Fortunately, they are all civilized people, no, civilized demons. They figured things out without taking any action.
The visitor is the sect's law enforcement team. Yu Xiaozheng has an unfinished sect training mission. Moreover, this sect mission has three days to expire. If it expires, he will be punished by the sect and imprisoned for seven days.
.
Jiang Feng originally wondered why Yu Xiaozheng could not do sect tasks all the time. From what he knew, all outer and inner disciples of big sects such as Li Sect and Yufeng Sect must receive and complete them with a certain frequency.
Sect tasks. On the one hand, the sect can mobilize the power within the sect and expand its influence by issuing experience tasks. On the other hand, the disciples can be trained and receive rewards from the sect by completing experience tasks.
, improve yourself.
The Qianshan Sect also had sect training missions when they were wealthy. That was six generations ago. Jiang Feng had the intention to restart the sect training missions, but due to the sect's financial resources, this was just an unrealistic plan for the time being.
Now it is obvious that he is Yu Xiaozheng's scapegoat. He must end this "illegal procurement investigation" sect training mission as soon as possible, otherwise the seven-day confinement is not a joke. Escape? He has been targeted by Lizong's law enforcement team.
Well, it's not that easy to escape. Although the guy with his nostrils turned upward is not high in cultivation, his reporting skills are definitely top-notch.
…………
Tianmushan tailings.
Seeing the devastation and the devastation here, Jiang Feng complained deeply to Yu Xiaozheng, how could such a scammer accept such a sect training mission.
This place is two hundred miles away from the main peak of Dagushan. Tianmu Mountain is scorching hot under the scorching sun. Occasionally, hard-shelled stone scorpions jump out of the cracks in the sand and gravel, crawl through quickly, and then get into another crack. This is the only place here.
Vitality. This was originally a mine that produced purple fire copper essence, but when there was no limit on the number of takeaways, it was basically mined out. The village that was originally built on the mountain has long been abandoned, with only a few young people who are unwilling to move away.
The old demon cultivator is still stationed here.
The task prompts that there have been other sect demon cultivators here recently. It is necessary to investigate whether there is still illegal mining here and report it. Speaking of illegal mining, it is mainly because the original mining method of Lizong was simple and crude, and only mined rich veins. For poor minerals,
The veins are basically invisible. Therefore, after the sect's mining team withdrew, casual cultivators often sneaked in here secretly and illegally mined the purple fire copper essence. This not only disrupted the order of the market, but also caused hidden dangers to the safety here.
Jiang Feng looked at the bronze "talisman" hanging on his body. Although the style was simple and novel, with patterns symbolizing auspiciousness and wealth carved on the front and back, this thing was really a magic weapon to prevent theft. As long as it was hung with this
Any space fluctuation where the Purple Fire Copper Essence enters the storage bag will be detected. This object is used to prevent disciples who enter the mining area from fishing in troubled waters and enriching themselves by mining tailings after investigation.
As for what?
What about the promised trust? Jiang Feng's original "unlimited imagination" completely failed.
From the largest mine pit to the bottom, it is almost a hundred feet deep. The harsh sunlight can no longer penetrate deep. The main tunnel of the mine is not too narrow and can accommodate up to four people entering and exiting. In some wider spaces, abandoned objects are occasionally parked.
Mine carts and mine passages extend in all directions. If you don't look at the signposts on the wall, you can easily get lost. Jiang Feng doesn't have any detection skills, so naturally he can only follow the signposts. Of course, he has the official map in his hand, but
The map is no longer accurate. The mining behavior of some illegal miners has destroyed the structure here. This change becomes more obvious the deeper you go down.
There is obviously an extra passage here. Under the light of the torch, Jiang Feng looked at the map in his hand, carefully felt the direction, and marked the changes here on the map. Otherwise, he would face the dilemma of getting lost when he returned. The shiny walls of the mine
They are all Purple Fire Copper Essence with impure texture. Although the content is very low, as long as you purify it carefully, you can still get Purple Fire Copper Essence that meets the standards. However, in Li Zong's view, this kind of behavior outweighs the gains and losses. Even if it is illegally mined,
It's also about finding high-quality products from inferior mineral veins, and few people have the patience to do so.
What a waste.
It would be nice to give this kind of tailings to Asama Sect, but he can only look at it because he has an amulet on him.
Continuing deeper into the cave, the sun was out of sight, and he gradually lost the concept of time. Jiang Feng discovered a brand-new illegal excavation passage for the first time. It seems that illegal excavations are really infested here. This passage has obvious characteristics and is very narrow. It can only be used by two people.
Individuals can only move their bodies in and out, and the mining hoe marks on the walls are very new and uneven. In the corners, there are damaged pickaxes and tattered clothes, with a special moisture and choking smell.
Jiang Feng stepped back, extinguished the torch, hid around the corner, and released his shadow.
The black shadow moved left and right in the mine and entered the new passage. It didn't stop until it found a faint light in front of it. Three demon cultivators with low cultivation level were sweating like rain here, one holding a torch, and the other holding a torch.
