After teasing the bearded manager, Zhou Shu felt quite comfortable. He leaned over to pick up the hoe and walked deeper into the mine.

The mine was secluded. The deeper you went, the more white mist there was and the colder it became. He had to put more spiritual power into the Nuanyang Jade Ring to resist the cold air.

not feeling well.

In this case, just to maintain the Nuanyang Yuhuan, his spiritual power may not be enough.

Walking further inside, Zhou Shu saw several busy cultivators.

The cultivators glanced at him and felt strange, but they didn't say anything and continued to fight with their picks.

Zhou Shu stood aside and observed carefully.

These cultivators were very gentle, using their hoes as brooms and sweeping them back and forth in the mine, making almost no sound, which was a bit weird.

Zhou Shu also moved his hands.

He soon discovered that this hoe was actually a magic weapon. As long as enough spiritual power was input, the tip of the hoe would produce spiritual vibrations, just like a magic trick, which would crack and loosen the stones around the veins. The design was ingenious.

It saves a lot of effort when mining.

But he didn't do this because his spiritual power didn't allow it.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The quiet mine immediately became noisy.

The cultivators outside yelled, "What are you arguing about? Do you know how to mine? Are you a barbarian?"

"That's not a hoe, don't mess around!"

There are also people who kindly explain, "Little brother, try to input spiritual power. Don't just rely on strength. That won't work."

"Thank you, senior brother. I understand."

Zhou Shu shouted, picked up the hoe and went further inside.

The clanking sound started again, but it was far away and no one complained.

Zhou Shu feels pretty good.

He has been practicing physical training for several months and has been eating spiritual food. In terms of physical strength, he is probably much higher than his spiritual strength. This way, mining does not take much effort, and after digging for a long time, the heat is surging all over his body, which is enough to

Competing with the cold outside.

Internal heat and external cold, the two breaths are constantly intertwining. Although the body feels a little uncomfortable, the muscles and blood are extremely active. This feeling is somewhat similar to soaking in medicinal liquid to temper the body. The body has a tendency to continue to strengthen, and the effect of body training seems to be good.

He simply gave up using Nuanyang Yuhuan.

With a hint of satisfaction, he said, "This place is very suitable for body training."

But trouble came again, he didn't know where to dig.

After hoeing for a while, I was out of breath and couldn't see any trace of the mine.

Zhou Shu stopped and looked around for a long time. There was white mist everywhere. No matter how good his eyesight was, it was difficult to see where there were traces of ore.

Just dig it out, just dig out a piece and see what it looks like.

Anyway, it’s the first day, there is no target limit, I’ll figure it out after I get back.

After digging until they were almost exhausted, nearly a thousand hoes were used. As expected, the hard work paid off, and a small gray-white vein appeared at Zhou Shu's feet.

"Is that it?"

He was a little excited but carefully pushed away the surrounding soil and rocks, and a piece of iron ore was completely exposed.

The light gray ore is sparkling with crystal light, feels as cold as ice, and is very rich in spiritual energy. Mist crystal iron is extracted from it.

Mist iron is a second-level cold iron that is widely used in the world of immortality.

Looking at this piece of iron ore weighing less than two kilograms, Zhou Shu felt a little confused.

It's definitely not possible to dig like this on your own. I have no spiritual power and can only rely on strength, and I don't know the secret of finding minerals. It only takes two kilograms and it took more than an hour. Forty kilograms, digging for a whole day without rest is not enough.

The task is really difficult, so you just have to complete it when you are assigned to it. You can't let the bearded manager laugh, let alone Liu Anmin's trick.

If Zhou Shu gives up his chores, not only will he not get any contribution points, but he will even have his benefits deducted and be expelled from the sect.

"This thing is similar to the aura of a low-grade spiritual stone. Can I use Xiao Gun to find it?"

An idea flashed in Zhou Shu's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right, "Xiao Gun is too sensitive to spiritual energy, and he is so fat... If he doesn't work hard, he should be killed and eaten."

Thinking of this, he felt much better.

Zhou Shu picked up the iron ore, picked up the hoe, and walked toward the exit.

There were two cultivators who were not digging, but were chatting with hoes, "Lao Zhang, how much did you dig today?"

"Barely seventy-three, not even close to eighty."

"It's not bad. This newly opened mine is better. It has more ore. I wonder how the new guy is doing. Can he give it a try?"

"What's the use of the newcomer? He's only at the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm. Let's take a look first."

"I can't say, it depends on luck."

Zhou Shu came over, and the two people were still talking to themselves, without even looking at Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

After walking out of the mine, the air cooled down for a while, and he walked up to Xu Lie with the iron ore in hand.

Xu Lie glanced at him, with a hint of disdain still in his eyes, "I actually found a piece of it. I am worthy of congratulations for achieving such results in two hours."

Zhou Shu ignored his sarcasm and said, "Manager Xu, count the pounds. I will make up for the shortfall today."

Xu Lie was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's quite interesting to have this thought. Don't worry, I will remember it for you."

Zhou Shu put down the iron ore and hoe and walked directly down the mountain without saying anything.

Whoosh.

A small jade bottle flew from behind and landed in front of him, accompanied by Xu Lie's rough voice, "Eat it, or you won't even think about coming tomorrow."

Zhou Shu was slightly startled, turned around, with a trace of anger on his face, and squeezed the jade bottle in his hand tightly.

"Steward, what do you mean?"

He has always controlled his emotions well, but since he started, he has been treated unfairly so much that he can no longer bear it.

Xu Lie said calmly, "Looking at the ice slag you are covered in, you must have dug it out with physical strength, right? You don't have enough spiritual power, so you rely solely on physical strength. You even want to use cold mist to temper your body, hoping to kill two birds with one stone?"

Zhou Shu took a look at himself and saw that he was indeed covered in ice scum. It was probably caused by sweating profusely before. The sweat came into contact with the cold mist and finally condensed. He didn't notice it.

He looked at Xu Lie coldly, "So what?"

Xu Lie snorted, "You have some thought in using the cold mist to temper your body, but with your little ability, you still want to resist the cold mist here? Ignorance! Although you can't feel it, the cold air has penetrated deeply into your body.

, if you don’t use Yangchun Pill to get rid of the cold air that falls into your body, you are just going to lie down for half a month. When you come back to mine in the future, you must either use your spiritual power honestly, or..."

After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Shu was stunned for a while, then sat down cross-legged and began to check with hesitation.

After this inspection, he was immediately shocked.

I was busy mining just now and had never used my spiritual power, so I didn't even notice it. Only now did I realize that the problem was serious.

As Xu Lie said, the cold mist has penetrated into the body, the blood is somewhat stagnant, and there is even a thin layer of frost outside the walls of the Qi vessels.

If this continues, let alone lying down for half a month, the Qi meridians may be damaged again.

He quickly opened the jade bottle, took out a fiery red pill, looked at it for a while, and then put it into his mouth.

The elixir melted quickly, and the warm current flowed from top to bottom, flowing through all parts of the body. Waves of white smoke emitted from his whole body, which gradually dissipated after a quarter of an hour.

After his body returned to normal, Zhou Shu stood up slowly and looked around, but couldn't find Xu Lie to thank him, so he had to go down the mountain.
