I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The release of indulgences caused an uproar among the mining slaves in the Eastern Wilderness.

"If I hand over more money, can I atone for my sins? Once I've handed over enough, can I become a high-ranking official?"

"That's right!"

"By paying one ounce of resources every hundred years, it would take roughly a billion years to atone for the sins!"

"However, if you pay two ounces of resources every hundred years, then it will only take five hundred million years to atone for your sins!"

One of the miners got excited, "What if I hand over just one pound of resources over a hundred years?"

"Then congratulations, you can atone for your sins in a hundred million years! You'll rise to the position of a high-ranking official!"

"A billion years is a long time, but what does it mean to us cultivators?"

"If you work hard for a billion years, you'll have endless blessings to enjoy afterward."

"The opportunity is in front of you; you must seize it!"

then!

The group of miners went to mine with tears in their eyes.

The two groups of immortals, once powerful, were reduced to mine slaves. "Masters," they pleaded, "can we atone for our sins?"

The pharmacist pondered for a moment, "Your sins are even greater, and you need to endure more suffering to temper your Dao heart, so you will have to work for two billion years."

"Of course, if a lot is handed over, it might only take hundreds of millions of years!"

"Okay, let's do it."

The Supreme Saint of the Eastern Pole has fallen.

The Eight Desolations and Eight Sages have also perished!

Confrontation will only lead to certain death.

Moreover, this is the far east, a place steeped in servility.

The existence of slaves is not against the will of Heaven.

Being a miner slave, I gradually accepted it.

The second century.

Jieyin and Zhunti trembled all over, and the trembling became more and more intense.

Because after deducting what was handed over, he was able to keep 500,000 catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and 50,000 catties of Tai Chu Ink Crystal.

"Waaaaah! I'm rich!"

The natal spiritual treasures of Jieyin and Zhunti were able to be upgraded to the highest grade of innate level!

Even the spiritual treasures of the pharmacist and his disciples had to be upgraded!

at the same time.

Taiqing and Yuqing, who had captured nearly a million immortals, had grim and displeased expressions!

Of the millions of miners, one-tenth were immortals.

Without entering the realm of the Great Luo, production capacity is extremely limited.

Millions of miners toiled for a century.

Only then can one obtain nearly two thousand catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and two hundred catties of Primordial Ink Crystal.

Then 80% must be handed over.

In this way, only four hundred catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and forty catties of Primordial Ink Crystal remained.

Everyone knows that Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and Tai Chu Ink Crystal are valuable items, and such a quantity is unacceptable to Tai Qing and Yu Qing!

Did a sage personally go mining?

Like a lowly ant?

Even more intolerable!

Guang Chengzi sighed, "It's a pity we couldn't seize more mine slaves back then."

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded in agreement, "Yes, that damned Li Yu is inhuman too. Why should he have to hand over 80%?"

"If we operate this small mine at full capacity, it could produce at least 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) over a century!"

"Currently, there are not enough miners; there are only a mere two thousand jin."

The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable turned ashen.

Just then, Jieyin and Zhunti came over for a visit.

"Oh, Brother Yuqing, why do you look so pale? Didn't you get enough rest?"

Jieyin and Zhunti walked with a clattering sound, their pockets brimming with minerals.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, and said, "Speak your mind, or shut up."

"Oh dear, I was just a little worried and concerned to see how pale you look, fellow Daoist."

"I heard that Brother Dao's output is only two thousand catties in a hundred years? Then don't worry so much, take a rest when you need to."

"Two thousand catties is already very impressive; it's almost catching up with half a month's output in the Eastern Wilderness."

The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable darkened even more.

Guang Chengzi gasped, "How many do you produce in a hundred years?"

Jieyin and Zhunti boasted, "A few million catties is nothing to them."

"Hiss!" Guang Chengzi, Antarctic Immortal, and Jade Cauldron Immortal gasped.

Master Yu Ding personally dug it up; this Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow is incredibly hard and extremely difficult to mine!

Jieyin and Zhunti continued to boast, "This mineral is indeed amazing. Look, fellow Daoist, our natal spiritual treasures have all advanced to the top-grade innate level. Given time, we will be able to catch up with your Pangu Banner."

"Brother Dao, why is your face even darker?"

"In the past, in the primordial world, your Chan Sect took good care of my Western region."

"Now that we've left the Primordial World, let's put aside our grudges for now and settle them when we return. We're all family here."

