Chapter 1202 Regaining Freedom
Let’s not talk about what those people in the mine were thinking. Qingyang and Ge Dagen left the mine, put away the iron-armed monkey, and headed towards the entrance of the mine.
On the way, neither of them spoke. Qingyang was worried that Master Guiyun would come to find them. If they were in the sect, they would have some concerns. In this remote mine, it was hard to say what would happen, and Qingyang was not sure enough to deal with it.
Ge Dagen was shocked by what happened in the past few days. Now Qingyang has become an omnipotent god in his mind. In terms of alchemy, Qingyang can be a teacher for countless people. In terms of strength, he can easily kill enemies across levels. There are also eighth-level monsters guarding him. More importantly, he is still too young. I really don’t know what he can’t do.
Such an outstanding person is the focus of the sect's training no matter where he is. How could he be allowed to drift outside at will? Therefore, Qingyang's previous words about avoiding enemies must not be taken seriously. It is estimated that there is something important to do. Such a person could not be flattered before. Now that he finally has the opportunity to get close to him, he must hold him tightly in the future.
In order to find Ge Dagen, Qingyang traveled very slowly and walked for more than 20 days. When he returned, he had no worries and was much faster. It took only seven or eight days for the two to return to the entrance of the mine and leave the mine smoothly.
The guards at the exit of the mine were still the cultivators from nearly a month ago. They still remembered Qingyang. When they saw the two of them coming out, one of the guards came up early and took them to the Ghost Cave Master.
The rest of the things were simple. Qingyang took out the 1,000 Qingming stones given to him by the Ghost Cave Master, and the Ghost Cave Master exchanged them for 5,000 spiritual stones. There were too many people who saw these Qingming stones. If Qingyang didn't take them out, he might leave himself in trouble. This mine belongs to the Ghost Valley, so you can't mine it for nothing. The discounted 5,000 spirit stones are the fees to be handed over to the sect. Qingyang will definitely not honestly hand over the Qingming Stones obtained from the golden armor zombie. Thousands of Qingming Stones are worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and half of them are more than 20,000 spirit stones. Qingyang is reluctant to give them up.
As for how Qingyang got the 1,000 Qingming Stones, Ghost Cave Master did not ask. He had learned from others that Qingyang had injured Ghost Feng Master. As the manager stationed here by the Ghost Valley, he had many ways to receive the news before Qingyang came back.
It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous. He worked hard here and only received a hundred or so Qingming Stones a year. Qingyang casually extorted a thousand from others. It was really annoying. However, he also knew that Qingyang was not easy to mess with. It was said that Qingyang only used one move to seriously injure Ghost Feng Master at that time, and it seemed that his strength was still reserved. Although his cultivation was higher than that of Ghost Feng Master, he was still in the Jindan realm after all, and he was not sure that he could easily defeat Qingyang.
He didn't dare to provoke Qingyang, but it was no problem to face Master Guifeng. This guy was easily blackmailed by Qingyang for thousands of Qingming stones, which meant that he must have more than that many Qingming stones on him. It seemed that his heart was not black enough, and he must search for it carefully when he returned.
After exchanging the Qingming stones, Qingyang handed the object-collecting talisman to Master Guiku for inspection. The other party erased the identity token information previously input into the disc, and Qingyang could leave.
Then it was Ge Dagen's turn. He first gave Master Guiku 140 pieces of Qingming stones to eliminate the previous task. The remaining 340 pieces of Qingming stones were exchanged for 1,700 spirit stones. Then Master Guiku lifted Ge Dagen's status as a punished disciple and returned his freedom.
According to the regulations of the Ghost Valley, disciples who were punished to enter the mine cave need to pay ten pieces of Qingming stones as a task every month during the punishment period, which is 360 pieces for three years. After the punishment period, they can regain their freedom after completing the task. In recent years, Ge Dagen has to give five pieces of Qingming Stone he finds every month to Master Guifeng first. The rest is naturally not enough to pay the sect's task, and there is still a shortfall of 130 pieces.
Ge Dagen was sentenced to three years, which expired last year. It was only because he had not completed the task of paying the Qingming Stone that he was imprisoned until now. Now that the task is gone, he is free again. In fact, even if Qingyang did not come to save Ge Dagen this time, he could almost complete the task by staying in this mine for another three years. Of course, this is premised on his survival.
After regaining his freedom, Ge Dagen is still a fellow disciple of the Ghost Valley. In addition, with Qingyang standing next to him, Master Guiku's attitude has improved a lot. He said to him: "Ge Dagen, you were a punished disciple before, and I am the manager sent by the sect here. I have to treat you impartially. I hope you don't mind. Remember to be careful and cautious when you go out, and don't violate the sect rules again."
"Thank you Master Guiku for your advice." Ge Dagen said sincerely.
After everything was settled, Qingyang said goodbye to Ghost Cave Master, then threw out his wind-controlling gourd and took Ge Dagen to the direction of Ghost Valley.
This time, he went to the mine cave to rescue people. From beginning to end, he did not encounter too many obstacles, and it seemed that there was no trap waiting for him, which made Qingyang in a good mood. It seemed that Ghost Cloud Master was not ready yet. This was just right. When he returned to Ghost Valley, there were many people in the sect, and it would not be so easy for Ghost Cloud Master to deal with him. He could still live in peace for a while.
This time, he got thousands of Qingming stones in the mine cave, with a total value of nearly 50,000 spirit stones. If they were all exchanged for Hantan Orders, he could get at least more than 100 pieces. He could stay in Hantan for at least ten years. With these ten years as a buffer, not to mention diluting Ghost Cloud Master's hatred for him, at least he could improve his cultivation to the peak of the sixth level of Jindan.
By then, even if Guiyun Zhenren wanted to cause trouble for him, he would have to think twice. If Qingyang had the cultivation of the sixth level of Jindan, he could fight even against a Jindan Perfection cultivator. Unless Guiyun Zhenren's master Youshi Zhenjun came in person, anyone who came would be a waste. How could Youshi Zhenjun come out for the private disputes of the juniors? He couldn't afford to lose that person.
Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but feel relaxed, and the stone weighing on his heart also disappeared for the most part. The only thing that worried him was that there was no clue about Yu Mengmiao's matter. It has been almost 20 years since Yu Mengmiao's accident, and the means used by the One-horned Ghost King and the Jade Spirit Marrow can only last for a few decades. I don't know when I can find a way to save her.
Qingyang was thinking about things while driving the Yufeng Gourd. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight hours passed. It was more than 4,000 miles away from the mine. After such a long time of controlling the Yufeng Gourd, even Qingyang was a little tired. Seeing this, Ge Dagen quickly replaced him.
