Chapter 2 Payday

Walking out of the wooden house with the door open, Tang Hao quickly glanced around and found that he was in a remote location. The nearest wooden house was five meters away and there were not many people walking around nearby. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cheat had just arrived in his account, and he was so excited that he withdrew the reward into reality without thinking too much.

Only then did I realize how rash and inappropriate my behavior was, as the door was still wide open.

So he quickly put the ID card into the reward space. If someone found it, it would be a big joke.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

Tang Hao looked around, listened attentively, and walked quickly towards the direction where the faint voices came from.

Facing the morning mist in the mountains and following the faint voices of people, he walked through the wooden houses.

After a while, they finally arrived near a two-story wooden building with a large area.

He was panting, holding onto a tree to slow his breathing. As he walked a few steps, his vision went dark. This new body was so weak, not even as good as a fragile college student.

He raised his eyes and looked over, complaining in his heart.

Then, they saw disciples in gray Taoist robes walking towards the wooden building in groups of three or four.

"The dining hall, it seems this is where we eat."

While watching, his eyes accidentally met several other gazes. He was surprised to notice that several figures who looked similar to him in a dishevel subconsciously nodded in a friendly manner.

Afterwards, Tang Hao walked into the wooden building in a low-key manner, controlling his gaze so as not to make contact with others.

As soon as you enter the canteen, there is a long row of stalls on the left.

However, perhaps because it was breakfast time, most of the places were empty at this time, with only the first few open.

Behind the stall, there were also several men and women in grey robes, helping the disciples get their meals.

It looks a bit like a university cafeteria, Tang Hao said to himself with some nostalgia.

As he followed the team, he turned his head to observe the breakfast items on the stall counter.

There were two or three kinds of porridge, four or five side dishes, and then steamed buns and dumplings. The variety was not particularly large, but compared to what he expected, it was already very rich.

Soon it was Tang Hao's turn. He ordered a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, a little of each side dish, and finally took two steamed buns, and only then was he satisfied.

He arrived late and there were no empty seats on the first floor. After a moment's hesitation, he dragged his tired body up to the second floor.

"Tang Hao, this way!"

He had just climbed up to the second floor with his tongue hanging out and his legs feeling like they were filled with lead. Before he could catch his breath, he heard someone calling him.

Oh no, there’s someone I know!

Tang Hao's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Why didn’t my memories merge after I traveled through time?

His heart was howling with anxiety, but his face was as calm as an old dog. Tang Hao looked over calmly.

"Hey, it's the guy from this morning."

I wanted to refuse, but then I thought that would make people more suspicious.

Helplessly, he walked towards the window, put down his breakfast, and imitated what he had seen on the road, bowing to the people at the table and saying hello: "Hello, brothers!"

"Well, sit down!" The burly man nodded in response.

A disciple sitting at the same table asked curiously, "Senior Brother Xue, is this fellow student from your hometown?"

Senior Brother Xue shook his head and said with a slow laugh, "No, I just think Junior Brother Tang is a promising talent."

He gestured for everyone to eat and drink as they pleased, then picked up a side dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, casually telling them what happened in the morning.

Tang Hao remained silent. While lowering his head to show off his fans, he secretly listened to the conversation between several people.

"So Junior Brother Tang is one of those three people from yesterday!" The disciple who had asked the question earlier was named Zhao. He now looked at Tang Hao in surprise: "Tsk tsk! Junior Brother, could it be that he has some kind of spiritual body or Taoist body?"

This morning, two disciples couldn't even make it through the first day. If Tang Hao hadn't traveled through time, he would have been the third one.

Hearing Senior Brother Zhao's question, Tang Hao put down his chopsticks and was about to answer when another disciple named Li chuckled and said, "Probably not. If one truly possesses a special physique, it would be discovered during the sect's entrance examination. Then one would also start as an outer disciple."

"That's right, I was mistaken." Senior Brother Zhao shook his head and smiled, "But judging from yesterday's situation, it should be difficult to replenish the body with just one meal. This is a bit strange."

During the conversation, Tang Hao also realized that it turned out that in this canteen, no matter what kind of food was served in the breakfast, lunch or dinner, they all had the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood. The reason for this seemed to be related to the work they did.

