An overseer was pa.s.sing by, seeing the scene, a smile bloomed on his face while asking Gao Shiping, "Martial Uncle, who is this? For an elder like you to accompany him." Yue Qianchou didn"t react to the words, as if he didn"t hear the opposite party.

Gao Shiping"s brow furrowed, he shouted to the overseer, "No disrespect, this is your martial uncle Yue Qianchou, he made a little mistake and got temporarily punished to work here, it won"t be long for him to go back compared to the average miners here.

"Martial Uncle Yue, Martial Uncle Yue," Said the overseer with a smile. The expression of the smile was a little insincere, in the mind remembered that Yue Qianchou had offended Sect Leader, if this was a small mistake, then most of the miners here could be regarded as innocent people.

"Junior Brother, don"t take his words to your heart, come let"s go drink to my place," Said Gao Shiping.

Yue Qianchou saluted with his hands while smiling, "It will be my pleasure to accept your invitation." The two people laughed, and walked toward the exit shoulder to shoulder, they attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding people, especially some miners that felt envy toward the newcomer.

The living place of the guard was nourishing, with just a single command, the refreshing good wine was quickly delivered to the table. The two people were in a good mood, they raised their gla.s.ses and enjoyed themselves.

The miners could take a day off every three days, of course it was for a reason. It"s because the work in the mine was too intensive, and most of the miner"s cultivation were below Foundation Establishment stage. If they didn"t given any rest, there would be many exhausted miners who couldn"t continue their work. This type of work was not an ordinary mortal could handle, for a mortal to do this, it could be estimated that they would only be able to excavate a few pieces of spirit stones in a day. Naturally, giving them a resting day was also to ensure the quant.i.ty of the excavated spirit stones .

In front of the table, Yue Qianchou said with a hiccup in between, "It"s a coincidence that Junior Brother has a lot of experience with mining before i got accepted into the Sect, and if Senior Brother believes in me, at the end of every three days, Senior Brother please meet with Junior Brother in the cave to continue take care of me."

The meaning of this remark was easily understood by Gao Shiping, his eyes suddenly became bright. The two of them laughed and had a friendly talk. Finally, Gao shiping insisted to accompany him back, Yue Qianchou couldn"t refuse the kindness, the result was the former directly accompanied him back to the living cave.

The arrival of "Gao the Butcher" scared the other three people living in the cave, they quickly stood up from their rest. The two arriving people still had the smell of an alcohol from their mouths and adressed each other like a close friend, it really made the opposite party in envy.

Seeing Junior Brother"s living environment, Gao Shiping"s face frowned, he patted his chest and said in guarantee, "Junior Brother is patient, tomorrow i will find you a clean abode. Don"t worry, you can count on your Senior Brother."

After the arrival of "Gao the Butcher", the three people treated Yue Qianchou with a lot of change in their expressions, they gave a lot of respect and no longer dared to ignore him.

Yue Qianchou"s heart was satisfied, then he looked at the three people. Suddenly saw a bloodied scar on the back of Shi Xiaotian, apparently being whipped by the "Wolf"s Fang Whip". Yue Qianchou couldn"t help but to ask him, "Shi Xiaotian, what happened to your back?"

Hearing the question, Shi Xiaotian quickly stood up and arrived before his martial uncle. After seeing that Yue Qianchou had a good relationship with the guard, he no longer dared to act like before. Originally, Shi Xiaotian"s task was not completed by 100 pieces of low-grade spirit stones, according to the rule, he would get whipped by the barbed whip, the injury was exactly because of it.

Seeing that the opposite party was willing to talk, Yue Qianchou asked more questions, and Shi Xiaotian answered one by one.

Shi Xiaotian was unlucky, his family was the n.o.ble of the Huaxia Empire, because of his good root bones, a Core Formation cultivator from Green Light Sect wanted to accept him as a disciple. Having a family member to cultivate to immortality was a blessing for the Huaxia Empire, his family naturally accepted the offer. So Shi Xiaotian got accepted as Green Light Sect disciple, with a good root bones, he reached Qi Condensation level four in his first year. However, in the second year his master was killed on the mountain, and n.o.body knew who the killer was. Worst of all, he and the grandson of one of the Green Light"s elders had a crush on a certain female disciple. Young people! he inevitably did some controversial thing, the result offended that elder, so he was punished to work in the mine.

When Yue Qianchou heard him said that his master was also died, he couldn"t help but stared at him meaningfully with his two eyes, when he said that he was fighting for a woman, Yue Qianchou couldn"t help but curved his mouth in smile. When looking at Shi Xiaotian, thre was a kind feeling of kinship. So he had the idea of helping him.

"Tomorrow, you and i will mine for spirit stones together!" Finished saying, Yue Qianchou went to cross-legged on the corner and closed his eyes.

Shi Xiaotian was suprised for a moment, even though he was unwilling, but he didn"t dare to refuse. Until many years later, he would remember what happened tonight, he would heave sigh about his fate and made a joke about it. His fate from that night completely turned a corner.

The next day, Yue Qianchou was unaware when did he start falling asleep while sitting cross-legged,  he dreamed about certain young woman taking a bath on the forbidden mountain, it might be because he listened to Shi Xiaotian"s envious story, the day dreaming turned into a dream, otherwise, how could the dream about the immortal sister appeared again after a long time. When he woke up with a yawn, it was already close to midday.

