The weather was good in the morning. Cai Xin was busy at home when she saw the wooden door burst open and a group of people rushed into the house.
The leader was a fat man, and behind him was a fiendish man. Behind them was a group of sturdy and valiant soldiers. Their armor was embroidered with a large "Di" character. Clearly, they were people from the Zhai Family's mine.
"Are there people who ascended from the lower realm here? Come out quickly. According to the rules of the Zhai family's mine, all immortals who ascended to the White Hair Region must serve the Zhai family for three years! "
The fat man did not speak, but the fierce-looking man behind him roared. Cai Xin was so scared that she took a few steps back.
The fat man frowned and reprimanded, "What are you shouting for? We're not here to catch miners. We're here to invite them."
Ye Kong was someone who ascended from the lower realm. He would soon become a Golden Immortal. Their mine currently only had three Golden Immortals. If Ye Kong joined them, their strength would increase. The fierce-looking man was also one of the Golden Immortals. Of course, he did not want someone to steal his limelight.
After the fat man reprimanded his men, he cupped his fists towards the wooden door and said, "I'm Li You, the steward of the Zhai family's mine on Planet Salt. I heard that someone ascended here, so I came here to see him."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Kong walking out while holding the wall. Ye Kong said, "Steward Li, you're right. I'm Ye Kong. I'm indeed someone who ascended from the lower realm. It's just a coincidence that my immortal light was taken away by others when I ascended. I don't have immortal light to temper my body, so I can't adapt to this place yet. "
The fierce-looking man behind the fat man sneered and said in a low voice, "Immortal light can be taken away by others? You're too useless."
Although his voice was low, everyone heard it. However, the fat man acted as if he did not hear it. He smiled and went forward to support Ye Kong. He said, "Brother Ye, it's actually useless to temper your body with immortal light. After a few days, when you get used to it, you'll be able to become a Golden Immortal."
Ye Kong hurriedly smiled and said, "It's my first time here, I hope Senior Li can give me some pointers."
Li You welcomed him with a smile: "Of course. To be honest, I'm not a native of the Immortal World either. I'm also someone who ascended from the lower realm, so I'm worthy of being called a senior."
This Li You was broad and plump. When he spoke with a smile, it was hard for others to have a bad impression of him. However, Ye Kong could see the hatred in Cai Xin's eyes. In the distance, outside the gate of the courtyard, there were dozens of skinny, dark-skinned men tied up with ropes. There was no lack of old people or children among them.
Seeing his gaze, Li You also looked back. He smiled and said, "Brother Ye, don't worry. Those are just miners. They will definitely treat you well!" Li You continued to explain the benefits. Golden Immortal elders would not only receive a monthly stipend of ten immortal jade, but they would also receive a first-grade immortal sword and a first-grade immortal armor upon joining the sect!
Although they were all first-grade immortals, it was already good enough to have a weapon and a defensive treasure armor. They could even kill people for self-defense. There was no spiritual power here, so weapons from the lower realm were like ordinary iron here. Therefore, many people who had just ascended would risk their lives for first-grade immortal swords and armor.
However, Ye Kong was a family member and knew his own affairs best. He had come up illegally and did not sense any power of Heavenly Dao at all. Becoming a Golden Immortal was like a dream. If he joined the Zhai family's mine and did not advance, he would probably end up worse than the miners outside.
However, it was not that easy to refuse. Although this fatty was kind, if he really refused, this guy would probably turn hostile on the spot.
"Senior Li, actually, I'm a newcomer and I'm eager to have a backer. It's just that … I have a problem. I don't like to live and eat for free! Otherwise, I'll definitely be laughed at! " As Ye Kong spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the fierce man. Then, he continued, "Therefore, I think that when I advance to Golden Immortal, I will join the Zhai family and become a Golden Immortal elder. At that time, no one will say anything!"
Ye Kong's words were powerful and resonant. Moreover, he contradicted the fierce man tit for tat. His credibility was very high. No matter how smart Li You was, he completely believed him! Li You only hated the fierce man for being jealous and talking too much. He did not blame Ye Kong for refusing at all.
However, Li You thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ye will definitely become a member of our mine in the future. Living in such a house is too simple and crude. It's better to move to the mine. All kinds of things are available. There are also maids and servants to order around."
Ye Kong thought to himself, If I go to your place, I won't be able to leave. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Li. However, I'm very comfortable living here. Even if I join the Zhai family's mine in the future, I will still come back often."
Ye Kong was leaving a topic for the future. At that time, he could also use this opportunity to slip back and escape.
However, Li You's eyes turned and he understood. This damn place was not much better than a pigsty. If Ye Kong wanted to stay, it was obvious that he had taken a fancy to that girl. Although that girl's skin was a bit dark, her facial features were still good. She had big eyes and a sharp nose. Although her chest was a bit small, she was still young. There were still many people who liked her.
Li You laughed softly and said, "Actually, we have a lot of fair-skinned people …"
Ye Kong also laughed and said, "There are a lot of fair-skinned people in the lower realms. Black has a taste of black."
"Black has a taste of black. Haha …" Li You laughed. He waved his hand and left with his subordinates. Before he left, he said, "Brother Ye, hurry up and get used to it. You are welcome to find me at the Zhai family's mine at any time. I will also come often."
As soon as Li You left, Ye Kong couldn't support himself anymore. He had been standing for too long. He didn't even have the strength to walk back. Cai Xin ran over and closed the door. Unexpectedly, she didn't come back to help him.
