The two immediately began to discuss a plan of action. They knew that even if there were higher-level immortal cultivators here, they would generally not be higher than them.
But the two knew that "beating the son will bring about the father". In order to avoid future troubles, they decided to go deep into the mine first, and then wait for an opportunity to steal their warehouse, trying not to disturb them as much as possible.
Since Xing Kui did not have a "magic mask" and it was difficult to sneak in, the two discussed the result. Gongsun Yan was responsible for sneaking in, and Xing Kui was responsible for responding. The two immediately lurked nearby, waiting for opportunities to act.
As night fell, another team of thousands of people came out of the mine. They looked exhausted. The team was escorted by two other immortal cultivators.
Gongsun Yan was secretly shocked. There were at least four Qi-training realm immortal cultivators here, and there were obviously even higher-level immortal cultivators sitting here. Fortunately, the two of them were cautious and did not launch any mental exploration, in case a powerful Guixu realm appeared.
Or, it is easy to be exposed.
Seemingly thinking of something, Gongsun Yan sent a message to Xing Kui and asked:
"Brother Xing, the group of people who came out are not the group of people who went in in the morning. Are the people who went in in the morning here to replace them?"
"It's possible. This group of people looks very tired. They must have been mining here for a long time." Xing Kui also sent a message.
"Why do they all look like disciples of the Geshan Sect? They don't look like the captured miners. Could it be that they used the Geshan Sect's disciples to mine the mines themselves?" Gongsun Yan was puzzled.
"Well, this is not unusual in the Divine Continent. In our area, many small sects are 'enslaved' by large sects to mine. Some small sects are even willing to be 'enslaved' by large sects for some training resources.
, take the initiative to apply for mining.”
Xing Kui explained.
"Brother Xing means that the Geshan sect has been 'enslaved'?" Gongsun Yan asked in surprise.
"Well! Looking at the situation in front of us, they have lost their freedom." Xing Kui replied affirmatively.
"Then why didn't the Geshan sect recruit people from outside to mine for them in the first place? Why do they have to do such a thankless job?" Gongsun Yan was still a little puzzled.
"Brother Gongsun, if you mobilized a large number of people to arrest people outside to mine, wouldn't it have been exposed long ago? Those cultivators who control them will never allow this! Moreover, the captured people have limited physical strength, why would the Immortal family leave them ready-made?
The strong labor force is not used, but the nearby is sought far away, and the mine site is easily exposed. In short, enslaving small sects to mine has various benefits."
Xing Kui explained patiently.
Only then did Gongsun Yan suddenly realize why the Geshan Sect had never come forward during the turmoil in Huachen Kingdom in the past two years. It turned out that they were "enslaved" by others and were mining here.
He couldn't help but feel sad for the Geshan Sect. Warriors in the mortal world were looked down upon by the world of immortals!
Taking advantage of the confusion during their shift change, Gongsun Yan quietly sneaked in and went deep into the mine.
He waited for an opportunity to knock out a Geshan disciple, read his memory, and gave him "Long-lasting Incense Powder". After performing a pulse-cutting technique, he threw him into an abandoned mine, and then took out the "Magic Magic Powder".
Mask", transformed into his appearance, ready to start "mining".
By reading the memory, Gongsun Yan knew that "he" was now called Zheng Zhaohui, and he was an outer disciple. He had returned to the sect for a month's vacation and had just come to change his mining shift this morning.
Gongsun Yan discovered that the Geshan Sect had been forced to mine here two years ago. This mine was also the first discovered by the Geshan Sect's disciples. They initially found that there were many shiny "stones" here, but they didn't know what they were used for.
I picked up some and submitted the report to the sect.
However, no one in the upper echelons of Geshan Sect recognized this object. At this time, an elder suggested that it be sent to Xianwu Palace for identification.
The Geshan Sect has been in close contact with the Xianwu Palace since its founding. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as the branch of the Xianwu Palace in the Huachen Kingdom. This is why the Geshan Sect can dominate the Qing Dynasty in the Huachen Kingdom.
The reason why Yue Zong has one head.
The Xianwu Palace also has its roots in the Shenzhou Continent. It is called the Xianwu Palace. Like the Qingqiu Palace, they also have immortal cultivators who live in seclusion in the palace to select outstanding disciples for the sects in the Shenzhou Continent.
When the head of the Geshan Sect sent someone to deliver the "stone", the palace master Wu Chuanba couldn't recognize what it was, so he took it to the immortal cultivator himself. After he saw it, he went to investigate on the spot in person.
There was a later mine, but how would anyone know all the details?
At this moment, Gongsun Yan has gone deep into the mine. The underground mine is as complicated as a spider web and has no bottom. If a newcomer comes here, if he gets lost, he will be lost forever.
In this underground mine, there are actually nearly 10,000 Geshan Sect disciples mining at the same time.
These disciples can only take turns to take a break for one month at a time after completing the prescribed targets. However, if they want to complete the target, they must mine for at least half a year.
Most of the people in the mine are outer sect disciples, but there are also a small number of inner sect core disciples, who are responsible for managing the "miners" and collecting ore. They put the ore in a temporary storage point, and then the immortal cultivators take it out of the mine.
Zheng Zhaohui is the lowest-level "miner". According to his "memory", he came to his work station in the pit and started mining seriously.
There is a tool warehouse at the entrance of each pit, which contains wooden shovels, wooden rakes, wooden mallets, iron picks, copper axes, copper adzes, copper hobs and other digging tools. When mining, pickaxes, planers, shovels, files and other methods are used.
Dig out the ore.
In order to improve mining efficiency, three people usually work together, but for particularly capable "miners", they are allowed to mine alone. As long as they complete the quota, they can take leave in advance.
Zheng Zhaohui is a highly capable "miner" who can mine alone and freely choose where to mine.
Gongsun Yan took advantage of this status and looked around underground. He found that most of these Yuan stones were low-grade Yuan stones, and there were also a small number of medium-grade Yuan stones, but high-grade Yuan stones were rare, at least Zheng Zhaohui's "memory"
Haven't found it yet.
Gongsun Yan stayed underground for two days and basically figured out the situation below.
The rest time of the miners is to dig for a day and night, and rest for a day and night. Each time, the ores dug by each are collected into a huge, empty mine. There are inner disciples who keep accounts. At the end of every day, a cultivator unifies
Bring it out of the mine into the ring.
After learning about this situation, Gongsun Yan was a little embarrassed for a while. In these temporary storage points, at most, less than a million low-grade Yuan Stones were piled every day, which was equivalent to a hundred high-grade Yuan Stones. It was obviously not worth it to spend such a small amount of resources, not to mention that there were still people.
Special care.
Even if they took away all the harvest they had gained from mining for a hundred days, it would only be equivalent to 10,000 high-grade Yuan stones, and he still felt it was not worthwhile.
Moreover, if you really want to rob them of their harvest of more than a hundred days, you will definitely have to take action against the immortal cultivators here. In this case, Gongsun Yan and the others' identities will be exposed sooner or later, and the gains outweigh the losses.
