Chapter 7 Reaching the fourth stage, two more black shadow clones!

Su Zhan once calculated how huge the profit of the entire mine was when he was chatting with people in his spare time.

There are thousands of people in one mining area alone, and there must be at least 50,000 people in nearly ten mining areas.

On average, each person hands in 100 miscellaneous spirit stones every day, and 50,000 people have at least 5 million miscellaneous spirit stones every day... According to the exchange rate of the outside world, there must be 500,000 low-grade spirit stones every day!

Remember, it is every day.

In a month, 15 million low-grade spirit stones.

This does not include the extremely expensive food, clothes, enjoyment and other benefits in the mine. Adding up, it is simply an astronomical figure!

The cost of the key mine is almost zero. The only thing that costs more is to hire cultivators above the fourth level of the mortal realm as the punishment team.

But for these guys in the punishment team, even if they don’t give them a penny of salary, they have a way to squeeze enough wealth from others!

Spirit stones are a rigid demand for Su Zhan now.

The further you go, the more amazing the amount of spiritual stones consumed by the black brand becomes. Even if Su Zhan leaves here, he still has to kill people and rob, intercept and plunder... But even so, the efficiency is far less than the profit from lying in the mine!

Not only that.

The key is that the mine can also hide the existence of these black shadow clones.

Killing people and robbing is a business that offends the common people. There is a risk of being discovered, retaliated, and hunted down... In comparison, letting the black shadow clones mine every day is much less risky.

You can imagine.

Once Su Zhan takes over this place, he will earn 500,000 spiritual stones every day, and his black brand stage will be able to improve rapidly, and he can reach the tenth or twentyth level in a few minutes!

The original Su Zhan would definitely not dare to think so.

He just wants to get stronger quickly and find an opportunity to get out of this hellhole. The farther away, the better. Living a stable life is better than anything else.

But the functions unlocked by the black brand are more powerful than one, and the right time, place, and people are all on his side... What reason does he have to refuse?

"We have a goal, but we can't take too big a step. We have to take it slow... With my current strength of the first level of the mortal realm, let alone the guys from the punishment team, any ordinary second level mortal realm can kill me in seconds."

"Not to mention that the mine is backed by the Chunyang Sect."

That's right.

After nearly a month of inquiries by Su Zhan, it can be basically confirmed that the mastermind behind the mine, the biggest backer, is the Chunyang Sect, which is admired and worshipped by countless people within a thousand miles!

This can also explain why Su Zhan and others were targeted shortly after leaving the Chunyang Sect.

It can also explain why there are tens of thousands of first level mortal realm here, but they are still being eaten alive.

There are even more than one similar mine, there are several!

Only a behemoth like the Chunyang Sect can calm down such a scene.

"I need more spirit stones for cultivation, to buy elixirs, skills, weapons, treasures, etc.... With so many Xiaohei helping me, my speed of becoming stronger is only faster than others!"

Su Zhan's eyes flashed.

The mines before were suffering and hell for him.

But now.

It's not an exaggeration to call it heaven!

There are spiritual stones everywhere, no one cares, you can dig them at will, and you can get 10 times the exchange income from the outside world through Xiao Hei... If this is not heaven, then where is heaven?

As long as he is a little cautious.

Don't be too complacent and eat big fish and meat every day, and show off in the market, causing people to be targeted... There is basically no problem!

"Four good brothers, work hard, and I will marry you a beautiful female disciple of the sect next year!"

Su Zhan, who was both a social animal and a single dog in his previous life, laughed, lay down on the ground, and began to imagine the future.

...

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

The loud bell rang, and many people packed up their hoes, dragged their tired bodies, and went to the exchange office to line up to hand in the spiritual stones in exchange for today's income.

In the surging crowd.

Compared with the tired and hard faces of others, Su Zhan seemed relaxed and happy, and even his steps were much lighter than those of ordinary people.

"Burp."

He even burped from time to time.

That's right, since he could go out to exchange spirit stones, how could he not bring back some delicious food to reward himself?

If he brought wine and food from the outside world, the smell would be too strong and easy to be noticed. In the mine, no one would notice whatever he ate.

"Su Zhan, the quality today is still acceptable. Your spirit stone, keep it."

The bald man casually threw a low-grade spirit stone into Su Zhan's hand.

Mr. Zhou, who was behind him, heard it, opened his eyes, and glanced at Su Zhan.

"Mr. Zhou."

Su Zhan nodded slightly. If it weren't for this person's help yesterday, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a little black until now.

Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, turned his head and closed his eyes, ignoring it.

...

The next day.

Su Zhan went to work as scheduled.

When he came to the mine again, he saw that the number of miscellaneous spirit stones behind the four little blacks had piled up into a small mountain!

"It feels so good to be able to lay down and get a huge harvest after a good sleep!"

Su Zhan happily stepped forward and began to count.

After a while.

The number came out. The total result of the four little black guys' hard work all night was 417 miscellaneous spirit stones!

"So, if the four little black guys work all day, they can get about 800 miscellaneous spirit stones every day... Before I finish work today, I will have the opportunity to enter the fourth stage!"