"It's probably because of his special physique that he can quickly recover his blood and qi. It's also helpful for his progress in cultivation." Senior Brother Li said it very easily and casually, but he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

Senior Brother Zhao was also somewhat envious: "Junior Brother Tang doesn't have to worry about not being able to survive the erosion of Qi and blood before the Qi is drawn into the body."

"You're already at the third level of Qi Refining, and you're still envious of this." Senior Brother Li laughed at him and said, "Speaking of which, there have indeed been more new disciples who couldn't hold on in the past two years. Fortunately, the deacons and elders above don't care, otherwise Senior Brother Xue, the supervisor, would probably be reprimanded."

So this Senior Brother Xue was actually the supervisor? Tang Hao, who was busy showing off his food, couldn't help but glance at him.

Senior Brother Xue snorted and laughed: "It's just a few people who died."

Tang Hao felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. In this world of immortal cultivation, life is worthless. The Qinghua Sect is still a righteous immortal sect, but human life is so worthless. It is really true that cultivators are nothing but ants.

I don’t know when I will be able to draw the energy into my body.

After finishing their breakfast, the errand disciples walked down the mountain in groups.

The food in the canteen is really good. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very effective in replenishing qi and blood. Tang Hao just felt warm all over at this moment. All the symptoms he had when he woke up in the morning were greatly relieved, especially his head, which no longer felt painful.

As the brain's blood and oxygen supply catch up, fragments of memories begin to emerge in the mind.

"It turns out it's not that there are no memories left, but rather the effects of severe Qi and blood loss." Tang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are still some gaps in my memory, I have all the recent memories, especially those after I joined the sect, so I don’t have to worry about appearing weak and arousing suspicion.

The workplace was not far away, and it must have been specially arranged. It was only a few minutes' walk, and he followed the crowd to an open-pit mine.

Tang Hao, who had received the memory, was mentally prepared for this.

Mining is indeed the hardest chore. Compared to it, cooking, planting, raising animals, etc. can all be considered easy and carefree.

It’s a pity that such a lucrative job is not something that someone like him with no status or background can dream of.

As for cleaning and such, don't be ridiculous. Does a sect of immortal cultivation need special people to do this?
"Junior Brother Tang, I see you haven't fully recovered yet. You should work outside the mine today."

While he was daydreaming, the supervisor, Brother Xue, suddenly patted him on the shoulder and gave him instructions in a gentle tone.

The disciples who were receiving pickaxes and bamboo baskets around couldn't help but look over when they heard this.

The new disciples looked at Tang Hao with deep envy, while the Qi Refining disciples who had already drawn Qi into their bodies looked at him with a hint of surprise.

Seeing this, Tang Hao was also puzzled. Senior Brother Xue had a cold face towards him in the morning, so why was he so friendly now?

He was filled with doubt and uncertainty in his heart, but he quickly responded with an expression of flattery: "Thank you very much for your care, Senior Brother Xue."

After thanking and saying goodbye, Tang Hao also took the mining manuscript and bamboo basket and was about to put them on his back when he suddenly had an idea and wondered if there was anything worth seeing with these two.

The result was that no matter whether I called out with my mind or rubbed it with my hands, there was no response at all.

'It seems that not everything can be triggered.'

On the way here, he had tried touching many things, but nothing happened. The only thing that moved was the ID card hanging around his waist.

However, unlike when I was in the cabin, no new advertisement popped up, but a white reminder appeared on the sign.

【Refresh time: one day】

Well, cooldown, that makes sense.

As he stepped into the mining area, the slightly moist and crisp air in the mountains suddenly changed, and Tang Hao suddenly felt cold all over.

That kind of coldness was not caused by a change in temperature or climate, but rather a feeling of someone holding a sharp knife, with the blade moving close to the skin and scratching through the hairs.

Even with every breath, there was a slight tingling sensation in the nose, throat, and even lungs, as if countless tiny needles invisible to the naked eye were floating in the air.

Fortunately, it was only on the periphery, and Tang Hao felt he could still bear it. The intensity was indeed much weaker than he remembered.

Enduring the discomfort and squinting his sore eyes, he lowered his head and searched carefully, occasionally using a pickaxe to dig up the rubble under his feet.

