The cultivation of this world is heavily dependent on resources, although Ye Yi's remuneration is very considerable, but compared to those children who were born in big families, Yang Su's speed of entering the realm is even slower than that of a turtle.

The resources in the hands of those sons are inexhaustible, even if it is a waste material, it can be filled into a high-level waste material by the spirit stone. If one of them has a slight qualification, they will inevitably immediately become a genius in Heavenly Sword City, and these people can break through to the cultivation of the ground level at a young age, and only they know the cost of resources behind them. Those talented children of the Hanmen could only say in front of them, "Gongzi is really amazing, unparalleled in the world, rare in the world, and will become a great weapon in the future." ”

There are many geniuses who are so flattered in the four major families, but there are only a handful of them who can really become great things, and most of them will eventually stop at the ground level, unable to go further, there is a vast space between heaven and earth, and this vast space can not be filled simply with resources.

Yang Su's new job is very simple, which is to guard the sentry of the Spirit Mine. There are two people under him, one is a middle-aged man, named Shen Pingzhang, mature and steady, and his cultivation is not low, he is close to the peak of the ground level, he is at this age, and he is from a poor family, it is not easy to have this cultivation. The other is called Ye Lang, a cousin of Ye Yi, his qualifications are not bad, he is at the prefecture level at a young age, and he is a standard genius in the city, so he is used to being touted by others, and he always has a temper, which makes Yang Su a headache.

Ye Lang's father, Ye Jun, is an elder who seems to be quite generous, and he also strongly supports Ye Yi, the head of the family, so the two families are relatively close.

Yang Su is still a yellow-level monk, and the spirit stones he can receive every month are really limited, going to the wasteland to venture to hunt the inner dan of the desolate beasts, and then going to the market to exchange for spirit stones, is a good way to improve, but with this bit of cultivation, he can only barely kill the lowest-level desolate beasts, and stop eating when he encounters a little stronger.

Most of the days of guarding the mountain are boring, so Yang Su found a lot of books to pass the time and learn some practical techniques. Through these studies, he not only understood most of the wild beasts and mastered the skills of hunting, but also had his own opinions on the use of spirit stones. Of course, he is also very interested in the scenery and people of this world, and the strange things.

Shen Pingzhang usually doesn't talk much, but in the early morning, he climbed up to the sentry early, and one stop is all day, every time Yang Su looks at him, he is looking at the direction of the west in a daze, looking preoccupied. At dusk, he would walk down from the sentry post and return to Heavenly Sword City, and he seemed to be reluctant to do anything more than fulfill the necessary responsibilities.

Yang Su suddenly became interested in this person, and when Shen Pingzhang walked down, Yang Su took the initiative to come up and said that he would invite him to a restaurant in the city for a drink. Shen Pingzhang was a little flattered, and naturally did not refuse this kindness.

After drinking, the middle-aged man also talked more.

"When the children of the Han Sect of Heavenly Sword City get together, they are all talking about you, and it is not easy to change from a slave to a dragon slaying boy. ”

Yang Su just smiled, he was not surprised, Heavenly Sword City was so small, and he made such a big move, this kind of thing couldn't be hidden if he wanted to hide it.

"Actually, I'm not as good as everyone thinks. ”

"Either way, you've done something for them that would never have been possible, and you've given them hope. Shen Pingzhang seemed to think of something sad, raised his head and drank a full glass of wine, and continued, "When I was young, I also looked forward to meeting an inspirational hero like you, and then follow his footsteps and keep moving forward, but when I am older, I no longer have this ambition." ”

The prosperity of Heavenly Sword City outside the window is still there, and Yang Su said lightly: "People should learn to be themselves." ”

"You're right, in the end, the only thing you can do is yourself. But there are countless dark stories behind this bustling city, and those who are caught in the stories are too pitiful if they face a miserable self all day long. Sometimes, good sustenance is also a good medicine for healing, even if it can't save people's lives, at least it can relieve pain. ”

Yang Su took a sip of wine and thought for a while, he could feel the despair in Shen Pingzhang's words, why did this leader in the poor family have such a frustrated mood. He asked, "You also have a dark story?"

