Chapter 384 Huge Mineral Vein
After that.
8524 gave the two of them another bitter smile.
It was hard to say whether to comfort them or to let them accept their fate.
Then he continued: "Please remember, you two need to hand in the ore you have mined once an hour."
"When you hear the bell ring, it's time to hand in the ore."
"Although there is no limit on the amount of ore you can hand in each time, the total amount per day must not be less than 10,000 jin."
"It's getting late now, brothers, you should work faster!"
"If you fail to complete the task today, the spiritual stones you will receive tomorrow will be deducted and you won't be able to replenish them. Your physical strength will decrease even more."
"If you fall into a vicious cycle in the end, you'll really be close to death!"
In the mine, everyone has a strong sense of time.
In less than half an hour, they told Zhong Qing and Xiang Fei what they should pay attention to.
Then they started mining.
For a while, there was a clanging sound in the mine.
Xiang Fei and Zhong Qing looked at each other.
"You don't even give me a tool. Do I have to dig this mine with my bare hands?"
Xiang Fei's face turned bitter.
Zhong Qing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hold on for a few more days."
"Then I'll take you out!"
Xiang Fei smiled bitterly, thinking that Zhong Qing was comforting him.
"Brother, I won't say anything."
"Hurry up and work!"
"You look so delicate. Although you live in a remote place, you probably haven't suffered any hardship before!"
"I'll see if I can help you mine more ore and relieve some of your pressure."
"Let's get started!"
There are many branch caves in the mine.
Xiang Fei randomly chose a branch cave and jumped in.
Not long after, the sound of clanging came from the branch cave.
Zhong Qing looked at Xiang Fei's figure disappearing from his eyes, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Until this time, the other party not only did not complain about him at all.
He was also prepared to do his best to help him.
Xiang Fei is really a good person.
"I'll find a chance later to give him some opportunities as compensation."
Zhong Qing thought about it and chose a branch cave to walk in.
The branch cave was very small, and only one person could pass through.
For a master of the Three Yin and Three Yang realms, destroying mountains and breaking rivers is just a piece of cake.
It is not difficult to mine ten thousand kilograms of ore every day, even with bare hands.
However, this is the territory of Zhongzhou.
Compared to the four regions, the gravity law of Zhongzhou is obviously different.
In the East Region, a master of the Three Yin realm may be able to flatten thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with his own strength.
But in Zhongzhou, at best, he can break a stone or collapse a small hill.
What's more, they have copper rings that can suppress the mysterious power in their hands, and only a small part of the mysterious power can be used.
Most of them can only rely on the power of the physical body to mine.
The difficulty has risen again.
Also, although the gray-white jade around them looks very fragile, its hardness is no worse than gold and iron.
Ten thousand catties a day, it can't be said that there is no way for people to survive, but it can squeeze people to the maximum extent.
In comparison, those entrepreneurs who proposed 996 in the previous life can be called conscientious enterprises.
Zhong Qing's fingers were like knives, and he cut off a few pieces of ore.
In fact, this ore is actually a spirit stone.
It's just that the ore needs to be refined and the impurities removed before it can become a spirit stone.
The power of the law in his body surged, and soon, the gray-white ore was refined by him.
Although the copper ring on his hand can suppress the mysterious power.
But its principle is the suppression of the formation inscription.
As long as it is a formation, Zhong Qing is immune to it.
This thing is completely ineffective against him.
As Zhong Qing exerted his strength, the ore in his hand was quickly refined into crystal clear spirit stones.
These spirit stones have high and low quality.
There are low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, and even high-grade spirit stones.
In the cultivation world.
The ratio of spirit stones is one to one hundred.
That is, one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 100 medium-grade spirit stones.
One medium-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 100 low-grade spirit stones.
Each standard spirit stone weighs about one pound and is the size of a fist.
Zhong Qing's eyes were shocked for no reason.
He could feel that the storage content of high-grade spirit stones here was very high.
If the entire spirit vein was swallowed up, perhaps his strength would increase by a large margin.
He opened his eyes and looked at the storage capacity of the vein.
The vein was very large and very long.
With his strength, he was sure that he could swallow up the entire vein in a few days.
But Zhong Qing did not act immediately.
He came here this time to find clues about his apprentice.
Now that the apprentice has not been found, if he makes a big noise, it will inevitably add twists and turns to this relationship between master and apprentice.
Everything must be said after finding the information of the apprentice.
Not long after, a melodious bell sounded in the mine.
Zhong Qing was slightly stunned.
8524 said that when the bell sounded, it was the time for them to hand over the ore.
In this place, Zhong Qing didn't want to be too special.
He exerted a little force and smashed a large piece of ore.
He put some ore into the storage bag and left the branch cave.
8524, 8525, 8526 and even Xiang Fei were rushing to the mine for the exchange of ore.
Zhong Qing followed them.
The major mines are connected.
The exchange of ore is carried out in a mine hall.
When Zhong Qing followed the crowd to the mine hall.
Hundreds of people have gathered in the hall of thousands of square meters.
Although there are many people in the hall, it is not chaotic.
There are miners responsible for weighing and recording, and several responsible persons are watching closely and maintaining order.
Those who have weighed quickly return to their work stations.
Those who have not weighed wait in line.
Those who dare to cut in line and make trouble will be beaten and ruthlessly suppressed by the thunder whip.
The whole process seems extremely dull.
Soon, Zhong Qing handed over the spirit stones in his hand.
Registered in the book.
A total of 1,030 kilograms.
In other words, he has to hand them in nine times before his task today is completed.
After the handover, Zhong Qing saw Xiang Fei, who was depressed, rushing back dejectedly from a distance.
"What's wrong?"
He strode forward and patted Xiang Fei on the shoulder.
Xiang Fei showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"No!"
"It's just that this mine is a little difficult to dig."
"This time, I only handed in 500 kilograms."
"Today's task is still very heavy!"
"How much did you hand in?"
"About the same as you."
Zhong Qing's situation is a bit special, and he can't tell Xiang Fei now.
After he explores the situation again, he will prepare to remove the other party's copper ring confinement.
The two of them rushed back while talking.
This mine is connected in all directions.
Dozens of mines are connected to each other, and each main hole has countless small branch holes.
You can see that there are sparse people, some of whom are handing in ores from various mines, and some are constantly rushing back.
Like ants.
The crowd didn't communicate much throughout the whole process.
Obviously, the heavy task made them breathless.
Every face basically revealed despair and numbness, like a walking corpse.
When Zhong Qing and Xiang Fei were rushing back, a scene in a mine caught their attention.
