Hidden Sword Pavilion is located in a valley deep in Heyin Sect.

This place was originally one of the important places of the Heyin Sect. Many sword techniques and various flying swords were hidden here. However, after a major accident, it was abandoned by the Heyin Sect and turned into a wasteland where almost no one came.

.

The valley is full of red maples and the scenery is superb, but there is very little spiritual energy. No one comes here to practice or do anything.

The empty valley was silent, the broken drums and morning bells were heard in the ruined buildings, and in the square in front of the pavilion, red leaves were flying. A thick black man, bent at the waist, was sweeping the fallen leaves back and forth with a huge broom, looking quite leisurely.

But obviously there is no way to sweep away all the fallen leaves here. Just after they were swept away, they were immediately piled up again.

It's not like sweeping the floor, it's more like a punishment.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shu sighed slightly and walked over in a few steps, "Senior brother, I'll come."

"You're here, don't be in a hurry, wait aside."

Xu Lie smiled modestly, and Zhou Shu was slightly startled. What was going on? Xu Lie's demeanor and words were very different from usual. He immediately noticed that the bigger difference was not here. Xu Lie's

The iconic beard is gone.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you? You're really sweeping the floor, and even your appearance has changed. Who did this?"

A trace of anger appeared on Zhou Shu's face.

Xu Lie smiled slightly, "Haha, this is what Elder Shen did. Do you want to go find him?"

Zhou Shu was startled and felt confused, "Elder Shen of the Golden Core Realm, why does he treat you like this? He clearly knows that what happened in Lengwu Mountain has nothing to do with you."

Xu Lie nodded, "Haha, I volunteered."

"what's up?"

Zhou Shu was a little confused.

Not far away, a person slowly approached, it was Yunli, "Let's go in and talk."

The three of them entered a small room. Xu Lie got a few cups of spiritual tea and drank them leisurely, looking happy.

This made Zhou Shu more and more confused, "Senior Brother Xu, what's going on with you that you suddenly cultivate your mind and character like this?"

"Yes, it's about cultivating your mind and nature. Zhou Shu, you are very savvy."

Xu Lie put down his tea cup, "Elder Shen gave me some advice after seeing me that day. He said that my inability to break through was not all due to physical training, but also had a lot to do with my character."

Yun Li nodded, "Elder Shen gave Senior Brother Xu a book of formulas and asked him to practice according to the law. While training his body, he also cultivated his mind. In five years, he may be able to successfully condense his pulse."

Xu Lie said with some gratitude on his face, "The formula is not difficult, but it takes patience, so I quit my job as a manager and came here to sweep the floor for six hours a day. I feel it has helped me a lot. These days

, I figured out a lot of things. I shouldn’t have been so eager to make progress before, but luckily I woke up early.”

Yun Li smiled faintly, "If I found the body-refining formula for you, I'm afraid you would sink deeper. Fortunately, I didn't find it."

The two of them seemed to be talking, responding to each other, and Zhou Shu next to him seemed to have some realization.

Shen Wen is an elder in the Golden Core Realm and has much wider knowledge. Since it is his advice, it probably makes sense. Xu Lie's temperament is indeed eager. He advances all the way and never takes it step by step. Perhaps he has never been able to break through. This is the reason.

Maybe I shouldn’t be too hasty with my body training.

Zhou Shu thought for a while, then looked at Xu Lie, "Senior Brother Xu, congratulations."

"It's not a good thing for you. I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of the chores in the mine in the future." Xu Lie laughed.

Zhou Shu quickly shook his head, "Brother, it doesn't matter. The same goes for other chores. And this time, I earned enough contribution points."

He was already prepared.

Xu Lie sighed, "I really don't know if the secret realm you dug out is a disaster or a blessing."

Yun Li quickly shook his head, "Don't mention this matter."

"What's the big deal if they're all insiders," Xu Lie exclaimed, "Old Yun, you are always so careful. Besides, with your spiritual awareness, wouldn't you know if someone was eavesdropping around here?"

Yun Li looked cautious, "It's best not to mention it. Before Elder Zhao comes out, this matter will be treated as if it never happened."

Xu Lie nodded helplessly, turned to Zhou Shu and said, "Although I can't care about you in the future, you can't leave your body training behind. No matter what chores you do, you must always maintain it, but don't rush into anything. If you have any questions, you can always come.

ask me."

Zhou Shu responded, "I know, I won't bother senior brother anymore."

"Well, Lao Yun, tell him."

Yun Li looked at Zhou Shu and said slowly, "It was my idea to let you go to the mine, and you did a good job. Your contribution increased faster than some inner disciples. Even things like Lingshan Gold and the entrance to the secret realm were

It was dug out, which is quite unexpected.”

Zhou Shu nodded, suddenly thinking of Xiao Gun.

He made contributions smoothly all the way in the mine, and his biggest contributor was Xiao Gun.

But what kind of spiritual insect Xiao Gun is, he still doesn't know. For this reason, he specially looked for information about the horn shovel, but it is just similar in appearance, but in fact it is very different. Xiao Gun's use is comparable to that of a shovel that only knows how to turn over spiritual fields.

There are too many horn shovels.

It can also sense spiritual energy that reaches ten feet deep into the ground. At this point, I'm afraid many second-order or even third-order spiritual insects may not be able to do so.

Yun Li continued, "But this kind of thing will disappear in the future. You have to make your own contribution."

Zhou Shu dug out the entrance to the secret realm. The commotion was so loud that the sect also investigated the matter. They found that a disciple like Zhou Shu who had just started could actually do mining chores. They were puzzled, so they worked hard to find out.

After some rectification, several stewards who liked to collect benefits lost their positions, and Yunli was also reprimanded and fined for a year of seclusion.

It's okay to go into seclusion, but it would be a little difficult for Yunli to help Zhou Shu.

"I understand, thank you senior brother for your previous pointers."

Zhou Shu doesn't care too much about this result. Even if he doesn't do mining chores, he does other chores. Instead, he has more free time, which can be used to take on some tasks or grow some spiritual grain medicinal materials.

Of course, he will never give up on body training. When doing other tasks, he can also cooperate with body training and do it together.

Yun Li nodded and said seriously, "Well, you'd better work harder in the future. Whether you can enter the inner gate early or not is not a small matter."

"What's the relationship?"

Zhou Shu was a little puzzled. Yun Li said so solemnly, could he still affect the survival of the sect?

"You don't need to know this, you just have to work hard." Yun Li smiled without saying anything clearly.

The so-called relationship is not small, but it is actually just a casual bet between Elder Jin and Elder Shen. It is purely a matter of face and has nothing to do with Zhou Shu himself. Speaking of it will probably make Zhou Shu uncomfortable.

Zhou Shu smiled lightly and said, "I will try my best."

In order to enter the inner door to redeem the elixir, he will naturally do his best, even if others ignore him, he will do so.

He and Yun Li had the same purpose, but what they wanted were completely different. They just met by chance and met each other by chance.
