Su Yu turned his head to take a look. It was a boorish man with a full beard. He was sitting on an old-fashioned wooden armchair, and his tiger-like eyes were staring at them.
The youth trembled in fear, immediately picking up his shovel to dig.
Su Yu was about to follow, but the brute pointed his whip at Su Yu. "Newbie, come here!"
The people in the Ninth Mine hadn't changed much, so when Su Yu appeared, he immediately recognized him.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
The brute pointed his whip at the deepest part of the mine. "Your mission is to dig ten feet deep in three days. If you fail, humph!"
Smack —
His leather whip struck the ground fiercely, making an incomparably ear-piercing explosive sound.
"I understand." Su Yu picked up the ordinary shovel and walked over.
As he passed the youth, he looked at Su Yu sympathetically. "Brother, bear with it. This is the new supervisor's method. Every one of us has been treated like this before."
Giving the slaves impossible tasks, then taking the opportunity to punish them, quickly establishing his authority.
This method was not brilliant, but it was very effective.
Su Yu nodded, walking to the deepest part of the mine.
This was also the deepest place in the entire mine.
Su Yu stood in front of a giant rock mountain.
He tried to dig with the ordinary shovel, but it did not even leave a shallow mark.
"It can't be?" Su Yu was stunned.
He had long heard that the soil in the mine was much harder than the vegetable garden.
But how could it be so hard?
To dig ten feet deep with an ordinary shovel would take more than a month, let alone three days.
Luckily, Su Yu had bought a special shovel.
During the day, he would use an ordinary shovel to knock and knock as though he was doing it.
When night fell, he would use the special shovel.
Ding —
With a shovel, the hard rock was dug out like mud.
"It's pretty easy," Su Yu said with a slight smile.
The next day.
The brute came to the mine with his hands behind his back, ready to urge the slaves to carry out the day's work.
But when he arrived, he saw a group of slaves gathered in the deepest part of the mine, all exclaiming in admiration.
"Miracle! What a miracle! "
"Brother Su, how did you do it? What's the trick? "
"That's right. When you left yesterday, you didn't even dig an inch. How did you manage to dig three feet in one night?"
The boorish man frowned and walked over with his hands behind his back. He shouted, "Out of the way!"
The group of people stepped aside, revealing the strange mine.
"Hmm?" The boorish man raised his brows, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. He then looked at Su Yu and asked, "Did you dig it?"
"If not?" Su Yu asked.
Other than him, could it be that there was someone else helping to dig it out?
"Impossible! How did you do it? Speak! "The boor glared angrily.
What he wanted was not Su Yu's rapid mining progress, but to intimidate him.
"Lord, I'm only in charge of mining. If I feel that I'm digging too fast, I can slow down. Of course, I will report to the sect." The Supreme Sect only wanted the slaves to be more efficient, who would dare to order the slaves to slow down?
The boorish man stared at Su Yu coldly. After a long while, he bared his teeth and said, "Newbie, you probably don't understand your current situation."
Su Yu's expression was indifferent as he said, "You don't have to worry about my situation."
As he spoke, he continued to mine without any expression.
"Hmph!" The boorish man gave a cold grunt. "Just you wait and see!"
There was still a long way to go. A mere slave dared to provoke him, he really didn't know how to spell the word death!
Su Yu did not care. He took the scroll and prepared to return to the resting room, waiting for the Nine Serenities Evil Wind to arrive before leaving.
Unexpectedly, the young neighbor knocked on the door and said, "Brother Su, I'm here to learn from you."
Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then invited him in.
"Brother Yu is overthinking, I was just lucky." Su Yu could not be bothered to explain further.
The neighbor in front of him was called Yu Xiang Wan, also from a small and remote region world.
"Is that so? Could it be that Brother Su is not afraid of the Nine Serenities Evil Wind and often goes out in the middle of the night is also luck? "
But unexpectedly, Yu Xiang Wan's bitter expression changed, and she suddenly said in a mysterious tone.
Su Yu's eyes were calm, only looking up to see if the stone door was closed.
"I have poor eyesight, I didn't see that Brother Yu is the one hiding his abilities," Su Yu said indifferently. Shreds of obscure Mysterious Energy quietly gathered in his palm.
If the other party dared to threaten him, he did not mind killing him.
"In terms of hiding your abilities, how can I compare to Brother Su, who has mastered the space and life domains?" Yu Xiang Wan said with a faint smile.
Every day, he would look tired and return to the resting room to sleep, but in reality, he had the means to observe the situation outside. He could even see that Su Yu had mastered the life domain.
As for the space domain, he must have noticed that Su Yu had used it when he escaped from the law enforcers.
"Brother Yu, I don't think you came tonight to compare who has hidden more abilities, right?" Su Yu said meaningfully.
Yu Xiang Wan laughed, his temperament suddenly changing, his expression awe-inspiring. "Of course not! I came because I want to cooperate with Brother Su. "
"Oh?" Su Yu remained calm.
Yu Xiang Wan said, "How could someone who has mastered the space and life domains be willing to be a slave for life?"
"You mean?"
Yu Xiang Wan said, "What I mean is, we should not be willing to be mediocre. We should seek to escape from this place, at least until we become the gatekeepers of the Greater One Sect."
