After everyone had received their chores, Zhou Shu took a few steps and said calmly, "Guanshi Liu, didn't you say that new disciples will not be assigned difficult chores? Isn't this mining difficult?

I remember the sect’s introduction said that mining is one of the two most difficult chores.”

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

Zhu Dashan shouted, "Manager, did you make a mistake?"

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

"Ah? Is there such a thing?"

Liu Anmin looked puzzled, glanced at the jade sign in Zhou Shu's hand, and then smiled, "Ah, this junior brother, you are lucky."

"luck?"

"That's right. If you look at your tasks, you'll be rewarded with a full six hundred contribution points. If you look at other people's tasks, you won't get even one or two hundred points. You've made a lot of money."

Liu Anmin said with certainty.

Many cultivators looked at their jade signs and nodded as if they suddenly understood.

Zhou Shu smiled calmly, "That's not the problem, it's why I have this chore for me."

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

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about taking advantage. Besides, you are a casual cultivator, so you should do more things. Let's go to our respective chore locations. The specific information will be given there. It's time to disperse."

Liu Anmin frowned, did not explain anymore, made a few random remarks, turned around and left.

Zhou Shu watched him leave, shaking his head and saying nothing. Liu Anmin probably took advantage of others and deliberately made things difficult for him by giving 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 Wuhuan 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 switch? You see, I am a feeder of spiritual beasts. I have to go all over the mountains and fields to find some kind of plantains and groundnuts. How do I know what these things are? This is not

Caught blind?"

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

He is not worried about the intensity of mining, just treat it as another kind of physical training, but mining takes too much time. He has to stay in the mine almost every day. How can he have time to practice, let alone

Draw a symbol.

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

"I told you not to call me Lao Li. I'm so young, so call me Aojian, Aojian!" Li Aojian glared dissatisfied, "Just like you, I feed the spiritual beasts."

"How many spiritual beasts are there in the faction?"

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

Li Aojian turned his head, looking helpless, "I'll look for you, you go mow the grass."

"No problem, Lao Li, I'll take care of it!" Zhu Dashan patted his chest.

Zhou Shu couldn't help but smile. It seemed that they were getting along well these days.

He put away the jade sign and said, "You guys go about your business. I'll go to Lengwu Mountain to take a look and say goodbye."

Li Aojian glanced at him and said, "It will be the first year of junior high school in a few days. You have to find time no matter what. If you can't do it, you can ask us for help."

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

From the first to the fourth day of every month, it is the day when Heyin sent classes to the outer disciples.

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

Outer disciples often finish chores in advance during these days so that they can take time to concentrate on practice.

But mining is a job that is difficult to complete 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 five hundred miles away from Xichenyuan. Even using the magic talisman would take several hours. Zhou Shu thought for a moment, walked to the spirit beast pen next to it, and rented a red cloud beast.

The red cloud beast is domesticated from a first-level monster. It is similar to a mortal horse, but it is taller and fiery red. It runs like a red cloud. It is the most common walking spirit beast.

Renting a red cloud beast is not expensive, but it is rare for a disciple who has just started to rent it.

The management disciple took the red cloud beast and said, "Junior brother, if you don't need it anymore, just roll up the reins and it will come back on its own."

"I know, thank you, senior brother."

Zhou Shu stepped onto the red cloud beast and flew out quickly.

The Red Cloud Beast can run more than four hundred miles in one hour, climbing mountains and wading in rivers as if walking on flat ground. Even Foundation Establishment level cultivators 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 fog, which was all condensed by cold air. As soon as I got closer, I felt a chill all over my body, as if I was walking into winter.

The red cloud beast couldn't bear the cold air, so it whimpered and refused to go any further. Zhou Shu had to come down, take it aside and tie it up.

He took out the Nuanyang jade ring and put it on. His body immediately felt much warmer, and then he walked towards the mountain.

Walking to the front of the mountain, Zhou Shu couldn't help but be startled. The mountain in front of him was dotted with hundreds of holes that were shining with light, like huge eyes, which made people feel terrified.

A cultivator wearing the clothes of the Heyin Sect walked over. This man was taller than Zhu Dashan. He also had a pair of beards that almost reached his chest, which was particularly conspicuous.

He glanced at Zhou Shu and said coldly, "I am Xu Lie, the manager of the Lengwushan Mine. You are very strange. Where are you from?"

Zhou Shu cupped his hand and handed over the jade sign, "I am an outer disciple, Zhou Shu. He just joined the school and took over the mining chores not long ago."

Xu Lie took the jade sign, nodded, and glanced at Zhou Shu with an intriguing look, "You are Zhou Shu. Haha, you have been given chores like mining when you first started. I should say that you are greedy for contribution.

Or was it set up by someone?"

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

"Oh, it's interesting, come in."

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

Zhou Shu followed silently behind him.

Entering the gloomy mine, the cold air became more intense, as if he were in an ice cellar, and Zhou Shu couldn't help but shiver.

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

Snapped!

A rusty hoe fell 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 must obey me and do things well!"

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

It is not common in the world of cultivators to show off one's power when one comes in, but Zhou Shu is not surprised at all.

He nodded and said calmly, "Since I have accepted the task, I will naturally do it well. There is no need to talk too much."

Zhou Shu's calm answer surprised Xu Lie, "That's good, I will watch you carefully."

After saying that, he was leaving.

Zhou Shu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Xu Lie turned around and looked at Zhou Shu with disdain, "Haha, I thought you were so stubborn. If you have any questions, just tell me quickly. I will only explain it once."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "Steward Xu, when you talk and walk, your beard doesn't move at all. Could it be that it's made of iron? It's really strange. Please give me some advice, Steward."

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