Chapter 351 Expectation

Thinking that puppets are rare treasures, Kuang Zhihai was worried that if they were placed on the seabed for a long time, they would be corroded. That would be really heartbreaking, so he asked this question.

Mu Qingyin smiled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, the puppet is a magic weapon. No matter how corrosive the sea water is, it won't be corroded. If it is really broken, the materials are still there, and it won't be difficult to refine it again."

"You even know that?" They all stared at Mu Qingyin, and when they saw her nod, Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai were even more surprised.

"There is a way to refine it. It's not that difficult to refine a puppet. The more difficult part is collecting all the materials."

With so many puppets in his own space, he couldn't just never use them. So in addition to studying alchemy, Mu Qingyin also took time out to learn simple refining techniques in the past two years.

Isn't it unstoppable to learn this? Mu Qingyin unexpectedly discovered that not only was she quick at learning alchemy, she was also quick at learning weapon refining.

She thought that maybe both of them were about controlling fire, and if she mastered one, she would be able to master all of them, so she felt that neither was difficult.

She smiled and said, "If I have the chance to collect all the materials in the future, I will make a puppet for each of you. But those puppets may not be as useful as the two I have.

After all, my two puppets are both high-level. I can't make high-level puppets for the time being, so don't be disgusted when the time comes."

A gentleman is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. My grandfather and uncle do not have a secret realm like Xuanyuan Changxu, and puppets are only used in the secret realm. If I give them high-level puppets, I will worry that their puppets will be coveted by others.

So even if she gave them, when they did not have enough ability to protect themselves, Mu Qingyin would only give them low-level puppets that she had refined for herself.

"Don't mind, don't mind. It's good enough to have it. How could we mind it?"

Hearing this, both Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai were very happy and said repeatedly.

Although they both had no shortage of guards and people to serve them, they still thought it was quite interesting and prestigious to have a puppet serving tea and water. So they both looked forward to it.

Although they were looking forward to it, their reason told them that it would take a while for them to get the puppet. There were still many things to do, so they didn't dare to think too much. They quickly decided with Mu Qingyin on the time and place for the next day's departure and then went their separate ways.

That night, Mu Qingyin and Old Master Kuang went back to pack their things.

For Mu Qingyin and Old Master Kuang, since they either had a space or a Qiankun Ring, packing their luggage was too easy. They didn't have to think about what to bring or not, they just had to put everything they could use into the space or the Qiankun Ring.

In fact, ever since they had the space and the Qiankun ring or Qiankun bag, the Kuang family had gotten into the habit of preparing an extra copy of anything that might be useful.

So even if they were in a hurry, it wouldn't delay anything if they didn't pack their luggage. Moreover, Mu Qingyin had the Magic Treasure House, a travel tool that could be large or small.

So when she returned that night, Mu Qingyin simply told her personal maid to leave quietly. Her four personal maids all responded as usual and did not make any big noise because of packing for her.

Since returning from the Endless Forest, Mu Qingyin's four personal maids all knew that she was now an "immortal". Since she was an immortal, the time she spent practicing would naturally be different from that of ordinary warriors, and would be extra long.

In order not to be disturbed, Mu Qingyin would occasionally use the excuse of leaving to find another place to practice in seclusion, but in fact she went to the space to practice. After a long time, the maidservant beside her was used to covering for her, right?

Chapter 352 Speed Talisman

It was easy for Old Master Kuang to hide it from others, but it was impossible to hide it from Old Madam Kuang. So he told Old Madam Kuang that there was something important that he needed to go out quietly to do in person.

Seeing that Old Master Kuang had no intention of telling her what urgent matter he was going to do, Old Madam Kuang did not force him. She personally led people to tidy up and helped him carefully pack out all the usable things.

In the early hours of the next morning, when it was still dark, Old Master Kuang, Kuang Zhihai and Mu Qingyin had already quietly left the city through the secret passage in the mansion without anyone noticing.

Outside the city, the place where the three people came out was an ordinary-looking farm.

Without disturbing other people on the farm, the three of them went directly to the stable, where a groom was already waiting to lead out three Arabian horses for them.

