The westernmost part of the Northern Territory, the Fire Sand Mining Area.

The sound of the volcanic eruption was roaring, yellow sand filled the sky, and the sky and the earth were dark, which made people feel panic.

The sandstorm violently hit the barrier of the area under the jurisdiction of Tianxu Sect in the Fire Sand Mining Area.

Hot magma spurted out from the surrounding large and small craters, and occasionally a few drops of magma almost knocked down Le Feng and Su Yang.

Le Feng took the token and stepped into the Tianxu Sect's barrier with Su Yang, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Le Feng then glanced at the busy workers, and then hurriedly took Su Yang to a place.

I saw a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing the sect's uniform, with a mustache and a shrewd face.

He was lying leisurely in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, holding a pipe in one hand, taking a puff from time to time, and a pot of spirit wine in the other hand, humming an unknown tune, looking very comfortable.

Suddenly, he happened to see a worker who was carrying ore resting in a place, panting.

Snapped!

A spiritual whip instantly lashed the worker's exposed back, leaving a deep whip mark on it.

"what!"

The laborer was knocked to the ground instantly, with a mouthful of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he fell unconscious.

"Humph! How dare you slack off right under my nose? Is the whip in my hand not working or what? I'll beat you to death!"

After saying this, he was about to swing the whip in his hand again and swing it towards the worker who had already fainted.

"Senior Brother Li!" Le Feng suddenly said to the slightly plump male cultivator.

Seeing this, Su Yang also bowed and saluted Li Tong, "Hello, Uncle Li!"

Li Tong looked at Le Feng and Su Yang who suddenly came in, stopped what he was doing, and a smile suddenly appeared on his shrewd face.

"Hey, Le Feng? I remember that you are not a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall but the Internal Affairs Hall, right? How come you have time to come here today?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Li Tong's mind.

Because the majority of people coming here are disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall. They will send some Qi-refining disciples who have committed serious crimes to the Fire Sand Mine to do hard labor.

Le Feng smiled at Li Tong, and then said to Li Tong:

"This disciple took the initiative to accept the Fire Sand Mine mission in the Mission Hall, so the Internal Affairs Hall sent me to bring her here today."

It was then that Li Tong noticed Su Yang next to Le Feng. After listening to Le Feng's introduction, he looked at Su Yang as if he was an idiot.

Because how could any disciple with a normal mind be so stupid as to come to the Fire Sand Mine to suffer?

This female disciple was so stupid that she took the initiative to accept the jade token hanging in the mission hall of the Internal Affairs Hall. She was really mentally abnormal.

She is the first disciple in recent years to take on this task on her own initiative!

Apart from the other independent cultivators recruited by Tianxu Sect, most of the laborers doing hard labour here are Qi-refining disciples who have committed serious crimes.

"Since I brought her here, I'll leave now."

Le Feng stopped reminiscing with Li Tong. Feeling the scorching heat of the Huosha Mine, he shuddered slightly and flew away immediately.

Afterwards, Su Yang and Li Tong were the only ones left in this place.

When Li Tong saw Le Feng leaving without looking back, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and disdain flashed in his eyes.

"If you weren't a disciple of the Internal Affairs Hall, an inner sect disciple who was one level higher than me, would I be licking Bilian and grinning at you?"

He then looked at Su Yang who was waiting obediently on the side. He saw that this female disciple was very ordinary, the kind that would not be noticed if thrown into a crowd. Her cultivation level was also the fourth level of Qi Refining, and there was nothing special about her.

He was neither as harsh to Su Yang as he was to the laborer, nor as enthusiastic towards Le Feng.

Su Yang was the disciple who took the initiative to accept the mission, so Li Tong naturally would not beat or scold her at will.

Disciples who actively accept tasks have a deadline, and once the deadline is up, they can leave the Fire Sand Mine.

These disciples who were forcibly sent here by the sect will stay here to mine until they die, and they will never have a chance to make a breakthrough.

