The mine where the Black Cloud Sect is located
Today is the seventeenth day of their mining operation. Fifty thousand people have been mobilized, a far cry from the previous thousand or so.
Moreover, there are nearly five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators among them.
The work done in these seventeen days is equivalent to the results of two previous excavations that took nearly ten years.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators and thirty-two Golden Core cultivators had their cultivation sealed, and were placed under management.
The others had no sealed cultivation and could freely use spiritual power to manipulate magical artifacts and black sand.
The black sand refined by the Black Cloud Sect is inherently adept at corroding and excavating.
It's not surprising that they can move at such a high speed.
This is all because everyone was uncertain and didn't give it their all.
At this time, the exposed mountain area of the mine has expanded tenfold compared to before, and people are constantly going in and out of the dozens of newly excavated mine shafts.
The spiritual energy inside the mountain is mixed and disordered, making it impossible to cultivate or restore spiritual power.
They can only dig for most of the day, then come out to meditate and rest for the other half of the day.
Upon exiting, they handed their storage bags to the Golden Core cultivators outside, who used them to tally the amount mined.
"Elder Chen, I should have received 5,000 jin of first-grade ore and 300 jin of second-grade ore this time..."
Elder Chen casually scribbled a few lines in his notebook, then propped his legs up.
Hearing this man's words, he raised his head and glanced sideways at the disciple.
"Five thousand catties?"
"right!"
"Have you weighed it?"
"this...."
Zhang Han was somewhat taken aback by Elder Chen's question.
There's no scale here, so how can we weigh it?
Besides, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this weight can naturally be measured with divine sense, so there is no need to weigh it.
He had originally dug up over a hundred jin more to prevent the quantity from being too small, but now Elder Chen had simply written down a thousand jin less.
"Um... Elder Chen, I might have made a mistake with the first-grade ore, but I just handed over three hundred catties of second-grade ore..."
This time, Elder Chen didn't even bother to lift his head, and said impatiently,
"I didn't see any level 2 ore. The ore has already been stored in my ring for consolidation. Remember to let me know next time you find level 2 ore!"
Second-grade ore was certainly not mixed with first-grade ore.
Seeing Elder Chen lying through his teeth, Zhang Han could only swallow his anger and leave.
It is already established that the Penglai Sect belongs to the orthodox and orderly sects.
Although the Black Cloud Sect was once a demonic sect, its members committed numerous acts of murder, arson, theft, and robbery.
However, the Divine Eye True Lord has clearly stated that mining ores can offset sin points.
As long as you sincerely participate in labor reform, cultivating spiritual herbs, advancing in the level of pills, and even joining the Penglai Sect will not be a problem in the future!
If it were just empty talk, that would be one thing, but everyone watched as Ye Feng personally crushed the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Golden Core Pill, and even... the Nascent Soul Pill!
These elixirs, which outsiders would risk their lives to obtain, were nothing more than things that True Monarch Divine Eye could casually discard.
No one could help but believe it!
These Golden Core elders naturally understood this principle, so when they encountered disciples without a background, they mostly registered them with less than the required amount.
Those who are close to them, on the other hand, embellish the story extensively.
The Golden Core cultivators had their magical power and cultivation sealed, and Ye Feng didn't explain what kind of rules or regulations governed their management.
But their direct disciples can.
Write this down; you'll be able to exchange it for what you want sooner or later!
Ye Feng and Chen Ying, who were hiding to the side, saw this scene clearly.
But he showed no intention of revealing himself, and his expression didn't even change after he finished looking at it.
Overall, most people are still seriously mining.
But being a demonic sect, even when imprisoned, they naturally divided themselves into different classes, exploiting each other.
The Golden Core stage exploits the Foundation Establishment stage, the Foundation Establishment stage exploits the Qi Refining stage, and the advanced Qi Refining stage exploits the less advanced stage...
There are no mortals here; low-level Qi Refining servants are at the very bottom of the food chain.
Even the time for recovery was compressed to the limit.
They hadn't refined the black sand; they were simply mining it using their own abilities.
Even due to technical reasons, they are not as good as the two rogue cultivators recruited here in the past.
After looking around outside, it's time to go check on the two old men!
At this moment, True Lords Tie Yun and Wu Ma were in the mine management room.
This location boasts the most abundant spiritual energy within a radius of over ten kilometers.
After Ye Feng drove the spiritual vein underground, this place became almost equivalent to a level two spiritual vein, enough to supply one or two Golden Core cultivators.
However, both of them had been placed under the Five Elements Seal by Ye Feng, and he would come back every few days to reinforce it.
There is absolutely no chance of cracking it.
Wu Ma Zhenjun lay on the bed, watching Tie Yun Zhenjun meditate, and couldn't help but complain again.
"Senior brother, when do you think True Monarch Divine Eye will finally let us out? He's won the war to establish the sect, so he should be able to let us leave now, right?"
"Leave? Where to leave?"
Without even lifting his eyelids, True Lord Tieyun directly retorted,
"It's about going back..."
The spiritual veins of Black Cloud Mountain have all been drained. Even if they were allowed to return, the place would be a complete mess. What difference would it make whether they returned or not?
Wu Ma Zhenjun was momentarily dejected, but his eyes quickly brightened again.
"This Penglai Sect... doesn't seem to have any low-level disciples. Did True Monarch Divine Eye bring us here... to bolster the sect's strength?"
The blood pool left behind by the Blood Demon Venerable outside was cleaned up by people from the Black Cloud Sect, which suggests that the Penglai Sect didn't have many available personnel.
That makes sense, though.
Normal sects are established by starting from small forces. Only when the sect's patriarch's cultivation rises or the disciples soar to great heights will they gradually transition from a lower sect to a middle sect, and then slowly reveal their strength to become a sect recognized by all.
But Penglai!
However, Ye Feng acted single-handedly, starting by directly confronting them.
Apart from Ye Feng, whose combat power is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is a significant gap in the middle and lower-level disciples.
True Monarch Tieyun opened his eyes, glanced at True Monarch Wuma, and shook his head.
"Even if it's to bolster our strength, we can't possibly become his trusted core. You should first think about what he'll ask us to do, and how he'll get us to cultivate..."
As he spoke, an expression of admiration appeared on his face.
"The seal that True Lord Divine Eye placed on us contains all five kinds of spiritual power, and is balanced in the five elements, with each element generating the other. However, when it encounters the spiritual power we have just absorbed, it directly counters it. It can actually use all five kinds of spiritual power, and is balanced in the five elements... This seal is simply unsolvable!"
The Five Elements Seal initially absorbs all spiritual energy, making it impossible to perceive its mysteries. After absorbing all the spiritual energy, it transforms into a unified Five Elements entity, directly dissipating any external spiritual energy and preventing it from touching the core within.
However, True Monarch Tieyun discovered the core essence of the seal through repeated testing.
It has to be said that this is a very clever tactic.
Just then, the sound of applause came from outside the door.
The door was pushed open, and Ye Feng walked straight in.
"True Lord Tieyun is indeed powerful; he figured out my seal so quickly!"
After speaking, he gave the two of them a sharp look.
"Enough with the small talk, now, please gather everyone together!"
"It's time to settle the score..."
