After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

In fact, Lin Heng had not been unaware of this situation.

When he lived in the slums of Linxian City, he had occasionally heard from itinerant merchants in the market about the fate of the immortal slaves.

However, seeing it with his own eyes ultimately caused him some physical discomfort.

Although he never considered himself a saintly, overly kind person, and often prioritized his own interests.

But even after torturing people to this state, they still care about their unborn child, using the child's spiritual root characteristics to purify the poison...

Honestly, this is no longer a question of whether or not someone is a saint.

Rather, it's the difference between animals and humans.

Such a reaction is simply the most basic human nature...

"snort."

Yun Qinghe simply groaned inwardly and turned her head away, refusing to look at the scene before her.

If it were before, she would have already created a magical technique and taken action.

But she knew that there was something important she hadn't accomplished while she was out with her master.

"teacher……"

Song Jingyu hid directly behind Lin Heng and Yun Qinghe, gently biting her thin lips.

Just as my sister had told me.

Outside, Xiannu never had a good ending.

Becoming the teacher's fairy servants with my sister is the luckiest thing ever.

[Song Jingyu's loyalty has increased by 5, now it is 78]

After all, this was the first time she had witnessed the cruelty of the Demonic Calendar towards the fairies since emerging from the city lord's mansion's underground chambers...

"Hey, young friend Lin Heng, don't misunderstand."

After noticing Lin Heng's expression, Shen Zu immediately stepped forward and said to him, "This fairy slave is not a fairy maiden from our Golden Deer City. She is a fairy slave I brought back from elsewhere."

Lin Heng's change in expression made him think that this was the fate of the fairy slave in her mine, which formed a strong visual contrast with the fairy maiden and the dawn law of Golden Deer City.

Fortunately, Shen Zu knew that although Lin Heng had been in Jinlu City for about half a month, he hadn't been into the city much since the accident he had caused last time.

He certainly wouldn't be as familiar with the fairy maidens of the Mijin Pavilion as the city dwellers are.

As for what became of the fairy slave?

He never found anything strange about it.

After all, ever since the Demonic Calendar, celestial slaves and male cultivators have always been nothing more than tools for work and for venting their frustrations...

Only in a wealthy city like Jinlu City can it be utilized to create additional value.

Elsewhere, this kind of thing is already commonplace.

"Boss Shen."

Lin Heng simply nodded quietly at Shen Zu's explanation. "It's getting late. Let's go check on your mine first."

"Okay, let's set off now!"

Shen Zu nodded heavily.

After all, going to the mine was their main business today.

Leading Lin Heng and his group, Shen Zu beckoned to one of his men to carry an oil lamp and lead the way.

We walked into the pit.

Although he hadn't actually entered the mine yet, Lin Heng, having experienced it firsthand, also felt the spiritual energy fluctuations that Yun Qinghe and the others had mentioned.

Late at night, relying on the light of oil lamps to enter the even darker mine shaft, miners were still widening the entrance on both sides of the shaft.

However, before venturing deeper into the mine, Shen Zu took out a few spirit stones near the outer edge of the mine and activated some magic arrays.

"Young friend Lin Heng, there is some poisonous grime and spiritual moss in the mine, which is very harmful to the body. Running the magic array can also help us resist the poisonous grime from seeping into our bodies."

He clapped his hands, stood up, and explained to Lin Heng, "Because this mine has only recently started operation, the purification work hasn't been completely completed yet..."

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded slightly.

He had been watching from the side when Shen Zu activated the magic array.

On the surface, Shen Zu did indeed activate a total of four magic arrays to resist the poison.

However, there were three other magic arrays whose functions Lin Heng recognized at a glance, based on his knowledge of array construction, were similar to the attack capabilities of the Spirit Suppressing Tower array.

Ordinary people who are mingled among these magic arrays and have little access to knowledge of array construction simply cannot distinguish them.

"Look at young friend Lin Heng, any piece of raw ore from this mine could fetch a high price at an auction."

As they ventured deeper into the mine, Shen Zu pointed to the minerals on the walls and whispered to Lin Heng, "You can sell some of these ores; you might even be able to get a better immortal slave in return..."

"Mr. Shen, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew that the fat old man was beginning to reveal his true purpose.

After all, in Shen Zu's eyes, he had already walked into the center of his magic array.

It was completely under his control...

"Young friend Lin Heng, I'll be frank from the start."

After glancing at Yun Qinghe and the others beside him, Shen Zu pulled Lin Heng to the front and led him to the front of the group.

"Do you know why I let you bring in that heart-eating demon wolf that the fairy slave transformed into?" Shen Zu asked Lin Heng in a low voice.

Lin Heng remained silent.

"To be honest, when I was in the City Lord's Mansion, I noticed that the purple-clad fairy servant who transformed into that Heart-Eating Demon Wolf was a fairy with a water spirit root, and the purity of her spirit root was quite high! This conclusion was drawn through the observation array in the City Lord's Mansion."

Shen Zu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Lin Heng's expression, and said, "The Water Spirit Root Fairy's spiritual root has the function of purifying toxins and impurities. The higher the purity of the spiritual root, the better the purification effect..."

"So what you mean is?"

Lin Heng stopped in his tracks.

"Since she's already turned into a Heart-Eating Demon Wolf, how about... I give you some minerals so you can freely choose your fairy slaves in Golden Deer City, and you can have her clean all the poisonous filth from my mine? What do you say?"

Finally, Shen Zu revealed his true intentions.

The surrounding magic array gave him the confidence to act without fear.

He walked up to the rock wall blocking their path: "This is the current mining progress of our Xuanji Mine. Further mining will require your help, young friend Lin Heng..."

"So, Boss Shen means to have me transform into a demon's servant to help you purify your poison, and then use rare ores in return for a transaction?"

Lin Heng said to him with a smile.

"That's right."

Shen Zu smiled.

Lin Heng led the Heart-Eating Demon Wolf into the magic array range of Shenzu Mine, thus achieving his goal.

The same applies.

Guided by Shen Zu, they arrived at the site where the star had fallen, thus achieving Lin Heng's goal...

"I don't mind a deal; everything is negotiable. However, I have a question that I hope Mr. Shen can answer."

"Oh?"

"When we were in the Oasis in the Clouds, Boss Shen also saw that I had dozens of fairy slaves."

Shen Zu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, a wealthy man like young friend Lin Heng certainly deserves so many celestial servants!"

Lin Heng pursed his lips and said slowly, "Since I have so many immortal slaves..."

After a pause, he looked at Shen Zu with a smile and said, "How do you know that the fairy slave who turned into the Heart-Eating Demon Wolf is the purple-clad fairy you saw in the City Lord's Mansion? I remember I never mentioned this."

Shen Zu was taken aback.

"Unless, you know very well how she became a monster."

"..."

In an instant, Shen Zu's expression turned gloomy. "Young friend Lin Heng, so you... you've been playing dumb with me all along?"
