This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

"You five are only at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, and your combined resonance value isn't even enough to trigger the basic buff. You dare to rob me?"

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "I advise you to get lost quickly, otherwise if you die, you won't even be able to keep the pitiful spirit stones in your storage bag. It's not worth it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu flew into a rage. He slammed his black iron hammer into the ground, instantly creating a crack several feet wide. Spirit stone fragments fell from the walls of the lair. He roared, "Boy, stop being so arrogant! Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is just that! Even if you have a high-level Dao artifact, you're no match for the five of us! If you know what's good for you, hand over your stuff now, or you'll regret it when we make our move!"

The tall, thin cultivator next to him also shouted, "That's right! Our elder is at the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. He can seriously injure you with one punch. If you still don't know what's good for you, we'll make sure you die a horrible death today!"

"Alright, alright, let me see just how hard a mid-stage Fusion Realm fighter's fist is!"

Jiang Liu was too lazy to waste words with them, so he casually threw a punch.

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

"Let's see if your fist is harder, or mine!"

Zhao Hu and his five companions: "."

I am!

This child is in grave danger!

When the Ten Directions Suppressing Fist came rushing towards them, Zhao Hu and his four companions' expressions changed drastically, and they were drenched in sweat!
Early stage of fusion?

Do not!
You've reached a whole new level of hidden skill!
That despicable scoundrel actually hid his cultivation level to fish!
"Despicable! Shameless! We will die with our eyes wide open in disgrace!"

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

Zhao Hu and the others roared in grief and indignation, and then nothing more happened.

You have killed Elder Bailiezong.

You killed a random passerby.

You killed Passerby B.

You're all smiles now? That's it?
"Someone who can be easily defeated dares to rob me; they're really overestimating themselves."

Jiang Liu clapped his hands, preparing to continue mining, when just as he turned around, three figures darted out from the shadows of the nearby mine, blocking his way. It was Li Xuan and his two companions.

Li Xuan, gripping the Purple Lightning Blade, stood at the forefront, his eyes fixed on Jiang Liu with a sinister glint in them. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skill. You actually managed to kill those five pieces of trash, Zhao Hu, with ease. But do you think that's the end of it?"

"What you have on you today is destined to belong to us!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

But do you think that's the end of it?

Brother, I'm begging you, can we just end it like this?

Jiang Liu frowned as he looked at the three more ant-like NPCs that had jumped out, feeling extremely annoyed.

Do all the cultivators in Zhongzhou have something wrong with them? All they think about is robbing others, can't they just focus on mining and making money?
I just finished dealing with five, and now three more are showing up. Do they really think I'm easy to bully?

"Late stage of the Fusion Realm? So what? He's still a money-bringing boy."

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow, his tone full of disdain, and said, "The three of you can come at me all at once. Don't waste my time. I still need to mine."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan was immediately enraged. He was, after all, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and a respected figure in Zhongzhou. To be so disrespected by an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was an utter disgrace!
He gripped the Purple Lightning Blade, his spiritual power surging, the blade crackling with purple lightning. A burnt smell filled the air, and the spirit stone fragments in the nest were stirred up by the spiritual energy, floating in the air. He roared, "Boy, you're too arrogant! Today I'll show you just how big the difference is between the late stage of the Fusion Realm and the early stage!"

Li Xuan made his move!
The two junior brothers next to him also joined in!
Jiang Liu made his move too!

"I'm in the Tenth Heaven of the Heavenly Realm!"

With a single sword strike, two people died, but the leader, NPC Li Xuan, somehow managed to survive.

It survived, but was barely alive.

"Ah! My arm!"

Li Xuan clutched his severed arm, letting out a piercing scream, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Jiang Liu and said, "Who exactly are you? How dare you sever my Qilin Arm! My Zixia Sect will never let you get away with this!"

"Zixia Sect?"

Jiang Liu slashed at his opponent with his sword: "Thank you, good brother, for showing me the way. Zixia Sect, right? I'll visit you sometime."

You have killed an elder of the Zixia Sect.

He originally thought that after dealing with Li Xuan and the other two, he could finally mine and accumulate resonance points in peace. But just as he turned around to clear out the few remaining mining spirits in the nest, he heard a series of hurried footsteps and several wary and greedy eyes fell on him.

Looking up, I saw seven or eight people standing at the entrance of the nest. They were all cultivators at the Integration Realm, some in the middle stage and some in the late stage. They had obviously been attracted by the commotion from the fight earlier.

