Breaking the Void and Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 14 Mining Apprentice

Deacon Liu heard that the art Yin Xiuxuan chose was not forging, which he was praised for, but mining, which was not chosen very much in most years. Although he was puzzled, he ignored him and made a note of it and reported it to his superiors.

One day, four deacons, three men and one woman, came to the small courtyard.These four deacons are all people that Yin Xiuxuan is familiar with, and they are the four of them who led them to study the basics of the four arts.

Through the preliminary study of the Four Arts in January, everyone understood what they were good at.The four people came here to lead the newcomers to learn the four arts.After a while, the teenagers in the yard stood beside the corresponding deacon according to their choice of specialization.

Among them, four are alchemists, four are forging, two are mining, and three are collecting herbs.Originally, if they were assigned according to their preferences, the alchemists with the most beauties should be the most popular among the teenagers, but alchemy is a delicate job, and it must be done with a delicate mind, so most of the teenagers who think they have no talent have not signed up for this project, and forging is also the most important thing. In this way, the final distribution means that there are slightly more people refining the two items, and fewer people collecting the two items.

However, this situation is not the end result.After choosing a specialization for the first time, the disciples of Liantang will have an adaptation period. If they are suitable, they can continue. If they are not suitable, they can switch to other specializations, but they only have one chance to switch.If the two specializations fail to meet the standards, they will be kicked out of the inner sect and become peripheral disciples.It is this item that makes teenagers pay attention to their own reality when choosing.

After that, the four deacons took the teenagers away separately, and they returned to the courtyard only in the evening.

After the meal, Wei Jiang came to Yin Xiuxuan's room, and the two exchanged the information they got.It turned out that Yin Xiuxuan and another young man named Li Cheng were first brought to the tool room by a deacon named Wu Lingyun to select the tools they used, and then they went to the weapon room to pick up the weapons at hand, and finally explained the actual mining process. Precautions and grading of mining specialization.As for Wei Jiang, his experience was similar to that of Yin Xiuxuan, except that the selection of tools and weapons was replaced by the selection of alchemy furnaces and various alchemy tools.

As for the grading of specialization, the four arts are similar. For example, mining specialization, the lowest level to the highest level are: mining apprentice, mining craftsman, mining master, mining master, and mining master five items.Among them, mining apprentices are disciples during their studies; miners are apprentices who can complete mining tasks independently; miners have more than five years of mining experience and have mined more than ten catties, such as black iron ore. Craftsman upgrade; mining master is a miner who has more than 20 years of mining experience and has collected more than [-] catties of precious ore to upgrade; as for the top mining master, he has more than [-] years of experience and has collected [-] catties Miner master upgrade for the above rare ores.

However, these rules are not dead. If you can collect enough treasures across levels, such as a miner who has collected more than [-] catties of treasures in less than five years, you can directly upgrade and become a miner without counting the number of years.But in fact, there are almost no such upgrades, because the number of years is easy to mix, and treasures are hard to find. Even Yin Xiuxuan's father has been in the mountains for many years, and he only accidentally got a piece of black iron ore the size of a finger. It is more professional, and it is difficult to find a few taels of such treasures in a year, so the higher the level, the fewer the number.

Similar to miners, alchemy specializations are also assigned levels based on years, alchemy appearance, and alchemy success rate.

Now in the Heishuimen Refinement Hall, the deacons need to be above the master level, the chief deacon must be at least the best among the masters, and the hall master and deputy hall master must be above the master rank.As for the master level, there are not many people in the entire refining hall, and they are all old and unable to handle things.

Yin Xiuxuan and others have just chosen to specialize, so they can only be regarded as apprentices, and they are apprentices among apprentices, basically without any years of accumulation and practical experience.

At night, Yin Xiuxuan put all the tools and items he had chosen into his rucksack, performed the Xiantian Gong several times, and then fell asleep.On the second day, under the leadership of Deacon Wu, he left Heishuimen and headed towards a forest in the north.

