Wang Daoyuan followed the tunnel downwards. This winding tunnel seemed to have been modified from the foundation of a natural karst cave.
At every section of the tunnel, there were cultivators inspecting him.
After walking for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he arrived at the bottom of the tunnel.
There were two peak Zifu Disciples guarding the door. Wang Daoyuan handed the command medallion to them.
They used their divine sense to examine the command medallion, then returned it to Wang Daoyuan.
Afterwards, the stone wall behind him opened, and Wang Daoyuan walked in.
Behind the stone wall was not a city, but a small castle. There were more than ten late and peak Zifu Disciples stationed inside.
After Wang Daoyuan entered, a peak-stage Zifu Disciple walked out of the castle and came to the side of the stone wall. He asked Wang Daoyuan, "Fellow Daoist, your innate talent is extraordinary. Are you interested in joining the Bloodfiend Army?"
Supposedly, the Blood Demon Army was the subordinate of the Jindan Devil Cultivators. They were usually responsible for managing the affairs of this underground space.
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands. "I'm an unaffiliated person who doesn't like restrictions.
I came to Blood Demon City this time because I wanted to experience the holy land of us Blood Demons. I have no intention of joining the Blood Demon Army. Please forgive me, Daoyou. "
Most Devil Cultivators didn't like restrictions. There were very few Loose Cultivators who were willing to join the Blood Demon Army. This peak Zifu Disciple didn't want to force him.
He smiled regretfully. "Since that's the case, I won't force you.
In the future, if Daoyou changes your mind, you can come find me at any time. "
The two exchanged some pleasantries, then Wang Daoyuan circled around the castle and walked inside.
After entering the stone wall, the space inside was no longer a karst cave. Instead, it had been forcibly carved out from the rock.
The underground space was hundreds of meters high, and one couldn't see the end of it.
The underground space was illuminated by many magic treasures, so it wasn't dark at all.
There were plants all around, and there were rivers and lakes on the ground.
There were even some small hills, and many caves had been carved out on the hills.
Apart from the stone wall above and the stone pillars supporting the rock, there wasn't much difference between this place and the outside.
Wang Daoyuan couldn't help but sigh. How much manpower and resources did it take to excavate such a large underground space?
After passing the stone wall, they would arrive at the Blood Demon City after walking for more than ten miles.
The Blood Demon City was a square-shaped city with a side length of more than fifty miles. It was located at the northern edge of the entire underground space.
The top and bottom of the city walls were connected to the rock stratum, and there were only a few gates that allowed entry and exit.
Wang Daoyuan arrived in front of the city gate and entered after showing his token.
The city was no different from an ordinary human cultivator city. There were all kinds of shops and some small devil cultivator clans.
The Blood Demon City had a formation that could soften the violent spiritual energy. There were ordinary humans living in the city. It was said that their number was not small, possibly close to a million.
They were all descendants of demonic cultivators. From birth to death, they were not allowed to leave Blood Demon City.
These ordinary people were not of much help to cultivators, but they could give birth to offspring with Spirit Roots, which was an important source of Devil Cultivators.
Thanks to Cui Ming's memories, he had gained some understanding of the Blood Devil City.
However, he still pretended that he didn't know anything. He wandered around the city for a while before finally choosing an inn to stay in.
Usually, he would inquire about all kinds of information at the place where he ate.
After more than a month, he grasped some detailed information and began to go out to look for work.
In the south of the Blood Demon City, there was a place where missions were issued. It was also a place to look for work. It was called the Mission Hall.
Wang Daoyuan arrived in front of the Mission Hall and found that there were quite a lot of people.
After all, devil cultivators also needed to cultivate.
Cultivation required all kinds of resources, and work was unavoidable.
In the center of this place was a large hall with the words "Mission Hall" written on it.
Around the hall, there was something similar to a bulletin board.
These bulletin boards were refined from some kind of Spirit Jade, and the information on them was inscribed with Spiritual Sense.
When many devil cultivators saw a suitable mission, they would take their tokens and go to the Mission Hall to receive the mission.
For example, mining ores, breeding fierce beasts, looking after spiritual fields, refining tools, alchemy, and so on.
The work of mining ores was particularly suitable for Wang Daoyuan. After all, he had come to look for spiritual fire.
The metal-attribute spiritual fire was either in a spiritual vein or in an ore vein.
