Chapter 185 Joy
"Well, it's better to keep the wealth within the family."
His branch is good at treasure hunting. The ancestor was a treasure-hunting rat beside the founder, and Wei Wenxin belongs to the founder's lineage, so it is reasonable to say so.
It just so happened that the two of them were going to inspect the mine together. Taoist Minglu sighed and gave her an amber jade slip.
"First, learn the theoretical knowledge thoroughly, and then I will slowly teach you how to practice it along the way."
Wei Wen happily agreed and swore an oath to never tell anyone else before taking the jade slip.
Minglu Daozun's lineage has been searching for treasures outside all year round. Apart from a trip to the Flaming Mountain with him a long time ago, this was Wei Wenxin's first time to follow him on a mission. The two actually had no personal relationship.
Seeing that he didn't want to make it public, he knew what was good for him.
Because he is the descendant of the treasure-hunting rat, he is often secretly called a rat by those people in the sect who hate the rich.
The position is actually a bit embarrassing.
Most people treat their lineage with great respect on the surface, but in reality they are always thinking about getting something from them, and secretly look down on them.
Perhaps they are tired of these things, so they always act very low-key.
Du Zhen is the second disciple of the sect master, and Uncle Qingxu also belongs to the sect's very powerful heavy sword lineage.
It's a bit unreasonable that I didn't teach them and only taught her while walking with them together.
You can't say that he secretly got a few mining machines and has to bear the consequences, right?
It's a bit embarrassing.
After the two men explored the mineral veins and returned to the base, Wei Wenxin went into his room and never came out again.
She was a very homebody. When she was so engrossed in her research, she would not go out for more than ten years. Du Zhen did not take it seriously at all.
But as time went by, he found that Master Qingxu looked at him with more and more loving eyes.
I was completely confused.
On this day, they inspected another mine and were on the road again. Du Zhen saw his master going into the room to rest, so he chased after him and asked him carefully:
"Uncle, do you have anything you want me to do?"
After all, he is the master's disciple. He has seen a lot since he was a child and is a careful person. A pure swordsman like Qingxu Daojun who pursues combat power cannot hide anything in front of him.
I didn't expect that he would come to ask me so directly, so Qingxu Daojun made up an excuse.
"I just saw that Junior-Junior-Sister Wei's Bai Ze was well taken care of, and I wanted to ask her how to raise a spirit beast, but I was too embarrassed to ask."
After getting such a perfunctory answer, Du Zhen knew that he didn't want to talk, so he didn't force him and immediately nodded in agreement.
"You want me to ask for you, right? I'll tell you after I ask!"
Wei Wenxin always had the confidence to act like a rogue in front of any elder. When he was short of money, he would ask anyone for money. However, he did not have that ability, and he knew this very well.
Therefore, his social code is to maintain a sense of propriety.
He came and expressed his attitude. If Master Qingxu didn't want to speak, he wouldn't force him.
In the eyes of Taoist Qingxu, he is just a fool. It would be fine if they just talked about it, but if they really talked to Wei Wenxin, with her cleverness, she would definitely be able to guess his thoughts at the first moment.
Furthermore, when he heard that he wanted to raise a spirit beast, his sword spirit went crazy and ran around wildly in his dantian. It was better to give up.
So he stopped Du Zhen again.
"There's no need to trouble her."
Xiang Xiang hinted, "After all, she has to learn so many things from Master Minglu every day, she is already very busy."
Du Zhen then understood why he looked at him that way and couldn't help laughing!
"You should be able to handle as big a bowl as possible, and eat as much as you can with a bowl. Senior Sister, if you are capable, you should work harder and learn more. This is a good thing for us fellow disciples with mediocre qualifications!"
The four of them spent day and night together. From the very beginning, Wei Wenxin was actively learning things, and he has been studying even more attentively recently.
Du Zhen might not have noticed it at the beginning. It's not like he's dead in a few days, so how could he not have discovered that his great-uncle master was secretly teaching Wei Wenxin something?
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what Wei Wenxin wanted to learn, the elders of the sect never hid anything from her. Whether she studied or not depended on her personal interest.
She now wants to learn how to find veins and minerals, so Uncle Master Minglu teaches her seriously. What's the problem?
I didn't expect him to be so insightful.
It’s not that I don’t understand, but that I don’t mind.
I underestimated this child in the past.
Although this child's talents are mediocre, he knows how to make choices and has a big picture.