Outside the forest, Deacon Wu pointed out several mine veins that were being mined, and told the two that it was Heishuimen that was mining ordinary copper and iron ores, and what they were looking for in the mountains were mainly high-quality products above ordinary products, such as refined iron ore, refined iron ore, Copper ore, etc. Compared with ordinary ore, these ores contain less impurities and are pure in texture, which is just right for the edge of a sword, which is the best portrayal of the so-called "good steel is used on the edge of a knife".

After entering the mountain, Deacon Wu began to distribute the affairs of the three of them.After asking the two about their choices in martial arts and their current situation, Deacon Wu learned that Yin Xiuxuan was naturally hovering on the first level of innate skills, and his mountain-climbing skills had a small success with the success of his internal strength. ; As for Li Cheng, he chose the ferocious Mang Niu Jin and the equally strong Crouching Tiger Fist. His progress was about the same as Yin Xiuxuan's.After all, if there is not much difference in aptitude between second and third-rate martial arts at the same time, no one will be too powerful.

If the two were to fight, there would definitely be a situation where Yin Xiuxuan ran all over the field and dared not approach, and Li Chengkong was unable to use his strength.

Deacon Wu made the final arrangements. He would observe the location of the ore veins, and Yin Xiuxuan would go to mine. As for Li Cheng, he would stand by and guard against unusual situations such as ferocious animals.

After the division of labor was completed, the three began mining work.

To say that this Deacon Wu is really capable.After traveling through the mountains and forests, from time to time, you can find high-quality ores in some places. If the terrain is not very dangerous, you can ask Yin Xiuxuan to fetch it. If the terrain is dangerous, you can either mount your own horse or give up.And its observations are six out of ten, even among miners, it is also a very good result.After the collection, he will also inform the two of the observation points one by one, which can be regarded as due diligence.

During the mining process, whenever Deacon Wu called Li Cheng to pay attention to his surroundings, some threatening things such as bobcats and wolves would appear. When he saw the fierce beast, Deacon Wu didn't say anything in advance, and only when it got close, he shot fiercely. Although he didn't say that he would kill it with a gesture of his hand, he either beat it to death or drove it away without much effort.

As for the distribution of the ore, the ore obtained by Yin Xiuxuan will be divided equally between the three, while the ore obtained by Deacon Wu will be kept by himself. Yin Xiuxuan and Li Cheng have no objection to this division.

There is no sun and moon in the mountains, the three of them stayed in the mountains for an unknown amount of time, and they only had to wait for a few days of dry food, and the three of them had a lot of money in their bags.Deacon Wu gave an order before starting to return.After returning to the Black Water Gate, Yin Xiuxuan calculated that he had stayed in the mountain for more than [-] days.

Patting the package on his body, Yin Xiuxuan handed over the fine ore collected to the deacon of the warehouse, and calculated that it has reached the standard for that month.Yin Xiuxuan returned to his room happily, but Wei Jiang was waiting for him in his room.

When Wei Jiang saw Yin Xiuxuan, he exclaimed "Savage", angrily telling Yin Xiuxuan that he wanted to break up the relationship.

After playing and joking, the two talked about their respective experiences in detail again.Yin Xiuxuan said that he had mined a piece of high-quality iron ore on a certain day, and Wei Jiang said that he had refined a batch of high-quality medicine that day and was praised by the deacon.

During the detailed discussion, Wei Jiang also told Yin Xiuxuan about the recent movements of the inner hall disciples. It seems that after the last incident, those inner hall disciples have gone a lot more peacefully, but his heart to spy on the female disciples in the alchemy room is not dead. He came to peep every time, but was always discovered by the disciples of the refining hall, who was pulled out of the previous incident, blushed and drove away.

However, the disciples in the inner hall were reluctant to drive away, but there were also new disciples in the foreign affairs hall who came to spy on them because of their wealth and wealth. After all, the foreign affairs hall does not have the same advantage in martial arts as the inner hall.Yin Xiuxuan didn't express anything when he heard the words.

Wei Jiang talked about which female alchemy disciple was beautiful, and which one seemed to be interesting to him.Yin Xiuxuan had no choice but to let it go.

Half the night, the two went back to their rooms and fell asleep.
