C2928 Guarding the Mine?
Jiang Ting used his Divine Sense to observe the jade slip and found that his task was very simple. He had to go to a mine about a hundred miles away to guard it for a month. He didn't have many contribution points. Three points.
It seemed like it was a pity.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ting revealed a slight headache. A hundred miles away, guarding the mine. This mission was not difficult. With a mere hundred miles of distance, no one would dare to cause trouble.
After all, the Purple Frost Sect was one of the biggest sects in Tian Lan. There must be a lot of experts. Who would dare to come close and cause trouble?
What made him feel helpless was that if he went to guard the mines and wanted to cultivate, he would not have the dense spiritual energy in the Purple Frost Sect's area. His cultivation speed would drop drastically.
Not going?
He was an ordinary person with no background, and he did not have the slightest strength. Where did he get the right to choose?
"I hope I can spend more time cultivating at the mine." Jiang Ting murmured. He looked at the sky and the direction, then used the Body-Lifting Technique to leap towards the night sky.
...
Because he had the Purple Frost Sect's token hanging on it, he did not encounter any obstructions or criticism when he left.
Moreover, because he already possessed a cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining and was rushing at full speed, he arrived at the mineral vein mentioned on the jade slip at dawn the next day.
The lode was located at the foot of an open-air mountain, at a huge, deep mine. Around it, there were countless wooden rooms that were covered up.
Because dawn had arrived, Jiang Ting could see that many of the wooden rooms had people getting up and walking towards the mine.
Among those people, there were strong men and white-haired old men. A few of them had bright eyes, but most of them were filled with grey, as if they had already hoped to walk forward.
What made him most surprised was that among the people who had brought their pickaxes to mine, there were actually some people with cultivation bases!
Before long, a lean young man quickly approached: "You have received the guarding mission?"
His voice was not high and mighty, nor was it close. ... Yes, it was as if he was treating a passerby.
Jiang Ting immediately retracted his gaze and cupped his fists. "That's right. May I know how to address you, senior brother?"
The aura of the person who approached them was extremely strong. He was no weaker than Zhang Ping and Dong Kai, who had introduced them to common sense. Clearly, he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Yu Zheng."
Pausing, the person reached out his hand: "Bring your mission token over to take a look."
Jiang Ting took out the jade slip and handed it over.
Yu Zheng inspected it with his Divine Sense and threw the jade slip out. "Keep it well... Xu Zhi!"
At the end of his sentence, he suddenly roared.
"Senior Yu, I'm coming." A person quickly approached from afar.
When he got closer, the man's skin was dark and he looked a little shifty-eyed. In short, when he looked over, his intuition told Jiang Ting: That Xu Zhi shouldn't be a good person.
Yu Zheng did not care about that and turned around to leave. "This is the junior brother who came to guard the mine. Take him to the mine and keep an eye on it. Don't make any mistakes."
Xu Zhi hurriedly nodded his head. He smiled apologetically with a hint of flattery in his voice: "Alright, I'll handle the matter. Don't worry, senior brother."
After Yu Zheng left, Xu Zhi turned around: "Follow me."
His voice was so high and mighty that no one could tell what he was talking about. Before this, there was actually a flattering and smiling scene.
In just an instant, Jiang Ting was sure that this was a lowly person.
If you didn't provoke him, you would definitely set him up behind his back. Perhaps you wouldn't be able to kill him, but it would make people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Either you don't provoke him, or you just stab him to death!
In between his emotions, Jiang Ting did not show any emotion, but his eyes showed some flattery. "Junior brother Jiang Ting greets senior brother Xu."
He had just joined the Purple Frost Sect, and he only wanted to cultivate quietly. He did not want to get involved in all kinds of troublesome things. There was nothing wrong with acting. As long as his cultivation base was high enough, these petty people naturally wouldn't dare to touch the tiger's whiskers.
He only needed to act to avoid trouble. ... Why did he have to oppose this small figure for no reason, and add so much trouble to himself?
"You're not bad." Xu Zhi clearly enjoyed it, and his voice was full of praise.
Jiang Ting followed behind him and continued to flatter him. "You flatter me, Senior Brother. How can Junior Brother compare with Senior Brother? I can see that Senior Brother Yu trusts Senior Brother very much."
While the two of them were happily chatting, Xu Zhi brought Jiang Ting into the mine. After making many turns, they quickly arrived at an open space.
This open space was surrounded by eight ore vein routes, and at least a hundred people were crowded around it. They were mining in the middle of the eight routes. What they were mining was a type of black metal.
Name, Black Iron This kind of metal ore was not precious in the cultivation world. It was an ordinary ore, but it consumed a large amount of energy. As for its exact value, Jiang Ting was not clear.
He did not know how to forge, so he could not estimate the value of the ore vein.
After arriving here.
Xu Zhi turned his head and patted Jiang Ting's shoulder. "Junior brother, don't say that I am not taking care of you. You will be guarding this place for the next month. You are all ordinary mortals."
"Thank you, senior brother."
After saying that, Jiang Ting took out a Spirit Stone from his storage bag without anyone noticing. "Junior brother, I can't thank you for your good intentions... Please accept this."
Xu Zhi's eyes instantly narrowed... Spirit Stone!
The value of a Spirit Stone was not low.
One had to know that Jiang Ting could only get ten Spirit Stones from the Purple Frost Sect in a month... It seemed like a lot, but if he used them to cultivate, it would consume a lot of them. Who else could have it?
After all, Jiang Ting had tried to absorb them before. At the same time, he used his Divine Sense to observe them. He was very sure that a Spirit Stone would be used up in one day of cultivation!
When he first entered the sect, the Purple Frost Sect had given him three Essence Cultivating Pills and ten Spirit Stones. Whether it was pills or Spirit Stones, Jiang Ting had no use for them. The reason was to get rid of some troublesome people.
Previously, he only had three days to cultivate. If he used up the Pei-Yuan Pills and Spirit Stones, it would be impossible for him to break through. He might as well keep them for now, just like this.
Today, he had given away the Spirit Stone. Next, as long as he didn't intentionally offend Xu Zhi, he wouldn't be able to break through. Then, this lowly person would naturally not suddenly target him.
Intense blood boiling? Dissatisfaction towards darkness? This was something only hot-blooded youths would do. Even though Jiang Ting was only a sixteen year old youth, it was a pity that he had those millions of years of memories with him. How could he be muddle-headed?
If he had the time to be hot-blooded, he might as well quietly cultivate from left to right. If he had the time to compete with others, he might as well leave that time to cultivate.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
While Jiang Ting's thoughts were flying.
Xu Zhi took the Spirit Stone without leaving a trace, "Junior brother, as expected, senior brother did not misjudge you."
After saying that, Xu Zhi turned around and left.
However, just as he lifted his foot, he thought of something and said softly, "Junior brother, do you know the benefits of guarding this place?"
"Junior brother does not know, please enlighten me." Jiang Ting revealed a surprised expression... His emotions were very calm.1
He could already tell that Xu Zhi had obtained some benefits. Coupled with his attitude just now, there was a high chance that Xu Zhi was going to explain the hidden rules of this place to him.
Xu Zhi, however, did not know what he was thinking. Instead, he said softly, "The people here are all ordinary mortals."
