"Mining?"
Yang Shengwu's expression turned strange; he doubted that mining could be related to any significant business.
"The Five Elements Sect has Black Essence Stone Mines and Green Luminous Stone Mines in the Great Wilderness. Only Loose Cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refinement would consider working in the mines. They labor for six hours a day, and after a month of hard work, they only end up with two or three Spirit Stones."
Mining was arduous work, toiling all day with hardly any respite, lest one face the taskmaster's whip. Furthermore, the mine stewards often embezzled, so miners feared they might not even receive two Spirit Stones...
Unless a Loose Cultivator had no other recourse, they would never consider becoming a miner.
If I go mining, I'm afraid it would be like walking into a trap...
Yang Shengwu was still on the Law Enforcement Office's blacklist; going to the mines would probably make the Five Elements Sect Cultivators laugh themselves to death.
