The black clouds were surging, the wind was whistling in his ears, and suddenly a purple gold thunder light struck his body, and Xue Tong fell from the clouds with an upside-down onion...

He woke up and found that it was just a dream of Nan Ke.

Early in the morning, Xue Tong walked like a fly, came to the stone field an hour in advance, cut the bluestone, and the carrying volume increased from sixty to two hundred, making his life difficult all of a sudden.

The tasks of the others did not increase in the slightest, which made Xue Tong feel even more uneasy and nervous, and he had an ominous premonition that an invisible net was slowly tightening towards him.

It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Xue Tong finished moving the last piece of bluestone.

"Seven hours of hard work from morning till night!" Xue Tong had a feeling that his skeleton was about to fall apart.

Exhausted, he returned to the stone house, barely bracing his spirits, trying to regain his strength by running the Spirit Gathering Technique.

But the mana in the meridians could no longer be reborn, his vitality was almost exhausted, and his body was in urgent need of rest.

The next day, the situation became more and more bad, and Xue Tong did another half an hour.

"The surname Xue won't be able to move in a few days, and it will collapse!" Zheng Long said triumphantly to Qi Jun.

"Well, Brother Heilong is right, the guy surnamed Xue is the same as the guy last time, he has to die of exhaustion in ten days and a half months! Ha ha. ”

"The kid is still stiff, and he won't be able to jump for a few days!"

……

However, to their surprise, another day passed, and Xue Tong's state seemed to be better.

"What's going on? Xue Tong was obviously more energetic than yesterday. Peng Tai noticed the abnormality, called Zheng Long, and asked.

"Back to light?" Zheng Long guessed.

"Fart, you're just a stupid pig, keep an eye on Xue Tong from today onwards, if he doesn't finish, you and Qi Jun will always be with you!"

Peng Tai returned to the house early, and Zheng Long and Qi Jun kept observing Xue Tong after they finished it, and they didn't dare to let go of any details.

Xue Tong always sat upright and practiced, motionless.

Zheng Long was impatient to ask several times, but he was pulled back by Qi Jun, "Brother Long, wait, the longer he cultivates, the less time he has to move stones, whatever!" ”

Just after the end of the hour, a man came from the west.

"Xiong Jing! What is he here for? Zheng Long glared at Qi Jun and asked.

"I don't know, this person is at odds with the boss, what is he doing here?"

It wasn't until Xiong Jing lifted the bluestone that the two of them suddenly realized.

"Xiong Jing! What do you mean by helping Xue Tong work?" Zheng Long rushed forward and asked.

Xiong Jing pursed his lips and said disappreciably: "It's not interesting, Xue Tong spent money to invite me, it's not illegal to move stones."

Xiong Jing's force is higher than Zheng Long's, and he will not take him seriously.

Xue Tong seemed to be smiling on the side, and teased: "The sect advocates mutual assistance among disciples, Xiong Jing helps me out of friendship with the same sect, I will spend some spirit stones, you have no opinion."

"You..., you!"

Zheng Long was speechless for a while, pointed at the two and threatened: "You wait, I'll call Boss Peng."

"You go, don't forget to tell Peng Tai that he can't manage the law enforcement hall that plays yin, but if he prevents me from finding someone to help, then the law enforcement hall will definitely be able to manage it."

"Well, Brother Xue said it well, when the time comes, I, Xiong Jing, will also go to sue together!"

Xue Tong asked Xiong Jing to move the stone at the price of one spirit stone every two days, and the price given by Xue Tong was not low, and the miscellaneous servant monthly salary was five yuan, and he offered three times the price.

Xiong Jingben sympathized with Xue Tong, and had spirit stones to earn, so he was happy to help each other, Xue Tong left after moving a hundred square stones every day, and hurried back to the house to practice.

He had twenty-five spirit stones in his hand, which was enough to drag on for a month or two.

……

Twelve days later, Cuiwei Peak.

The residence of Shen Chuanpeng, a disciple of the outer sect of the deacon hall.

"Brother Shen, do you know Yanwutang Zhou Yan?"

"Zhou Yan? Are you talking about Zhou Yan of the inner door of the martial arts? I haven't dealt with him, I've only heard of this person. ”

Shen Chuanpeng was secretly surprised, not to mention that Xue Tong had grown taller and stronger, and his demeanor and spirit had obviously aged a lot.

Xue Tong recounted the ins and outs and explained: "I was worried about all kinds of traps after joining the club, such as sending me to do things that were not good for Brother Zixiong and Brother Shen, so I hesitated again and again that day and did not agree to join the club."

"Hmm~" Shen Chuanpeng's face became solemn and paced back and forth in the room.

"Zixiong and I are indeed members of the Jingwu Regiment, but I don't think Zhou Yan is coming at the two of us, his status is much higher, there is no need to deal with the two of us through you."

"It's more likely that he really loves talents and is looking for new people for the Cangliu Society."

"Oh, then I joined the Cangliu Society, will I have a conflict with the two eldest brothers in the future?" Xue Tong was still not at ease and asked.

"It is obvious at a glance that Cangliu will secretly compete with the Jingwu Regiment, and there will be constant discord, but as far as I know, the real big conflict between the two sides has never happened. The two alliances each have 500 disciples, how can it be so coincidental that we happen to encounter you?"

"What you need to worry more about is why Hong Tianyou suddenly asked for a change of group and instructed Peng Tai to murder you!"

"Yes, I'm nobody, Hong Tianyou changed the group inexplicably, and the Jinglan branch directly assigned tasks, could it be that these echoes and strings together with the original assignment of the stone field?" Xue Tong reminded.

“… Lu Huanzhi, this damn bastard again?!" Shen Chuanpeng pondered for a moment, his face suddenly turned yellow, and he scolded.

