Beauty and the Bodyguard

Each tunnel entrance was guarded by experts, marked with numbers one to ten. Needless to say, these ten tunnels led to their respective Kuangqu. Only after showing the corresponding passage token were they allowed to enter.

Meng jueguang led Meng Tong and Li Zhengming into tunnel No. 7, while the other new disciples entered tunnel No. 8. As for Lin Yi, he entered tunnel No. 10 with his miserable senior brother.

"Brother ku, don't you need a special pass to come in?" Lin Yi turned to look at the guy, surprised. When he had entered, he had clearly seen that his miserable senior brother had only shown the guard his Jade token as the welcoming new pavilion's steward. On the other side, Meng jueguang had also done the same.

"That's right. The identity token of the welcoming new pavilion's manager is still valid here. However, because I'm from the GreenCloud Pavilion, I can only enter and exit the 7th, 8th and 9th Kuangqu. Of course, the 10th mining area is a public mining area, so I can also enter and exit as I please. " The miserable senior brother nodded.

After a pause, he immediately complained,""Junior Brother Lin, you really shouldn't have signed the contract just now. I've tried Kuangqu 10 before, and I couldn't find any good Jade. However, since things have already come to this, I can't do anything about it. I'll take you to a few places where I've dug out spirit Jade. Although I've only been able to dig out some useless Jade, it's still better than you blindly doing useless work like a headless fly. "

"Then I'll have to thank senior brother ku." Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Although he was already in the early stage of the foundation building realm and didn't have the pressure of time like other new people, three months wasn't a short time. If he really couldn't dig out anything, it would be a pure waste of time. However, it was enough to dig out the useless Jade.

The tunnel was long and winding. According to the miserable senior brother, the 10th Kuangqu was already at the edge of the tunnel. The two of them walked for more than an hour before they reached their destination.

Along the way, although they occasionally saw a few people, they could be counted with one's fingers. Even when they arrived at the real mining site, there were only two or three people in the large mining area, two of which were even uniformed guards. The name of the tenth dead mining area was indeed well-deserved.

The two bored guards looked at each other when they saw Lin Yi and Lin Yi.""Heh, another two unlucky fellows."

Even the trash of the GreenCloud Pavilion was unwilling to come to this Kuangqu. Those who were assigned to this place must be the unlucky ones who had offended the higher-ups. As the guards of this place, they were already used to such things.

The bitter guy's face turned black. He was actually being treated as an unlucky fellow by the guard! Previously, Meng jueguang had seemed to be very happy with himself, having acquaintances wherever he went. On the other hand, he was suffering. That was ... Truly a living hell!

"I'm the senior martial brother in charge of the GreenCloud Pavilion's welcoming new pavilion, and I'm here to send disciples to the Kuangqu area to mine!" The senior brother said.

"Bitter happiness?" The two guards were obviously stunned,"I've never heard of you. You're the senior Steward?" Wasn't the steward senior brother Meng Jue Guang and ku bi? Where's the joy?"

"Um ... I'm bitter. Bitter is my nickname, and bitter joy is my original name ..." The bitter senior brother explained with a bitter smile.

"D * MN, wouldn't it have been fine if I had told you earlier that you were suffering?" The guard nodded, then waved his hand, indicating that the poor man could go in.

The poor guy nodded to the two guards and brought Lin Yi to the mine he was familiar with.

However, he had only taken two steps when he heard the two guards talking behind him.

"So he's the bitter one. After seeing him today, he's indeed a bitter one!"

"That's right, but I think that the one beside him is the real loser. He followed the wrong person. If he had followed Meng jueguang, how could he have come here?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about that. In fact, aren't we the same? If I didn't offend Dai Wuchang, a powerful figure in the spirit Jade Hall, how could I have been sent here?"

Lin Yi heard the conversation as well-the guy's name was bitter joy, but it was clear that he'd accepted the name himself, so no one recognized him during the registration.

The two walked into the Kuangqu put down the named baskets they'd gotten at the entrance. They took out the shovels and forced their senior to demonstrate to Lin Yi himself, giving him some tips and tricks for mining.

It was worth mentioning that in order to prevent the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritual Jade from being damaged during mining, the shovel used for mining was made of Jade. However, it was similar to other iron shovels in that it was hard, sharp, and very practical. Not only could it easily cut through soil, it could even pierce through hard rocks. Lin Yi even thought that this thing could be used as a weapon.

After getting the hang of what the guy taught him, Lin Yi quickly got to it-it wasn't a complicated thing, after all, and he'd still have to use his strength. With Lin Yi's strength at the early Foundation Stage, this amount of physical work was nothing to him. He wouldn't feel tired at all even if he worked non-stop for an entire day.

This was the tenth Kuangqu, and the Jade drop rate was extremely low, but Lin Yi's current location had his poor senior's experience, after all. His luck wasn't bad either, and he managed to get his first spiritual Jade after a while.

After wiping away the soil on the surface with a cloth, the pure white jade quickly bloomed with brilliance. It looked exactly the same as the spiritual Jade in his hand. However, after carefully sensing the spiritual energy in it, he found that it was very thin, with a concentration of less than one percent. It was a typical piece of waste Jade.

"It's not bad. If we save up enough of this useless Jade, we can exchange it for good Jade." The miserable senior brother consoled him.

Lin Yi nodded, and one of the two guards walked over with a scale. He weighed the Jade and wrote down the number before throwing it back into the basket and leaving.

"What is he doing?" Lin Yi asked, confused.

"This is the same surveillance procedure for all Kuangqu. In order to prevent anyone from secretly hiding spiritual jades, every time someone excavates a spiritual Jade, the guards will weigh and record the number. When it's time to report, all the spiritual jades that you've excavated will be weighed again. If the number differs too much from the number provided by the guards, especially if it's much less, you'll be isolated for investigation." The senior brother explained.

Lin Yi couldn't help but click his tongue. They already had to conduct a strict body search to enter and exit the mine, but he didn't expect there to be this kind of monitoring process. Other things aside, the spirit Jade Hall really did a perfect job in preventing people from stealing spirit Jade. (To be continued.)