The area outside the mining area is indeed much more comfortable, but the ore is really scarce. It took a while to search before I finally found a piece.

After a series of clanging sounds, a piece of black ore the size of an egg rolled to the ground. Upon closer inspection, one could see strands of dark red in the ore, just like the densely distributed capillaries under the skin. This was the main mineral of this mine, hematite.

With a hint of joy on his face, Tang Hao picked up the ore. It felt slightly heavy and cold in his hand.

At the same time, he also noticed a prompt appearing above his field of vision:
There are ads to watch

【Watch now】【Watch later】【Exit reminder】

Among them, under the [Watch Now] button, there is a progress bar advancing rapidly.

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Hao clicked [Watch later] with his mind.

He didn't know how long this video was, or how fast time flowed outside when watching the video. To be safe, it would be better not to watch it immediately.

Select OK, and the prompt message will shrink immediately and turn into a small button [Watch Video].

They kept searching and digging, putting pieces of hematite into bamboo baskets.

Except for having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, most of the menial disciples spent the whole day in the mining area.

It was not until nearly dinner time that everyone gathered together under the shouting of the supervisor, Senior Brother Xue, and handed in the ore for weighing.

While waiting, Tang Hao also summarized his golden fingers.

[Exit Reminder] can directly ignore the video, and when you long press the option with your mind, the progress bar of [Watch Now] will stop, and after three seconds, the item will be permanently ignored. After six seconds, similar items can be permanently ignored.

Of course, items that have been permanently ignored can still be reawakened using the power of thought.

Not bad, quite smart.

After handing over the ore and weighing and registering it, Tang Hao followed the large group back to the canteen in the residential area.

The dinner was very sumptuous. He picked out some dishes that looked delicious, found a seat nearby and started showing off his meal.

After a fierce show of strength, he quickly ended the fight and was about to get up and return to his residence.

Then he saw Senior Brother Xue walk in from outside and stop not far from his table.

The disciples who had just been enjoying their dinner, some fast, some slow, all paused, and then someone shouted to the second floor, "Senior Brother Xue is back."

There was a loud rustling sound overhead, and the disciples who were eating on the second floor immediately ran down like the wind.

Tang Hao raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat puzzled. After listening to the discussion among his fellow disciples, he realized that today was actually 'payday'. No wonder many people stayed to chat and laugh after finishing their meals early in the morning and did not leave.

Seeing that everyone was present, Senior Brother Xue smiled slightly, took out a small black cloth bag from his arms, and shook it slightly, and two wooden boxes suddenly appeared on the ground.

There were two wooden boxes, one big and one small. The big one was full of silver, while the small one was half full of round, smooth, white stones.

All the disciples held their breath and stared at the two wooden boxes.

Tang Hao, however, had his eyes shining as he stared intently at the small black cloth bag in Senior Brother Xue's hand.

Storage bags!
want to touch!

Hmm...if I touch it, will the reward be a storage bag, or the things inside?

While he was daydreaming, Senior Brother Xue had already started paying salaries according to the invoices in hand.

The process was unremarkable, and seemed to be based on the order of entry into the clan, neither starting from the lowest amount of mining nor from the highest amount.

There was nothing interesting to watch! Tang Hao felt a little sleepy.

However, Senior Brother Xue's next words instantly dispelled all his sleepiness, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Next is Junior Brother Du Maocai. Junior Brother Du is the person who handed in the most ore last month. According to the sect's rules, he will be rewarded with a [Qi-Inducing Pill]."

Senior Brother Xue took a white pill from his storage bag and held it in his hand. After looking around, he smiled and said, "New junior brothers may not know this, but this [Qi-Inducing Pill] can greatly increase the success rate of guiding Qi into the body. In addition, it is not easy to refine, so it is extremely precious..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the new disciples couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Tang Hao's eyes were also full of desire. This thing must be something Guangzi can see, right? I want it! I really want to touch it!

His mind raced as he turned his head to look for something.

Quickly locked onto a corner.

There, a young man with a sallow face was standing up tremblingly.

As if he was too excited, the young man's lips trembled, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he could only stand by holding on to the table.

Seeing this, Tang Hao's eyes turned and he had an idea in his mind.
