Chapter 75 Cold Mist Mountain

Chapter 75 Cold Mist Mountain

After everyone received the chores, Zhou Shu took a few steps up and said calmly, "Guan Liu, didn't you say that new disciples won't be assigned difficult chores? Isn't this mining difficult? I remember Zongmen’s introduction saying that mining is one of the two most difficult chores.”

Hearing Zhou Shu's words, many disciples turned their eyes to Liu Anmin with doubts in their eyes.

And Zhu Dashan shouted, "Steward, did you make a mistake?"

Li Aojian helped, "Maybe I misplaced the signature, just change it."

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Liu Anmin showed a puzzled expression, glanced at the jade stick in Zhou Shu's hand, and then smiled, "Ah, this junior, you are lucky."

"luck?"

"That's right. Look at your mission. You have been rewarded with six hundred contribution points. If you look at other people's tasks, they don't have one or two hundred points. You've made a lot of money."

Liu Anmin said with certainty.

Many cultivators looked at their jade sticks and nodded as if suddenly realizing.

Zhou Shu smiled calmly, "That's not the problem, it's why this chore was given to me."

The contribution of mining is of course several times that of general chores, otherwise no one would go there. This is determined by its difficulty, not luck at all.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it if you take advantage of it, let alone you are a casual cultivator, you should do more things. Everyone go to your respective chores, and the specific information will be announced there, and we are gone."

Liu Anmin frowned, didn't explain anymore, arranged a few words casually, turned around and left.

Zhou Shu watched him leave, shook his head and said nothing, this Liu Anmin probably took advantage of other people, deliberately made things difficult for him, and gave him such chores.

But he couldn't think about it for the time being.

The path of the sect this time is very different from that of the Wuwang sect, and it is destined not to be peaceful.

Zhu Dashan came over and said, "Mining is good, Lao Zhu is good at it, how about we change it? You see, I am a spirit beast, and I am going to search for plantain grass and groundnuts all over the mountains and plains. I don't know what these things are, isn't it? Are you blind?"

Zhou Shu shook his head, "No need to change, I can also mine, but...forget it."

He wasn't worried about the intensity of mining, just treat it as another kind of body training, but mining took too much time, and he had to stay in the mine almost every day, so there was no time to practice, let alone It's drawn.

Zhu Dashan nodded, "Lao Li, what are your chores?"

"You said don't call me Lao Li, I'm so young, call me Ao Jian, Ao Jian!" Li Ao Jian glared dissatisfiedly, "Just like you, feed the spirit beast."

"There are so many spirit beasts in Pili?"

Zhu Dashan scratched his head, "But it's good, with Lao Li here, I don't have to worry."

Li Aojian turned his head, quite helplessly, "I'll look for it, you go mow the grass."

"No problem, Lao Li, leave it to me!" Zhu Dashan patted his chest.

Zhou Shu smiled unconsciously, it seems that they got along well these few days.

He put away the jade lottery, "Go ahead, I'll go to Lengwu Mountain first and take my leave."

Li Aojian glanced at him, "It will be the first day of junior high school in a few days, so we have to find some time to come. If it doesn't work, you can call us for help."

"I know, thank you." Zhou Shu smiled, nodded and left.

Every month from the first to the fourth day of the month is the day when the Heyin Sect teaches the disciples of the outer sect.

Outer disciples do not have a master and usually practice on their own. If they have doubts, they can only rely on these few days to solve them. Therefore, these few days are especially important for new disciples.

Outer sect disciples often finish their chores a few days in advance, so that they can spare time to concentrate on cultivation.

But the work of mining is difficult to finish in advance.

Li Aojian's words made him somewhat grateful, but with his temperament, he would not bother others.

Lengwu Mountain is relatively far away, nearly 500 miles away from Xichenyuan. Even with the magic amulet, it will take several hours. Zhou Shu thought about it, went to the spirit beast pen next to it, and rented a Chiyun beast.

Scarlet cloud beast, domesticated from a first-order monster, is similar to a mortal horse, but taller, with a fiery red body, running around like a cloud of red clouds, and is the most common spirit beast for transportation.

It's not expensive to rent a scarlet cloud beast, but it's rare for a disciple who just started to rent it like this.

The management disciple led the Chiyun Beast, "Junior Brother, if you don't need it, just roll up the rein, and it will come back by itself."

"Understood, thank you brother."

Zhou Shu stepped onto the Scarlet Cloud Beast and flew out quickly.

The Scarlet Cloud Beast can run more than 400 miles in an hour, climbing mountains and wading like walking on flat ground, even foundation-building practitioners may not be able to catch up.

Not long after, a dark mountain appeared in sight.

The mountain was shrouded in a thick layer of white mist, and the mist was all formed by the condensation of cold air. As soon as I approached, I felt cold all over, as if I had entered winter.

The Scarlet Cloud Beast couldn't bear the cold, sobbed, and refused to go any further, so Zhou Shu had to come down, lead it aside and tie it up.

He took out the Nuanyang jade ring and put it on, his body became much warmer immediately, and then he walked into the mountain.

Walking to the front of the mountain, Zhou Shu couldn't help but startled. The mountain in front of him was dotted with hundreds of glowing holes, like huge eyes, which made people shudder.

A cultivator wearing the costume of the Heyin school came over. This man was taller than Zhu Dashan, and he had a pair of beards that almost reached his chest, which was particularly conspicuous.

He glanced at Zhou Shu, and said coldly, "I'm the supervisor Xu Lie of the Lengwu Mountain Mine. You're so unfamiliar. Where are you from?"

Zhou Shu arched his hands and handed over the jade lottery, "My disciple Zhou Shu from the lower outer sect has just started to take over the chores of mining."

Xu Lie took the jade lottery, nodded, and glanced at Zhou Shu with intriguing eyes, "You are Zhou Shu, hehe, you just received chores like mining, I should say you are greedy for contributions, Or was it set up by someone?"

Zhou Shu smiled calmly, "I don't know, someone else gave it to me, and then I came like this."

"Oh, interesting, come in."

Xu Lie laughed, threw back the jade stick, and strode towards a newly opened mine.

Zhou Shu silently followed behind.

Walking into the gloomy mine, the cold became more intense, like being in an ice cellar, Zhou Shu couldn't help shivering.

Xu Lie shook his head, a trace of disdain flashed in the corner of his eyes.

Snapped!

A rusty hoe landed at Zhou Shu's feet.

"I don't care how you came here, or how weak you are, or how young you are, as long as you enter the mine, you have to listen to me and do things well!"

Xu Lie turned his head and said with a stern expression, "Go in and take a good look at how others dug. Today doesn't count. From tomorrow onwards, forty catties of fog crystal iron ore will be handed over every day!"

It's uncommon in the world of cultivating immortals to show off your Majesty as soon as you come in, but Zhou Shu is not surprised.

He nodded and said lightly, "Since I have accepted the task, I will naturally do it well, so I don't need to talk too much about it."

Xu Lie was a little surprised by Zhou Shu's calm answer, "That's good, I will take good care of you."

After speaking, he will leave.

Zhou Shu said suddenly, "Wait."

Xu Lie turned around and looked at Zhou Shu with disdain on his face, "Hehe, I thought you were so stubborn, so if you have any questions, please tell me quickly, I will only explain once."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Guard Xu, when you walk and talk, your beard doesn't move at all. Could it be that it's made of iron? It's really strange, please enlighten me."

Xu Lie was startled, snorted, turned around and left without saying a word.
