It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot.
However, in a manor somewhere on the trash planet, one did not feel the stifling heat of the weather. The tall beams of the roof allowed the room to be ventilated smoothly. A middle-aged man was half-lying on a rattan bench, leisurely eating the fruits fed to him by a young maid.
Two servant girls fanned him from behind and two servant girls massaged his legs. He lived in a luxurious manor that was rare on the trash planet, and he had five servant girls to serve him. Not many people on the trash planet could enjoy such treatment.
Tang Lu was one of them. This middle-aged man was Tang Lu. Although he looked middle-aged, his back was slightly hunched, and his face was not good-looking. It was like the word 'bitter'.
Tang Lu's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd. The first half of his life was indeed bitter. He was born on the trash planet and grew up in the trash. He did not have the talent to become an immortal, and he spent his days helping people scrape trash to earn some food and drink.
However, it turned out that opportunities always came to those who were prepared. He spent his days digging in the trash, here and there, and soon he was familiar with the distribution of the various trash. He was also well-behaved, so he wrote it down in a small booklet for fear that he would not remember it clearly.
It was this booklet that made him rich.
At that time, the trash planet was very busy. Picking up trash was a pastime for many people. At the same time, many senior experts also joined the ferocious trash scavenging army. It could not be helped. Some materials were not easy to find and could not be bought. It was better to pick them up here. After all, it cost money.
Although it did not cost money, it required time! There was too much trash on the trash planet, and the senior experts were not in the mood to spend their time there. At this time, Tang Lu and his booklet came into play.
Did he want a fragment of a celestial treasure from tens of thousands of years ago? Did he want to dig 50 feet down from the mountain of trash in the east? Did he want a defective sword embryo from the Ancient Celestial Weapon Pavilion? Yes, he could just go to the inconspicuous rocks in the west mountain and move them.
The senior experts were, naturally, relieved that Tang Lu had helped them. Moreover, Tang Lu was a likable person, so they decided to reward him. Celestial pills, cultivation methods, and materials were generously rewarded to him.
Tang Lu, who originally had no chance of becoming an immortal, had become an immortal with the help of the senior experts. Later on, he met a benefactor and became an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. He laid down his foundation and became the master of a trash planet!
Just as Tang Lu was enjoying her service and reminiscing about the past, a sobbing young woman wearing a plain white gown ran in from outside the door. She called out 'Daddy' before throwing herself on Tang Lu's body and crying loudly.
Tang Lu didn't know why, but she quickly asked her daughter, but her daughter was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Tang Lu was furious. "Cry, cry, cry! You're not going to tell me why? If you don't want to tell me, then don't cry here. Those who don't know might think that I'm dead! "
The little woman said, "Father, it's Ling Yi who died."
"Ah!" Tang Lu was also shocked, and then furious. Mi Lingyi was not only his disciple but also his son-in-law. He was also his right-hand man in managing the mine!
"How did Ling Yi die? Which other family did this? If it weren't for master, I would've killed all three of them! "Tang Lu immediately suspected the other three families of Celestial Bandits.
The little woman said, "I don't know. Yesterday, he brought seven or eight subordinates to chase after three slaves who escaped and never came back. Today, I found their bodies in the sky. All of them were dead, and they died a horrible death … Daddy, you must avenge him!"
Tang Lu was lost in thought. Although the four families on the trash planet often fought with each other, everyone had calmed down since their master came out of seclusion to mediate. So who killed Mi Lingyi?
After pondering for a while, Tang Lu finally stood up. Her eyes were cold as she said, "I understand now. Outsiders have come to the trash planet."
In the main city of the trash planet.
Only then did Ye Kong know that the trash planet also had a main city. The city was also very busy, with people flowing like water and horses like dragons.
However, the scenery here was different from other planets. The people here liked to cover their faces with white headscarves, just like those near the desert. The reason was that the surrounding garbage mountains were mined every day. The vegetation was destroyed, and the dust from the ores was often blown into the air. Sandstorms were a common occurrence, and the white headscarves were used to keep out sand.
In order not to attract attention, Ye Kong had the flying car leave before they reached the trash planet. The flying car rushed to a nearby planet to rest while Ye Kong and the others rode a cloud into the trash planet and flew into the main city.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Ye Kong and the others also covered their faces with white headscarves as they walked into the trash planet's main city. The people of the trash planet all had fierce eyes, but there was also a hint of timidity in their fierceness. Although Ye Kong and the other twenty people all had their faces covered, they could not hide their fierce aura. The people of the trash planet did not dare to provoke them.
Unlike other planets, the trash planet's most popular business was trading raw materials. They were all mined from ancient or even ancient garbage, then refined by slaves and arranged neatly. As for the other deal, it was slaves. Male slaves were worth more than female slaves, and immortals were worth more than mortals.
"It's actually the long-extinct White Leafed Wood!" A jailer seemed to have found a treasure and pointed to a stall by the roadside.
The White Leafed Wood was a very strange immortal wood. The leaves actually grew within the wood. This wood, after being processed, had rich patterns on the inside. It was an excellent material for constructing immortal formations.
When the shop owner heard him shout, he seemed to have thought of something. He raised his eyeballs and said, "Not retail, only wholesale."
Those jailers were also economically minded. They thought that the more, the better. As long as the price was cheap, they could sell it to the North Thearch's territory's Xue Cheng Planet and make a huge profit!
Ye Kong did not stop them. After all, his subordinates came out hoping to get something, and it did not violate the Iron Prison Mountain's rules. Let them do it.
The twenty jailers pooled money and picked the goods. Not only did they buy all the White Leafed Wood, but they also bought many other materials that were rarely seen in the outside world. All of them were satisfied. Once this task was over, they would bring the goods to the North Thearch's territory. They would make a huge profit!
When they left the market, the boss's face darkened. He snorted coldly and said, "The mine owner was right. There really are outsiders. There are a lot of them, and they are not good people … This lowly one, quickly report to mine owner Tang."
Ye Kong and the others did not know that they would be noticed the moment they arrived on the trash planet. The group went straight to a teahouse at the west entrance of the city. According to the secret arrangement, Ye Kong and the others would stay here. This teahouse was the Iron Prison Mountain's eyes and ears on the trash planet. The owner of the teahouse, Uncle Lin, was a secret spy.
When the group arrived at the Lin Clan's teahouse, Uncle Lin had already been informed in advance. He had already stopped his business and was waiting for them.
"Greetings to Lord Ye. I, Lin Pingzhi, have been a spy on the trash planet for three hundred years. I thought I was useless, but I did not expect to be able to help you." In the teahouse, Uncle Lin quickly knelt and kowtowed.