The horse was also carrying several large bags of dried meat, meat patties, water bags and other easy-to-store drinking water that had been sent from the kitchen a long time ago.

"Just send it here."

The three men and three horses galloped for only more than ten miles, and when they arrived at a secluded place where no one was around, Old Master Kuang pulled the reins and stopped the horses.

He first took out all the food and water that was on the horse's back, and divided it with Mu Qingyin in half, putting it into the Qiankun Ring. Then he said to Kuang Zhihai, "Go back, otherwise how long will it take to send you back?"

"Okay, I wish Dad and Qingyin a safe journey and a speedy return." Kuang Zhihai was not a fussy person. Hearing this, he nodded and stood there holding the horse, waiting for Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin to leave first.

Old Master Kuang called Mu Qingyin and was about to mount his horse, but Mu Qingyin stopped him and said, "Grandfather, wait a moment." As she spoke, she took out two talismans and slapped them on the legs of the horses she and Old Master Kuang were riding.

"What is this?" Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai immediately looked at Mu Qingyin curiously and asked.

"The speed talisman, if used on an ordinary person, can at least help an ordinary person run thousands of miles a day. It's hard to say if it's used on a horse." After all, horses are better at running than ordinary people. With the bonus of the speed talisman, it should be no problem for them to run tens of thousands of miles, right?

Mu Qingyin calculated in her mind and said, "Traveling ten thousand miles a day shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Speedy Travel Talisman, travel ten thousand miles a day?"

Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai looked at each other in astonishment. Old Master Kuang said, "If our trip goes smoothly, doesn't that mean we can be back in just ten days or half a month?"

"That's about right."

Mu Qingyin thought for a moment and nodded before adding, "We'll know how long it takes for a one-way trip once we take the trip. I guess it should be even faster if we don't get delayed on the way."

The distance between Beixu and Wuya Forest was much closer than that between Dazhao and Wuya Forest. Even without the Speed Rune, it would only take one or two months to go back and forth.

With the help of the speed talisman, the speed increased several times. In fact, even ten days or half a month was still a bit too much.

Ten days or more than half a month? Could this speed talisman be that fast? Both Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai were silent for a moment, and then Kuang Zhihai asked again: "Qingyin, did you also refine this speed talisman yourself? How many can you refine in a month? How long can this one be used?"

"Talismans don't need to be refined, they just need to be drawn with a talisman brush. However, this kind of talisman requires cultivation to at least reach the foundation-building stage before you can learn to draw it. I practiced for a long time before, and now I can draw about a hundred at a time."

Mu Qingyin said as she took out two stacks of about a hundred Speed Run Talismans each and handed them to Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai respectively, saying with a smile, "However, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the secular world, the few spiritual stones I had before were not enough for cultivation, so I didn't dare to draw more Speed Run Talismans. Apart from these, I only have about a hundred left. This one can be used for four hours without any problem."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 353 Not Perfect

"One talisman lasts four hours, so you need to use at least two per day. It would be better to carry more of these talismans with you when you go out."

Upon hearing that Mu Qingyin only had a hundred or so Speed Talismans left behind, Kuang Zhihai quickly refused, thinking that the two of them would need this kind of thing more, saying, "Don't give me this one. I don't need it right now anyway.

Why not wait until you know exactly how many spirit stones there are in the spirit stone mine and make sure they are enough for you to practice. Then you can draw it for me in time."

"That's fine, then let Grandfather keep these for now."

He handed the speeding talismans that Kuang Zhihai had handed back to Old Master Kuang, and this time Old Master Kuang accepted them without any rejection. Then he took a look at the talismans on the horse's legs and asked, "Do we have to slap them on our legs like this when we use them ourselves?"

"Um."

Mu Qingyin nodded and added: "When the spiritual power contained in this talisman is used up, it will turn into ashes by itself. Even if it is not used up for a while, as long as it is not taken off, its spiritual power will be slowly consumed, but as long as the talisman is still there, it can still be used. But once it is taken off, it will directly turn into ashes."

"If that's the case, let's not delay any longer and just go."

