Chapter 161 The Prodigy of the Liu Family
Time passed day by day, and half a year passed in a flash.
In just a blink of an eye, Li Qing had been working as a spiritual miner in the Liu family for half a year.
With the help of the pickaxe he made and Li Qing's desperate digging every time he went down the mine, the spiritual stones he had accumulated now reached a very surprising number.
Tianhe Sect, spiritual stone mine.
Returning to the secret passage of the Liu family, Li Qing, who was covered in dust and looked very haggard, got on the horse.
"Brother Li, you are amazing. In just half a year, you have been able to hand in 70 spiritual stones?"
A cultivator on the horse next to him looked at Li Qing with a tone of praise.
Li Qing, who was riding a horse, showed a simple and shy expression and responded: "No, no, thanks to the careful teaching of Senior Zhou, otherwise the progress would definitely not be so fast!"
Yes, just now, Li Qing handed in 70 spiritual stones, and it was the number dug in the barren mining area.
For a newcomer who has just been a spiritual miner for half a year, this is definitely a very good number.
"Hahaha, you are too modest. I guess you won't be assigned to the poor mining area next month." Another miner said very friendly.
After getting along for half a year, Li Qing gradually understood the temperament of these workers. Most of them are still quite good, but they are a little bit nervous on weekdays.
But it is also true that if you can endure such a long time of dark work, you may not be able to do it without being a little nervous.
Hearing this, Li Qing did not refute, but just smiled honestly.
Although they are all in the same spiritual stone vein, the mining area assigned to each spiritual miner is actually divided into rich and poor.
Basically, it can be divided into three levels, either poor mines, mines with normal production, or rich mines!
Everyone who enters the spiritual stone mine to mine will get an exclusive waist card, which records the number of spiritual stones that the monk digs out every month.
The disciples of Tianhe Sect will also assign the miners to the corresponding mining areas according to their experience and level.
Li Qing was just a newcomer before, so he had been digging in the barren mining area for the past few months.
Most people are in the mining area with medium output, while old miners like Zhou Tong can basically be assigned to the rich mining area every time and have a good harvest.
Li Qing handed in 70 spiritual stones in one go this time. In fact, he was not very willing in his heart, but when he thought about entering the richer mine cave later, he had to make such a decision reluctantly.
His progress was very fast, but it was also within a reasonable range. After all, he could claim to the outside world that Senior Zhou had taught well, and everyone could understand it.
Riding on the horse's back, feeling the breeze blowing quickly, Li Qing's mood became cheerful.
The spiritual miners around also started talking:
"Hey, it seems that the trade fair will be held in a few days. What are you going to buy?"
"What else can I buy? I have saved spiritual stones for two years. I just want to see if I can buy a Qingqi Pill."
"Old Fang, you have saved so many spiritual stones. Why don't you consider going to the market of Tianhe Sect to have some fun? The fairies in Lingfeng Tower are more graceful than each other~"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing the three words Lingfeng Tower, many spiritual miners showed you know what smiles, very rippling.
Li Qing naturally knew what the so-called Lingfeng Tower was. This is a romantic place in the world of immortal cultivation, and the servants inside are all very beautiful female cultivators.
However, the consumption of Lingfeng Tower is not low, especially for the miners who are doing hard labor on the spot.
After ten days of hard mining, with a rich harvest of spiritual stones, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
However, a stern shout soon came from the front:
"Stop!"
Liu Haitian, who was at the front, used his own spiritual power to stop all the monks on horseback, and looked at the dense forest on the mountain road vigilantly.
When the voice came out, everyone was in doubt, not knowing what had happened.
Li Qing's expression suddenly became solemn, wondering if there was any accident, why did they suddenly stop on this road?
Thinking about it, Li Qing subconsciously drove the horse back a few steps and leaned slightly towards the back of the crowd.
As long as the situation was wrong, he was ready to turn the horse's head and rush back to the spirit stone mine.
He had already thought about it. There were disciples of Tianhe Sect there, and the spirit miners of other immortal cultivation families were almost there. If there were really monks who wanted to rob the road, it would be absolutely safe there.
Of course, the premise was that they could run back.
Fortunately, the next moment, a high-spirited voice sounded, relieving everyone's uneasiness.
"Hahaha, Uncle Haitian, long time no see!"
Accompanied by this voice, a figure with a rather young face and a magic spear under his foot floated out.
He was also wearing the clothes of a Tianhe Sect disciple, and the aura he exuded was not much weaker than that of the leader Liu Haitian.
Seeing this man, Liu Haitian's face relaxed instantly, and then he said in surprise:
"Liu Baishu, why is it you, boy? Good guy, you are already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, good, very good!"
The visitor was a direct descendant of the Liu family, and a very valued one, which could be seen from the clothes he wore.
Even the Liu family, which has a deep relationship with the Tianhe Sect, cannot send their children to the Tianhe Sect without restraint.
This young man named Liu Baishu is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. He has entered the late stage of Qi Refining at this age. His qualifications can be imagined.
"Hahaha, Uncle Haitian, isn't it almost the clan sacrifice? I just took a task of collecting herbs from the sect, so I came back to take a look." Liu Baishu said cheerfully.
Liu Haitian pretended to be stern and reprimanded: "The clan sacrifice is just a small matter. Don't delay the task of the upper sect. The family sent you to the upper sect just to make you perform well and practice well, so that you can enter the foundation-building realm one day!"
Liu Baishu obviously didn't listen to these words. He still smiled and said: "I know, I know!"
"By the way, how is Hanyue in the sect?" Liu Haitian asked with concern.
"Sister Hanyue is much better than me. She is already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and she has been working hard to accumulate contributions to the sect recently, and is already preparing for foundation building!"
"But Sister Hanyue also plans to come back before the recent clan sacrifice. What do you think, Uncle Haitian?"
Hearing this news, Liu Haitian changed his expression. It seems that he was shocked by the fact that Liu Hanyue had entered the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"It should be so, it should be so. Hanyue is about to build her foundation, and it is right for her to come back to the family to seek some help."
Liu Baishu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and then said, "Okay, Uncle Haitian, I won't waste your time, I'll go back first."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Liu Haitian nodded, and then led the spiritual miners behind him and rushed towards the direction of the family quickly, and the speed was much faster.
After what happened just now, the spirit miners behind him were obviously not so high-spirited, and they were much lower.
They obviously heard the conversation between Liu Haitian and Liu Baishu just now.
The late stage of Qi Refining and the attempt to build a foundation, these words have a great impact on them.
As spiritual miners, in fact, the path of cultivation for most people can basically be seen at a glance.
Not to mention the foundation building stage, in fact, many people may not even be able to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining.
Compared with these young geniuses who have joined the Tianhe Sect, they are far behind, whether in terms of qualifications, age or cultivation.
Of course, among the crowd, only Li Qing had a firm look in his eyes.
Even if he was born in a humble family, so what? He believed that his path would definitely not stop there.
At this moment, compared with other workers who were hit, Li Qing's determination to pursue the great way became even firmer.
