Chapter 17 - district 18

"It seems that I made the right choice to temporarily give up improving the black mark and comprehensively focus on increasing my strength. Facts have shown that all means must serve the improvement of strength."

After realizing the huge benefits brought by the increase in strength, Su Zhan clarified his subsequent development route.

Strength.

Strength.

Still strength!

Mining efficiency requires strength.

Survival and self-preservation require strength.

Killing people and obtaining goods requires strength.

As long as you have sufficient strength, even if you are just standing there, others will have to respect you!

The black mark needs to be upgraded, but the improvement of his own realm is more important… Only with a high enough level of strength can he ensure sufficient profits and bring about unimaginable sustainable development!

"A month."

"In no more than a month, I can upgrade to the third level of the mortal realm."

"When that time comes, when I face the fourth level of the mortal realm again, it won't be me who is afraid, but he should be afraid of me!"

"After that, it will be time to hit the fourth level of the mortal realm. The watershed level is extremely difficult. Countless cultivators have been trapped there for ten or twenty years, and some cannot cross it in their lifetime… But with my qualifications and with the help of a huge amount of spirit stones, I will definitely succeed within three months!"

Before the third level, as long as you choose to break through after reaching a certain level of cultivation, there is a 90% probability of success.

But to reach the fourth level, you need not only cultivation but also understanding, strength, and talent… Therefore, the success rate for most people plummets to 10% or even 1%.

In a word, the more difficult it is to break through, the greater the benefits after success.

Su Zhan's qualifications are not bad. What is lacking is time, energy, and spirit stones to assist acceleration.

As long as the conditions are met, the fourth level is not a problem for him at all!

"Now I have 330 spirit stones left. With a daily income of 600 spirit stones, I can easily upgrade to the sixth stage tomorrow… I hope there will be more powerful new functions this time."

"And since I already have the benefit of these spirit stones, there is no need to save them. Just continue to enjoy the benefits!"

Immediately, Su Zhan once again absorbed spirit stones and began to practice without hesitation.

...

Dang~~dang~~~dang~~~

The finishing bell rang.

After playing all day, the supervisors, who were still not satisfied, began to pack up and prepare to leave.

The joy of winning money.

Those who lost money were full of resentment.

Yin Tiancheng was full of resentment.

"Damn it, are they cheating? How come they are so accurate?"

Yin Tiancheng was in a particularly bad mood.

Today he was miserably defeated.

Not only did he lose all his spirit stones, but he even owed hundreds more.

"I have to squeeze those guys under my thumb, or I won't even get my food tonight."

Yin Tiancheng was thinking this when suddenly...

"Supervisor Yin, I want to transfer to a different mining area." A voice came from behind him.

Yin Tiancheng's face darkened, and anger surged in his heart.

He had lost money and was in a bad mood, and now someone wanted to change mining areas?

Transferring to a mining area requires a handover, which means sending subordinates to another supervisor's mining area without prior notice. If others are unwilling to accept them, the requester has to be humble… Therefore, unless given enough benefits and prior notification, miners don't usually ask supervisors to transfer them.

The voice behind him sounded unfamiliar and young, and he knew he had never met the speaker before. It was a young boy.

And that's not even the point.

Who among his subordinates didn't know that calling him "Supervisor Yin" was taboo?

It sounds unlucky, associated with the underworld.

Whoever dared to say it, Yin Tiancheng dared to make trouble for them!

'Very good, you dare to touch my reverse scales, right? '

'The target of today's oppression is you, a brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. How dare you, brat, to be as big as me in the future? '

Yin Tiancheng turned around with a sneer.

A set of harsh words and scolding were ready to be unleashed!

But the moment he turned around...

The sneer on Yin Tiancheng's lips froze.

His expression tightened.

His pupils dilated.

The curses that were almost rushing to his throat were swallowed back in one go!

"You…you…have you broken through to the second level?"

Yin Tiancheng looked at the expressionless young man in front of him, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He felt the aura of the second level of the mortal realm coming towards him and spoke tremblingly, his tone full of caution.

What reverse scale?

What bad mood?

Nothing big or small.

At this moment, all his negative emotions disappeared, leaving only fear!

At the same time, he was also full of confusion.

He recognized the boy in front of him.

Su Zhan, a newcomer who arrived more than a month ago.

The reason for this impression is that another supervisor, Li Lichang, once approached him and wanted him to kill Su Zhan.

Unfortunately, one of Li Lichang's close associates was Yin Tiancheng's mortal enemy. It would be an exaggeration to call him an enemy.

So Yin Tiancheng refused on the spot without hesitation and even threatened to retaliate if anyone dared to touch his subordinates!

He never thought that his rejection at that time would save his life today.

"Yes, I just broke through today. In my case, I have to take the initiative to report and transfer to a mining area for the second level, right?" Su Zhan said calmly.

"That's right! Which mining area do you want to transfer to, Lord Su? I'll report it for you now!" Yin Tiancheng nodded and bowed quickly, his attitude very respectful.

This was a mining area.

Opposite him stood a second-level mortal realm cultivator!

If Su Zhan really wanted to kill this supervisor, the higher-ups wouldn't say a word… The reason is very simple. The daily income generated by a second-level mortal realm cultivator is much more than that of a first-level mortal realm supervisor who can only pretend to be powerful and eat and have fun every day!

"Go to District 18," Su Zhan said.

"District 18? That mining area is relatively poor. Otherwise, I could transfer you to District 9? I have an acquaintance among the supervisors in that area, and I guarantee a smooth transfer!" Yin Tiancheng smiled and flattered, "I just hope that when you go there, you won't forget me."

It was a great opportunity for him to have a second-level mortal realm cultivator under his command!

In the future, he could walk with his head held high in the first-level mining area and be superior to others.

And fortunately, he had never bullied this young man. Even if he didn't have a good impression, at least it wasn't a bad one… He must seize this opportunity.

"I'll remember your kindness," Su Zhan said, "But I still want to go to District 18."

"Okay, go to whichever district you prefer, and I promise to help you get it done!" Yin Tiancheng smiled when he heard this.

As for why Su Zhan insisted on going to a barren mining area, he didn't care, and he didn't dare to ask.

...

The next day.

Su Zhan met one of the supervisors in District 18, Shi Zhixin, and easily transferred to his command without any effort.

Unlike the treatment of miners who arrived at the second level.

Shi Zhixin was obviously very friendly to Su Zhan.

He explained things in person and led the way himself, and the smile on his face never stopped.

After all, this was a mine. Mining alone was exhausting, not to mention the dangers of the law of the jungle… Very few people could break through to the next realm under such circumstances, and their cultivation qualifications were extraordinary.

In the future, there was a high probability that they could break through to the third level, or even the fourth level, and become a member of the punishment team!

Naturally, Yin Tiancheng wanted to curry favor, and Shi Zhixin wanted to make friends.

This is the benefit of improving strength!

"District 18 is District 18. Such a large mine will be mine in the future."

The mining area for the second level was essentially the same as the first level.

The only difference was that the number of second-level mortal realm cultivators was dozens of times fewer than that of the first level… Each person could dig more places, ensuring the output of second-level cultivators.

This was also the reason why Su Zhan took the initiative to change the mining area.

Not long after, Su Zhan carried a hoe, away from the crowd, and entered a relatively remote and uninhabited mine.

He waved his hand, and ten black shadow clones quietly emerged.

"Little blacks, dig!"