When he heard that this speed talisman would start to consume spiritual energy once it was affixed, how could Old Master Kuang stay there? He immediately jumped on his horse and urged Mu Qingyin anxiously.

Mu Qingyin nodded and got on the horse. The two of them didn't even have time to say another word to Kuang Zhihai. The horse had already started running and disappeared from Kuang Zhihai's sight in the blink of an eye, leaving only two black dots, and then even the black dots disappeared.

Kuang Zhihai: "."

"Hahaha, you won't know until you try it. It's so fast. This is probably what it feels like to be flying in the clouds."

They galloped for four hours straight until the spiritual power of the speeding talisman was exhausted and the talisman automatically turned into ashes. The horse slowed down, and Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin found a place to stop and rest, drink water and eat dry food, and let the horse eat grass on its own.

Old Master Kuang finally spoke, and laughed excitedly at Mu Qingyin beside him: "The most amazing thing is that after the race, this horse doesn't seem tired at all."

It's no wonder he was excited. The horse had been running so fast before that he couldn't even speak. If he opened his mouth, a mouthful of wind would rush in, unless he used secret telepathy.

If it's not very important, why would you use secret voice transmission? How can you enjoy talking like that? So Old Master Kuang held back and didn't say a word the whole way. But even so, he was very happy. Now that he stopped, he couldn't help but tell Mu Qingyin about his feelings along the way.

Mu Qingyin did not show any impatience on her face. She listened to what Old Master Kuang said patiently, and occasionally interjected a few words. When Old Master Kuang finally stopped talking, she asked, "Grandfather, this place is close to the sea. Is it not far from our family's shipyard?"

"It's true."

He sniffed and smelled a fishy odor from the sea. Old Master Kuang looked around and found that everything he saw was unfamiliar. It was an official road similar to the one in the suburbs of Beixu Capital. There were also mountains in the distance.

He couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed: "It seems that using this speed talisman is not perfect. Look, it's so fast that we can't even figure out where we are now."

Mu Qingyin, who also had no idea where she was, said: "."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 354 Surprise

"Don't worry, we won't need to use the speed charm for a while, we can just ride slowly and ask for directions."

Seeing Mu Qingyin's rare look of bewilderment and confusion, Old Master Kuang, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't help but laugh even louder. He didn't say this until he had laughed enough.

"good."

Now there was no other good way except asking for directions. It was their first time using this speed runner, and they hadn't asked anyone to explore the way before.

It was really a mistake.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, Mu Qingyin couldn't help but laugh.

It was Old Master Kuang who went to ask for directions himself, and it went quite smoothly. Before the two of them had finished their dry food, a caravan passed by on the road. Seeing Old Master Kuang wearing the badge of a high-level Great Perfection warrior and coming to talk to him, the leader of the caravan was flattered. Not only did he answer all the questions and tell them everything he knew, he even cautiously tested them, hoping to pay a large sum of money to get them to accompany him.

In response to this, Old Master Kuang naturally rejected it without hesitation.

After asking for directions, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin quickly found the family's shipyard. They sent away all the people in the shipyard, including the manager, and then took half of the four completed ships, two large and two small, all at once.

With the boat, the two no longer had to worry about anything and could finally concentrate on their journey.

At that moment, the two of them didn't bother to look for the hidden little house that Chang Hongzheng had set up along the way to store the spirit stones, and they were only focused on getting on with their journey.

There are twelve hours in a day. Except for the four hours when they stop to rest, the two of them are on horseback for the remaining eight hours.

The two of them did not stay in a hotel during the four hours of rest. Mu Qingyin chose a secluded and deserted place to set up the formation, and then took out the magic weapon room.

With the magic house, the two of them didn't have to keep watch at night, and both the man and the horse could rest well at night. After a good rest, they didn't feel tired when traveling during the day.

The advantage of being so focused on their journey was that in just two or three days they had reached the sea near the Endless Forest.

After finding a deserted place, Old Master Kuang took out a small boat.

A sudden inspiration came to him. He thought that since the Speeding Talisman was effective for people and horses, would it also be effective for boats? With strong curiosity, Old Master Kuang put a Speeding Talisman on the boat without hesitation. Unexpectedly, with the addition of the Speeding Talisman, the boat was faster than a horse.

