Chapter 176 Don’t underestimate anyone The task was handed over smoothly. The person in charge talked about the mining situation of this black iron mine and also mentioned the issue of compensation for the miners who died in the accident in a casualty. Some monks, who clearly rose from the bottom, are fawning on their superiors but lack sympathy for those below them. I don’t know why. Wei Wenxin found it irritating, but as it was none of his business, he did not investigate further. Of course, she was not in a hurry to go down the mine, but planned to walk around the mine first. "More than a dozen sections of the mine tunnel have collapsed and it has been blocked for a long time. It would be better to find out the situation first." The person in charge secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take her around to see the place. Once Wei Wenxin has dug out all the ore, he will be able to leave this desolate place where he has been stationed for more than 70 years. The Flaming Mountain lives up to its name, with orange-red flames everywhere as far as the eye can see. The surface of the ground has been slightly reddish after years of being scorched, and the soil is loose and gravelly.
The flame can light up and go out at any time. To her, it is as cute as a naughty child, but to others, it is a nightmare. Especially the air was filled with a pungent smell of rotten eggs... Wei Wenxin glanced at them, turned around without changing her expression, and signaled everyone not to follow her. "Go do what you need to do. I'll call you if there's anything." When she mines, she can do it alone and doesn't even need a mining machine. Although the mine has been downsizing repeatedly, it does not mean that those who remain have no work to do. There's no point in wasting time here. "Yes!" Everyone agreed, but did not disperse. They just stayed where they were and no longer followed them like before. The scene fell silent, and Wei Wenxin finally saw the cowering figure at the end of the crowd, and couldn't help but secretly sigh. Although this is only a low-level earth fire, it is still quite lethal to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. And the further you go in, the greater the power. The casual cultivator was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He had been standing there for less than fifteen minutes, but even his hair was burnt. What is love in this world? It makes people not care about life or death. Wei Wenxin sighed and threw a protective necklace to her. "Turn on the protective shield and stay at the base. I'm going to go to the mine first." The person in charge didn't know the origin of this female cultivator. Seeing how caring she was, he thought that the two of them had a special relationship. He bowed slightly and asked Wei Wenxin: "Excuse me, Senior Sister, I wonder who this fairy is..." Wei Wenxin then remembered that he had not introduced anyone, so he said: "She is a relative of the victims. She came from far away to look for her husband. I saw she was traveling alone and it was on the way, so I brought her here."
The Flame Mountain is not very friendly to those in the Qi Refining Stage, so there is nothing wrong with bringing people here along the way. There has always been intense intrigue among the big powers. The female cultivator was just about to say that the head of her family was not dead, but when she arrived here, the feeling became more obvious. Wei Wenxin glanced at her casually, and she immediately lowered her head and remained silent, looking very sad. The female cultivator had already imagined the struggle for power eight hundred times in her mind, and secretly told herself to stand on the side of the senior sister. Little did she know that the reason Wei Wenxin didn't take her into the mine was simply because he thought she was a burden and didn't need her to lead the way. Due to its special geographical conditions, the soil layer of Huoyan Mountain has a certain effect of isolating spiritual consciousness. Here, other people may not be able to use their spiritual sense to scan the situation underground, but she discovered the trace of the target person as soon as she arrived. He was just a minor foundation-building cultivator, and he had been dead for more than half a year. There was no reason why his body had not decayed yet. Wei Wenxin was a little curious about how the other party survived. After arranging all these, she went into the mine alone. Black iron ore is a surface ore, usually up to ten meters deep from the surface. But this vein is particularly large and contains a lot of black iron essence. Wei Wenxin took a look around and basically understood the situation. Most likely, the person in charge is eager for quick success and wants to mine the black iron essence first. As a result, the mine was dug too deep, and the black iron ore above was roasted to a very crispy state under the special environment of the Flaming Mountain. When the mine below is large enough, a slight error in the structure will cause a collapse. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. After Wei Wenxin understood the situation, he came to the top of the man and started digging the mine step by step. This is not the mortal world, and the concentration of spiritual energy is okay. Wei Wenxin was doing two things at once, absorbing spiritual energy while consuming it. He first turned the useless waste soil into fine sand, packed it up in an extra-large storage ring, and transported it to the valley outside the mine. He then put the black iron ore and black iron concentrate into another storage ring. They really "scraped the ground" layer by layer, and soon the person was dug out. The male cultivator had an ordinary appearance, the kind that you wouldn’t be able to find in a crowd. Lying straight, his whole body stiff. Wei Wen was anxious to mine, so he ignored him and went to work on his own. When they encountered victims, they would carefully invite them out, have someone bring in a thin coffin, bury them, and then put them neatly into a large storage bag. When low-level cultivators die, they will not turn into flying sand in the blink of an eye like the great ones. After a long time, when they are dug out, only their bones and personal belongings will be left. Often, family members can only rely on these to identify the body. If someone died while working for the Wanjian Sect, according to the sect's custom, if there are elderly parents or young children at home, the sect will provide for the elderly and raise the children of the deceased. Many times, in order to get this subsidy, the family members of the deceased dare not say a word even though they know that their belongings have been taken away. Wei Wenxin will do this personally, so he doesn't have to worry about this problem.
She was mining, dumping garbage, and carefully digging out corpses. After a few days, she was inevitably tired. While she was taking a nap, the guy who pretended to be dead burrowed into the ground and ran away for a long distance. Probably some kind of adventure. When it comes to running, this guy is quite good. If Taoist Chunyu had such ability as him, he would have escaped long ago. Wei Wenxin saw it but didn't chase after him. For her, the most important thing is to clean up the mine as soon as possible and return to the sect to complete the task. Therefore, even though he knew that there was something fishy about this matter, he did not intend to take action now. The spiritual sense was always staring at the man. He saw him slip out from the back of the mine and go to the station. He didn't know what he did. Not long after he left, the female cultivator also followed him out. Then the two of them ran straight to the floating platform not far away, bought the nearest tickets, and quickly left the place. Wei Wen seemed to be thinking about something, but he was only stunned for a moment and then continued doing what he was doing. It took her sixteen days to dig the entire vein. All the storage rings on his body were filled to the brim. Seeing her relieved smile, she came over to ask them to dismantle the base and prepare to return to the sect together. The group of people who were stationed here were very excited. They packed their luggage overnight and followed Wei Wenxin onto the large warship specially sent by the sect. Unexpectedly, that night, the warship arrived at the sect, but did not fly to the floating platform. Instead, it entered the sect directly from the southeast and finally docked outside the back door of the Siguo Cliff Floating Plaza. There is also a floating platform here, but it is designed specifically for escorting prisoners and criminals. A group of law enforcement team members suddenly appeared from the empty rooms of the battleship, all with gloomy faces, and drove the group of people onto the deck. Everyone looked up in panic and saw Taoist Master Qingfeng and a group of upper-level officials standing on the second floor of the White Tower, looking at them coldly through the wide-open windows. Half a year has passed, it's time to check the bills. When I check, no one says anything. I won't tell you the specific expenses, so as not to make you afraid of marriage and having children. I went out to do some work today, which delayed my writing. The update for tomorrow's 7 o'clock will not be saved tonight, I will write it when I get up tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
