Xu Lian began to wonder in his heart, only the Mining Inspector could get the spiritual specialty of Stone Town next door, Stone Marrow. If he asked the Mining Inspector directly, would the Inspector give it to him
Maybe he would give it to him. After all, he had already given the purple jade card, so it was not impossible for him to give him the stone marrow.
However, if he took the initiative to ask for things, would it cause resentment from the mining inspector
This is also an issue that must be considered.
The mine inspector promoted him to be the manager of the new mine and gave him a purple jade plate for emergency use, which showed that he had made a good impression on the mine inspector. If he took the initiative to ask for the stone marrow and destroyed this good impression, it would be a loss.
"It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. I'd better find a solution myself and try not to trouble the mine patrol."
After careful consideration, he made a decision in his heart.
Han Du certainly didn't know what he was thinking, and warned him, "Brother Xu, I'll only tell you about the world outside this town, don't tell anyone, or you'll cause us some trouble."
"Don't worry, Han, I'm not a big mouth."
Xu Lian smiled and nodded in agreement.
He asked Han Du, "Brother Han went to Stone Town once when he was young. I wonder how he got there?"
Han Du seemed to have guessed his intention, "You don't want to go to Stone Town to get the stone marrow yourself, do you?"
Xu Lian said seriously, "I can't bother the Mine Patrolman with everything. If I bother him too many times, he will think I'm incompetent, so I want to do it myself."
Han Du said, "When I went there, I followed my brother-in-law."
Brother-in-law
Xu Lian had heard that Han Du had some nepotism with the current mayor, "Mr. Mayor?"
Han Du nodded and sighed, "Back then, my sister was pretty and married to the mayor as his concubine. She was quite favored and the mayor took good care of me. As my sister got older, she gradually fell out of favor and the mayor stopped caring about me."
So realistic... Xu Lian understood, "So you just went along for fun when the mayor was on a business trip?"
Han Du said, "That's right. Although the road from Green Bamboo Town to Stone Town is not very far, the mountain road is difficult to walk on. We definitely cannot reach Stone Town in one day. We must spend the night in the wild. We cannot avoid encountering night watchmen. Ordinary people will definitely die and cannot reach Stone Town at all.
The mayor wore the jade identity card issued by the above, so he was not afraid of encountering the night watchman. He was able to take me through a night in the wild and successfully arrive at Stone Town.
If Brother Xu wants to go to Stone Town, he must hold the jade token given above, and it must be a blue or higher level jade token to make the night watchman give way."
As for the color grades of jade tokens, Xu Lian heard from the swordsman captain Lu Kan that they are divided into nine levels: green, cyan, blue, red, black, white, purple, silver and gold.
The purple jade badge on him was of a much higher level than the blue one. It could make the night watchmen retreat, so he could spend the night in the wild without any problem. He could easily reach Stone Town.
"Once we are in Stone Town, how do we get the Stone Marrow?"
Xu Lian did not ask about this question, and Han Du did not answer it either. They both understood each other tacitly and would never talk about it.
Only the mines in Stone Town can contain stone marrow. There is no other way except stealing or robbing... This definitely violates the rules of Stone Town.
If Xu Lian was caught, he would have to bear the consequences himself, so he did not ask Han Du. Han Du could not give him any advice on how to steal or rob, so as to avoid being implicated.
He knew that by telling him this, Handu was already doing him a favor.
It was noon.
Xu Lian had lunch at Handu’s mine and then said goodbye and left.
“Going to the mine in Stone Town to steal the stone marrow is definitely risky, but the stone marrow is the raw material for me to advance to the marrow refining stage. Without the stone marrow, my rank will be stuck in the bone refining stage forever. Even if there is a risk, I have to go.
To be on the safe side, I have to wait for a while before going to Stone Town. At least I have to wait until the Mining Patrol guides me into the Yi Religion. With my identity as a member of the Yi Religion, I have an extra layer of insurance."
Return to the mine.
After a quick inspection, he returned to the stone house to drink tea and wait for the end of work.
"The job of a mine manager is so boring..."
If others knew Xu Lian's idea, they would definitely curse, "You damn thing, you don't have to do anything every day, but you can get a monthly salary of twenty taels, and there are all kinds of 'extra' income from the mine. If you like a girl from a certain family, you can get her with just one word. Come on, come on, let's switch positions. I'll be the manager and you do the work!"
The days go by.
Xu Lian slacked off in the mine during the day and only worked hard when he returned home at night.
Occasionally, I would go to Lichunfang to find Chuntao and see how she was doing in learning singing and dancing. As I watched her, I couldn't help but carry her into the house. She really had the potential to become an oiran, so tempting.
He also paid a return visit to Pei's house, saying that he wanted to thank Pei Heng for the tiger bone and tiger penis wine he sent. In fact, he just gave Pei Zhaoxi, the hottie, a look without showing any emotion.
Pei Zhaoxi had a cold face, turned his head away and ignored him.
However, the next day, Pei Zhaoxi came to the stone house in the mine wearing a cloak... allowing Xu Lian to taste the spicy taste again.
What surprised Xu Lian was that he couldn't find out how much Pei Zhaoxi liked him.
"Could it be that Pei Zhaoxi's favorability towards me is too low and has not reached a certain standard, so it cannot be checked?"
Xu Lian could only guess this way. After all, his relationship with Pei Zhaoxi was not consensual at the beginning, so there was no goodwill to speak of.
Just like this, more than ten days passed.
"It should be about time. We can tell the mine patrol officer that I have reached the bone refining stage."
Xu Lian took out the purple jade tablet and focused his thoughts on it as the mining inspector had said.
Silently, the purple jade plate glowed.
"What's up?"
The clear, girlish voice of the mine patroller was heard.
This is the voice of a vixen. If she were to transform, would she become a young girl
Xu Lian didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said, "I have something to report. The mine inspector said that when I reach the bone refining stage, he will take me into the Yi Sect. Just now... I broke through to the bone refining stage."
The purple jade card was silent for a moment, and then the white fox's voice came out, "I'll come over later."
Xu Lian began to wait.
Not long.
A white shadow appeared in the bushes and jumped into the house from the windowsill. It was the White Fox Mine Patrolman.
Its smart eyes stared at Xu Lian, "Judging from the blood and bones in your body, you have indeed reached the bone refining stage."
Xu Lian felt a chill all over his body. It turned out that his little bit of Taoism could not be hidden in front of the practitioners with higher cultivation.
"You have great talent. It has only been half a month since you last reached the tendon refining stage, and you have already broken through to the bone refining stage. Your cultivation speed is not slower than some of the geniuses in our Yi Sect."
The words of the White Fox Mine Patrol made Xu Lian's heart tremble. His decision was right. Fortunately, he did not tell the White Fox Mine Patrol ten days ago, as that would have been too shocking.
Even the genius of the Yi religion is not so fast, is that reasonable
"Come with me, and I will guide you into the Yi religion."
The white fox turned around and jumped out of the window.
In order to avoid being seen, Xu Lian had to leave the mine through the window.
