After Li Jiusi learned that Lin Xiao was going to meet him, he was immediately filled with strength. Needless to say, he started working hard, taking several apprentices and the assistants assigned to him by Nan Xuan, and kept running around within a radius of hundreds of miles.
And Nan Xuan has also begun to recruit young mortals to mine. This mining is to dig for money. You may get several pieces of Xuan Crystal with one hoe, so naturally you can't miss it.
The governor of Xishan Road was also supported by the Tiansheng Sect. Nanxuandu came in person. Naturally, he did not dare to delay. He personally sent orders to several county magistrates of Xishan Road, asking them to mobilize the young and strong mortals to dig mines.
There is no such thing as corvee for mortals in the world of immortality. They are paid to work for officials. Although the money is not much and it is distributed, it is still much better than the mortals in many places.
Nanxuan asked for 50,000 young men in the first batch, and sent dozens of low-level disciples to help. Mortals are not much more troublesome than immortal cultivators in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Moreover, if the young men are removed, the farming side will also be affected.
, money and food had to be mobilized from other places, which was not something a governor could do, so Nanxuan had to take charge of it himself.
A few days later, five hundred old and weak dragons and horses from the Beast Control Hall were also dispatched. The dragons and horses were much stronger than ordinary oxen and horses. It would not be a problem to hitch a carriage and pull a load of one or two thousand kilograms.
The defensive formation was also quickly set up, divided into two levels. One was a large formation covering hundreds of miles in radius. It had little protective power and was mainly used as a warning. However, there were usually monks patrolling.
The other was the formation in the mine, which had to be much stricter. For this reason, Li Jiusi had to send people to open up the earth veins and pull out the hidden spiritual veins in the ground to provide profound energy for the formation and reduce losses.
The magical weapons used in the mine were also forged not long after. These magical weapons were not of high grade and were all for mortals to use. Otherwise, mining with mortal steel would be very inefficient.
This busy period lasted for more than half a year. Within half a year, the Xijin Mine had begun production. The previous cave was continuously widened, half of the mountain was dug flat, and the underground river was directly exposed to everyone.
Qingzhuang dug out the ore, then crushed it, and then handed it over to the immortal cultivators for refining. These processes were very familiar to the Tiansheng Sect. Nan Xuan went back after appointing several principals. Now there are several principals in charge here.
·········
"The first seat in the south, Li Jiusi comes to restore his life."
At the gate of Tiansheng Sect, Li Jiusi met Nan Xuan again. In front of Nan Xuan, there was also a bag of Xi Jin. This was the finished product that had just been extracted. It could be used directly for refining. The quantity was not much, just over a kilogram, but
But it's worth hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing, and one-third of the initial investment in mining has been earned back.
"Looking back at the first building, after appraisal, the Xijin produced on Xishan Road is indeed of better quality than the ones we buy outside. If the price is not raised, our Xijin will have a greater advantage."
There was a person beside Nan Xuan who was an appraiser from Gongming City. After comparing the Xijin that Li Jiusi brought,
"Thank you for your hard work, go and do your work."
Nan Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and the appraiser bowed his hands and left.
"Senior Brother Li, sit down. Don't be nervous. This appraisal is a rule. It's okay now."
“Thank you Nanshouzuo”
"Senior Brother Li, this is the approval document for your meritorious service this time. You can take a look at it."
Nan Xuan sent another jade slip to Li Jiusi. Li Jiusi glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness and suddenly showed joy, because the jade slip showed that the merit points given to him by the sect this time were one million, which was all he had in the past five or six years.
Income.
And unlike monthly salary, this is a merit point for meritorious service, no less than military merit. In the future, such merit points will account for at least 60% when redeeming the Lingming Pill.
"Thank you so much, Nanshouzuo, thank you so much, the leader, thank you so much, the sect..."
"Haha, Brother Li, you don't have to be like this. This is what you deserve, and this is the reward for discovering the mineral veins so far. If more mineral veins are discovered in the future, there will be subsidies."
"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you very much"
"Well, I remember that Senior Brother Li and several of his disciples also participated. I will write a report in a few days, and then we will discuss the merits and reward them together."
"Yes, South Tower"
"Okay, I won't keep you here. The leader is almost free now. You can go see him."
"well"
Li Jiusi was a little excited and began to speak incoherently. It was the first time for him to get resources worth one million Xuanjing at once.
Li Jiusi went out and soon came to Lin Xiao's cave along the road. There was a disciple on duty. After explaining his purpose, the disciple let him in.
"Li Jiusi has met the leader"
"There's no need to be polite, Jiusi. Sit here, and when someone comes, serve tea."
When Lin Xiao saw Li Jiusi, he immediately smiled and called for tea. Soon, a disciple brought tea.
"Jiusi has made great contributions to the sect this time. The minerals came in very timely. Did Nanxuan give you a reward?"
"Here it is, Master, I just gave it to you."
"That's good. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and you should be rewarded in a timely manner."
"Yes, leader"
"Jiusi, you are now the highest level earth master in the sect. How long do you think it will take for you to be promoted to the fourth level?"
"Well, Master, I don't know how to explain it. The classification of Earth Master's inheritance is very vague and cannot be divided according to the alchemy weapon formation. But I don't know how to divide it specifically. It should be the classification of Earth Master's inheritance.