What surprised Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin even more was that the speed talisman, which was supposed to only last for four hours, actually took nearly six hours to become ineffective.

"Why do I feel that not only is the speed charm more durable when traveling by water, but the speed also seems to be much faster than on land?"

Standing on the deck facing the wind, feeling the real feeling of riding the wind and waves, Old Master Kuang smiled and said to Mu Qingyin: "It seems that next time, we can try to go by water to see if we can save some time."

"I don't think it's good."

Mu Qingyin thought about it and shook her head in disapproval, saying, "Grandfather, there are not many ships on the sea near the Endless Forest, so it doesn't matter how fast our ship is. But if it were somewhere else, it would arouse suspicion."

"Yes, how could I forget this in a moment of confusion?" After being reminded of this, Old Master Kuang slapped his head and laughed in annoyance, "Look at me, I am a little too proud of myself."

"Grandfather, you just didn't think of it at the moment. Even if I don't say it later, you will definitely be able to react." Mu Qingyin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Kuang burst into laughter again.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 355 Body Protection Talisman 1

The boat traveled on the sea for less than a day, and the two arrived at their destination when only half of the second speed talisman had been used.

"This place is truly worthy of its name, calling it a deserted island."

After mooring the boat, they let the two horses out to graze.

Old Master Kuang frowned as he looked at the barren mountains in front of him and the island with sparse vegetation.

But he soon felt relieved: "It's good this way. This place is deserted and there's nothing. This way no one will be interested in staying longer."

"Grandfather is right."

Although I didn't think that this island was so lonely in the vast ocean, far away from the coast. Even if it was a small island rich in resources, what was there for people to stay for long? But when Mu Qingyin's eyes were looking for the entrance where the miners were, she still smiled and agreed.

"So, everything has its pros and cons."

While Old Master Kuang was speaking, his eyes were also not idle. Like Mu Qingyin, he was looking around for the entrance described by Chang Hongzhi.

The two walked and looked around. Soon, Old Master Kuang's eyes lit up and he pointed to a place and said to Mu Qingyin, "Qingyin, look over there. Isn't that exactly what Chang Hongzheng described: two trees in front of the mountain and a big rock?"

"Let's go over and take a look and see if that's the case."

Mu Qingyin looked carefully and found that it was indeed the case. She immediately went over excitedly with Old Master Kuang.

The mechanism is easy to find, just under a big rock next to two trees.

Even though there was no one around, Mu Qingyin and Old Master Kuang still looked around cautiously. Then they moved the big stone, stomped hard on the switch under the big stone, and then watched the mountain wall in front of them slowly open - according to what Chang Hongzhi said, because he couldn't come here often, he arranged a lot of traps where the miners were. Not only to prevent outsiders from mistakenly entering, but also to prevent the people inside from running out.

According to Chang Hongzhi, if one does not have the cultivation of a mid- or high-level warrior or is brought by him personally, even if a mid- or high-level warrior comes in person and accidentally opens the entrance, he will not be able to easily enter through the mechanisms he has set up.

Although Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin did not agree with what Chang Hongzheng said, Mu Qingyin was used to being cautious. Adhering to the idea that it is better to be cautious, she still put a protective talisman on herself and Old Master Kuang respectively.

Using a protective talisman is different from using a speeding talisman. You can't just slap it on your body.

It needs to be activated with true energy, and the old man is only a high-level warrior, how can he have any true energy? So Mu Qingyin simply activated both body protection talismans in advance.

Fortunately, even if it is activated, this protective talisman can still last for at least four hours as long as it is not attacked.

Although this kind of talisman is more difficult to draw than the speeding talisman, Mu Qingyin can only draw more than ten at most when she is in good condition, and the number is really too small. But compared to letting her grandfather get into danger, Mu Qingyin would rather waste these two body protection talismans just to have peace of mind.

"Is this an armor charm?"

Seeing Mu Qingyin slapping the talisman on herself, her whole body was instantly wrapped in a thick layer of armor, but it did not look heavy. Old Master Kuang immediately became excited.