It was yet another meaningless reward for Su Yu.
"I'm not interested," Su Yu said straightforwardly.
But Yu Xiang Wan seemed to have done his homework and chuckled. "Even if you're not a gatekeeper, don't you care about the news of the Sinful Lady Palace?"
Huh?
Su Yu's pupils finally shrank. "You know?"
"Of course not," Yu Xiang Wan said. Yu Xiang Wan said, "But I know that for official disciples, if they have enough Time Crystals, they can use the Taiyi Haotian Mirror once. If even the mirror doesn't know where the Sinful Lady Palace is, even if you put up a bounty for all 344 sects in the entire Realm of Dreams, no one would know."
Taiyi Clear Sky Mirror?
"This mirror can only be borrowed by people with the status of Hall Master and above in the Greater One Sect. The amount of time crystals needed is also an astronomical figure." Yu Xiang Wan did not hide anything and said honestly, "If you have the confidence, you can try to be promoted to the position of Hall Master. If you have other plans, just pretend I didn't come today."
These words caused Su Yu to sink into deep thought.
If what he said was true, the Taiyi Clear Sky Mirror could search the heavens and the earth, which was far better than the bounty.
Then his plan had to be slightly changed.
At least, he wouldn't have to wait for the person in the know to take the bounty.
"Let me think about it." Su Yu did not agree immediately.
Yu Xiang Wan showed a hint of relief.
If Su Yu agreed immediately, he would doubt Su Yu's sincerity.
Since he was considering it, it meant he was tempted.
After sending him off, Su Yu waited for the Nine Underworlds Evil Wind to blow and immediately went to the mine to continue digging.
One day passed. Two days passed.
Finally, the next day, he completed the task of digging ten meters deep as promised. The boorish man could only stare at him coldly but could do nothing.
When the day's work was over, Su Yu immediately went to the upper level.
After spending a time crystal, he successfully entered the library and flipped through the historical materials of the Greater One Sect.
After searching, he did find information about the Taiyi Clear Sky Mirror.
The description was exactly the same as Yu Xiang Wan's.
"It's true." Su Yu thought for a long time. Seeing that it was still early, he immediately rushed to the Phoenix Domain where Xianyin was.
With the token, the guard of the domain informed Xianyin for him.
Before long, Xianyin came out with a face full of joy and said, "It's great that you can come, follow me!"
She led Su Yu into the Phoenix Domain.
The people who lived in the Phoenix Domain were all female gatekeepers of the Greater One Sect. There were very few males.
The appearance of a male slave, Su Yu, made many female gatekeepers who passed by frown.
Under Xianyin's lead, Su Yu and Yu Xiang Wan came to a pavilion.
In the pavilion.
Xianyin poured tea for Su Yu enthusiastically.
Su Yu went straight to the point. "My Lady, may I ask what the cooperation is?"
Since he wanted to cooperate with Yu Xiang Wan to become an official gatekeeper, he might as well ask Xianyin what kind of cooperation she was referring to.
Xianyin set up an isolation spell around the two of them, then said carefully, "In view of the fact that there were people from the faction who wantonly sold the faction's Nine Underworlds Crystals, the faction has decided to send a group of troops to the Dark Moon Tribe a month's journey away.
That Dark Moon Tribe is most likely the place where those traveling merchants stay. "
Su Yu thought for a moment. "What does this have to do with our cooperation?"
"If you can make a contribution in the process of killing the Dark Moon Tribe, the lowest reward is 100 Time Crystals. If you can make a great contribution, you can successfully become an official gatekeeper." Xianyin's eyes were filled with anticipation. She looked at Su Yu and said, "According to what I know, the faction will send some slaves to cooperate in the battle. As a gatekeeper, I have the right to recommend a gatekeeper."
Su Yu's expression was calm. "Then what does My Lady want me to help you with this operation?"
"Kill the traveling merchants!" Xianyin's eyes flickered. "Since you have seen the traveling merchants, you should know that they have an unusually large reserve of Time Crystals, right?"
"I recommend you to join this operation, but in exchange, you have to help me kill a traveling merchant," Xianyin said. "The traveling merchant's Time Crystals belong to me, and the credit belongs to you. I get the Time Crystals, and you make a great contribution to become an official gatekeeper. We will both benefit, how about that?"
It sounded wonderful.
Unfortunately, Su Yu did not believe a single word of her words.
Why should she give the credit for killing the traveling merchant to Su Yu?
He could get the Time Crystals and the credit at the same time. Wasn't that good?
He did not think that Xianyin was such a generous person. On the contrary, she was greedy for money. She had once almost whipped Su Yu to death in order to snatch a pound of eighth-grade Nine Underworlds Crystal.
Could such a person be trusted?
"If you agree, I will recommend you to the faction now. Then, from now on, you will not have to mine for the time being. You can stay in the upper level until the day we set off," Xianyin said.
Su Yu thought for a moment, then said, "My Lady, please give me a night's time to consider. After all, this is a serious matter."
"Alright, I will wait for your reply tomorrow night," Xianyin said straightforwardly.
She personally sent Su Yu off the Phoenix Domain. As she watched Su Yu enter the lower level of the mine, the smile on her face finally disappeared.
