Something is wrong with my junior sister after her spiritual veins were destroyed

The Zhushen Sect was a cult organization that was once popular on the Xuanzhen Continent.

Their deeds were recorded in the miscellaneous essays that Su Zi had read.

This force is composed of various evil cultivators who cultivate by devouring living souls, use the blood of cultivators to refine blood and soul pills to improve their cultivation, or refine the bodies of cultivators into puppets.

Later, all major sects joined forces to wipe them out, but there are still some remnants hiding in various places in the Xuanzhen Continent, or in some ownerless secret realms, like rats, coming out from time to time to cause trouble.

It was very simple for Su Zi to verify whether he was in the secret realm. He only needed to use the system to deduce the exercises to break through to the foundation-building stage. In the secret realm, the laws of heaven and earth were imperfect. It was possible to break through a small realm, but it was impossible to break through a large realm.

But Su Zi doesn't plan to try this now.

She had to get in touch with her senior brothers and sisters first, then find an opportunity to communicate with them and understand the evil cultivator's purpose before making plans.

At this time, I can only be a diligent miner.

Inside the mine, someone would come in to patrol every few minutes to prevent them from slacking off.

Except for the dozen spirit stones that Su Zi dug out at the beginning, he didn't see a single one in the next half hour.

Wang Lin's digging speed was not as fast as hers, and his harvest was less than hers. So far, almost an hour had passed, and he had only dug three pieces.

At this rate, they could only dig twelve spirit stones in an hour at most. Two hundred spirit stones would take the two of them nearly seventeen hours to finish digging.

I don’t think I’ll be whipped today.

Su Zi sighed. Her palms were rubbing so hard that she stopped, grabbed a large rock and put it under her butt to sit on. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to look at Lu Shaoxun who was still digging hard beside her.

"Brother Lu, when will we be able to mine these 100 pieces?"

Hearing this, Lu Shaoxun replied without even looking up, "The normal meal time is at twilight hour. If you don't finish by then, you won't get any food. You have to keep digging until the task is completed. If you still haven't finished by seven o'clock the next morning, you'll be whipped."

After listening to this, Su Zi started counting on his fingers.

"It's about one o'clock now. There are still eleven hours until twelve o'clock at night. If I dig twelve coins in an hour..."

After muttering for a long time, Su Zi finally came to a conclusion.

If she could dig twelve spirit stones every hour, she would be able to dig two hundred spirit stones by five o'clock tomorrow morning, and she and Wang Lin could rest for another two hours... Bullshit!

Su Zi felt like cursing.

Digging for fifteen hours without stopping was really killing her.

And if that happens, she won’t have any time to review her study hours throughout the day!

"Hurry up and dig. It's no use just sitting there and sighing. If all else fails, ask Brother Li to give you his. He's thick-skinned and isn't afraid of a fight."

This...is not impossible.

Su Zi's eyes rolled around.

After all, it would be better for me to let my fellow Taoist die. I believe that the eldest brother will definitely not bear to see her get beaten.

Thinking of this, Su Zi felt better.

However, this spirit stone was really hard to dig. Her hands were already red from digging for only an hour with her body in the foundation-building stage.

After thinking about it, Su Zi directly tore a piece of cloth from her skirt, first wrapped the handle of Wang Lin's iron pickaxe next to her with the cloth, and then wrapped his palm with the cloth.

Then do the same for yourself, and then start digging again.

I have to say, apart from the fact that my arms still feel numb from the vibration, the pain caused by the friction has been reduced a lot.

As a result, the mining efficiency of Su Zi and the others increased.

Seeing this, the other people in the mine, including Lu Shaoxun and Tang Bai, followed Su Zi's example and wrapped their hands and pickaxes with cloth strips.

After digging for about two hours on and off, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the cave.

The other people who had been digging diligently in the mine suddenly stood up and pushed their carts out.

Lu Shaoxun counted out a dozen spirit stones from his own cart and stuffed them into Su Zi's cart. Before leaving, he said:

“This is the extra we dug. You guys can’t even get a hundred of them, so you definitely won’t be able to eat.

You two just arrived today, so it’s no big deal if you skip a meal. But it’s different for us. If we skip a meal, we won’t have the energy to dig.