"promise!"

"A small gift to mark our meeting!"

Jieyin and Zhunti each gave Guangchengzi, Antarctic Immortal, and Yuding Zhenren a gift of ten catties each.

"I'm leaving, don't bother seeing me off."

Jieyin and Zhunti emerged from Yuanshi Tianzun's small mine, laughing heartily, "Hahaha! Awesome!"

"Our West has finally got to hold its head high!"

"I can't help but laugh when I see Brother Yuqing getting his comeuppance! I just can't hold it in."

"Let's go, let's go and humiliate Brother Taiqing."

Jieyin and Zhunti are now truly wealthy landowners. After being suppressed for too long, they are finally able to hold their heads high and breathe freely. How refreshing is that?

Of course, Jieyin and Zhunti only dare to criticize Taiqing and Yuqing.

He dared not boast to Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, or anyone else.

They were terrified that that damned Li Yu would increase their share of the tax revenue!

After finally getting people motivated, why should they hand over what they've been exploited for?

Actually, the concerns of Jieyin and Zhunti are unfounded.

Rules are rules!

Li Yu set the rules to encourage healthy competition, so how could he change them so easily?

……

An unnamed small mine.

Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened.

"Starting tomorrow, Guang Chengzi, Nanji Ru, and the others should also go down into the mine."

Guang Chengzi and Nanji were dumbfounded. "Huh? Me?"

A dignified direct descendant of the Chan Sect, going to mine? To do lowly work?

This is even more painful than killing Guang Chengzi or Antarctica.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said coldly, "What? You're unwilling?"

"This disciple is willing!"

"Everything is for the sake of Chan Buddhism!"

Guang Chengzi and Antarctica dared not utter a single word of dissent; they could only obediently go and mine.

At the same time!

With a dark expression, Taiqing Laozi said in a deep voice, "Starting tomorrow, Xuandu, you will go down into the mine."

Xuan Du didn't even dare to refute, simply saying, "Yes!"

Taiqing Laozi was somewhat regretful, regretting that he hadn't taken on more disciples back then, as he now didn't even have enough manpower for mining.

Mystic Frost Chalcedony and Primordial Ink Crystal are truly wonderful things!

The broken natal spiritual treasures of Jieyin and Zhunti have truly reached the top-grade innate level!

If things continue like this, they probably won't last ten thousand years. Those two poor bastards, Jieyin and Zhunti, will soon possess spiritual treasures at the level of innate supreme treasures!

Someone who used to be no better than you has suddenly surpassed you—this is unbearable!

There's nowhere to put the dough!

Just as Li Yu said!

Practicing Buddhism is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will move backward!

Taiqing Laozi didn't want to fall behind, so he had to work hard in Xuandu. It was time to repay his sect!

……

The third century.

Production in Donghuang has reached a new high.

This time, excluding what was handed over, Jieyin and Zhunti harvested a total of nearly 800,000 catties!

Far ahead of the other seven wastelands!

When Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Sun Wukong, Randeng, and others heard about the yield of the Eastern Wilderness, they were astonished.

"This Jieyin and Zhunti are quite remarkable!"

"How can you get so much without being whipped?"

"I couldn't hold it in any longer; it's definitely a perfect match for my major!"

then!

Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Sun Wukong, Randeng, Kong Xuan, and others came to Jieyin and Zhunti to "obtain the scriptures" without prior arrangement.

Exchange experiences.

Hearing about Western theories of suffering and indulgences!

Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, and the others stared wide-eyed. "Damn it! The West! You guys are geniuses!"

"Oh, keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

"You didn't hold anything back, did you? There weren't any other ways to increase production, were there?"

Jieyin and Zhunti immediately wiped away their tears. "Actually... my two senior brothers also secretly went down into the mine... working day and night to mine..."

"Glamorous and glamorous? It's all an act... Please, please don't tell the First Emperor that we in the West are truly suffering. This is all thanks to the hard work of my senior brother and me... Waaaaah!"

After holding back for a long time, Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Sun Wukong, Randeng, and Kong Xuan raised their fingers and exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Kong Xuan began to reflect, 'Although Jieyin and Zhunti are shameless, they are still genuine saints! Even saints personally went down into the mines! What can't I, Kong Xuan, do?'

"Kong Xuan, you haven't even attained sainthood, and you don't even have the perseverance of those in the West. How can this be acceptable?"

"Starting tomorrow! Mining!"
