Meng Ping waved his sleeves, and more than twenty long, flat hoe instruments fell to the ground.

He said slowly: "This object is a mining hoe. Although it is a low-grade magic weapon, it has a unique structure and is more suitable for mining ore than ordinary high-grade magic tools."

"Each of you take a handful and start working immediately."

"Meng Gui, take them there!"

After saying that, Meng Ping bowed to the third elder and left in a hurry.

On weekdays, he has to cooperate with three other peak qi-training monks to preside over the basic operation of the Seven Color Rainbow Formation, and cannot leave the center of the formation for too long.

The number of mining hoes is just right, and they are all the same custom-made magic weapons, so everyone has nothing to choose from.

Soon, everyone had a brown hoe in their hands.

"Third Elder, this junior will take them in first."

Meng Gui said respectfully.

Many miners following him also bowed their heads and said goodbye involuntarily.

This is the majesty of high-level monks.

Even a moment ago, Meng Lingqiu killed one of them without blinking an eye.

"Follow me closely. The inside of the mine is complicated and it's easy to get lost."

Meng Gui said coldly and stepped forward to enter the mine first.

The cave was so quiet and eerie that you couldn't even see your fingers.

"Tick-tick-tick"

A gust of wind blew, and I could only hear water dripping from the convex corners of the rocks above.

Fortunately, here are all practitioners with spiritual power, so the darkness and cold do not affect the team's progress.

After walking for about five miles, the passage became narrower and narrower, and there were more and more forks between them.

After everyone turned a big corner, their eyes suddenly lit up, and a brightly lit spacious platform came into view.

This platform has a radius of fifty feet, and eight luminous pearl trays standing in the corners emit a soft halo.

There were several futons placed in the center, and two monks with solemn expressions were standing aside, staring at this side.

"Hey! This batch has actually recruited more than twenty people. It seems that you can get another reward, brother. You can treat me to a nice meal of immortal food when you get back."

The speaker was an ugly monk wearing a khaki coat. He seemed to be familiar with Meng Gui, and he spoke very casually.

Meng Gui smiled and scolded and replied: "Meng Yan, you have been practicing immortality for decades, why can't you control your mouth?"

"Why should I care? I am miserable on the path to immortality, and only good food and strong drinks can relieve my worries."

Meng Yan retorted seriously.

Rolling his eyes at him, Meng Gui turned around, pointed at the hunchbacked middle-aged monk next to Meng Yan and said, "This is Taoist Fellow Yu Mei Changyu. The three of us are the supervisors here and are responsible for all the affairs here."

"You need to come to the platform every thirty days and hand over your share. I advise you to put aside the idea of ​​hiding your personal secrets. The third elder has a lot of trouble in his eyes. You have seen it before."

"In addition, the first day of every month is the day when Bigu Pills are distributed, so don't forget it."

Chen Ping quietly released his consciousness and looked at the three supervisors.

He discovered that Meng Yan and Meng Gui were both at the seventh level of Qi training.

Yu Meichang's realm is the highest, reaching the eighth level of Qi training.

His surname is Yu, and he is also the supervisor of the mine. It is easy to guess his origin.

The Yu family on Mingyuan Island currently has three foundation-building monks alive, and they have been at odds with the Chen family for many years.

"Brother Gui, did you explain the rules of the mine to them on the way?"

Meng Yan interrupted him and said with a smile.

The three supervisors looked at each other without revealing any trace, and finally Yu Meichang said: "Yu reminds you that killing is prohibited in the mine. If someone dies, my Yu family and Meng family will pursue it to the end!"

Chen Ping's eyelids shrank when he heard this. Yu Meichang's words were very meaningful!

Only those who die will be held accountable. If no one is killed, but only some injuries or some property is taken, they will probably acquiesce.

Even the two families are happy to see success.

If you turn in five hundred kilograms of copper crystals every month, you can get seven spiritual stones, and every additional hundred kilograms is equivalent to one spiritual stone.

If the share is insufficient, the monthly salary will be deducted. Xixi Tianlai Novel Xiuxun

If half of the people don't pay enough, the salary saved every year is not a small amount.

Most people who cultivate immortality have quick minds. After a short period of thinking, everyone understood the risks and opportunities involved.

After a while, a dozen newly recruited miners slowly approached and hugged each other tacitly.

Only a few monks who believed in their abilities were left alone, disdainful of being in the company of others.

