"Let's get up early and come back late every day. In this way, there will be a few days at the beginning that we can't finish, but as time goes by, we will definitely be able to get back." Yang Qing tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, pondered for a while, and expressed his thoughts. "Oh my God.

The darkness is a bit eye-catching, but the homework is not something to be done carefully, so it won’t have much impact.”

"No matter how late we work, we can only work until Haishi. If we work too late, mining will be prohibited, which will affect other people's rest." Tian Bo shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Let's get up at 9 o'clock and come back at 1 o'clock. Excluding the time for eating, we have nearly eight hours. Although our physical strength will decrease over time and the mining speed will decrease, we can almost complete it." Yang Qing counted on his fingers.

, the voice is suppressed but has a hint of relaxation.

As long as it is not completed in less than ten days within this month, the matter is considered over, and any shortcomings will be made up for later.

"Yang Qing, you are almost there. You are so powerful every day. Tian Bo and I can't finish it unless we don't sleep," Lu Zhen complained.

It takes Lu Zhen and Tian Bo about five and a half hours to complete a day alone, and Yang Qing takes about four hours.

This is when you have plenty of physical strength. As your physical strength disappears, the mining speed will become slower and slower. Cold iron ore is very hard. Even if you are not strong enough, it can't be broken open with hundreds of hammers.

"The man who is in the same stone house as me can help me a little. If I do what Yang Qing said, it should be about the same." Tian Bo said in a nagging voice. He would not give up until the last moment.

.

"You both have a solution, it's just me." Lu Zhen didn't think of a solution, with a bitter look on his face, a little frustrated.

"Lu Zhen, don't give up. We all managed to get into Yufeng Sect. Let's think of a way." Yang Qing knew that Lu Zhen saw him being beaten, so he rushed forward. Lu Zhen had no choice but to do so, and he was also anxious.

"Lu Zhen, it was me who harmed you. Otherwise, if I didn't do it, I would finish it for you." Tian Bo felt even more regretful and planned to give up on his own and help Lu Zhen do it.

"Pull him down, then I won't have a good life in the rest of my life." Lu Zhen shook his head in denial, refusing to do so, and said weakly.

"There's no need for this. Let's find someone to help you finish the one thousand kilograms. Then we'll pay him back two thousand kilograms. Let's spend this time first." Yang Qing was anxious and suddenly came up with such a way.

This could be regarded as the best solution the three of them had come up with. Without further ado, the three of them hurriedly left the stone house to find help elsewhere. The only people they were relatively familiar with were these young men who came with them.

After a lot of work, two people were willing to help them do one thousand kilograms of homework every day. After a month, they had to pay back two thousand kilograms.

When other people heard about this matter, some were not interested, while others did not want to offend Zhou Tenghai in a daze.

The strong young man who lived in the same room as Tian Bo promised to help Tian Bo after completing his homework.

At nine o'clock, the sky had just brightened up, and only a few rays of red light appeared. The entire Dongju Mountains were still pitch black.

Yang Qing, Lu Zhen, and Tian Bo have all appeared in the mining area of ​​Hantie Mine. They are first looking for Hantie raw ore that can be moved in the mining area.

There was no ore stockpiled in advance in the mining area, so even three people could not move it. There were very few suitable ores in other places, and they had all been moved by other disciples.

I didn't find a few pieces, so I could only use a sledgehammer to smash up the cold iron ore. The sound of "clang, bang" kept ringing, echoing repeatedly in this empty place. Fortunately, the walls of the stone house were thick, so I didn't wake up from my deep sleep.

people.

The three of them didn't want to waste the lunch time, so they hurriedly ate the food, and then immediately returned to the mining area to continue mining cold iron ore.

When Zhou Tenghai mined cold iron ore again, he chose to sit next to the three of them and looked at them with a half-smile while mining.

In more than four hours, Zhou Tenghai completed twice as much homework, which was faster than many new boys completing two thousand kilograms of ore.

