Chapter 159

clang!clang!clang!
In the dim and dark mine, the crisp collision sound of metal and rock continued to resound.

Among this rhythmic and rhythmic sound, there will occasionally be one or two discordant sounds.

Clang!

A dazzling clear light flashed away, and two irregular stones exuding a dense luster revealed their bright corners.

"call!"

With a dull gasp, Li Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and put away the two newly unearthed spirit stones.

"The mineral deposits here are a bit barren. They are not the so-called rich mines. You can't dig out many spiritual stones with just your brute force."

Li Qing has been digging for seven consecutive days. He has not slept much during these seven days. He just relied on his martial arts master-level physical body to forcefully dig out a huge gap in a huge mine.

92 spiritual stones, this was all he had gained from these seven days of non-sleep.

During the continuous digging, combined with the mining experience that Old Man Zhou told him, Li Qing became more and more proficient.

"hiss~"

In the mine, just as Li Qing was breathing heavily, a strange sound suddenly sounded.

Hearing this sound, Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he took action directly, using Miying's footwork, and quickly captured the source of the sound in his hands.

It's a skink!

This small crawling creature is not aggressive, but it is a rare companion creature in the mine. It grows up by absorbing the spiritual energy of the world, and there is no trace of impurities in its body.

Although it is small, the essence it contains is very abundant. Eating one can restore a lot of spiritual energy in the body, and even the fatigue and weakness of the physical body will be reduced a lot.

Li Qing was able to insist on mining the spirit stone mine for seven days because he captured two such spirit beasts during this period.

boom!
Li Qing activated the spiritual power in his body and sent out a small ball of blazing fire, roasting the skin-eating lizard to the core.

The first time he tasted such a small spiritual creature, Li Qing felt extremely alienated and found it difficult to adapt.

But after eating it, I immediately praised it.

Because the taste of this spiritual creature is quite strange, completely different from eating real meat, but rather like chewing some kind of crispy nut.

In fact, his actions of baking were completely unnecessary and were for some psychological comfort.

Most old miners, after catching such a skin-eating lizard, basically swallow it alive without wasting their spiritual energy on processing it.

Click!

After chewing a few casually, Li Qing swallowed the fragile spiritual creature.

Soon, pure spiritual power quickly settled into his Dantian, and at the same time, the physical strength he had just consumed was also rapidly recovering.

"I'm still lucky. Although it's not a rich mine, it's a consolation to catch three skink lizards."

Li Qing sighed, feeling the spiritual energy gradually filling up in his body and the rapid recovery of physical strength. He waved the inferior mining pickaxe in his hand again and began to dig into the mine pit, trying to dig out more ore.

It has to be said that Li Qing thought that he was very right in choosing the task of being a spiritual miner.

Apart from other reasons, he has a huge advantage just because of his physical body, which is more powerful than many immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

A master of martial arts, among other things, he is a master of endurance!
"If that guy from Ningyuan knew that I had been searching for so long and finally found the world of immortality, but could only work as a miner in such a dark place, he would probably laugh at me."

Li Qing smiled bitterly. For some reason, he suddenly thought of that cynical guy Ning Yuan.

He was a martial arts master who stood at the top of the world, and he was in the most prosperous period of his life.

Originally, he should have overlooked the entire martial arts world, and all the martial artists in the world had to rely on his breath to survive.

But I didn’t expect that now I have to settle for mining in places like this. It’s really unacceptable!

Just when Li Qing was filled with resentment, another clear and sonorous sound suddenly sounded.

"Hey, I'm lucky, I dug up another spiritual stone so quickly, it's 93 yuan!"

"Good, good, keep up the good work!"

With that said, Li Qing happily put the spirit stone into the spirit stone storage bag issued by the Tianhe Sect, looking very satisfied with a smile.

Really fragrant!

In this way, Li Qing worked restlessly for two more days, and finally it was time to leave the mine.

120 six yuan!
For an inexperienced miner who is going into the mines for the first time, this is definitely an eye-popping figure.

