Chapter 9 The surname Ye

The medicinal power of 'Shengyuan Grass' is very strong. It took Tian Lin almost half an hour to digest just one leaf.

Boss Zhang had been staring at Tian Lin since he got ashore. He couldn't tell whether Tian Lin had succeeded in his cultivation, and he didn't believe that Tian Lin could cultivate Dantian Qi so quickly.

While he was waiting for Tian Lin, there were also some old miners watching and chatting nearby.

A man smoking a pipe stared at Tian Lin for a long while, then sneered and said, "You want to cultivate your inner strength like this? You must have heard too many stories about the underworld."

Someone immediately echoed the man and said, "Boss Ye, you don't know, I tried to persuade this kid yesterday. But this kid doesn't like boxing and kicking, and insists on learning internal skills from others."

"Who taught him? This is just like a blind man playing the violin. Isn't it nonsense?"

Everyone around looked at Boss Zhang, but no one said anything.

The smart people have figured out that Boss Ye is here for Zhang.

Boss Zhang smiled and was about to speak when Tian Lin, who was meditating on the ground, opened his eyes.

At this moment, the night watchman's sound was heard again, and a supervisor came towards this side holding a torch.

The miners did not dare to delay for fear of being whipped, so they picked up their clothes and trotted towards the wooden house.

"Who is this Boss Ye? He seems to be very familiar with the supervisor."

Tian Lin didn't pay attention to what was happening outside while he was meditating, but after opening his eyes, he felt that something was wrong.

I heard Boss Zhang say to him: "Where there are people, there is the underworld, and there are always people who stick together in the underworld. This Boss Ye is one of those people who stick together in the underworld to make a profit."

Tian Lin asked him, "Did we offend him?"

"It's not you who pissed him off, it's me. Have you forgotten the rules of the mine? The person who works the most every month can get a reward from Mr. Shang, and may even get to meet Mr. Shang."

Tian Lin suddenly realized that before Boss Zhang came into the mine, most of the "advanced individuals" in the mine were Boss Ye or Boss Ye's friends.

Boss Zhang is obviously not Boss Ye's close friend, and he may very well snatch away Boss Ye's title of 'Advanced Individual'.

"I'm afraid this Boss Ye is no match for you, Brother Zhang. If he was sure he could deal with Brother Zhang, he would have attacked directly."

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. He can't touch me, so how can he touch you?"

The two returned to the cabin, and the next day Boss Zhang's words came true.

During lunch, the two young men took Tian Lin to the back mountain.

When some miners on the back hill saw the two young men, they all hid far away.

Tian Lin noticed this and touched the gravel in his belt.

"You little brat, are you familiar with that big guy?"

At this time, Boss Ye was sitting on a big rock, puffing on his pipe.

"Not very familiar with him. I met him when we were both Hwahwarang."

Tian Lin spoke the truth, but his eyes were fixed on the pipe in Boss Ye's hand.

Boss Ye handed the pipe to Tian Lin and asked, "Would you like to take a puff?"

Tian Lin glanced at the yellow-white tartar on the cigarette holder, shook his head and said, "I don't smoke."

Tian Lin despised it, but the two young men who brought him here flattered Boss Ye and said, "Brother, I can smoke, can you give me a couple of puffs?"

Boss Ye kicked the young man and scolded him with a smile: "You want to suck everything? I'll give you a chicken chop to suck, do you want it?"

Despite the scolding, Boss Ye finally gave the pipe to the young man.

He turned his head and looked at Tian Lin and said, "Do you like smoking, drinking, or eating cakes?"

Tian Lin said directly: "Brother Ye, just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Boss Ye looked at Tian Lin approvingly, but did not directly state his purpose. Instead, he said:
"That Zhang guy is obviously trying to fool you by teaching you the Heart Technique. How can you learn the Heart Technique just by practicing hard?"

He stood up and suddenly stomped on the stone under his feet, then continued: "The mental method is a slow skill, and the fists and feet are the fast skills you need most right now."

There was a "crack" sound, and the stone under his feet was actually cracked by him.

Tian Lin opened his mouth in surprise, and Boss Ye was very satisfied with Tian Lin's expression.

He said, "Do you want to learn? I'll teach you, as long as you do me a favor."

"Brother Ye, can you tell me what's going on?"

Tian Lin had guessed it in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. Then he saw Boss Ye took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and said, "There are some knockout drugs in here. Find a way to put them into Zhang's bowl. Then I will teach you the skills and let you eat meat every month."

"it is good!"

Tian Lin agreed readily, picked up the small paper bag given by Boss Ye and left.

He went down the back mountain and opened the small paper package to take a look.

There was only a pool of powder in the small paper bag, but what caught Tian Lin's eyes was an extra hint: [Shengyuan Grass Powder: Pseudo-spiritual grass-level precious medicine powder. Eating it can increase internal strength for half a year. It is a treasure for people in the martial arts world. It can be eaten.]

Tian Lin took a quick look, put the small paper bag away, and then went back to work.

Last night’s training was very useful, but Tian Lin still had some difficulty carrying the stone.

He was not very good at using Dantian Qi, but even so, Tian Lin could carry the stone by himself without the help of Boss Zhang.

"Not bad, kid. It's only been a short time, but you've already gotten used to the weight of the stone!"

Boss Zhang did not doubt that Tian Lin had developed Dantian Qi because it went against common sense.

During lunch, Tian Lin said to Zhang Laoda: "The man surnamed Ye gave me a packet of paper and asked me to put it in your bowl."

