Fengshen: From the Spider Spirit Falling in Love with Me

Six days later, Zhang Song arrived at the square in the center of the mine, where he was greeted by the smell of a big market.

Zhang Song regretted it. His skill of stewing meat was not suitable for this kind of occasion. Next month, he would do his old business and buy a few hundred kilograms of Shilixiang from his sixth uncle. Maybe he could sell it for the price of spirit stones.

He walked and looked, thinking too much. The miners were rich, but they were also earning silver dimes and gold coins like him, so they were not wealthy.

There were people selling pheasants and rabbits, people selling bamboo baskets, and people repairing hoes and practicing weapons.

Uh...the one selling stewed meat, we’re in the same industry.

"Brother, how much do you sell these skills for?"

This is a miner from Bingzi Cave. His facial features and spoken language are obviously different from those of the people in Shiniuzhai.

There were more than twenty books on the stall, including storybooks, medical classics, and so-called exercises. All of them were written with a brush on yellow paper. Two of them were still very new.

This kind of self-written martial arts method is not guaranteed to be authentic, and no one will be responsible if you die while practicing it. The advantage is that it is cheap.

"Basic swordsmanship, with an additional move: Shocking Rainbow!"

A spirit stone? Brother, don't you see if anyone here has seen this thing?

Zhang Song looked like he would not leave unless you sold it to him. The most important thing was that the basic knife skills were handwritten, and it was originally a business with no capital.

But this man swore that this was the standard introductory sword manual issued by Dali Academy to students, and the academy would charge two spirit stones for it.

Finally, with the help of his eloquence, Zhang Song won the case with twenty-five gold coins, and also got the other party to give him a storybook.

With the remaining seventeen gold coins, he bought a pound of beast meat, the meat of a real first-class ferocious beast, the rock python. The other party really looked down on Zhang Song's gold and cut off a piece weighing two or three pounds and threw it to him.

We are all from Shiniuzhai, but we were ignored like this. He just left with the snake meat. What a good man.

When I returned to my home in the shantytown, the door of the house on the left was open. A woman was washing clothes in the yard and greeted me cheerfully.

"Brother Song, a matchmaker just came to our house. I asked her to come later."

"What, don't scare me, Sister Liao, it's only June this year and I'm only seventeen."

"Tsk, I've found out for you. They're a wealthy family in Shangzhai. They're well off. If it weren't for you being honest and decent, they wouldn't be able to come."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Zhang Song returned to the house and saw the bamboo building with leaks everywhere. A sentence came to his mind: "When I was young, I didn't know the taste of soft rice, so I spent my youth planting rice seedlings. If I could turn back, my three generations of grandparents and grandchildren would not have to worry."

The beast's meat was stewed till tender. Zhang Song grabbed a piece of it. The meat was delicate and tight. He took a bite and instantly felt a warm current flowing through his body.

After eating, I felt lazy and sweaty all over.

I looked at the hang-up page:

Hang up sequence one: Huangting breathing technique, the current realm is the third level of Qi training, in another four years and three months, it will be promoted to the fourth level of Qi training.

Idle sequence two: Rock Power, currently at level six, in another three years and five months, it will be upgraded to Rock Level Seven.

I was happy in my heart, because a meal of meat reduced my idle time by at least half a month.

I heard that there are pills and medicinal baths in Baishi Tower that can assist in practicing the Panshi Gong. If I can buy one or two, I am confident that I can improve the Panshi Gong to the seventh level within two years.

With an idea in his mind, the thunder spiritual liquid in his hand had accumulated to three drops, so he could take another drop.

Wait a little longer until your body completely digests that drop in your body.

In the evening, the matchmaker came. She was very dedicated. The Kangshan Mine was more than ten miles away from the village by mountain road. Even a man would need more than an hour to walk there, not to mention the old woman in front of him who was obviously in her fifties.

Later I found out that this man lived in the mine. He was from Bingzi Mine. He had saved some gold over the years and gained his freedom.

Zhang Song naturally didn't have any thoughts about it. He gave a silver coin as a thank you and politely declined.

He took out the basic sword techniques and studied them for an hour.

