Chapter 6 Boxing Gym When I saw Chen Shi again. He was reduced to a heap of broken pieces. The culprit of the tragic accident was a spirit mining bug. This low-level spiritual beast looks like a watermelon worm that has been magnified a thousand times. They feed on minerals containing spiritual energy and like to build nests near spiritual mines. This insect generally does not prey on humans. It will only become ferocious and aggressive when it feels its nest is threatened. It is one of the threats that miners often encounter in their work. did not expect. See you in the morning. It turned out to be a farewell forever! Chen Shi is an old miner and many people know him, so it is inevitable that they feel sympathy for him.
"pity!" "Old Chen could have returned home a long time ago!" "I advised him a long time ago to quit while he was ahead, but he wouldn't listen!" "Not only is the person gone, but all my savings have been wiped out..." Yu Xiao felt a little upset. Uncle Chen has worked diligently for many years. At least ten spirit stones have been saved. This is a huge sum of money for a mortal. They certainly wouldn't dare to carry it with them, so they would leave it at the mine as a deposit and withdraw it when they return home one day. If he could withdraw in time, and use the five dollars to redeem himself, he would have at least five dollars left, plus the gold he had saved over the years, which could ensure he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. This death. Ten years of hard labor. Just making wedding dresses! Cruel? Maybe! But there are still a lot of young and strong miners eager to do the job! This tragedy is not the first. It won’t be the last one. This is the tragedy of the weak in a world where the strong prey on the weak. The next day, Yu Xiao came to the mass grave. The old miner had dedicated ten years to the Ling Mine. After his death, he didn't even have a decent grave. He was just wrapped in a broken mat and buried hastily. There are no tombstones. Mass graves are everywhere. They were all miners who died suddenly or due to illness. The remains were dug up and scattered everywhere by wild beasts.
"The weak have no dignity!" "I must become stronger!" Before leaving, Yu Xiao poured a pot of old yellow wine in front of the grave. His life was not affected and he still went to work mining as usual every day. Miners are in danger. But he needs spirit stones. Yu Xiao has a stone palace with him. If he encounters mining bugs or other accidents, he can instantly hide in the stone palace to avoid danger. This is a relatively safe and efficient way at this stage. A blink of an eye. Five days passed. Another spiritual stone was dug out. This time I didn't embezzle it and chose to hand it over. It is normal to have bad luck, and if no spirit stones are produced at all, it will still arouse suspicion. If Yu Xiao wants to continue working in the spirit mine, he cannot just spend without taking in anything. He has to hand over one or two spirit stones out of every ten. The prize for this spiritual stone is 100 taels, plus in the past five days, about kilograms of spiritual ore were produced every day, so a total of taels of gold were earned. It is only enough to pay one month’s protection fee for the shantytown. In Dajing, it can be exchanged for 25000 oceans, which is more than enough to arm and train a militia. Yu Xiao was not only busy with mining, he was also collecting intelligence and looking for people to learn skills from. There are many independent practitioners in Baiyunfang. These people also need to make a living. Some of them will openly accept disciples and pass on their skills. After analysis, Yu Xiao chose a master to learn from. Li Yan, 48 years old this year, lives in Mansion No. 5 in the first lane of the south gate of Baiyunfang. Choose him. There are three reasons. First of all, Li Yan has a good reputation in the market. Although he has a somewhat arrogant temper, he is well-known for keeping his word. Secondly, Li Yan openly accepted disciples and would teach anyone who was paid. Finally, Li Yan is the most powerful among the independent cultivators, and he is just the right person to enter the Tao through martial arts, so he is most suitable for me to become his disciple. this day.
