Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15921 Developing Believers
The miners here didn't change anything just because a new foreman took over. The foreman kept a record of how much ore they mined each day, and at the end of the month, they were all paid spirit stones. They would be paid based on how much ore they mined each day. So the management here was relatively loose. You could work if you wanted, or not work if you didn't want to. In the end, you were paid based on the amount of ore mined, not the number of days.

Moreover, all these people were eating Bigu Pills. Bigu Pills are called Bigu Pills because they are a type of elixir. If the miners were to eat regular meals, they would have to consume a lot of food, including large amounts of meat. However, with Bigu Pills, they don't have to worry about this. Even if you work in the mining industry every day, one Bigu Pill is enough to support you for ten days without eating. So, all things considered, it's more cost-effective to eat Bigu Pills. This is why Chen Feng couldn't see anyone eating here before.

All the miners live here. They might go home once a month. Most of the time, they live on the mine because their homes are usually about two days away from the mine. So, under normal circumstances, they only go home once a month, stay for two days, and then come back to deliver spirit stones to their families for living expenses. Although the miners work hard, they earn a decent amount, so their families live quite well.

Of course, this is relative. For cultivators like Chen Feng, the spirit stones they earn each month are simply not enough to live on, but for ordinary people, the spirit stones they earn each month are enough to support a family comfortably.

Chen Feng had been here for several days, observing the place to see if there was any embezzlement. Unfortunately, there wasn't, because the ore was essentially useless once taken back.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng also learned about the situation of the miners. He found that many of the miners had children at home, and the children were not very old. Chen Feng felt that this was a breakthrough point, but he decided to start with the person in charge.

He had already learned about the ten managers over the past few days, and finally chose one who was in his forties. This manager looked to be in his forties and had a child at home who was only ten years old and whose talent was only average. However, this manager still hoped that his child could enter the outer sect of the sect, so he wanted to earn more money to buy some pills for his child.

Chen Feng chose him, feeling that he was the most suitable person to preach to. After setting his target, Chen Feng began to take action. That night, after the miners had finished work, all the managers came to him to report their accounts.

After Chen Feng finished recording the bill, he let them leave. As they were leaving, Chen Feng called out to the person in charge, whose surname was Ye and given name was Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised to be stopped by Chen Feng. Although Chen Feng had been here for a few days, they hadn't had much contact with him. However, they knew one thing: Chen Feng was very arrogant and almost never looked at them directly. But other than that, there was nothing wrong with him. Chen Feng wouldn't cause them any trouble or interfere in the affairs of the mine, so they were quite satisfied with him.

This was the first time Chen Feng had stopped someone in days, so the others were quite curious. However, Chen Feng didn't let them stay, so they had no choice but to leave. After they left, Chen Feng looked at Ye Zhen and said, "Manager Ye, I heard you have a child who wants to join the outer sect of the sect?"

Ye Zhen was taken aback, then quickly replied, "Yes, Master." He felt uneasy, wondering what Chen Feng was planning to do.

Chen Feng glanced at him, then asked, "How is your child's talent?"

Ye Zhen's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still replied, "In response to Master, it is not good."

Chen Feng looked at Ye Zhen and then said, "I plan to stay here at the mine for a while, so we'll be interacting frequently in the future. If your child can join the outer sect, he'll become my junior brother, so we should get to know each other better. Tell me, what difficulties is your family facing right now?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Ye Zhen was taken aback. He then shook his head and said, "Replying to Master, we have no difficulties. My child's talent is not very good, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to enter the outer sect."

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then said, "I have a method here that can improve your child's talent and allow your child to successfully enter the outer sect of the sect. However, after I pass this method on to you, you cannot tell anyone else about it, nor can you let anyone else know about it. Can you do that?"

Ye Zhen was taken aback, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy. But then a hint of confusion and wariness appeared on his face as he looked at Chen Feng and said, "Master, thank you so much. What do I need to do?" Ye Zhen thought that Chen Feng was asking him this because he wanted something from him.

