Before they knew it, Teng Qing Shan and his group had been in the Tie Li mountain mining area for over a month.

  In the late afternoon, the sky was darkening.

  The entire mining area had already lit up with torches, and some places were burning piles of bonfires. A large number of soldiers from the Black Armor Army were patrolling seriously. Teng Qing Shan himself was also in the Purple Crystal Mining Area, outside a spacious stone house. This stone house was where Teng Qing Shan lived on Tie Liang Mountain.

  "Hahaha!" The bonfire was burning fiercely.

  Teng Qing Shan held a revolving gun in his hand and was standing beside a bonfire, fully immersed in practicing his shooting skills.

  "That's the idea of being placed in a desperate situation and then coming back to life! That kind of hopeless yet hopeful atmosphere......" Teng Qing Shan was pondering, over the past month, he had broken down and merged the 81 moves of "Liu Huo Qiang Jue" into five major atmospheres, and now he had already created four gun techniques.

  The first move - Fire Tree Silver Flower! This move is very dreamy, beautiful, and also easy to confuse the enemy.

  The second move - Fire on the Oil! The name "Teng Qing Shan" is a bit tacky, but it's simple and easy to understand, clearly reflecting the power of this move. As soon as the gun is fired, the power bursts out instantly, just like pouring oil on fire.

  The third move - Plucking Chestnuts from the Fire! This move is extremely vicious, extremely fast, and silent.

  The fourth move - Prairie Fire! This move is a group attack technique that consumes a lot of energy, but its power is also astonishing.

  Now there is only this fifth move left. The meaning of this fifth move is somewhat similar to the realm of melancholy, but slightly different.

  "No!" Teng Qing Shan slightly shook his head.

  At first, to create 'Fire Tree Silver Flower', it only took three days, but as time went on, Teng Qing Shan spent more and more time. To be honest, although these few moves are powerful, they can't compare to 'Like a Shadow Following the Form', 'Mixed Yuan One Qi' and 'Poisonous Dragon Drill'. After all, Teng Qing Shan had been practicing the Five Elements Fist for many years in his past life.

  It took another decade or so of hard work to come up with these three moves.

  Seemingly simple, yet already returned to its true nature, with astonishing power.

  However, the "cannon fist" evolved from the Five Elements Fist, Teng Qing Shan was unable to create. Teng Qing Shan had a feeling that while he was decomposing and merging the "Lihuo Gun Jue", his understanding of fire attributes was also improving, and in his mind, the gun method evolved from the cannon fist was also clearer.

  The former "Tiger Cannon Fist" is the ultimate move of Teng Qing Shan, which evolved into a gun technique, its power should be even more powerful than the "Poison Dragon Drill".

  However, rice is eaten mouthful by mouthful.

  First create the fifth move of "Lihuo Qiang Jue" fusion, otherwise, let alone the more difficult "Paoquan".

  "In a desolate realm, and being placed in a dead land to be reborn, there is an essential difference. That boundary... " Teng Qing Shan was pondering when he suddenly ——

  "Bang!"

  Teng Qing Shan didn't turn his head to look, but saw that the bonfire beside him had dimmed a lot compared to before. Some of the wood that had been burning for a while had red sparks on it, which would brighten and then darken from time to time. Teng Qing Shan casually picked up two dry pieces of wood from beside him and threw them over. Instantly, the surface of the wood that had been burning for a long time burst into flames.

  "Huh?"

  At the moment when the red flames burst forth on Mars, a gleam of inspiration flashed through Teng Qing's mind, and his eyes lit up!

  "Right!"

  Teng Qing Shan grasped the Reincarnation Spear beside him, closed his eyes, and with his right hand gripping the spear handle and left hand holding the spear body, he first pulled back on the spear handle before suddenly thrusting it forward. The internal energy within Teng Qing Shan's body surged into the Reincarnation Spear, causing its spearhead to rapidly shoot out in front of him.

  When stabbed to the limit, the gun head shook slightly.

  Hoo! Hoo!

  A visible vortex of energy appeared on the gun head.

  "That's it! This feeling!" Teng Qing Shan was overjoyed and immediately turned around, firing another shot at the trunk of a large tree beside him.

  Pong!

  The spearhead pierced the trunk, producing an explosive sound. The tree trunk that required two people to hug it directly appeared with a terrifying large hole. Wood chips flew wildly, and this big tree began to tremble, as if it would fall at any moment. The surrounding Black Armor Army soldiers were shocked, each one becoming more cautious.

  "Everyone be careful, don't get crushed by the big tree!" Teng Qing Shan burst out laughing and immediately followed with a flying kick. The big tree suddenly crashed down in front of Teng Qing Shan, but the Black Armor Army soldiers had already made way for it.

  "Wow, what great marksmanship! Such a thick big tree was knocked down!"

  "Our adults, that marksmanship is first-rate."

  The soldiers all cheered up one by one.

  Hong Qing Shan was secretly delighted, thinking to himself: "My flying knife 'Yan Ran Yi Dao' can only control the explosion of the knife at a distance. But just now, with my internal energy combined with my strength and spiritual guidance, I actually produced that swirling internal energy. The power of this shot is quite impressive! Hmm... let's call this move 'Fire Burns to Ashes'!"

  Teng Qing Shan was very satisfied with this move.

