C2929 A Month in a Hurry
Xu Zhi didn't know what Jiang Ting was thinking. Instead, he spoke softly. The people here were all ordinary mortals.
"What does senior brother mean?" Jiang Ting looked confused.
His heart was cold. Indeed, he was a villain. He had gotten a Spirit Stone, but it was not enough. It was his weakness that made Xu Zhi think he was easy to bully.
He looked at Xu Zhi again and said in a low voice: "Junior Brother, you must have seen it earlier, right? Other than the mortals, there are also some fellow disciples who are mining here. " Do you know how they got here? "
Jiang Ting shook his head honestly. "Junior brother doesn't know."
"Part of it was because they broke the rules of the sect and were punished. Another part was caught after they offended our Purple Frost Sect."
After a pause, Xu Zhi patted Jiang Ting's shoulder again. "Those people are not easy to deal with. If they don't put in any effort, it will be very easy for them to cause a disaster. And these eight paths don't have those troublemakers."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect senior brother to take care of junior brother like this." Jiang Ting pretended to be shocked.
After that, he handed over another Spirit Stone without a trace.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, I've stayed in this mine for three years. There really aren't many outstanding talents like you, Junior Apprentice Brother."
Sighing, Xu Zhi turned around and left. "Junior Apprentice Brother, do your best. " You're just a mortal. Don't mind them. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just beat them to death. Someone will come and receive the black iron that they excavated. Junior Apprentice Brother, you just need to watch over them. Don't let them slack off. "
After saying that, Xu Zhi also disappeared from the ore vein route.
Jiang Ting's feigned shock and smile disappeared in an instant. His eyes were filled with coldness. "Two Spirit Stones."
He only had ten Spirit Stones on him. Today, he had removed two of them... His bottom line was that he would at most take out one more. If Xu Zhi still wanted to find a reason to accept bribes, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
It was true that he did not like trouble, but that did not mean that he was afraid of trouble.
Immortal cultivation had also been cultivated for such a long time. He was very clear about the strengths and disadvantages of the Immortal Dao. How could he not mention the later stages? In the early stages, the Immortal Dao undoubtedly had a huge advantage.
Magical techniques, talismans, magical artifacts, and other things were endless. In terms of offense, there were probably very few people who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Immortal Dao.
However, the disadvantages were also extremely great... The physical body was too weak, too weak.
Not to mention magical techniques, even with the Refinement Stage physical body, if he were to launch a sneak attack, a single piece of ordinary iron would have a very high chance of killing a ninth level Refinement Stage cultivator!
There were many people in this mine, and Xu Zhi was not missing. If he was pushed too hard, a sharp stone would be able to cut off Xu Zhi's neck!
"Ding... Ding... Ding..."
As Jiang Ting was thinking, the sounds of mining could be heard from the surroundings.
Looking up, the pickaxe would occasionally touch the black iron, causing sparks to appear.
After his thoughts settled, Jiang Ting, who was preparing to cultivate, looked around silently... Cultivate? What else was there to cultivate for!
The sound of mining could be heard from all eight routes. How could he cultivate? If he really dared to cultivate, he would probably be driven mad by the noise.
Since he could not cultivate, he could only watch quietly and carry out the guarding mission honestly.
After that, under Jiang Ting's rather boring guarding, a day slowly passed.
...
Night fell.
A portion of the Purple Frost Sect disciples began to accept the ore mine's output. Jiang Tingze and the other miners left the ore mine. It was only at this moment that Jiang Ting realized that not everyone would leave.
Only those who had produced enough could leave the ore mine and rest. Those who did not produce enough and did not have the qualifications to leave could only continue digging in the mine. Only when they had dug enough could they go out and rest.
If it was not enough all the time, then they would never be able to leave.
Fortunately, Jiang Ting did not need to keep an eye on them from now on. His task of guarding the mine was to ensure that no one would cause trouble when mining.
After returning to the ground, Jiang Ting arrived at the resting place with his two companions leading the way.
En, a small building was built near the mine. It did not take up a lot of space, and the furnishings inside were very simple. It was a bed. It was a futon, a table, and a chair. The only advantage it had was that it was clean.
After sizing it up, Jiang Ting sat on the hassock and prepared to rest.
"Junior brother." Xu Zhi's voice sounded from outside.
Jiang Ting instantly opened his eyes, and a trace of hostility appeared in his eyes.
He quickly retracted his gaze. "Senior brother, why are you here?"
Jiang Ting, who had walked out of the building, looked very excited, as if he was very welcoming.
Xu Zhi spoke as if he was very familiar with him. "Junior brother, do you want to go and watch the show?"
"It's lively?" Jiang Ting raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Zhi saw this and explained in a low voice, " There was another fight in the mine today. Tsk tsk, there were two junior brothers who came to guard the mine, just like my junior brothers. They attacked the miners, and the two miners happened to be disciples of the sect. Senior Yu is handling them. "Senior brother, I was thinking that you've just arrived..."
Go and watch the show?
Thinking about it, Jiang Ting shook his head and smiled bitterly." Thank you, senior brother. It is just that junior brother is not used to guarding the mine for a day. If you go and watch the show, I am afraid you will not be able to do it. "
"Then forget it." Xu Zhi smacked his lips and did not say anything. He turned around and left.
"Small figures also have the wisdom of small figures." Jiang Ting looked at Xu Zhi's back and narrowed his eyes.
He instantly saw the purpose of Xu Zhi's visit. Xu Zhi was here to tell him that the two Spirit Stones he received were not for nothing. The place he was assigned to guard was a place for mortals. Who would dare to oppose an Immortal Cultivator like him?
Those who were not tactful would be arranged to the places where Immortal Cultivator miners were located. Once a dispute broke out, although the miners would not be punished, they would not be punished. However, the guards would not be able to get any benefits, just like what Xu Zhi had said at this moment.
It was impossible for the place he was guarding to be so lively. This was the benefit of exchanging two Spirit Stones with him.
If it was anyone else, they might really want to go and watch the show. Unfortunately, Jiang Ting... He had no interest in paying attention to some trivial matters that had nothing to do with him!
After observing for a while, Jiang Ting ignored the crowd in the distance. Instead, he turned around and returned to his room. He sat cross-legged on the hassock and began cultivating.
...
Time passed in a flash.
In next to no time, a month had silently passed.
Night fell.
Jiang Ting walked out of the mine and looked around. He slowly walked towards a beautiful courtyard not far away. Actually, that courtyard was not considered exquisite. It was only because the surrounding small buildings were too plain that they looked exquisite when compared.
Very quickly, Jiang Ting walked to the courtyard. "Senior Yu, the task of guarding the place has been completed. Junior has specially come to hand it over."
About three breaths later.
"Creak..."
The door to the exquisite courtyard opened, and Yu Zheng, whom he had seen thirty days ago, walked out.1
He lowered his head and thought for a while before he remembered who Jiang Ting was.
He then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the token."
Jiang Ting did not hesitate and handed over the token that he had gotten a month ago.
After Yu Zheng received the token, he did not observe it too much. With a flick of his finger, a stream of magic power was sent into the jade slip, leaving behind his aura.
Although it sounded complicated, it was actually very simple... The token was the proof of the mission. Yu Zheng was the person in charge of the mine. He left behind his aura, indicating that Jiang Ting's mission of guarding the mine had been completed.
