Chapter 2 Servant - Chief 1
But as time went on...
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
The matter of paying additional taxes is finally over.
This made things much easier for Ye Xuan'an and the other cultivators who were mining.
In addition, Ye Xuan'an was able to save a lot of ore every month, and gradually he saved more than 300 catties of ore.
At this moment, somewhere in the mineral vein.
"I have quite a bit of ore stored up; if I were to take it outside and sell it, it would be enough to exchange for over thirty spirit stones, which is enough for me to exchange for a body cultivator servant."
"Furthermore, with the additional taxes settled, we mining cultivators are free to travel to the outside world."
"Therefore, it's time to make a trip to Ruoshui Market."
Ye Xuan'an secretly made some plans.
Ruoshui Market is the only market in Ruoshui County and also its economic center. It has many spiritual objects and is not too far from the mines, making it convenient to sell ore there.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xuan'an went to the general affairs office of the mine and told Zhao Yuanming, who was stationed there, that he intended to go out.
In addition, Zhao Yuanming was the strongest Zhao clan cultivator stationed at the mine. His cultivation level was at the peak of Qi Refining, and he was quite powerful, already in his eighties or nineties. He had a full head of white hair and wore a black Daoist robe of the Zhao clan, which made him look quite like an immortal.
"Going out is fine, but according to the rules, you need to hand over the spirit iron pickaxe that my clan previously distributed to you. After all, that kind of thing has some value. If you take it with you and run away, my clan will suffer some loss."
"By the way, which main mine are you from, and what's your name? I need to register you."
The old steward Zhao Yuanming murmured to Ye Xuan'an.
"Ye Xuan'an, from the No. 5 main mine shaft."
"This is my Spirit Iron Draft."
Ye Xuan'an took out the spirit iron pickaxe he had acquired years ago and handed it to him, explaining in detail.
"From the No. 5 main mine shaft?"
"You must be feeling cooped up for the past six months. But remember, you can go out, but remember to save your spirit stones."
"You earn spirit stones not easily, don't let those fox spirits in the market drain you dry."
Zhao Yuanming kindly offered his advice.
As he was in charge of the mine's general affairs hall, he was fully aware of the Blood Fiend Gang's six-month blockade of Mine No. 5.
However, he was of mortal origin, and even with his high level of cultivation, it would be difficult for him to interfere in this matter.
In addition, he came here to retire.
He didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters and pretended not to know.
In addition, with the Blood Fiend Gang's lifting of the blockade, many cultivators from Mine No. 5 have recently ventured out.
Because of their vigorous blood and energy, most of the cultivators would go to the brothels in the market to enjoy themselves.
And money can be spent like water in that place.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan'an felt a greater sense of goodwill towards him.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuanming thoroughly searched Ye Xuan'an's body to find out if he had any Blazing Flame Ore or other such items before letting him go.
"Fortunately, I hid the ores in the Servant Tower beforehand, and the Servant Tower was extremely well hidden. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to bring those ores out at all with ordinary storage items."
Ye Xuan'an was secretly delighted.
He then bowed and said goodbye, changed his clothes, put on a black veil, and even cast a concealment spell on himself before leaving the mine along a small path.
"He's a cautious lad, but this mine is getting increasingly chaotic and polluted."
"Alas... if only Ancestor Dongfang were still alive, then this mine, and even the entire family, wouldn't have become so filthy."
As Zhao Yuanming watched Ye Xuan'an's departing figure, some memories came to mind.
In addition, Zhao Dongfang was the previous patriarch of the Zhao clan, and his cultivation level had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, making him the number one person in the previous generation of the Zhao clan.
Moreover, he was upright and incorruptible, so during his tenure, the Zhao family was like an iron barrel.
Unfortunately, his lifespan ended more than ten years ago, and the Zhao family was also experiencing a period of decline, failing to produce any new powerhouses above the late Foundation Establishment stage.
The Zhao family was left leaderless.
In addition, the Zhao family had many members who had established their foundations, and each of them had their own agendas, so the Zhao family gradually became chaotic.
Even the Blood Fiend Gang and other gangs within the mine were successively supported by some cultivators of the Zhao family at that time, and became parasites on the Zhao family.
……
the other side.
Ruoshui County, Ruoshui Market.
This market town is like a small city, covering a vast area, with high city walls built all around, and even protected by second-tier formations and strong people guarding it, making it extremely safe.
Many more cultivators continued to enter.
Moreover, it has many streets, and shops are even lined up on both sides of the streets, with shouts of vendors constantly coming from them.
"It's been almost half a year since I last visited this place, and it's still as bustling as ever."
Looking at everything before him, Ye Xuan'an couldn't help but sigh.
Even as soon as he entered this place, he felt a little more relaxed.
This place is completely different from the area around the mine.
"One day, I will definitely establish myself in this market town."
Ye Xuan'an made a silent vow.
Afterwards, he went to Wanbaoge, the largest shop in the market.
It was built by a powerful force outside Ruoshui County, with an astonishing background. Even the Foundation Establishment forces in Ruoshui County dared not provoke it.
Moreover, it not only sells everything, but it also accepts spiritual items regardless of their origin as long as they are of good quality, and it doesn't question their origin. It has always had a good reputation.
At this moment, inside the Wanbao Pavilion.
"Shopkeeper, I'd like to sell some Blazing Flame Ore. Do you buy it?"
After arriving here, Ye Xuan'an sought out the shopkeeper and inquired about the situation.
"receive."
"Ten catties of ore for one spirit stone."
"I wonder if you're satisfied with this price?"
The manager of Wanbaoge said.
"nature."
Ye Xuan'an nodded.
He then took out all the ores he had on him and sold them for thirty-four spirit stones.
The fact that he was carrying a large sum of money made him slightly nervous.
He didn't even dare to stay in the market for long, so he quickly returned to the mine and entered a hidden branch of the No. 5 main mine.
"We've finally waited for this moment."
"call……!"
Seeing that no one was around, Ye Xuan'an immediately sent thirty spirit stones into the servant tower.
The servant suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
hum! ! !
The next moment, a young cultivator, dressed simply but with a burly build, covered in muscles, with dark skin, and as tall as an iron tower, appeared.
"Your subordinate greets your master."
Upon seeing Ye Xuan'an, the young cultivator immediately bowed respectfully.
That attitude is impeccable.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan'an was overjoyed.
He then inquired about the situation in detail.
To his surprise, the young cultivator not only had no memory, but also no name; he only remembered the cultivation technique he practiced.
That was an ordinary earth-attribute physical cultivation technique called "Rock Solid Technique".
This technique can temper one's physique and strength.
In addition, the young cultivator had already entered the first level of Qi Refining.
Therefore, his physique was comparable to two or three tenths of the power of a low-grade first-level defensive magic weapon, and he could withstand several attacks from cultivators of the same level without any problem.
Moreover, he possessed a strength of a thousand jin and formidable power, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators.
He could even fight a level 2 Qi Refining expert to a standstill.
Its ore mining speed was also extremely fast, completely meeting Ye Xuan'an's expectations.
"The skills of body cultivators are indeed well-deserved."
"By the way, since you don't have a name, I'll give you one."
"From now on, you will be called...Kuiichi!"
Ye Xuan'an said with a smile.
"Kui Yi?"
"Your subordinate is willing to follow your master's arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Kuiyi was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in thanks.
"It's alright."
Ye Xuan'an waved his hand.
