The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 165, Interruption of the "Cooperative Mining of Fire Spirit Mine" Project

Because the experience of going to the ghost market for the first time was too tragic, Hua Changxi did not dare to be careless the second time. In addition to refining a batch of third-grade elixirs, on the last day of October, she also went to the Sancha Medicine Valley, preparing to bring some more top-grade fire spirit stones with her in case of emergency.

The location of the Fire Spirit Mine is too close to the Sancha Medicine Valley which is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. In order to avoid being discovered by the imperial court, there are four people led by You Lao patrolling on the outside. Going inside, Hua Changxi also specially arranged a concealment array and a maze array.

However, when it came to the formation, Hua Changxi simply copied the others. The concealment formation and the maze formation at the Fire Spirit Mine were both relatively rudimentary and could not stop high-level cultivators at all.

Just like now, Hua Changxi, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, came over and saw through the formations around the Fire Spirit Mine at a glance. She wanted to enter the Fire Spirit Mine without disturbing anyone.

"Draw the talisman and set up the formation."

Before, she couldn’t set up a teleportation array because she couldn’t carve runes; now, because she didn’t know how to set up advanced formations, she couldn’t hide the spiritual mine.

Hua Changxi realized once again that on the path of cultivation, there are many things to learn besides practicing.

At this stage, due to limited energy, she has no time to study other things, but she needs things like talismans, formation plates, and spiritual weapons.

If you don't know how to do it, then you can only make friends with some monks who know these things.

The first time she went to the ghost market, she went there with the purpose of breaking into the circle of monks, but unfortunately she returned empty-handed. She hoped that she could gain something this time.

Hua Changxi seldom comes to the Fire Spirit Mine. The Fire Spirit Stones mined every month are directly stored in an underground cave connected to the Fire Spirit Mine.

Hua Changxi did not alarm the patrolling monks or the miners digging for spirit stones, and sneaked into the cave silently.

In the stone cave, boxes of fire spirit stones were neatly arranged.

Hua Changxi didn't look at the low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade Fire Spirit Stones, and went straight to the top-grade Fire Spirit Stones. However, when he arrived at the top-grade Fire Spirit Stone area, he found that there were only three boxes of top-grade Fire Spirit Stones.

One box can hold 10,000 spirit stones. Three boxes would only hold 30,000 top-grade fire spirit stones.

Hua Changxi had never withdrawn the spirit stones here. It took her two or three years to mine out such a small amount of top-grade fire spirit stones, which was far from her budget.

Hua Changxi knew that the four people including You Lao were guarding the Fire Spirit Mine, so they would definitely embezzle some money. As long as it was not excessive, she did not bother to care. But looking at the three boxes of top-grade Fire Spirit Stones in front of her, she was really a little angry.

This time, Hua Changxi didn't want to disturb the four old men of You, and she didn't even want to meet Hua Liulang, but at this moment, she decided to go and meet them.

After taking away three boxes of top-grade fire spirit stones and all the high-grade spirit stones, Hua Changxi left the mine. When she came out of the mine, she noticed that dozens of stone caves had been opened up on the mountain walls on both sides of the Fire Spirit Mine.

At this moment, there were people meditating and practicing in the stone cave.

Hua Changxi sent out his spiritual sense and scanned the area, and found that more than ten of these people were already Qi Hai realm cultivators.

It is obvious that these monks are undoubtedly the followers of the four monks led by You.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi narrowed her eyes and realized with shock that even if she sent Hua Liulang over to supervise, with the control of the spiritual mine by the four old men of You, she was afraid that she would be directly sidelined by the four old men of You in a few years.

In a slightly larger stone cave in the valley, she "saw" Hua Liulang gesticulating with his hands and feet. Opposite him, You Lin, Yang Chuan, Zhuo Fan, and Jiang Ye sat leisurely, watching Hua Liulang as if they were watching a play.

Seeing this scene, Hua Changxi's face suddenly darkened.

However, she did not rush forward to find out what was going on, but turned around and dived into the depths of the spiritual mine again.