You two can dig first, and when we finish eating, we will call your senior brother to help you dig."

After saying that, he pushed the cart away without looking back.

Su Zi looked at Lu Shaoxun's back and sighed. In fact, she was already feeling hungry.

This is the consequence of not taking the fasting pills.

Su Zi cursed himself and had to continue digging.

Including what Lu Shaoxun had just given them, there were only seventy-six pieces in Su Zi and Wang Lin’s carts, and they were still twenty-four pieces short. At their efficiency, it would take them two hours to dig, and they would definitely not be able to make it in time for dinner.

"Wang Lin, are you hungry?"

While digging, Su Zi asked Wang Lin, who was two or three steps away from him.

"I'm not very hungry yet. I took the Qigong pills before, so I think I can hold on for a while. Senior Sister Su, are you hungry?"

"I don't--Gurgle--" Su Zi paused and laughed dryly. "I'm a little hungry, but it's okay. Let's continue digging and try to finish it as soon as possible so that we can have some time to rest."

There was no one else in the mine except the two of them, so Wang Lin naturally heard the sound of Su Zi's stomach growling.

He pursed his lips and ultimately said nothing, but his mining speed became noticeably faster.

After more than ten minutes, a series of hurried footsteps were heard in the mine, and Su Zi and Wang Lin reflexively looked out of the cave entrance.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon and the light coming in from outside was orange-yellow.

Not long after, three figures came in from the door, one of them was Lu Shaoxun.

Next to him were two strangers, a man and a woman.

All three of them were holding identical pickaxes.

However, Su Zi felt that the figure looked very familiar.

"Little junior sister!"

"Senior sister!"

Su Zi immediately confirmed that the female cultivator who called her was Bai Qingqian. Although their appearance and voice were different, considering what Lu Shaoxun said, these two people must be her senior brother and second senior sister.

"Junior sister, how come you were caught too?" Li Qingchen also came over, but he just stood quietly by, his face full of anxiety and worry.

Bai Qingqian was also checking whether Su Zi was injured.

Like Su Zi, they also had black iron rings around their necks.

"It's a long story."

Su Zi shrugged and briefly explained how there was an undercover ghost cultivator in the sect, who captured Wang Lin to threaten her, and also captured her as well.

"Junior sister, you are so righteous." Bai Qingqian and Li Qingchen didn't say anything, but Lu Shaoxun next to them gave her a thumbs up.

Only then did Lu Shaoxun know the reason why Su Zi and the other were arrested.

"I'm sorry, I have caused trouble for Senior Sister Su..."

Wang Lin was standing nearby, head lowered, shoulders trembling slightly.

"It has nothing to do with you. Their target is me, and you are the one who was implicated by me." Su Zi raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head.

"Okay, what about yours, mine, and his? I think it's all the fault of that evil cultivator. Stop taking the blame on each other. Let's finish today's task as soon as possible." Lu Shaoxun snapped his fingers, interrupting the conversation between the two. "With the three of us, we can finish it in minutes."

"You must be hungry. Eat something first." Bai Qingqian said as she took out a large white steamed bun wrapped in a white handkerchief from her arms, divided it in half and handed it to the two men. Li Qingchen also handed each of them a bamboo tube.

"Senior Sister Qingqian, I'm not hungry. I ate some fasting pills before. Give them all to Senior Sister Su." Wang Lin shook his head and did not take the steamed bun. Instead, he took the bamboo tube of water.

Bai Qingqian handed both halves to Su Zi. Su Zi did not refuse. She ate half and put the other half away.

"By the way, Senior Sister, how did you and Senior Brother disguise themselves? Isn't the storage ring unusable?"

Su Zi sat on a rock and ate a steamed bun. He looked at the backs of the four people mining and spoke.

"The Disguise Pill is not in the storage device. Do you want to eat it, Junior Sister?"

“Forget it. The undercover agent knows Wang Lin and I’s movements. It’s useless to change our appearance. It will expose you.”

After Su Zi finished speaking, he silently gave a thumbs up to his senior brothers and sisters in his heart.

It seems that the essence of causing trouble has been learned, not bad.