"This is a body protection talisman. However, since it requires the use of true energy to activate it, if you are not a cultivator, you can't use it even if you hold it. That's why I didn't take it out before."

"Is it a protective talisman that requires true energy to activate?" As soon as Old Master Kuang heard it, he knew that except for Mu Qingyin, no one else in the family could use this kind of talisman for the time being. He looked at the armor on his body with some regret and sighed.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 356 Body Protection Talisman 2

Seeing the disappointed look on Old Master Kuang's face, Mu Qingyin chuckled and said, "Grandfather, most of the talismans in the cultivation world need to be activated by true energy in order to be used.

Just like the speed talisman I made before, those were low-grade ones when I first started refining, so I could use them just by slapping them on my body.

Otherwise, if we really upgrade to a higher grade, even if we only use a low-level Speed Rune, we might be able to get here directly from home in just one day."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Kuang's spirits perked up, and he couldn't help but ask, "What if you also refine this body-protecting talisman into a non-grade one? Then, can you just slap it on your body to use it?"

"this?"

Mu Qingyin was stunned. It was not so easy to refine this body protection talisman. The failure rate for beginners was extremely high, and the finished product once completed was of low grade. It was not like the speeding talisman, which was easy to refine and almost never failed, but most of the finished products were not of high grade.

She had only heard that when drawing talismans, one should strive to draw them at a higher level, but she had never heard that anyone would want to draw them at no grade.

She tilted her head to think for a moment and shook her head: "No cultivator would do that. Low-level cultivators who are just beginning to learn to draw talismans can't do it. Even if cultivators who are already very skilled in drawing talismans can do it, they won't waste time doing it.

Because there is no need to do so. The world of the body-protecting talisman without rank may not be able to withstand even a single attack from a low-level cultivator.

In the secular world, the only people who can really hurt a high-level Great Perfection warrior are probably cultivators. So even if they use a levelless body protection talisman, it is of little use. "

"I was distracted. I saw this as a good thing but neglected other things."

When Old Master Kuang thought about what Mu Qingyin said, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. After laughing, he asked curiously, "Since the low-level speed talisman is faster, why didn't you use it before? After all, with you here, you don't have to worry about no one activating the low-level speed talisman, right?"

"Grandfather, it is true that the low-level speed rune is faster. But it is not suitable for ordinary people and warriors. Just because of its high speed, ordinary horses in the secular world cannot withstand such a speed.

Even if you are a high-level martial artist, at that speed, if you don't have a protective talisman, you probably won't be able to withstand the wind caused by running so fast."

Mu Qingyin sighed helplessly: "A low-level speed talisman can be used continuously for at least eight hours, but a body protection talisman can only last for half an hour at most when facing an attack."

So if they really used low-level speed talismans on this trip, Mu Qingyin would not have to do anything along the way. She would just have to follow behind her grandfather and activate the protective talismans for him.

The sad thing is that it would be fine if she had enough protective talismans, but she didn't.

"No wonder. I was wondering why there are so many good things in the cultivation world but no one from the big families uses them?"

Old Master Kuang sighed, "It turns out that it's not what I thought before. Not all of us forget about our clansmen in the secular world once we go to the world of cultivation. Even though there are many good things in the world of cultivation, we ordinary people and warriors can't use them. There's nothing we can do about it."

Mu Qingyin nodded: "That's right, for example, this speeding talisman, if it has no grade, only people who are new to talismans and not familiar with them can draw it.

But they can use it themselves even if they can't use it. Even if they know that ordinary people can use it, there is no reason to travel thousands of miles just to send it to the secular world, right?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 357 Scold

"That's what I said. So, after all, we still have to find a way to move to the cultivation world as soon as possible."

Old Master Kuang sighed: "People should visit each other more often to become closer. If everyone is closer, the connection between the cultivators in the family and the ordinary members of the family will be closer.

More importantly, being in the world of cultivation, the clan members will inevitably yearn for the cultivation of the immortals after seeing so many of them, and will practice more diligently. They will not be like some of the children of the great families in the secular world.

