Chapter 19: The Dilemma (Part 2)

On a remote mountain wall, Zhang Meng stood opposite the black shadow from last time.

"You are becoming more and more presumptuous, when did Hao Mingli provoke you, you actually shaved off his hair and eyebrows, and tied them to the tree in front of the 'smelting room', you think that others are stupid, if I hadn't pressed it down, you would have been found out a long time ago, and you can still be as lively as now. The black shadow's voice was low, but the anger contained in it Zhang Meng would not be able to hear it.

"Why, are you pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of me?" the dark shadow's voice grew darker and darker.

"The third uncle knows everything, what else does Meng'er have to say. Zhang Meng pouted.

"Don't think you can fool around like this, are you doing this for the sake of that kid surnamed Xie?" said the Black Shadow.

"The surname is Xie, Meng'er doesn't know what the third uncle said!" Zhang Meng was stunned in her heart, knowing her third uncle's character, she wouldn't admit it if she was killed.

"You don't admit it, hehe, you are so bold, you actually dare to pass on the 'Water Spirit Formula' of your clan to outsiders privately, let your uncle know that you still want to live!" The voice of the black shadow was as sharp as a blade, which made Zhang Meng tremble in his heart, thinking of the uncle who didn't recognize his six relatives, a chill rose from his back, and his clothes were soaked in an instant.

"Third uncle, I know you despise Meng'er, please don't tell Uncle Sù, otherwise he will die. Zhang Meng fell to her knees and cried.

"Hmph, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Even if you don't think about yourself, have you forgotten your parents who have protected the ancestral spirit for your life!" Black Shadow paused.

"Meng'er doesn't dare to forget!" Zhang Meng said with a shudder.

"I haven't forgotten, hehe, for the sake of a stinky kid, I have made big mistakes again and again, it seems that this place is no longer suitable for you, in order to prevent you from continuing to make mistakes, I will have you transferred tomorrow, you go back and think about it!"

In the gravel field, Xie Ling swept around with his divine sense, and found that there were no outsiders, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, he was not going to this place today to cultivate the 'Water Spirit Technique', but was going to try the progress of the 'Nian Shen Technique' during this time.

His gaze fell on the mountains of black iron ore, his divine sense swept over, and he randomly selected a piece of black iron ore and wrapped it in his divine thoughts and pulled it towards him.

At this time, if anyone was nearby, they would definitely be surprised to see a piece of black iron ore weighing about fifty catties slowly flying towards Xie Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The black iron ore landed steadily in the void in front of him, and suddenly there was a muffled sound, and the black iron ore split apart from it, but surprisingly, the cracked ore did not fall to the ground, and it was suspended in the air after falling slightly.

The next eight pieces of ore flew in the air like headless flies, and they were so varied that at first they could see clearly, but then as they became faster and faster, they saw a black shadow with a diameter of a few feet flickering in the air.

Then the shadows slowly became clearer, and the tracks of eight pieces of black iron ore of different sizes could be seen, but this time they seemed to be closing inward, yes, they were indeed closing, and they were returning to the way they were before they shattered.

Xie Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, frowned, and then the re-closed black ironstone mine in the air gently landed on the ground in front of him.

Xie Ling stroked it with his hand, it was as smooth as a mirror, and there was not a trace of crack in the lines, as if it had never been broken.

Xie Ling used his divine thoughts to move it from the ground to the mid-air outside Zhang Xu, and suddenly cut off his mental power, and the black iron ore fell from it without accident and slammed it on the ground.

The black iron ore shattered on the ground, and although it looked the same as before, the internal tightness was far less than before, and they were only symbolically pieced together under the influence of telekinesis.

Xie Ling was not annoyed, after all, his cultivation time was limited, and it was far beyond his expectations to be able to reach the current Cheng Dù. He blinked, it seemed that it was time to exchange the second layer of 'Nian Shen Technique' to huàn.

Early the next morning, when Xie Ling arrived at the gravel yard, he found that the atmosphere was a little different today, and when he was about to ask Qin Pei and Long Xiang what happened, Hao Mingli walked over with a smile on his face.

"I heard that Senior Brother Xie passed the assessment yesterday, congratulations!"

"Thank you Senior Brother for the compliment, there are still many places for Senior Brother to learn from Senior Brother!" Xie Ling bowed, respectful and humble on the surface, but in his heart he thought that the weasel was giving New Year's greetings to the chickens, and he was definitely not at ease.

"Senior Brother Xie doesn't know, in two months, I will go to the 'Fire Refining Room', Senior Brother is now a junior apprentice, I am very optimistic about you!" Hao Mingli glanced at Qin Pei who was not far away, and said loudly.

"It turns out that Senior Brother is already an intermediate instrument apprentice, congratulations, but yesterday Senior Brother Qin was also admitted to the junior instrument apprenticeship, he has more experience than me, and he is in charge here, I think it will only be better." Senior brother, you said yes!" Xie Ling thought about it for a long time, it turned out that he wanted to provoke the relationship between me and Qin Pei, if you succeed, would I still use it in the 'Refining Academy'!"

"Senior brother is too modest, but you and I can't be the master of this matter, Uncle Cui and his old man have their own arrangements. After Hao Mingli finished speaking, he patted Xie Ling's shoulder, looking very intimate, and then left with a smile on his face.

After Hao Mingli left, the trial students who usually walked closer to him in the gravel field surrounded him to congratulate him on leaning on the junior apprentice, and they were all envious.

Xie Ling saw that the situation was getting more and more wrong, he looked to the other side, and saw that Qin Pei also happened to look over, the two looked at each other and smiled, Xie Ling knew that if some things were not solved as soon as possible, they would be left behind, just like a crack in the black iron ore, it would only get bigger and bigger.

As soon as Hao Mingli left, the only people in the gravel field who were qualified to take his place were himself and Qin Pei. To say that Xie Ling didn't want it to be fake, the monthly contribution points of the person in charge of the gravel yard were several times that of the trial students of the ordinary stone gravel field, although he and Qin Pei were already junior apprentices, if they did not have a real job, they were still the same as ordinary trial students, and there was no difference in the reward of contribution points.

If it wasn't Xie Ling's character, he wouldn't be grateful to Qin Pei, so that the two sides would have nothing to do on the surface, but in fact, there would be an invisible estrangement.

Xie Ling grew up lonely since he was a child, and he cared about his friends very much, and he couldn't do it if he wanted him to fight. Now I'm really in a dilemma!
