701: C701 Cake

C701 Cake

A few of the thousands of miners fell to the ground, exhausted, and immediately a supervisor came forward and whipped the man with a black whip. One whip was enough to cause a bloody mess. If they did not want to die, they could only get up and continue working.1

Humans were a kind of creature that was loyal to killing each other. Therefore, from the ancient era onwards, this seemingly weak race stepped on the heads of all creatures and climbed to the top of the food chain step by step.

If there really was a day when the world harmonized and humans coexisted harmoniously, perhaps they would lose their current status.

"What about the steward? Come over here for a moment!"

The two guards who were leading Shen Qingfeng shouted. Immediately, a short fatty ran over. Due to his size, it was very funny when he ran. However, if one added the long whip stained with blood in his hand, it meant that this man was a cruel and merciless person.

"Generals, this lowly one is Wang Ying. What orders do you have?"

Ying Wang cupped his fists and said with a flattering expression.

"I have brought you a genius with an excellent constitution. Cultivate him well and try to bring back a few perfect-grade Devil Jade for the mine owner."

"Also, don't torture the miners here. If you beat them to death, I will send you down to work?"

The two guards were people of high status to the supervisors in the inner area. When they spoke, they were not polite at all. However, that was only limited to this. To them, the lives of ordinary workers were like grass. What they were truly worried about was that the mining progress of the Devil Jade would not be able to keep up. Once the mine owner was furious, no one would have a good ending!

"Understood! Understood! This lowly one will definitely obey the military master's orders and won't kill the miners... This little brother's aptitude is truly rare in a hundred years! I will definitely nurture him well..."

After being scolded, Wang Ying's mood did not change at all. In his words, a man should know when to yield and when to yield. Even if someone were to point at his nose and scold him, he would not fall out on the spot.

He also had the cultivation of transcending tribulation. After carefully sizing up the young man, his eyes immediately lit up. Every year, he also had a mission quota. If he could complete it beyond the quota and win the joy of the mine owner, there would naturally be no lack of rewards!

"Alright, you take care of yourself!"

The two guards nodded and left Shen Qingfeng behind. The mining area was a sealed area in the city. Without permission from the higher-ups, one would never be able to escape. In other words, almost all the laborers had the same fate in the future - to be buried in a sinkhole.

"You, come with me."

After the guards left, Wang Ying straightened his back instantly. With a dead face, he waved at Shen Qingfeng and walked towards one of the mines.

Shen Qingfeng was an eight feet tall man after all, and this Wang Ying was leading the way. He was only half the height of Shen Qingfeng, and the scene looked rather funny. However, the workers were afraid of his gaze and did not dare to look him in the eye. When they heard him berate them, they were so scared that they trembled all over.

"When you get down there, there will naturally be someone to guide you on how to work. You just need to remember that you need to submit three perfect-grade Devil Jade every year. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you. No one can withstand the punishment that I have mastered once! "

"Your life is different from the others. It was bought by the mine owner with a large sum of money. It is much more expensive. Work hard. Perhaps one day, you will be appreciated by the Lord, and you will be able to leave this mining area. You might even be able to make a name for yourself!"

"It seems like you have never cultivated it before. This is a basic cultivation method. Men, bring him down!"

Wang Ying entrusted a few words to Shen Qingfeng before throwing a jade slip into Shen Qingfeng's hands and leaving. The incident of the dead in the mining area happened every day. He was already numb to it. Although he had drawn a huge flatbread for this young man, he was very clear about it. The young man might not even be able to last for three months. As long as he could successfully bring back a perfect grade Devil Jade... This transaction would be a huge profit!

Shen Qingfeng took the jade slip and looked at it. He discovered that what was written on it was more of a cultivation technique than a cultivation technique. It was more like a technique to fight with one's life on the line. It was only suitable to stimulate one's potential at the most dangerous moment. He used himself as a candle to light it up in exchange for a short burst of power.

It seemed that they had completely treated the workers in the mining area as a tool that could be replaced. Moreover, it was a tool with a very high rate of waste, and they quickly squeezed out the last bit of value before throwing it away.

He came to the bottom of the mine. In a stone room, there were a few people squatting in a corner. Most of them were extremely numb to the outside world's stimulation. They did not even raise their heads when they heard the noise, and the death aura was very heavy.

"These are the tools and clothes for you. Get used to the environment here. The next group of people to enter the depths of the mine will set off in three days!"

A few ordinary supervisors threw the things on the ground and looked at the people in the stone room. After making sure that there were no abnormalities, they left.

"Three days later... There's so much demonic Qi here. If you stay in this place for too long, those with insufficient cultivation will go crazy..."

Shen Qingfeng did not say anything and found a place to sit down. After traveling for such a long time, he could finally rest for a while. His magic power had been sealed by someone. He wanted to try and see if there was a chance that he could undo it by himself. Soon, he entered a meditative state.

After working hard for half a day, he realized that with his current strength, it was simply wishful thinking. This seal was set up by a quasi Sovereign cultivator. It was said that the mine owner of Devil Jade Ancient Mine was only a peak Great Saint. He was already one of the top ten experts in the Divine Continent.
