Chapter 2 Choosing a Person
Xiao Wen would never accept the idea of mining for ten years to collect enough shares before regaining his freedom. In that case, he felt that his life would probably be over.
It was his first time to venture out. Like all other young people, he originally wanted to show off his talents in the fairy world. It is a good thing for young people to receive more training, but if he is to be a mining slave for ten years, his life will be inevitable.
A very heavy gray mark will be left on him. At that time, even if he regains his freedom, will he still have the energy?
If a cultivator's heart is dead, the path of cultivating immortality will come to an end.
So, be sure to leave this damn place as soon as possible!
Every day, in addition to working, most of his energy is spent on planning his escape and encouraging himself.
Even if there seems to be no hope for the time being, he must at least ensure that his fighting spirit remains!
Unknowingly, Xiao Wen had dug enough for one day and even more. Now that he had experience, he could make an estimate with just one glance. Under the cover of wiping his sweat, he scanned both sides of the mine tunnel.
After a quick glance, he noticed that there was no patrol supervisor, so he immediately slowed down.
The fluorescence on the ore hoe is already too weak to be detected, and there is no effect at all when the hoe is applied. However, on another level, Xiao Wen's actions are very effective!
He is recovering his strength!
The cultivation system of the Tianji Immortal Realm is already very complete, and the theoretical aspect is much higher than the practice. To become an immortal, specifically, there are three parts to cultivate, namely the physical body, the Tao body and the soul. The Tao body refers to the human being.
Dao foundation and Dao power are the most fundamental differences between immortal cultivators and ordinary people.
Xiao Wen's recovery of Tao power at this time is the cultivation of Tao body.
The time is short and the tasks are heavy. Xiao Wen doesn't dare to expect to improve his cultivation level, but he must at least stabilize his Dao foundation and maintain his current state. Moreover, he is a very energetic person. As long as he changes to a better environment,
You can improve your cultivation level again right away; instead of just maintaining it, you have to cultivate for a year and a half before you can improve it after changing to a better environment.
The Daoji Immortal Technique he practiced is the Xuanqing Liujin Technique that is relatively popular among the Qi Dao practitioners. It is not the top Dao Ji Immortal Technique, but at least it is not bad. It belongs to the upper-middle level among the Qi Dao minor immortals in the Tianji Immortal World.
It's a good thing that he practiced Taoist Immortal Technique at the level of Xuanqing Metal Flowing Technique. If he changed it to a lower level one, he would not be able to stabilize his current state under the circumstances of high-intensity labor and little time to recover.
Just observing, planning, working, and practicing secretly, another month passed in the blink of an eye. After all, the one-eared supervisor named Zhang Hu never caused trouble to Xiao Wen again. But on the other hand, Xiao Wen still had only one idea about escape.
A very dangerous old method.
This morning, while the mine slaves were busy, the sound of gongs suddenly came from the main mine tunnel.
Xiao Wen immediately stopped, picked up the mining basket and hoe, and hurried towards the main mine tunnel. The other mining slaves did the same.
After entering the main mine tunnel, there were more mine slaves. Xiao Wen immediately whispered to a dark, thin, middle-aged mine slave next to him: "Do you know why we are gathering?"
"I heard that the mine owner is here."
The mine usually does not allow the slaves to communicate in private. After the dark and thin middle-aged slave said in a low voice, he quickly walked away. Apparently he was afraid that if Xiao Wen talked to him again, he would be ruined if the supervisor saw him.
In fact, he could have simply not answered, but the miners in the mine were not on good terms with each other. Bullying happened from time to time. Although he was obviously timid, he still replied because he was afraid that Xiao Wen would hold a grudge.
Xiao Wen smiled helplessly, and then he stopped thinking about it and walked forward with the crowd.
In this world, probably only people in his hometown would know that he is actually just a strong, introverted guy, and has never been a bad person. Moreover, his original appearance is even a bit frail, and he actually only has four flesh on his body.
Trained over the course of months.
It has to be said that in the four months since he became a mine slave, his physical health has improved a lot. But this is just because he is young. For an older person, he is thankful that he is not tired or sick.
Soon Xiao Wen followed the main mine tunnel and entered a large steamed bun-shaped mine. At this time, more than two hundred mining slaves and twenty or thirty supervisors had gathered in the mine.
There are a total of three passages in the mine. One is the one Xiao Wen came out of, right behind him, the other two are on the left, and the other is in front of Xiao Wen's right. After arriving here, Xiao Wen couldn't help it no matter what.
The yearning in his heart, when no supervisor was paying attention to him, he glanced at the mine tunnel to the right again and again, because the exit of the mine was at the end of that mine tunnel!
There were only a few people like Xiao Wen who looked over there intentionally or unintentionally, but most of the mining slaves were used to the elusiveness of the mine tunnel and had long since given up.
As he watched, Xiao Wen saw several people flying in from there.
Flying has always been an important boundary in the Tianji Immortal World. It is basically impossible for practitioners of weapons, talismans, elixirs, tactics, formations, beasts, and the Seven Paths of the Underworld to reach the realm of high-level immortals except for the beast path.
There are means of flying in the air.
Therefore, it can basically be confirmed at this time that the people who come in from the entrance mine tunnel are at the lowest level of high-level immortals, which is one level higher than the supervisors!
At this time, everyone looked over there. At the same time, every mine slave could actually confirm that one of the few people who flew in was not a high-level immortal.