Although he has no spiritual roots, his family can still provide him with enough resources for cultivation, but he is unwilling to focus on cultivation. He would rather rely on eating red thorn grass to improve his cultivation to that of a warrior at the cost of not being able to advance any further. "

"Grandfather, didn't you say that one kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people? After all, cultivation is hard work. Some people don't want to cultivate and just want to enjoy the glory and wealth of this world. This has nothing to do with where he is or what his status is, right?"

Mu Qingyin was multitasking while chatting with Old Master Kuang; at the same time, she was paying attention to her surroundings, recalling the descriptions of the traps along the way written by Chang Hongzheng, and then carefully avoiding them one by one.

Old Master Kuang was the same as her. Even though he was distracted when talking to her, he avoided all the traps without any hesitation.

After the two entered the open mountain wall and pressed the switch inside to close the mountain wall, a row of torches on the mountain wall automatically lit up. So although the inside of the mountain wall was not brightly lit, it was not dark either.

And since they entered, both Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin could smell a strong smell of the sea. In Mu Qingyin's opinion, this smell of the sea at least indicated that this road full of various traps would not be too long.

Mu Qingyin's prediction was correct.

Sure enough, even though the two of them were not walking fast, they reached the end in less than a quarter of an hour.

At the end was a well-shaped cliff that was over thirty feet high and led downward. They were on the "well", and below the "well" there were a dozen men in ragged and wet clothes, with pale and skinny faces. Most of them looked to be around 40 or 50 years old, busy on a wet stone platform that was constantly washed by the sea.

Mu Qingyin looked carefully and saw that the so-called busy people were a group of three. One of them tied a long rope around his waist and went down into the sea, while the other two helped to pull and release the rope...

Although they were more than thirty feet apart, Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin could see clearly that they were all skinny. They could even see the numbness on their withered faces and their lips that were obviously cracked due to lack of water.

Old Master Kuang: "..."

Mu Qingyin: "..."

Before they came, they had guessed that these miners would not have an easy life, but what they saw was still much worse than they had imagined.

"This Chang Hongzheng is really ruthless. It's no wonder that he can safely leave people here and only come here once a year. A place like this, even if he doesn't set up traps outside. It's really not easy to get in and out if you don't have the cultivation of a mid-to-high-level warrior."

Looking at the poor miners below, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but curse angrily: "Making people work and detaining them in a place like this can be considered as because you can't come often for fear that they will run away and reveal their secrets, which is understandable.

But he was unwilling to let people have enough food and clothes, which was a lack of virtue. There were only a few people, and if he didn't give each of them a pair of waterproof leather clothes, he could at least give each of them more warm clothes. At least let them change every time they come up.

How much would it cost to leave some more food and water? No wonder he couldn't defend the spiritual stone mine here. He has committed a huge sin. Even if he had some good fortune, it would be destroyed by the resentment of these people. "

"Grandfather, look at those people in the cave on the mountain wall. Are they about to die?" Without caring about sharing the same hatred with Old Master Kuang, Mu Qingyin looked in one direction for a few times and frowned.

"Let me see."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 358 Dare not be curious

Old Master Kuang adjusted his position and looked in the direction Mu Qingyin was facing. He immediately saw that there were indeed several people lying in the slightly higher cave on the mountain wall that had been dug out to be used as a residence.

Those people had pale faces and a deathly aura, and it was obvious that they were too sick to get up and were waiting to die.

"Walk."

It was life after all. Saving lives is like saving fire. Old Master Kuang did not hesitate any longer and immediately called Mu Qingyin. The grandfather and grandson went towards the cave one after the other.

Neither Grandpa Kuang nor Mu Qingyin had expected that not only did their arrival not cause much commotion, but the few people lying in the cave at this moment looked at them and then silently withdrew their gazes without even raising their eyelids.

They didn't even ask a question out of curiosity, and it was obvious that they didn't care at all about the two people's sudden appearance here, which shocked Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin.

"."

"."

After a strange silence, Old Master Kuang coughed softly and walked towards the man closest to him. Seeing Old Master Kuang approaching, the man suddenly tensed up and opened his mouth but no words came out.

