Chapter 28 Black Iron Concentrate Vein
The usually bustling Internal Affairs Hall has become much deserted due to the sect war, with only some outer disciples looking for ideal tasks.
Walking along the way, the outer disciples saw him and the inner disciple clothes he was wearing. They unconsciously stepped aside and bowed their heads to show respect.
There were fewer inner disciples, and Zheng Yi only saw two or three people along the way, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.
Everyone was in a hurry, without stopping, and without any exchange of greetings with him.
Going through the outer hall and walking into the inner hall, he was greeted by a wizened old deacon.
"Senior, this junior is a new inner disciple of the sect. This time I came to receive the inner sect's mission..."
"There are many things I don't understand, and I hope that the deacon will give me some advice. , give me some pointers."
While speaking, Zheng Yi turned his right hand, and a bag containing spiritual stones appeared in his hand, and it was handed forward to his hand quietly.
“Well...”
The old deacon must have seen this kind of thing many times, and there was no sign of anything strange on his face.
Using a technique even more skillful than Zheng Yi's, he quietly put away the bag.
At the same time, his spiritual mind penetrated into the unsuspecting bag, and a kind smile immediately appeared on his face, making Zheng Yi more pleasing to the eye.
Although it was just a casual exploration, the weight and quantity in the bag made him happy and very satisfied.
He could feel the number of no less than thirty low-grade spiritual stones as soon as he got it.
"Huh? Not bad, not bad!"
Putting the bag in his arms, the old man put a smile on his face and looked at Zheng Yi taking the lead.
It’s just that it’s unclear whether the sentence ‘not bad, not bad’ is a comment on Zheng Yi himself or Lingshi’s filial piety.
"My surname is Zhang, and I am the deacon of the Internal Affairs Hall. I will be responsible for the task arrangements for this half month."
"What is your name?"
The deacon Lao Zhang's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he asked with a smile.
"Reply to Deacon Zhang, junior Zheng Yi."
Take out the inner disciple token from his arms and hand it over. Old Deacon Zhang touched the token with the task list in his hand. The card directly displays all of Zheng Yi's information.
After checking it slightly, Deacon Zhang’s eyes couldn’t help but light up, and he said with a smile: “It turns out that you are still the descendant of Elder Gongsun.”
“It seems that you have only joined the sect not long ago, so quickly. I just want to do my best for the sect, and I am worthy of being a disciple of the old man.”
“I don’t know which task you are interested in when you come here this time.”
Lao Deacon Zhang doesn’t have much. No need to worry, just take people's money and eliminate disasters for them.
When he came to the Neiwu Hall, he gave him such a big gift. He would not believe it if Zheng Yi had no purpose.
People in the devil's path pay more attention to the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest, so their behavior is also extremely straightforward, which is reflected in their directness.
Since Deacon Lao Zhang collected the items, he did not hide them and just let Zheng Yi choose.
"The disciple is of humble strength. I hope to get a relatively safe garrison mission, and I hope the deacon can fulfill it."
Zheng Yi naturally couldn't choose the mission by himself, but explained his needs.
If he was really the descendant of Elder Gongsun, he could still slap his face on his nose, but unfortunately he is not.
The more I pull the wool over my head and borrow Elder Gongsun's name, the more trouble I will have in the future. If someone thinks of asking Elder Gongsun for advice in person, the gain will outweigh the loss.
At the very least, I cannot get away with the crime of using Elder Gongsun's name to make profits for myself. As for Deacon Lao Zhang, he made up his own mind and connected him with Elder Gongsun through some information in the inner disciple's token. This has nothing to do with him.
Sometimes it takes skill to borrow strength and use force to fake the power of a tiger.
"Huh? The garrison mission, is it safe?"
Deacon Lao Zhang didn't think too much. He directly checked the mission list according to Zheng Yi's idea, selected it for a long time, and finally confirmed a small The garrison mission of the mine.
That is a small black iron concentrate vein three hundred miles away from the sect. The garrison disciples expire this month and need to be rotated. Originally, inner disciples who were at least the fifth or sixth level of Qi training needed to be dispatched. Go ahead.
But now the sect is in urgent need of manpower, and many of the best disciples from the inner sect have been sent to the front lines. With Zheng Yi's current level of cultivation, he can barely serve as a substitute.
After all, the situation is ever-changing, and there is nothing wrong with adapting to changing circumstances.
With the authority of Deacon Lao Zhang, the Lord can still do this.
Then he showed the mission information in front of Zheng Yi, and told Zheng Yi the requirements and points of attention for garrisoning the black iron concentrate.
Then looking at Zheng Yi, he said with great certainty.
"Although this place is desolate, there are no powerful forces around it. There is only a small family attached to the Soul Capture Sect and scattered cultivators. It is absolutely safe."
Received the hand from Deacon Lao Zhang Zheng Yi looked at the information that came over carefully.
This is a small vein of black iron concentrate, with not much in stock. The reserves in it can only be mined for fifty or sixty years.
After years of mining, this vein of black iron concentrate has reached an advanced stage and will be abandoned within ten years at most.
There is only one Qi training family in the surrounding area, the Qi family.
In the early years, the Qi family had several strong men in the late stage of Qi training. However, an incident happened ten years ago, and the family was in civil strife. Several family monks in the late stage of Qi training died unexpectedly, and they fell into decline ever since.
Now, the Qi family's vitality is severely damaged. The strongest person is the current head of the family. He is on the sixth level of Qi training. The entire family is attached to the Soul Capture Sect and is regarded as the guardian family of the small black iron concentrate vein.
There are also a small number of casual cultivators in the surrounding area, but their strength is mixed, and there is nothing worth noting.
These all belong to the peripheral forces of the Soul Capturing Sect.
If an inner disciple who is in the middle stage of Qi training goes there, he can suppress the situation. As long as he maintains a stable mining speed of black iron essence and does not cause any trouble, it will be fine.
"Yes."
Zheng Yi looked calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart. The information displayed on it was exactly the environment he hoped for.
A remote corner away from the attention of high-level monks is just right for him to hide his secrets, survive his growth, and stay away from the complex relationships of the sect.
This vein of black iron concentrate is an ultra-small one. It is not easy to attract attention. Moreover, the surrounding environment is simple. There are no particularly difficult opponents, and there are no horns like those of high-level monks. The corner.
In addition, it is not far from the sect, and it is an almost deserted mineral vein. There is no need to worry about your own safety if there are strong forces nearby.
These fully meet Zheng Yi's own needs and requirements.
"Very good, as long as you are satisfied."
"This mission has been recorded in your inner disciple token..."
"Now that you have received the mission , according to the rules of the House of Internal Affairs, you need to rush to the black iron concentrate lode station within ten days. "
"The time of stationing this time is two years. As for whether it needs to be extended or rotated later. , It depends on the situation.”
Deacon Lao Zhang was also very satisfied. He just assigned a garrison task and got dozens of low-grade spiritual stones.
So he became more and more pleased with Zheng Yi, and his attitude became more and more amiable.
