Chapter 76 The Mine

Chapter 76 The Mine

After teasing the bearded steward, Zhou Shu felt quite relieved. He bent over to pick up the hoe, and went deep into the mine.

The mine is secluded, and the deeper you go, the more white fog there is, and the colder it is. He had to input more spiritual power into Nuanyang Yuhuan to resist the invasion of cold air.

not feeling well.

In this case, his spiritual power might not be enough just to maintain Nuanyang Yuhuan.

Going further in, Zhou Shu saw several busy cultivators.

The cultivators glanced at him and found it strange, but they didn't say anything and continued to fight with their hoe.

Zhou Shu stood aside and observed carefully.

These cultivators were very light-handed, using their hoes as brooms, sweeping back and forth in the mine with almost no sound, which was a bit weird.

Zhou Shu also raised his hands.

Soon he discovered that this hoe is actually a magic weapon. As long as enough spiritual power is input, the tip of the hoe will produce spiritual vibrations, just like a formula, which will crack and loosen the stones around the veins. The design is ingenious. It saves a lot of effort for mining.

But he didn't do this, his spiritual power didn't allow it.

When, when, when!

The quiet mine suddenly became noisy.

The cultivators outside scolded, "What are you arguing about? Do you know how to mine? Are you a barbarian?"

"That's not a hoe, don't mess around!"

Some kindly explained, "Little brother, try to input spiritual power, don't just rely on strength, that won't work."

"Thank you, brother, I understand."

Zhou Shu yelled, picked up the hoe and walked a little further inside.

The clang, clang, clang sounded again, but it was so far away that no one complained.

Zhou Shu felt pretty good.

He has trained his body for several months, and has been eating spiritual food. In terms of physical strength, he is probably much higher than his spiritual strength. It does not take much effort to mine like this, and after digging for a long time, his body is full of heat, which is enough to fight The cold outside contends.

The inside is hot and the outside is cold, and the two breaths are constantly intertwined. Although the body is a bit uncomfortable, the muscles and blood are abnormally active. This feeling is similar to soaking in the medicinal liquid to quench the body. The body has a tendency to continuously strengthen, and the effect of body training seems to be good.

He simply gave up using Nuanyang Yuhuan.

With a hint of satisfaction, he said, "This place is very suitable for body training."

It's just trouble again, he doesn't know where there is a mine to dig.

After hoeing for a while, out of breath, I didn't see any trace of the mine.

Zhou Shu stopped and looked left and right for a long time. There was a vast expanse of white mist everywhere. No matter how good his eyesight was, it was difficult to see where there were traces of ore.

Dig it, just dig out a piece and see what it looks like.

Anyway, it's the first day, there is no target limit, and I will find a way when I go back.

Digging to the point where he almost lost his strength, he went down with nearly a thousand hoes, and his hard work paid off. At Zhou Shu's feet, a small grayish-white vein appeared.

"Is that it?"

Excited, he carefully removed the surrounding soil and rocks, revealing a piece of iron ore.

The light gray ore, with crystal light shining on it, is as cold as ice to the touch, and it is full of spiritual energy. The fog crystal iron is extracted from it.

Fog crystal iron is a second-grade cold iron that is widely used in the world of cultivating immortals.

Looking at this piece of iron ore weighing less than two catties, Zhou Shu felt a little troubled.

Digging like this by yourself is definitely not enough. Without spiritual power, you can only rely on strength, and you don’t know the tricks to find ore. It only took two catties, and it took more than an hour. Forty catties, digging for a whole day without rest is not enough.

The task was really difficult, but it had to be done when it was assigned, and the bearded steward couldn't be laughed at, let alone Liu Anmin's tricks.

If Zhou Shu gave up the chores, not to mention his contribution, he would even have his benefits deducted and be expelled from the sect.

"This thing is similar to the aura of a low-grade spirit stone. Can I use Xiaoroll to find it?"

An idea flashed in Zhou Shu's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt right, "Xiao Gun is too sensitive to spiritual energy, and it is so fat... If you don't work hard, it should be slaughtered and eaten."

Thinking of this, his mood improved a lot.

Zhou Shu picked up the iron ore, picked up the hoe, and walked towards the exit.

There were two cultivators who were not digging, but were chatting with hoes, "Old Zhang, how much did you dig today?"

"Barely seventy-three, it's almost eighty."

"It's not bad. This newly opened mine is better. There are more mines. I don't know how the new kid is doing. Can you give me a hand?"

"What's the use of the new ones? They're only on the fourth floor of the Qi Refining Realm. Let's take a look first."

"It's hard to say, it depends on luck."

When Zhou Shu came over, the two of them were still talking to themselves without even looking at Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

After walking out of the mine, he took a breather and walked up to Xu Lie with the iron ore.

Xu Lie glanced at him, still with that trace of disdain in his eyes, "I actually dug up a piece, and I can achieve such a result in two hours, which is worthy of congratulations."

Zhou Shu ignored his taunt, "Guard Xu, count, I will make up for the difference in catties in the future."

Xu Lie was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's kind of interesting to have this thought, don't worry, I will remember it for you."

Zhou Shu put down the iron ore and the hoe, and walked down the mountain without saying much.

Whoosh.

A small jade bottle flew from behind and landed in front of him, accompanied by Xu Lie's rough voice, "Eat it, or you won't be able to come tomorrow."

Zhou Shu was slightly taken aback, turned around, with a look of anger on his face, and tightly squeezed the jade bottle in his hand.

"Steward, what do you mean?"

He has always restrained his emotions well, but since he started, he has been treated unfairly too much, and he can't bear it anymore.

Xu Lie said indifferently, "Looking at the ice slag on your body, you must have dug it with your physical strength, right? You don't have enough spiritual power, so you only rely on physical strength, and you even want to use cold mist to temper your body, do you want to kill two birds with one stone?"

Zhou Shu looked at himself. He was indeed covered in icy slag, probably because he had sweated profusely before. The sweat condensed when it came into contact with the cold mist. He didn't notice it.

He looked at Xu Lie coldly, "So what?"

Xu Lie snorted, "You use the cold mist to temper your body, it's kind of thoughtful, but with your ability, you still want to resist the cold mist here? Ignorance! Although you can't feel it, the cold air has penetrated deeply into your body , if you don’t use Yangchun Pill to get rid of the cold air that fell into your body, then you are going to lie down for half a month. When you come to mine in the future, you must either be honest and use your spiritual power, or..."

After speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Shu was stunned for a while, then sat down cross-legged, and began to check in doubt.

He was shocked immediately by this inspection.

Just now he was busy mining, and had never used his spiritual power, so he didn't feel it at all, and only now did he realize that the problem was serious.

As Xu Lie said, the cold mist had penetrated into the body, the blood stagnated a bit, and there was even a thin layer of frost covering the walls of the air veins.

If this continues, not to mention lying down for half a month, it is possible that the Qi meridian will be damaged again.

He quickly opened the jade bottle, took out a fiery red pill, looked at it for a while, and then put it in his mouth.

The elixir melted quickly, and the warm current flowed from top to bottom, flowing through every part of his body. White smoke was emitted from his whole body, and it took a quarter of an hour to gradually dissipate.

Her body returned to normal, Zhou Shu stood up slowly, looked around, but couldn't find Xu Lie to thank her, so she had to go down the mountain.