Yang Qing and the other three were itching to watch, but they had no choice but to avoid causing trouble again until they had no choice.

Yang Qing and the others only handed over about two thousand kilograms of cold iron ore tonight, because when Akasuma came to pick up the four-wheeled cart, none of them had completed twice the amount.

If you don't pay enough, it's better not to pay. As long as it doesn't last ten days, you won't be expelled from Yufeng Sect.

"Remember, as long as you can't finish it within ten days, you will pack your things and leave here without any negotiation." Zhou Tenghai looked very unhappy when he saw that the three of them had only handed over two thousand kilograms of ore. He dropped these words indifferently and turned around to leave.

Dinner was still eaten in a hurry. The strong young man and the other two disciples rested for a while and then went to the mining area to help them mine raw ore.

The strong young man's name is Qi Xiaohu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his strength is no less than that of Yang Qing. He is here to help Tian Bo, and the other two are helping Lu Zhen. After all, Lu Zhen is the slowest in mining among the three of them.

.

Qi Xiaohu and the others had rested, and the mining speed was no slower than during the day. The speed of Yang Qing and the others had dropped a lot, their physical strength was almost exhausted, their strength had dropped, and they were no longer able to control the direction of the falling weight accurately.

Especially for Yang Qing, the injury to his left forearm prevented him from exerting any strength. At the end of the day, he felt that the injury was getting worse.

"Tian Bo, why don't you take a break? If you keep going like this, you'll hit me on the foot sooner or later." Qi Xiaohu was in good spirits. Seeing Tian Bo's tired look, he couldn't help joking.

The ethereal sound of the guzheng sounded leisurely, indicating that Haishi had arrived and mining was strictly prohibited.

Up to this moment, excluding the amount of mining for the day, none of the three people had collected two thousand kilograms, but they were not far behind.

Yang Qing was the one who missed the most. If there was no rule prohibiting mining of ores after Haishi, he would have been able to complete it in another one and a half to two hours.

In other words, it would take Yang Qing more than nine and a half hours to mine about four thousand kilograms of ore. By Haishi, Yang Qing no longer had the strength to swing the long hammer.

Qi Xiaohu and the other two teenagers had already gone back to rest. Just as Tian Bo was about to go back, he was stopped by Yang Qing.

"Tian Bo, don't be too busy going back. Practice the "Sixteen Innate Movements" for a while before going to bed, otherwise you won't even start tomorrow morning."

Tian Borei lost the energy to speak. Seeing that Yang Qing didn't seem to be joking, out of trust in Yang Qing, he began to practice doubtfully.

Yang Qing, Lu Zhen, and Tian Bo came to the open space, leaving a proper distance between each other so as not to affect each other, and then started practicing the "Sixteen Innate Postures".

After nearly eight hours of mining cold iron ore, my body was extremely exhausted. When I practiced the "Sixteen Innate Forms" under such conditions, my muscles were in great pain every time I pulled or pressed them.

After several exercises, I was covered in sweat. The sweat I shed now was even more than when I was mining.

"Yang Qing, why is my body so sore and itchy?" Lu Zhen scratched his body with his hands, but he felt itchy everywhere on his body. His two hands were simply not enough, and he looked surprised.

Tian Bo also looked at Yang Qing doubtfully and asked. He had been practicing "Sixteen Innate Styles" for a month, and this was the first time he encountered this situation.

"I don't know either. I always feel like this when I'm tired and practice." Yang Qing has long been used to the itchiness in various parts of his body. Compared with usual times, it is more itchy today. He wipes the sweat from his face, shakes his head and grins.

.

"Would this be harmful to the body? We'd better stop practicing. Maybe we're too tired and can't practice now." Lu Zhen hesitated, grabbing around like a monkey, and began to retreat.

"You should be fine. Don't you feel that you are not so tired?" The tiredness on Yang Qing's face became lighter, and he became more energetic when speaking, with a steady voice.

