Immortal Palace Longevity

Liu Yu nodded gently, and then found that only Sun Ju arrived on time. It was already 9:00 p.m., and he frowned slightly, saying:

"Where are Senior Brother Su and the other junior brothers? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Sun Ju shook her head, indicating that she hadn't seen them arrive.

Thinking of the maids arranged by Chai Wenzheng last night, Liu Yu knew clearly why they hadn't arrived yet, but he couldn't tell Sun Ju.

It was normal for people to have sex, and he didn't want to interfere in other people's private lives. However, today was the day of the task handover, and he was a little angry that the others put their personal interests above their duties.

"Junior Sister Sun, you did a good job of arriving on time according to the time. Since the other disciples haven't arrived yet, please go and call them over one by one."

Liu Yu's face was slightly gloomy, and his voice was a little cold.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Although Sun Ju was not very willing to go, she did not want to cause Liu Yu's displeasure when she saw his expression. After all, this Senior Brother was very powerful and had excellent magic weapons. He would have to stay under him for another five years. It would be bad if he offended Senior Brother Liu.

At that moment, Sun Ju followed Liu Yu's instructions and called several people one by one.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wu Chang, Zhou Guibo, and Xie Huaxiong stood in the hall with their heads down. Liu Yu looked at them coldly. Sun Ju sat on a chair on the side and looked down at his arm. It seemed that there was something attractive on his arm. He turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him.

"Originally, this is your private matter and I don't want to intervene, but you delayed the mission time because of your private affairs, so I have to intervene."

"As the person in charge of this mission, I don't want the same thing to happen again. In the next five years, if anyone commits the same mistake again, I will report it to the sect and punish him severely, or send him back to the sect to participate in the war!"

"As long as you perform the mission well, I don't care how you have fun afterwards, but you must complete the mission for me and don't make any mistakes. Okay, sit down!"

Liu Yu spoke slowly and no one dared to look up and look at him. With his high cultivation and a good reason, he took this opportunity to knock a few people to establish his prestige.

Zhou Guibo, Wu Chang, and Xie Huaxiong did not dare to refute. After hearing this, they immediately nodded and said yes, and found a chair to sit down.

Yuanyang Sect, a large sect with a long history, attaches great importance to etiquette and hierarchy. Liu Yu's status is higher than that of the others. In addition to the difference in strength, the others were in the wrong first. Although they were unhappy, they could only accept the admonition honestly and did not dare to talk back.

Not long after the others sat down, Su Ding walked in and bowed and said loudly:

"I am really ashamed. I have kept Junior Brother Liu waiting for a long time."

He has dark circles under his eyes and pale skin, as if he has experienced a lot of worldly affairs. He was not qualified and was squeezed out to garrison in Hanyue City. After the war of the spirit stone mine began, he had to go back to the sect to participate in the war. He knew that his hope of survival was not great. He gave up cultivation and began to enjoy life in time.

"It's just a little time, don't worry about it. There's no time to lose. Since Senior Brother Su has arrived, let's set off now!"

As inner disciples, they have the same status, so Liu Yu didn't say much. After today, they might never meet again. As long as he didn't leave any traps for him during the mission, his tolerance for him was relatively high. He just urged him to complete the handover quickly.

"Okay, since Junior Brother is concerned about the sect's affairs, let's go now."

Seeing that the Junior Brothers didn't want to chat, Su Ding didn't want to make himself boring. After saying that, he walked out of the door first.

Liu Yu turned around and winked at the few people to let them act according to the situation, and then took the four people out of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

A group of six people came to the outside of the hall, each took out a magic weapon and flew to the northeast of Hanyue City.

The cold iron ore vein is about a hundred miles away from Hanyue City. Liu Yu and his friends only took a little more than half an hour to get here. If it weren't for Wu Chang and the other four's low cultivation and slow speed, half an hour would be enough.

Liu Yu and his companions drove their magic tools to stop above the cold iron vein and looked down.

The cold iron produced by the cold iron vein is only the material for refining low-grade magic tools, and the profit is not very high. Of course, it is impossible to use monks to mine. All the miners are mortals.

Although the mining speed of mortals is slow, as long as the number of people is increased and their lives are used to fill the gap, the monthly output is still considerable.

It was just noon at this time, and many miners on the flat ground below were handing in the ore they dug to receive food.

Most of these mortals were ragged, their clothes were worn out like a few rags wrapped around their bodies, their hair was unkempt and their bodies were dirty with black dirt, not much different from beggars.

Some people were skinny and bony, and they couldn't dig enough ore, so they were whipped by the supervisors until they were bleeding, screaming, and had very little food; some people were strong and muscular, and they easily dug enough ore and received enough food. They looked at the former with contempt and strode to the side to enjoy; the supervisors grinned wantonly, swept through every miner in line, and only waited for the lucky ones to hand in insufficient ore before whipping them and listening to their screams.

According to what Hanyue City said to the outside world, those who were demoted to miners were all extremely evil criminals, and none of them were good people. However, Liu Yu certainly knew the real situation, but as long as Chai Wenzheng provided enough miners every month and the mine dug enough cold iron ore, he would not care about these things.

This world is so cruel. I can easily decide the fate of mortals, and high-level monks can easily control my life and death.

After all, Liu Yu spoke out in a peaceful world in his previous life. Seeing the scene below, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes. He knew that this situation could not be changed by a small Qi Refining Stage monk. What did the life and death of these mortals have to do with him? If you fail to turn in enough cold iron ore every month, you will be punished by the sect.

Recalling the records in the Essentials of Demonic Cultivation and what he had seen over the years, the ripples in his heart quickly disappeared, and the dark pupils under Liu Yu's eyelashes quickly returned to calm, looking at everything indifferently.

Su Ding and Wu Chang were unfazed. They had long been accustomed to the condescension of immortal cultivators and regarded the lives of mortals as nothing. Only Sun Ju had a hint of unbearability in her eyes. She opened her mouth and finally said nothing.

Liu Yu and the others fell from the sky and dropped the light-escaped magic weapon in front of a wooden house outside the mine.

Many people in the mine saw the immortal master who suddenly arrived, and there were several of them, which immediately caused a commotion.

After the overseer used his whip to quell the commotion, an old man with a mustache came forward. His attire was different from that of the surrounding overseers and guards, and he seemed to be in charge.

The old man with a mustache came up and paid homage, with a flattering smile on his face. He obviously knew Su Ding's identity and said respectfully to Su Ding:

"See the Immortal Master Su. What does the Immortal Master have to say? Just give the order and I will go and do it right away!"

Su Ding chuckled, turned sideways to Liu Yu and the others, and said:

"Okay, get up. My mission has expired, and I will leave Hanyue City and return to the sect soon. These are my fellow disciples who are responsible for replacing me in guarding the mine. You go down and inform the junior brothers in the mine to come over immediately."

The old man with a mustache stood up after hearing the words, bent slightly and did not dare to stand up straight, and smiled flatteringly at Liu Yu and the others:

"As ordered, I will immediately go and inform the Immortal Master inside, Lin Dayong, if any of the Immortal Masters have any instructions, I will do my best to handle it!"

After Lin Dayong finished speaking, he slowly retreated and took a few big men to inform the four outer disciples who were stationed here before.
