Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 120 Mercy

Zhang Qing understood what Sun Lin meant.

Mining is a very dangerous job. Although Dingqi Mine is only a small mine, the number of miners who have been injured or killed in the mine over the years is not small.

If a miner dies, their family is given a sum of money as compensation to settle the matter.

If the injury is minor, treatment will be provided.

As for those who are seriously injured or disabled, they will receive simple first aid and then be sent home.

They also gave me some money.

But whether it's death or serious injury, the compensation is very little, basically just a token amount.

Anyway, there are plenty of people willing to do this job!

The miner who was just carried out had blood all over his head, his eyes were closed and he was barely breathing. He would definitely not survive if he did not receive immediate treatment.

But saving such a seriously injured person will definitely come at a high price!

Sun Lin naturally dared not make the decision on his own.

The middle-aged miner who was kowtowing and begging clearly understood this. He looked at Zhang Qing pitifully with tears in his eyes and was about to kowtow to him again.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Qing immediately took out a healing pill from his storage bag: "Give it to him."

In fact, Zhang Qing understood the meaning in Sun Lin's eyes very well.

That means you don't need to worry about it.

Human life is worthless here!

But how could Zhang Qing just stand by and watch a vibrant life die right before his eyes?

Even though he had told himself that he couldn't be a good person.

However, the values, outlook on life, and worldview formed in his previous life determined Zhang Qing's moral bottom line.

He can be ruthless when facing enemies.

But Zhang Qing always felt a pang of pity for these ordinary people at the bottom of society.

If helping is just a small favor, he would undoubtedly be willing to do so.

"yes!"

A look of surprise flashed in Sun Lin's eyes, and then he respectfully accepted the healing pills handed to him by Zhang Qing and immediately gave them to the seriously injured miner.

His surprise was justified.

Because the value of this healing pill is enough to buy a human life!

But Zhang Qing took it out without hesitation.

After the healing pill was swallowed, its medicinal effects quickly spread.

The miner named Er Gou's head injury had stopped bleeding, and he even managed to open his eyes with difficulty, his lips moved a few times, and he let out a weak groan.

"Ergou!"

The middle-aged miner standing by wept with joy, hastily wiping away his tears with his rough, calloused hands.

Anyone could see that Er Gou wouldn't die.

The middle-aged miner was extremely grateful: "Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much!"

These two dogs are his nephews and nieces, and he brought them from the village to the mine. If they die here, how can he explain it to his relatives and friends when he goes back?

Moreover, he had no children of his own and had long regarded Er Gou as his own son.

Zhang Qing waved his hand and said, "Send him to rest well. He doesn't need to work for the next few days, but his salary will be paid as usual."

He paused, then added, "I'll give you another healing pill in a couple of days."

For ordinary people, the healing pills are exceptionally effective; as long as the injury isn't too severe, one pill can bring them back to life.

Two pills are enough to guarantee a full recovery.

The middle-aged miner was so moved that he knelt down and kowtowed again.

But Zhang Qing didn't like it and told him to quickly take Er Gou to the cave to rest.

After the miners carried Er Gou away, Sun Lin said with admiration, "Sir, you are truly kind."

kindness?

Although Zhang Qing knew that Sun Lin had no intention of mocking him, the word itself carried a sarcastic connotation in this world.

In essence, Zhang Qing, who is currently at the fourth level of Qi Refining, is no different from Er Gou, who was just seriously injured.

They're all just struggling to survive.

Putting myself in their shoes, Zhang Qing's actions were perfectly normal.

He doesn't need anyone's praise.

However, this incident piqued Zhang Qing's interest in the mine, so he asked Sun Lin to take him down to take a look.

As the mine manager, Sun Lin had been down into the mine many times, so acting as a guide was naturally no problem for him.

Dingqi Mine has two mine shafts. One has long been abandoned and converted into a residential area. The other has been excavated for several years, with a long tunnel extending deep underground and branching out into multiple tunnels.

The mine tunnel was narrow and damp, with scattered ore fragments on the ground. Once inside, one could hear clanging and knocking sounds coming from deep within.

Sun Lin carefully led Zhang Qing to a mine tunnel that was currently being mined.

This is also where Er Gou got into trouble.

The miner had a bad day; the area he was digging over loosened, causing a rock to fall down.

It hit him squarely on the head!

Despite this incident, the other miners continued to work diligently, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Because they are required to submit a certain weight of ore every day, and if they fail to meet the requirement, their wages will be deducted.

Similarly, there is a reward for the excess.

It's a system where you get paid for more work, which is undoubtedly much better than slave labor.

Zhang Qing walked around inside the mine and then came out.

After seeing the situation underground, he could only say that he was fortunate to have been reborn in the body of a cultivator.

In the days that followed, Zhang Qing became increasingly focused on his cultivation, and he spent less and less time at the mine.

Since Sun Lin and the other person are in charge, he can completely wash his hands of it.

Zhang Qingcai personally handled the task of handing over crude iron to the lower court every month.

Because he still needed to receive payment from Senior Brother Pan.

Those are spirit stones!

As for everything else, only one thing remained in Zhang Qing's mind.

That's the level.

Reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Qing has been at Dingqi Mine for more than two months.

In these two months, his cultivation level has made great progress.

In addition, Zhang Qing also received four spirit stones from Senior Brother Pan!

This made him very satisfied, and he felt that coming to Dingqi Mine was definitely the right decision.

As for these four spirit stones, Zhang Qing did not use them to trade for fragments of the ruins for the time being.

Because spirit stones are the true hard currency in the cultivation world, with a wide range of uses, and their value cannot be compared to talisman coins.

Zhang Qing planned to scrape together some money first, and then switch to a bigger investment.

After all, he was a newcomer in the Xuanming Lower Academy, and it wasn't easy for him to join other people's circles.

If you're not strong enough, you could easily get tricked!

Haste makes waste.

Zhang Qing told himself this.

He calmed down and continued his training in the mine.

To Zhang Qing's surprise, just when he hoped to get through the rest of the mission peacefully, trouble unexpectedly arose again.

That day, Zhang Qing was cultivating in a mountain cave when suddenly there was a knock on the stone door: "My lord, I have urgent news to report!"

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Qing, who was in the quiet room, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The entrance to the cave is not bolted during the day, but no one dares to barge in.

No sooner had Zhang Qing finished speaking than Sun Lin pushed the door open and entered.

The mine manager looked very serious!
