Chapter 400 363: Master Tingyu's Plan
The Heavenly Tribulation destroyed all the tree demons on the mountain. Now if Tian Lin wants to find fruits to replenish Spiritual Energy, he must
For the next few days, everything was as before; the exhausted mortals were already used to the howling roaming souls at night. They could sleep soundly in such an environment, unaffected by the outside noise.
The entire Huahua Lang team remained peaceful, although everyone was a bit tired and hungry, they all felt this life was worthwhile.
Because they shared in the Spirit Stones extracted from the mined ore. Although they only received scraps, bit by bit, one day they would accumulate enough to have a foundation for cultivation.
What satisfied them even more was that although Master Tingyu was aloof and demanding, he also taught them cultivation.
The mortals believed that one day, they could become Cultivators. In such troubled times, becoming a Cultivator was the only way to survive.
But without swearing an oath before Houtu, without Houtu's restraint, was Master Tingyu truly a benevolent elder willing to share?
Another ten days passed, and Tian Lin noticed something amiss.
He observed that Master Tingyu's rebukes towards the mortals increased in frequency while supervising them.
He also noticed that when distributing dried meat, the old man was stingy with the mortals.
"If you continue like this, there will be deaths in no more than two days."
Tian Lin advised the old man, but the old man was resolute: "If I don't do this, how many Spirit Stones can they dig in a day? If I don't do this, how long will the food last?"
Over the next day, one or two people finally died from exhaustion.
Tian Lin confronted Master Tingyu again, but the old man was stubborn:
"If I give them an extra piece of meat today, they will still eat less tomorrow! If they work less today, they will receive fewer Spirit Stones later."
Tian Lin vaguely felt that the current scene was similar to when he was a Mine Slave!
Back then, Manager Xu deliberately harmed people to provide the merchant with more dead bodies for Alchemy.
But what about the old man?
The old man deliberately killing people—could it be to use the dead bodies for Alchemy as well? Even if he was a Blood Sect Devotee, wanting to restore his Nascent Soul Realm, what use are twenty dead bodies? How many pills could they refine?
Tian Lin couldn't figure it out, but he knew that Master Tingyu had already restored some cultivation using Spirit Stones.
Although Master Tingyu's cultivation was not yet as good as his own, he could not stop the old man from doing this.
"I understand now, you plan to kill these people and have them become dried corpses to serve you after death!
This way, you'll have free Mine Slaves who do not tire and do not need to be fed daily;
When these Mine Slaves die, the Spirit Stones they accumulated become yours for the taking."
Tian Lin finally realized it in the end. He looked at Master Tingyu and said, "Old man, your conduct makes me very uneasy!"