After work and washing up. Change into clean clothes and enter the market. Baiyunfang is home to many low-level cultivators, so it is naturally much better than the shanty towns where miners live. However, it does not have the aura of immortals. Instead, it is bustling and has a strong urban atmosphere. The streets are full of messy stalls. Some stalls sell spiritual rice porridge, and the stall owners stir it while selling it. Some stalls were filled with strangely shaped magical herbs and rusty old magical instruments. Yu Xiao even saw a spiritual beast stall, with several cubs in simple cages, but it was hard to tell whether they were real spiritual beasts. A cultivator with good qualifications and background. Most of them were accepted by major sects. The independent cultivators who have some abilities also have their own caves for practice. More than 95% of the independent cultivators in Baiyunfang have reached the first or second level of Qi Refining. Although they have a certain amount of magical power, they are at the lowest level in the world of immortal cultivation. They gathered here. The main reason is to compete for the Ascension Order. This item is the certificate for participating in the Ascension Conference and the only chance for a casual cultivator to join a sect and change his destiny. Walk through the bazaar. No dealings with people. There are always some casual cultivators with strange temperaments and erratic moods. The minions at the bottom of the world of immortal cultivation are still people that mortals cannot afford to offend. Yu Xiao arrived at a large bungalow and saw a plaque hanging at the door with the words "Spring Thunder Boxing Hall" inscribed on it. From it he could hear the sounds of people pounding their fists to practice martial arts. "Who are you? What are you doing here?!" A burly man with a face full of flesh stopped Yu Xiao. "Learn from my master!" "Become my disciple? The tuition fee is one spirit stone, or five thousand taels of gold. Do you have enough?" Yu Xiao would definitely not take out the spirit stones, nor did he intend to hand over the gold easily. After all, in order to bring the gold to Dajing, he had consumed 2 points of his luck. The strong man has little patience. "You don't have any money, do you? You want to learn martial arts without any money? Get out of here!" "Although I haven't saved enough money, I have a good family heirloom that Master Li might like." Yu Xiao took out a brass pocket watch, which was a high-end item bought from a pawn shop in Meixian for 650 yuan. Both the craftsmanship and design were extremely exquisite, and it could be called a work of art even if it were passed down to future generations. The time in both worlds is twenty-four hours a day.
This pocket watch is still very useful "This is a painstaking work by the craftsmen in my hometown. It is worth at least ten thousand gold. Please give it a chance." …… A few minutes later. Yu Xiao walked into the compound. There were four or five guards and a dozen young men practicing martial arts. Didn't have time to see more. He was taken into the main hall of the mansion. Li Yan sat on the chair in front of him. He was playing with the pocket watch in his hand and seemed to like it. Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the other person. This is an old handsome man with slightly gray hair on his temples, deep eyes, and still handsome and extraordinary demeanor. He looks very pale and a little weak... But don't be fooled by his sickly appearance! This is a cultivator who has reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining, and he follows the path of entering the Tao through martial arts. He is one of the most capable independent cultivators in Baiyunfang! In Dajing, he is a top-level master of ancient martial arts! There are none in Meixian. There is none in Jiaying Prefecture. I’m afraid there aren’t many in Guangyue Province! What's more, Li Yan is not only at the peak of the first rank, but also a cultivator of the third level of Qi Refining. Therefore, he can use spells and magic tools. His combat power is far above that of the first rank masters of Dajing. He may even be compared with the legendary martial arts masters! If Li Yan lived in Dajing, he would definitely be a big shot admired by everyone. But in the world of cultivators, he is just a low-level casual cultivator who is quite capable of fighting. "What's your name?" "Yu Xiao." "what for?" "Working in the Spirit Mine." Li Yan frowned slightly. "You're a miner, why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts?" Yu Xiao was stunned and hesitated for a moment before he said, "Because I don't want to be a miner all my life. I want to see the wider world." "Haha, young man, it's good to be ambitious, but you have to do it within your ability. Everyone has their own destiny and you can't force it."
Li Yan shook his head. "Well, if you won't listen to me, I will accept you as my registered disciple. But according to the rules, I will only teach you for three months. Whether you can finally enter the sect depends on your own luck and ability." "Thank you, Master!" "You pay the fee, and I'll teach you martial arts. It's just a transaction. You don't have to call me Master. Just call me Master Li like they do." "Yes, Master Li!" "Cough, cough, cough..." Li Yan coughed violently, took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, poured out a pill and swallowed it quickly, which made his pale face a little rosy. "Wei Biao, take him away and teach him well. Teach him the Spring Thunder Breathing Method first." "Yes!" The strong man took the order. Yu Xiao appeared calm on the surface. My heart was already extremely excited. I have waited too long for this day. (End of this chapter)
