What he wanted to ask was naturally related to the secret. The two of them stood far away. No one knew what they were talking about. They only saw Lu Wanwan pointing at Yue Qianchou and scolding him, who was scared like a chicken. When the two of them came back one after another, Lu Wanwan's face was not good. Obviously, he was angry. And Yue Qianchou was dejected, as if he had been greatly wronged. It made people wonder what the former had done to the latter.
In fact, it was nothing. Lu Wanwan made it clear and directly asked him for the secret. Yue Qianchou denied it and insisted that there was no secret. He only said that his master often gave him some elixirs in the past and he really didn't know the secret. He made up his mind. Since they said there was a secret, he would blame everything on his dead master. You want to know? You can ask my master.
After learning the truth from Wu Baoru, Lu Wanwan had already regarded Yue Qianchou as a scoundrel. Naturally, he didn't believe what he said. After asking for a long time, he still didn't get the reason. Lu Wanwan was so angry that he shouted. In the end, he even threatened Yue Qianchou, but Yue Qianchou still insisted that he didn't know.
Lu Wanwan said, "You won't tell me, right? You will tell me when you are obedient. " The two of them parted on bad terms.
Then, he pulled Gao Shiping aside to talk to him with a sullen face. Everyone could see that the atmosphere was a little strange.
His granddaughter Lu Xia 'er, however, opened her big eyes carefreely and pestered Yue Qianchou, asking him to write a song for her.
Yue Qianchou glanced at Lu Xia 'er's exquisite figure that was already beginning to take shape. He cursed the old man in his heart for being so arrogant. If one day you make me angry, I'll make your granddaughter pregnant. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant then. But on the surface, he still pretended to be lost. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why should I write a song? It's still unknown whether I can live past this year."
Qu Ping 'er and others were shocked when they heard this. Lu Xia' er asked, "Martial Uncle, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Yue Qianchou forced a smile and said in a desolate tone, "It's a pity that my Teacher died early, and there's no one to protect him. Now that I've offended Elder Wu, I'm afraid that even the sect's elders will want to kill me. Today, your grandfather came here on behalf of the Sect Leader to make me plead guilty and submit to the law. "
They looked at each other and thought to themselves, "No wonder Elder Lu brought us here today. I thought he really wanted to broaden our horizons!"
"Nonsense, my grandpa is not that kind of person!" Lu Xia 'er defended her grandpa.
"Sigh! Whether it was nonsense or truth, it didn't matter. Does it mean anything to me? What's in it for me to lie to you? "Yue Qianchou's expression was bleak and bitter. Everyone was speechless.
Suddenly, Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up and he said emotionally, "If I, Yue Qianchou, am really guilty, as a man, I will take responsibility for what I've done. Your grandpa doesn't need to say anything, and I will kill myself here to apologize to the world. But I'm innocent, so how am I supposed to plead guilty? Although my master is dead, if you want me to compromise, I absolutely can't do it. I'd rather die standing than live kneeling! "
His words were firm and resolute, and his imposing manner was even more awe-inspiring. Everyone who heard him felt deep veneration. Even Lu Xia 'er believed his words and lowered her head sadly.
Lu Wanwan and Gao Shiping came back. The former glanced at Yue Qianchou and sneered, while the latter shook his head helplessly.
Yue Qianchou looked at Gao Shiping and said with a faint smile, "Senior Martial Brother Gao, you don't have to feel embarrassed. I guess Martial Uncle wants you to help me? It doesn't matter, just do as he says. "
Gao Shiping was taken aback. He looked at Lu Wanwan with an embarrassed look on his face. Lu Wanwan snorted and said, "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Combined with the scene in front of them, everyone believed that Yue Qianchou was telling the truth. It seemed that Elder Lu was really going to punish Martial Uncle Yue.
Someone became anxious. Lu Xia 'er immediately stomped her feet and shouted at Lu Wanwan, "Grandpa, how could you do such a thing?"
Lu Wanwan glared at her and shouted, "This is an adult's matter. Why are you interrupting? Let's go back. " Lu Xia 'er did not comply and made a fuss. In the end, she was dragged away by her grandpa. The group of disciples also turned into flowing lights and followed her.
"Old thing, how dare you threaten me! Today, I'll give you some extra food so that you can go back and enjoy the show, so that you won't come here for nothing, "Yue Qianchou murmured as he looked at the people flying away. Although he said it softly, he did not mean to avoid the two people beside him.
