Then, he continued,”that’s a total of twenty-five pieces of spiritual Jade. For ordinary people, it’s simply a windfall. It’s just like what they say in the secular world about winning five million from the lottery. It’s normal for him to not react for a night. Besides, the excuse I gave him yesterday was reasonable and not a lie. He’d be crazy if he didn’t believe it!”
“That’s true. We’ve racked our brains to set such a trap for him. If this kid reacted so quickly, then it would be a waste of ninth older cousin’s efforts.” Meng Tong nodded in agreement.
“Heh, who knows, this kid might be in a daze for the next few days. He thought that he had become a nouveau riche with twenty-five pieces of spiritual Jade, but in the end, he found out that this pile of Jade is all useless. Hahaha, the higher the expectations, the worse the fall. His expression will be very interesting!” Meng jueguang said rather smugly.
From the first day of registration, he’d never had any advantage over Lin Yi, be it directly or indirectly. On the contrary, it was him who’d embarrassed himself quite a bit, and even when he’d kicked Lin Yi to the Kuangqu ten, he’d still been doing well and losing face.
But this time, Lin Yi really did get scammed by him. Not only did he get a new Kuangqu, but he also lost a good piece of Jade. He was practically getting blood all over his face! To a manager like Meng jueguang, playing with a troublemaker like Lin Yi was far more satisfying than dealing with the other fence-sitters! This was something he’d been looking forward to!
If these two knew that their plan didn’t work on Lin Yi, and even gave him a big gift instead, he wondered what their expressions would be like. Of course, as long as Lin Yi didn’t say anything, these two Fortune Girls would never find out the truth, and they’d probably continue to be proud of themselves!
He walked along tunnel seven, and while it was the same winding path with the same environment, Lin Yi could clearly feel the difference between this and tunnel ten. Tunnel No. 10 was not only more remote and remote than tunnel No. 7, but it was also more obvious that tunnel No. 10 did not have as many people.
Compared to the No. 10 tunnel, which was devoid of any living people, the No. 7 tunnel was bustling with activity. From time to time, they would see some of their peers. In fact, a mining area like the seventh Kuangqu, which was ranked in the middle and lower reaches, was indeed one of the few mines that had the most people.
After all, the majority of the people who came here to mine, other than Lin Yi who was a pure newbie, were those who hadn’t successfully built their Foundation in the Ying Xin Pavilion before. According to the rules, they couldn’t join the three pavilions directly, and could only do hard labor in the spirit jade mine while trying to break through.
Compared to the powerful mysterious Pavilion and the powerful rising Sky Pavilion, the probability of the grassroot rogue cultivators from the GreenCloud Pavilion failing to reach the foundation establishment stage was obviously higher. Therefore, naturally, they were assigned to the Kuangqu to do more hard labor. As for the mining area that was ranked higher, although it had a higher Jade production rate, it was given to the rising Sky Pavilion and the mysterious Pavilion. Compared to mining area 7, which was given to the GreenCloud Pavilion, the number of people was naturally less.
After reaching the seventh Kuangqu, Lin Yi looked around and found an empty spot to start working. He wasn’t planning on hiding the spiritual jades today-his main goal was to Scout and familiarize himself with the environment. After all, with the twenty-five pieces that Meng jueguang gave him yesterday, Lin Yi had thirty-one pieces of spiritual Jade in his hands now, enough for him to buy a few sets of ingredients for refining elixirs. It could be said that he didn’t need spiritual Jade urgently in the short term, and he could take it slow and steady.
He kept an eye on his surroundings as he dug, and he quickly found a few useful pieces of information.
Firstly, the surveillance of the seventh Kuangqu far exceeded that of the tenth mining area. Although the two Kuangqu weren’t too different in size, the 10th mine only had two guards, while the 7th mine had ten guards. Not only were there regular sentries, but there were also special patrols. A normal Sky Class master wouldn’t be able to do anything with such a tight surveillance-it was suicide.
Second, there were indeed many people in the seventh Kuangqu. There were dozens of mining spots scattered across the huge Kuangqu No. 7. Other than a few that were left unvisited, each of the other mining spots had at least one or two people mining there. Some popular mining spots were even surrounded by four to five people. This was not mining for spiritual Jade, but fighting for it.
Third, the Jade rate in the seventh Kuangqu was much higher than the tenth area. In just an hour, Lin Yi had already dug up six pieces of spiritual Jade. Two of them were obviously useless jades, and they were thrown into the open space behind them, just like the people on the side did. There would be special guards to take them away. Three of them were useless jades with only a good appearance but thin spiritual energy, and the last one was a good Jade full of spiritual energy. The speed at which the Jades were produced could not be compared to the time in the tenth Kuangqu two days ago.
Lin Yi nodded to himself. It was clear that the division of the Kuangqu by the spirit Jade Hall was reasonable.
As he was looking around, a loud noise came from not far away. Lin Yi couldn’t help but turn to look and saw a familiar face.
Since all the other GreenCloud Pavilion newbies were assigned to the eighth Kuangqu by Meng jueguang and Meng Tong, Lin Yi didn’t recognize any of the dozens of people in the seventh mine, except for one person-li Zhengming.
Li Zhengming didn’t do anything special from the first day up until now, other than sucking up to Meng jueguang. It felt like he was just Meng jueguang and Meng Tong’s follower, nothing special about him. However, the impression he left Lin Yi was far from being transparent.
On the contrary, this person was very scheming and was much more difficult to deal with than the brainless Meng Tong. However, li Zhengming had only been playing along with Meng jueguang and Meng Tong from the beginning to the end, and had never made things difficult for Lin Yi. As long as they didn’t cross each other’s path, Lin Yi didn’t want to waste his energy on him.
The loud noise just now came from Lee Zhengming’s place, and the other people around him, whether they were guards or miners, turned a deaf ear to it, as if they were used to it.
Only Lin Yi, a newbie, didn’t know what was going on-it was just a spirit jade mine, why was there such a big commotion? was his mine going to collapse? Logically speaking, all the Kuangqu spirit jade mine had been reinforced by formations, so there was no possibility of it collapsing.