The only exception was the fair-skinned middle-aged man flying at the front. He had a big black mole above the left corner of his mouth on his rich face, which made him look a bit sinister. This man's surname was Qian Fu, and he ran a pawn shop.
He was born in a black mine, but now he is the real master of this black mine! Moreover, he is not a little fairy, but a real fairy! Whenever he comes to the mine, he is the well-deserved number one expert in the mine!
Many mine slaves hate and fear Qian Fu, but on the surface they are all the same, that is, they dare not look directly and only dare to peek. Due to the special nature of the Tianji Immortal Realm, the True Immortal is already in an incredible realm.
What's more, this Qian Fu has always been known for his evil and no bottom line!
Qian Fu flew directly to the only high platform in the mine with a group of high-level immortals. When he got there, he made a light gesture with his right hand. The green light under his feet disappeared into nothing, and he landed lightly.
On the high platform. Those high-level immortals landed directly under the high platform, and stood there with arrogant expressions.
"Boss, everyone is here." A supervisor came under the high platform and reported respectfully to Qian Fu.
Qian Fu waved his hand to ask the supervisor to leave, and then looked around the whole place. Until all the supervisors and mine slaves were silent, he twitched the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, and the two long hairs on his mole also twitched.
Raised.
Then, Qian Fu spoke in a gentle tone like a generous elder: "We have worked hard during this period. Today I have something to announce. The two mining tunnels of our mine have been almost mined.
And a group of new people will come soon, so it is imperative to open a new mine tunnel. As we all know, opening a new mine tunnel is much more tiring than working in an old mine tunnel, and inexperienced novices cannot do it at all. So what?
, I decided to select a group of young and powerful ones from among you to open a new mine tunnel. The rest time will remain the same as before, but the food will be sufficient and there will be meat every meal."
Having a full meal and meat every meal is a completely normal treatment for ordinary junior immortals outside. At this time, Qian Fu said it on the high platform, and suddenly countless people swallowed their saliva.
The mine slaves were imprisoned in the black mines and lived a completely isolated life. They no longer dared to hope for glory and wealth. Being able to eat well and sleep well was the most practical thing. For them, Qian Fu's words
It's really very attractive.
At this moment, Qian Fu's tone suddenly turned cold and he said coldly: "But let's start with the ugly talk. Since we are opening a new mine tunnel and starting from scratch, it will definitely be messier than the old mine tunnel. It's best for everyone to
Put your heart back in your stomach and don't play any tricks. If someone really wants to run away without saying a word, after catching him, during this special period, I will only severely punish him to serve as a warning to others!"
Xiao Wen couldn't help but feel shocked, not because he was afraid, but because he heard keenly that Qian Fu was really worried about someone taking the opportunity to escape. In this way, there will indeed be a chance to escape when the new mine tunnel is opened, just look
Can you catch it?
After all the miners had digested those words, Qian Fu spoke again, and his tone became gentle again: "Please rest assured, you can gain freedom by digging 60,000 kilograms of crude ore and get 5,000 low-grade immortal stones as wages.
, this old rule of our mine will not change. The opening of a new mine this time may not bring much mining income in a short period of time, but I promise you here that as long as the new mine is completed, all participants will
All miners will receive a share of 10,000 kilograms of crude ore.”
A share of 10,000 kilograms of crude ore is equivalent to nearly two years of income. After hearing this, all the mining slaves were a little moved. After all, it only takes two or three months to open a new mine tunnel, but you can get close to two years of income in one fell swoop.
Share is undoubtedly a big step closer to regaining freedom!
Sixty thousand kilograms of crude ore equals freedom and five thousand low-grade fairy stones. This is actually the only motivation for most miners to persist. It is said that this mine, which has been open for less than ten years, has actually produced dozens of
The lucky mine slave completed his share ahead of schedule, took his wages and went out to live freely.
"Without further delay, let's start selecting people now. Anyone who is selected can enjoy the corresponding meal treatment today."
Qian Fu took care of the mine slaves with just a few words, which not only gave people a feeling of superiority, but also made people feel kind of friendly, but in fact, how could he care about the feelings of the mine slaves? It was all
It’s just a way to control people!
The high-level immortals under the high platform obviously all understood this. Seeing that the mining slaves were very helpful to Qian Fu's words, their eyes became even more disdainful towards the mining slaves.
Then, the supervisors who were familiar with the skills of the mine slaves began to select people on the spot.
"you!"
"you!"
"And you!"
…
The overseers picked through the crowd just like they were buying vegetables at the market, paying no attention to the dignity of the mine slaves. Qian Fu on the high platform saw it in their eyes, but had no intention of saying anything to stop them.
Xiao Wen saw all this, and the anger in his heart became even more intense. He secretly swore that if he escaped and ascended to heaven one day, he would definitely take revenge on Qian Fu and his men!
At this moment, a supervisor was getting closer and closer to Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wen had to cheer up, hoping that the other party would pick him.
There weren't many slaves who were young and powerful. The supervisor couldn't pick one out for a while, so he was a little anxious. Then he suddenly saw Xiao Wen through the crowd, and his eyes lit up.
Xiao Wen was nineteen years old. After four months of hard work, he had also developed a good physique. Standing bare-chested among the yellow-faced, hungry and thin mine slaves, he did seem to stand out from the crowd.
"You, follow me." The supervisor came to Xiao Wen's side and said directly.
Chapter completed!