"It's a good thing that you can look at things in a positive way. To be honest, I've been a little worried about you these past few days. I'm afraid you're feeling bad, but I don't know how to start talking." Du Zhen smiled and said, "Although I'm not as open-minded as you, I'll try to learn from you."
"Don't test me. I have no idea about treasure hunting. I only do what I am good at. I just need to do it to the best of my ability."
Xiang Xiang emphasized: "For me, as long as I have enough money, it's good enough."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Du Zhen rubbed his fingers and said, "To be honest, Master, I am now thinking about when the senior sister will take me to find a mine. I can help her with the smelting and processing. I have a workshop at home and can give her the biggest discount. I can also keep watch for her and stand guard for her when she is mining."
Taoist Qingxu looked disdainful and said, "You are really promising!"
Du Zhen smiled and said nothing.
In the entire sect, he is the only one who can partner with Wei Wenxin for a long time, and there is a reason for that.
It is never shameful to have ability and be valued by others.
But everyone has different abilities.
As the days passed, the Wanjian Sect took the opportunity to destroy the lost mining machines and transform the existing ones.
The momentum is so huge that even if someone keeps it privately, they dare not use it in a short period of time.
Because these machines were engraved with codes in secret places, they couldn't take them apart bit by bit to search, and their origins were unclear. Once they were caught, the crazy people in the Wanjian Sect would definitely not let them go.
The problem of excess labor in the sect is very prominent. Not only did Wei Wenxin discover it, but the higher-ups had also considered this issue a long time ago.
Organizing mining teams and traveling around the world can alleviate some of the problems.
Organizing miners to learn planting techniques and relocating them to places with more spiritual energy, opening up spiritual gardens, and vigorously developing the planting and breeding industries can alleviate some of the problems.
To Wei Wenxin's surprise, her newly published book was of great help in this regard!
All kinds of small vendors have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
After the first group of people tasted the sweetness, more and more people joined in.
Because Wei Wenxin is a lazy guy, many of the methods he came up with are lazy, especially suitable for the elderly, children, women and children who have insufficient labor force.
"With the improvement of productivity, practitioners in traditional industries will definitely shift to the service industry. This is an inevitable trend. Your book is priced at two spirit stones per copy. Even a young cultivator who has just embarked on the path of cultivation can buy one if he grits his teeth."
After finishing their work for the day, a group of people sat down to chat and drink tea.
When this incident was mentioned, Minglu Daozun began to tell her stories.
"Many monks don't care much about people's livelihood, but I always travel around the world and have noticed it a long time ago. In the thousands of years I have lived, many traditional industries in Qinghuan Realm have disappeared.
"For example, clothing manufacturing used to require tailoring. Later, someone developed a mind-controlled formation that allowed standard robes to be made larger or smaller. Clothing shops followed suit, and assembly line operations soon became popular. Nowadays, only the big powers have equipment makers who can make robes independently. A craft that used to be very common has now become precious because of tailoring.
“They probably went through a very painful time at the beginning, but they quickly found a new way out in order to survive.
"God will never treat anyone who works hard badly, so there's really no need for you to worry about it all the time."
Wei Wenxin smiled embarrassedly.
She is indeed a careful person who can find mineral veins based on clues. She never said these things, but the other party could sense them.
But he probably misunderstood.
"You may think I'm cold-blooded. I don't know those people, and I can't empathize with their pain. The reason I feel tormented by this is not because I feel sorry for their suffering, but because I caused trouble but couldn't solve it. I can't tolerate myself being so incompetent."
Should we say that geniuses’ brain circuits are different from those of normal people?
After taking Wei Wenxin out to inspect the mines for a year and a half, Minglu Daozun claimed that he knew her very well, but he would still be irritated from time to time.
I felt that all the tenderness just now was fed to the spirit beast.
"Drink tea, drink tea, no nonsense!"
Wei Wenxin laughed and picked up the teapot to pour tea for him.
"Master, uncle, and great master are all doing this for my own good. I know that."
With a bright smile and sincere and pure emotions, Daoist Master Minglu suddenly felt that "only this child is so naive that he can say whatever he wants."
The trace of annoyance in my heart disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I felt like giving her some advice again.
"Where did you suspect there was a mine a while ago? Let's go tomorrow and take a look!"
Good morning! This weekend, my mom went back to play mahjong. My son has to take an exam. I am taking care of them. Time is a bit tight. But the kids are one year older now, so it is much better. Except for being a little noisy, they can play together and I can still write. It is just that three meals a day is a bit of a headache. It is hot and I feel that my appetite is not very good. What do you eat in summer? I don't know what to cook for them.
