(Thanks to [Wu Xing] for the 10,000 starting point coins given by my friend, which really made Xinchen flattered!)

According to Xiao Jincheng, there are 32 mine caves of all sizes on Qingmu Mountain, and 16 each on the southern and northern foothills of the mountain range.

The Tianmo Sect controls the mine cave on the northern foot of the north, and the Xueshadow Sect on the southern foot of the south, and the peaks are bounded between the two sects.

Generally speaking, both sides will not cross the boundary to attack the other side's mine cave. However, the disciples patrolling the mountain are likely to be attacked. Because the Blood Shadow Sect also stipulates that killing disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect is calculated as the military achievements of their sect.

However, although the patrol was very dangerous, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect dared not stop, just in case there was a large-scale sneak attack by the enemy, there was not even a warning.

The sixteen mine caves controlled by the Heavenly Demon Sect are distributed evenly, and the eight peaks each control two.

The two mines controlled by Demon Soul Peak are numbered No. 15 and No. 16 respectively. The location is relatively remote and the mineral output is not very large. Currently, Xiao Jincheng is responsible for the unified command and defense of both mines. Xiang Jiangchen was arranged to guard the No. 16 mine.

The teams outside the mine are patrolled with disciples from Bafeng, and they are rotated once a month.

According to Xiao Jincheng, Jiang Chen and other new disciples had low cultivation levels. After reaching Qingmu Mountain, he would keep them staying in the mine cave. Under normal circumstances, they would not be asked to patrol.

After listening to Xiao Jincheng's introduction, the disciples were a little relieved. After all, they had heard that more than 90% of the disciples who died in battle on Qingmu Mountain were killed by the enemy while patrolling.

But if you stay in the mine forever, it is safer. At most, you can supervise the mortal miners to mine the spirit stone mine.

Afterwards, Xiao Jincheng introduced them to the precautions for guarding the mine cave and threw the map jade slips of the mine cave to them.

Jiang Chen and others hurriedly penetrated their spiritual consciousness into the jade slip and found that the records were very detailed, where there were forks, where there were monsters, where there were restrictions, and where there were mortal miners’ residences, all of which were available.

What made Jiang Chen most ecstatic was that in the jade slips in the mine cave, there was also an earth fire in its depths.

"Uncle Xiao, I think there seems to be earth fire in the No. 16 mine cave?" Jiang Chen asked carefully.

"Yes! Qingmu Mountain was originally a volcano, but it had not erupted for tens of thousands of years. But deep in the mountains, there was still lava earth fire." Xiao Jincheng nodded slightly, and then asked meaningfully: "What? Do you want to refine alchemy?"

After Jiang Chen won the first place in the Demon Soul Peak exam in one fell swoop, it attracted a lot of attention. With his qualifications as a spiritual root, his cultivation has grown so quickly, which naturally caused many people to discuss.

In this case, Jiang Chen naturally had to admit that he was an alchemist, because only in this way could he explain why his cultivation level was growing very fast. And this important news was naturally informed by Xu Bo and Xiao Jincheng.

"Well, if I have free time during my stay in the mine, I also want to refine some elixirs. Uncle Xiao or his brothers need elixirs, please come to me!" Jiang Chen hurriedly bowed respectfully.

Zheng Yiran, Ding Lei and others all looked at him with envy.

Alchemist is the three most popular professions that coexist with weapon refiners and talisman makers in the world. Moreover, because the alchemist is refined, it has a special effect on improving the cultivator's cultivation and breaking through bottlenecks. Among the three professions, it is the most important one.

However, alchemists have too high requirements for talent. Just the early refining medicinal materials can make people poor to death by consuming too many spiritual herbs. Therefore, there are very few cultivators who can become alchemists.

Everyone thought to themselves that Jiang Chen had such talent for alchemy, which could make up for his shortcomings in his spiritual roots.

"No problem! I will ask someone to build an alchemy room for you in the cave room near the underground lava. This is just a trivial matter!" Xiao Jincheng naturally agreed.

He was actually a little curious about how Jiang Chen's alchemy reached.

As for garrisoning in the mine, there were not many things that needed to be done. Mining was collected and transported by mortal miners, and supervision was also responsible for the supervision. Cultivators such as Xiang Jiang Chen only needed to maintain the operation of several formations and restrictions. There was indeed not much work in normal times.

