Fairy Eye

When, when, when!

Han Lin, who was still cultivating, was awakened by a bell.

He withdrew his Dharma Realm, opened the stone house door, and looked outside. He saw figures emerging from various stone houses and converging towards the square.

"Why are you ringing the bell? Is something special happening?"

Han Lin knew that this was the assembly bell, which would not ring unless there was something special.

So I quickly tidied myself up and headed towards the square.

"Han Lin, wait for me!"

Just then, a short, chubby boy caught up from behind.

"Han Lin, you're quite diligent in your cultivation, aren't you? Yesterday evening I came to call you for dinner, but you ignored me!"

"evening?"

Han Lin thought for a moment: "I felt really dizzy while I was cultivating yesterday, so I took a nap. I probably didn't hear that."

"Oh, I see. I thought you were hiding away to cultivate."

"Hmm. And you, have you awakened your divine consciousness?"

"Awakened? That's easy, I awakened successfully in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Yue Qingshan curled his lip, unconvinced.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?

Han Lin was greatly surprised.

You should know that, including the time spent meditating in the Tongtian Dharma Realm, it took me more than thirty hours to finally awaken.

This guy is way too fast.

However, this makes sense, since Yue Qingshan has a three-elemental talent, which is completely different from his trashy nine-elemental talent.

As the two were talking, they had already reached the edge of the square.

At this moment, a large crowd was gathered in the square. Deacon Liu Zhihu stood quietly at the entrance of the stone house on the north side, watching the crowd.

He only spoke slowly when almost everyone had arrived.

"I've gathered everyone here today to announce two things."

"The first thing is that two new people arrived at our Qinglonghe Mine yesterday."

As he spoke, he looked in Han Lin's direction and said, "Please, both of you, come up and introduce yourselves."

Han Lin was taken aback, not expecting this turn of events. Seeing everyone looking at him, he felt even more pressured.

He forced himself to step forward and stammered, "H-Hello everyone, my name is, my name is Han Lin..."

"Hahaha, this guy is not only ugly, but he also stutters!"

"Exactly, I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking, hiring even such an ugly monster."

"Yes, they've utterly disgraced our Guiyuan Sect!"

Before Han Lin could finish speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Hearing the laughter, Han Lin felt much calmer.

He had always held a deep sense of awe for the "immortals" of the Guiyuan Sect! He felt that they must be a group of people of noble character and extraordinary strength, and would not regard him as an outsider.

But now it seems that these people are no different from ordinary people, so the respect in my heart has naturally disappeared.

On the contrary, I felt a bit disgusted.

When his mindset changed, Han Lin naturally stopped feeling nervous.

He looked at Liu Zhihu.

Liu Zhihu frowned and said calmly, "Go down."

"Yes." Han Lin clasped his hands slightly and walked down the stone steps. When someone saw him coming, they immediately moved away from him, leaving him all alone to the side.

Then it was Yue Qingshan's turn.

Despite being from a farming family and not very old, Yue Qingshan speaks with no stage fright whatsoever.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, after he finished speaking, many people applauded, a stark contrast to the earlier mockery of Han Lin.

"alright."

"Now, let's talk about the second thing," Liu Zhihu said loudly after Yue Qingshan stepped down.

"Ten days from now, a senior from a sect will be giving a lecture at Qinglong River. Those who are interested can register with me before the lecture begins. The fee is 300 points."

"What! Three hundred points? Does that mean the sect leader will personally teach us? That's ridiculously expensive!"

"Yes, people like us wouldn't understand even if the sect leader gave a lecture."

"Three hundred points? A measly one hundred points! I reckon the actual registration fee is at most one hundred points; the rest was pocketed by this Liu the Tiger."

"Who the hell is gossiping? Step forward!"

As the crowd below continued to spout increasingly outrageous nonsense, Liu Zhihu was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. He channeled his inner energy and roared loudly.

Everyone felt a buzzing in their heads and immediately shut their mouths tightly, no longer daring to speak.

"You've gone too far!"

Liu Zhihu, his face grim, swept his gaze over the crowd: "From now on, you all better watch yourselves!"

"Anyone who can't control their mouth, I'll sew it shut for free!"

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

After saying that, he stormed back to the stone house.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the relief spread outwards like a tide.

"Yue Qingshan, shall we go get breakfast?" Han Lin asked Yue Qingshan as he walked over.

"Go ahead, I have other things to do." Yue Qingshan glanced at Han Lin and left.

Han Lin didn't think much of it and went to the cafeteria alone.

In Qinglonghe, breakfast is always free, even if you don't work. It's just not plentiful; it's just steamed buns, bread, and thin porridge to fill your stomach.

Nevertheless, Han Lin still managed to have a hearty meal.

Back home, his parents never treated him like this; he often went hungry.

As I was eating, I turned my gaze and saw Yue Qingshan also walk into the cafeteria, take a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and look around for a seat.

Han Lin was sitting alone at a table and was about to greet them when Yue Qingshan glanced at him and then went straight to another table.

There were already three people at the table. Seeing Yue Qingshan sit down, one of them glanced at Han Lin and asked, "Little Fatty, weren't you with that guy?"

"Senior brother, you've misunderstood. I just came to Guiyuan Sect with him; we don't have any real relationship."

Yue Qingshan had a smile on his face, and although his voice wasn't loud, Han Lin heard it.

He glanced in Yue Qingshan's direction, said nothing, buried his head and finished the porridge in his bowl, then got up and left the canteen.

Then I went to the tool shed, got a hoe and a basket, and walked out of the camp.

Outside the campsite lies the famous Qinglong River, where the morning mist shrouds the river, and a stone bridge spans the two banks.

Han Lin walked across the stone bridge and saw an enormous cave entrance at the foot of the mountain ahead.

Someone is walking in; this should be the mine entrance that Liu Zhihu mentioned.

Han Lin paused slightly and followed him inside.

The cave passage was quite spacious, and every so often, a white stone would appear overhead, its radiant light preventing the passage from being too dark.

However, both sides were solid rock walls, making it impossible to mine, so Han Lin could only continue to go deeper.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, some side roads finally appeared on both sides of the main road.

Han Lin thought for a moment and then went into a side path on the right.

The situation inside was similar to that outside, with rock walls on both sides, making mining impossible, and a stone wall blocking the way at the end.

It appears to be an abandoned mine tunnel that has been mined and cannot be further excavated.

Han Lin had no choice but to back out and continue along the main road.

After walking for a while, I finally saw a small area on the wall next to me. It wasn't a stone wall, but rather a relatively soft weathered rock.

His eyes lit up, and he was about to start digging.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and a large group of people walked in.

The leader was a boy of sixteen or seventeen, dressed in fine clothes and wearing a jade crown.

The others followed the boy like followers, and Yue Qingshan was among them.

"Ugly duckling, you won't find anything here!"

"My name is Zhao Ruiling. How about you join me? I guarantee you'll make something of yourself every day."

The boy in purple walked towards Han Lin with a grin.
