Chapter 36 Cloud Pattern Ore
While walking, from time to time someone chose a fork in the road and left alone. Soon, only Qin Tian and one other person were left. After the two looked at each other, they each chose a fork in the road to separate.
It was obvious that everyone wanted to act alone. After all, the mine inspection was, to put it bluntly, a sinecure. In addition to preventing miners from rebelling, they were also responsible for collecting the ore dug by the miners and handing it over to Luo Zhang at the entrance of the cave every month. Registered.
In this way, everyone working separately not only facilitates the management of the miners, but also frees up time to practice. For this, everyone naturally has a tacit understanding.
Before coming in, Lin Feng had already explained that the sect had tasks for miners to mine, and the inspection team was responsible for handing over at least 3,000 yuan of "moire ore" every month.
As for how to get the miners to dig out enough ore, Lin Feng didn't mention it, but everyone understood it.
After all, the miners here are basically the lowest level of the sect, who were transferred to mine because there was no hope of breakthrough in their cultivation, or they were some criminals who made some big mistakes and were sent here. And before entering the mine, cultivation levels are usually banned in advance to prevent riots.
In this way, managing miners is an extremely simple matter.
In the dim fork, Qin Tian was walking slowly forward. The deeper he went, the narrower the mine became. After about a while, pieces of pale white ore began to appear on the stone wall of the mine. They were of different sizes and embedded in the dark hole. Very conspicuous on the wall.
"I think this is the "Moiré Ore"!"
Qin Tian was secretly excited.
After walking in for a while, the fork in the road had reached the end. Qin Tian's eyes suddenly opened up, and a spacious mine with a size of a hundred feet appeared. The ore on the stone wall of this mine was even denser, and it was like stars dotting the dark stone wall. , it’s so beautiful!
At this moment, there are dozens of thin and ragged miners in the mine, busy with mining picks. Since their spiritual power is blocked, these miners can only rely on physical labor, which seems extremely difficult.
Perhaps it was Qin Tian's arrival that attracted attention, and everyone gradually stopped moving, looking at the new supervisory disciple with a slightly fearful look.
Qin Tian sighed slightly when he saw this. It was obvious that these miners had been squeezed and humiliated in daily life, and they had long lost the arrogance of being monks.
At this time, a lean man in his forties came out of the crowd, bowed to Qin Tian and said:
"Your Majesty, please be polite. I am the leader of this group of miners. My common name is Ah Qi. If you are sent by your Majesty in the future, we will do our best to complete the task and never make it difficult for you!"
After saying that, the man named Ah Qi still kept his slight bow, appearing cautious.
Qin Tian frowned slightly and then said: "You don't need to be so afraid. Qin is not an unreasonable person. As long as you complete the task as required, Qin will naturally not make things difficult for you!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became much calmer.
It seems that this new supervisor disciple is not too difficult to get along with!
This thought suddenly flashed through everyone's mind.
After instructing everyone to continue working, Qin Tian called Na Ah Qi aside and asked him about the monthly ore output.
Naturally, Ah Qi did not dare to neglect, and quickly and respectfully answered: "Master Qi, currently we can dig out about three hundred pieces of moiré ore every month, which is enough for the mission."
Hearing this, Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, gave Ah Qi a few more instructions, and asked him to step back.
The task share is 3,000 yuan per month, and there are 12 disciples of the sixth level of Qi Refining who enter the mine. Each person only needs to pay 250 yuan per month, and the rest is the amount Qin Tian is prepared to pay!
As for whether he would be discovered, Qin Tian was not worried at all. After all, quenching and purifying the ore was too time-consuming, and the higher the grade of the ore, the higher the failure rate. Non-Qitang disciples would not be competent.
Therefore, the moire ore has always been transported back to the sect, and the people in the Qi Hall are responsible for it.
The sect has never doubted that supervisory disciples would embezzle "raw ore". After all, for all supervisory disciples, it is better to save time to practice if they have spare time.
As his thoughts turned, Qin Tian no longer had any scruples and found a remote side road. After placing a restriction, he took out a "Qi Gathering Pill" and swallowed it, and began to practice cross-legged with his eyes closed...
There was no telling the time in the cave. This practice lasted for a full month before Qin Tian was awakened by the feeling of hunger in his belly.
After taking out a Bigu Pill and taking it, Qin Tian immediately stood up after feeling his improvement in cultivation, and soon came to the mine again.
At this moment, in the mine, Ah Qi and others put down their tools and gathered around a pile of "moiré ore". Seeing Qin Tian's arrival, everyone quickly dispersed.
Qin Tian came to the pile of "moiré ore". After taking a glance, he couldn't help but show approval in his eyes and said, "Yes, three hundred yuan, no more, no less. I'll give you a day off today. I'll dig it next month." The more, the longer the break!”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then most of them showed gratitude. The supervisory disciple in front of them was obviously much more reasonable than the previous one!
After collecting the ore, Qin Tian didn't stay much. After giving out Bigu Pills to the miners as usual, he went straight out of the side road, making twists and turns along the way, following the route in his memory. After about a stick of incense, he finally came out. Get the mine.
Perhaps because he had stayed in the mine for a long time, Qin Tian even felt as if he was in another world when he reappeared on the ground.
At this moment, at the entrance of the cave, everyone in the first team has assembled, and Qin Tian is the last one.
In the impatient eyes of the crowd, Qin Tian walked forward expressionlessly, took out 250 pieces of cloud pattern ore, and placed them on the table in front of Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang's mind swept, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said to Qin Tian with a somewhat unhappy tone:
"How can there be only this amount?"
Qin Tian heard this, and his tone was still calm: "The miners' output is not high, and it is extremely difficult to complete the task."
After this, Luo Zhang's face just improved, but his tone was still cold and he said:
"These miners are used to being passive and lazy on weekdays. You just need to knock them well, and the output will increase."
Qin Tian heard this and could only helplessly respond...
Late at night, in the dim fork, Qin Tian held a piece of "cloud pattern ore" wrapped in gray mist, and it was obviously being quenched and purified.
After about a few breaths, the gray mist slowly retreated to the mysterious pendant, revealing a fist-sized ore with silver cloud patterns all over the body and shining with a faint white light. It was cloud pattern stone.
This ore can be used to refine magic tools to increase the success rate of engraving magic patterns on magic tools. Its value is much higher than that of golden stone!
Holding the cloud pattern stone in his hand, Qin Tian played with it for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
It feels so good not to worry about cultivation resources anymore!
