After eating lunch, Zhao Hai rested for a while before continuing his work in the afternoon. Zhao Hai was still digging with his hands. However, when he reached 500 jin, Zhao Hai stopped. Then he went to Elder Xing's residence and said, "Elder, Zhao Ling wishes to see you."
Elder Xing's voice was heard, "Come in." Zhao Hai entered Elder Xing's residence. Elder Xing was sitting cross-legged as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Elder, this disciple has completed today's task. Can I freely allocate the remaining time?"
When Elder Xing heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he nodded and said, "Right, you can. As long as you complete today's task, nobody will care about what you do. But remember, you must eat dinner."
Zhao Hai replied, "Yes." Then he cupped his fist towards Elder Xing before leaving the residence.
After coming out of Elder Xing's residence, Zhao Hai didn't return to the mine to rest. Instead, he went to a mountain wall. He looked at the mountain wall and nodded. This mountain wall was a protrusion that was about a meter wide. Zhao Hai stood there and nodded in satisfaction. Then he stretched his body and stood in front of the mountain wall. Then he stretched out his arms and lashed out at the mountain wall like two whips. One could see how ruthless Zhao Hai was.
Zhao Hai made such a big move that it naturally alarmed the other cultivators. The cultivators who were working hard to extract the stones stared blankly at Zhao Hai. For a moment, they didn't know what Zhao Hai was doing.
After some time, a Cultivator finally reacted. He turned his head and looked at the pile of ores beside him. This pile of ores was enough for today. However, he wanted to mine more so that he could relax in the future.
Actually, what Zhao Hai didn't know was that in the mines, there were a lot of Cultivators who didn't need to mine ores. This was because as their strength increased, they accumulated a lot of ores. In the end, they didn't need to do anything. All they needed to do was to hand over their savings.
For so many years, generations after generations of bitter cultivation, before entering the mine, they would all work hard in the first part of the field. In the last part of the field, they would wander around leisurely every day. When it was time, they would just have a meal. In any case, they had already accumulated enough ores to mine every day. The last part of the field was used to rest.
The Unbreakable Sect didn't have any objections to this practice. This made the Cultivators think that the sect wanted them to work hard in the early stages and give them some time to relax.
However, Zhao Hai's actions today made the Cultivators stare. They suddenly remembered that when they were mining ores, the most they could do was to strengthen their bodies. Besides their hands, the other parts of their bodies didn't have any contact with ores. Therefore, even if their physical strength increased, the other parts of their bodies didn't have any changes.
But today, Zhao Hai's actions were equivalent to using the remaining time to cultivate. He wanted to fully develop his body's potential and even develop his body's defensive capabilities.
The Cultivators suddenly understood why all the disciples of the Unbreakable Sect had to go through a year of bitter cultivation. But in the end, there were still some who entered the Inner Court while others could only wait in the Outer Court. This was because their previous practice was simply wrong. The sect knew that they had a lot of time to spare. But this time wasn't for them to stroll around, it was for them to cultivate.
Seeing Zhao Hai hitting the mountain wall with his arms, the Cultivators of the Unbreakable Sect couldn't help but feel ashamed. Then a Cultivator stopped mining. Because he had enough, he ran to the mountain wall and started hitting it with other parts of his body.
If there was a first, there would be a second. After one cultivator did this, the other cultivators followed suit. In just a moment, the valley was filled with the sound of people hitting the mountain walls and groaning.
To be honest, when Zhao Hai saw the Cultivators doing the same thing as him, he was surprised. However, he didn't say anything and just continued with his training. After training his arms, it was his legs, and then his body. He used his body to hit the mountain wall. Although he was wearing iron armor, it was still very painful. However, he didn't stop. This was because he knew that this was the only way to develop his body's potential to the fullest.
At this time, Elder Xing also came out of his cave. He looked at the people who were abusing their bodies against the mountain wall and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then his unchanging expression actually revealed a trace of a smile. Then he muttered, "It seems like I'll have to give them more Blazing Wine. There's no meaning in having meat but no wine." After saying that, he turned around and returned to his cave and didn't appear again.
The sky slowly darkened. Zhao Hai had already trained every part of his body before he stopped. At this time, Elder Xing's voice was heard, "Let's eat."
Upon hearing this, a lot of Cultivators fell to the ground. They had been clenching their teeth and persevering. To be honest, this kind of self-abuse really tested a person's willpower. As long as one's willpower was weak, then they would immediately give up. After all, this kind of training was voluntary, no one forced them.
However, these people also knew that if they didn't get their food, then they would be punished even more. Because of this, they dragged their bodies that were about to fall apart and walked towards Elder Xing.
At this time, some people had already gotten their dinner from Elder Xing. It was still a piece of raw meat. But in addition to the raw meat, Elder Xing also gave them a small pot. This small pot wasn't big, it could only hold about half a jin of wine. The Cultivators who received the small pot were stunned. However, they didn't dare to ask Elder Xing anything. They just took the small pot and silently walked to the side. After finding a place to sit down, they opened the small pot.
As soon as the small pot was opened, the aroma of wine assailed their nostrils. The aroma of the wine was very strong, giving people a feeling of intoxication. Normally, people wouldn't like this wine because it was too strong. But for people who eat raw meat every day, this aroma was the most wonderful aroma in the world.
These people couldn't help but pick up the wine and drink it in big mouthfuls. They hadn't tasted this taste for a long time. They could finally taste something other than raw meat.
But soon, these people regretted it. This was because the wine was too little, only a few jin. For these Cultivators, half a jin of wine could be drunk in a few mouthfuls.
