When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 59 Underground on Golden Leaf Island

"Tell me about it." Li Fan perked up.

Xu He lowered his voice and said: "A few years ago, when the Xu family, the Xiang family and the Yu family were fighting for the Golden Leaf Island, I was quite surprised. At that time, the Xu family hired a group of monks as miners in the name of recruiting miners. , the signed contract is for a period of three years, and you are not allowed to leave the Golden Leaf Island within these three years."

"I was a little surprised at the time. The miners and monks on other Xu family islands did not restrict their freedom, but this matter had nothing to do with me, so I didn't pay attention."

"Recently, the first batch of people from Golden Leaf Island who have reached the end of their contract have come out of Golden Leaf Island, and news has spread. In fact, on Golden Leaf Island, they are not mining, but looking for a natural material called Yuanchalcedony. There is an underground treasure, and underneath the original mine, there is a huge underground world connected. The terrain inside is very complicated, and there are also miners in the Xiang family and Yu family. There is no order in the underground world below, and killing people to seize the mines is common. "

"Not many people know about this matter. It was only by chance that I found out about it."

After a pause, Xu He continued: "The contract period of the first batch of miners on Golden Leaf Island has expired. Now we are recruiting the second batch, and the salary has been increased, but the requirement is that they must be above the seventh level of Qi refining."

"It is said that in the mines, killing people and stealing goods is commonplace. I don't know how many people the Xu family can recruit this time. After all, their lives are in danger."

"Recruiting miners..." Hearing this, Li Fan understood.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The matter of Yuan Yusui has not been hidden for a long time. Now everyone with some channels knows the news.

However, there are very few people who are qualified to compete for this chalcedony.

Li Fan feels that the Xu family must have some at present, but they may not sell it. The spiritual stone in Li Fan's hand cannot see the light now. If he wants to get Yuan Jade Marrow, he still has to start from the mine.

Xu He said this and took out five bottles of pills from his body.

"This is the Dragon Heart Pill that the alchemist of the Baodan Forest asked me to bring you. I have refined five bottles this time, which is enough for you to use for a while."

Li Fan took the elixir.

He put away four of the bottles and handed the other bottle to Xu He.

"I know your son is learning the art of talismans and is mentally exhausted. Please take this bottle back to him for use," Li Fan said.

"Hey, how can this be good?" Xu He was willing to be humble.

Li Fan put the Dragon Heart Pill into his hand and said, "Don't be polite. If you really want to thank me, do something for me."

"What's going on?" Xu He asked.

"Find me a mining monk who used to mine on Golden Leaf Island. I have something to ask him," Li Fan said.

...

Seven days later, Li Fan met a miner who had mined on Golden Leaf Island on Wangxian Island.

Li Fan used the price of twenty low-grade spiritual stones to get first-hand information about the mines on Golden Leaf Island from this person.

Golden Leaf Island once produced spirit stone mines, but the veins have dried up, and someone accidentally discovered that there is a huge underground world under the abandoned mine veins on Golden Leaf Island.

This place is below the sea level, but connected to the undersea continental structure. It is extremely deep and complex, and the environment inside is complex, like a three-dimensional maze. If you are not prepared, you will easily get lost when you enter, and you may even be unable to get out for months.

The current situation on Jinye Island is that the Xu, Xiang, and Yu families each occupy the entrance to the mineral vein. Many people died in the previous fight on the island. Later, a fragile balance was gradually reached. All three parties felt that there was no point in continuing to add more lives. , so the monks in the foundation-building period tacitly agreed to a truce, and instead each recruited miners to collect resources in the underground world.

Among them, there are minerals such as chalcedony and some other mineral resources needed for cultivating immortals.

In the mine, someone discovered a monster-like existence.

Its body is pale and covered with scales. It looks like a humanoid, but it is much smaller than a human. It has low intelligence and has a group consciousness.

