The group arrived at the teleportation platform and used it to head to Shiwu Peak. Not long after they arrived at the teleportation platform, they saw people coming out one after another. Each of them had a tool on their back. Judging from their appearances, most of them were the servants of the other three Heavenly Pavilions.
Li Chengfeng and the rest followed the crowd and walked for about half an hour before arriving at the foot of Shiwu Mountain.
This mountain peak was obviously different from the one Li Chengfeng had seen before. The previous mountain peak was lush and lush, with grass and trees everywhere. It was completely unaffected by the seasons and looked like a paradise. However, when he arrived at Shiwu Mountain, he could clearly see that the surrounding trees had withered and the grass had turned yellow. It was a clear sign that winter was coming.
Moreover, at a glance, this mountain was full of jagged rocks and caves. The entire mountain had been mined to form a spiral mountain road. In the middle of the mountain road, there was a mechanical lift embedded in the mountain. On the lift, carts of ores were being transported down.
Li Chengfeng asked curiously, "Aren't we supposed to be mining?
Why are the ores being transported down from above? "
Su You shielded his forehead with his hand to block out the blinding light. "Up there is a place to mine spirit stones, down there is a place to mine spirit jades and crystals."
Li Chengfeng already knew that magical weapons were not directly forged. Instead, they had to first make a good weapon, then embed a spirit crystal into the weapon. This was because only spirit crystals could store magical energy, while spirit jades could transmit magical energy. However, this was all, and this magical weapon could not be considered a real magical weapon.
A real magical weapon would have a strong sense of self after it leaves its owner's hand. It could fight on its own, without the need for its owner to control it!
This type of magical weapon required the soul to be refined. The soul of a demon or demon must be refined into the weapon. Of course, there were also people who used human souls to refine the weapon, but these were all evil and malicious magical weapons.
Only these magical weapons that were infused with souls, refined, and connected to their owner through their bloodline could be considered a real magical weapon.
Li Chengfeng thought to himself, 'I'll have to go to Crescent Valley again to capture a stronger demon and soul it.'
As he was thinking, Su You asked curiously, "What's going on over there?"
Tianjun pointed not far away and said, "Over there."
Li Chengfeng looked in the direction he was pointing and saw many people crowding around the entrance of a mine. There were about thirty to forty people, all gathered together as if they were watching a show. Faint shouts of anger could be heard from the crowd.
Li Chengfeng glanced at Su You, only to see a solemn expression on his face. Li Chengfeng and the rest walked over curiously, squeezing through the crowd to see a medium-sized, fierce-looking man beating up a young fellow disciple. This person was wearing the uniform of the Hidden Modesty Court, there was no embroidery, obviously a new disciple.
The young man was beaten until his head was bleeding. His body was curled up into a ball. His two hands tightly hugged the leg of the fierce-looking man, and he let out a miserable howl.
Li Chengfeng had always been a person who would help the weak and bully the bully. One look and he could not hold back his anger. He looked around and saw that all his fellow disciples were looking at him with sympathy, yet none of them stood up for him. He could not help but pull Su You aside and asked in a low voice, "Where did this person come from?"
Su You also knew the severity of the situation. He lowered his voice and said, "This is Shiwu Mountain's foreman, the servant of Hidden Brocade Court's Grand Senior Brother Qian Shanxue. His name is Xue Man, he's very powerful. Many cultivators like us are afraid of him, they call him the Little Tyrant.
Don't provoke him, or he'll definitely take revenge on you! "
Li Chengfeng suppressed his anger and asked the person next to him, "How did this person offend Foreman Xue?"
This person was small and skinny, he was angry but did not dare to say anything. When he heard Li Chengfeng's question, he said, "Isn't it because he didn't give the Little Tyrant any money?"
"What?
Money? "Li Chengfeng was shocked," Why do we have to give him money for mining? "
This person looked at Li Chengfeng strangely and said, "If he doesn't give him money, why are you allowed to mine?"
Along the way, Su You had already explained to Li Chengfeng: Mining does not mean you can take away whatever you dig. It's just like farming, the sect will collect taxes from the mine. The tax from the mine is very heavy, it's a full seventy percent. This means that out of ten pieces of spiritual jade, you have to give seven pieces to the sect. As for how these seven pieces are distributed, it's not clear.
But with such a heavy tax, they still have to collect money for mining?
Li Chengfeng grew up as a servant in Jianghu, he's used to blood sucking loan sharks, but he's never seen such a black-hearted rule!
Is this a cultivation sect or a gang?!
But even if they don't have money to give, they don't have to be so cruel. Are they trying to kill me?
Li Chengfeng raged and was about to step forward when Su You suddenly pressed down on his shoulder. Li Chengfeng turned to see Su You looking at him seriously, shaking his head slowly.
Li Chengfeng suddenly remembered his conclusion from two days ago: he had already offended many people in the Spiritual Mountain Sect. If he offended Grand Senior Brother Shanxue of Hidden Brocade Court as well … the consequences would be dire.
If that was the case, if Hidden Beauty Court's Grand Senior Sister saw him now, her first thought would be to silence him. Hidden Brocade Court's Zhan Qisheng and Huangfu Song would also want to tear him to pieces. Although Hidden Modesty Court had not offended anyone yet, looking at how they were following Hidden Brocade Court and Hidden Beauty Court's lead, it was likely that when Hidden Brocade Court and Hidden Beauty Court raised their butcher knives against him, Hidden Modesty Court would be the first to act.
Zhou Jieyi of Hidden Modesty Court was the best proof!
He had already offended this circle of people, he was already in a dead end. If he offended Grand Senior Brother Shanxue of Hidden Brocade Court as well … even with the Sect Master's protection, he would not be able to live in peace in the future.
Li Chengfeng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He asked Su You in a low voice, "Does Foreman Xue's payment follow the sect's rules?"
Dazed, before he could speak, the skinny disciple next to him sneered, "I've already flipped through the sect's rules and regulations, but I can't find this rule.
Li Chengfeng stared at Xue Man, his eyes narrowed slightly, "How much is the filial piety payment?"
The skinny disciple said angrily, "Fifty silvers!"
To Li Chengfeng, fifty silvers was not a lot, but to an ordinary family, it was a huge sum of money.
Hidden Sword Court and Hidden Modesty Court did not have children from rich and powerful families.
Li Chengfeng nodded slightly, "Then do you know his rules?"
The skinny disciple hesitated for a moment, not daring to speak.
At this time, Xue Man was also a little tired from fighting. His legs were tightly hugged, so he could only bend down and hit them with his fists. At this time, he straightened his back and took a few deep breaths, then with a ferocious face, he said, "Men, drag this dead man away!"
Two people came from the side and pulled the unconscious young scholar's arms away, then dragged him away. A long trail of blood was left on the ground, it was very horrifying. The people around them watched in horror as the scholar was dragged away.
At this time, Xue Man had his hands on his waist, pointing at the scholar who was being dragged away, and shouted, "Look closely, look closely!
Who dares to break my rules here?
Hmm?
This is your role model! "