In Xiao Jincheng's view, it is naturally more important to train an alchemist under his command.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that he could not refine alchemy in the mine, which would seriously put his cultivation level. Now that he solved this problem, he felt relieved.

After dinner, Xu Bo said goodbye and went back. Under Xiao Jincheng's leadership, Jiang Chen went to the market in Qingmu City, where he wanted to purchase medicinal materials. After all, he had to stay in the mine for a long time.

Although this Qingmu City is really small, it has all the internal organs. Although the city is not large and the market is small, it has all talisman making shops, herb shops, magic weapon shops, and elixir shops. And the varieties are quite complete.

Most of these stores are branches opened here by the stores of Tianmo City, and a small number of them are opened by foreign cultivators. However, no matter what kind of store it is, it requires a certain amount of tax to the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion will naturally send a guard team to maintain order in the city and ensure transaction security. This is the same as the Tianmo City.

Under Xiao Jincheng's guidance, Jiang Chen quickly found a shop that specialized in medicinal herbs. With Xiao Jincheng beside him, he was not afraid of showing off his wealth, so he bought herb materials worth ten thousand spirit stones at once.

Xiao Jincheng was not surprised that Jiang Chen could take out tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy medicinal materials at one time. It was obvious that Xu Bo had told him that the Demon Soul Ancestor had rewarded Jiang Chen with tens of thousands of spirit stones.

The reason why Jiang Chen had to buy so many alchemy materials at one time was because his cultivation level had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, which was only one line away from breaking through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.

If he can break through, he will be a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. This will greatly improve his strength. Even if he fights Liu Yang, he will not be afraid.

Just as Jiang Chen finished purchasing the medicinal materials and walked out of the shop gate with Xiao Jincheng, he suddenly heard someone yelling on the street: "Catch the thief! Two thieves stole the things from our shop!"

Jiang Chen and Xiao Jincheng glanced at each other and saw two fat monks with big heads and big ears and waists as water buckets running on the street holding two jade boxes. Their speed was extremely fast. Not to mention that ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators could not catch up, they would probably be difficult for monks in the early stage of foundation building to catch up.

They followed them with two monks who looked like the shop owner and the shop assistant. The cultivation level of these four monks was not very high, and they were between the seventh and nineth levels of the Qi Refining Period.

"Bold thief! He dared to steal things in my Qingmu City!" Xiao Jincheng was furious when he saw this and immediately took action.

Although he is not a meddler, it is not a good thing to have a thief in the city guarded by his sect. Moreover, with his cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building, it is easy and pleasant to take down these two little thieves in the late stage of Qi refining.

He waved his hands and immediately sprayed two black mist from his sleeves, and then condensed into two black snakes in the air. Then he shouted lightly: "Go!"

The two black snakes instantly flew towards the two fat thieves, tied their legs firmly.

Two fat thieves fell to the ground and fell a dog to eat shit.

At this time, the owner and the shop assistant rushed over and captured the two thieves. When they saw that Xiao Jincheng took action, they quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Senior Xiao for helping you! These two thieves are so hateful! They dare to steal the magic weapons in our shop..."

Both thieves were ashamed and were caught stealing things in the city. That would be a bad end. According to the temper of the law enforcement team of the Tianmo Sect, they would not only be killed, but also mostly be refined by souls.

They also didn't expect that their luck was so bad that they would encounter a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage when they ran away, and they were from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Perhaps the cultivators from the random cultivators or other immortal cultivators will not meddle in other people's business. But the cultivators of the Tianmo Sect will definitely be in charge, because they are guarding this Qingmu City. If even the safety of the merchants cannot be guaranteed, who dares to come here to do business?

At this moment, the people from the law enforcement team also arrived "huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When the people from the law enforcement team saw Xiao Jincheng here, they hurriedly bowed to the uncle of his fellow disciple.

At this time, the two thieves finally saw Jiang Chen behind Xiao Jincheng.

Their faces were shocked, because three years ago, Jiang Chen was just a cultivator at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage, but now he has become the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. This progress is too fast!

However, the situation is urgent now, and they didn't have time to think about why Jiang Chen's cultivation has improved so quickly. At this time, the two of them cried and wiped their tears, "Fellow Daoist Jiang!"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen was shocked. Unexpectedly, someone knew him in this place. So he hurriedly walked to the two thieves, looked carefully, and recognized them.
Chapter completed!