Those monsters are physically powerful, equivalent to physical cultivation, and their general strength is probably at the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining. They are scattered throughout the underground world.
The three families were unwilling to waste their own children in the mines, so they unanimously hired outside monks to work as miners. The Xiang family also sent all the prisoners in the family prison here to collect resources.

They say they are miners, but in fact their treatment is extremely poor.

In the mines, about [-]% of the people are likely to die of starvation and thirst after getting lost, or at the hands of underground monsters.

There is still a [-]% chance that they will die fighting for resources with each other.

The miner monk Li Fan found told himself that there were about sixty miners who worked together in the mines, and at the end of the three-year period, only 30 of them came back alive. It was really like exchanging their lives for spiritual stones.

However, if they can find resources, the Xu family will really reward them.

This miner monk is at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He has worked hard for three years and earned 450 low-grade spiritual stones. For a monk at his level, he is considered to have landed.

After getting this information, Li Fan added ten more low-grade spiritual stones and got a map of the underground world that he had explored from the miner monk.

After the purchase, both parties have settled their property.

After getting the map, Li Fan already made a decision.

Before the foundation building period, if he wanted to get the Yuanchalcedian, he could only go to the mines on Golden Leaf Island to find the Yuanchalcedian.

Li Fan did not act in a hurry.He still has to make some preparations.

The entrance to the mine is guarded by monks from the Xu family's foundation-building period. It is extremely difficult to bring out the chalcedony from inside.

However, Li Fan had no intention of bringing Yuan Chalcedony out.

He was preparing to directly break through the realm in the underground mines of Golden Leaf Island.

For this, he is waiting for someone.

Ren Yuanjing!
Li Fan counted the time and it was almost the day he agreed with Ren Yuanjing to plant the seeds of the Time Flower.

Over the past year, Li Fan has put a lot of effort into cultivating the seeds of the Time Flower and has made some progress.

He was waiting for Ren Yuanjing to come to Wangxian Island to find him in order to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

...

Li Fan did not expect that Ren Yuanjing did not wait for him to arrive, but instead waited for another unexpected news.

Another seven days.

In the morning of this day, Li Fan had just finished practicing and went to the medicine garden to take care of the elixirs. Suddenly someone came with a sword.

Li Fan stopped what he was doing and looked into the sky.

Li Fan knew the visitor, Xu Bin, the bodyguard of the Xu family.

Xu Bin came with his sword, hovered over Li Fan, and then landed.

He put away the flying sword, walked up to Li Fan and cupped his hand.

"Master Li Lingzhi, on the order of the clan leader, I ask you to go to the inner city of Lin City. The clan leader wants to talk to you in person." Xu Bin said.

Li Fan nodded and asked, "Why did you call me?"

"It seems to be related to the news about your uncle." Xu Bin replied.

When Li Fan heard this, his heart trembled.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Li Fan took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

He stopped to tidy up the medicine garden, released his flying sword, and headed to Lin City with Xu Bin.

Two hours later.

Li Fan Yujian came to Dragon Scale Island.

Dragon Scale Island is the largest island occupied by the Xu family, a cultivator family. It was named because its shape resembles dragon scales.

Li Fan and Xu Bin landed outside the gate of Lincheng.

Flying in the air is not allowed over Scale City. If you want to enter the city, you have to go through the city gate.

After Li Fan fell, he felt a little empty of spiritual power in his body.

The two of them walked all the way towards the inner city in the middle of Scale City.

With Xu Bin leading the way, there was no obstruction along the way.

Xu Bin led Li Fan to the inner meeting hall.

Li Fan's heart grew colder and colder as he walked.

The Xu family meeting hall is only opened when the heads and elders of the Xu family discuss matters, and outsiders are not allowed to enter easily.

Li Fan has arrived at the door of the meeting hall.

Xu Taichu, the head of the Xu family, Xu Jie, the sixth elder, and Xu Cunying, the second elder, were all among them.

"Li Fan, come in." A voice came from inside.

Li Fan took a deep breath.

He entered the council chamber.