Ye Kong stood for a while longer. When he really couldn't stand anymore, he called out, "Sister Cai Xin …"
Cai Xin snorted, and supported Ye Kong as he walked back. After laying Ye Kong down, he said, "Big Brother Ye, you're not a good person!" After saying that, he ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Ye Kong could only smile bitterly. He originally thought that she didn't understand. He didn't expect her to understand.
However, now that Cai Xin ran away, Ye Kong couldn't explain. He could only practice push-ups first. If he couldn't become a Golden Immortal, then he would become an ordinary Immortal first.
However, after a while, Cai Xin ran back again. She put down a flat wooden box and said, "This was sent by Smiling Tiger." After Cai Xin finished speaking, she wanted to run away again. However, Ye Kong grabbed her arm.
"Sister Cai Xin, what I said just now was just a temporary measure. Ye has killed many people in the lower realms. However, if you ask yourself, Ye has never indiscriminately killed innocent people. I have never repaid kindness with enmity. I have never harmed the people who saved me. "
Hearing his sincerity, Cai Xin believed him a little. He said, "Then I also advise you, Li You is a famous smiling tiger in this area. My parents died in his mine … Of course, if you want to follow him to do evil and bully the miners, I'm afraid you will also be like a fish in water."
After saying that, Cai Xin became angry again. She turned her head to the side.
Ye Kong said, "I've lived for hundreds of years in the lower realms. How can I not see this? That's why I found an excuse to reject him! However, if I move over to his place, I won't be able to leave. That's why I brought you up. I was rude to you. Please forgive me, Miss Cai Xin. "
"Really? You really aren't like what you said to him. Everything has a taste of black? Shameless. "Cai Xin frowned and made a disgusted expression. However, Ye Kong felt that it was very cute.
Ye Kong said, "I already said, I've lived for hundreds of years. I can even be your grandfather."
"I don't think you're much older than me. You're not that old." Cai Xin laughed.
Then, Ye Kong raised his hand and opened the wooden box. He found ten pieces of celestial jade inside. Cai Xin didn't expect them to be celestial jade. She had lived for so long. She had only seen others holding celestial jade. She had never touched one.
However, Ye Kong put down the wooden box and let out a long sigh.
These celestial jade was a disaster and not a blessing. It made him even more dangerous!
He had already offended the fierce man by rejecting Li You! When he returned, Li You would definitely reprimand the fierce man. The fierce man would harbor hatred in his heart. Now that he saw Li You giving him celestial jade, the fierce man was even more determined to harm him!
Cai Xin wanted to ask him to let her touch the celestial jade. However, when she saw Ye Kong close the wooden box and sigh, she couldn't say anything. She could only silently walk out of the house.
Ye Kong pondered for a while. He felt that he had to hurry up and adapt. Otherwise, if the fierce man came to kill him, he wouldn't even have the strength to escape! It was useless to just practice on the bed. He still had to get down and walk!
Ye Kong climbed down on his own.
After walking around the house twice, Ye Kong couldn't support himself anymore. His legs were weak, his brain was dizzy, and his back was sweating like it was raining …
Hold on! Don't lie down!
Ye Kong gave himself a little more strength. After walking another half a circle, he walked to a long bench. He wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but when he grabbed the blanket rolled up at the end of the bench, his eyes widened!
For the past two days. Ye Kong slept on the bed. The little lass, Cai Xin, put together the square stools in the house to use as a bed. There was a blanket on each side. Ye Kong didn't notice this, but now that he grabbed it, he realized that the little lass's blanket was much thinner than the one he was using! Cai Xin's blanket was so thin that there were only two layers of sheets left. There was no feeling of cotton in the middle at all!
Ye Kong couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He was really a good-for-nothing. He actually let such a young girl suffer like this.
In the evening, the two of them sat at the table and ate porridge. Ye Kong asked, "Did you borrow this rice from the neighbor next door?"
Cai Xin nodded as if she had done something wrong. Then she said, "When it snows, I'll go to the mine to steal some salt crystals and sell them to pay you back."
She said it casually, but Ye Kong knew that the salt crystals were extremely hard. They could only be dug out with an immortal artifact! Someone said, "So that little shovel is an immortal artifact?" Yes, it was an immortal artifact. Immortal artifacts were also divided into different grades, from the first to the tenth grade. And that shovel was so bad that it didn't have any grade at all. But even so, Cai Xin didn't have such a shovel. What's more, if she was discovered by the mine guards, she might even lose her life!
Ye Kong felt sour in his heart again. He took out a piece of immortal jade and said, "Return the food that you owe them."
"No need, this is too much. Besides, I can't use your money." Cai Xin quickly pushed the immortal jade back. The moment her fingers touched the immortal jade, she thought to herself, "Immortal jade is really smooth!"
However, Ye Kong didn't pay attention to her. Instead, he pushed the wooden box back to her again. He said in an unquestionable tone, "I know that you have always wanted to buy an immortal cultivation method with the power of the Way of Heaven. Then go to the market and buy the best one."
Cai Xin was stunned. She didn't expect that she, a little girl with nothing, would have such a large amount of money all of a sudden! This was ten pieces of immortal jade! All the families in the village couldn't gather so much money!
But what Cai Xin didn't know was that Ye Kong giving these to her meant that he would soon leave this place!
However, when she went to sleep at night, things changed again.
