A month passed quickly again.

With the help of magic weapons and good luck, Wang Ping actually harvested 138 kilograms of "Xuanjin Iron" spiritual ore this month, which can be said to have exceeded the mining task.

But the others obviously do not have the good luck and strength of him.

A month passed, and there were less than ten cultivators who could take out 120 kilograms of spiritual ore like him. Most of them still had to use the spiritual ore they had secretly stored before to collect enough.

So the day before handing over the spirit ore, after a party, the cultivators unanimously decided to hand over only one hundred kilograms of spirit ore.

On the second day, as the monks handed over the spirit mines one by one, the old man in the Li family who was supervising the side suddenly narrowed his eyes into a straight line.

After the last monk handed over the spirit mine, he swept around everyone in a cold look and said in a stern tone: "Are you all going to gather people to resist the Dharma? Is it because I think the Dharma does not blame the masses, and my Li family dare not take down all of you to punish you?"

silence.

All the monks arrested as mine slaves were silent and no one responded to the words of the old man in the Li family.

Since they chose this way of fighting, they were ready in their hearts.

Faced with this silent struggle, the old man in the Li family's eyes flashed and then said calmly: "Let's do this, I will give you another night to consider. After tonight, if anyone makes up for 120 kilograms of spiritual ore, I can think that nothing happened."

After saying that, he said with temptation: "And I can promise here that as long as I pay the full amount of spiritual mines on time every month, I can not only get a day's rest opportunity on the ground, but my Li family will also arrange some mortal women for you to have fun and enjoy, and there will be no mistreatment for food!"

What is this?

Do you have sweet dates and sticks?

But these sweet dates are a bit too small!

Wang Ping was not interested in the tempting words of the old man in the Li family, and he had no intention at all.

After returning to the mine, the cultivators also vowed to express their uncompromisingness that they would not compromise and would fight to the end.

But on the second day, when the cultivators gathered in the open space outside again, they found that there were a few people missing in the team.

"These traitors!"

The old man in gray surnamed Zhou couldn't help but curse, as if he had guessed where those people had gone.

Sure enough, after the old man from the Li family appeared, he quickly sneered and looked at the cultivators and said, "You have given the opportunity. Since you don't want toast or eat the punishment, then you can get the punishment together!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Each person has twenty whips, beat me to death!"

Suddenly, five or six Li family monks came over with whips in their hands, and pulled people over and whipped them one by one.

Because there are monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage here, and there are many monks arranged by the Li family here, the monks who were arrested as mine slaves did not dare to resist this, and could only grit their teeth and receive twenty whips, and Wang Ping was no exception.

After these twenty whips, everyone was covered with skin injuries. This time, the Li family did not even get any ordinary injury medicine. It was obvious that the cultivators wanted to remember this lesson.

"Those bastards dare to betray everyone. I'll wait for them to come back here and let them taste the pain of being hurt!"

After returning to the mine, the old man in gray-clothed by Zhou, who was covered in wounds, immediately gritted his teeth and made an offer.

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone immediately received a response.

They were all monks who were arrested as mine slaves, so why did they have to be whipped? Those "traitors" could eat and drink well outside, and there were women to have fun!

Facing such bastards who betray the collective, how can they eliminate their hatred if they don’t beat them up? How can they be worthy of the twenty whips they were hit?

But Wang Ping was not involved.

After this incident, he saw the situation clearly and deeply understood the meaning of the word "dispersed cultivator".

The so-called casual cultivator not only refers to monks without a master or backer background, but also means a mess of loose sand.

Most casual cultivators are extremely selfish people, and they have no idea of ​​collective interests at all, nor do they have the idea of ​​sharing wealth and hardships.

So after this incident, Wang Ping no longer puts his hope of escaping here on other monks.

With his injuries, he walked into the branch mine track he dug out, and then blocked the road with stones and hanged the bell.

In this way, even if other people want to enter the mine, they will alarm him when pushing the stone open and warn him in advance.

In fact, he is not the only one who does this. In order to prevent him from being attacked while mining and resting, the miners who mine in the mine will basically do this.

Especially now, as the Li family increases the number of spiritual ore that has to be paid every month, it will be difficult for the mine slaves and monks in the mine cave to live in peace as before.

Wang Ping had made up his mind that he would no longer go out to meet other monks less than the day before paying the spirit mine every month. For this reason, he even received more than a month of dried meat and water at one time as a cover-up.

He wants to mine with all his might and dig out a passage to the outside world as soon as possible!

Once a person has a goal, he will not care much about the passage of time.

In a blink of an eye, it has been a year since Wang Ping was arrested as a mine slave.

When he first came a year ago, there were only more than 40 immortal cultivators who were arrested as mine slaves in the mine cave, but a year later, there were more than 80!

And just over three months ago, what Wang Ping expected happened.

That month, three mine slave monks lost their lives directly in the underground mine cave, and the spirit mine they dug was also robbed by the murderer.

In the following three months, although the other monks were more vigilant, four more people were killed one after another.

The Li family was also quite angry about this, so they arranged for two monks to go to the mine to stay in a permanent position to monitor the occurrence of such incidents. At the same time, they also distributed bells, whistles and other items to various monks to help them become alert and ask for help from the garrison monks.

However, Wang Ping could see from the behavior of the two Li family monks not moving their positions after they got down to the mine, and the Li family was just doing it.

It is estimated that they themselves understand how difficult it is to complete the task of 120 kilograms of spiritual ore per month. In this case, it is impossible to completely prevent the mine slave monks from looting each other.

Wang Ping could see these, and naturally many other monks could see them too.

Therefore, every monk is now very nervous and dares not sleep too hard when he sleeps. He has to set up layers of alert when he sleeps.

But on the other hand, because the mining task is too difficult to complete, the number of monks who are willing to take out real good things to exchange for spiritual mines at the exchange meeting at the end of each month has increased significantly.

During this period, Wang Ping found the young man in blue clothes, and used only eight kilograms of spirit ore to exchange his spell that allows people to breathe and walk freely underwater.

This spell, called "Spiritual Water Avoidance Spell", is somewhat similar to the first-level top-level spell "Spirit of Water Avoidance Spell". In fact, it is a spell modified by a senior monk based on the "Spirit of Water".

The "Water Avoidance Mantra" can only form a shield for cultivators to breathe underwater and isolate water, but it will greatly affect the cultivators' ability to move underwater.

The "Lingming Water Avoidance Mantra" compensates for the shortcomings of the "Water Avoidance Mantra", making the cultivators much more flexible in their movements underwater.

In addition to this "Spiritual Ming Water Avoidance Curse", Wang Ping also used the spirit ore to exchange a lot of other useful knowledge, and had a more detailed understanding of the overall situation of the Seven Dragon Sea Immortal Cultivation World.

At the same time, after this year of excavation, the branch mine tunnel excavated by Wang Ping has reached more than 400 meters in depth. According to his estimate, it should have almost extended outside the valley.

But this is not enough. According to the information Wang Ping found out, the range of spiritual consciousness released by the foundation-building cultivators is at least three hundred feet higher, and it is not uncommon to reach a thousand feet.

This means that he must dig out a tunnel that is more than a thousand feet long to ensure that after he goes out, he will not be discovered by the Li family's foundation-building cultivator immediately.

However, the plan is not as fast as the change. When Wang Ping thought he had to stay in the mine for at least two years before he could escape, an unexpected occurrence directly changed his plan.