"Yes, when you said it, I realized that I have recovered a lot of strength. My muscles are not very sore anymore, but I am still very sleepy." Tian Bo said in surprise, clenched his fists hard, and let out a long yawn.

.

"It's really weird. The practice of "Sixteen Innate Forms" should consume physical strength. How can you replenish your physical strength while practicing?" Lu Zhen was very curious and puzzled.

"Don't worry so much, hurry up and practice. Tomorrow will be like today." Yang Qing gritted his teeth, stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and started practicing again. Now there are less than four hours before Mao hour, and there is not much time to waste.

The bright moonlight shone on the open space, and in the moonlight there was a young man practicing each move, sweat dripping from his hair to the ground, and he didn't notice it at all.

It's now midnight, and Lu Sanada and Hiroshi have gone back to sleep. Their physical strength has almost recovered, so they go back to sleep to replenish their spirits.

Yang Qing is still practicing, not because he doesn't want to sleep, but because he consumes more physical energy and it takes longer to recover.

"Huh..." After finishing the last move of "Sixteen Xiantian Postures", Yang Qing stood up with his posture closed and exhaled a long breath.

Now he has full physical strength, and even feels that the bone pain in his left arm has lessened, especially the strength of his left arm has increased significantly. However, the tiredness on his face has not disappeared. Practicing "Sixteen Innate Styles" cannot replace sleep, and Yang Qing is very sleepy.

, the eyelids wanted to close uncontrollably, and they stretched their foreheads to force them open.

He went back and lay on the bed. This time he did not practice the "Hua Xi Jue". "I will definitely practice the "Hua Xi Jue" tomorrow." As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep and had no dreams all night.

The days in the Han Iron Mining Area were very ordinary. As usual, there were no blind-eyed beasts and monsters rushing up the mountain, and there were no fights or fights to cause trouble. However, when it was completely dark, there were still six teenagers mining in the mining area.

ore.

Seven days have passed since the homework of Yang Qing and the others doubled. Starting from the second day, Qi Xiaohu's three teenagers also arrived earlier than usual. In these seven days, except for the first day, they failed to turn in double the ore, and the remaining six days

The day is complete.

If this continues, by the time the punishment is over, there will only be four days left unfinished, and they will not be expelled from the Yufeng Sect. The missing four days will be enough to make up for it.

This is without taking into account the increased mining speed of Yangqing and others.

There is a crescent moon hanging in the sky tonight. This crescent moon often hides in the clouds, making the mining area much darker than usual.

Yang Qing and other six teenagers, their eyes adjusted to the darkness, were smashing the ore hard.

"Oh mother, you scared me, what the hell is this?" Tian Bo was also smashing the ore when he suddenly yelled in a panic.

"What's wrong, Tian Bo?" Yang Qing's heart tightened and he asked urgently. When several people heard Tian Bo's cry, they all looked at Tian Bo, wondering what happened.

"It's okay, the pebbles I threw scared him, so I didn't hit him." Before Tian Bo could answer, Qi Xiaohu said with a smile. It was dark and he couldn't see their faces.

"As long as it's not hurt, it's okay. You have to be careful because you're just fooling around. You never know when you'll get hurt."

Yang Qing and others didn't pay attention, just treating it as a false alarm. After all, it was common to be hit by stones when mining, not to mention it was still at night.

The crescent moon disappeared and appeared, and a long time passed. The two young men who helped Lu Zhen had already left. They helped Lu Zhen mine about 500 kilograms of ore every day.

"Yang Qing, Lu Zhen, what do you think this is?" When Tian Bo and Qi Xiaohu saw the two teenagers leaving, they ran over, put their hands into their arms and said in a low voice.

Yang Qing and Lu Zhen didn't know what Tian Bo wanted to show them, so they came close to Tian Bo and stretched their heads to look curiously.

I saw Tian Bo taking his hand out of his arms and holding something in his hand. Looking at it under the moonlight, it was a palm-sized fragment of unknown material.;
