I, the cannon fodder female supporting role, what happened to me?

The mineral veins Li Duojin invested in were in the mountains three hundred miles west of Riyue City.

On the way, he explained the situation of this mine to Sheng Xi and others in detail.

This is a black jadeite mine, and the main ore produced is black jadeite.

Black jade stone is hard in texture and is the main material for refining top-quality protective magic weapons. It can also be used directly as an attack point for attacking magic weapons.

Sheng Xi's tracing map burned by Feng San had a black jade stone on the scroll.

This kind of jade is expensive to mine and sell for a higher price.

Li Duojin was lucky to be the first to discover this mine and spent all his capital.

With this spiritual stone mined from the mine, he was far ahead in the competition.

But after problems occurred in the mine, his ranking plummeted.

Sheng Xi thought he was so impulsive: "You just put all your eggs in the same basket? Don't you even do risk sharing?"

Li Duojin puffed up his cheeks: "If you knew this was a huge profit, would you do it?"

Sheng Xi thought about it seriously and felt that she could.

Only by being decisive can you get it in vain!

Hesitate and you will lose!

"You did the right thing!" Sitting in the carriage of the exquisite one-horned horse, Sheng Xi highly affirmed Li Duojin's investment methods.

Li Duojin let out a long sigh: "Who would have thought that something would happen to me despite all the precautions I had taken?"

"When mining black jade stone, there will be miasma in the mine, but as long as protective measures are taken, these miasmas will not affect the monks."

"But after the mine collapsed, the protective instruments worn by the mining monks were destroyed, and seven monks died because of the miasma entering their bodies."

"I want to avenge them."

The tools for mining black jade stone are all high-level magic weapons, and at least a foundation-building monk can control them.

Foundation-building monks who can come to work in places like mines are usually very short of money.

Now that he has not made any money, people are still dead, and even the cause of the mining accident cannot be found, Li Duojin feels extremely uncomfortable.

The atmosphere on the carriage was a little solemn for a moment.

After a while, Sheng Xi asked, "What's the situation in the mine now? Is mining still going on?"

Li Duojin shook his head: "After the death, I sealed the mine and only sent people to watch from outside."

"That's strange to say, since I evacuated the mine, the mine has never collapsed again."

When mining ore, workers will constantly reinforce the mine.

After everyone evacuates the mine, no one continues to reinforce the mine. The miasma inside will continue to corrode the reinforced structure, and the mine should collapse more frequently.

But in fact, not a single collapse accident happened again.

Therefore, Li Duojin even more suspected that the frequent collapse of the mine was caused by humans.

As he spoke, the carriage stopped and everyone was already outside the mine.

The entire mountain was bought by Li Duojin, and his people were patrolling at the foot of the mountain.

There are no homes nearby, but there are many houses.

Some had huge chimneys, but no smoke came out.

Some of them look like private houses, with monks occasionally coming and going.

"Those are the alchemy workshops, and those are the rest areas for the monks."

"Now that the mine is closed, the monks no longer have to work. But I signed a contract with them. They can still live here before the contract expires."

Li Duojin introduced everyone one by one and got out of the car first to identify himself to the guards.

Soon, they were taken to the entrance of the mine.

The entrance to the mine, which is not spacious, is blocked by a stone-like magic weapon.

The stone magic weapon is surrounded by high-level formations and talismans, sealing the entrance tightly to prevent anyone from revolting and venturing into the mine to steal the ore.

There are also small railway tracks at the entrance of the mine, which are used for mining carts to transport ore to the metallurgical workshop at the foot of the mountain.

"Do you want to go into the mine to take a look?" Li Duojin asked Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi nodded. "Then take this with you. It's best to activate it before entering the mine."

Li Duojin distributed a golden wristband to each of them. The wristband was engraved with a blooming sunflower.

The wristband feels warm to the touch, like the warm sun in winter. Just a simple touch makes people feel warm all over.

Lu Xiang recognized the function of the wrist guard at a glance: "Is this a magic weapon used to dispel the miasma in the mine? It is also a high-level magic weapon."

