Chapter 821: Chapter 821: We Must Mine, or Be Pawns!

Xu Wuwen revealed a smile.

"Very good, from today on, you are my man, Xu Wuwen!"

As he spoke, a flash of spiritual light flickered in his hand, and then he produced a jade pendant.

"Take this jade pendant and hang it on your waist, if you encounter any trouble while mining, you can mention my name!"

Still mining?

Lu Chen accepted the jade pendant in a daze, with the words "Spirit Martial" carved on the front and a "Xu" character on the back.

But he just couldn’t bring himself to ask that question.

However, Xu Wuwen seemed to see his confusion and said with a smile, "In the Spirit World, there’s a rule that people who have just come from the Mortal Realm must spend at least three years before they’re considered part of the Spirit World! Although my Spirit Martial Sect is the dominant sect within tens of thousands of miles, we still have to abide by these rules. You mine for three years, and after regaining your freedom, I will be able to accept you into the sect!"

"I see."

Lu Chen put away the jade pendant and gave Xu Wuwen a respectful bow, "So Manager Xu, when can I go to the mines?"

"There’s no rush," Xu Wuwen smiled, "You can start mining tomorrow. It’s also a good opportunity for me to explain the distribution of power within these mines to you!"

This one conversation lasted until the following morning.

When Lu Chen came out of this house, he was a completely changed person.

Xu Wuwen had told him a lot.

What surprised him the most was the repeatedly emphasized distribution of power.

This made Lu Chen secretly guess that he might just be a pawn in Xu Wuwen’s struggle for power.

"You want me to join the game, little do you know, I can use your outsider’s advantage to move through these mines like a fish takes to water!"

Lu Chen inwardly sneered while outwardly agreeing to join the Spirit Martial Sect, it was a forced hand.

And the benefit of this was that it could help Lu Chen eliminate many potential dangers.

The greatest advantage was that he understood the mines, and Lu Chen knew that Xu Wuwen would not deceive him here.

The Spirit Martial Sect had its own sect rules, and cultivators above the Nascent Soul, without the sect’s permission, were not allowed to enter the mine.

And the only one who could freely come and go was a common Divinity Transformation Stage!

"All I need to do is avoid him."

This Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, Xu Wuwen had also mentioned to him, was named Zhao Wuyun, in the early stage of Divinity Transformation, whose regular duty was to patrol the mines.

For any issue, it’s better to act first and report afterward!

He was a manager with real power!

"So you’re Lu Chen, right?"

Upon reaching the entrance to the mines, a Nascent Soul cultivation level person came to greet him, sizing up Lu Chen.

"I am."

Lu Chen gave a respectful bow.

"Here are your things, take good care of them, and don’t make trouble inside! If you run into Manager Zhao, even Manager Xu can’t save you!"

This Nascent Soul gave him a warning, placed a small storage bag in Lu Chen’s palm, then signaled Lu Chen to enter the mine.

Though he hadn’t said much, Lu Chen felt a certain politeness.

Xu Wuwen did have some use, Lu Chen had already guessed as much.

These Nascent Soul guards were also not allowed inside the mine, which was quite spacious but devoid of people.

Lu Chen looked at the storage bag, finding a mining pick, a bottle of pills, and a booklet.

The contents of the booklet had all been mentioned by Xu Wuwen.

It was the pills that had not been mentioned.

"Mining and pills, this is somewhat interesting."

Lu Chen laughed, opened the porcelain bottle, and immediately a strange fragrance wafted out.

"High-quality Nine Restoration Pills, excellent medicine for healing injuries!"

Pills also had different grades, and Nine Restoration Pills were considered high-grade pills even in the Mortal Realm.

Lu Chen had not seen pills before, but he possessed their formulas, including one obtained from Fire Danzi’s pill book, which recorded the Nine Restoration Pills.

But suddenly.

Lu Chen’s brows furrowed, and he brought the pills in his palm close to his nose again. Sniffing carefully, he detected a foul odor hidden within.

Eh?

Upon another sniff, the stench had vanished!

"Did I smell it wrong?"

But this thought, like that fleeting stench, was dismissed from his mind.

Having been exposed to Spiritual Medicines for a long time, Lu Chen knew he could not have been mistaken. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately shifted his eyes, and started to use the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

Instantly, his expression changed!

The pill actually contained an unnecessary Spiritual Medicine!

"This is... Rotting Leaf Erode! A poisonous Spiritual Medicine!"