Shi Xiaotian was not an idiot. Combining what his Big Brother had said before and listening to what his Big Brother had said, his eyes that were originally solemn and stirring were instantly filled with shock.
Although Gao Shiping did not know what had happened, he could tell that Yue Qianchou was scolding Lu Wanwan. He could not help but admire Yue Qianchou's courage. He even dared to scold an Elder of the sect. Thinking about it, he felt satisfied. Since Yue Qianchou dared to scold him in front of him, it was obvious that he did not treat him as an outsider.
"Senior Brother Gao, tell me, how does Grand Elder Lu want you to torture me?" Yue Qianchou sneered.
Gao Shiping shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Junior Brother, it seems that you have really offended the Sect Leader. Elder Lu actually came here to pass on the Sect Leader's decree. He did not say anything else. He only told me that from today onwards, Junior Brother, your mining volume will be doubled. Sigh! You know, I can protect Junior Brother in other things, but the mining volume of Spirit Stones will be supervised by the disciples of several branches. I dare not be biased. I am afraid that Junior Brother will not be able to complete the task. As for the punishment, I will also … "
Yue Qianchou waved his hand and interrupted him. "Senior Brother, you don't need to say anymore. I know. Senior Brother, just do what you have to do. You want to stump me with such a small matter? How childish. "
Gao Shiping secretly felt that it was a pity. In this way, he was afraid that his share of income would be gone. Those were Upper Grade Spirit Stones!
Yue Qianchou seemed to see through Gao Shiping's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. One or two Spirit Stones is not a problem for me. You and I will continue as usual. However, there is one thing that I have to trouble Senior Brother with. "
His words had already made some things clear. Gao Shiping understood that Yue Qianchou was clearly telling him that he would not be lacking in Upper Grade Spirit Stones. His eyes immediately lit up. He patted his chest and said, "If Junior Brother has no problem, I naturally have no problem. Just tell me what you need."
Yue Qianchou smiled. He was very fond of people who did things straightforwardly after receiving money. These kinds of people were not afraid of you reaching out, but afraid that you would not accept. He said in a low voice, "I hope Senior Brother can prepare more food and wine for us to bring into the cave. After all, if the mining volume increases, it will be a big problem if we don't have enough to eat."
"I was wondering what it was. Junior Brother, don't worry. I will take care of this." Gao Shiping promised.
Yue Qianchou then said to Shi Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, go and rest now. Once you are full of energy, you will start work tomorrow."
Gao Shiping also said, "You are Shi Xiaotian, right? Follow Junior Brother well. When the time comes, I will treat you well. "What a joke! Helping Yue Qianchou well was the same as helping him well. Of course, he would say that.
Shi Xiaotian nodded and went back to his room without saying another word. Actually, he was not worried at all. Not to mention doubling the size of the place Boss found, even if it was three or four times bigger, he would still dig it out.
After the three of them left, Yue Qianchou lazily lay back on the chair and continued to bask in the sun. He was thinking about a problem now. The conflict between him and Aung Kwang-tsung had reached this point. It seemed like it was impossible for him to stay here for a long time. However, it was even more impossible for him to tell anyone about his secret. In this cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, that was his trump card to save his life. He would not tell anyone about it. The current solution was that as long as he could stay in the spirit stone mine for one more day, he would do his best to fish for as many spirit stones as he could. When he had enough spirit stones, he would leave. If this place did not keep him, there would be another place for him. What was there to be afraid of?
The next day, after entering the spirit stone mine, Shi Xiaotian noticed that Boss's face was much more serious. After entering the mine, he did not walk slowly and directly brought them to the mining area. He was secretly puzzled. What was Boss worried about? With so many spirit stones, would he be afraid of not being able to complete the task?
Before digging, Yue Qianchou cautiously instructed, "Xiaotian, from today onwards, do your best to mine for middle-grade spirit stones. Leave the low-grade spirit stones for now. We'll talk about it later. Got it? "
These two days, Shi Xiaotian was already extremely impressed by Boss. Seeing that Boss was so serious, he understood that he must have his reasons. He did not ask much and nodded heavily.
Yue Qianchou looked at him appreciatively and nodded. The two of them immediately split up and started the mining in full swing.