Old Master Kuang sighed inwardly. It seemed that these people were not curious about himself and Qingyin's arrival. They were really not as curious as they looked. He was just afraid that they did not dare to be curious.

But if you think about it, you can understand that the place where they are cannot be reached without a certain level of cultivation.

They behave this way, probably because they are afraid that an inappropriate response might inadvertently anger them and bring about a calamity, right?

With this in mind, Old Master Kuang took a closer look at the man's condition and took off the water bag hanging around his waist. He threw a pill of the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pill made by Mu Qingyin into it, which could even save a dying person. He shook it, then squatted down and asked, "Can you still sit up?"

Sit up? The man didn't answer, but his face showed deep sorrow. If he could still sit up, he wouldn't lie here and wait to die.

It seems that he is already sick and it is difficult for him to even sit up.

Although the other party did not answer, the expression on his face said it all. If the two of them had not come today, he would not have survived for more than two or three days. Old Master Kuang sighed, reached into his purse, and took out a small and exquisite carved bamboo cup from his Qiankun Ring. Then he poured a cup of potion containing the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill from the water bag and brought it to his lips: "Drink it if you want to live."

When his lips touched the cold rim of the cup, a sweet taste rushed into his nose. The man's throat could not help but move, and without even thinking, he opened his mouth without hesitation and let a liquid like nectar slide down his throat.

It tastes so good. How long has it been since I last tasted something like this? Even if it's poison, I still want to drink another cup.

The man sat up suddenly, not caring about anything else and staring at the water bag in Old Master Kuang's hand with extremely eager and greedy eyes.

"One cup a day is enough. If you drink too much, your body won't be able to take it anymore."

Old Master Kuang shook his head, reached out from a large leather bag that he had prepared long ago and hung around his waist, took out a meat pie and handed it over: "It would be better to give you some porridge now, but... nevermind, this is barely enough. Chew slowly and chew more before swallowing, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 359 Soft Heart

There is no need to ask, Old Master Kuang knows that these people are here and they probably don't have much good food to eat on a daily basis.

He was a little worried that the meat patties he had taken out were too oily and would give them diarrhea. But he couldn't bear not to take them out and look at their obviously starving faces.

Well, he really didn't expect this to be the case. Otherwise, if he had known this would happen, he should have told someone when he went out and asked them to bring more steamed buns and pancakes without oil or meat.

Now all he could do was wait for them to finish eating the meat patties, then let them boil a large pot of water, put a few stomach-soothing pills in it, and ask them to drink more - Old Master Kuang was still thinking of ways to remedy the situation in his mind, and he didn't notice that the man who sat up was looking at him in shock and disbelief, holding the meat pie in his hand.

Not only was he shocked, but the other people lying in the cave were also shocked to the extreme, and they were trying hard to turn their bodies towards them to look.

They swallowed their saliva unconsciously while watching. They all changed their previous numb expressions, and a gleam of hope appeared in their eyes consciously or unconsciously, with envy and longing on their faces.

Old Master Kuang didn't make them wait long. There weren't many people there. He walked over and first fed each of them a glass of water, and then stuffed a meat pie into each of them.

"Eat slowly and chew more. Otherwise, if you eat too fast, your intestines won't be able to bear it for a while." After the people in the cave drank the water and were able to sit up and had meat patties in their hands, he said this and turned away.

"My benefactor."

Just as Old Master Kuang turned around and was about to leave the cave, he heard a small whimpering sound behind him, and then the sound continued to rise and fall. Along with this sound, there was also the sound of "bang bang bang" of heavy kowtows.

Old Master Kuang paused and turned around to see that everyone was kowtowing their heads towards him and Mu Qingyin.

It was just a sip of water and a piece of meat pie, but these people were so grateful to Chang Hongzheng. What sin did Chang Hongzheng commit that he had to clean up the mess?

Old Master Kuang turned around and helplessly stretched out his hand to stop the people from kowtowing and said, "Stop kowtowing and don't call me benefactor.

Now that my Kuang family has taken over this place, you will all be members of our Kuang family from now on. I am doing this to prevent the family from suffering greater losses."

This grandfather's action was obviously very touching, but why did it suddenly become so awkward after he said that?

