Everyone was still discussing the disappearance heatedly, but the new ordinary people didn't feel much fear. After all, the perpetrator's first target was the monk, and there were two here, so it was not their turn for the time being.
The casual cultivators who came with Wang Daoyuan looked very nervous and scared. Wang Daoyuan also pretended to be nervous to avoid others seeing his flaws.
About a quarter of an hour later, the steward came in with a few tools. Everyone stopped discussing, and Wang Daoyuan heard no more useful information.
The steward handed out tools to the newcomers. This thing looked like a pickaxe and was made of first-order hematite. However, it was simply forged into shape and had not been forged by a weapon refiner. There was no weapon pattern on the pickaxe head.
Compared with ordinary tools, it is stronger and sharper.
The young steward led a group of people to the deepest part of the mine tunnel. There was no road ahead, only red stone walls. These stones were hematite ore.
These hematite ores are not hard, almost like ordinary rocks, and can be broken by ordinary people. Plus, with a hematite pickaxe, mining the ores is not too strenuous.
As a late stage monk in Qi training, Wang Daoyuan was naturally much more relaxed than ordinary people. Although he deliberately held back his strength, he could dig down more than ten times the ore with a pickaxe than ordinary people.
The amount of ore mined by the other monk was less than half of Wang Daoyuan's.
However, Wang Daoyuan grew up in a family, and his living conditions are much higher than those of casual cultivators. In addition, he has been eating spiritual grains and pseudo-spiritual fish in recent years, so his body is relatively strong.
As for the casual cultivator, who is thin and thin, Wang Daoyuan does much more than him, which is reasonable.
Before you know it, it's already very late. Although you can't see the sky in the mine tunnel, the miner's body is the best timer. Most of the miners are hungry and tired, and it's time to call it a day and have a meal.
The young steward led everyone to the dining area outside the mine tunnel, and other young stewards also brought people there one after another.
Afterwards, the casual cultivators and ordinary people ate separately. The food for ordinary people was ordinary grains, with a little fish and meat added.
Monks eat ordinary food, which is harmful rather than beneficial, so the food provided to casual cultivators is cooked spiritual grain, which is distributed according to the amount of mining. Wang Daoyuan was given half a catty of spiritual grain.
The monks' reward is these spiritual grains, and ordinary people will also get some gold, silver or food.
Wang Daoyuan did not eat these spiritual grains. He had already deduced that someone might have poisoned them, so naturally he did not dare to eat casually. He put these spiritual grains away and turned back to the rest area of the mine tunnel.
After the meal, everyone returned to the rest area. The steward came over and asked, "But are you not satisfied with the food?"
Wang Daoyuan replied: "How can I do it? I can't eat such good food outside. I just don't want to eat so much. I have a younger brother at home who is still young and needs spiritual grain to nourish his body."
The steward persuaded: "I can understand this. I usually save some food and take it home for my children. Although you are an immortal, you can do the work of a dozen people. If you don't eat, don't put your body at risk.
Exhausted."
Wang Daoyuan expressed his gratitude and said: "Don't worry, manager, I will naturally eat some when I am hungry."
After that, Wang Daoyuan entered the spirit bead space with his consciousness, cooked two taels of spirit grain produced in the spirit bead space, and took it out to eat. Naturally, others could not see the flaw.
Everyone worked hard all afternoon, and their physical strength was very high. After eating, they naturally began to feel sleepy. Even the casual cultivator began to doze off, and soon fell asleep.
Although Wang Daoyuan did the most, he kept concentrating his energy. This was much easier than when he was refining magic talismans and practicing spells in Danfu Pavilion.
In order not to be too conspicuous and attract the attention of secretly watching people, he also pretended to be tired, but still chose to meditate and practice.
Casual practitioners who have not given up on the path of spiritual practice usually work harder than the family members.
The resources and inheritance of casual cultivators are not as good as those of family members. If they want to get ahead, they can only work harder and fight harder.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Wang Daoyuan did not rest but meditated.
He did not dare to enter meditation, but always remained vigilant to prevent anyone from sneaking up on him.
Unfortunately, after being careful all night, nothing happened.
I worked every day during the day and meditated vigilantly at night. After five days of this, everything was calm.
On the evening of the sixth day, Wang Daoyuan meditated as usual, and a smell that resembled the aroma of wine came from the steward.
The fragrance is very light and ordinary people can't smell it at all. Even Wang Daoyuan can barely smell it.
The young steward usually lives in the same rest area as the ordinary workers, but his place is a single room specially carved out on the stone wall, which is fully equipped with beds and furniture.
Wang Daoyuan smelled the fragrance and held his breath carefully. A monk can hold his breath for a long time and only rely on the spiritual power in his body to maintain his life.
With Wang Daoyuan's cultivation level, there is no pressure to hold his breath for two or three hours.
In order not to be seen as abnormal, after he held his breath, his chest and abdomen still rose and fell regularly, pretending to be still breathing.
Wang Daoyuan's spiritual consciousness swept towards the casual cultivator and imitated his state. Because he showed much stronger strength than the casual cultivator, he always delayed for a while when imitating the state.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the casual cultivator completely entered the drowsy stage, and Wang Daoyuan also changed from meditating to collapsing on the bed.
The young steward walked out of his single room. His face, which was originally a sincere big brother, turned into a fierce look. His eyes glanced back and forth between Wang Daoyuan and another casual cultivator, as if he was selecting goods.
After thinking for a while, the steward chose Wang Daoyuan. After all, Wang Daoyuan was much stronger than the other casual cultivator in terms of strength and body, and he looked very good.
He picked up Wang Daoyuan and attached a first-grade high-grade Earth Escape Talisman to Wang Daoyuan's body. Then he used his spiritual consciousness to trigger the Earth Escape Talisman, and Wang Daoyuan was directly forced to escape underground.
After doing this, the steward returned to his private room and continued sleeping as if nothing had happened.
Wang Daoyuan was a little surprised. There was no spiritual power fluctuation on the little steward's body at all. A person with no cultivation level could actually use the power of spiritual consciousness to trigger the spiritual talisman.
He was forced to escape underground and had no time to think about this.
After more than ten breaths, he escaped to an underground cave and landed on a giant python.
This giant python is more than five feet long, with black stripes on a yellow background. It has spiritual power fluctuations of water and earth attributes. However, its cultivation level is not enough. It has just entered the first-level middle level, which is equivalent to the fourth level of Qi training.
Look.
In a head-on fight, this giant python is not enough to hit Wang Daoyuan with two magic talismans.
Wang Daoyuan was prepared. If the giant python dared to swallow him, he would kill him directly, then go up and catch the steward and ask him what happened.
Fortunately, the python did not swallow him, but wrapped him up with its tail, then used the Earth Escape Technique and continued to escape downwards.
Wang Daoyuan was a little surprised. It seemed that this giant python was not an ordinary monster, but could actually escape from the earth.
Ordinary first-level monsters have very low intelligence and basically don't know spells, unless they have the bloodline of a high-level monster and have their own innate spells, or they have an owner and are taught spells.
He didn't feel any special bloodline in this giant python. It seemed like it was a monster with an owner. Otherwise, it would just swallow him to improve his cultivation. Why bother taking him to other places.