Li Duojin nodded and warned again: "After entering the mine, the Sunflower Bracer must be activated at all times. Otherwise, the miasma inside will kill people."

Compared with low-level magic weapons, high-level magic weapons are not only more durable, but also help users save spiritual energy, and their performance is more stable.

In the world of cultivation, a place where human life is generally not taken seriously, Li Duojin is willing to provide high-level magic weapons to working monks, which can be said to be quite conscientious.

He knew that with the status of Sheng Xi and others, except for Xiao Liluo, everyone else should have suitable high-level magic weapons to protect their bodies.

But since he is asking them for help, Li Duojin will not be stingy with this expenditure.

After confirming that Sheng Xi and others understood what he meant, Li Duojin took out a magic weapon from the Sumeru Ring and fastened it to the outermost formation.

The formation and magic weapon that were originally running slowly were connected together and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"This passage can only exist for ten breaths, follow me." Li Duojin quickly jumped into the mine, followed closely by Sheng Xi and others.

It was very dark inside the mine, and all light was absorbed by the black jade stone. Even the monks could not see clearly.

Li Duojin sprinkled a handful of night-light pearls, which somewhat illuminated the scene around them.

The ore outside the mine has been mined, leaving only the bare mountain.

This place is divided into two areas by the mining monks. One is the work area, which is used to register and inspect the ore shipped out.

The other area further inside is a temporary rest area with many tables and chairs.

There are also teapots and other items in the cabinet against the wall.

Because they have not been used for a long time, these things have accumulated a thick layer of dust.

Li Duojin has conducted on-site inspections many times and knows the situation here very well. He introduced them one by one to Sheng Xi and others:
"There have been no accidents in this area, but the black jade stones prepared for export suddenly turned into powder a few times."

The black jade stone turned into powder can also be used, but it can only be used as a coating and cannot be used as the main material of the magic weapon, so its value has plummeted.

Moreover, black jade stone is one of the hardest minerals among the various minerals known in the world of cultivation.

Even if you want to cut it during the refining process, it takes a lot of effort. How could it turn into powder for no reason?

The black jade stone powder usually sold on the market is made of leftover scraps when refining other magical weapons as the main material.

"Have you checked the workers you hired?" Wen Zheming asked.

Li Duojin nodded: "Some of these workers were dug by me from other mines of the Li family, and some were newly recruited. I have checked them all and found no problems."

Regarding Li Duojin's kidnapping, he can use his own small treasury.

However, any competition-related expenses can only be incurred with competition funds.

In order to find out the mole, Li Duojin spent a lot of money, so that his ranking in the family competition was lowered.

All the previously mined black jade stones in the mine have been transported away, leaving only the empty mine cart and workbench.

Sheng Xi walked to the mine cart and seriously imagined the black jade stone turning into powder.

"Do you still want those black jade stone powder on the ground?" Yan Che asked Li Duojin.

There was actually not much powder on the ground. At a glance, Li Duojin couldn't see a single particle.

The Young Pavilion Master didn't care about this loss at all: "No more."

Yan Che's face was filled with joy, he knelt down and quickly put the talisman on the ground with his hands and feet.

A weak wind blew from the entrance of the mine, blowing up a corner of the talisman, but it was quickly flattened by Yan Che.

Xiao Liluo walked over and squatted beside Yan Che curiously: "Third senior brother, what kind of talisman is this? Can you find out why the black jade stone turned into powder?"

Yan Che kept patting the talisman on the ground in the direction of the wind, and said without raising his head, "This is called a sticky talisman. It can absorb all the black jade stone powder blown to the ground by the wind."

Li Duojin was surprised: "Is there such a talisman? After the powders are absorbed, can we find out the reason why they turned into powders?"

Yan Che: "No, I just want to pick it up and exchange it for spiritual stones. You said you don't want these powders, so if I pick them up, it's mine."

other people:"……"

Are you a little too money obsessed? (End of chapter)
