Chapter 1 Mysterious Stone Temple Mine. Eerie and depressing. Yu Xiao walked out of the deep mine tunnel covered in dust and dirt, and poured out the ore in the backpack to count it. "Today we have dug up a total of 300 kilograms of spiritual ore!" Steward Wang felt a little confused. Mining spiritual ore is hard and dangerous, so wages are paid on a daily basis, ten taels of gold for every hundred kilograms of spiritual ore. This sounds like a lot, but it is actually just the basic salary. Gold has no purchasing power and can only circulate among the lowest-level cultivators to exchange for the most basic living supplies. The miners' real target is the spiritual stone. It takes thousands of kilograms of spiritual ore to refine one spiritual stone. Places rich in spiritual minerals have a chance of producing natural spiritual stones.
Each piece dug out will receive a bonus of 100 taels, and a commission of one piece will be obtained if 30 pieces are dug out in total. The quality of this mine is average, and there are not many natural spirit stones, but most miners can always dig up three or two pieces every month. Yu Xiao has been working in the mine for two years. He has been very hardworking and conscientious, but the amount of spirit stones he has dug out is only one-tenth of that of ordinary miners. He has not yet collected ten pieces. Such bad luck is really rare. Hiding? impossible! Ling Mine is strictly managed. There are various sensing arrays around. The miners are just mortal laborers. It is impossible for them to hide the spiritual stones, let alone take them out of the mine. Manager Wang didn't think much about it. He picked up three gold bars from the pile and threw them over, then waved his hand impatiently. "Thank you, Steward Wang!" Collect your hard-earned money and walk out of the mine. The cold winter is like a prison, and the strong wind is like a knife. I can't help shivering. He wrapped his torn jacket tighter: "It's been three years... Life is so damn hard!" That's right. Yu Xiao is a time traveler! This world is vast and boundless. Immortal cultivators can live for thousands of years. They can turn clouds and rain with a flip of their hands, and move mountains and fill the sea with a snap of their fingers... But what does this have to do with him? The lowest level of casual cultivators are not much different from ordinary people. What’s more, I have not yet found a way to practice cultivation and am still a mortal. Yu Xiao had tried hard to find his destiny as an immortal, and had also dreamed of becoming an immortal. After practicing diligently, he hoped to become a free and unrestrained immortal who could roam the nine heavens. But the reality is cruel. He has no family background and his qualifications are mediocre. If he had not insisted on exercising before traveling through time and space so that his body was still strong, he would not even be able to do the job of a miner! Fortunately.
From today. Everything will change. Yu Xiao quickened his pace and returned to his residence. The spiritual mine is rarely visited by people, and there are continuous mountains for thousands of miles around it. Thousands of miners need to eat and live, and some of them have families who need a place to live, so a living area called "Baiyunfang" has gradually formed nearby, attracting many independent cultivators to live there, and the population now exceeds 30,000. Baiyunfang is not big. But all the internal organs are complete. It is also divided into three, six or nine grades. Yu Xiao lives in the shantytown with the worst conditions. In places like this, land is free and houses can be built by oneself. But they have to pay up to 200 taels of gold as protection fee every month. The miners worked from dawn to dusk, earning an average of 20 taels of gold a day. However, because Baiyunfang was isolated from the outside world and transportation was inconvenient, the most basic living supplies and the most common daily necessities were extremely expensive. You can imagine how difficult life is! If an accident happens or a serious illness occurs, the consequences will be disastrous! boom! Close the broken door! Return to the familiar cabin. The whole person relaxed. A suppressed excitement surged into my heart. First make sure there are no eyes or ears through the wall, then take a deep breath and disappear into thin air. In the blink of an eye. Yu Xiao arrived at an ancient stone temple. This "stone palace" is Yu Xiao's biggest secret. It is a portable space. No matter what time or place you are in, you can enter and exit it as long as you think about it, and outsiders cannot sense the existence of the stone palace in any way. Although I don’t know where the “Stone Palace” came from. But this is obviously the only hope to change your destiny! "I finally saved up 100 spirit stones!" Yu Xiao placed all his important assets in the stone hall space. This includes 100 crystals emitting white light. He would be a miner.
It is to collect spirit stones. 100 spirit stones are a huge sum of money for mortals. No matter what method is used to obtain them, it is very difficult and dangerous. Only in this way can the goal be achieved without being noticed and attracting attention and covetousness. Except for spirit stones. There are also small piles of gold bars. Probably a little over 12,000 taels. It was saved from two years of mining and frugality. Based on the international gold price of more than 550 yuan per gram before the time travel, the total value of this gold is about 3 million yuan. I don’t know whether it can be of any use in the future. A stone tablet stands in the middle of the stone hall, surrounded by ten stone doors, one large and nine small. Yu Xiao was standing in front of the largest door. Compared with the nine tightly closed stone doors, this door was wide open, and the scene inside was exactly the cabin he had just left. The other nine doors were closed. Currently cannot be opened. He turned his attention to the stone tablet. Only a paragraph of understandable text emerged. [Please collect 100 spiritual stones to activate the "Qi Refining Level" world! ] Follow the instructions on the ancient monument. Each of the nine stone doors represents a world. If Yu Xiao is in the main world, then these nine are different sub-worlds. Each world seems to correspond to a realm. Currently, it only meets the prerequisites of the "Qi Refining Level" world, but it requires collecting enough spirit stones before it can be officially opened. Yu Xiao didn't think too much about it. When the idea of delivering the task arises. The ancient stele lit up, the stone hall shook violently, and one hundred spirit stones released their energy, all of which was injected into the first stone door. 【Luck +100! 】 The ancient monument has new hints. I don’t know what the use of luck is. But now is not the time to worry about that. The stone door slowly opened. From blurry to gradually clear. A new world appeared before our eyes.
The setting sun shines on the blue brick alley. Most of the houses are brick and wood structures. On a street outside, footsteps and hawking voices can be heard. Suddenly a rickshaw passed by. The driver was wearing an old short jacket and a sweat towel around his neck, while the female passenger was wearing a dignified yet sexy cheongsam. "Could it be... the Republic of China?!" Yu Xiao was shocked. I feel a mixture of emotions. Although I had anticipated that the world behind this door was not my previous life, I still felt a little disappointed when I confirmed it with my own eyes. Fortunately, the style of this world was familiar, which gave me some comfort. A plane similar to the Republic of China. Then the purchasing power of gold will be high. Wouldn’t it be that the hard-earned ten thousand taels of gold have found a place to use their power? With such a large sum of money, it is more than enough to live a luxurious life in the Republic of China! The hard days of hunger, cold clothes, and exhaustion may be coming to an end! Not only that! Relying on these sub-worlds. Or there may be a chance to change your destiny! Yu Xiao walked into the door without hesitation. As he passed through the double doors and emerged into an unfamiliar alley, the world came alive. "I really came to a new world..." Yu Xiao bathed in the sunset and felt like he was dreaming. But at this moment, he seemed to discover something, "Hey, why is there a small sun next to this sun?" Isn't this the Republic of China? But the street scenes, clothing, and text are all similar to the style of the Republic of China? This world is not as simple as imagined. It is probably a seemingly real parallel dimension. It seems that we must be more cautious! Find a way to gain a firm footing first. As Yu Xiao was thinking this, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He saw the ancient stele in the stone hall vibrate, and two new lines of text appeared on it: [After reaching the realm of heaven and man, you can open the next level of the world! 】 [Gaining more reputation can breed more luck! ] (End of this chapter)