To understand and apply the content, to be honest, I’m confused right now.”
Li Jiusi replied that the grades inherited by the Earth Master are very unreliable. In terms of alchemy, the grades are clearly divided. Different levels of elixirs have clear levels of difficulty and efficacy. It is clear at a glance what the level is. But the Earth Master is different.
It did not say what level of spiritual veins were discovered.
"The head of the Earth Master Heritage School doesn't understand either. You are the one with the highest level right now. So how do you think we can improve our level quickly?"
"Practice, Master, I found that there are many errors and omissions in the Earth Master's inheritance. Many of these books were written thousands of years ago. They are very different from today's environment, and the people who wrote them were also
I haven’t traveled all over the world of immortality, so the book is not entirely correct. Only by practicing it yourself can you quickly improve your level."
"Okay, since you have this understanding, I support you, Jiusi, you should know that the sect is currently implementing the strategy of the wilderness. However, the wilderness is full of dangers and the benefits are not great, so the sect lacks the ability to persuade others to go there.
reasons.
So I decided to send you to the wilderness to search for minerals and spiritual mountains. There is a full set of equipment to reward you here, including shields, inner armor, combat boots, flying swords, and spiritual talismans. They are all top-grade fourth-level products. In addition, I will send two more
A monk at the twelfth level of the Dao Gang protects you, which is enough to make you invincible in the wild buffer zone. As long as the fifth-level demon king does not appear or is besieged by an army of tens of thousands of demon beasts, you can be safe."
Lin Xiao followed suit and sent Li Jiusi to the wilderness. Currently, the development of the wilderness is not strong enough, and the benefits are not great enough. If some extremely valuable minerals appear, someone will take the initiative to go there without the help of the Tiansheng Sect.
And Li Jiusi said that practice can improve his level, which is even better. By the way, it also solves the problem of system upgrade. This kills two birds with one stone, and Lin Xiao will not miss it.
"Master, this, this, is too precious..."
Li Jiusi was confused. A fourth-level high-grade magic weapon costs hundreds of thousands. Defensive magic weapons are more expensive, maybe millions. How many mysterious crystals does this complete set of equipment cost in total? This makes the always poor man
Li Jiusi was almost stunned.
"This is my personal reward for you. Take it, it's not worth much. If you do good things in the future and make contributions to the sect, you can repay me. If you really feel sorry for me, then break through the Earth Master inheritance to the fourth level within five years."
How about the top grade?”
"Okay, I promise the leader, I will definitely do it."
"Haha, okay, you go down and have a rest. When you go to the wilderness, just go to Nan Xuan directly."
"Yes, leader"
Li Jiusi carried his storage bag and left in a daze. Before today, his total wealth did not exceed 500,000 Xuanjing, but after today, his net worth was at least 5 to 6 million. This gap really made him feel
A little overwhelmed.
"Master, you are trying to be biased and unfair."
"Ye Nanyu, what are you talking about? Say it again?"
"Ahem, Master, Zhang Qingxuan will go crazy if he finds out. He has been planning for that Lingming Pill for decades."
"That's none of my business, fair competition. By the way, Ye Nanyu, I'm warning you, if something happens to Li Jiusi, you will all be buried with him."
"Master, what kind of people are we?"
Ye Nanyu quickly shouted, Lin Xiao suspected that they were going to attack Li Jiusi. How could this be possible? Not to mention that Li Jiusi was already valued by Lin Xiao. Even if he wasn't, they wouldn't dare.
"I'm telling you, it's okay if you don't dare. This kind of thing involves my taboos and bottom line, and I absolutely cannot do it."
"I understand, how can we do such a thing? Zhang Qingxuan doesn't have the guts either."
"Okay, what's the matter?"
"There is news from Xuanyue City that Senior Sister Li has refined the first batch of Lingming Pills and produced three pills. The task has been completed. Now the Lingming Pills are on their way back. It is estimated that they will arrive in two months."
"Three Lingming Pills, okay, you won't lose money on this order."
Lin Xiao was overjoyed. Three Lingming Pills were refined in the first furnace. It is very likely that the next two furnaces can exceed this number. As long as there is one more pill, it will not be a loss, and it will only make more and more profits in the future.
"Should I tell Luo Mingjun and the others the news now?"
"You can tell them to raise the second and third furnaces of Lingming Pills as soon as possible and send them to Xuanyue City as soon as possible. The strength of Qianluo Kingdom and Xilao Kingdom will also increase dramatically, and the wild strategy can be accelerated."
"Master, don't keep thinking about others. Where is our Lingming Pill? I, Ye Xiao, have several people who have reached the twelfth level of Daogang, and they are all missing."
"Ye Nanyu, what are you thinking? Do you need Lingming Pill when you reach the twelfth floor? As for the merit points, I can tell you that I want to check the accounts. I know how many great achievements you Ye Xiao have made. Can you
Don't mess with me"
"Hey, my boss, how could you wrongly accuse me like this? How dare I lie? Their merit points are almost the same, and we are short of manpower."
"If you have merit points, just report them. I'll know after checking them. Don't try to cheat me. In addition, someone in the sect will start to make breakthroughs. I will make sure everything is even."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. He didn't know Ye Nanyu yet. This guy could do anything to pry resources from him. On the contrary, the sect was much more honest. The accounts were all clear and you could tell after checking.