When these people saw the piles of spirit stones, scattered weapons, and corpses of cultivators in the lair, their eyes lit up like light bulbs. When they saw that Jiang Liu only had the aura of the early stage of the Integration Realm, they could no longer hide the greed in their eyes. Some of them even secretly tightened their grip on their weapons and exchanged glances with each other.

"This kid actually killed Elder Li Xuan of the Zixia Sect? He was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

"Look at the spirit stones and storage bags on the ground, they must all be good stuff! This kid definitely has top-tier magic treasures or heaven-defying cultivation techniques hidden on him!"

"Li Xuan is at the late stage of the Integration Realm, and even he was defeated. This kid is a bit strange. Should we join forces?"

"What are you afraid of? There are eight of us. Even if he can fight, can he beat eight people working together? Fortune favors the bold, let's go!"

The group whispered among themselves and quickly reached a consensus. They stared at Jiang Liu with sinister eyes and slowly approached the lair, completely blocking Jiang Liu's escape route.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a sinister look in his eyes and a faint black mist surrounding him. He was clearly no good. He gripped a short knife and said with a sneer, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skill. You even managed to kill Li Xuan. But since you've killed so many people, you must have a lot of treasures on you. If you know what's good for you, hand them over now and cripple your cultivation. We might spare your dog's life. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape today!"

Jiang Liu: “.”

One wave after another of robbers.

Hey!
Can't you just let me play the game in peace and quiet?

You won't let me play, huh?

Then everyone should stop playing!
Jiang Liu looked at the group of reckless fools in front of him, and his already irritable mood finally exploded.

He came to the secret realm to farm spirit stones, but wave after wave of robbers came knocking on his door, relentlessly treating him like an easy target.

So none of the cultivators in Zhongzhou are normal; all they care about is robbery, and they have no intention of making money properly by mining.

That's bad enough, but they're all blind to his strength, unable to see that it far exceeds his realm, and insist on coming up to deliver themselves to death. Do they really think he's so good-natured that he won't kill them to cover it up?
"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

"Die! Today, Demon Lord Jiang is going to go on a killing spree!"

Jiang Liu was furious, then furious, and in a fit of rage, he swung his Righteous Qi Sword without hesitation and slashed down!
The sword of righteous energy will annihilate all evil in the world!
When the sword light, sword power, sword momentum, and sword energy swept over them, the robbers belatedly realized that the seemingly young cultivator in front of them was far more terrifying than they had imagined!
"What level of cultivation does this oppressive aura represent?"

"Something's not right. He's definitely hiding his true strength. He might be a super powerful being posing as a fisherman!"

"We're doomed! We've messed up! Run!"

The cultivators, who had been filled with greed just moments before, panicked instantly. They lost all interest in robbing and turned to run away from their lair. But Jiang Liu was completely enraged. Since these people insisted on courting death, he would grant their wish and, while he was at it, clean up these parasites on the outer layer so that no one would bother him while he was mining.

"Trying to escape now? Too late!"

You killed so-and-so.

You killed so-and-so.

You killed so-and-so.

Screams rang out one after another. In just a few seconds, seven or eight cultivators were all killed by Jiang Liu. Their corpses lay scattered at the entrance of the nest, and blood stained the ground, mixing with the scattered spirit stones, giving off a strange bloody smell.

After slashing with his sword, Jiang Liu turned his attention to another group of NPCs in the outer area. Without hesitation, he threw a punch at them!
"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

You killed so-and-so.

You killed so-and-so.

You killed so-and-so.

These NPCs didn't provoke Jiang Liu; they were just quietly farming mineral spirits, but they still died.

There's nothing we can do; we can only blame the previous waves of robbers.

With a single punch, Jiang Liu wiped out a group of NPCs. Without pausing, he swung his sword at another group of NPCs with a grim face.

You killed so-and-so.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

This sword strike shattered the tranquility of the mining plain!

All the cultivators who witnessed this scene were terrified, their eyes wide with shock as they stared blankly at Jiang Liu unleashing his divine power and wreaking havoc.

At first, they thought Jiang Liu was seeking revenge.

But right now, it's clearly an indiscriminate attack!

He's trying to clear out the entire outer area!

The other NPCs no longer dared to take any chances and fled frantically toward the exit of the mine plain.