Within three days, Yue Qianchou returned to the Golden Pearl. Seeing the tall pile of spirit stones in the forest, he did not seem too satisfied. He knew that money was not enough when it was needed. Since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, he must do his best to lay a good foundation for the future.
Originally, this elegant place was filled with spirit stones. White Fox was a little unhappy. Seeing that Yue Qianchou rarely showed up, she wanted to say a few words to him. However, when she saw the rare seriousness on his face, she knew that something must have happened. Just as she was about to ask a few questions, that hateful guy disappeared again.
As he wished, Gao Shiping obtained another High-Grade Spirit Stone. Yue Qianchou and Yue Qianchou had also completed their quest. Seeing that, Gao Shiping was filled with admiration. Yue Qianchou gave them good food and wine.
Halfway through the wine, Gao Shiping stopped drinking and asked them to continue. Yue Qianchou asked curiously, "Senior Martial Brother Gao, you haven't drunk to your heart's content. Why don't you drink?"
"The sect sent people to transport the spirit stones. I still have something to arrange. Originally, all the miners had to go to work. However, Junior Martial Brother, you two don't have to. Just drink without worry." Gao Shiping said.
Yue Qianchou nodded and saw him out. Not long after the wine and food were finished, Gao Shiping came back with a sad face. He smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Martial Brother, I'm going to break my promise. This time, the Elder leading the team is Elder Lu Wanqian. When he saw that you weren't among the miners, he reprimanded me and ordered you to work with the other miners. Junior Martial Brother, I'm sorry. "
"Damn it! That old fart, he's going all out against me. "Yue Qianchou stood up and cursed. However, he had no choice but to go with Shi Xiaotian and Gao Shiping.
At the cave where the spirit stones were stored, Lu Wanwan, who was standing in front of a group of miners, snorted when he saw Yue Qianchou. This brat's granddaughter had been quarreling with him for the past few days. The dozen Elders beside him also looked over. They were all familiar with Yue Qianchou.
Seeing that everyone was present, Lu Wanwan took out a small golden dragon from the storage pouch at his waist. He made a few hand seals and shot a few white lights at the little golden dragon. Then, he tossed the golden dragon into the air. The golden dragon emitted a dazzling light and grew with the wind. In an instant, an incomparably huge and lifelike dragon landed in front of everyone. Lu Wanwan made another hand seal. A giant scale on the dragon's abdomen fell down, creating a large hole. The dragon's scale happened to be the stepping stone to enter the cave.
Yue Qianchou was amazed. Although he had heard of this transportation artifact before, it was his first time seeing it. After the group of miners was inspected, they were all herded into the cave. The huge cave was filled with bags of spirit stones. Yue Qianchou drooled at the sight of it. Then, they were ordered to carry the bags of spirit stones into the dragon's abdomen.
Shi Xiaotian was determined to follow Boss closely. If Boss carried one bag, he would carry one bag. Wherever Boss went, he would follow. The space in the dragon's abdomen was really big. With so many miners carrying the stones in an endless stream, it was unknown how many bags they had carried. In short, Yue Qianchou couldn't remember.
When they were almost done, the two of them entered the cave again. The cave was already empty except for two bags. Yue Qianchou couldn't be bothered to carry the stones anymore. He pulled Shi Xiaotian to the side. There would naturally be someone else to carry the stones. As expected, two miners directly walked over and carried the bags on their shoulders.
"Put them down." A familiar voice came from behind. Yue Qianchou turned his head and saw Lu Wanwan staring at him coldly. Lu Wanwan slowly said, "You two carry them out."
Yue Qianchou was speechless. In his heart, he wanted to bite Lu Wanwan to death. The two of them carried the last two bags of spirit stones out. Lu Wanwan shouted again, "Everyone, get out and accept the inspection."
In the dragon's abdomen, the two of them put down the spirit stones. Just as they turned around and walked to the door, a red light suddenly fell from the sky. It directly shot into the group of gathered miners. In an instant, a loud explosion sounded. A powerful shockwave blasted out in all directions, along with the shattered corpses. Standing at the entrance of the dragon's abdomen, the two of them were dumbfounded. Before they could react, they were pushed back inside by the shockwave.
"Demonic cultivators are attacking. Disciple Aung Kwang-tsung, follow me to fight." Lu Wanwan's hysterical shout came from outside. The two elders guarding the dragon's abdomen instantly shot out.