Wiping the saliva on his mouth, Shi Xiaotian"s dirty face with a faint anxiety came before him. Looking around the cave, there was no figure of the two other people, Yue Qianchou made a satisified smile, he would never mistreat anyone who listened to him.

"Martial Uncle, you are awake, it"s almost noon, let"s hurry up!" Shi Xiaotian actually had wanted to leave, but he was concerned about the relationship between Yue Qianchou and Guo the Butcher, he was still seeing the shadow of him.

Yue Qianchou only glanced at the two mining tools in front of him and wentempty-handed. Shi Xiaotian picked up the two baskets to keep up, the former looked at the opposite eyes, although he didn"t say anything, he nodded silently in his heart. If Shi Xiaotian didn"t even have such gaze, he wasn"t worth of his help.

The spirit stone mine was already empty all the way around, except for some guards, there were also some miners at the mouth cave.

"Junior Brother Yue, you really making me wait!" Gao Shiping at the mouth cave saw the two people and came closer with a laugh. Yue Qianchou waved his hand and also walked with a smile, "I didn"t dare Senior Brother Gao, i was really drunk yesterday, my body was a bit tired and i overslept."

"Who is this?" Gao Shiping looked at Shi Xiaotian in puzzlement.

Yue Qianchou said with emotion, "The more people there are, the faster of the work ah! I specially found a personal helper. I believe with him, the completion of the task will be quite easier."

"Ha! I believe in Junior Brother"s ability, it won"t certainly disappoint me," Gao Shiping"s words were only understood by Yue Qianchou, and he saw him offering a package covered in banana leaves, "It"s another three days for Junior Brother to go in, here is a little food, Junior Brother please take it!"

Smelling the fragrance of the meat, Yue Qianchou thanked him and took the package. The other overseers" eyes almost escaped from their sockets, when did "Guo the Butcher" became so attentive, some of them even wondered if the two were planning to break Yue Qianchou out of his punishment.

The other supervisors also adressed Martial Uncle Yue in polite way, the two late miners were inspected, and finally went into the cave. Even Shi Xiaotian was really surprised about the situation, the infamous cold butcher actually nodded and smiled at him, he would never imagined this thing to happen even in thousand years.

Yue Qianchou walked slowly toward the deepest part of the mine. Shi Xiaotian was behind him, halfway through a daytime, but they still didn"t stop walking.

Along the way to the hole he dug yesterday, Yue Qianchou stopped his step and smiled, "Have you eating anything in the morning? It"s all my fault that i overslept and i forgot to eat first, let"s eat something so we get the strength to work with," Said Yue Qianchou, then he opened tha package covered in banana leaves, revealing a large piece of overflowing fragrant golden roasted meat, he torn it to half and handed the part to Shi Xiaotian.

Yue Qianchou took a bite, "Uh! It tastes is really good!" He liked this part about Gao Shiping, a man who wasn"t only there to collect the money but actually cared for him. Unlike some people in his past life who only accepted things and didn"t like to work, the kind of people he hated the most.

As Yue Qianchou savoured the taste, he suddenly heard the crying voice, and saw Shi Xiaotian was holding half of the roasted meat while crying. Yue Qianchou was surprised for a moment, he asked in puzzlement, "Why are you crying?"

"Martial Uncle, Xiaotian hadn"t eaten meat for a long time, Xiaotian is feeling homesick," Said Shi Xiaotian while sobbing in tears.

A child mentality! Yue Qianchou swallowed the meat in his mouth, "s.h.i.t! What do you think you"re doing? Crying like a little girl, hurry and eat!"

So the two guys squatted in the deepest part of the mine, a barbecue on each hands, they nibbled madly, the sound of chewing meat echoed in the cave. After eating, Shi Xiaotian patted his belly with a happy expression. Yue Qianchou told the guy to get ready to follow, he took him into the hole he had dug.

When Shi Xiaotian saw the wall in the hole were full of spirit stones, his eyes stared widely, he simply couldn"t belive it, seeing that this hole was clearly dug by someone, but why n.o.body arrived here and claimed the spirit stones. He certainly didn"t know that this was dug by Yue Qianchou, and he was too lazy to waste time picking up the low-grade ones.

Yue Qianchou pointed to the depths and said, "This is what i found, here and there, are the same as the ones you"re looking right now, enough to complete our three days worth of the task. Xiaotian, you"re to gather spirit stones for our"s three days task, do you understand?"

Shi Xiaotian nodded in excitement, "Martial Uncle rest a.s.sured, you can rest on the side and leave the task to me. It won"t be very exhausting to dig such a concentrated spirit stones."

d.a.m.n it! Father brings you here not to be lazy! Having been misunderstood, Yue Qianchou"s facial muscle twitched, he explained, "I"m taking you here not to be lazy, i want to find better veins, it"s not good to only think for today, we have to plan for the future!"

Hearing Yue Qianchou was planning to find better veins, Shi Xiaotian immediately patted his chest with a loud bang, "Martial Uncle, rest a.s.sured! You can leave this place to me."

Yue Qianchou turned a blind eye and said, "Don"t go anywhere in these three days, be at ease to keep focusing digging here! I will give you something to eat. Remember to dig until clean, the spirit stones aren"t something to be wasted," After Shi Xiaotian nodded in confirmation, he didn"t bother to say anything more, and turned around to find a good place to dig top-grade spirit stones.