Generally speaking, newcomers who enter the mine for the first time find it difficult to endure such a dark and boring environment. Physical fatigue and mental loneliness come one after another. For ten days, it is an extremely difficult torture for anyone.

Under the double blow of physical body and spirit, many people will choose to give up immediately after digging for spiritual stones once.

And many times, in order to ensure the monthly output of spiritual stones in the Tianhe Sect, newcomers like Li Qing would not be assigned to rich mining areas, and would basically mine in barren spiritual pits.

So basically for a newbie who joins the mine for the first time, it is already quite good to be able to dig up 30 yuan of spirit stones within ten days.

But Li Qing is different. His physical body is very strong, and he can barely even perform the gestures of physical cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining.

He had also survived in the polar night world for a long time. The ten days of darkness in the mine were not a torture at all to him.

Coupled with the excitement of the huge harvest, Li Qing was even more like a chicken blood. He didn't take much rest for nine days, and he was stunned to dig out 120 six spiritual stones.

"If I hand this over, I can only get 12 Yuan Lingshi, and I have to hand over the remaining 100 yuan."

Seeing the hard work of working hard for nine days, even his hands were calloused, Li Qing was naturally unwilling to hand it over.

Immediately, Li Qing became cruel and closed his eyes suddenly!
After a while, the surrounding environment rippled like ripples on the water.

The world is still extremely dark, but it is very cold, much colder than in the mine!

The shuttle was successful and he entered the polar night world!

Li Qing's little heart skipped a beat. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Li Qing took out 100 yuan of spirit stones without saying a word.

"Sure enough, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone is slowly escaping." Li Qing murmured to himself, but there was not much regret in his eyes.

"However, this level of dissipation is acceptable. The speed is very slow. It will take about two to three months for the spiritual energy in it to be completely lost."

"As long as we bring the spirit stones back within ten days, the difference shouldn't be too big!" After saying that, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the mine with the remaining 26 spirit stones.

After completing all this and confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, Li Qing let out a sigh of relief and became excited.

"If I go out, I can earn two spiritual stones. Then I have earned one hundred and two spiritual stones in these ten days. In one year, I will earn more than one thousand, two hundred spiritual stones!"

This is not a small fortune. For any immortal cultivator in the Qi refining stage, spiritual stones measured in units of one thousand are definitely considered a huge sum of money.

Make a fortune in silence!
"It's comfortable. It's really refreshing to collect the wool of a powerful force!" Li Qing smiled with satisfaction. There was still less than a day left, and he no longer planned to continue digging.

too tired!
Even though he was a martial arts master who dug spirit stones for nine consecutive days, he still felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.

After saying that, Li Qing lay down directly on the hard rock wall, closed his eyes and rested.

While Li Qing was sleeping deeply, the Liu family's monthly ten-day mining deadline finally arrived.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Bells that hit the spirit suddenly rang. All the spirit miners in the mine gave up and left the mine with storage bags containing spirit stones in their waists.

Li Qing, who was sleeping soundly, was immediately awakened. He took a deep breath and ran quickly towards the outside of the mine.

When the exit of the mine was approaching, Li Qing subconsciously covered his eyes. The dazzling light outside made his eyes very uncomfortable.

After staying in the dark for a long time, and suddenly seeing a bright light, even a martial arts master would feel a little overwhelmed.

After a while, after his eyes adjusted to the light, Li Qing walked out of the mine.

There were voices of conversation outside, and the miners' tone was either surprise, frustration, or exhaustion.

"Alas, the mine assigned this time is a bit barren, and only 160 spiritual stones were dug."

"Hahahaha, I'm so prosperous this time. I dug up a middle-grade spiritual stone. It's a good thing that I haven't come across in several years!"

"I'm so tired. I'm so unlucky this time. I didn't even catch a skink."

"."

Listening to these conversations and feeling the bright world outside the mine, Li Qing also smiled with relief.

Soon, someone noticed the disgraced Li Qing.

"Hey, isn't this the newcomer led by Mr. Zhou? He actually persisted. It's not easy."