Boss Zhang's smile did not fade. He patted Tian Lin's shoulder with his big hand and said, "I saw everything at noon, but I don't know what medicine he gave you."

"It's the Soul Burial Flower!"

"Haha, they really know how to use local materials."

Zhang Lao Da didn't take it seriously, so Tian Lin reminded him, "It's convenient for me to do the drugging. But without me, they would have many opportunities to poison." Zhang Lao Da nodded and said, "I will take care of this matter myself. It's rare that you are so loyal to me. I think you should stop practicing the internal skills and try your boxing skills instead."

It is always good to have many skills. Tian Lin would rather offend the Ye family than to lose the relationship with Boss Zhang. Firstly, the Ye family is mostly just making empty promises to deceive people.

Even if Mr. Ye would fulfill his promise, Tian Lin would still save Boss Zhang's life.

Because compared to learning some Kung Fu, Tian Lin wanted to cultivate immortality more.

He wanted to see how Boss Zhang planned his magic, maybe his fate as an immortal would fall on Boss Zhang.

In the evening, Boss Zhang began to teach Tian Lin boxing and kicking.

No one could avoid this scene. According to Tian Lin's idea, most people with the surname Ye hated him.

He did not feel any regret for offending Mr. Ye because of Boss Zhang. Instead, he worked even harder.

While Boss Zhang was taking a bath, Tian Lin was practicing boxing.

After returning to the wooden house, Tian Lin began to meditate again.

Seeing Tian Lin meditating seriously, everyone in the room laughed. Someone said, "It looks like a master is about to emerge from our family."

Tian Lin ignored the teasing of these people and sat in meditation until midnight before stopping.

He ate half a plant of 'Shengyuan Grass' today. According to the entry, this is equivalent to half a year's worth of cultivation?

Tian Lin still didn’t know how strong his skills had become after half a year, but he clearly felt that the Dantian Qi in his body had increased a lot.

The effect of Shengyuan grass is very strong, and Tian Lin has no complaints.

But the stronger the herbs of Shengyuan, the longer it would take him to digest them.

Apart from the time he spent mining during the day, he didn't have much time to sleep. If he spent it digesting the Holy Yuan Grass, he would only have about two hours of sleep that day.

"It would be great if I could stop working and just practice as much as I want."

Given the current situation, this idea is of course just a dream.

-

Compared to the first day they entered the mine, the new miners nowadays also know to get up early in the morning to grab porridge.

Most people can eat porridge in the afternoon and evening by counting with sticks every day, but a small number of people can only eat porridge at noon.

Therefore, almost all newlyweds rely on the bowl of porridge that they eat when they wake up to save their lives.

After Tian Lin finished his porridge, he put the bowl away and went to the mine carrying his backpack.

When Tian Lin saw that the person carrying the stone was a young man, his expression changed.

The young man grinned with his yellow teeth and said to Tian Lin with a smile: "Yesterday, Boss Ye invited you to smoke, but you refused. Today, Boss Ye invites you to carry stones. Let's see if you can do it."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a stone and put it in Tian Lin's backpack.

With the two stones and the debris, Tian Lin's backpack was instantly full.

You know, this is not an ordinary stone, it is the stone that Yaoyue Sect uses to refine weapons.

At this time, Tian Lin could hear the straps on his shoulders squeaking, as if they could not bear the weight of the stones and were about to break at any time.

"Boss Ye asked me to carry stones, so of course I have to carry them. I just don't know if you ate the chicken chop that Boss Ye invited you to eat yesterday."

Tian Lin turned around and looked at the young man. The young man's smile froze, and then he blushed and said angrily: "Damn it, you dare to scold me?"

He kicked Tian Lin as he spoke, but Tian Lin kicked him back unexpectedly.

If it weren't for the half plant of 'Shengyuan Grass' from yesterday, Tian Lin would never have been able to carry the stone and fight back with ease.

His kick contained internal force and directly broke the young man's leg bone.

The young man let out a scream and sat down on the rocks behind him.

Most of the rocks here were angular like spear heads. The young man screamed again and lay on his side on the ground.

This scene attracted many people present, and many of them looked towards Tian Lin.

"What's going on?"

A man in black came over with a dark face and whipped Tian Lin on the shoulder.

Tian Lin's body tilted slightly, and the basket on his back poured out towards the young man on the ground.

The straps of the backpack finally couldn't bear the weight of the huge rocks in the frame, and two big rocks hit the young man's head with a "bang".

The young man stopped shouting, just raised his fingers, and finally there was no movement at all.

"Damn it, why don't you carry the stone more steadily?"

The man in black had a gloomy look on his face. He whipped Tian Lin's hand again and said, "Why don't you throw this dead man to the back hill?"

After he said that, he raised the whip again. Fortunately, Boss Zhang had heard the noise and rushed over.

Tian Lin discovered that Zhang Lao Da's backpack was full to the brim, but he was still able to stroll over leisurely among the rocks with the bluestone on his back.

He grabbed the black-robed man's hand and said with a smile, "Overseer, save your energy. We will carry the dead body away right away."

The man in black took a look at Boss Zhang's backpack, and finally looked at the man named Ye who was not far away.

He glared at the man surnamed Ye and said, "I don't care what dirty things you do in private, but don't cause trouble when I'm on duty."

The man surnamed Ye didn't dare to speak. He waited until the man in black left before he walked over with a sullen face.

 A new month brings a new atmosphere. I wish everyone will read my books, collect them, and give me good reviews in the new month.

  No kidding, please keep reading. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read the latest chapters every day to help me get through the new book period.

  Thank you all.