They finally realized that the seemingly young cultivator in front of them was actually a ruthless killer who could not be provoked by anyone. Staying in the outer layer would only lead to certain death!
"Run! The devil has killed someone!"

"Help! He's gone mad! He's going to kill everyone!"

"How dare you! How dare you! You've gone mad! We are all righteous cultivators!"

"You have slaughtered righteous cultivators so wantonly, no one can save you!"

"Get out of here quickly! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"

The screams of the cultivators rose and fell, and the once orderly mineral plain instantly descended into chaos.

Jiang Liu didn't care about any of that. He was like a ruthless executioner, roaming freely across the mining plains. Any cultivator he targeted, regardless of their cultivation level or whether they showed any signs of trying to escape, he would show no mercy. Every strike was a precise and instant kill, without exception.

Golden sword energy crisscrossed the mineral plain, the screams of cultivators, the cracking of weapons, and the crisp sound of spirit stones falling mingled together, sending chills down one's spine.

Not far away, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who was mining alone saw Jiang Liu walking towards him. He turned pale with fright and quickly summoned his natal magic weapon, a huge golden shield, to block in front of him. At the same time, he shouted at Jiang Liu, "Senior, spare my life! I am willing to hand over 100 million spirit stones to you. Please spare my life!"

With that, he threw his storage bag to Jiang Liu and turned to run away.

Jiang Liu merely glanced at the storage bag without taking it. He raised his hand and slashed out with his sword. The Tenth Heaven of Lingxiao directly cleaved through the golden shield, instantly killing the mid-stage Integration cultivator.

In his eyes, these spirit stones were nothing; all he wanted to do now was kill people and get rid of all these annoying parasites.

Just ten minutes.

There are no more NPCs in the entire outer area!

The river has completely cleared it out!
He monopolized the outer area of ​​the Wanling Mine by himself!

"Kill everyone, and this map will be mine, no problem."

Jiang Liu let out a long sigh of relief. After his rampage, he had vented his frustration. He turned to look at the group of mineral spirits not far away, and his eyes lit up with excitement again.

After killing the humans, let's move on to killing the monsters!
I need to make up for the time I lost by killing someone.

He flashed forward and charged towards the group of mineral spirits. He raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing a torrent of golden sword energy that instantly killed the mineral spirits, turning them into a rain of spirit stones. System notifications flooded the screen once again.

You have killed a novice Miner.

You have killed a novice Miner.

You have killed a novice Miner.

You have obtained 48171 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 24666 Spirit Stones.

You have obtained 1 Spirit Stones.

[Current resonance value: 987]

[Current resonance value: 998]

[Current resonance value: 1000]

[Spirit Vein Progress Update: The resonance value in the outer area has accumulated to 1000 points, unlocking the middle area (underground mine complex), which can be visited at any time.]

Jiang Liu quickly slayed a thousand monsters on a map by himself.

The middle area is finally unlocked!
Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Liu smiled with satisfaction. He could finally go to the middle level!
The drop rate of mineral spirits in the outer layer is too low. The rich mineral veins in the middle layer are much better. Moreover, after clearing out the cultivators in the outer layer, you won't have to worry about being disturbed when you come to mine in the outer layer again.

He bent down to pick up the spirit stones from the ground, casually tossed them into his storage bag, and watched the number of spirit stones in his backpack steadily increase, feeling even more overjoyed.

It's only been a short time since I started farming. If I went to the middle level, the number of spirit stones would definitely increase even faster!
Soon, Jiang Liu arrived at the entrance to the middle area, which was a stone gate that shimmered with a pale blue spiritual light. The stone gate was engraved with complex patterns and exuded a mysterious aura.

He raised his hand and pushed open the stone door. A rich spiritual energy rushed towards him, several times more concentrated than the spiritual energy on the outside. He could even see faint fragments of spirit stones floating in the air.

You have entered the Myriad Spirits Mine Secret Realm - Middle Level (Underground Mine Complex)

[Mid-level area tip: The mineral spirits in the underground mine complex are mainly in the mid-to-late stage of the Fusion Realm, with some mines containing mineral spirits in the early stage of the Tribulation Realm. The ore veins are mainly rich ore veins, and the base drop rate of a single mineral spirit is 5-10 spirit stones.]

A single mineral spirit costs 10 spirit stones!
Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up instantly. He gripped the Righteous Qi Sword tightly and rushed into the depths of the underground mine complex.

We must empty the middle layer of spirit stones today! (End of Chapter)