Chen Ping is naturally one of them.

What surprised him was that Ye Mofan, who was more than ten feet away from him and only had the fifth level of Qi training, did not join the gang.

"This is the mine map and the Night Pearl. Each person will receive one copy."

After Meng Yan handed it out, he pointed at the top area on the right side of the map and said sternly: "This area painted in black is forbidden to enter. Anyone who comes within one mile will be killed without mercy!"

"Two months ago, a fellow Taoist sneaked in secretly without listening to the advice. His body is still hanging there. Those who do not believe in evil can go and pay their respects!"

Meng Yan warned with a hint of thorn in his words.

Everyone was frightened and kept saying yes. They came to Tengshan Island to earn spiritual stones, and no one wanted to cause trouble.

"Presumably this is the reason why the Meng family's recruitment is abnormal this time."

Chen Ping secretly glanced at the map. There was indeed an area marked with black ink in the northeast corner, which accounted for about 10% of the entire mine.

It is worth noting that after hearing Meng Yan's words, the handsome young man Ye Mofan inadvertently flashed a hint of joy in his eyes, which he quickly covered up.

"Huh? This kid seems to have guessed something."

Chen Ping's consciousness had been lurking outside, and he easily caught the changes in Ye Mofan's expression, and secretly kept a careful eye on him.

After the explanation of the matter was over, Meng Gui and the other three supervisors stopped talking to everyone, and each sat back on the futon and closed their eyes to rest.

"Fellow Daoist Xing is planning to form a team and will only accept our group of new miners. Friend Daoist, are you willing to join?"

Nie Qian walked over slowly and asked Chen Ping for advice.

"This mine has been mined for several years, and the old miners must have formed a team. Although my Taoist friends are outstanding in cultivation, they are difficult to defeat with four hands. It would be bad if several old miners join forces."

Seeing Chen Ping's lack of response, Nie Qian added in a soft voice.

Chen Ping glanced sideways at the monk surnamed Xing, who also bowed his hand to him from a distance, with a hint of arrogance.

There were twenty-three new miners among them. One of them was strangled to death by Meng Lingqiu, leaving twenty-two others.

On the surface, this monk surnamed Xing is the strongest and the only one among them who is at the seventh level of Qi training.

Moreover, the few monks at the sixth level of Qi training also joined the team of monks named Xing.

Currently, the only ones who are still alone are him, Ye Mofan, and a young monk carrying a long stick.

Facing Nie Qian's invitation, Chen Ping ignored it, quickly put away the map and other items, and silently ran towards the depths of the mine.

"you!"

Nie Qian raised her eyebrows and snorted angrily: "What a shame! According to the marks on the map, there are more than one kind of social monsters living in the mine. Don't regret it if you encounter them!"

"Fellow Daoist Nie, there's no need to get angry with such an arrogant person. Let's set the team's rules first!"

The monk surnamed Xing said calmly, showing a hint of ridicule in the direction Chen Ping left.

He has already won over most of the people's hearts, so it doesn't matter if he loses a guy who is at the sixth level of Qi training.

Holding the luminous pearl and comparing it with the map, Chen Ping selected some remote and narrow branching passages to enter.

Along the way, he met several groups of monks who were mining at first, but with his deliberate avoidance, there was no drama of robbing the road and seizing wealth.

An hour later, Chen Ping finally arrived at the edge of the mineral vein.

As the veins extend to this point, the copper crystals in the four-sided rock walls have gradually decreased, and they are all scattered pieces.

This place is only a few miles away from the isolation mask of the Seven Color Rainbow Formation.

Chen Ping stopped moving forward, summoned his green-patterned sword, and gathered his spiritual power to slash it hard against the rock wall.

"Boom"

A large piece of gray rock was chipped away, revealing a hole large enough for several people to sit side by side.

Chen Ping jumped in with a leap.

"It seems that we must practice the Demonic Blood Explosion Technique and the Demonic Escape Shadow Step."

Chen Ping frowned and made a decision after thinking about it.

Mo Luo's Blood Explosion Technique, Mo Luo's Escape Shadow Step, and the Spider Web Blood Seal he used to control Xue Yun are all among the three forbidden curses of Mo Luo.

The origin of the Three Forbidden Demonic Spells is extraordinary. It was the sect-controlling secret technique of a top-notch golden elixir demon sect tens of thousands of years ago.

