After the demonstration, everyone tried it out and found that it wasn't difficult at all.

However, it takes some force to separate the connected spirit stones when clipping them off.

Thus, repeating this action is the essence of mining.

"It really is a low-skill, backbreaking job."

Du Hongquan, who was standing to the side, shook his head slightly.

Manager Wu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you've all done a good job. Now, follow me into the mine, each of you to your designated spot, and get ready to start working!"

After the ten disciples entered the mine, they went down to a depth of about 100 meters.

They then discovered that the space inside the mine was much larger than the entrance, and there were many disciples scattered in different areas, collecting spirit stones.

Following Manager Wu's instructions, they went to the other positions and took over from the previous group of disciples who were collecting materials, and continued their work.

The previous group of disciples can go back to rest and wait for the next round of gathering.

Su Yun took a deep breath and started working.

He stuck the hoe in his hand into one of the spirit stones and pulled hard.

Suddenly, a crisp snapping sound was heard, and a spirit stone was separated and picked.

Su Yun put it into the storage ring given to him by Manager Wu.

The next two weeks will be spent like this.

"Fortunately, it only takes four hours a day, so there's plenty of time to cultivate."

This is much better than Su Yun initially expected, since it won't delay his cultivation progress.

For a full four hours, they collected the materials almost without stopping.

For these people, it's not tiring at all, just boring and tedious.

"Shouldn't such a low-level mining task be given to cultivators at the first or second level of Body Refinement? Why are you making us do it?"

Beside him, a cultivator at the eighth level of Body Refinement complained.

It feels like they're wasting their talents!

After hearing this, Manager Wu grinned and said, "Don't worry, there are even dirtier, more tiring, and less technically demanding tasks for lower-level cultivators to do."

After hearing this, the disciple could only remain silent and continue working.

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.

It was their turn to rest.

In these four hours, tens of thousands of spirit stones have been harvested.

"Alright, here's your reward for today."

Manager Wu distributed one hundred spirit stones to them, worth ten Qi-restoring pills.

After returning to their lodgings, the rest of the people washed up and rested.

Su Yun, however, remained energetic and sat cross-legged in his room to begin his cultivation.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In three days, Su Yun had become quite adept at harvesting spirit stones, and could almost collect them with his eyes closed.

"Would it be feasible to gather resources and cultivate at the same time?"

Such a thought arose in Su Yun's mind.

In the past, I always focused on calming my mind and calming my breath during cultivation. Now I don't know if I can multitask.

So he slowed down the collection speed slightly, and at the same time circulated his body-refining technique, trying to break through the eighth meridian.

After trying for about ten minutes, Su Yun found it worked!

Although the speed has slowed down, four hours of cultivation will make his cultivation progress faster.

This day, night.

Su Yun had just returned from mining.

He sat cross-legged by the window in his room, cultivating himself in the moonlight.

His room window faces the mountain, so there's no one here.

After a period of practice, he regulated his breathing and gradually stopped his body-refining exercise.

"After continuous arduous cultivation, the eighth true meridian is about to be opened. Most of the various barriers within it have been broken through, and it will be done in a few days."

He faced the moonlight, restoring his spiritual energy.

Once he returns to peak condition, he will prepare to resume training.

The next moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a shadowy figure lurking on the distant hillside.

"Ok?"

This person caught Su Yun's attention.

"Who would be lurking here so suspiciously? Do they have ulterior motives?"

Su Yun stared at the man.