A quarter of an hour later, a mineral spirit emitting red light, six or seven meters long, and shaped like a fire snake was taken into the Sumeru mustard seed on Hua Changxi's neck.

After the mine spirit was taken away, this Fire Spirit Mine became a dead mine. It would no longer automatically condense new spirit stones and would disappear after being mined.

This time, she realized that it was not easy to manage the Fire Spirit Mine. She had no one under her command. If she hired outsiders, they would most likely be sidelined; if she hired her own family members, conflicts of interest would inevitably arise in the future, which was what she least wanted to face.

It was not the first time that the four You Lao had done something behind her back. She did not want to be a person who took advantage of the situation and drained the mine spirits, thus ruining the Fire Spirit Mine. However, she did not have the energy to manage it. The four You Lao were not people she could work with for a long time. Therefore, she could only suspend the project of "cooperating in mining the Fire Spirit Mine".

"You have already opened up so many caves. You can't open up any more."

Hua Liulang was very dissatisfied with the fact that the four people including You Lao continued to dig more caves around the spiritual mine.

You Lao smiled and said, "The spiritual energy around the spiritual mine is rich. It would be a pity to waste it."

Hua Liulang was very angry when he heard this: "Don't bully me because I don't know anything. The spiritual energy released by the spiritual mine is limited. You asked so many people to come here to practice. Do you want to use up all the spiritual mine directly?"

Jiang Ye didn't want Hua Liulang to bring this matter to Hua Changxi, so he smiled and comforted him: "Liulang, we are all Changxi's people, so our clansmen are naturally Changxi's people. I believe Changxi is willing to cultivate his subordinates."

Hua Liulang was feeling very aggrieved at the moment. Every time something happened, the four You brothers had suitable excuses to brush him off, leaving him speechless.

"Brother Six!"

Hua Changxi's voice was heard outside the cave, startling everyone. The four You Lao stood up suddenly and looked at each other nervously.

Hua Liulang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked out of the cave: "Jiu Niang, why are you here?"

Hua Changxi: "I'm here to withdraw some spirit stones. Sixth brother, I'm giving you the Fire Spirit Mine to manage. If you can't handle it alone, you can find helpers. But there is one thing you have to remember, you are responsible for the management of the people you find."

Hua Liulang immediately asked: "Can I ask my family to come over and help?"

Hua Changxi: "Okay, but if there are conflicts of interest among your family members in the future, you have to resolve them yourself."

Hua Liulang thought that instead of letting the four You Lao take advantage, it would be better to let the Hua family take advantage: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

"Changxi, you're here?"

The four You brothers also came out and looked at Hua Changxi with a smile.

Hua Changxi nodded towards the four people. Since the cooperation had been interrupted, she had nothing more to say to them. When she was choosing partners before, she was too hasty and chose unsatisfactory people. Now that the project was messed up, she had to bear the consequences herself.

As for the remaining fire spirit ore, it will be used to refine her sixth brother.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing Hua Changxi suddenly appear and leave again, without saying anything to them and asking nothing, the four old men You began to feel puzzled.

Did Hua Changxi trust them too much?
"Master You, Master Yang, Master Zhuo, Master Jiang, I will ask the Hua family to come and help me later. When the time comes, I hope you can give me more guidance."

Seeing that the Hua family was about to get involved, the four You brothers were naturally unhappy, but they couldn't stop them.

"What is supposed to come has come."

"In fact, the involvement of the Hua family is not a completely bad thing. As long as we get along well with the Hua family, our bond with Hua Changxi will be even deeper."

"That's right. Have you noticed that Hua Changxi's aura is becoming more and more terrifying. I don't even dare to look her in the eyes. I wonder how high her cultivation level is now?"

"No matter what, we can't offend Hua Changxi. Now that the Hua family is involved, we should be less tampering with the spiritual stones we mined."

While Yang Chuan and the other two were discussing, You Lao remained silent.

Hua Changxi came over and ignored them, which made him feel uneasy. He felt that Hua Changxi seemed to no longer care about this spiritual mine.