The Three Forbidden Curses of Mo Luo belong to the upper level of Xuanpin. In terms of magic, they are not inferior to the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Art. Each of them is unparalleled and has its own magical effects.

Mo Luo's Blood Explosion Technique uses a secret method to detonate the essence, blood and life essence in the monk's body, thereby quickly gaining strength beyond his own.

Mo Luo's Shadow Escape Step consumes the monk's essence and blood, turning it into a void demon shadow, and can escape hundreds of miles.

When you reach the state of Dzogchen, you can even travel thousands of miles in an instant, which is beyond the reach of Jindan Master.

The spider web blood mark can plant a restriction in the bodies of monks whose cultivation level is lower than one's own.

Compared to the other two spells, they are unremarkable.

Of course, the cost of release is much smaller, it will only drain all the spiritual energy from the body.

In his previous life, Chen Ping accidentally obtained the method of practicing the Three Forbidden Curses of Mara in a secret realm.

However, it is a fragmentary copy, which only records the secrets of the first two levels, that is, the entry level and the Xiaocheng state.

Disappointed, I had to put it away in the past life and did not practice it in depth.

"Mo Luo Blood Explosion Technique, Mo Luo Escape Shadow Step."

Chen Ping reviewed the methods of practicing these two forbidden spells, with a trace of ruthlessness on his face unconsciously.

…

Twenty-seven days later.

Shaking off the dust on his shoulders, Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at his true appearance hidden under the mask, he is actually a bit older than before, and his jet-black hair is quietly mixed with a few strands of silver.

The cost of practicing the forbidden curse of Mara is extremely high.

Just opening up the special meridians will take away nearly ten years of life.

Fortunately, Chen Ping is only in his early thirties and has a long life.

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t dare to spend so much money.

Over the past few days, the Demonic Blood Explosion Technique and the Demonic Escape Shadow Step have been cultivated to the entry level respectively.

The entry-level Blood Explosion Technique requires three years of longevity and ten drops of blood essence to be burned each time it is used, which increases the Qi Practitioner's mana by 80% and lasts for half an hour.

However, after the effect wears off, it will fall into a period of weakness, and its spiritual power and spiritual consciousness will be passively blocked due to backlash, and it will be no different from ordinary people for five days.

The entry-level Shadow Escape Step costs less than Blood Explosion.

Each time you extract five drops of essence and blood, you can escape a hundred miles away in thirty breaths of time.

As long as there is sufficient energy and blood, Shadow Escape Step can be used continuously.

However, the total amount of essence and blood in a Qi Practitioner's body is usually between fifty and eighty drops.

Essence and blood are related to the longevity of monks.

If you lose too much, you will fall into unpredictable difficulties when you break through the bottleneck.

Moreover, it is not easy to replenish the essence and blood. Unless there are suitable heaven and earth spiritual objects or elixirs, it will be difficult to recover independently.嶘戅vODtw.Org戅

Therefore, whether it is Blood Explosion or Shadow Step, it should not be used easily except in desperate situations.

Chen Ping paid such a heavy price to break through the Forbidden Curse of Mo Luo just to keep a way out for himself.

The foundation-building monk Meng Lingqiu who was guarding outside the cave made him sit on pins and needles.

Moreover, there are many strange things about the Meng family's recruitment this time.

After the ore is mined out, will they really be allowed to leave?

Chen Ping calculated it dozens of times in his heart.

Once the Blood Explosion Technique is activated, with his soul and mana that are far superior to those of the same level, he can at least compete with the monks in the early stages of foundation building for five to seven breaths.

Coupled with the Shadow Escape Step and sailing towards the vast sea with the help of the spirit boat, you are half sure of escaping from the tiger's mouth.

"It's been almost a month."

Chen Ping frowned slightly, in three days it would be the day to hand in the copper crystal.

But there wasn't even a single piece of ore debris in his storage bag.

During these days, he has been immersed in practicing secret skills. As for the matter of digging copper crystals, he has long forgotten about it. Xixi Pinshu.com Xiuxi

Furthermore, he sneaked into Tengshan Island purely to destroy the enemy and seize the treasure. How could he be able to dig mines for the Meng family peacefully?

It's time to go out of seclusion and find some unlucky monks to "borrow some" copper crystals to deal with it.

Chen Ping held his chin, a sinister smile like an old devil appeared on his face.
