Under the influence of Yu Huang’s successful epiphany of the cultivation technique in the mine, in the next few days, everyone was excited. They were full of enthusiasm when digging the mine. They all fantasized about being able to enter a state of epiphany.
They didn’t fantasize about comprehending a cultivation technique. He only wanted to absorb more spiritual power and increase his cultivation as soon as possible.
After Yu Huang created the Cloud Tearing Technique, her mining speed became much faster. In just five days, the mine under her feet was as deep as the mine under Sheng Xiao’s feet. At this time, Yu Huang had to jump into the mine to dig.
Day after day, those who squatted on the ground or mining in shallow pits dug the Black Spirit Stone pit under their feet until it was deep and wide.
Everyone was squatting in the deep pit and mining. Occasionally, they would see someone slacking off and wanting to stand up to rest. Di Ruofeng and Pupu An would swing a big hammer at them.
Under the supervision of Di Ruofeng and Pupu An, less and less students slacked off.
Gradually, they all sensed that the spiritual power in their bodies had become much more mellow and solid. In the beginning, those students who could only last for an hour before their spiritual power was exhausted could mostly last for more than three hours.
As for Yu Huang, she could last for four hours before standing up to catch her breath.
When there were six days left until the two-month deadline, Sheng Xiao’s interspatial bag’s space was full. He heaved a sigh of relief and jumped out of the mine. He looked up at Di Ruofeng and Pupu An, who were drinking tea on a mountain. “Principal, my interspatial bag is full.”
Hearing this, the students squatting in the mine revealed envious expressions.
As expected of Grand Master Sheng, he had filled the mine so early.
Di Ruofeng glanced at the interspatial bag beside him through the air and saw that it was indeed filled. He said, “Transfer your interspatial bag to the top of the mountain beside you.” The Black Dome looked like a lonely mountain from the south, but there were a few small hills in the north.
The small hill Di Ruofeng pointed at was behind the Black Spirit Stone mine.
Sheng Xiao looked over and saw that there were two to three hundred meters between the two hills. His expression became distorted. In the early stages, he could dig five Black Spirit Stones every three days. Later on, he could dig three Black Spirit Stones a day.
There were a total of 122 bricks in his pocket. One brick weighed a thousand pounds, so he had 122,000 pounds.
Even Sheng Xiao couldn’t carry such heavy bricks!
He took a deep breath and resigned himself to fate as he walked into the distance. He picked up the pole on the ground, took out four Black Spirit Stones from his interspatial bag, and started to pick up bricks.
He thought he would be able to relax after mining.
But no, there was more mining waiting for him!
The students felt despair when they saw that Sheng Xiao was mining again after finishing.
In their hearts, they scolded the academy for being cruel, but deep down, they knew that the academy was urging them to train for their own good.
Even though everyone was complaining in their hearts, no one voiced any complaints out loud.
Soon, Yu Huang also filled up her interspatial bag. Without waiting for Di Ruofeng and the others’ instructions, Yu Huang obediently found a shoulder pole and silently picked ores.
On the way to the mountain nearby, she met Sheng Xiao halfway there.
After mining for nearly two months, both of them looked disheveled. Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiao, who had lost his noble aura, and suddenly burst out laughing. Sheng Xiao looked at the ashes on Yu Huang’s face and thought of the big black cat that everyone raised in Yufu City.
“Pfft!”
The two of them smiled at each other and continued with their work.
Just as Yu Huang was about to finish picking the ores, the other students also filled up their interspatial bags. Then, everyone carried shoulder poles and picked ores.
Sheng Xiao was the first to complete the mission.
The shoulder pole lacerated the skin on his shoulder and he bled. The shirt on his shoulder also fused with the lacerated skin. After two months of hard work, Sheng Xiao’s hair had grown much longer. It was mixed with his sweat and stuck to his face messily. He looked miserable.
He held the pole in his hand and placed it on the ground forcefully. He said to Di Ruofeng in a muffled voice, “Principal, my mission is completed.”
Di Ruofeng snorted. “Go back and rest.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Xiao saw that Yu Huang was about to complete her mission. He stood aside and waited for a while. After he waited for only an hour, Yu Huang finished it.
