Chapter 1 Miner Slave
Lithotripsy!
Lu Ang raised the mining pick in his hand high, activated the spell, and then swung it down fiercely, cutting into the rock wall in front of him.

"Bah!"

The mining pick was chiseled into the hard mountain wall, and a yellow-brown light flashed from the pickaxe and spread across the mountain wall.

"boom!"

The mountain wall exploded, and countless rubble flew away, leaving a pit two meters in diameter and more than half a meter deep in its place.

Lu Ang took a breath, swept away the remaining gravel in the pit with a mining pick, and observed the pit carefully.

Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

I saw a small touch of white embedded in the rock wall at the lower left of the pit.

It’s a raw spiritual stone!
It’s still a big piece!It looks almost as big as two fists!

As long as you dig it out, today's task will be more than half completed, and the next step will be easy.

Lu Ang made a rough estimate. If he wanted to dig out the entire raw spiritual stone, he would have to use the stone crushing technique three or four times to break all the surrounding rocks to be safe. The spiritual power in his body was not enough. Too much.

So, he decisively sat on the ground, took out a thumb-sized raw spiritual stone from the cloth bag on his waist, held it tightly in his palm, and began to meditate to restore his spiritual power.

Hey, this day and day, when will it end?

While meditating, Lu Ang couldn't help but sigh.

He was originally a programmer in an Internet factory. On his way back to his rental house on a shared bicycle after get off work at midnight, he encountered a drunken dump truck and was sent to this world. He became a silk merchant and drowned in a coma. 's youngest son.

After a period of observation, he first felt that this was an ancient world with a martial arts background: there were martial arts knights who came and went; there were criminal thieves who were full of evil; there were martial arts sects such as the Gale Sword Sect and the Quan Dou Temple; and there was a military performance hall. , the war generals of the six gates of the Ministry of Justice are arrested...

After comprehensive inspection and consideration, Lu Ang felt that the imperial court was the most influential and powerful, so he begged his family to hire a husband, started studying and studying, and decided to advance in the imperial examination. When he became an official and gained a certain amount of power, he would engage in glass, soap, etc. Selling such things to accumulate financial resources, and then seek to dominate the government, open iron mines, obtain gunpowder, build muskets and artillery, form their own power team, and finally win the prestigious position above ten thousand people...

Unfortunately, when he went to the countryside to inspect his vast mulberry fields, he encountered a battle between two immortals in the sky.

Just the aftermath of the battle, the mortals below could not bear it at all: all the accompanying servants and guards were killed and injured almost instantly. If it were not for the quick reaction of the two loyal servants who had children from the family, they pushed Lu Ang into the ditch on the roadside, and then Protecting him with his body, Lu Ang might not be able to escape with his life that time.

From then on, there was no motivation to study.

From then on, there was no fun in the mortal world.

From then on, Lu Ang began to collect ancient books, read strange stories, visit experts, and verify visions... After three years of planning, he said goodbye to his family with difficulty, took a loyal book boy, and four masters to protect him, and began to travel around the world in search of immortality. .

Huangtian paid off his hard work. After three years of wind, frost, rain, snow, and hardships, he finally found his destiny on the top of an unknown barren mountain in southern Xinjiang:
It was the Immortal Cultivation Sect Liuhe Sect’s Immortal Ascension Conference.

On the small platform on the top of the mountain, there were about 500 people gathered: mostly a few martial arts masters with a bunch of boys and girls, and a few martial arts masters in groups or alone.Lu Ang also squeezed into the crowd with his men uninvited.

After waiting for a few days, three immortal masters from the Liuhe Sect arrived in the clouds. Regardless of their identities, they began to conduct assessments: asking their hearts to check their origins, and using magic weapons to test their aptitudes.

Then, Lu Ang got good news and bad news.

The good news is that he has the spiritual roots of water and wood, has the qualifications to cultivate immortality, and can practice immortality.

The bad news is that his water and wood spiritual roots are all low-grade spiritual roots of the lowest grade, and they have not reached the recruitment qualification line for the lowest low-grade spiritual roots of Liuhe Sect.

Fortunately, the three immortal masters of Liuhe Sect were not the kind of unreasonable people. After the pleading of the fifty or so poor souls with the same inferior spiritual roots on the scene, they still came up with two solutions.

