Mine No. 175
"Shift's changed, Lao Zhang! A new supervisor's starting, you'd better hurry up and get there!"
Outside the mine, Zhang Liang stood up and looked at the foreman who came to relieve him, asking with concern,
"Brother Wang, have you met with the new manager? How did it go...? How much did you give him as a bribe?"
"How much else could it be? Ten immortal stones, of course. This new supervisor was personally assigned by the commander; do you dare to give him less?"
Hearing his colleague say that, Zhang Liang's face showed some difficulty.
"Brother Wang... I only have six yuan, do you... do you have... could you...?"
"No! Not a single penny left! You're all alone and have nothing, but I have a family to support, where would I get extra money?"
Wang Peng spread his hands and shook them repeatedly.
These days, you can talk about anything, just not money...
However, Zhang Liang is also somewhat pitiful... He's a kind-hearted man who wouldn't exploit those who skip work; where would he find extra money?
But if the tribute is too little, the new supervisor will be unhappy, and the supervisor will lose their job.
The mine, numbered over nine hundred, is lacking miners.
Thinking of this, Wang Peng raised an eyebrow.
"If you really don't have any money... how about I give you an idea?"
"Tell me, tell me now!"
Zhang Liang immediately perked up, staring expectantly at Wang Peng.
"Chen Ping'an...doesn't he still owe forty primordial stones? Although his son was killed by a spy...he might still have some immortal stones at home, right? You should..."
"No! No, no!"
Zhang Liang's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
Chen Ping'an's son had just ascended to immortality, but was then possessed... Others are suffering so much and are still mining; how could he do something so harmful?
If the money were truly in his hands, why wouldn't he use it to treat his mineral poisoning?
Zhang Liang also rose through the ranks from being an absentee worker, so he knew the hardships of such a job.
Mining day and night, all you can hope for is enough to make a living.
Even if I stole some fragments of crystal... they were painstakingly saved up. Why would I do something that would ruin my life?
"Fine! I only have these six immortal stones... I'll send them over and see. If the supervisor gets angry, I'll accept it!"
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he waved to Wang Peng and left with a somewhat desolate air.
In the supervisory office, hundreds of supervisors who had just finished their shift change were taking turns going in to offer bribes outside the supervisor's room.
Everyone who came out looked relaxed.
"Hey! How's the new manager? Pretty impressive, huh?"
"You're not kidding, a True Immortal expert, how could they not be powerful?"
"How powerful is it?"
"Hmm...you'll see when you go in!"
...
Listening to the steward chatting and laughing as he emerged safely, Zhang Liang nervously gripped his storage bag.
Finally, it was his turn.
Standing in front of the supervisor's office door, his palms were sweating.
If I give away these six immortal stones, I might still be transferred to mining.
But if I don't deliver it... I'll definitely be forced to mine!
Maybe the new supervisor is more accommodating and will let me owe him money first...
With this wishful thinking, Zhang Liang pushed open the door.
What comes into view is a pair of feet stacked on the desk.
Behind the desk was a manager reclining in a chair, his face covered with a copy of Imperial Chronicles.
The sacred stones offered as offerings were piled up on the table, and even scattered on the floor.
Unlike the previous manager, who would simply collect the immortal stones he received, this was completely different.
Then they'll use their eyes and imposing manner to strike.
With so many immortal stones scattered on the ground, perhaps the supervisor didn't even notice?
"My lord, I am Zhang Liang, the steward. This is a gift of immortal stones for you..."
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he placed the immortal stone on the table.
The table was already piled high with stones; when he placed the six on it, they simply rolled down the pile of stones and onto the ground.
Suppressing his fear and excitement, Zhang Liang carefully retreated.
Just as they were about to reach the door, a voice suddenly rang out.
How many pieces?
Zhang Liang's legs went weak, and he knelt down immediately.
Once a person has done something wrong, they are easily afraid.
Those who can do wrong things with a clear conscience are generally not good people... Unfortunately, Zhang Liang was a kind-hearted man.
"Six...six yuan!"
In his nervousness, Zhang Liang's teeth chattered.
With a look of fear in his eyes, the supervisor, who had been lying in the chair, slowly sat up, then lowered his feet off the table and walked step by step to him.
"Six pieces..."
In Zhang Liang's line of sight, the pair of Flying Cloud Light Boots sold by Flying Cloud Pavilion in the main city slowly walked towards him.
"Bang!"
Then I slapped him on the shoulder.
"Bang...bang..."
Six in a row!
Zhang Liang was drenched in cold sweat.
But strangely, the force of the slap was not strong at all.
Even taking pictures of it made him feel very relaxed.
Go!
Upon hearing this command, Zhang Liang looked up in astonishment.
What I saw was a young, handsome face, and a faint smile...
"Yes...yes...thank you, supervisor! Thank you, supervisor!"
Watching Zhang Liang leave, Ye Feng shook his head and lay back down in his chair.
Zhang Liang was considered one of the better ones among this group of miners.
More importantly, the two had met twice before...
It was he who reminded Ye Feng that a commander was coming.
But fate is fickle, and in the end, he still had to face off against Wang Sheng.
However, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
A month has passed since the two fought.
During this month, Ye Feng gained a lot of knowledge and a general understanding of the situation.
First of all, although immortals are said to have an infinite lifespan.
But in reality, it's not infinite!
Below the level of Earth Immortals, everyone needs to eat, and this need increases over time.
If one's comprehension of the laws cannot improve, then one will need more and more immortal food to nourish oneself.
Ordinary immortals can generally only live for ten thousand years.
For anything exceeding ten thousand years, the required immortal materials would be beyond the reach of an ordinary human immortal.
This is not just about immortals.
True Immortals and Profound Immortals are the same! The only difference is that their lifespans are doubled.
Although I don't know what the situation is with Earth Immortals, judging from the appearance of the Golden Origin Star Lord as an elder, I know that there must be some kind of limitation.
There's no such thing as being able to lie down and do nothing for the rest of your life!
These rules were completely different from what Ye Feng had imagined.
When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, those heavenly soldiers and generals had all lived for millions of years.
Aside from not being able to flirt with fairies, they basically have nothing to worry about.
And even if you make a mistake, you might be reincarnated and achieve even greater things...
"Sigh... Come to think of it, if everyone were immortal, wouldn't the universe have exploded long ago?"
If I had known I was going to time travel, I should have studied cosmology beforehand.
Of course... it may not necessarily apply here.
Human immortals live for at most ten thousand years, so Zhang Liang is at least seven thousand years old...
What Ye Feng just gave him were six spirit leaves!
Although the lifespan that spirit leaves can extend in the immortal realm is not as many as several hundred years.
However, it can regulate the body!
His physical body, which had been assimilated by the laws, was restored... By all accounts, the restored lifespan should be more than six hundred years.
Furthermore, why were Wang Sheng and Jin Yuanxing so polite to him?
It's all because the Eternal Dawn Galaxy borders the Dark Realm, and they're short a few more to die in...
Ascended beings are generally as strong as those of a major realm in the early stages.
This true immortal ascendant was just the right person to replace Wang Sheng, who was about to go to the battlefield.
Compared to my own life and death, what is a nephew... I can just have another one!