But this wasn't the end. After drinking the wine, they felt as if their bodies were on fire. Heat was coming out of their bodies. They felt as if they could spit fire from their mouths. Most importantly, they felt that their minds were somewhat unclear. This was clearly a sign of drunkenness.
These people didn't believe that this was real. One must know that they were Cultivators. Although their spiritual qi was sealed, they were Body Cultivators. Their bodies were incomparably strong. How could a mere half a jin of wine make them drink? This was impossible, right? But the truth was in front of them. They had no choice but to believe it.
At this time, they heard Elder Xing's voice, "Eat all the meat. Otherwise, I'll double the amount." These people stared blankly, then they looked down at the blood in their hands. Without saying anything, they ate it in two or three bites. They didn't taste anything at all, but once the meat entered their mouths, the burning sensation in their mouths disappeared.
But now that they were a little drunk, they couldn't care less. One by one, they ran back to the mine and fell asleep. Naturally, they slept very soundly.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai wasn't like these people. As soon as he opened the wine and smelled it, he knew that this wasn't ordinary wine. It was a very strong medicinal wine. He had the Space analyze the wine and the result was that this wine could heal internal injuries. It was also very useful for Body Cultivators.
Of course, Zhao Hai wouldn't waste it. He took a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat. Zhao Hai discovered that after taking a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat, not only did he lose the feeling of being on fire, but the meat that was originally bloody and hard to swallow also had a sweet taste because of the wine.
This discovery made Zhao Hai very happy. This was because he didn't need to rely on the souls of animals to eat meat. Although this was more convenient, Zhao Hai still felt uncomfortable. It was as if he had turned into a beast, this feeling wasn't very good.
After eating the meat with the wine, Zhao Hai stood up and looked at the sky. Then he slowly walked back to the mine and found a place to lie down. At this time, the mine was filled with snoring sounds. An average person wouldn't be able to sleep for a long time. Fortunately, Zhao Hai wasn't an average person. His spiritual force was very strong, he was able to automatically block out the sounds.
After a night of silence, Zhao Hai woke up early the next morning. When he opened his eyes, he heard the snoring sounds coming from all around him. He couldn't help but smile as he stood up. To be honest, he slept on a rock for the entire night. But with his physical strength, he didn't have any problems, he just felt a little uncomfortable.
After coming out of the mine, Zhao Hai stretched his meridians and bones. Then he went to a small stream next to the mine and washed his face. After that, he returned to the mine. Then he clenched his fists and practiced a set of very ordinary fist techniques to move his meridians and bones.
Before long, people started to get up one after another. After these people got up, they felt that their bodies were wrapped in a warm current. It was indescribably comfortable. Moreover, they abused their bodies yesterday, but today, they didn't feel any pain at all. This was really strange.
One must know that although they were Body Cultivators, their recovery ability was very strong. But don't forget that their spiritual qi had been sealed. Without spiritual qi to help them recover, their recovery speed would decrease by a lot. Normally, if they practiced like they did yesterday, they would feel pain all over their bodies. But now, they felt very comfortable, they didn't feel any pain at all. This made them stare for a moment, then they immediately thought of the jug of wine from last night.
They understood that the jug of wine that Elder Xing gave them last night wasn't simple. It could actually help them recover. This discovery made them ecstatic. One by one, they ran out of the mine in high spirits. However, as soon as they came out, they saw Zhao Hai practicing a set of fist techniques. Zhao Hai's fist technique wasn't a high-level fist technique, it was a very continental fist technique. This fist technique was called the Long Fist. It was a set of fist techniques that all Cultivators in the True Spirit World knew. When Cultivators first started to cultivate, besides cultivating their spiritual qi, they would also practice this set of fist techniques. Naturally, this set of fist techniques wasn't very good in terms of attack power. However, this set of fist techniques could stretch one's muscles and bones, as well as increase one's strength. It was an absolutely basic fist technique for Cultivators.
Everyone looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. They didn't know why Zhao Hai was practicing this set of fist techniques. However, after watching for a while, they stopped looking at it. After all, the Long Fist was too ordinary. Even if you practice it, it would still be a Long Fist. There was nothing special about it. The Cultivators also ran to the stream to wash up.
After washing up, they stretched their muscles and practiced some martial arts. Then, Elder Xing came to eat. It was still raw meat. However, it was raw meat. There was no wine.
The Cultivators didn't dare to say anything. They didn't dare to ask for wine from Elder Xing. In this mine, Elder Xing was the heavens. If they didn't listen to Elder Xing, then the punishment would be very heavy. Moreover, don't think about waiting for your strength to recover or your status to rise and retaliate against Elder Xing. That's impossible. Elder Xing was one of the Great Elders of the Unyielding Sect. His cultivation was unpredictable. Moreover, his status as a Great Elder wasn't just for show. Even if you become a core disciple in the future, you still wouldn't be able to retaliate against a Great Elder. If you dare to take action, then even if you were a core disciple, the sect would still punish you. Therefore, for these cultivators, Elder Xing was their heaven. They had to be obedient and not think about anything else.
After eating, the day's work began. Zhao Hai was the same as yesterday. He used his hands to dig stones. After digging enough, he went to the side to cultivate. But today, there were people who dug up stones earlier than him. Because of this, the entire mine became lively.
Just as the Cultivators thought, at night, Elder Xing gave each of them a jug of wine. It was the same wine as yesterday. These people didn't drink the wine in one gulp like yesterday. Instead, they were like Zhao Hai. They ate one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine at a time. After eating, they went to rest.
Day after day passed by. The Cultivators seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life. They were operating like machines. During this time, some people left the mine because their time for cultivation had come. But there were also some people who just came to cultivate. Because of this, the number of people in the mine didn't decrease.