One is to go back and forth wherever you go, but once every four years, you can bring your own children, or other found ones, and watch the spiritual children come here to continue participating in the Ascension Conference. If there are children with excellent spiritual roots, You can get rewards, including spiritual stones, pills, magic weapons, etc. If you have high-grade spiritual roots or better, you can also be rewarded with immortality cultivation techniques.

The other is to go to the Lingshi Mine of Liuhe Sect to be a mining slave for 20 years. After arriving at the mine, he will be given exercises. If he excels in mining, there are various spells to learn. After 20 years, he will You can gain freedom and explore the vast world of cultivation.

Naturally, Lu Ang didn't want to go back to the mortal world and bet on the illusory odds, so he decisively chose the second option and became a glorious spiritual stone slave.

Except for a few older ones, almost all of the other low-grade spiritual root users chose to be mine slaves.

Fortunately, this Liuhe Sect does not seem to be the kind of demonic sect that breaks its promises. After everyone came to the mine, they were taught an immortal cultivation technique called "Naling Gong" and also learned an earth magic technique. "Stone Breaking Technique" issued a magic weapon ore pickaxe that can assist the activation of "Stone Breaking Technique".After another ten days of study and familiarity with the work of the mine, everyone was dispersed and assigned to different mining areas, where they began to work for 20 years.

After a long memory, Lu Ang calculated that he had been mining here for more than three months.

Although this job is tiring, it is not too tiring, and there is no fierce foreman with a whip to urge you. It is just very monotonous and boring.

That is to get up every day to eat, then use lithotripsy, meditate, use lithotripsy, and meditate in an infinite cycle. In the evening, I will take the excavated raw spiritual stones to the steward in exchange for food.

If you don't work, you won't have food to eat. If you work more, you will eat more and eat well. As long as you turn in more spiritual stones, you will have all kinds of big fish, meat, wine and fruits.

It's a pity that they are all mortal food and do not contain spiritual energy.

I heard that the supervisors ate spiritual rice and spiritual meat, which had extraordinary effects, but it was a pity that Lu Ang had never seen it.

Fortunately, in this simple and careless life, Lu Ang still retains such confidence and hope.

After observing for a while, there was no one around. Lu Ang thought silently in his mind: "System."

A panel visible only to him appeared in front of Lu Ang:

-

[Real name: Lu Ang]

【Age: 17/85】

[Qualification: inferior water spirit root, inferior wood spirit root]

[Realm: Zero Level of Qi Refining (5/10)]

[Skill: "Naling Gong" Lv0 (5/10)]

[Spell: "Stone Breaking Technique" Lv0 (9/10)]

-

Lu Ang discovered this system panel not long after he traveled through time.

At the beginning, there was only the real name and age, and everything else was blank. Lu Ang also made many attempts, but unfortunately the system panel never changed.

You can neither chat with yourself nor issue tasks; whether you are being annulled by others or you are arrogating others; whether you are blaming others or being quarreled by others; whether you are doing good things or doing bad things; whether you are getting married or sworn in; Whether it's reading or practicing martial arts; whether it's playing chess, calligraphy and painting, or blacksmithing and brewing medicine... there is no change at all.

It wasn't until I became a mining slave of the Liuhe Sect and learned the skills and techniques that the panel responded and added the four contents of qualification, realm, skills, and techniques.

To sum up for now, only extraordinary elements can change the panel.

However, this is not the kind of proficiency panel that was common in online novels in previous lives.

If it's a proficiency panel, shouldn't you exercise your skills for a week or cast a spell once to increase your proficiency?
How come I have been practicing for more than three months, doing exercises for seven or eight weeks every day, and releasing the stone breaking technique nearly a hundred times, but I have only gained so many proficiency levels?
According to this progress, it will take me the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to advance to the legendary foundation building stage?

According to this progress, what difference does it make whether I have this system panel or not?

"Hey."

Sighing, Lu Ang stood up, raised the mining pick, and continued his work today.

Lithotripsy!
"Ding!"

With a sudden sound, the mining pick stopped in mid-air.

"Congratulations, your "Stone Crushing Technique" has been raised from Lv0 to Lv1, and you have won a chance to draw a lottery."

Why, you are finally here!