Shen Pingzhang said with a smile: "Of course there is, how could it not be? This Heavenly Sword City looks calm as usual, but in fact, there are turbulent waves hidden underneath, and dark stories are happening all the time. Heavenly Sword City is very small, there are not enough spirit mines, and the cruel elimination has been going on, I am lucky, my cultivation qualifications are very good, and I have become a disciple of the Ye family, my brother and sister-" Shen Pingzhang choked up a little when he said this, he turned his head to wipe away his tears, and continued, "They don't have good qualifications like mine, so my parents left them in the wilderness overnight. ”

"You look in the direction of the west every day, are you waiting for your brother and sister?"

"No, I know that they must have become food for the beasts, I just don't want to forget this pain, so that I will remember to save the spirit stones, and when the spirit stones in my hands are enough to support a pair of children, I will go to find a wife I like, give birth to a son and a daughter, and then raise them well, regardless of whether they have the qualifications to cultivate or not. ”

"If your children can't cultivate, how can they support themselves? ”

Shen Pingzhang smiled sadly and said: "The poor family, who cares about the future, the elimination in this city will not stop, and when the day comes, maybe the children of the four major families will be difficult to continue to parasitize in the family, not to mention us children of the poor family." ”

After saying that, both of them sighed and toasted each other with a glass of wine.

Yang Su sent the drunken Shen Pingzhang back to his home, the most magnificent in the northeast of Heavenly Sword City is naturally the palace of the Ye family, although it is not as good as the palace, it is not inferior, the red-walled courtyard, vermilion lacquer and green tiles. Shen Pingzhang's house is just a small earthen house under the courtyard wall, a little old, badly damaged, and his parents still live in the house.

The old man sent Yang Su out of the door very enthusiastically, and he had just walked a short distance when he heard a burst of scolding from the earthen house, in the eyes of the old man, Shen Pingzhang was always an unsuccessful child.

The streets of Heavenly Sword City were already very dark, and Yang Su stood alone in the cold wind, thinking about some questions. Ye Yi appeared behind him at some point, and asked with a smile, "What is a person thinking about standing here stupidly?"

Yang Su said: "I just thought, maybe we should organize forces to go out of the city to hunt and fight for more resources." ”

Ye Yi said: "You just like to think and come up with some weird ideas. ”

Yang Suzheng said: "I have thought it through this time, I am willing to lead the team personally, I don't need the Ye family's people, I just need to borrow some spirit stones from the Ye family to recruit warriors." ”

Ye Yi circled around him three times, such a big thing, she had to think carefully.

Yang Su said: "The reason why the four major families are reluctant to organize a large-scale hunt is because they don't want to sacrifice the power to guard the Spirit Mine Mountain Range, and they don't want to take the disaster of exterminating the clan that may result from accidental risks. If I do this, our Ye family only needs to give me and Shen Pingzhang, and I am willing to give a part of the proceeds to the Ye family as compensation. ”

Ye Yidao: "What you said is also right, but if you do this, the balance of Heavenly Sword City will be broken, which is a situation that none of the four major families want to see, so they will unite to deal with you, how can you deal with it?"

Yang Su was silent for a long time, this was a situation he didn't consider, thinking about it like this, this Heavenly Sword City was really complicated. He glanced back in the direction of the west gate of the city, and someone took advantage of the darkness to walk out of the city gate, and his heart was completely tugged, "If they really want to deal with me, I have to sacrifice my life." ”

"Since you've made your own decision, I'll help you. The cold wind swept over, Ye Yi shivered, and said softly, "If you have time, we can go to Xingyue Lake again to have a look, where the Luoying Ju will not wither all year round." ”
