It was not due to luck that Duan Lingtian obtained the extra-large wicker basket.
Instead, it was a benefit that the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder had given him. Since the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's elder was not in a position to say much, Duan Ling Tian who had just arrived at the Punishment Zone was unaware of this.
Moreover, he did not know what this extra-large wicker basket represented in the Punishment Zone of the First Mine.
"These are the uniforms of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples serving in the Punishment Zone. Unlike the uniforms of the ordinary Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples, all the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples in the Punishment Zone wear the same uniforms."
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder continued to introduce the uniforms to Duan Lingtian. "For this reason, unless you take the initiative to say you're a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple in the Punishment Zone, those who don't know you won't know you're a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
In fact, he had already noticed this when he was on his way here.
The Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples were all wearing the same uniform. Moreover, it was not the uniform of the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, Vermilion Bird Sanctum, or Black Turtle Sanctum.
"Apart from that, there's a rule in the Punishment Zone that all new disciples who come to register before noon will have to mine Saint Stones in the mine on the same day. There's still about an hour before noon."
When the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder reached this part of the sentence, he hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said to Duan Lingtian, "Why don't you stay here for an hour? You can leave after an hour.
I've only registered your name, but I haven't registered your arrival time. As long as I push back your arrival time by an hour, you won't have to mine Saint Stones in the mine today. You can look for a place to rest and enter the mine tomorrow. "
It was obvious the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder was trying to help Duan Lingtian by abusing his position.
It was so obvious that he was abusing his position for personal gain. Duan Lingtian could not help but feel touched. He thought to himself, 'There are still many good people in this world!'
If the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who came to register before noon and had to enter the mine on the same day heard this, they would be so angry that they would throw up blood.
Because they didn't receive such treatment!
Duan Lingtian did not know the reason he was given such treatment was because the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder was wary of his background.
After all, in the eyes of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder, Duan Lingtian was merely a mediocre person with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. The reason he was able to obtain the protection of the Saint Land's Enforcement Hall must be due to his extraordinary background.
It was precisely because of this that the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder was so polite.
If it was someone else, even if they came to register a second before noon, he would still chase them away with a cold face to mine Holy Stones.
"Thank you for your care, Elder … However, it's still early today. I want to go down to the mine to familiarize myself with the environment."
Duan Ling Tian thanked the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder and politely declined his offer.
Since Duan Lingtian had rejected his offer, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder did not say anything else. In the end, he reminded Duan Lingtian, "You can ask the others how many Holy Stones you need to mine since the number of Holy Stones won't be the same every day. Apart from that, you can also follow them to the place where you have to hand in the Holy Stones. "
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded and bade farewell to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder before he left.
After leaving the registration area, Duan Lingtian changed into the uniform of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples serving in the Punishment Zone. He carried an extra-large wicker basket on his back and blended into the crowd of people who were carrying empty wicker baskets.
Duan Lingtian's addition to the crowd was particularly eye-catching due to the extra-large wicker basket on his back.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian noticed many people looking at him.
"Do I look that much like a 'newbie' or a 'rookie'?"
When Duan Lingtian saw these people looking at him, he could not help but feel puzzled. Until now, he still did not realize it was the extra-large wicker basket on his back that caused this.
"I don't think I've seen someone carrying an extra-large wicker basket before."
"Could he be a newbie?"
"It's possible, but not necessarily."
"However, if he's a newbie, why would he have an extra-large wicker basket? According to the previous extra-large wicker basket, we'll have to wait at least three months before the next extra-large wicker basket is issued, right? "
"I don't know about that."
…
Duan Lingtian was unaware that many of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who were staring at him were communicating with each other through Voice Transmissions.
In the end, these Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples were no longer certain that Duan Lingtian was a newbie.
This was because the extra-large wicker basket had appeared at the wrong time.
Perhaps, this fellow who carried an extra-large wicker basket was just a 'nobody' who carried an ordinary wicker basket in the past. Perhaps, he had suddenly shown his prowess and snatched an extra-large wicker basket today?
After all, there were more than 1,000 Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples in the Punishment District. It was impossible for anyone to remember the appearance of every single Four Symbols Sanctums' disciple who carried an ordinary wicker basket.
They could only barely remember the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who carried an extra-large wicker basket.
