Chapter 282: Sharpening the Knife Does Not Delay the Chopping of Wood! [Subscribe Please]

"The mine cave is naturally a place for mining!"

"We have to consume points every day in Shen Jianyuan to eat, drink, defecate, and purchase cultivation materials, and points can only be exchanged for mineral materials or plundered from others!"

After simply getting familiar with the mine tunnel!

The skinny old man began to teach Wei Hong and Nie Sanniang how to mine with due diligence.

This is a craft. After all, the ore is buried deep in the soil, and it is not easy to dig without some skills.

The skinny old man has been in Shen Jianyuan for more than ten years, and his eyesight for finding and mining is still very sharp.

I saw him looking around in the mine cave, pinching the soil to smell the moisture, and then choosing an abandoned pit to one side and started digging.

In a few seconds!

Large pieces of stone were dug down!

After digging more than half a meter away, when the pickaxe head hit a boulder with a clang, the skinny old man grinned with a big yellow tooth.

He dug out the boulder quickly!

He used his inner strength to continuously strike the boulder, peeling off its outer layer, and finally got a fist-sized piece of silver metal weighing about seven or eight taels.

"This is Earthly Evil Silver Sand Iron, the most common metal in the entire mining area. We ordinary blacksmiths don't know how to use it, but it is said that in the world of immortal cultivation, this thing is also a common material for refining magic tools!" The skinny old man explained slowly.

Nie Sanniang took the metal with her beautiful hands and looked at it, then threw it to Wei Hong and asked, "How much is this thing?"

"1 tael 10 points!" the skinny old man replied.

"Not bad!" Wei Hong weighed it and smiled, "One dollar and seven or eight ounces can get 70 or 80 points."

"Not bad at all!" The skinny old man took a puff of his pipe and said unhappily, "Don't think it's easy to make money just because I dug out a piece of ore so easily. But in fact, I often couldn't dig up a piece of ore in a few days when I first came here!"

"The other dozens of points are not all yours. If you are affiliated with a small group, you have to hand them over. In addition, you have to buy food and evil-removing pills. Digging a piece of earth evil silver sand iron in a day can only ensure food and clothing."

After that, the old man continued to dig!

As he dug, he said, "Anything that can't be broken by internal force in the mine is a useful ore. If you don't know it, just take it back. Someone from the garrison will identify and register it."

"In addition, there are rich mines and poor mines. Most of the rich mines are controlled by small groups, and most of the individual people can only go to the poor mines to dig. If you are not convinced, you can also rob a rich mine yourself!"

Wei Hong was a little speechless when he heard this!

It seems that the law of the jungle is everywhere, and the fittest survive!

If he is an ordinary strong man in the refining organ realm, there are only two ways to quickly earn points, either to keep warm and bully others, or to work hard to the end!

But Wei Hong is not an ordinary person, he is cheating!

He can either max out the mining and prospecting skills, or let the nine ghost children help him find ores. The efficiency is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, so it shouldn't be too difficult to earn points.

"There's no rush to mine now. The situation is not clear yet, and the retreat has not been arranged yet!"

"Wait until you get familiar with it, then dig some more good mines, and hide them quietly in the storage bag, so that you can have the first start-up capital when you enter the world of immortal cultivation in the future!"

Wei Hong secretly calculated in his heart.

After the three of them strolled around for a while, they roughly figured out the twists and turns in the mine. The skinny old man stopped talking nonsense and directly took out a piece of parchment and threw it over.

There were many messy routes drawn on it!

Wei Hong and Nie Sanniang were both smart people. Naturally, they saw at a glance that there was a mine they had walked through, and it was the map that the old man had accumulated for many years and revised.

"This is the situation!" The skinny old man said: "I'll give you the map I drew, take a look for yourself!"

After explaining everything, he paced and went into a narrow mine and began to work with a pickaxe.

Wei Hong looked at Nie Sanniang and asked, "What do you think?"

"This place is not too bad for our Wandu Sect!" Nie Sanniang analyzed, "Just now I saw that there are really many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mine, and there are some herbs on the edge of the underground river. If you mix them, you may be able to make some suitable poisons."

"Yeah!"

Wei Hong nodded in agreement.

As expected of the poison master of Wandu Sect, he always thinks about whether he can get better and more poisons every time he goes to a place to ensure his combat effectiveness.

In places like Shenjianyuan, poisons can actually be obtained through channels, but detoxification pills are not easy to get, so the deterrence of poison masters is stronger than imagined.

Five poison masters in the refining realm came to Wandu Sect on this trip!

Their deterrence is stronger than that of dozens of martial artists of the same level!

Therefore, if Nie Sanniang finds a stable source of poison, then Wandu Sect may really be able to win over a group of people and form a stable small group that will not be bullied.

In this way, Wei Hong can also benefit from it!

It also saves him from having to look for a reliable small group to join!

"I plan to find a few safe places to set up a retreat. If we really fight, it's not good to rush around in the mine!" Wei Hong said in a deep voice.

"Not bad!"

Nie Sanniang also nodded slightly in agreement.

The two of them tacitly did not go together, but turned into a passage and slowly began to explore the surroundings.

Most warriors have sharp eyes and ears and strong memory. They can probably remember the road they have walked once. Therefore, the two of them were not worried about getting lost, but started to walk deeper.

Wei Hong walked around the mine alone.

From time to time, there were clanging sounds coming from the mines, and occasionally some people were guarding the entrances of the mines to prevent outsiders from approaching. Obviously, it was the rich mine occupied by a small group in the legend.

Meeting people in the mines is not a happy thing.

Whether it was a lone miner or a small group mining, Wei Hong was extremely vigilant, and tried his best to express that he had no hostility and then left in a hurry.

"The map given by Senior Jue Hu Shou Fan is too simple and not very useful!" Wei Hong frowned and murmured: "It seems that I need to spend more time to walk through all the terrain first!"

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood!

Wei Hong is still clear about this truth!

He slapped the deerskin pocket at his waist, and nine ghost children immediately jumped out from the locust tree puppets. They climbed around the walls of the mine excitedly, and the temperature around them dropped a lot.

"Go!"

Wei Hong waved his hand!

They immediately rushed into the mine tunnels to explore the way.

He only needed to follow behind them. Any danger ahead would be difficult to escape the detection of the nine ghost children.
