Chapter 45: Low-grade Wood Spirit Stone

"This money is what they collected and gave to Brother Han. How can I accept it?"

Tian Lin pushed back the silver that Han Li handed over, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Han, I won't accept the silver, and I won't kill them all."

After hearing what Tian Lin said, Han Li felt even more worried.

But he could only force a smile, walked through the mountain gate and took out a bundle of ropes from the package room.

At this time, the strong wind on the cliff blew his robe rustling. Han Li said to Tian Lin in front of the cliff: "After sending you a thousand miles, we will have to say goodbye. Brother Tian, you should go back."

After he finished speaking, the long rope in his hand suddenly flew out and instantly entangled a big tree on the opposite bank.

But he was not in a hurry to use his strength to cross the misty chasm. Instead, he turned his head to look at the gate of the Yaoyue Sect and the immortal ladder of Mount Wendao behind him.

The bell rang at this moment, and Han Li reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

He pulled hard with his right hand, and with the help of the force of the rope, he swung across the chasm.

Tian Lin watched Han Li climb up the cliff with the rope and retract it, then he clasped his fists with Han Li. Then he saw Han Li disappear on the hill on the opposite bank with his bag on his back.

"Now that Han Li is gone, Brother Tian will be the supervisor of Lianshuifeng Mining Institute from now on."

A voice sounded, and Tian Lin turned his head to look at the fat woman with an apron tied behind him.

Tian Lin bowed and said, "I'll need your guidance in the future, Sister Zhu."

Mrs. Zhu also has a nickname called Fat Mrs., but no one knows what her real name is.

Tian Lin knew that she was the supervisor of several vice-peaks' canteens, so he wanted to get close to her and asked Mrs. Zhu:
"I heard that the ingredients for the various errand houses are allocated by Sister Zhu. I wonder what kind of ingredients the errand disciples of Yaoyue Sect can eat on a daily basis?"

"That's a lot. We have cereals, beans, vegetables, fruits, nuts, meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, and milk."

Mrs. Zhu asked Tian Lin, "Brother Tian, is there anything you want to eat? Tell me and I will help you find a way."

Tian Lin was speechless for a moment, he didn't know which food contained the two kinds of spiritual energy of "earth" and "wood", so how could he tell?
Mrs. Zhu smiled and took the initiative to say, "How about this, in a few days someone from the Zhou family will bring us food from outside. Then, Brother Tian can come to visit my Baihua Peak."

Tian Lin bowed his hands in thanks, and then he looked at the sky again and said to Mrs. Zhu, "The mine yard can't be left alone at this time. After I see Brother Han off, I have to go back to the mine yard to supervise the work, so I won't stay here any longer."

Before leaving, he glanced at the mountain gate again and was surprised that he did not see the woman in green clothes eating here today.

He didn't think much about it and strode down the Dao Mountain. Fortunately, when he rushed back to the Mining Academy, the group of errand disciples in the Mining Academy were consciously panning for sand.

When someone noticed Tian Lin's appearance, their faces looked particularly ugly.

But Tian Lin was the most powerful person present, and he was also the supervisor, so who would dare to offend him?

"Everyone, stop what you are doing and wait until the afternoon to pan for sand!"

Tian Lin couldn't blow the whistle of the partridge, so he could only shout loudly.

After a moment, a man in the river said, "There is still mud and sand to be dug in this river. Why do you want to rest so soon?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the whip in Tian Lin's hand fell with a "snap".

This whip was left behind in the mine yard after Xiaoyue's death. As a supervisor, Tian Lin couldn't use knives or guns to punish people, so this whip came in particularly handy.

Then he heard a scream of "Ah", Zhao Si covered his aching back and cried, "He was talking, why did you hit me?"

Tian Lin looked at Zhao Si coldly and said, "A few days ago, you asked Miss Xiaoyue to come and settle my account. This whip of mine is to help you settle it."

After saying that, he whipped the man who had talked back to him for the second time.

The man glared at Tian Lin angrily, and then heard Tian Lin say: "I am not Han Li, and I can't be Han Li! I only have one thing to say, from now on, I will decide who works and who doesn't work in the mine yard. If anyone is dissatisfied, either leave the mine yard or come and fight me!"

There was complete silence in the field, and some people instantly recalled their unfortunate experiences as miners outside.

It was not until the second shift in the afternoon that Tian Lin weighed and counted the bags that everyone had handed in.

"Do you think this guy will steal our Shuiling Mine?"

After Tian Lin carried the bag up the mountain, a supervisor said something uneasily.

"He dares! If he dares to do that, we will just--just quit work!"

"Is he afraid that you'll quit? He can do all of our work by himself. If you quit, he'll be so happy that he won't even have time to show it."

Tian Lin could not hear the sorrows of the errand disciples, as he himself had his own sorrows hidden in his heart.

It is hard to say how much he pleases the Second Manager now, but he is definitely hated by the Third Manager.

When he reached the mountainside, before he reached the warehouse, he was stopped by Young Master Shang.

"From now on, until someone is decided to take over the Shuiling Mine in the Mining Institute, it will be handed over to me for safekeeping."

Young Master Shang extended his hand to Tian Lin, who could not help but ask in surprise, "Wasn't it the Third Manager who was in charge of the Shuiling Mine before?"

"The third manager is too greedy. Even if Han Li doesn't resign, the Mining Institute will have to change a manager."

As Young Master Shang was talking, he casually flipped through the account book that Tian Lin handed over.

After he closed the account book, he handed it back to Tian Lin and said,
"Next, the second steward will take over the Mining Academy. I want you to be loyal to the second steward and become his true confidant."

Rather than the question of how he became the confidant of the Second Manager, Tian Lin was more curious about how Young Master Shang was so sure that the Second Manager would become the Manager of the Mining Institute before the results came out?

Obviously, Master Shang had no intention of explaining to Tian Lin. Instead, he took out a small wooden box and handed it to Tian Lin: "This contains the antidote for this month's Heartache Gu. You know, I didn't want to give it to you."

Looking at Master Shang's leaving back, Tian Lin didn't open the wooden box, but put it directly into his sleeve.

Of course he knew what Young Master Shang meant. It was obvious that Young Master Shang really wanted to kill him.

Tian Lin also noticed that when Xiaoyue was with Young Master Shang, Young Master Shang always had a rather sunny fake smile on his face in front of others.

But now that Xiaoyue is dead, Master Shang is too lazy to even put on a fake smile.

"In his eyes, I am already a dead person."

"It looks like we have to find a way to kill him first!"

Tian Lin went down the mountain in silence, but first went to the kitchen to get some food and took the lunch box home.

He put the unfinished 'figs' into the food box and was about to go up the mountain, but suddenly he thought of the antidote for the heartache poison he brought back from Young Master Shang.

He casually opened the small black lacquered wooden box in the house, and a vermilion pill instantly appeared inside.

This pill looks similar to the Heart-Griefing Gu, but it is obviously smaller.

Tian Lin looked at the antidote and his expression suddenly became extremely interesting.

In his vision, there was a clear reminder:
[Low-grade Wood Spirit Stone: Contains a large amount of wood spirit energy, and is an excellent consumable for setting up formations and replenishing wood spirit energy]

"Could this thing be a low-grade wood spirit stone?"