Hearing Ye Zhen's words, Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to do anything. I have a statue here. After you take it home, drip a drop of blood onto the statue, and it would be best if your child also dripped a drop of blood onto the statue. Then chant a spell. After doing this, you just need to act a little arrogant in front of others, and then kneel and worship the statue at night. The reason I don't want you to spread this around is because this method is not the sect's method, but a method I obtained from elsewhere. This method is actually somewhat against the sect's rules. If the sect finds out, they might not accept your child anymore. But if you really do this method, then your child will definitely be able to join the sect." Ye Zhen was stunned when he heard Chen Feng say this. Then he glanced at the statue Chen Feng had placed on the table and asked hesitantly, "Master, is this really possible?"

Chen Feng said in a deep voice, "Whether it's possible or not, you'll know once you try. Anyway, you haven't paid any price. Of course, if you don't want it, that's fine too. Just pretend I didn't say anything, and you can leave."

Ye Zhen looked at the statue on the table, then glanced at Chen Feng, his eyes filled with hesitation. After a while, he gritted his teeth, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Feng, and said, "Thank you, Master. If my child really joins the sect, my whole family will be eternally grateful to you." After saying that, he stepped forward and took the statue.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then go back. There are incantations engraved on the bottom of the statue. You can see them yourself. Go now. Remember, if anyone asks you what I told you, just say that I only asked about your child's cultivation. Don't mention the statue."

Ye Zhen quickly responded, and Chen Feng waved his hand. Ye Zhen then left. Chen Feng stood in the small building, watching Ye Zhen leave, before returning to his room and sitting down. He had finished his work for the day, and now he just had to wait and see when Ye Zhen would come to believe in God.

Ye Zhen returned to his stone hut. Some of the miners slept in huts several of them, while the foremen usually slept alone. Ye Zhen carefully took out the statue from his arms and examined it closely. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Ye Zhen quickly put the statue away and went to open it. Seeing several foremen standing outside, Ye Zhen immediately understood that they had come to inquire about information. Ye Zhen didn't mind and went straight out. Their stone huts weren't very big, and if all the foremen were to enter, the huts wouldn't be able to accommodate them all. So, they usually discussed things outside.

After the group sat down, an older manager asked Ye Zhen, "Young Ye, why did the Master keep you here? Is there any instruction he has for you?"

Ye Zhen shook his head and said, "The master is a good person. He heard about my child's situation and asked me about it. He also said that if my child can enter the outer sect, he will become his junior brother."

When the people in charge heard Ye Zhen say that, they were all taken aback. Then they looked at Ye Zhen with some confusion. One of the people in charge said, "You're just asking about your child's cultivation? When did the Master start meddling in our family's affairs?"

Ye Zhen said, "I guess the master was just asking casually. The master also said that he plans to stay at the mine for a while, so he wants to have more contact with us. I think he just wants to chat with me for a bit."

When the others heard Ye Zhen say this, although they were still a little confused, they didn't say anything and all nodded. Then the old manager said, "We've been in this mine for quite a few years. We've seen all kinds of masters. Some masters are not so easy to deal with. We'd better be careful. After all, there's a lot of money to be made in this mine, and nobody wants to lose this business."

They all nodded in agreement. It was true. The mine was quite profitable, and they didn't want to be kicked out. Although the mine was very free, if the outer disciples wanted to expel someone, it wouldn't be a problem. And those who were expelled would probably never have the chance to return to work at the mine, which would be a huge loss for them. That's why they didn't want to offend Chen Feng, which was why they were so concerned about Chen Feng keeping Ye Zhen to talk. They were worried that offending Chen Feng would cause them a lot of trouble.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the group dispersed. Ye Zhen waited until nightfall when no one was around before taking out the statue. He then dripped a drop of blood onto the statue, as Chen Feng had taught him. He began chanting incantations and bowed three times to the statue. The next moment, he suddenly felt as if he had entered a special space. He then saw the statue, which had grown countless times larger, and knelt before it.

Just when he didn't know what to do, he heard a voice from the idol saying, "My believer, state your wish."

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, then he immediately said, "Almighty God, I want my child to have better talent in cultivation. Please help me, Almighty God."

Then Ye Zhen heard the voice of God again, saying: "As long as you show your arrogance in front of others, all your wishes can be fulfilled. However, you must also make your children believers. I only help my believers."
