Chapter 151 Will You Come to Save Us?
After a brief excitement, Shang Yunzhi quickly calmed down.
He pretended to be very greedy but also a little worried and asked the man in black: "This Phoenix Blood Mine is good, but what if I help you and you want to kill me to silence me? Phoenix Blood Mine is such a precious thing, are you willing to share it with me?"
What Shang Yunzhi needs to do now is to delay time as much as possible. After all, he is not a real weapon cultivator. If these people ask him to refine weapons and he reveals any flaws, he will be finished.
The leading black-clad man seemed to have expected him to ask this question and immediately said, "If you don't believe me, I can make a contract with you."
Shang Yunzhi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Then let's sign it now. Only after we have the contract can we talk about other things."
Seeing how impatient he was, the men in black felt even more contemptuous of him.
They promised to give this man the phoenix blood mine, but they didn't say how big it would be.
There is a piece of ore that is half a person's height, and there is also a piece the size of a fingernail.
If this man's magic weapon is really useful, then I will reward him with a piece of ore as small as a grain of rice, as a burial companion for this kid.
Shang Yunzhi had no idea of the plans made by the men in black.
He waited until several people had finished writing the contract, then read it over carefully and confirmed that there were no problems before he carefully put the contract away.
The man in black found it strange that he did not sign the contract, but he just thought that this cultivator was cautious and did not think about it any further.
He asked, "I've given you the contract, now you should take out the things, right?"
Shang Yunzhi smiled apologetically when he heard this: "Well, I would like to give you the magic weapon, but I sold the magic weapon to the Qingxiao Sect's mine before, and I can't take it out now."
A man in black immediately changed his attitude, grabbed Shang Yunzhi by the collar and pulled him up: "How dare you play tricks on us!"
"No, no, no, how dare I! I really didn't expect that you would be interested in my mining tools. The Qingxiao Sect offered me a high price of 10,000 spirit stones before, and I really couldn't afford it." Shang Yunzhi tried hard to smile and said cautiously.
This excuse was thought of by Xie Liuyin for him, telling him that if he really couldn't delay, he should just tell them this first and ask them to find the materials for refining the magic weapon, which would also help him buy more time.
Shang Yunzhi hurriedly added: "But you can rest assured, I can refine such a magical instrument again, and the previous mining magical instrument was refined according to the mining of spiritual stones. If I refine a new one, I can make some slight changes. This will make it easier to mine Phoenix Blood Stone!"
The few people saw that he was serious and seemed to really want to do something for them.
The leader of the men in black, who was originally somewhat dissatisfied, temporarily suppressed his unhappiness and planned to wait for this man to refine the magic weapon to see the situation before deciding when to kill him.
"Okay, that's what you said. If you can't give anything in the end, you will have to consider the consequences yourself." The man in black finally nodded.
Shang Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Yes, I still need to ask a few brothers to help me find some materials."
"You are a weapon cultivator, but you don't have any materials for refining weapons with you?" The man in black who was pulling his collar didn't quite believe it.
Shang Yunzhi looked timid: "I used up all my spiritual stones and materials when I refined the first magic weapon. That's why I was in such a hurry to sell the magic weapon and earn some spiritual stones back."
There was nothing wrong with this explanation, so the men in black believed it.
Shang Yunzhi then told them the materials he had memorized in advance one by one, and asked them to buy the best one if possible, so that the magic weapon refined from this would be more useful.
Seeing that he still dared to make a request, the men in black scolded him a few more times without any courtesy, until Shang Yunzhi was so scared that he shrank his neck, and then they let him go.
The two men in black left with their mission. Among the remaining men in black, only one stayed here to guard Shang Yunzhi, and the rest went to the mine to supervise the miners.
…
Xiao Sun had been captured in this underground mine for five days. He took a bite of the hard biscuit and drank a big gulp of cold water. Only then did he soften the biscuit little by little and swallow it.
Five days ago, even if such a pancake was placed in front of him, Xiao Sun would not even look at it.
But now, such a hard-to-swallow pancake is actually considered delicious to him.
Thinking back to the days when he had vegetables and meat for every meal at the Qingxiao Sect mine, Xiao Sun couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Seeing his state, the miners who were captured like him patted the young man on the shoulder silently and said, "Don't think about those things. Eat the food quickly, otherwise when the supervisor comes, you won't be able to keep even this little piece of bread."
After hearing the reminder from his companions, Xiao Sun no longer had time to cry. He quickly wiped away his tears and finished the biscuit in a few bites. His empty stomach finally felt a little full.
When he was first captured here, Xiao Sun also thought about escaping and resisting. But every time he disobeyed, the supervisor's whip would fall on him as if it had eyes.
After being hungry for three days and having to mine ore non-stop, Xiao Sun finally became obedient, because he knew that the people here were different from the cultivators of Qingxiao Sect.
If he dared to confront them again, he would really die here.
Xiao Sun doesn't want to die. He wants to go back and wait until he earns some money so that he can buy meat for his parents.
"Brother Zhao, do you think the immortals from Qingxiao Sect will come to rescue us?" Xiao Sun couldn't help but lower his voice and asked his companions.
The miner surnamed Zhao was silent for a moment, and finally reached out and touched Xiao Sun's head: "Yes, the immortals will come to save us."
In fact, when he said this, miner Zhao himself was not clear. He just continued with this expectation, hoping that they could be rescued before the ore here was mined out.
Miner Zhao was abducted a few days earlier than Xiao Sun and knew more about the situation here.
He vaguely guessed that those beautiful stones that seemed to be stained red with blood must be more precious than spirit stones.
That's why the people here kidnapped them and forced them to work instead of recruiting them as miners.
But this is not a good thing for the miners, because the more precious the ore is, the more likely it is that once the mineral deposits here are mined out, the lives of these miners may be in danger.
Miner Zhao, who realized this, did not dare to show it, but was always worried about it in his heart.
But the supervisors were all powerful monks, and they had no chance of escaping.
Now, he could only pray like Xiao Sun did, hoping that the immortals of Qingxiao Sect would notice that something was wrong, find them, and save them.
Before the two men had finished their chat, the supervisor came with a whip and urged them to go to work.
Walking out of the miners' temporary resting place, miner Zhao looked up and saw just a group of skinny people with numb faces.
At this time, he didn't know that the rescue he prayed for was about to come.
