After the family of four had breakfast, Xu Lian rode his horse to the mine.
Although he did not sleep all night last night, he did not feel sleepy at all. The physique of the marrow refining stage had been reborn, and it was incomparable to ordinary people.
Just after he left, a white cat climbed over the wall into his house, and lay down beside the highest window of the uninhabited attic. The cat's eyes were closed for a while to rest, and then opened for a while to take a look, taking in the whole house at a glance.
After what happened last night, Xu Lian was reminded that he had to take the safety of the women in his family into consideration.
Now the whole Lvzhu Town knows that he is the manager of the new mine. His family has plenty of food and money and is very rich. But there are many hungry people outside. It is hard to guarantee that someone will not break into his house with bad intentions, so he has to be on guard.
Pu Lin is in charge of the mine, so Xu Lian doesn't need to go there every day. He went to the mine today not to manage it, but to find Handu to ask about the Qi Condensation Pill.
The Qi Condensing Pill is the raw material for his advancement to the Ming Jin stage, and this is the most important thing. In such a strange and chaotic world, improving his strength is always his top priority.
Arrived at the mine.
Xu Lian put his hands behind his back and began to inspect the mine.
This gesture was learned from Han Du, who liked to put his hands behind his back when inspecting the mines... Xu Lian thought this was very managerial, so he learned it and used it.
Seeing Xu Lian inspecting the mine, the miners hurriedly worked hard. Xu Lian had changed a lot during this period of time. His every move was noble and he had a calm aura. No one dared to treat him as a teenager anymore, and no one dared to cheat in front of him.
At the dock in Stone Town that night, Xiaomei spotted him in the crowd at first sight. It was also for this reason that Xu Lian was born with a good-looking appearance, and coupled with his demeanor, he stood out from the crowd and was truly outstanding.
Xu Lian made a brief inspection and then came to the granary. He asked Lu Kan to take the swordsmen to fight the bandits and capture them alive to complete the blood sacrifice at the mine.
The bandits we captured last time were killed two every few days, and they have been used up. The blood sacrifice cannot be delayed.
Although his white cat clone is a disciple of the Yi Sect and also the Inspector of Pingyang County, he has a good relationship with the white fox mining patrol officer. Even if he doesn't do the blood sacrifice, no one can do anything to him.
However, his apparent identity was just a minor manager of the mine, so it would be better for him to be honest and low-key, follow the procedures, and do his job well, so as to avoid being suspected by other members of the Yijiao sect.
Just like last time, Xu Lian offered generous conditions to Lu Kan and the swordsmen. If they were injured, they could receive food subsidies, and all the money and food obtained from beating the bandits would belong to the swordsmen. He didn't want any of it, but only wanted the bandits' bodies... alive.
The swordsmen were in high spirits and eager to try.
Only Lu Kan knew that Xu Lian was holding a purple jade token of a very high color level in his hand. Even without these favorable conditions, he could be mobilized with just one sentence.
He said nothing, obeyed the order, selected five swordsmen, and went to fight the bandits.
Xu Lian was too lazy to take care of trivial matters like this, so he rode his horse out of the mine and headed towards Handu's mine.
"Two days ago, I went to Brother Xu's mine and asked you to go to Lichunfang to listen to music, but I heard that Brother Xu hadn't been to the mine for two or three days."
Han Du looked at him strangely, guessing that Xu Lian had been to Stone Town. "How was it? Did it go well?"
Xu Lian did not answer directly, but bowed and said, "I have to thank Brother Han for his guidance."
As soon as Han Du heard it, he knew that he had succeeded, and said with envy, "It seems that Brother Xu has become a real warrior. Congratulations."
Then.
Han Du sighed, "I have no hope of becoming a martial artist in this life. When I was young, my family was poor and even had trouble eating. I became the manager of this mine because of my sister's beauty and the favor of the old mayor. After I had money, I did find some martial arts masters to teach me, but I was too old after all and missed the best time to practice martial arts. I only learned a little bit of boxing and kicking skills."
Xu Lian could only comfort him, "Brother Han, don't be discouraged. If you persevere, you will always gain something. In the martial arts world, besides achieving success at a young age, there is also the saying that great things come late in life. Perhaps one day, Brother Han will make great achievements."
Han Du smiled and said, "I'll lend you my good words."
Xu Lian chatted with him for a few more words, then got straight to the point, "Brother Han, have you ever heard of something like the Qi Condensation Pill?"
"Qi Condensation Pill?"
Han Du said, "When you hear the name of this pill, you can probably guess that it is something used by practitioners. I am just an ordinary person, how can I know this?"

Well... Xu Lian was a little disappointed but at the same time it was expected. After all, Han Du knew very little and it was impossible for him to know everything.
If there is really no other choice, he can only ask the White Fox Mine Patrol... According to the White Fox Mine Patrol's personality, he will probably just throw a Qi Condensation Pill to him.
However, the relationship between people can only last long if they are mutually beneficial. The White Fox Mine Patrol has taken good care of him enough, and his current strength is of almost no effect on the White Fox Mine Patrol.
To put it bluntly, the White Fox Mine Patrol has made an investment but has yet to see a return on investment, so this relationship is very delicate.
Xu Lian is not a person who is confused. He knows very well that blindly asking for things will eventually make people dislike him.
Therefore, he would try his best to solve the problem by himself if he could. As for things that were far beyond his ability like what happened last night, he had no choice but to seek protection from the White Fox Mine Patrol.
Han Du seemed to remember something. "But I heard that there is a black market for practitioners in Pingyang County. Maybe there are such things there, but..."
Xu Lian's eyes lit up, "Just what?"
Handu said, "I heard that practitioners use a kind of spiritual stone as a trading currency. Worldly money is definitely useless in that black market."
Xu Lian felt overwhelmed. He finally found out where the Qi Condensation Pills might be found, but he had no "money", the money of cultivators.
How can I get money from practitioners
He began to think about it.
The Yi sect is a very strange one. Not only does everyone join the sect through a clone, there is no salary, that is, no monthly stipend. If the Yi sect members want to obtain the resources for practice, they can only rely on their own abilities.
He had no money, but... he had power.
In a sense, power is sometimes equal to money.
In a sect that does not pay monthly salaries, abusing power for personal gain is tantamount to something that is tacitly approved by the higher-ups. As long as it is not too excessive, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye. After all, it is not easy for anyone without a monthly salary.
In other words, he could use the White Cat's clone's identity as the Pingyang County Inspector to get some resources for practice.
"It's time to go to Pingyang County."
Xu Lian had a preliminary plan.
The White Cat clone is the new inspector, so people in Pingyang County should show some respect to him, right
You know, the inspector has great power. He can take care of anything he doesn't like in the entire Pingyang County. He doesn't want to find fault with others, but others have to give him some "face".
