Qiu Fei walked up the path.
Find the cave with the number 132 plate, which is halfway up the barren mountain.
As Liu Xi said, the location of the cave is high, the light is sufficient, and the spiritual energy is rich. It is indeed much better than most caves.
Qiu Fei discovered that a formation was arranged at the entrance of all caves. Once opened, it would emit a bright white halo, isolating the cave from the outside world.
This kind of formation can well isolate the interference of sound, color and light from the outside world, making it easier for cultivators to concentrate on their cultivation.
The key to unlocking the formation is the nameplate.
Once you move in, the cave is bound to the nameplate, and the owner can enter and exit freely without any hindrance by virtue of the nameplate.
Qiu Fei strolled closer to the formation, and sure enough, he passed through the formation completely unimpeded and entered the cave.
The cave is not big, two or three feet deep and over one foot high. The furnishings inside are rudimentary, except for a large smooth stone slab and nothing else.
Fortunately, Disciple Pavilion distributed a number of daily necessities. Qiu Fei took the things out of the storage bag and laid them out on the stone slab one by one.
It took a moment to clean up.
Qiu Fei lay down and relaxed his body and mind. Next, he would face the hard life of a miner.
Qiu Fei thought of something.
He stood up, took out the basic martial arts boxing skills, basic internal skills and mental skills and the "Disciple Manual" issued by the disciple pavilion, and read them carefully.
Since it is basic martial arts and mental skills, it is a piece of junk on the street.
The basic boxing technique distributed by ancient Xuanmen is a set of "Fuhu Fist", which has limited power and can only exercise muscles and bones.
This kind of basic boxing technique can generally be purchased by families with some wealth, so that the children in the family can practice it and lay a solid foundation since childhood.
The same is true for the basic internal skills and mind method, called "Breathing Adjustment Method", which is used to help cultivators adjust their body and mind and enter tranquility.
These basic martial arts and techniques are naturally available in the Qiu clan.
Moreover, Qiu Fei has been practicing since he was a child. Not to mention he knows it by heart, but he is very proficient in it, so there is no need to look further.
If you want to truly practice the martial arts and mental skills of ancient Xuanmen, you can only wait three months and pass the test of the elders of the Chuan Gong Hall, and then you can go to the Library Pavilion to select.
Qiu Fei opened the "Disciple's Manual" and read it carefully.
To become a disciple of the Ancient Xuanmen, you must naturally understand the rules of the Ancient Xuanmen. Otherwise, if you accidentally violate them, it will be too late to regret.
The manual records in detail the rules, regulations and taboos of the ancient Xuanmen, as well as an introduction to each department of the sect.
Qiu Fei found the section introducing the mining workshop.
Only then did he realize that there were actually as many as three to four thousand kinds of ores mined in the mining workshop, which was dozens of times more than what he had encountered in the family school.
Things like cold iron, black iron, black jade, phoenix blood stone, lapis lazuli, violet stone, cuprite, amethyst water jade, red flame heart, etc. This is the first time Qiu Fei knows about it, and he has never heard of it before. Pass.
It seems that the foundation and inheritance of a sect is much deeper than that of a large family, and the two are incomparable.
All the ores are recorded in the manual with pictures and texts. All the new disciples have to do is to remember the colors and shapes of these ores.
Otherwise, if a rare ore is placed in front of you, but you discard it as a piece of waste rock, why are you digging it?
Qiu Fei knew that these mined ores were only raw stones, mixed with a large number of impurities, and had to be sent to the blacksmithing workshop for calcination and smelting.
After calcining and smelting, the impurities in the raw stone are removed, and the solution is poured into molds of different specifications to obtain pure ore.
The ore at this time can be used directly by cultivators to refine weapons or forge.
Such as spiritual stones.
When it was mined, it was a heavy and heavy yellow-brown stone that cultivators could not use directly for cultivation.
After being calcined, smelted, and impurities removed, and then subjected to a certain procedure of precise processing, it becomes a crystal clear spiritual stone that exudes rich spiritual energy.
Such spiritual stones can only be used by cultivators for cultivation.
Qiu Fei was lost in thought when he suddenly felt something in his heart. He stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave and listened for a while.
Then, he opened the formation and walked out.
Contrary to the quiet environment inside the cave, there is a lot of excitement outside the cave.
It turned out that the miners had returned from a day's work. Nearly a thousand people were crowded together, making it a dark area and noisy.
Qiu Fei looked at the group of senior brothers who had been mining all year round. They were all sallow and thin, tired and depressed.
At this time, a man passed by on the path in front of Qiu Fei's cave. He couldn't help but glance at Qiu Fei, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He stopped and asked in a rough voice: "Boy, are you new here?"
The tone was quite rude.
Qiu Fei glanced at him and said softly "hmm" without making a sound.
"Bring it here!"
The man stretched out his rough right hand towards Qiu Fei with a look on his face.
Qiu Fei looked at each other doubtfully.
The man was in his thirties and was at the fifth level of the Yin Yuan Realm. At first glance, he looked like an old disciple who had been in the outer sect for many years.
"Newbie fee."
The man said confidently: "Eighty taels. After you hand it over, no one will dare to do anything to you if you walk sideways in the Shiba Mining Area."
"What if I don't pay?"
Qiu Fei sneered.
The man's expression changed.
His face immediately became ferocious, "If you don't hand over, I will let you taste the consequences of not handing over immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, he punched Qiu Fei in the chest.
Qiu Fei was also unambiguous, and immediately concentrated his attention, focused his eyes, and activated the analytical function of his eyes.
When faced with people who are higher than himself, Qiu Fei never puts others down.
