smile on his face.

* * *

Chen Tianhong silently recited: Heaven is evil, it is still violated, and self-inflicted evil, you cannot live.

In the world, everything is impermanent.

There are many intelligent people who are rolling and crawling in the whirlpool of rivers and lakes, and they are working hard. The same whirlpool, the same opportunity, countless pairs of eyes staring at every gap, there are very few people who can successfully grab the beach. It is probably for this reason that the world is full of legends. Otherwise, everyone is mediocre.

Looking at the shopkeeper who appeared in time, Chen Tianhong really realized how naïve and whimsical his idea of wanting to support the "puppet" was. Realizing that a person like the shopkeeper is an old man who does not leak, and his control of subtle changes is far beyond the ability of a rookie.

"Brothers, please stop. Seeing that some people had discovered his arrival, the shopkeeper sighed: "Everything is my fault for Xie Xiao." ”

Xie shopkeeper inexplicably admitted his mistake, which made everyone very confused.

Xie Shopkeeper, whose real name is Xie Xiao, is forty years old, and is one of the countless small shopkeepers at the lowest level of the Three-inch Chamber of Commerce.

"Last night, the brothers had a tiring journey, and without a moment's rest, they immediately threw themselves into the work of mining yuanshi. It's really that I can't understand people's feelings, and I'm very negligent. I hope that the brothers will have a lot of seas. Xie Xiao hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Xie has set up wine and food outside the cave, and invited the brothers to dine." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, completely confused.

Under the second "invitation" of the shopkeeper, everyone walked out of the cave one after another. Wine and meat are indeed placed outside the cave, but not only wine and meat, but also about more than 100 people, all of whom are skinny, with deep-set eyes, like people and non-humans, and their ages are difficult to distinguish.

The shopkeeper said loudly: "Everyone, don't be restrained, please eat." ”

Everyone was in a fog and didn't know why, so they had to step forward in an orderly manner, cut a large piece of meat, pour a large bowl of wine, and then walked to the side to eat and drink, observing others in a daze, pondering what happened.

Chen Tianhong cut a large piece of pork belly and silently walked to the side, a little away from the shopkeeper, seemingly focused on eating meat, and his eyes never left the range where the shopkeeper was located. First of all, it was determined that when everyone was eating meat, the three subordinates of the shopkeeper did not come out of the cave, and he himself had been standing outside with a melancholy expression.

After a long time, Chen Tianhong withdrew his eyes, looked at the puppy at his feet, and looked at the meat in his hand with a pair of tearful and pitiful eyes. I had to half-squat, tore a piece of fat, quietly stuffed a yuan stone into the meat, and then threw the meat to the puppy. The puppy swallows it in one bite. Finally, a large piece of meat, half for humans and half for dogs.

Chen Tianhong said silently: "Gu Wu, Gu Wu, digest it slowly, help me take the Yuan Shi out of here for me to study slowly." ”

Compared to the only currency circulating in the entire Immortal Realm, the "Spirit Crystal", the Yuan Stone will hardly fall into the hands of ordinary people. It is not difficult to understand the reason here, only by grasping the absolute upstream resource of Yuanshi, and then refining the spirit crystal with the unique magic circle and spirit weapon, can the water flow for a long time. If a large number of yuan stones are outflowed, there will be a genius figure who will appear, and he will also be able to participate in the secret method of refining spirit crystals, and he will be independent of the portal.

At this moment, he already understood that the purpose of the shopkeeper to gather all the manpower was not only to personally garrison the cave and personally supervise the progress of the mining of Yuanshi, but it was difficult to know what the reason was. In this way, it can be inferred that this place, which is called "Yuanshifang", is actually a "Yuanshi Mine", and it will not be long before the mining will be completed. It is likely to be a great opportunity for the manager to be promoted.

Therefore, it is impossible to "steal a yuan stone" under the nose of such an old Jianghu as the shopkeeper, at least in theory. And the opportunity just now will undoubtedly be the best opportunity. Next, it depends on the belly of the little greyhound.

After three quarters, the wine was drunk, the meat was eaten, and everyone's faces became rosy.

The shopkeeper said: "Next, I will fight side by side with all the brothers to collect the Yuan Stone Mine together. Let's take a break, and Xie will arrange it first. With that, he turned and walked into the cave.

Fan Xiaozhang said in a low voice: "What is he going to do? He is the shopkeeper here!" Seeing that no one responded, he tilted his mouth, snorted lowly, and muttered a few words alone.

After another three moments, without the active summoning of the shopkeeper, everyone walked into the cave in turn. I saw that the torches were burning in the cave, and the light was bright. Clear areas are drawn on the stone walls, marking the direction of mining, and tools such as axes and tongs are placed nearby.