"In that case, I can let go and boldly absorb spirit stones to become stronger."

Immediately, Su Zhan went straight to Panxi and sat down, "Xiao Hei, go get my spirit stone."

Xiao Hei obeyed the order.

He quickly entered deeper into the mine, dug out a small bag from an inconspicuous corner of the mine wall, grabbed it, then ran to Su Zhan and gently put the small bag down.

Once opened, fluorescence fills the air.

There were fifteen low-grade spiritual stones lying there.

Twelve of them were leftover after Su Zhan fed the Black Brand to the third stage yesterday, and the other three were exchanged by Xiao Hei before the work was over.

Now the absorption rules of black brand have been mastered.

Su Zhan doesn't need to try one by one. He can just wait for the spiritual stones to be gathered together, and then swallow them up with the black brand in one breath... It's just that there are so many spiritual stones that Su Zhan can't carry them with him. The mine has strict body searches. The purpose of the inspection is to prevent people from smuggling miscellaneous spirit stones away without permission.

Therefore, Su Zhan simply left the spirit stone here and asked Xiao Hei to take care of it. If anything happened, Xiao Hei could quickly take the spirit stone and evacuate.

"start!"

As Su Zhan closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation, the wisps of light on the spirit stone seemed to be pulled by some force, followed his palm, and began to merge into Su Zhan's body.

Click.

In less than an hour, a spiritual stone was completely absorbed by Su Zhan, completely losing its light, dimming like an ordinary stone, and quietly shattering.

Without any hesitation, Su Zhan directly picked up the second spirit stone and continued to absorb and practice.

The light of each spiritual stone was absorbed, and the spiritual energy in Su Zhan's body gradually filled up.

In just half a day, he absorbed more than 8 low-grade spiritual stones!

"Absorbing spiritual stones is indeed the most luxurious way of cultivation that ordinary people can experience. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth itself, and with additional assistance, the progress is more than twice as fast as before."

"According to this progress, I will be able to enter the second level of the mortal realm in less than a month!"

Su Zhan was delighted.

His cultivation talent itself is not low.

It’s just that I was too poor before, let alone practicing with spirit stones, it would be nice to have enough to eat... Now with the blessing of spirit stones, my cultivation efficiency is much faster than that of mediocre people like Li Lichang!

Not only that.

Once Su Zhan's strength reaches the second level of the mortal realm, the strength of these four black shadow clones will also increase accordingly...Based on the fact that the second level of the mortal realm basically earns 200 miscellaneous spirit stones every day, the four black shadow clones will The income of the clone will also be doubled directly!

"Come again!"

Thinking of this, Su Zhan was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and he immediately continued practicing.

In a blink of an eye.

The sun sets in the west, and it's not far from work.

A black shadow rushed out from the hiding place, avoiding places where everyone might be, bypassing all sights, and entered the mine where Su Zhan was.

"A total of... 84 spirit stones. Now the fourth stage is in place!"

Su Zhan took the spirit stone bag from Xiaohei, his eyes full of excitement.

No hesitation.

Su Zhan decisively poured out all the 84 spirit stones, and then without any explanation, he grabbed a handful with his right hand.

The black fluorescence lights up, and the spirit stone rapidly melts and penetrates at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"After the third stage, the speed of absorbing spirit stones becomes faster."

Su Zhan's eyes flashed.

This shows that the upgrade of Black Brand is very user-friendly.

After all, the more spirit stones you need, the more spiritual stones you will need. It is okay to absorb dozens or hundreds of them. But if you absorb tens of thousands of them later, it will probably take several days and nights to absorb light!

Soon, 30 pills were absorbed.

As expected, there was no movement.

50 pills have been absorbed.

There are still no new Blackies born, nor any new changes.

80 pills "down belly", the black mark remains the same.

"The 81st one!"

Su Zhan became inexplicably nervous.

This feeling is just like drawing big prizes in scratch tickets in the previous life, but the difference is that scratch tickets have thank you discounts, but not this one!

"Coming!"

finally.

As the black fluorescence of the 81st spirit stone gradually dimmed, two new shadow clones were rapidly forming in front of Su Zhan!

"Two, two more!"

As soon as he saw two more shadow clones appearing, Su Zhan couldn't help but get excited, and the smile on his face almost reached his ears.

If you calculate it this way, there are six shadow clones!

This means that at least 120 low-grade spiritual stones are received every day!

"The next stage is 243. If you go faster, it will be achieved in two days. If you go slower, it will take more practice and it will be done in three days!"

"In this case, starting from tomorrow, I will not absorb the spirit stones one by one. I have to make a bigger plan and absorb 10 stones at a time! Haha!"

Su Zhan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because he was so happy, he threw up the remaining spiritual stones in his left hand to express his joy.

When people are particularly happy, they can't help but do a little bit of celebration and encouragement... However, just when the spirit stone fell, Su Zhan reached out to catch it.

Abrupt.

The moment the spirit stone fell into Su Zhan's hand, it disappeared out of thin air!