They worked hard to excavate, one person was responsible for picking suitable mineral materials, and the three of them took turns to alternate with each other. While maintaining physical strength, the spoils would not be distributed unevenly due to different divisions of labor. All the purple fire copper essence obtained from the mining was piled aside and was not put away.
into storage bag.
"Hu Tianshu, have we dug a hundred?" The digger in front is a short and fat man, and his whole body is soaked. In order to control the intensity and prevent the mine from collapsing due to force, there is no way to use skills here, so we can only
Relying on physical strength, this is not only for looters, but also for official mining teams, but the latter do not need to be so careful. For rich ores buried shallowly, they can even use blasting skills or earth skills to directly mine the ores in a concentrated manner, which is very efficient.
.
"It should be more than that. There are one hundred and twenty now, I think." Behind him is a demon cultivator wearing a torn robe. Among the three of them, he has the highest cultivation level. He seems to be at the sixth level of spiritual level. He should be
He is the leader of the team. "Do you want to send a signal and ask Lao Han to come down and check? If you don't count him, we can call it a day. It's really tight here."
"I'm going to give the signal." said the young demon cultivator behind him. He lit another torch and handed it to the demon cultivator in ragged robes. The firelight reflected his black face covered with dust, his flat nose, and the ditches left by his sweat.
’, looking very embarrassed. He stuffed some unknown pill into his mouth, like a very large low-level Qi-rejuvenating pill. He puffed out his cheeks and chewed while saying, “Be careful when you get back to the stronghold. I think
The new lone travelers here today don’t have the right ideas, so don’t be fooled.”
"Don't worry, no one dares to break the rules when Old Han Legs is here. You hurry up and call him. If the others catch up first, twenty coins won't be enough for Old Han Legs." The short fat man put down his mining hoe and started wiping his sweat.
Ready to call it a day.
What's going on, who is Lao Hanji? And why do these demon cultivators wear the same amulets as themselves, but a little bit old? These doubts flashed in Jiang Feng's mind, hiding in the corner, and he moved his shadow back to avoid it.
The young demon cultivator who is about to come out is waiting for the arrival of the old cold leg.
After a while, a demon cultivator with weak legs and feet appeared. The one leading the way was naturally the young demon cultivator. Without saying much, the two of them went straight to the tunnel where the short fat man and the monk in the torn robe were.
"You guys are pretty good, and you were the fastest today." came the hoarse voice. This must be the old Han Legs the three of them call.
"Mr. Yan, please collect today's management fee so that we can finish the work." The short fat man said respectfully, pressing his body against the side wall of the tunnel to make enough space. Under the firelight, the small pile of purple fire
The copper spirit shines with a purple-red light, and its purity seems to be very high. It must have been carefully selected.
Without saying much, Lao Hanshan took out a shovel, poked at the pile of ore skillfully, and divided the pile of ore into two piles, one big and one small, exactly five to one, and waved his hand.
, he put the pile of small ones into the storage bag. Without saying anything, he waved his hands to signal a few people to leave. As if they were granted amnesty, a few people quickly threw out a backpack, wrapped the purple fire copper essence, and left.
This tunnel, with twists and turns, was out of Jiang Feng's sight.
The torch passed by Lao Han's legs. Jiang Feng discovered the familiar face and was surprised again. This person turned out to be one of the few old demon cultivators who stayed in the village when he entered the village. Although he was old and had low cultivation level,
Although he is tall, he can chat and laugh happily with the deputy captain of the law enforcement team who led him here.
Self-stealing? Jiang Feng discovered that it was more than that. The "talisman" on his body did not seem to give any warning when it was filled with purple fire copper essence.
He gave up the idea of following up. Since this demon cultivator named "Old Han Legs" with the surname Yan dared to do this, he must have his support, and even his anti-reconnaissance methods were slightly better, otherwise he would not often walk by the river.
, not a drop of it touches your body.
Jiang Feng recalled the shadow and entered another passage. He planned to collect more information first. The short fat man mentioned a very important clue, that is, there is not just one of them, there may be many; and the torn-robed demon
Xiu mentioned a camp, which should be the place where these robbers gather to rest. This place cannot be so grand on the ground. There is only an abandoned village here. Otherwise, the management of Lizong would not be able to see it with open eyes.
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Feng found more than one excavation team. The minimum was only two demon cultivators, and the maximum was six people. The targets set ranged from fifty to three hundred. He followed decisively.
A team with very low cultivation gradually approached deeper underground until they felt a noisy atmosphere.
There is a dry and empty place here, more like an abandoned hall. The hall extends in all directions and leads to many rooms. The walls are also covered with torches, which illuminate the place brightly. Before many robbers entered this place,
, they all stamped a cleansing charm on their bodies and entered the camp cleanly, without exception.
Although there are no inspectors, there seem to be rules here.
Jiang Feng was planning to find a way to carefully observe the characteristics of the robbers here so that he could sneak in, but he saw a silhouette from a distance that seemed familiar. When the man entered the hall, several people who seemed to be sitting around immediately surrounded him.
When they came up, they argued for a while and then dispersed.
He turned around accidentally and seemed to be disturbed by Jiang Feng's stare.
"How could it be him?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was expected.