As the group entered the cave, a thin-faced man approached, in groups of ten, pointing to different marked locations and staring at them carefully.

Chen Tianhong formed a team with nine complete strangers, five of whom were old people and four were newcomers who had come together, and the mining location was on the left side of the cave, about five zhang away from the innermost position.

Everyone quickly jumped into mining.

Chen Tianhong is very easy to mine, and his eyes have never left the five old people. He was very sure that every moment, the five of them would look into the cave very tacitly, breathing a little heavily. Then, with a slight flustered look, he withdrew his eyes and continued to mine.

Chen Tianhong thought to himself: It seems that this shrewd shopkeeper is afraid that he really has a plan. If this is the case, after the deed is accomplished, wouldn't it be a natural thing to kill people and kill people?

He remembered that he had copied the book of Heavenly Creations, which he had copied: Anyone who quarries ore, and who is experienced, can use his body to perceive subtle changes in the veins and anticipate potential dangers that may exist.

Therefore, he deliberately brought the hand holding the pliers closer to the stone wall.

"Brother, if you hold the pliers like this, it is easy to hurt your hands. As soon as Chen Tianhong made a little move, the thin man immediately stepped forward and reminded him verbally, Chen Tianhong was shocked in his heart, and said to himself: "This is simply amazing." Fortunately, I am new here, and I have a chance to tolerate mistakes. ”

He didn't speak, but deliberately adjusted the proportions of his grip, and just waited for the thin man to walk away, and said in his heart: In this way, I am afraid that it will not work with my feet?

* * *

For seven days, a short rest of three meals a day, and everyone worked sleeplessly and nightly.

The shopkeeper didn't rest for a moment, and the others had nothing to complain about.

At the beginning of the night on the seventh day, everyone clearly felt that the temperature in the cave began to rise.

The body of a thin man beside Chen Tianhong trembled violently, and the axe and pliers in his hand were unstable. Chen Tianhong kicked him lightly and shook his head slightly. The man didn't look at Chen Tianhong, but looked into the depths of the cave, and suddenly as if he had seen a ghost, he roared out, turned around and ran. Before he could run out of the hole, the knife flashed outside the cave, and the man fell silently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please mine the Yuanshi carefully. Don't learn from this person, you panic first. The expression of the long-faced thin man was not so gentle, and he snorted coldly, "Everyone is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, of course, the interests of the Chamber of Commerce should be the priority." Everyone must understand that in the face of the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone's lives will be worthless. ”

The icy voice, the breath of the dead, and the bloody diffuse made the atmosphere in the cave go into hellish mode.

The sound of sweat dripping, the messy sound of hammer pliers, the sound of heavy breathing, the sound of sound mixed together, as if it was a roar of all effort from hell.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the cave: "All face the stone wall, clinging to it, close your eyes." Before the words fell, there was a click, which was the sound of cutting off the head.

In an instant, what was originally a blazing cave, everyone seemed to be trapped in an ice cave, turning into an iceman close to the stone wall.

This seemingly sudden change has been brewing for more than a few years.

This is the Yuan Shifang that the shopkeeper has been carefully operating for several years.

In other words, Chen Tianhong is also honestly clinging to the stone wall, his hands are drooping, but he has a black rod on his chest, and two-thirds of it has sunk into the stone wall. The slightly bowed body completely blocked the view from the outside, making it impossible to notice the abnormality at all.

This is a position that he has painstakingly prepared for seven days, and it is a round hole deliberately chiseled out with iron tongs. The fly in the ointment is that the suddenness of things is far beyond my imagination. But at the critical moment, he still stuck the black rod into the round hole.

Chen Tianhong also knew nothing, and the reason why he did this was deduced from the behavior of the shopkeeper, some old coolies, and his own sense of smell: the secret here must be only in the cave itself.

With such a premise, the rest of the things are fine. Coincidentally, he has an artifact in his hand that can make a bet.

The temperature continued to rise, and the hot Chen Tianhong was extremely uncomfortable, thinking that others would not be better there. But after about a moment, the black cane, which had been quiet, heated up slightly, and slowly squeezed into the stone wall. Chen Tianhong came to his senses in an instant, his body leaned closer, and he secretly exerted his strength, and really sent the black rod directly into the stone wall. The corner of his eye swept over, and after the black staff entered the stone wall, it began to accelerate into the stone wall.

When Chen Tianhong was anxious about how to plug the round hole with the stone particles hidden in his sleeve, he suddenly heard an angry roar: "Get out of the ...... for me" Before the roar was finished, Chen Tianhong was the first to turn around, stroked a section of the stone wall with his right hand, and rushed out of the cave.

Before surviving, everyone's reaction is almost as fast.

Everyone ran out of the cave with their mouths wide open and breathed in the cold and comfortable air, which was really the best moment of their lives.

