My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 71: Dung Immortal
"Who's looking for me?"

Chen Lang appeared in the courtyard and took a quick look.

The one who was shouting was the former commander of Team Seven. He remembered that the mountain master was his uncle.

There were two people following him, wearing armor, they were the guardians of the main mine.

The members of Team Seven are all here, and Mr. Jin and the four skinny guys are also squatting nearby, observing the situation.

"team leader!"

One team member showed joy on his face, "You are finally back, everyone is looking for you."

The supervisor ignored the obstruction and rushed over to slap an urgent letter in front of Chen Lang, "The mountain master has ordered that the Yanxi Mine is in danger, go to support it quickly!"

The two guards nearby explained with serious expressions, "The Western leader brought four masters and charged directly towards the main mine. They are coming with great force. Now the protective formation is fully activated. Even the mountain master and his brothers cannot stop them. The situation is very critical."

The other members of Team Seven looked at Chen Lang. They were extremely shocked when they heard the news before. They thought that their captain was invincible as he broke into the Qingmu Sect camp alone. They didn't expect that the Western Leader was also so fierce. Did they learn these tactics from the captain?

Chen Lang said, "I won't go. I want to protect Songhu Mine."

"This place is no longer important!" The guard was very anxious. "Brother, it's already this time. The headquarters is gone. Why are you still guarding the Songhu Mine?"
Chen Lang waved his hand, not wanting to argue with them, "Xiao Jin, show the guests away."

Hearing this address, Mr. Jin was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the captain in confusion, but still stood up, "The three of you, please."

"Han Tianxiao, please put the overall situation first!"

The supervisor stepped forward and stared at Chen Lang coldly, "Do you have any grudge against me in your heart? The mountain master uncle told me that our conflict is not that big. I also promised that I can forgive you for the kick you gave me.

But now, please understand clearly that both the Yanxi Mine and the Songhu Mine belong to my uncle. You are using my people and taking my money. Even my uncle has used the Soul Burning Pill and is fighting the enemy, but you are still fussing over trivial matters.

My people are all there now, facing life threats. If anything happens to them, we will hold you responsible in the future!"

"Sir, please stop talking." The guard next to him felt that something bad was going to happen. This war supervisor was not good in any way except that he was extremely wise.

Chen Lang said nothing, took off the Seven Star Sword, unsheathed it, and then slashed the supervisor's neck with the sword, splashing blood.

"Where is this idiot?"

He ordered, "Go back and tell your mountain master that he was hindering me from protecting Songhu Mine and had bad intentions. I have already killed him."

The two guards were terrified. Are they going to kill him just like that? What does this mean?
They looked at each other, then dragged the supervisor's body away, "We will report the truth."

After the three men left, the members of Team 7 were still in shock.

They wondered, was this really protecting the Songhu Mine?
Or maybe. Rebellion?

Chen Lang did not explain and directly took off the human skin mask, revealing his real face.

"Brother Lang! It's really you!" Jin Ye's eyes lit up, and the four skinny monkeys were also very happy. They had been guessing it, and it turned out to be true.

Only their Brother Lang has such a abnormal brain.

Chen Lang pulled up the tablecloth, wiped the blood off the Seven Star Sword, and said:

"Those of you who want to go back to support can go back on your own. Those who don't want to go can stay here with me."

After a short silence.

"Captain, I'll follow you."

"Me too."

They all chose to take sides. This time, the situation that happened at the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine did not occur, and everyone chose to join Chen Lang.

They realized that things might be changing at Yanxi Mine, and perhaps after the Pingtian Sect passed by, the mine owner would move to another location.

Moreover, this person obviously has the qualifications.

And how could they forget how the current mountain master treated them? He made them come to the front line as cannon fodder, gave them such a small salary, did not give them spirit stones or medicine, but gave them soul burning pills, and let them fight for their lives.

More than half of the people couldn't help but run away. They chose to stay, which was the greatest tolerance. Although I don't know if this person can succeed, what can I do? Will I go back and work for him as cannon fodder?

When acquaintances meet, it is natural to chat for a while.