"Hahaha, Shuisheng, why don't we make a bet? I bet that his harvest this time will not exceed 30 yuan of spiritual stones."

"Go, go, who bets with you? Didn't you only dig around thirty yuan when you first went into the mine?"

Of course, Li Qing didn't care at all about these comments and looks, and he had no intention of showing off.

Let others talk and look down on him, and make a fortune silently. This is the way he likes to survive.

Not long after, Old Man Zhou floated out of another spiritual mine. Upon seeing this, Li Qing immediately showed a simple and honest smile and greeted him.

"Senior Zhou!"

Zhou Tong glanced at the disgraced Li Qing, and then asked: "How many spirit stones were dug this time?"

Li Qing answered truthfully: "Not much, 26 yuan."

"Some are missing." Zhou Tong said calmly.

When Li Qing heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm too tired and too dark. Besides, the reserves of spiritual stones in my mine are very sparse. Even if I try hard, I won't be able to dig out a few pieces."

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Zhou smiled, shook his head and said: "How could the Tianhe Sect give you the rich mines for a newcomer like you who has no experience? Work for a while, and when you become more experienced, you will naturally know how to do it." Assign you to the rich mining area."

This is a fact, because new miners like Li Qing are not the main force in mining. Even if they are assigned a rich mine, they can only dig five or sixty yuan of spiritual stones at most.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let some miners with rich experience and deeper cultivation in the middle stage of gas refining go to the rich ore area.

If a senior spirit miner like Old Man Zhou is assigned to a rich mining area, it will not be difficult to dig more than 300 spirit stones in ten days.

Of course, in fact, in the middle stage of Qi refining, one can earn more than 300 spirit stones in a year just from mining. Such income is already quite scarce.

Fortunately, the spirit miners have plenty of time. They only need to spend ten days in the mines every month. The remaining time can be used to do other things.

Therefore, Li Qing was able to earn more than 100 spirit stones in one breath this time, which is definitely far more than any old miner present.

After all, no one can dig out 1000 yuan of spiritual stones in ten days!

Since the Tianhe Sect began to dig this vein, the most successful one was when someone was extremely lucky and mined three middle-grade spiritual stones in one go, harvesting a total of nearly 600 yuan of spiritual stones!
This is a record number.

Soon, Li Qing followed Zhou Tong, preparing to hand over the spirit stones dug this time, and then distribute the proceeds among the monks of the Shangzong.

Looking at the two hundred or so spiritual stones that Zhou Tong poured out from the storage bag, Li Qing couldn't help but feel secretly frightened. As expected of an old miner in the middle stage of Qi refining, even if he was not assigned to a poor mining area, he would probably have to stay awake for ten days. Talents can match each other.

Next, when it was Li Qing's turn to pour the spirit stone, many people looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Qing made a rather ashamed expression and poured out the pitiful 26 spirit stones at a loss.

This gesture immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha, 26 yuan! I guessed it right!"

"Hahahaha, it's actually not bad. I remember who came from a few years ago. It seems that the first time I went into the mine, I only dug 11 yuan of spiritual stones. Then I couldn't stand it anymore, so I turned around and became a spiritual farmer."

"It's the first time I go into the mines. The newcomers are still digging poor mines. 26 yuan is already quite satisfactory."

"."

The Tianhe Sect disciple who was responsible for accepting the spirit stones just shook his head and chuckled, and then handed over the spirit stone that Li Qing deserved.

"Take it, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are."

Li Qing, who looked embarrassed on the outside but was extremely ordinary on the inside, silently took away two pieces of his own spiritual stones and left without saying a word.

After passing the inspection of the formation and confirming that there was no hidden spirit stone on his body, Li Qing was released.

Riding on the spirit pony, Li Qing just wanted to return to his small yard as quickly as possible and bring back all the spirit stones stored in the polar night world.

After a while, after all the spirit miners came out, Liu Haitian waved his hand and led everyone towards the direction of the Valley of Immortality.

The horse steps on the smoke and flies as fast as the wind!