  This "Blazing Gun Manual" combines five moves, and this "Fire Extinguishing Transmission" is the most powerful move.

  "It's a pity that this move must rely on 'inner strength' to achieve this effect, and it can't be done with just physical strength! However, with my inner strength, the power of this move is already quite good. Teng Qing Shan's mind became even clearer about the gun techniques that 'Cannon Fist' could evolve into in the future."

  After spending more than a month, I finally came up with these five moves.

  Hong Qing Shan felt great at this moment, and immediately held the Wheel of Reincarnation to start patrolling in the Amethyst Mine area.

  "Older brother!"

  "Older brother!"

  Those patrolling Hei Jia Jun soldiers immediately saluted when they saw Tun Qing Shan.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan smiled faintly and nodded, glancing at the mine entrance, where people had already started to emerge. "Is mining over for today?"

  "Yes, sir. The laborers in the mine have all come out." The black armor soldier said respectfully.

  Teng Qing Shan walked towards the mine with a smile, the surrounding area had been dug out and sunken, with extremely deep tunnels within. Teng Qing Shan followed one of the tunnels as he walked inside. At this time, many laborers were walking out one by one, and upon seeing Teng Qing Shan, they all bowed their heads in greeting.

  Their faces, hair and bodies are all covered with dust, dirty.

  "Second Dog, how much Zi Jin did you dig up today?"

  "Look, I've dug out so much fingernail-sized dirt today! It's the most I've done in a month! But it still has to be handed over, no matter how much more we dig, it's not ours."

  "Look at this, eight people dug up purple gold, and it's only this much."

  Teng Qing Shan's eyes landed on the man who was speaking, and he saw that the man had some purple gold fragments in his palm. Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow and said: "The purple gold of eight people, how did it all end up in your hands?"

  "Sir." The man, seeing Tan Qing Shan, was so frightened that he bowed and then said, "These funds, my brothers asked me to hand them over to the Black Armor Army officers on their behalf. This way, it's more convenient for the officers too."

  "What's your name?" Teng Qing Shan said.

  The man was somewhat frightened: "I, I am Wu Dagang!"

  Hong Qing Shan nodded, took a glance inside the mine and then turned around to walk out. Not far from the entrance of the mine, two Black Armor Army soldiers were sitting at a table, collecting the purple gold dug up by each miner and recording it on a ledger.

  Heng Qing Shan nodded secretly: "According to the rules of the Guiyuan Sect, the hard labor in the purple crystal mine area is not allowed to contact with miners from other mine areas. Moreover, their residences are inspected at irregular intervals. When leaving, they have to strip naked, shave their heads, and be given a new set of clothes, making them leave completely clean. Indeed, it's to prevent someone from stealing purple gold!"

  The rules of the Zi Jin mining area are much stricter than those of the other four major mining areas.

  It's hard to steal quietly into the imperial palace, as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  "What did General Hei Jia Jun say to you, Da Gann?" some of the laborers asked Wu Da Gann.

  "It's nothing." Wu Dagang said casually, glancing at Teng Qing Shan who had walked far away. Only then did he secretly let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "The day after tomorrow is March 28th! At this critical moment, I'd better be careful not to attract the attention of the Black Armor Army. Otherwise, it would ruin Big Brother's plans."

  Wu Dagang immediately returned to his residence.

  ……

  It was soon March 28th.

  According to the rules of the Tie Lian Shan mining area, among the four major gold mines, workers who want to return home to visit their relatives can only do so on the 28th of each month. Only one day a month! As for the Zi Jin mine, there is only one opportunity to leave the mine per year.

  This day, early morning.

  A faint mist pervades, looking very refreshing, and the bitter workers are in a good mood today.

  "Working day and night in this place, I'm exhausted to death. Even sleeping is uncomfortable. At least I can finally go back."

  "Haha, missing your wife now?"

  "Haha, sleeping on this cold wooden bed is no match for sleeping at home with your wife."

  A group of miners were chatting with each other, lining up one by one to receive a body search before they could leave the mining area.

  "Don't be foolish, one by one! Once gold is found, even if it's just a tiny bit of gold, you'll be executed on the spot!" One of the low-ranking soldiers shouted loudly. "Before we search your bodies, check yourselves carefully so as not to be framed and blamed by others. By the time we discover it, whatever you say will be useless."

  A group of guards blocked the road, scrutinizing this group of laborers, with special guards conducting body searches.

  According to the rules, the hard labor of searching for gold mines is generally done by ordinary soldiers.

  The hard labor of searching for gold in the Zi Jin mining area was done by soldiers from the Hei Jia Jun.

  Just then, a big strong man with a thick black beard walked over in big strides.

  "Sir!" Those soldiers immediately saluted, the newcomer being the commander of the Huafeng City Garrison, a position second only to the city lord. These small soldiers were naturally very respectful.

  "Hmm." Hu Tong's gaze swept over the lined-up laborers, and he immediately barked orders at the soldiers, "Brothers, be serious and meticulous, search every single person thoroughly, don't miss a single one!"

  "Don't worry, sir, they won't be able to take a single piece of gold away." A soldier immediately chimed in with flattery.

  "Hmm." Hu Tong nodded.

  His eyes scanned the surroundings again, and suddenly he caught sight of a middle-aged man wearing a simple patched robe walking towards him from tens of meters away. Hu Tong's eyes lit up instantly.
