Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1536 712: North Sea Mining (2)

Chen Shi looked over and showed a look of disgust: "Is this the clothing of low-level Immortals? How disgusting, take it away!"

Guan Qinshuang was about to take it away when Chen Shi added: "Forget it, leave it for now. I'll wear it."

Guan Qinshuang left the clothing, and Chen Shi pinched it between two fingers, still not having the courage to wear it, sighed: "Do beggars wear these? How can I go out wearing this?"

Guan Qinshuang laughed: "Young Master Zhong is a native of the Earth Immortal Realm, right?"

Chen Shi nodded: "I was born into the Zhong Family of the Thunder Capital Province in the Earth Immortal Realm, my ancestors ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm following The Three Pure Ones as immortals."

Guan Qinshuang was moved, ascended following The Three Pure Ones? That's the son of a prominent family!

She dared not be negligent, smiled apologetically: "No wonder. Young Master Zhong, this clothing for Immortals ascended from the Lower Realm is already quite remarkable, it's made from heavenly gastrodia from Fire Valley, soaked in vinegar for forty-nine days, threads drawn out, and woven by the Weavers. After sacrificial refinement, different Defense Dao Patterns and Gathering Spirit Arrays are imprinted, also added with Light Body Talismans and Dawn Talismans, it does look quite immortal-like."

Chen Shi said in surprise: "These beggars wear such exquisite things? And still complain they can't survive, truly outrageous!"

Guan Qinshuang explained: "It's not exquisite. For ordinary people, this clothing is quite extraordinary, like heavenly clothes, but for Immortals, it is a bit tasteless, it doesn't significantly enhance defense nor gather much Spiritual Energy. It can't even completely lighten the body."

"I see."

Chen Shi took out some Heavenly Yuan Notes and stuffed them into her hand, saying, "I want to experience the customs of the North Sea, let's part ways here."

Guan Qinshuang quickly said: "Sir, this is the North Sea, after all, people are treacherous, I am worried that you might find things difficult here, why not let me accompany you, it's good to have someone to look after each other."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment: "Won't it delay you?"

"No delay, no delay."

Guan Qinshuang followed him, and Chen Shi studied the local customs in Jingzhou City, buying many special products of Jingzhou, spending lavishly.

Guan Qinshuang secretly laughed when she saw this: "This Young Master is not here to study local customs, he's here to play. If I can get close to him, I wouldn't have to struggle in this cesspool of the North Sea."

She repeatedly showed intentions of offering her companionship, but Chen Shi was uninterested.

Guan Qinshuang was eager to climb up, and seeing that he had no such interest, she thought to herself: "Forget it, I should sell him to the mine boss and make some money first."

They took a carriage to the countryside of Yanzhou, Guan Qinshuang was unfamiliar with the area and planned to sell Chen Shi to the mine boss when they reached Yanzhou City.

When they reached Dao Wang County, Chen Shi sold her to the mine boss of Er Cang Mountain.

When the mine boss came to collect her, Guan Qinshuang realized it was wrong and immediately tried to use Immortal Light Escape to flee, but as soon as she took off, a Binding Immortal Rope flew in, tying her up face down, limbs in the air, and she fell down.

Guan Qinshuang shouted: "I'm Black Taibao! I'm really Black Taibao!"

The mine boss came over, picked her up, slapped her twice and shouted: "What are you yelling? You reckless thing! Just so you know, you've been sold to us at Black Water Mountain by your man!"

Guan Qinshuang cried: "I'm the one who sells people, I'm not being sold! He's not my man, I was here to sell him! Go ask around in Jingzhou, I've sold many Immortals to the mines!"

The mine boss slapped her a few more times, kicked her in the gut, and yelled: "Since you always sell people, now you're sold, blame your own incompetence. You just dig in Black Water Mountain, if you dig something valuable, you'll get paid. We're not really heartless, if you have the skills, you can make money, it's much better than struggling outside."

Guan Qinshuang smiled apologetically: "Elder, I know the mining slaves in the mine, it's hard to survive past five years, could I maybe sell myself..."

"Smack!"

The mine boss slapped her again and shouted: "Don't push it. We are Immortal Trues who have cut Three Corpses, who wants your frail body? It's just a pile of white bones. Go to work now!"

Guan Qinshuang cursed inwardly: "Damn, ran into someone who has cultivated the White Bone Observation to immortality! Completely unaffected by coaxing or threats."

White Bone Observation is a method of visualizing for Cultivation Immortality, imagining the body as a white bone, once perfected, any beautiful woman seen is just a skeleton, seeing others and oneself also as bones. Therefore, they act coldly and unemotionally, unaffected by emotions.

After a while, Guan Qinshuang was escorted to Black Water Mountain, with the entire Immortal Mountain Mine Vein having Heaven and Earth Net set up both above and below ground to prevent mining slaves from escaping.

These mining slaves are not tortured to death, if they dig good minerals, they get paid, Heavenly Yuan Notes are not lacking, and there's enough Immortal Qi Spirit Liquid.

The real danger comes from deep within the miner vein, often unknown ancient objects are unearthed from the mine, or bones, or abnormal spaces within the mine, causing untimely death.

Guan Qinshuang was sent to the No. 4 mining area, preparing to enter the mountain with a group of Immortal miners.

At this moment, she saw a familiar figure, and couldn't help but feel extremely excited, quickly rushing forward and grabbing that person's sleeve, shouting: "Zhong Wuwang! You vile man, how dare you sell me here as a mining slave, today I'm at odds with you!"

That person was indeed Chen Shi, who broke free from Guan Qinshuang, raised an eyebrow: "Does the lady intend to resort to violence?"

Guan Qinshuang was startled, not daring to get physical with him, suppressing her anger and sneering: "Why are you in here as a mining slave? Were you sold too?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "I came to experience the customs, so after selling you, I sold myself to the mine boss."

Guan Qinshuang was in agony and pleaded: "Young Master, this mine replaces a batch of Immortals every five years! Even Daluo Immortals find it hard to survive five years! Quickly reveal your identity, take me away from this hell!"