Chen Tianhong mixed in the crowd, secretly pinched a handful of Han, and said in his heart: What's the matter?

Although he inserted the black rod into the cave wall according to his own ideas, all the reaction of the black rod was completely unexpected. I thought that at the critical moment, maybe the black rod could suppress the mysterious things in the cave, so that I could escape. Unexpectedly, everyone was coaxed out directly, and at the moment they regretted leaving the black rod inside.

The heat coming out of the cave is getting higher and higher, invisibly forcing everyone back. Everyone was surprised, but they all looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

Half an hour later, everyone had been forced back more than twenty feet away, and the ground outside the cave was gradually reddening, as if the fire magma was seeping out.

"Look, it's really the 'Fire Yuan Stone'!"

"Oh my God, Xie Xiao did not hesitate to sacrifice more than a thousand lives, he really made the right bet!"

"Tsk, another Chamber of Commerce wizard will be born!"

The people who had been here for a long time were boiling, and the crowd was full of emotions and discussions.

The newcomers' eyes widened as they watched the surface of the cave change as if it were a trick. Some people know about the "Fire Yuan Stone", but the look of surprise when they see it with their own eyes is no different from those who don't know.

Chen Tianhong sighed secretly that he had lost the black staff, and he didn't dare to look at the cave at all, looking for any possible opportunity.

At this moment, a man walked out of the cave, carrying a bloody human head in his hand.

One of them exclaimed, "Shopkeeper Ning!"

Another person was surprised: "Solve the shopkeeper!"

Shopkeeper Ning carried the head of the shopkeeper Xie with an expressionless face, staring at everyone and said loudly: "Xie Xiao killed more than a thousand elites of the Chamber of Commerce, just to get a fire yuan stone here." It's really a big rebellion. As the chief treasurer of Half Moon City, I have to act in accordance with the criminal law of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

He slowly raised Xie Xiao's head and said in a loud voice: "Xie Xiao's ambush, everyone is a witness." I, Ning Jin, will definitely explain the details to the general altar of the Chamber of Commerce. Brothers, don't panic, listen to Ning's unified arrangement, leave this ruin, wait for the door guard, and then make arrangements. ”

After that, he walked towards the crowd step by step with his head.

Chen Tianhong already understood that Ning Jin had already mixed in with the new crowd, and with his ability, all his actions must be in his eyes. At this moment, he calmed down, his hands naturally drooped, and his expression was very natural.

He couldn't be sure that once Ning Jin made a move, whether he would have the opportunity to use the Demon Destroying God Whip to calm the brake and wait and see what happened, it was really a strategy of last resort.

Sure enough, Ning Jin walked up to Chen Tianhong and said in a deep voice: "Chen Silkworm, don't throw your things around. As he spoke, he handed over a black wand and continued: "This black wand of yours should be a legendary artifact condensed from people's 'blood, essence, and qi', and it is useless to others. ”

"Thank you for taking care of the shopkeeper!" Chen Tianhong took the black cane, and Ning Jin's gaze was always opposite, Ning Jin smiled faintly, and whispered in his ear: "Brother silkworm, you have made a great contribution." I will go to the general altar to win a place for you to enter the 'business domain' for further study. ”

Everyone looked at Chen Tianhong with a confused expression, and they really couldn't see what was so special about this young man with a small back, and why he could get such an opportunity.

Chen Tianhong completely understood that he would be the candidate to carry half of the pot, and Ning Jin could use this to keep a hand for himself, which was a perfect choice. Chen Tianhong never expected that he planned to pick a puppet object, but he became a pot divider chosen by others.

It can really be said: the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

At the same time, he didn't understand, why did Ning Jin send himself to the "Shang Domain" in his mouth? Yan Wuqing had never mentioned the matter of "Shang Domain", he must not have known about it, and he had not heard a trace of news after understanding it for more than a month. Looking at Ning Jin's cautious whispering expression, an unprecedented sense of fear quietly came, and Chen Tianhong's calm gaze was a little uncalm.

Xindao: Not to mention how many conspiracies there are here, but I have to admit that my first leap after coming to the Continent of Faun is likely to be truly completed.

Suddenly, his intuition must have been: This Ning Jin is specifically waiting for my arrival?

Chen Tianhong can't deduce, can't deduce. However, excluding the people and things outside the Faun God Continent and only focusing on the people and things in the Faun God Continent, he actually had an answer: the old man Ah Liang who sent him to the Eighth Ring.

Ning Jin looked at the change in Chen Tianhong's eyes, obviously saw the clue, smiled mysteriously, and whispered in his ear: "I can't hide it from you." I might as well tell you clearly that there are old people waiting for your arrival in the 'business domain', and it is expected that you will come. Everyone has been preparing for this 'difficult leap' for a long, long time, and it's time to harvest. ”
