2371 Before leaving (1)
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After the middle-aged cultivator and the other five entered the pit, they didn’t rest for three days and continued to dig.
Tang Zhen didn’t force them. This was purely voluntary because Tang Zhen had promised that they would receive one percent of the reward.
It didn’t sound like much, but if they dug up enough, the harvest would definitely be considerable.
With this thought in mind, the six cultivators dug without rest. Because their physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, their digging speed was also very fast.
The six of them became more and more addicted as they watched the raw gemstones being dug out. They went from being passive to being willing.
Even if it didn’t belong to him, it was good to be a God of Wealth for once. At least he could satisfy his craving.
However, cultivators were also made of flesh and blood. Three days of high-intensity labor, even they could not bear it.
Tang Zhen saw that they were indeed exhausted and ordered them to stop digging. After which, they each counted their gains.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s order, the middle-aged cultivator and the other two heaved a sigh of relief and sat down in the pit. They felt as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
Although Tang Zhen did not deliberately urge them during the process of work, they could not help but do their best.
They would never believe that it wasn’t due to the control device’s influence. When had they ever been so diligent?
However, when they looked at the raw gemstones that had not been excavated, they suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with them. They felt that they should continue to excavate.
Such good things should not be buried underground. It was fine even if they did not belong to him after they were dug out.
However, since Tang Zhen had given the order, the middle-aged cultivator and the rest could not disobey. Therefore, they obediently threw away their tools and climbed out of the pit. They then began to count their gains.
After some investigation, they found out that in the past three days, each of them had harvested more than 10000 raw gemstones.
According to their previous promise, each of them would get one percent of the reward, so they would have more than a hundred in total.
After settling the score, the middle-aged cultivator and the others ‘hearts beat wildly. They did not expect to receive such a generous reward.
However, when they turned their heads around, they became worried about their personal gains and losses. They were afraid that Tang Zhen would break his promise due to his greed and would not reward them according to the promise they had made earlier.
Right now, the life and death of the six of them were all under Tang Zhen’s control. Even if he did not keep his promise, the middle-aged cultivator and the rest would not be able to do anything about it.
However, they soon knew that their worries were completely unnecessary. This was because Tang Zhen had asked them to take out the rewards according to the corresponding ratio after knowing the specific amount.
The purpose of him excavating these things was to rope in and reward his subordinates. No matter how bad they were, he could still sell them for money.
If he wanted to do big things, he couldn’t do it without money.
The middle-aged cultivator and the others looked at the raw gemstone Mine in their hands with an indescribable feeling in their hearts. The way they looked at Tang Zhen also changed.
They did not know why, but they had a faint feeling that following Tang Zhen was not a bad thing.
If Tang Zhen were to know their thoughts, he would definitely be suspicious in his heart. Did these few fellows have a problem with their heads?
After being controlled by someone, they were forced to dig for ores for three days and three nights. All of them were as tired as dead dogs.
The rewards he received were not even a fraction of the total, yet he was actually grateful. What kind of logic was this?
Little did he know that to the middle-aged cultivator and the others, these hundred-odd raw gemstones actually had an unimaginable value.
Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for them to get their hands on these raw gemstones.
However, now that he had followed Tang Zhen, he had only dug for three days and had already obtained such a generous reward.
If this matter were to spread out, it would definitely cause the envy of other cultivators. They would wish that they were also controlled by Tang Zhen.
The reason for this was that in the current cultivation world, items that contained the energy of heaven and earth were extremely rare.
Every time a treasure appeared, it would attract a bloody fight over it, which showed how high its value was.
The rewards that the middle-aged cultivator and the others received were definitely a huge sum of money, and it was the kind that was hard to buy.
It was reasonable to feel grateful.
After everyone took out their own rewards, Tang Zhen used his storage equipment to put away the remaining raw gemstones.
After seeing this scene, the middle-aged cultivator and the others were filled with envy. At the same time, they were also very curious about Tang Zhen’s identity.
“Let’s have a meal and then leave this place. I still have something very important for you to do.”
While Tang Zhen was speaking, he immediately controlled the vines in the forest to tie up a wild boar nearby and drag it over.
As they watched the wild boar being strangled to death by the vines, the middle-aged cultivator and the others recalled the scene of them being captured and couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.
If Tang Zhen had used such a move back then, they would not have been able to resist at all. They would have likely turned into a pile of bones.
Tang Zhen was in charge of bringing the food over. The middle-aged cultivator and the rest were in charge of what was to be done.
Because they often entered the deep mountains and old forests in search of natural treasures, all the cultivators were skilled in handling wild game.
The six of them worked together, and it didn’t take long for the wild boar to be cleaned up.
Then, he placed a wooden stick on the rack and started roasting over the fire.
In the burning flames, the wild boar’s oil kept dripping. After applying the natural seasoning, it actually smelled quite good.
Tang Zhen had eaten wild boar meat before. He knew that if this kind of food wasn’t cooked well, the taste wouldn’t be particularly good.
This wild boar was roasted quite well, but how would it taste?
After the food was cooked, the middle-aged cultivator and the others invited Tang Zhen to sit down. Then, they cut off the fattest and tender piece of meat and respectfully sent it to him.
These guys were all smart. After understanding their situation, each and every one of them was very well-behaved.
Only by coaxing Tang Zhen to be happy would their days be better. After all, one would not slap a smiling person.
However, if they acted like punching bags, it was very likely that they would anger Tang Zhen and even directly take their lives.
Tang Zhen secretly laughed in his heart when he saw the middle-aged cultivator and the rest being so cautious. However, he did not explain much.
It was actually a good thing to be able to keep them in awe, as it would be more convenient to use.
He picked up a piece of barbecued meat and tasted it. It melted in his mouth, and the taste was far better than he had imagined.
“This meat is not bad!”
Tang Zhen glanced at the middle-aged cultivator and the rest before he nodded and praised.
Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile on their faces.
“Master, you don’t know this, but I learned my barbecue skills from an old hunter and have studied it deeply.
If the tools and ingredients are complete, the taste will be even better. If there’s a chance next time, I’ll definitely make it for you to try.”
The one who spoke was the smiling Tiger. His tone carried a hint of flattery, but the middle-aged cultivator and the others didn’t despise him.
They were now grasshoppers tied to a rope. If they could make Tang Zhen happy, it would naturally be beneficial to them.
The originally scheming fellow disciples had now become unusually United. This kind of thing was simply unimaginable in the past.
“Don’t just stand there, everyone, hurry up and eat!”
Tang Zhen beckoned. The middle-aged cultivator and the others also began to cut the meat. After three days and three nights of being busy without sleep and rest, they had long been hungry.
Now that they smelled the fragrance of the roasted meat, how could they resist it? they all buried their heads and ate.
