Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 554 Explanation is a cover-up
"You can go if you want, but as the head of the sect, it will be a bit troublesome for you to leave," Shi Yan reminded.

Hua Yu hurriedly said: "I can find someone else to take over the position of head temporarily."

Being the head of a sect is good, but it is too restrictive. He hasn't been out to gain experience for a long time.

"Xiaoyi will also be leaving with us tomorrow, so let's temporarily let another reliable person take over your position as the head of the sect."

Who can Hua Yu ask for help? The first person Shi Yan thought of was Xiao Yi. After all, Xiao Yi had temporarily taken over the position of the head for a period of time. If Xiao Yi took over this position temporarily, the three of them would feel relieved.

"Then can I ask the waiter to help?" Hua Yu asked cautiously.

Although Xiao Er has never been in charge of the sect's affairs, his cultivation has reached the peak of the fusion stage. Based on his cultivation, other people in the sect would definitely not dare to disobey him.

It would be better to let Xiaoyi manage the valley than to let Xiaoer.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask them a question."

Shi Yan asked Xiao Yi and Xiao Er via telepathic communication if they knew the locations of those mines, and the answer was yes.

So he then sent a message to Xiaoyi, telling him that Xiaoer would be the one to lead the way, and Xiaoyi would stay in the valley to temporarily take over the position of the head.

Xiaoyi is just a puppet who obeys the orders of his master. Of course, he will do whatever his master says without any complaints.

Once a puppet is created, its cultivation level is fixed, and there will be no room for growth. Therefore, there is no such thing as experience. There is no such thing as relying on experience to increase cultivation level, and there will be no incidents of fighting.

After Shi Yan and Xiao Yi confirmed everything, he looked up at Hua Yu and said, "I'll let Xiao Er go out with Xiao Yi. You can go and take over from Xiao Yi now."

"Okay, two elders, I'm going out now."

"Ayan, have you noticed? This Hua Yu seems to have changed." Looking at Hua Yu's hurried back, Han Xin said with a smile.

The person had disappeared, but his Taoist partner was still looking in the direction where the person disappeared. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Shi Yan pouted and said jealously, "Is he better looking than me? Why are you so reluctant to take your eyes away?"

Han Xin rolled her eyes at him. She was just thinking about something, so she didn't look away. She didn't expect that this would cause Shi Yan to misunderstand.

But Han Xin didn't explain.

If your partner gets angry with you over such a small thing, it only means that he doesn't trust you and is suspected. No matter how much you explain, he may not believe whether what you said is true. He may even suspect that you are guilty.

After all, explanation is concealment.

Of course Han Xin didn't explain, because she knew Shi Yan was just jealous, and she believed that he would not misunderstand her.

Sure enough, after a while, Shi Yan found a way out for himself.

"He has changed a bit. Before, he showed leadership in everything, but now that he has gotten what he wanted, he seems to have the idea of ​​not wanting to do it anymore." Looking at the way Hua Yu was evading the issue just now, doesn't he just want to stay in the valley and be in charge?
"Haha. Maybe there are too few people in the sect, and he feels there is no achievement in managing it, so he wants to leave." Han Xin guessed casually.

The next morning, Han Xin, Shi Yan, Xiao Er, and Hua Yu left the valley without disturbing anyone.

Song Yue and the others went into seclusion as soon as they came back, and Han Xin did not inform them that they were going out.

In order not to alert the enemy, they did not take any action at the Ascension Pool for the time being, but first went to the spirit stone mine farthest from the valley.

The flying boat traveled day and night and took more than half a month to reach the destination.

After a day's rest, a group of people went to explore the situation in the mine in the evening.

They found that there were three types of miners in the mine. One type was the monks from the Yue family who worked as miners.

They were treated the best, with free meals every day. Although the quality of the meals was a little poor, they were free, and they could get 5% of the minerals they dug every day.

These are generally family members who have made mistakes in the family and were punished to work in the mines, or they are family monks who want to earn more resources for cultivation.

The family members who were punished usually did not stay in the mine for long. They could leave the mine once the punishment period was over. However, those monks who wanted to earn resources for cultivation could leave at any time.

One type is the casual cultivators who join the family mines to mine. They have no resources for cultivation and join out of helplessness. After joining, they need to sign a time contract. If they want to leave the mine, they must leave at the time specified in the contract. Their remuneration is 1% of the amount they submit, and they have to buy their own meals with spirit stones.

The last type is the ascended monks who have ascended from the lower realms, as well as the spiritual monks who have offended the aristocratic families. This type of people is the most miserable. Not only are their spiritual powers bound, but they can only get the simplest ordinary food, steamed corn bread, every day, which they have to swallow with cold water.

The Yue family's garrisoned monks only need to avoid starving to death and have the strength to work.

This type of miners have the least human rights. They work for free in the mines without any pay. They are often whipped for various reasons and may even be beaten to death if they are not careful.

In the end, he died, burned to ashes by a spell, and there was no place to seek justice.

There are cultivators from the Yue family stationed at several entrances outside the mine here. There are about ten cultivators at each entrance, among whom there is only one in the Fusion Stage, two or three in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the rest are in the Void Refinement Stage, and their cultivation bases are not high.

There are also Yue family monks stationed and patrolling inside the mine, about fifty or sixty of them. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is at the peak of the fusion stage, two are in the middle stage of the fusion stage, and the rest are at the God Transformation stage or below, and there is even someone at the Nascent Soul stage.

Han Xin and Shi Yan did not take action, but they released Goudan to help. Together with Xiao Er, who was at the peak of the fusion stage, Han Er, who was at the peak of the Mahayana stage, and Hua Yu and the other four, they quickly occupied the spirit stone mine.

The cultivators of the Yue family who fought hard were killed, and those who surrendered in time had their dantian sealed by Han Er and their storage devices taken away.

All the spirit stones that had been dug out from the spirit stone mine were collected together.

As for the miners, they can continue to mine, but they will need to hand over half of the spirit stones to Han Xin and the others. If they are afraid and don't want to stay here any longer, they can leave after swearing not to spread the news of the mine.

The seal on the dantian of the ascended monks was unlocked. As for their destination, they could either stay temporarily and continue mining, with the same treatment as the casual monks, and hand over half of the mined goods, or leave the mine directly, but they also had to swear not to spread what happened in the mine.