Mr. Jin and the four skinny monkeys would definitely be willing to follow Chen Lang. After all, they all escaped from the Black Mountain Spirit Mine. In this cold world, they could only feel a little warmth from acquaintances.

However, the members of Team 7 seemed to be getting acquainted with each other all over again, with strange expressions on their faces.

"Chen Lang? Captain, your real name is Chen Lang?"

"The one from the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"Is there a problem?" Chen Lang asked.

"So you are the Dung Immortal? The one who dumps the dung into the marrow washing pool?" A young team member said with admiration on his face. They had discussed this topic just last night.

Chen Lang:?
Grandpa Jin was puzzled, "What dung immortal?"

"Who gave me this nickname?" Chen Lang frowned. Damn, what a low-class person.

Isn’t my name the Croton Immortal?
The young team member said happily, "Who knows? Captain, your wisdom has spread outside. If the people from Qingmu Sect knew your reputation, there would be no need for you to take action in person. I'm afraid they would run away overnight."

The reason why the news spread so widely was very simple. Firstly, it was truly shocking. Secondly, the impact of this incident was too wide. The four or five hundred large and small families under the Tianjian Sect had all their children's opportunities for marrow cleansing destroyed, and they were all asking the Tianjian Sect for debts. That bunch of old men and women were wandering around the streets every day, so it was hard not to spread the news.

"Brother Lang, are you a disciple of the Tianjian Sect? What's the matter with the manure?" Grandpa Jin asked. He felt that Chen Lang's face was full of stories.

Chen Lang's face was gloomy. "Shut up and don't ask."

He also didn't expect that his reputation was a little too big, too big, and really well-known.

Doesn't the system give an SSS-level reward?
After cleaning up the bloodstains, Chen Lang began to guard the Songhu Mine seriously, from noon to sunset.

No one came from the main mine, but a spy came back and said that the main formation of Yanxi Mine was broken, and there was a terrifying murderous aura leaking out from the cracks, which was frightening. Corpses could be seen rolling down the cliff from time to time at the foot of the mountain.

Finally, with a gust of cool breeze, the system was updated.

[Side quest: Mine Guardian completed]

[You joined the new organization and became the defender of Songhu Mine. When the Western leader of Pingtian Cult came to attack, you lived up to everyone's expectations and held on to Songhu Mine. You successfully repelled the powerful enemy and defended the safety of the mine. The owner and the guards will thank you and will not forget your efforts.]

[You are promoted to the first level of foundation building]

[You get the Earth Escape Talisman*5]

[You get a foundation dematerializer*1]

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lang suddenly felt that the true energy in his body doubled, and then doubled again. It was completely different from before.

The surging aura collapsed into his body and became steady. The bloody aura was also restrained, making him feel unfathomable. He was sure that as long as he restrained his aura, the Qi-refining cultivators would not be able to detect his realm.

"Have we finally come to this?" Chen Lang whispered, unable to help but sigh.

Circulating the true energy throughout the body brings incomparable comfort.

When he was in Qingzhou City, he had to flee when a foundation-building cultivator wanted to kill him. But a mere priest dared to show off his power and make a secular family like the Su family obey his orders.

Of course, he could understand now that the Foundation Establishment cultivators were just cannon fodder here, and no one would even bury their bodies when they died. Compared to risking their lives here, it was indeed a good idea to go out into the secular world, where they could show off their power and be highly respected.

The reward was just too little. Even if it was the monthly salary of 200 spirit stones at the Yanxi Mine, it would be worth six thousand silver taels according to the exchange rate. He heard from Su Qingchan that the old priest helped her cover up her identity fraud and was only paid three hundred silver taels. The labor cost was simply outrageous.

Any ambitious person would not stay in such a desolate place.

And he had indeed offended many people along the way. The families in Qingzhou City still hated him, and the disciples of Tianjian Sect were definitely thinking of settling scores with him. But, did it matter?
He still remembered that among the missions in Qingzhou City, the one that required "Show Your Talents" alone took as long as two years.

If I had followed the rules, I might still be busy now. How would I get the recognition of the Su family?