Light the oil lamp, then remove the Rock Skill from the idle sequence and replace it with the basic swordsmanship.

Then he took the wooden sword he had carved and started practicing in the house.

Before going to bed, I looked at the hang-up sequence:

Idle sequence two: Basic swordsmanship. Currently at the entry level. In another three years and five months, the level will be upgraded to proficient.

After careful calculation, it means that in about two years, when I am nineteen years old, I will be able to master the basic swordsmanship.

It's still a bit slow, after all, it occupies the idle sequence of the main skill, Rock Skill.

If I find someone to learn swordsmanship from, or spar with others, would it be possible to reduce some of the idle time... I fell asleep without realizing it.

The next morning, after breakfast, I carried my pickaxe and followed the huge mining team to work.

"Brother Liao, do you know who knows swordsmanship?" This time, Zhang Song followed the big brother next door obediently. This place was like a cave, spacious and even bright, occupied by more than a dozen people. Zhang Song, an outsider, had to give the leading big brother 50 kilograms of black iron ore a day.

"Swordsmanship?" He looked around and said, "That Moji, Liu Fengshou, and Bamu all know it."

Zhang Song was not too surprised. Anyone who had joined a hunting team or whose father had been a powerful person would have some inheritance.

After asking, I found out that if I wanted to learn swordsmanship, it would cost at least fifty gold, and this was just because we were both miners. It was really unfair.

Zhang Song, who had only a few silver coins in his hand, curled his lips. They were all miners, and their swordsmanship might not be as good as his basic knife skills.

Brother Liao knew what Zhang Song was thinking, and said with a smile: "Although we all have some unique skills to save our lives, we are still not as good as the hunting team when it comes to fighting."

"But the mining money will be distributed in a few days. You are here for corvée labor, but as long as you complete the required tonnage, you can also get a spirit stone."

“The excess can be sold to others.”

Black iron ore is not a high-grade ore, but if used in large quantities, some black iron essence can be extracted occasionally. This is the material for refining tools, at a price of one spirit stone per pound.

No one will sell genuine cultivation items with gold coins. Being simple and honest does not mean being a fool.

"Dig and dig with the small pickaxe..." This time he used basic knife skills. He didn't care whether it was useful or not, he just kept going.

It has to be said that with more people the mining efficiency immediately drops. Originally, it would take half a day to mine 300 kilograms, but now it takes almost the entire day to mine all the required ore.

A few days later, Zhang Song and Brother Liao and a few others lined up, and the day to pay their salaries finally arrived.

"I can change my precious sword this time."

"Hahahaha, I've reserved a portion of Marrow Cleansing Powder. My kid has been stuck at the third level of Qi and Blood for almost a year. If he succeeds in this breakthrough, he'll catch up with me."

"Xiaosong, are you also planning to change the Xisui Powder?" Brother Liao smiled on his honest face.

"Brother, the marrow cleansing fluid requires three spirit stones. I want to exchange it for a primary long sword."

Brother Liao was silent for a moment, then looked at him seriously and reminded him, "In the mine, the first thing you need to do is learn how to survive. You can go to the Bingzi Cave to see that there are many people in the late Qi and Blood stage. There were more than 30 of them a few years ago, but this year there are only 19 left."

On the day of salary payment, the whole mine was filled with joy and excitement.

The Jiazi Mine belongs to the family, and spirit stones are distributed according to the amount of ore mined. Even those like Zhang Song who only pay a fixed amount of ore for corvée labor can also get a spirit stone.

The good stuff is a thumb-sized piece, worth a hundred gold coins. Someone is trying to buy it and paying an extra ten gold coins.

Some people also set up stalls, but this time the items they sold could only be purchased with Spiritual Stones.

Talismans, skills, treasures, magical rice...

The first time I saw talismans, they were all carved with various rabbit skins or mouse skins, with dark red patterns on them, and looked messy. The cheap ones cost one spirit stone, while the expensive ones cost more than ten spirit stones.

There are all kinds of skills, some are handwritten, some are engraved on yellowed bones, some have just a few words on stones, and some are simply spots on animal skins.