Old Master Kuang's words made him, who had been looking at him condescendingly, personally kneel down to feed those people potions and give them meat patties. Then he was worshipped by people in gratitude. Mu Qingyin, who was feeling all kinds of emotion about this, immediately covered his face, not wanting to see the expressions of those who were originally grateful to him.

After Old Master Kuang finished speaking to the people in the cave, he didn't pay much attention to the changes in their expressions and turned around and walked out again.

Seeing that Mu Qingyin didn't catch up immediately, he turned around to look at Mu Qingyin who was covering her face and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Mu Qingyin sighed in her heart, thinking that her grandfather was really honest, but she shook her head seriously and followed him while whispering, "I just think they are too miserable, and I can't bear to watch them any longer."

"You are just soft-hearted." Old Master Kuang smiled, with a kind look in his eyes and face, but he taught him, "Although being soft-hearted is not a bad thing, you can't be too soft-hearted."

Mu Qingyin: "."

Chapter 360 New Master

"Well, Grandfather, I'm not as soft-hearted as you. I just realized now that my soft-heartedness is actually rooted in you. It's all passed down from you."

Following Old Master Kuang, Mu Qingyin sincerely thought so at this moment. So she said this very seriously and immediately made Old Master Kuang laugh.

He smiled and glared at Mu Qingyin: "You kid, you're already so old, why are you still coaxing grandpa all day long as if you've eaten honey?"

"Who is kidding you? I am telling the truth. There is no truth truer than this." Because there were outsiders around, Mu Qingyin only muttered softly with a pout on her face showing an unconvinced look.

"Okay, okay, grandpa is wrong. What our Qingyin said is the truth. There is no truth truer than this, okay?" Old Master Kuang smiled and coaxed Mu Qingyin in a low voice, as if coaxing a child.

Mu Qingyin: "."

The cave was not far from the stone platform where the miners were working. Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin had already descended from the height as easily as walking on flat ground.

Even though those people had expressionless faces and numb expressions, they still couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on them.

Earlier, they saw that Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin went to the cave first. It was obvious that they were going to see those sick people who could not get up and were about to die. They couldn't help but feel secretly worried.

I just don't know if these two unfamiliar-looking people will be like their previous master, who is not even willing to wait for them to die, and directly orders them to go up and carry the people and throw them into the sea?

No matter how uneasy they were, those people did not dare to show it on their faces, let alone put all their thoughts on Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin.

After all, the ropes in their hands now represent the lives of their companions. If the rope moves, the companions below can't help but want to come up, and they don't notice it in time, it will cost lives.

People died in front of the new master. Thinking of how the previous master brutally threw two people into the sea who had been kneeling down because of him and accidentally killed their companions, everyone shuddered and quickly lowered their heads to stare at the rope in their hands.

"Pull up all the men."

A quick glance showed that everyone seemed numb and expressionless, but a closer look revealed panic in their eyes. Old Master Kuang sighed secretly in his heart and gave direct instructions.

"yes."

A low, sparse and trembling response sounded. Everyone on the stone platform began to pull the rope upwards with all their strength. Soon, more than a dozen people with ropes tied around their waists, blunt short-handled iron pickaxes in their hands, and confused expressions on their faces were pulled up.

Seeing their companions who pulled them up, they all knelt tremblingly in front of the unfamiliar-looking Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin. The dozen or so people did not bother to untie the ropes around their waists first, and hurriedly knelt down.

There is no need to ask, even if the faces coming here are strangers, they must be their new owners.

As to why the old master did not come this year and the new master did not come at the right time, no one dared to wonder and could only kneel and wait for the new master to pronounce the fate of them.

"Who among you is the manager here?"

At a glance, everyone was dressed similarly, and there was no one supervising them. Old Master Kuang was curious, but suddenly realized that it was a mistake for him not to meet Chang Hongzheng in person before he came.

Otherwise, why would he have no idea how Chang Hongzheng managed these people before?

".I, we don't have anybody in charge here."

There was silence for a long time. Perhaps because they were afraid that silence for too long would anger Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin, leading to consequences they could not afford, someone finally responded stutteringly.
