The mining of Tongyuan Stone is in the hands of several major forces. Ordinary monks have no idea that there are Tongyuan Stones above the Yunhai Plain. Even if they know, they will not get a share of the pie.
The tavern on Feitian Cliff is the gathering place for mining teams from all parties, and it is also the best starting point to enter the sky.
"Store, serve wine and meat!"
"Okay!" The Tongyuan Stone mining period is approaching. There are more and more people coming these days, and the waiters can't take care of them. The shop owner has to go out and serve the dishes.
However, looking at the people sitting in the felt tent, the shop owner was in a very happy mood, and he cut the meat happily.
The tavern is a dome-shaped felt tent with a diameter of a hundred feet. There are more than twenty short tables inside. There is a large furnace in the center, on which various monster meats are roasted. The oil and water are overflowing, and the aroma is fragrant.
"Isn't this the oak tree? It's here again this year." The shop owner put down the wine and meat and joked.
Lao Yue was obviously familiar with him and slapped him on the shoulder hard, "What's wrong? I'm bothering you? Be careful, I won't pay!"
The shop owner immediately shrunk his body, with a bitter look on his face, "Hey, I want to eat the King's meal, I'm so scared!"
"Hahaha, you're going to die like this."
The two laughed for a while, and then Lao Yue said, "I won't go up this year. I will come here to guide the juniors. They are new here. Whoever does well will take my place."
As he spoke, he pointed at the few monks around him.
Going up to the void is a dangerous thing. At least monks in the realm of life and death can go there. But being able to go does not mean it is safe. During the previous mining, Lao Querk's arm accidentally left the protection and stretched into the void. He only managed to save his life by amputation.
The shop owner glanced at the new diggers and said with a smile, "It's your first time here. I'll give you another glass of wine."
“Thank you store!”
The shop owner seemed to be a nice person, changed the topic, exchanged a few words, and went to take care of other customers.
After he walked away, a monk with a mustache said dissatisfiedly, "Everyone is given a drink. This store is a bit stingy. It's better not to give it away."
"Yeah, let me try it first. Hey, it tastes pretty good."
The new miners talked all over the place, which made Lao Yue feel helpless and had a headache. "This is a unique mistake in the Yunhai Plain. Don't know the good from the bad."
"Qianjin is the name of the wine by mistake. This wine has the effect of relieving stress. Drink a glass before going up to the void to replenish your energy. Drink another drink after entering the void, which can quickly relieve the discomfort caused by living in the void."
The novices looked stunned and said in embarrassment, "Good wine, good wine, the store is thoughtful."
Unexpectedly, a sneer came from the corner, "A stupid goose like this who doesn't know anything can do anything, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he can get up or get down."
"What are you talking about!" He slapped the table with his mustache and glared over. He saw six or seven people over there gathered around a large table. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who was squinting at them with disdain.
"The people from Wanbao Pavilion and Huangdu Pavilion are at odds again."
"Tsk, in the first few mining operations, they were the ones who grabbed the most. Let them bite each other."
"Let's see, there will definitely be a fight soon."
Lao Yue didn't even look at him. He smiled and put his mustache back on his seat, "Don't bite the mad dog, it's boring."
"Damn it, who are you calling a mad dog?" The middle-aged man from Wanbao Pavilion picked up the meat-cutting knife on the short table and threw it at Lao Yue's head with a whoosh, roaring through the air, with full force!
Lao Querk gathered the energy in his palm and slapped the knife down, staring at him coldly, "Soda, don't push yourself too far!"
The guests in the tavern watched the show secretly and openly, and even the owner turned a blind eye. For them, this kind of thing was too common, and they could say anything as long as it didn't implicate themselves.
The atmosphere between the two people was like a tight string for a moment, as if it could break apart in just one breath. But at this moment, the thin door panel of the tavern opened, the heavy curtain was lifted, and a soft and cold voice said,
"Store, do you still have a seat?"
The atmosphere was suddenly interrupted, and all the miners looked towards the door.
The visitor was wearing a long-sleeved white robe, noble and calm. When he saw her looking around, it seemed that she couldn't find a suitable space, so he slowly walked over and sat next to the big stove, and wiped off the dust on the countertop very carefully.
This person completely ignored the two parties confronting each other and the silence in the room. I don't know whether he was lacking in strength or was calm and contented.
Except for miners, anyone who enters this place will be treated as an intruder. Just as the shop owner was about to step forward to remind her that no outsiders were accepted here, he saw the red ribbon casually tied on the white jade belt around her waist. He immediately changed his words.
It became "what can guests eat?"
Zhan Changfeng rolled up his sleeves, revealing the white fox who ran out after smelling the fragrance of flowers and wine, "What kind of wine do you have here?"
"That's a lot." The shop owner reported seven or eight kinds at once.
"Here them all, and add three ounces of dragon meat."
"Okay, eight thousand middle-grade spiritual stones." The shop owner broke the stiff atmosphere and put the eight jars of wine in her hand with a smile, and then brought an empty plate to cut the meat.
The big hearth in the middle is like a hollow cylinder, with various meats roasted inside. The outer ring is one foot high and two feet wide. People can use it as a table and sit next to it to eat. There are already more than ten people gathered around it.
?.
The shop owner leaned towards the floor stove, picked a roasted earth dragon, skillfully cut a large piece of meat from the top with the sharp knife in his hand, then put the plate in front of her, "Use it slowly."
Zhan Changfeng nodded and poured a glass of wine for the white fox. The white fox scratched the edge of the table and reached for another jar of wine with his paws. She read the name of the wine and said, "Qianjin Wan, you chose the most expensive one."
of."
Qianjincuo is made from a high-grade spiritual flower called Qianye Yunlian, which retains its spirituality and efficacy to the greatest extent, and white foxes naturally like it.
The sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked Soda pouted, not knowing who he was talking to. But the atmosphere relaxed a bit.
At this time, Lao Yue said loudly: "Wanbao Pavilion, this year's competition follows the old rules!"
"What the hell do you want to say?" Soda sat down, glared at them, and then turned to explain to his family.
The competition they were talking about was an unwritten little fight between the two parties.
Among the several major mining forces, they are the strongest, so they often compare with each other and compete with each other. Over time, they come to an agreement that whoever explores farther in the void can get priority in the next mining operation.
According to the distribution trend of the Source Stone, the farther away you go, the higher the amount. The only thing you have to worry about is whether you can survive deep into the void.
Zhan Changfeng listened to the discussions around him, carefully cut the meat on the plate into equal pieces, and pushed the plate to the little fox's mouth with his fingers.
"Who is your Excellency?" Lao Yue came over and stared at the red ribbon on her body for a few times.
Huangdu Pavilion is a big industry on the surface of the Yitian clan, so the mining team that Lao Yue is on actually belongs to Yitian.
"Don't worry about me, just help me enter the void."
Lao Li couldn't figure out her cultivation level, but her physical restraint couldn't be faked. This person must be stronger than him. After receiving her response, she nodded in agreement, and really didn't want to get to the bottom of it anymore.
