Chapter 72 Mine

The mines extend in all directions, and the ore settlement can be done directly in the mines.

Gu Luosheng came out carrying the mining basket, and the light gradually became brighter.

When I raised my head, the scorching summer sky hung in the sky, illuminating the front clearly and whitely.

This mine is at the center of all the major mines. There are two spiral ascending roads close to the cave walls that can lead to the ground, and there is also a simple elevator made of ropes and gears.

A steady stream of people dig out the ore, bring it to the open-pit mine for settlement, and then transport it to the surface.

The two mountain passages in the central mine are guarded by a team of soldiers.

There are five people in each team, holding big swords and ligated muscles. They look very elite.

However, these people only wore leather armor, none of them wore armor, so they were not very formal.

Also, with the strength of a village, the ability to make weapons is already the limit, and not everyone can make armor.

Other than that, there is just a set of tables and chairs, and a steward sitting on them, constantly weighing the ore.

"Xia Yi is here, get out of the way, get out of the way..."

Gu Luosheng stepped forward to line up, but the people in front got out of the way, looking fearful.

This sight made Gu Luosheng's brows jump.

He had an excellent physique in this life, and he was born in a village that focused on hunting. The folk customs can be said to be quite tough. In this environment, the young Gu Luosheng was naturally not weak at all. Even if he was only twelve years old, he could hit many people with just a few punches. Adults who were seriously injured and vomited blood gained a reputation for being vicious.

It is worth mentioning that Xia Yi is his name in this life.

His surname is Xia, he is the eldest, and his naming can be described as quite rough.

But Gu Luosheng was too lazy to care about this. Although he thought it was a bit inconspicuous, Xia Yi had lived peacefully for so long before. He couldn't have problems as soon as he came, right?

Monks may not have the personality of a sentient being, but he does.

Maybe it was because of this destiny that he didn't run into too much trouble?

Gu Luosheng stepped forward and poured out all the silver ore in the mining basket.

There are ten pieces of ore in total, only the size of a fist, and each piece is very light, weighing only a kilogram.

The steward was a middle-aged man with a serious expression, dressed more like a scholar. He took the ore in his hand, weighed it, and judged based on his feeling:

"Ten pieces of ore, nine catties and twenty taels, deduct five catties, and the remaining four catties and twenty taels are recorded in the account."

Gu Luosheng nodded, left the central mine and ran to the canteen.

Behind them, a group of people were scratching their heads. They couldn't dig out a lot of ore every day, and they had to work hard for it every day!

…

The cafeteria is rough.

They all eat from a big pot, and it’s very dirty and messy, and I don’t even have an appetite to look at it.

If you want to eat better, you can only pay a high price. Xia Yi had spent most of his money on this before.

"Just what I wanted!"

Gu Luosheng, like Xia Yi, ordered a large table of relatively clean dishes and waited for them to be served.

He himself was lost in thought.

In fact, the original mines were very cruel and bloody. They had to dig wildly for ore every day, with no time to rest at all. A large number of slaves died as a result, and the consumption rate was much faster than the replenishment rate.

At first, it was okay for people to keep adding, but then the Luoshan tribe swept away the surrounding area, and the mine immediately became unable to continue. When the situation became serious and could not be covered up, the situation became serious.

The leader and king of the Luoshan tribe was angry and beheaded the manager of the mine at that time, thinking that he was perfunctory and deliberately consumed the Luoshan tribe's property for the sake of his own ease.

After that, the management became what it is now. I only need to dig out five kilograms of ore every day, and the rest can be recorded and used as the next day's tasks.

In addition, these ores can be exchanged for elixirs for cultivation, or for food, drink and fun.

Like the Mingzhu and other special plants, the mining of silver ore is very difficult. Ordinary people have to work hard to dig out three or four pieces a day. Five kilograms is very difficult.

In order to improve efficiency, the butler taught all slaves a basic internal skill.

Internal strength is very simple. You only need to keep swinging the mining pick to practice it. There is no difficulty.

The elixirs used for cultivation are used to enhance this basic internal strength.

The higher the internal strength, the faster the mining speed.

It is a very cost-effective deal for the steward to get the ore by paying some grain.

Naturally, Xia Yi also practiced internal strength. As a genius in the village, he began to practice internal strength at the age of six, and he also redeemed these cultivation elixirs.

But unfortunately, although these pills are very effective, they come at the expense of stimulating potential. Taking them for a long time will cause the body to collapse.

As the owner of Jade Bone Mortal Body and Seventy-two Meridians Digestion Technique, Xia Yi never bought it again after eating it once.

By practicing on his own, he can easily complete daily tasks and obtain a large amount of food.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, he just wants to have fun, eat and drink well, but with his special physique, he has made rapid progress and has reached the level of a second-rate warrior.

It's a pity that there are two first-rate warriors, eighteen second-rate warriors, and ten people guarding them day and night.

Not to mention he was just a second-rate warrior, even if he became a first-rate warrior he would still be surrounded and killed.

He wanted to take revenge, so he could only endure it and wait for his internal strength to surpass that of a first-rate warrior before he could have a chance.

Xia Yi felt that this was a matter of time. He had heard from his parents since he was a child that he was the hope of the whole village. He was born with a very strong physique. As long as he reached adulthood, he could far surpass the first-class warriors.

And now that he is twelve years old, he does feel that his physical strength is growing rapidly.

If he wanted to mine grained silver ore, it wouldn't be a problem to gain dozens of kilograms a day, but now he is just hiding his weakness.

Gu Luosheng nodded repeatedly, as expected of him.

At a young age, he knew how to judge the situation and was not completely exposed.

Although he showed some strength now, the Luoshan tribe needed people to mine and could accommodate him.

If they knew that he was a second-rate warrior and was quickly moving towards a first-rate warrior, they would have probably hacked him to death.

Soon, the food was served.

A roasted chicken, a bowl of sliced ​​pork, a vegetable, and a large bucket of rice.

With complete nutrition, Gu Luosheng began to eat, and the Qi-nourishing Technique started to work immediately.

As a person who had experienced it, he could vaguely feel the location of the Lingtian Shenzang. A wisp of spiritual consciousness was drawn out by him, and the life force in his body was circulated, which quickly turned into silk internal Qi.

He had already perfected the Qi-nourishing Technique, and even if he changed to a new body, his attainment level was quickly approaching the level of great success.

He estimated that he only needed to adapt for a few days before he could fully step into the level of great success.

That is, the Qi-nourishing Technique was automatically operated day and night.

Soon Gu Luosheng finished two catties of meat and ten catties of rice. He was full, and the internal force in his body was quickly assimilated by the internal energy and transformed into seven basic internal energy.

"One catty of meat seems to be able to cultivate twenty silk internal energy. Is this the result of physical sublimation?"

Even at the peak of Gu Luosheng's previous life, one catty of meat could only cultivate six silk internal energy. Although he was constrained by his body, the more internal energy he had, the slower he cultivated.

But compared with twenty silk internal energy, it is far inferior.

At the current speed.

He eats two catties of meat and ten catties of food every meal, and can cultivate about eighty silk internal energy.

That's two hundred and forty a day, which can refine two basic internal energy.

"It seems that it won't take long for the Qi-cultivation technique to be perfected, at most three months."
