Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15923

Chapter 15921. Developing Believers

The miners at the mine didn’t change much despite the change in foreman. The foreman kept a record of how much ore they mined each day, and at the end of the month, they were all given spirit stones. They were paid based on the amount of ore they mined each day. Therefore, the management here was relatively loose; you could work if you wanted, or not work if you didn’t want to, since payment was based on the amount of ore mined, not the number of days.

Moreover, these people ate only fasting pills. Fasting pills are called fasting pills because they are a type of elixir. If the miners were to eat solid food, they would need to consume a lot of food, especially meat. But with fasting pills, this wasn’t a problem. Even if you did mining every day, one fasting pill was enough to support you for ten days without eating. So, in this respect, eating fasting pills was more cost-effective, which is why Chen Feng hadn’t seen anyone eating here before.

The miners all lived here, and might go home once a month. Most of the time, they lived on the mine, as their homes were usually about a two-day journey away. So, under normal circumstances, they would only go home once a month, stay for two days, and then return home to deliver spirit stones to their families for living expenses. Although the miners worked hard, they earned a decent amount, so their families lived quite well.

Of course, this was relative. For cultivators like Chen Feng, the spirit stones they earned each month were simply not enough to cover their expenses, but for ordinary people, the spirit stones they earned each month were enough for a family to live comfortably.

Chen Feng had been here for several days, observing the area to see if there was any embezzlement. He found that there wasn’t, because the ore was essentially useless.

During these days, Chen Feng also learned about the miners’ situation. He discovered that many of them had young children. Chen Feng felt this was a potential breakthrough, but he decided to start by investigating the manager.

He had already learned about the ten managers over the past few days, and finally chose one who looked to be in his forties. This manager had a young child, only ten years old, whose talent was only average. However, the manager still hoped that his child could enter the outer sect of the sect, so he wanted to earn more money to buy some pills for the child.

Chen Feng chose him, feeling that he was the most suitable person to preach to. After confirming his target, Chen Feng began to take action. That evening, after the miners had finished work, all the managers came to him to report their accounts.

Chen Feng recorded the accounts and let them leave. As they were leaving, Chen Feng called out to the manager, whose surname was Ye and whose name was Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised to be stopped by Chen Feng. Although Chen Feng had been there for a few days, they hadn’t had much contact with him. However, they knew one thing: Chen Feng was very arrogant and rarely gave them a second glance. Aside from that, he wasn’t bothered by them or interfered in the mine’s affairs, so they were quite satisfied with him.

This was the first time Chen Feng had stopped someone in days, so the others were curious. However, since Chen Feng didn’t ask them to stay, they had to leave. After they left, Chen Feng looked at Ye Zhen and said, “Manager Ye, I heard you have a child who wants to join the outer sect?”

Ye Zhen was taken aback, then quickly replied, “Yes, Master.” He felt uneasy, wondering what Chen Feng wanted.

Chen Feng glanced at him, then asked, “How’s your child’s talent?”

Ye Zhen’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still replied, “Replying to Master, it’s not very good.”

Chen Feng looked at Ye Zhen and then said, “I plan to stay here at the mine for a while, so we’ll be interacting frequently. If your child can join the outer sect, he’ll become my junior brother, so we should get to know each other better. Tell me, what difficulties are you facing right now?”

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Ye Zhen was taken aback, then shook his head and said, “Replying to Master, we don’t have any difficulties. My child’s talent isn’t…” “That’s great, but it’ll be very difficult to enter the outer sect now.”

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then said, “I have a method here that can improve your child’s talent, allowing them to smoothly enter the outer sect. However, after I pass this method on to you, you cannot tell anyone else, nor can you let anyone know about it. Can you do that?”

Ye Zhen was stunned, then his face showed an expression of ecstatic joy, but then a hint of confusion and wariness appeared on his face. He looked at Chen Feng and said, “Master, thank you so much. What do I need to do?” Ye Zhen thought that Chen Feng was telling him this in hopes of getting something from him.

