The Tale of Breaking Free to Cultivate Immortality

After figuring out the whole story, Li Ruoyu did not hold Lin An accountable.

If he punished these people now, it would only make his situation more embarrassing.

It would be better to wait and see. Li Ruoyu only needed to follow the rules for guarding the mine. I think those two guys would definitely come to him on their own initiative.

Then Li Ruoyu really asked Lin An to take him around for a tour.

The western mining area is connected to several mountains, and the area is about fifty miles in radius.

With Li Ruoyu's current spiritual power, he can barely cover eight or nine out of ten of the land, and he can only control a small part of it in detail.

According to his duties, he should rotate once a year like the other two to carry out security patrols.

Of course, if there is really an enemy situation, all the guest officials, elders, deacons, and even those low-level disciples guarding this place must become combat forces.

The sect spends a high amount of merit points to support you. When the critical moment comes, you must contribute, otherwise you will be severely punished.

The sect will give merit points at a price 50% higher than the market price for the mining income, and the merit points can be exchanged for various resources in the sect.

Although Qinglan Sect seems to have spent a high price, it actually saves the cost of mining, and can also train the mentality and endurance of low-level disciples, killing two birds with one stone.

After all, compared with those casual cultivators who are always facing various death crises, mining is a bit tiring, but at least it is not that dangerous.

If the two did not come to see Li Ruoyu, he would not have to shamelessly look for them.

Anyway, this time it was still Elder Zhang who was in charge of the inspection, and it would take about half a year before Li Ruoyu took over, so he could practice with peace of mind.

On the other side.

Two figures gathered, and one of them politely made tea for the other.

"Elder Liu, what do you think of this newcomer?" After making the tea, this person actually spoke with a little flattery.

As elders and guests, in Qinglan Sect, except for the four chief elders, the status of other elders and guests is nominally equal.

So although Li Ruoyu is a guest, Lin An did not dare to call him guest when he called him, but used the more respectful word elder.

"Sun Chen, you have been in charge of this place for more than 20 years. In a few years, you will not have the opportunity to choose to continue to be in charge. You can only return to the sect and wait for arrangements." The man who had been sitting leisurely spoke.

This elder Liu is naturally another elder Liu Yao.

In theory, the two are of the same level, but Sun Chen is only in the early stage of Jindan, and he is a guest who changed his career halfway.

Liu Yao is a real Qinglan Sect, and his cultivation is even in the middle stage of Jindan! He is considered the strongest person in charge of this mining area.

And most importantly, this person has a genius brother, who is said to be a genius master of seven-line Jindan, and he may not have no chance to reach the height of the current sect master in the future.

So Liu Yao can always squat in the western mining area and do whatever he wants.

Since he was promoted to Jindan, he has been here for seventy or eighty years.

You should know that it is rare for a guest official or an elder to stay in the same position for so long, especially for a lucrative position like the Western Mining Area.

With the big brother behind him, no one would dare to say anything about Liu Yao's behavior.

After all, no one wants to offend the future leader of the sect, or at least a future supreme elder.

However, this time, Liu Yao was extremely angry. He originally wanted to arrange a "junior brother" to fill the vacancy left by Zhang and Wang.

But when he knew that a newcomer named Li Ruoyu was temporarily replaced, Liu Yao was angry.

Where has Liu Yao been so angry in these years? If he arranged his own people to come, wouldn't he have the final say in the Western Mining Area?

Especially in the past few days, he ordered people to find out the situation, wanting to see why this guy could come out halfway and intercept his own business.

As a result, after so many days, he didn't find out anything.

Maybe when scheduling, the task was wrong? Liu Yao thought so.

However, he was determined to be cautious. What if it was really sent by some big shot of the sect to patrol secretly... That would be a big problem.

"Elder Liu, Sun has been following you and working hard. You have to find a way to keep Sun here and keep him under your command." Sun Chen wanted to find out the situation, but who knew that this elder Liu actually asked him a question.

Elder Liu's abnormal behavior last time made Sun Chen very uneasy.

Is he trying to abandon me and make a fortune alone by asking me today?

"Then during this period of time, try to find out where that guy came from. If you can't figure it out, don't come to see me again." Liu Yao said in a deep voice.

"Elder Liu, don't worry, I'll leave this to Sun." Sun Chen patted his chest loudly. Newcomer, I'll make you look good.

...

After three months in the western mining area, Li Ruoyu went out for a stroll three times, and went out for a patrol every month. As a newcomer, he still had to pretend.

The rest of the time, he was either meditating and practicing, or comprehending the Taixuan Sword Scripture.

Although there was a hundred years of buffer time, Li Ruoyu was not completely unhurried. He had to at least reach the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years, and at least be able to escape from the hands of a late Nascent Soul master.

Anyway, the worst known death was when a late Nascent Soul master was wiped out by the Yinhun Sect. If he could do that, at least he would not die so easily.

Of course, the suppression of the Taixuan Sword Soul on the strange face gave Li Ruoyu another idea, which was to comprehend and master it as soon as possible.

Maybe I can use the Taixuan Sword Soul to break the entanglement of the bloodthirsty devil seal without reaching the realm of distraction.

This day was the fourth time Li Ruoyu went out. He planned to spend two or three hours to patrol the edge of the mining area.

Who knew that as soon as he went out, he found a figure with a strong aura stopping him. A Jindan realm expert? Jindan early stage, it was the guest named Sun Chen.

"Elder Sun?" Li Ruoyu clasped his fists and saluted from a distance. "Li has been in the mining area for several months, and I have never seen Elder Sun. I heard that Elder Sun has been busy at the bottom of the mine. It's really hard work."

I heard bullshit. When did I go down to the mine? Who dares to gossip about me?

You are a newcomer, and you put a big hat on yourself right away.

"I was really busy some time ago, and I haven't been able to take time to welcome Elder Li." Sun Chen looked like he was in his forties or fifties, and his smile was a bit flattering.

"I just wanted to visit Elder Li today, but I didn't expect to meet him by chance." Sun Chen said again.

"That's really a coincidence. I just want to take a look around the mining area. Those people below are not careful. Why don't you take me to have a look?" Li Ruoyu sneered in his heart, but he made an invitation.

"Elder Li has such a refined taste and is so concerned about the affairs of the sect. How can Sun Chen not follow his advice?" Sun Chen took off directly and prepared to take Li Ruoyu around for a tour.