Then Li Tong said to her calmly, "Follow me! I won't be responsible if you lose me!"

Li Tong walked in one direction without looking back.

Su Yang naturally followed Li Tong closely.

As Li Tong walked, he introduced Su Yang:

"See? The areas covered by this formation are all mining areas under the jurisdiction of our Tianxu Sect."

"Once you leave this formation, you are no longer within the territory of our Tianxu Sect. I would like to advise my nephew not to leave the area covered by the formation without permission."

"Outside the formation are either the mining areas controlled by the Purple Thunder Sect and the Water Cloud Sect, or unowned desert areas where Qi-refining and foundation-building monsters roam rampant."

"If you, nephew, accidentally escape from the formation, I won't bother looking for you! You will be responsible for your life or death!"

Su Yang nodded slightly when he heard this, and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for your guidance. Su Yang will definitely keep it in mind!"

Seeing that Su Yang was somewhat polite, Li Tong snorted and continued to lead the way.

In the middle of the process, he introduced other layouts of the mining area to Su Yang.

Through Li Tong's introduction, Su Yang had a general understanding of the mining area under the control of Tianxu Sect.

The mining area under the control of Tianxu Sect covers a very wide area.

There are several mine entrances in the central area, through which workers enter the real underground mining area to dig for fire sand crystal ore.

The mining area controlled by Tianxu Sect is actually a formation within a formation!

The outer formation covers the entire Tianxu Sect area to prevent monsters from outside from invading.

The inner formation only covers the underground mining area, and the center of the formation is in the deepest part of the underground mining area. The center of the inner formation is guarded by a Yuanying Zhenjun.

Every worker entering the underground mining area needs to hold a uniformly issued token to enter.

If the token is accidentally damaged or lost, it will trigger the inner formation to kill anyone who does not hold the token.

The two walked for a while until Li Tong brought Su Yang to a dark and spacious cave entrance. Only a few luminous pearls embedded in the cave were emitting a faint light.

"This is it!"

Li Tong then casually threw a token to Su Yang.

"Drop a drop of your blood onto the token, and it will activate and record your aura. When you enter the mine, you must carry this token with you."

"This token can only be used by you. If anyone else holds your token, they will also be attacked by the inner circle. If your token is lost or broken, you will also be attacked by the inner circle."

"After entering the underground mine, you can come to me at the end of each year to pay your ore quota, or you can pay it every few years."

"As for you... you only need to pay 80 kilograms of Fire Sand Crystal every year."

"The aura stored in all the tokens can only last for five years. If you don't come up after five years, you will be directly attacked by the inner formation."

"Do you understand?"

Su Yang nodded slightly after hearing this, then walked forward with a storage bag in his hand and handed it to Li Tong.

"Uncle Master, this is a gift from my nephew to you!"

Li Tong looked at Su Yang who was on the road, took the storage bag, and couldn't help but stroke his mustache with satisfaction.

"You're quite perceptive. I'll begrudgingly give you some advice."

Li Tong pointed towards the bottomless mine, his eyes flashing with disdain, and said:

"The people down there are a bunch of ruthless people! Even though most of them are disciples of our sect, they are actually no different from the exiles."

"You have to be careful when you go down there with your thin arms and legs."

After saying that, Li Tong threw a pickaxe and a sheepskin map to Su Yang.

"This pickaxe is a rare item down there. I only gave it to you because you and I have a good impression of it. You must keep it safe when you go down there!"

"And this map. The underground mining area of ​​the Fire Sand Mine is extremely large, with many complex mining tunnels. The range of the inner formation only covers the part under the jurisdiction of my Tianxu Sect."

"If you accidentally get lost inside and leave the area covered by the inner formation of the Tianxu Sect, and enter the area of ​​other sects or unowned areas, you must be careful."

"The monsters underground are more ferocious than those on the surface in uncontrolled areas. You must remember this!"

After Li Tong finished speaking, his eyes revealed a shrewd look. He chuckled a few times and then left on his own.