Hearing Ye Zhen’s words, Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, “You don’t need to do anything. I have a statue here. After you take it back, drip a drop of blood onto the statue, and it would be best if your child also dripped a drop of blood onto the statue. Then chant a spell. After doing this, you just need to act a little arrogant in front of others, and then kneel and worship the statue at night. The reason I don’t want you to spread this matter is because this method is not the sect’s method, but a method I obtained from elsewhere. This method is actually somewhat against the sect’s rules. If the sect finds out, they may not accept your child anymore. But if you really do it this way, then your child will definitely be able to join the sect.”

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Ye Zhen was taken aback. He then glanced at the statue Chen Feng had placed on the table and hesitated before asking, “Master, is this really alright?”

Chen Feng replied in a deep voice, “Whether it’s alright or not, you’ll know once you try. Anyway, you haven’t paid any price. Of course, if you don’t want it, that’s fine too. Just pretend I didn’t say anything, and you can leave.”

Ye Zhen looked at the statue on the table, then at Chen Feng, his eyes filled with hesitation. After a long while, he gritted his teeth, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Feng, and said, “Thank you, Master. If my child really joins the sect, my whole family will be eternally grateful to you.” With that, he stepped forward and took the statue.

Chen Feng nodded and said, “Alright, then go back. There are incantations carved on the bottom of the statue; you can see them yourself. Go now, and remember, if anyone asks you what I told you, just say I only asked about your child’s cultivation. Don’t mention the statue.”

Ye Zhen quickly agreed, and Chen Feng waved his hand. Ye Zhen left immediately. Chen Feng stood by the small building, watching Ye Zhen leave, before returning to his room and sitting down. He had finished his work for the day; now it was time to see when Ye Zhen would come to believe in God.

Ye Zhen returned to his stone hut. Some of the miners slept in huts several of them, while the managers usually slept alone. Ye Zhen carefully took out the statue from his arms and examined it closely. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Ye Zhen quickly put the statue away and went to open it. Seeing several managers standing outside, Ye Zhen immediately understood that they had come to inquire about information. Ye Zhen didn’t mind and went straight out. Their stone huts weren’t very big, and if all the managers were to enter, the huts wouldn’t be able to accommodate them all. So, they usually discussed things outside.

After they sat down, one of the older managers asked Ye Zhen, “Young Ye, why did the Master keep you here? Is there anything he needs?”

Ye Zhen shook his head and said, “The Master is a good person. He heard about my child’s situation and kept me here to ask about him. He also said that if my child can enter the outer sect, he will become his junior brother.”

The managers were taken aback by Ye Zhen’s words, and then looked at him with some confusion. One of the managers said, “Just to ask about your child’s cultivation? When did the Master start caring about our family’s affairs?”

Ye Zhen replied, “I guess the Master was just asking casually. He also said he plans to stay at the mine for a while, so he wants to spend more time with us. I think he just wants to chat with me.”

The others, upon hearing this… Although Ye Zhen was still somewhat puzzled by what he said, he didn’t say much and all nodded. Then the older manager said, “We’ve been working in the mine for quite a few years. We’ve seen all kinds of masters. Some masters aren’t so easy to deal with. We’d better be careful. After all, there’s a lot of money to be made in the mine, and nobody wants to lose this business.”

Everyone nodded. Indeed, there was a lot of money to be made in the mine, and they didn’t want to be kicked out. Although the mine was very free, if an outer disciple wanted to kick someone out, it wouldn’t be a problem. And those who were kicked out probably wouldn’t have the chance to come back to work in the mine, which would be a huge loss for them. That’s why they didn’t want to offend Chen Feng, which is why they were so concerned about Chen Feng keeping Ye Zhen to talk. They were worried that offending Chen Feng would cause trouble.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the group dispersed. Ye Zhen waited until nightfall when no one was around before taking out the statue. Following Chen Feng’s instructions, he dripped a drop of blood onto the statue, chanted incantations, and bowed three times. The next moment, he suddenly felt as if he had entered a special space. He then saw the statue, enlarged countless times, and knelt before it.

Just as he was wondering what to do, he heard a voice from the statue say, “My believer, state your wish.”

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, “Almighty God, I want my child’s cultivation talent to improve. Please help me, Almighty God.”

Then Ye Zhen heard the god’s voice again: “As long as you show arrogance in front of others, all your wishes can be fulfilled. However, you must also make your child a believer. I only help my believers.”
