To be honest, I got news that there is a family in the Central Region that is recruiting disciples with foreign surnames.
We can temporarily join that family, wait until we reach the Central Region, then leave and find another way out."
"Which family is Brother Gongsun talking about?" Pei Yi asked.
"It is the Chen family of the Central Territory. Although the Chen family is not a big family in the Central Territory, it is not someone who can be bullied.
This time the Chen family went to the Lower Domain to recruit disciples with foreign surnames, it was an opportunity for us." Gongsun Zhidao.
"Why did the Chen family come to the Lower Domain to recruit disciples with foreign surnames?" Pei Yi's eyes showed a trace of doubt.
"I heard that it was because there was a big war between the Chen family and the Wang family, and the children in the family suffered heavy losses, so the Chen family had to recruit disciples with foreign surnames everywhere." Xuelan said.
"In that case, the Chen family can go." Pei Yi thought for a moment and said.
Xu Tao lay on the bed and listened to them talking.
If what these two people said is true, then the Chen family can go there.
Anyway, they are only there temporarily. When they save enough money, they will set off to Cangwu Sect or Qinglan Sect.
Gongsun Zhi: "Since Fellow Taoist Pei is also interested, then the three of us will go together."
Pei Yi asked: "When will the Chen family come?"
"Three months later."
…
Early next morning
After finishing breakfast with Xu Tao, Pei Yi set off for the mining area.
At Xu Tao's strong request, Pei Yi took him to the mining area to report.
"Our rules here are also simple. You only need to hand in 300 pieces of fairy jade every day to complete the task. Once the task is completed, you can go back and rest.
If you can't finish it, you'll have to find a way yourself, anyway, I must receive 300 pieces of fairy jade here every day."
Wang Erhei looked at the three of them and said calmly.
After the matter was explained, Wang Erhei went to inspect other places.
The three of them, Pei Yi and others, were taken to the area where they worked by Liu San.
In the mining area, each person's working area is divided by supervisors.
The places where the three of them were assigned were not far apart.
As soon as Liu San left, the three of them took the mining hoes and started working.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
Pei Yi tried the feel and quickly found the feeling.
The fairy aura is rich in this fairy jade mine.
The cultivation here will definitely increase quickly, but they are all miners, and they have no time to practice since they are too late to work.
There are people patrolling the area all the time in the mining area. If you are caught being lazy, you will inevitably be beaten and punished.
If you want to live a prosperous life, it's best to be honest.
Pei Yi was working on the side, and Xu Tao was not idle either. He stretched out his little paws to help dig out a few times, and she actually let her dig out a piece of fairy jade.
Xu Tao looked surprised.
Her claws are so powerful, they are even easier to use than a mining hoe!
She peeled off several more pieces in succession, and didn't stop until she felt tired.
Digging fairy jade is indeed a physical job, and the fairy power in the body is consumed too quickly.
The same goes for Pei Yi. After digging for twenty or thirty yuan, he needs to take a short rest.
No wonder the daily task is 300 pieces of fairy jade.
At this rate, the Immortal Realm can only dig around 300 yuan a day at most.
Pei Yi was better off with Xu Tao's help, and he dug out more than half of it in one morning.
Seeing that no one was around, Xu Tao wanted to hide a few pieces secretly on her body.
At this time, the voice of the Eight Patriarchs sounded.
[You don’t think that people here can’t find out if you hide the fairy jade on your body, do you?]
[They can all find me if I hide it in the ring!]
It is impossible to check the Najie!
[Generally speaking, in order to prevent miners from hiding fairy jade in this kind of mining area, special detection magic weapons will be installed.
There is no need to check one by one, just use a magic weapon to test and you will know.
The fairy jade just dug out is different from other fairy jade and cannot escape the detection of the magic weapon at all.]
Xu Tao looked disappointed when he heard this.
It seems that these fairy jade are destined to miss her, alas.
She felt like a clerk working in a bank, facing a lot of money every day, but none of it belonged to her... and she was upset.
[Actually, it’s not impossible. You can leave the fairy jade with me temporarily to ensure that the magic weapon cannot be detected.]
[Seriously!] Xu Tao felt like she could do it again.
[What did I lie to you for?]
[Thank you, Eighth Patriarch!] Xu Tao beat the snake and put it on the stick, and sweetly thanked the Eighth Patriarch.
Bazu rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that this girl was in a bit of misery, he wouldn't have bothered to help.
Since he has known this girl, he has never seen her so poor.
With the help of the Eighth Patriarch, Xu Tao immediately hid dozens of pieces of fairy jade without politeness. All these fairy jade were collected by the Eighth Patriarch.
After leaving the mining area, she asked Bazu for it.
Pei Yi watched Xu Tao secretly hide the fairy jade from the side, frowning slightly.
"Be careful of being discovered. This fairy jade is probably not that easy to get."
"Ouch..." Don't worry, I have a solution.
Seeing that Xu Tao was so confident, Pei Yi said nothing.
In the afternoon, Pei Yi's neighbor came over to talk to him.
"I wonder if this fellow Taoist has ascended from the lower world?" The person who came to talk to him was a male cultivator.
The male cultivator is dressed in a uniform miner's uniform and holds the iconic mining hoe in his hand.
His face looked young and tender, with a trace of vitality between his brows.
Although the male cultivator looked young, I knew he couldn't be a young man.
"Exactly. Is something wrong, fellow Taoist?"
"Nothing, I just came over to say hello.
Next week Chen also ascended from the lower world and came a few months earlier than you."
Zhou Chen looked at Pei Yi and introduced himself with a smile.
"I'm Pei Yi."
"Yesterday I saw that fellow Taoist Gongsun among the three of you has been asking about ways to leave. Do you want to join the Chen family and become a disciple of the Chen family with a foreign surname so you can leave?"
Zhou Chen approached Pei Yi and whispered in a low voice.
Pei Yi just looked at him silently, seeming to be thinking about why he said this to him.
"Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist, I have no other intentions.
I just want to tell you, don’t waste your efforts anymore, we won’t be able to leave.”
Zhou Chen quickly explained.
"What do you mean by this?" Pei Yi asked with a frown.
"You should have also heard that the immortal jade in this mining area is provided to a certain emperor's son.
Now that the emperor's son is in urgent need of immortal jade, and the mining area is already short of manpower, how could he let him go?
The Chen family is only a medium-sized force in the Immortal Realm, so it cannot afford to offend an emperor.
People from our mining area were not included in the Chen family’s recruitment of disciples with foreign surnames from the beginning.”
"So, don't bother yourself, just get through these three years honestly."
Zhou Chen was indeed a kind reminder. He had this idea when he first came here.
He has tried to contact even those third-rate sects.
I thought that I was a genius in the lower realm, but it was not easy to find a sect to take me in.
In the end, reality taught him how to behave.
His talent is pretty good, but people simply don't dare to accept him.