They were certain that there was no such person among the 89 people who carried an extra-large wicker basket today.
There were only two possibilities.
First, this young man was a newbie who was lucky enough to obtain an extra-large wicker basket.
Second, this young man was just a nobody who carried an ordinary wicker basket in the past. He had only managed to snatch an extra-large wicker basket today.
Out of these two possibilities, the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who were staring at Duan Lingtian were more inclined towards the latter.
This was because there was a pattern to the extra-large wicker basket's appearance. They had also grasped that pattern.
Because of this, they were certain that this young man was not a newbie.
Under normal circumstances, the extra-large wicker basket should not have appeared in the hands of a newbie at this time.
However, these Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples would never have guessed that Duan Lingtian was indeed a newbie. He was a newbie who had just arrived at the First Mine's Punishment District today.
As for the extra-large wicker basket on his back that did not follow the pattern, it was given to him by the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder at the registration office.
All of this was because he was Duan Lingtian!
It was because of his name that the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Bronze Flame Elder gave him an extra-large wicker basket in order to take care of him.
"I really hope he's just a newbie who obtained this extra-large wicker basket because he was lucky."
Many Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples stared at the extra-large wicker basket on Duan Lingtian's back. Their eyes lit up, and they were almost drooling.
An extra-large wicker basket!
This was an extra-large wicker basket!
Once they obtained an extra-large wicker basket, it would mean they would be able to reduce the distance they had to travel to hand in Saint Stones by half.
This was because the extra-large wicker basket could hold twice as many Saint Stones as an ordinary wicker basket.
Since they could not figure out Duan Lingtian's background, the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who coveted the extra-large wicker basket on Duan Lingtian's back were not in a hurry to make their move.
Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian followed the flow of people and entered one of the mines in the Punishment District.
When Duan Lingtian entered the mine, a spectacular scene appeared.
This mine seemed to have turned into a delicious cake in an instant. Compared to the other mines, the number of Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples who entered this mine was three times more than the other mines.
"Why are there so many people?"
Naturally, Duan Lingtian noticed there were so many people following behind him.
When he turned around, he saw many greedy and burning gazes on the extra-large wicker basket on his back. For a moment, he could not help but be stunned. "These people … Why are they looking at the wicker basket on my back? Don't tell me they want to snatch my wicker basket? "
Subconsciously, Duan Lingtian thought the wicker basket was a cheap item. No matter how big it was, it would not be enough to attract the attention of the Zoroastrianism disciples from the Four Symbols Sanctums.
In fact, he had forgotten the most important thing.
Perhaps, the wicker basket was a cheap item if it was placed outside.
However, in the Punishment District of the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine, an extra-large wicker basket meant they would be able to reduce the distance they had to travel to hand in Saint Stones.
By saving half of the wasted time, he would be able to complete his mission earlier every day!
Due to this reason, who would not want an extra-large wicker basket in the Punishment District?
Duan Lingtian casually picked a few people to look at. However, he discovered the wicker baskets on their backs were ordinary wicker baskets. The size of the wicker basket on his back was twice as big as the wicker basket on his back.
"It's just a cheap wicker basket. It shouldn't be enough for them to fight over it … I think I'm overthinking."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and did not think too deeply about it. He continued to follow the crowd and walked deeper into the mine.
The deeper part of the mine was the underground.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was walking through a tunnel that had been dug out that led to the underground.
The deeper he went, the wider the tunnel became. Moreover, it was filled with potholes. "These potholes … It seems like someone had forcefully removed something.
Don't tell me … There used to be a Saint Stone mine here? "
Duan Lingtian could not help but speculate as he thought about it.
After walking for a while, Duan Lingtian heard some noises coming from the tunnel in front of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Weng! Weng! Weng!
…
There were all kinds of noises as though they were playing a special song.
After walking deeper, Duan Lingtian arrived at the source of the noises. He discovered many Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples were already mining for Saint Stones.
While they were mining for Saint Stones, they displayed various Divine Abilities. This was an eye-opener for Duan Lingtian.
Some used their fists.
Some used their swords.
Some used their palms.
Some used their spears.
…
There were only things that could not be seen.
"There seems to be more and more Saint Stone mines …"
At the same time, Duan Lingtian also discovered many Saint Stone mines on both sides of the tunnel.