[Analysis target: Bao Laosan, fifth level of Yin Yuan Realm, attack power 400, distance three feet. 】
[Analysis results: The speed can be reduced by 750 times, and the threat level is three. 】
At the same fifth level of the Yin Yuan Realm, Bao Laosan's attack power reached 400, fifty points higher than Qiu Wei and Gu Minzhou. Even the speed reduction was reduced, and the threat level also rose to level three.
It can be seen that after training in the ancient Xuanmen, Bao Laosan's strength is 10% or 20% stronger than that of outside cultivators of the same level.
However, facing Qiu Fei's "golden finger", Bao Laosan's fate is doomed.
Without hesitation.
Qiu Fei punched the opponent hard in the face.
How could Bao Laosan withstand this sudden punch!
He immediately screamed, his body rose into the air, fell down the hillside, and rolled down the mountain like a ball.
Rolling down, screaming all the way.
The screams also alarmed the miners who had just returned from mining, and they all looked up to watch.
Cave No. 132 is dozens of feet away from the ground. Fortunately, this barren mountain is mainly made of empty soil and there are no solid rocks.
The man rolled all the way to the foot of the mountain. Although he suffered some hardships, he was not seriously injured.
However, his face received a heavy blow from Qiu Fei, and blood oozed from his nose. The blood stains were mixed with dust and stained all over his face.
He looked very embarrassed.
Someone recognized him and said with a sarcastic smile: "Isn't this Brother Bao San? What's the matter, are you drunk as soon as you come back?"
Brother Bao San was so dizzy from the fall that he couldn't even stand upright when he got up. He opened his mouth and cursed, "Why are you drinking? I have someone plot against you!"
The man asked in surprise: "Who is so bold as to plot against you, Third Brother Bao?"
"it's me!"
A childish voice came from behind.
When everyone looked, it was Qiu Fei who had descended to the bottom of the mountain and came straight to the third brother Bao.
Qiu Fei didn't want to make the matter a big deal.
However, if the matter of collecting protection fees is left alone and settled hastily, it will only increase the arrogance of the other party.
Now that he has been offended, Qiu Fei wants to take the opportunity to make the matter bigger, to establish his power in public, to scare those who still have such thoughts, and to avoid eternal trouble.
"That's the boy!"
Third Brother Bao immediately shouted loudly, "A mere new disciple who has just arrived in the mining area is so arrogant. If you capture him, Third Brother, I will reward you heavily!"
"Am I arrogant?"
Qiu Fei took a step closer to Brother Bao, with a sharp look in his eyes, "You already have extra money to reward others, so why are you charging me a newbie fee?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.
It turned out that Third Brother Bao had dirty thoughts when he saw that the other party was a new disciple.
Usually, most new disciples are timid and fearful of getting into trouble. Once threatened by their senior brothers, they will just obediently pay a sum of money and settle the matter.
Unexpectedly, Brother Bao San met a tough guy today. He didn't buy it and started fighting as soon as he got up.
Moreover, they still have the upper hand.
It seems that Brother Bao San is going to have bad luck today.
"What do you want to do?"
Brother Bao San was forced by Qiu Fei and couldn't help but take a step back.
"beat you!"
After Qiu Fei said that, he punched out.
At this moment, Brother Bao San was in a daze after the fall, and his mind was not fully clear yet, so there was no way he could escape.
Immediately, he was punched in the face again, his nose was bleeding, and the scene was very bloody.
The onlookers were shocked when they saw it.
This young man was too bold. He dared to attack his fellow disciples as soon as he arrived. This kind of thing has never happened in all these years.
Could it be that this newcomer has some profound background?
At this moment, Qiu Fei had already thrown five or six punches, hitting Brother Bao San in the face, beating him until his mouth and eyes were crooked, and his face was beyond recognition, making it unbearable to look at.
Finally, Brother Bao San grunted and passed out.
Qiu Fei would not worry about Brother Bao San's injury.
He was very measured in his actions. Brother Bao looked miserable, but his injuries were not serious, and his muscles and bones were not damaged. He could recover after resting for ten and a half months.
"What are you doing? Do you want to overthrow the world?"
Suddenly, someone outside the crowd shouted loudly.
When the disciples who were watching heard the sound, their expressions changed drastically and they scattered like birds and beasts.
Qiu Fei turned around and saw Zhong Mouchun, the captain of the Shiba Mining District, striding over with a group of people.
Zhong Mouchun looked at Brother Bao who fell to the ground unconscious, and then looked at Qiu Fei standing aside, knowing what was going on.
This is not the first time that Brother Bao has blackmailed a new disciple.
In Zhong Mouchun's view, it is not a bad thing for a new disciple to be blackmailed once or twice to let him know the dangers of reality in advance.
As long as it's not excessive, he won't pursue it.
Unexpectedly, today he witnessed a situation where he was beaten instead of blackmailing.
He was very curious about how Qiu Fei, who was at the third level of the Yin Yuan Realm, could defeat Brother Bao, who was at the fifth level of the Yin Yuan Realm.
The short and fat Liu Xi walked out from behind Zhong Mouchun and inspected Brother Bao San's injuries, "Captain, this guy Bao Laosan is just unconscious and his injuries are not serious.
However, I estimate that I will have to stay in bed for ten and a half days. "
Zhong Mouchun stared at Qiu Fei, "Since you are so good at fighting, I will do as you wish, Liu Xi, and adjust Qiu Fei's mine to number 35."
Liu Xi said "Ah" and said in surprise: "Captain, Xiao Liuzi just suffered a tragedy in Mine No. 35...this..."
