"That does sound good." The bitter Senior Brother laughed bitterly and shook his head, saying, "But Junior Brother Lin, don't blame Senior Brother for discouraging you ah. The ones in charge of assigning this task are the stewards of the three pavilions, and it's not like you don't know about our Clear Cloud Pavilion's situation. The decision is all in Eldest Senior Brother's hands, I have no say in this matter ah."
"That... is a problem." Lin Yi was also helpless. Although he wanted to do this mining task, if Meng Jueguang didn't agree, everything was just fleeting clouds.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Although the decision is in his hands, this is, after all, a recognized daily task of the Welcome Pavilion. In principle, it should be encouraged for newcomers to do it. If I bring it up in front of everyone, even if he is the Eldest Senior Brother, he can't just refuse for no reason, right?"
Although Meng Jueguang was the Eldest Senior Brother, the Welcome Pavilion was not opened by his family. Even if he had some power in his hands, it was not something he could do as he pleased. At least on the surface, he had to maintain fairness and justice. Otherwise, if the news spread, there would be people coming to settle accounts with him.
"That is the reason, but even if he is forced to agree to let you mine, he will still have ways to make things difficult for you." Senior Brother Bitter had a deep feeling about this and said, "There are good and bad minerals in the spirit jade mine. In a good mine, you can easily mine spirit jades. If you are lucky, you may be able to mine 100 pieces in three to five days. In a bad mine, the chances of finding spirit jades are very small. If you are unlucky, even if you work hard for a whole day, you will not be able to mine even one piece of spirit jade. This is a common thing."
"The mining area allocated to our Clear Cloud Pavilion is not that good to begin with, if Senior Brother Meng sends you to the worst mining area, then to collect all one hundred pieces of spirit jades, I don't know how much effort you would have to put in. Perhaps even after one or two months of hard work, you still wouldn't get paid. Instead, it will delay your own cultivation progress. The gains do not make up for the losses. "Senior Brother Bitter earnestly advised, afraid that Lin Yi would be stuck in a dead end.
"Senior Brother Ku, don't worry. I'll think about it carefully." Lin Yi nodded. Lin Yi needed those herbs, and mining was the only way to get them.
Of course, he knew the possibility that Senior Martial Brother Ku Bi was talking about. In fact, according to Meng Jueguang's style of doing things, once he mentioned that he wanted to go down to the mines, it was certain that he would be assigned to the worst mining area. If it was someone else, the final result would definitely not be worth it.
However, Lin Yi was different. Don't forget that he had the Jade Pendant Space. The nature of spirit jades was the same as the energy stones in the secular world. Since the space of the jade pendant could charge energy stones, it was very likely that it could also charge energy for spirit jades!
Lin Yi had been busy consolidating his realm for the past two days, so he hadn't tried this. But now, he could. Of course. He had to spend some time to consume enough spiritual energy in this piece of spirit jade. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see the effect when the experiment was done.
Once the experiment was really successful, it would be rich for Lin Yi. At that time, he could secretly steal some waste jades without spiritual energy from the spirit jade mine. After being charged by the space of the jade pendant, he could completely turn them into real spirit jades to trade with others.
In this way, even if Meng Jueguang assigned him to the worst mining area, it wouldn't matter. Spirit jades were not easy to find, but waste jades should not be so difficult to find! At that time, in the hands of Lin Yi, waste jades were spirit jades!
Lin Yi couldn't wait to go back to do the experiment. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Senior Brother Bitter, he looked up and saw Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong walking down from the eighth cave abode not far above. From their mouths, Lin Yi even vaguely heard his name.
These two guys with bad intentions, why did they mention his name for no reason?
While Lin Yi was secretly frowning, Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong also saw him. As if they had bumped into something, their expressions suddenly froze. After the two looked at each other, a strange evil smile appeared on their faces.
"Isn't this our Blue Cloud Pavilion's strongest newcomer? Could it be that you ran out of spirit jades? Running to find Junior Brother Bitter for warmth? " Meng Jueguang said with a face of ridicule, "Unfortunately, Junior Brother Bitter is a clay bodhisattva. He can't carry a god like you!"
Although Meng Jueguang was so sarcastic, Senior Brother Bitter still greeted him honestly, "Greetings, Senior Brother Meng." And Lin Yi also greeted him without batting an eyelid.
"Hehe, the strongest newcomer? More like the most pretentious newcomer! In next month's ranking competition, just wait to make a fool of yourself! "Meng Tong sneered.
He was still brooding over the fact that Lin Yi defeated him in one move. Especially after that, some unknown guy actually gave Lin Yi the title of Blue Cloud Pavilion's strongest newcomer. This made him very unhappy!
"Hehe … I haven't heard of the strongest newcomer. But in next month's ranking competition, I hope you won't be careless and underestimate your opponent again. Otherwise, if I accidentally defeat you in one move and end up being said to be pretentious again, I will be wronged." Lin Yi replied with a smile.
"Hmph! Just wait and see! There will be a time for you to cry! "Being exposed by Lin Yi, Meng Tong's face suddenly stiffened.
Including Meng Jueguang, everyone in Blue Cloud Pavilion thought that Meng Tong lost to Lin Yi because of carelessness. But he himself knew that in the previous fight, in order to show off, he went all out and did not have any carelessness. In other words, when Lin Yi defeated him in one move, it was a reflection of their true strength.
To be honest, Meng Tong was a little afraid of Lin Yi now. But fortunately, he had a backer like Meng Jueguang behind him. He could be taken care of openly and secretly. And Lin Yi also offended a big shot like Xu Lingchong in public, so he would be suppressed in all aspects. Under such circumstances, as long as he trained well in the next month, it would be enough for him to close the gap.
What's more, he, Meng Tong, was a local Heaven Stage Great Perfection expert. How could he be afraid of a country bumpkin like Lin Yi? Next month's ranking competition was a good opportunity to wash away his shame! At that time, he would let all the newcomers see clearly who was the strongest newcomer in Blue Cloud Pavilion!
However, when he thought of the plan he had just discussed with Meng Jueguang, Meng Tong immediately became proud. As long as the plan was successful, there was no need to wait until next month's ranking competition. He would be able to see Lin Yi, the pretentious bastard, in great misfortune!
Thinking of this, Meng Tong repeatedly signaled to Meng Jueguang with his eyes. He could not wait to see Lin Yi's misfortune.