To look for spiritual fire, mining ores was the most suitable.
Cui Ming had done this work before, but he was not strong enough and was bullied in the mines.
He could not earn any spiritual stones there, so he left.
Wang Daoyuan went to the mining mission board and used his Spiritual Sense to check the mission information.
One of the information was: "Mining Innate Ferocious Gold. For every kilogram of Innate Ferocious Gold, a reward of a thousand spiritual stones. No limit."
Wang Daoyuan was somewhat astonished. He said in surprise, "There's even Innate Ferocious Gold?"
A nearby late-stage Zifu Disciple laughed. "What's so great about Innate Ferocious Gold? This Blood Demon City also has Taiyi Fine Gold. It's just that it's not open to the public.
Otherwise, there would be so many people trying to mine it that their heads would burst. "
When Wang Daoyuan heard about Taiyi Fine Gold, he was somewhat delighted.
If he could get a large amount of Taiyi Fine Gold, it would be easy to upgrade the White Tiger Blade.
Right now, it was better to go to Innate Ferocious Gold. With a large amount of Innate Ferocious Gold, it would be helpful to upgrade the White Tiger Blade.
He went to the Mission Hall and gave his token to an elderly late-stage Zifu Disciple. "Accept the Innate Ferocious Gold mission.
The elderly cultivator was astonished, but he did not say anything.
He used his Spiritual Sense to inscribe some information on the token.
Then, he gave him a jade slip and said, "This is the details of the mission. Just do it according to the requirements.
If you don't meet the minimum requirements, you can't leave the mine, and you can't accept other missions. "
The other demonic cultivators lining up to accept missions also had looks of disbelief on their faces.
Some people whispered, "Is this person a raw melon egg? He actually dares to accept the Innate Ferocious Gold mission. That place is filled with people who are punished for their crimes.
Out of ten people who go in, nine don't come out. It's hard to cultivate there. "
Wang Daoyuan did not take their words seriously. He took the jade slip and checked the details, then left the Mission Hall.
This Innate Ferocious Gold Mine was more than five hundred kilometers west of Bloodfiend City.
In order to prevent people from stealing the ores, ordinary mines required spatial treasures to be checked.
Wang Daoyuan put the Interspatial Ring, most of the storage bags, and spirit beast bags into the space of the spiritual pearl.
Only two storage pouches were left, containing the bone sword, as well as some miscellaneous pills and talismans.
He had also put away the soft armor and the Soul-Binding Silk Cloak.
Right now, he was no different from an ordinary poor demonic cultivator.
He rode his sword to the entrance of the Innate Ferocious Gold Mine and showed the token to a fierce-looking peak Zifu Realm cultivator.
He took the token and checked it, then said, "Leave the token with me. Let me check the storage bag.
No one will care what you do in the mine, but when you come out, you have to hand over five hundred kilograms of Innate Ferocious Gold.
Don't even think about escaping. There are formations everywhere you can go.
If you have the ability to dig another tunnel, pretend I didn't say anything. "
Wang Daoyuan did not think much of it. He was familiar with digging tunnels.
He had dug hundreds of kilometers when he was at Foundation Establishment. He had never seen a rock layer that the Dust Returning Flame could not burn through.
After finding the spiritual fire, it would not be difficult to dig a tunnel and escape from the underground space.
He took off the two storage bags at his waist and handed them to the fierce-looking cultivator.
After checking the storage bags, he cursed, "Another pauper."
With that, he returned the bone sword and storage bag to Wang Daoyuan. He took all the miscellaneous items.
Although this guy was greedy, he knew his limits and did not take the only Dharma artifact.
Then, he opened the door of the mine and Wang Daoyuan walked in.
The moment he entered the mine, he felt a dense malevolent aura rush towards him.
The ore near the entrance of the mine had long been dug out, but there was still such a dense malevolent aura. How strong was the malevolent aura around the ore?
Cultivators below the Zifu Realm would quickly be affected by the malevolent aura if they stayed here.
Although the consciousness of Zifu Realm cultivators would not be affected easily, their bodies would be corroded if they lived here for a long time.
No wonder so many people were shocked when he accepted the Innate Ferocious Gold Mine mission.
One had to worry about harming their bodies while cultivating here. It only consumed spirit energy and could not be replenished.
Ordinary cultivators would not be able to survive here.
