With the implementation of Wenn Qing’s new regulations.
Out of the hundreds of miners, a dozen or so chose to leave, but most remained.
Many of these miners already trusted Zheng Yi, and they understood that as the Dragon Blood Mine transitioned from the Demon Sect to a renowned and righteous sect, significant changes were inevitable.
These older and wiser miners knew that major reforms would bring substantial differences in rules.
Furthermore, entering the Cultivation Realm.
Creates a divide between mortals and cultivators, and how many would easily give up the opportunity to cultivate?
Moreover, the Zheng Family immediately distributed basic breathing cultivation techniques and promised a monthly allowance of two pieces of Low-grade Spirit Stone, a treatment almost akin to that of the previous Immortal Servants within the Wang Family.
Benefits such as Spiritual Energy Blood Stone and others.
Were vastly different from before, hence why many people stayed.
After all, merely drawing a grand blueprint is insufficient; tangible benefits are necessary for peace of mind.
"Have you heard? Our new boss has finally arrived.
Rumor has it that yesterday, Zhang Da somehow cultivated Qi Sensitivity."
One of the miners said.
"Indeed, we miners have been at this Dragon Blood Mine for many years.
Zhang Da has survived here for over eight years, and his constitution has changed significantly. Although it cannot compare to Top-grade Spirit Root, his initial cultivation speed should reach the level of Mid-grade Spirit Root."
Another person responded.
"Have you heard?
The Zheng Family has also set a rule: if one can cultivate to First-layer Qi Refining, the benefits double; if one reaches Third-layer Qi Refining, one’s family can be brought from outside the mine.
Future descendants can also enjoy the Zheng Family’s benefits."
Upon hearing this, all the miners in the shaft instantly became like wound-up machines, each using full force in mining.
And those older, less physically capable miners were not abandoned.
They opened a medicinal garden nearby.
And began planting reishi mushrooms.
In no time, the affairs of the Zheng Family, large and small, were all arranged in an orderly manner under the management of Wenn Qing and several Madams.
Alchemy, reishi cultivation, talisman crafting, though the Madams were not adept in everything, they brought people with various skills.
After all, not everyone was a member of the Wang Family.
There were also many previous Immortal Servants, some of whom were close to Zheng Yi.
Just like Wang Xing, now a Spirit Plant Master, boasting in front of the miners: "Back then, the current Zheng Family Master was close friends with me, Wang Xing.
One day, the two of us went together..."
When speaking of certain secrets.
Wang Xing dared not speak freely, but even so, it drew laughter from many nearby miners.
"Master Wang, though your cultivation is indeed remarkable, reaching Fourth-layer Qi Refining, making you quite notable in the Celestial South Market, the Zheng Family Master is a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!"
"That’s right, Master Wang, your words are somewhat hard to believe."
Hearing this, Wang Xing did not get angry, instead bringing other Immortal Seedlings who came to the Zheng Family, among them Bai Ling’Er and Bai Mosheng stood out.
"What do you say, am I right?"
Wang Xing asked with a grin.
The two responded with laughter.
Wang Xing became even more pleased.
Once Wang Xing left, Bai Mosheng had a complex look.
He had a Mid-grade Spirit Root, cultivated in the Wang Family for years, now reaching Third-layer Qi Refining, while his sister Bai Ling’Er was slightly behind, with Second-layer Qi Refining.
At this moment.
Both of them had mixed feelings.
The immortal of past days.
Had now further advanced in the Cultivation Realm, becoming the master of this region.
Bai Mosheng pondered quietly.
Once again glancing at his sister beside him.
He thought to himself, had his sister not rejected the marriage proposal with the Immortal, perhaps their treatment today would be very different, and they might receive a few Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.
His sister might even become a Foundation Establishment cultivator like the Zheng Family’s Fifth Madam Wang Manman.
Up to now.
It was not just Bai Mosheng thinking this way; Bai Ling’Er beside him was long disheartened.
She no longer dreamed of having another chance, having accepted reality.
Simply thinking to quickly cultivate the Spirit Field, since the resources here were twice that provided by the Wang Family, it was their only chance to reach Late-stage Qi Refining.
Bai Mosheng nodded.
Seeing his sister not overly troubled by past events.
As her brother.
He occasionally felt regret, but accepted it, as opportunities are rare and elusive.
...
Days later, Zheng Yi arrived at Celestial Star Courtyard in the Celestial South Market, walking straight to Shen Yumo.
As soon as they met, it was like dry firewood met flame, intertwining passionately.
Like golden wind and jade dew meeting, sparking instant passion.
Zheng Yi was relatively passive, while Shen Yumo was extremely proactive.
After the passionate moment, Shen Yumo slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Zheng Yi with a hint of complaint in her eyes, their relationship.
Seemed no longer merely for cultivation, but genuinely had some affection.
Yet now there seemed to be no formal status.
Feelings often defy logic, plans can’t keep up with changes.
"Did you come to me for this?"
Shen Yumo asked with distant eyes.
Zheng Yi licked his lips, muttering softly: "Otherwise, I came..."
"And you said I’m impatient."
"How can it be the same?"
Shen Yumo directly flared up.
At this moment, she had completely lost the composure of a True Disciple of the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, her soft and flexible jade hands clinging to Zheng Yi, shaking him nonstop, just like a jealous girl from an ordinary family.