"Lu Huanzhiyuan and Senior Brother Chen are both disciples of the outer gate of the Deacon Hall, this thief is very talented, two years ago he refined to the martial arts and became a martial artist, and went straight to the inner door, Lu Buxi has a lot of chores in the Deacon Hall, and he found an opportunity to switch to the elder Tang Yiming of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, because he had a deep grudge with Senior Brother Chen in his early years, and he has suppressed Senior Brother Chen many times after being promoted to the inner door."

"Martial disciple Dacheng, that is a higher existence than Zhu Qingling and Zhou Yan." Xue Tong's expression changed when he heard this, and he sighed.

"Well, besides, there is Elder Tang behind him." Shen Chuanpeng said resentfully.

"From this point of view, Zhou Yan and I can't be offended, if he is angry and goes to Hong Tianyou's place to increase the weight, then my life will be at rest." Xue Tong said.

"Well, you go to meet him quickly with the name post, and agree to all his requests, Zhou Yan doesn't know the inside story, now is the best time!"

"As for the hidden dangers in the future, don't worry, if the current crisis is not eliminated, how can we talk about the future?!" Shen Chuanpeng's words are clear.

……

When Xue Tong returned to the stone house, it was already midnight.

He borrowed two hundred spirit stones from Zhou Yan, went to the inner market to buy two quenching bone pills, and hurried back, preparing to take advantage of the rest day in the middle of the moon the next day to take the pill again.

Zhou Yan promised to repair a letter and reminded Hong Tianyou that Xue Tong was the person he was optimistic about, so please take care of it.

……

Xue Tong was half working and half cultivating, and he stayed up until the end of the month.

On the last day, he paid Xiong Jing an extra spirit stone and said, "Brother Xiong, if you don't use it next month, your group's task will definitely improve, so that you can't take care of yourself and have no time to help me."

"Well, can you do it all by yourself?"

"It should be almost, roughly able to cope with the past."

"Well, be careful."

……

"The kid has no one to help, and this month is the time of death." Zheng Long pointed to Xue Tong, who was sawing stones in the field, shook his head and said.

"Well, the surnamed Xue spent money to buy his life, lived for an extra month, and now he is either out of the house or exhausted!" Pang Likun echoed.

Xue Tong's black rin saw sawed through dozens of bluestones one after another, and took out two bundles of purple core fern ropes common in the tool room.

He skillfully tied two pieces of bluestone tightly, hung them on both ends of hemp iron rods, and connected the stones with sticks to build a pair of burdens weighing a thousand catties.

In the past month, his mana has increased dramatically, especially after taking the second bone quenching pill, it has improved by leaps and bounds, and the mana retained in the meridians has continued to increase, often a small increase in three days, and a large increase in five days, his divine consciousness has been swept in his body, and the meridians have become significantly thicker and wider than a month ago.

And the strength of his skeletal muscles is also not comparable to a month ago, mana brute force is a two-pronged combination, and picking up a thousand catties of stone has become a trivial matter.

But Xue Tong swayed, the burden almost overturned, he struggled to hold the iron rod, barely stood still, and carried the burden to the yard.

"Hmph, whimsical, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and this method can also be thought of!"

"Haha, the surname Xue has a strong desire to survive, but this can't save him."

Zheng Long and the three of them burst into laughter.

Xue Tong pretended to be pretentious, spending most of his time cultivating, dragging his feet until the day was approaching the West Mountain, and when the last three people left, Fang strode through the stone field, and finished the remaining forty percent of the work.

Xue Tong was mixed up for two days, and on the morning of the third day, he picked up a few loads of bluestones, and suddenly fell, the skin on his knees was worn out, and a red blood stain oozed out.

His face turned pale and he came to Peng Tai, who had been sitting under the tree almost all day long.

The branches are luxuriant, the canopy is towering, the tree is a forest, the roots of the tree are bare and meandering, and the branches and dragon claws hang down hundreds of aerial roots.

Xue Tong pleaded: "Boss, the stone can't be moved, please show me a way out."

Peng Tai indifferently saw it, raised his palm slightly, and slashed out in the oblique stab. ”

The huge cyan wind blade rose out of thin air and slashed diagonally, and the thick banyan tree gas roots at the mouth of the bowl were cut off and fell to the ground.

"It's such a powerful wind blade technique, the boss's martial arts, it's one of the best among the miscellaneous disciples." Xue Tong praised with reverence on his face.

"Aren't you a lot of spirit stones, continue to invite people." Peng Tai said coldly.

"I can't help Xiong Jing, who I invited, and I don't dare to ask the boss to reduce the number."

"I can't help you, if you have the ability to go to the deacon hall and beg for mercy, beg them to let you go." Peng Tai's words are true, it is not he who wants to kill Xue Tong.

"Boss, what do you think of this? The group will help me complete the task, and I will find a way to raise some spirit stones?" Xue Tong pleaded.

"Oh, you still have spirit stones?" Peng Tai's eyes flickered, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I asked my fellow to borrow thirty, and I plan to ask the boss, Heilong, and Qi Jun to make a move, and I will talk about it for two months."

Xue Tong endured humiliation and showed weakness, just because he couldn't be sure whether he could beat Peng Tai or not, he could show his strength and easily complete the daily task, but this would inevitably lead to a backlash, maybe Peng Tai would set up a game to harm himself.

"The time has not yet come, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he has to endure it again." Xue Tong made up his mind.

"It's not impossible to ask us for help, but the price needs to be doubled, one spirit stone a day." Peng Tai looked condescending, as if he was speaking to a poor worm who was to be slaughtered.

He is very short of spirit stones, and there is no reason why the fat sheep sent to the door are not squeezed dry.
