Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15932

Chapter 15930 Meeting in a Dream

The outer disciple had been lying in wait outside the mine for two days. Finding nothing unusual, he returned directly to the main hall and went straight to the outer sect elder’s office.

Upon seeing him, the outer sect elder immediately asked, “How was it? Any findings?”

The outer disciple replied, “Elder, I found nothing unusual at the mine.”

The outer sect elder frowned and then said, “Tell me everything you’ve seen these past two days in detail.”

The disciple responded and recounted his observations to the outer sect elder. Although he had been lying in wait outside the mine, he had still been able to overhear the miners’ conversations inside.

After hearing his explanation, the outer sect elder frowned and said, “You mean that after work, the miners would get together and chat about their cultivation experiences before going to sleep?”

The disciple nodded in response. The outer sect elder looked at him and said, “Didn’t you notice anything different?”

The disciple looked at the outer sect elder with some confusion. He really couldn’t see anything different. Seeing his expression, the elder didn’t say anything more, but waved his hand and let him leave.

After the disciple left, he invited the other elders to his room. Once they arrived, one of the elders said to them, “The disciple I sent to monitor the mine has returned. He said he didn’t find anything unusual. However, after questioning him, I discovered a problem. He said the miners at that mine chat about cultivation every day after work before going to sleep. This is the biggest abnormality.”

The others were stunned for a moment, then immediately understood. One elder said, “That’s definitely abnormal. Those miners would never chat about cultivation for no reason. At their level, they usually only talk about everyday things because they’ve long since given up cultivation. But they’re talking about cultivation! Are they really that diligent? That’s the biggest abnormality.”

The other elders all nodded in agreement. Indeed, it was the biggest abnormality. The elder continued, “But don’t forget, I…” “What we’re looking for is a cultivation technique that can overdraw one’s life force. The miners seem to enjoy practicing it so much, which means they’ve also practiced it. But that disciple said he didn’t see them practicing it during his observations these past two days, which is even more unusual. He didn’t see them practicing, which means they weren’t practicing in front of him. If they weren’t practicing in front of him, where would they practice? Where in the mines is the most secluded place?”

The elders exchanged glances and then said, “The mine shaft.”

The elder nodded and said, “That’s right, the mine shaft. If I’m not mistaken, all the secrets are in the mine shaft. Let’s send someone over again. This time, let him infiltrate the mine shaft and investigate. We must find out the secrets there.” The elders naturally didn’t object. Then, the elder adjourned the meeting and appointed a disciple skilled in concealment to go back to the mine to investigate.

The disciple quickly arrived at the mine and immediately infiltrated the tunnels. However, he was soon bewildered by the sheer number of tunnels; he had no idea which way to go. Being a shrewd man, he didn’t wander aimlessly. He knew that haphazardly venturing in would likely lead to getting lost, which would only cause more trouble. So, he waited in the tunnels until the miners entered and prepared to begin work. Only then did he follow them into the tunnels.

He only followed one miner, believing that if there were any secrets here, everyone would have their own. He only needed to keep a close eye on one person.

He quickly followed the miner to a cave, where he saw the miner kneeling and worshipping a statue. He then noticed that after kneeling, the miner immediately began cultivating, and his cultivation speed was even faster than that of some sect geniuses he knew. This astonished him, and he immediately realized this was the miners’ secret.

However, he didn’t leave immediately; he wanted to see what else the miners would do. He soon noticed something different about the miner: he found him to be extremely arrogant, always holding his head slightly up, a demeanor that was quite unpleasant.

He followed the miner for a day. The miner was indeed working very diligently, but their strength was far greater than he had imagined. So, the miners only needed to work half a day to achieve what the monk had previously done in a whole day. After they finished collecting the ore, they gathered again in the cave to chat. The monk eavesdropped the whole time. From their conversation, he learned that they could receive rewards by worshipping the statue. They were discussing who received the most rewards, how to change their tone of voice, and how to appear more arrogant.

These words greatly surprised the disciple. He then sneaked back into the mine and carefully observed the statue. He even saw incantations beneath it, which he memorized. After the miners left the cave, he also left and returned to the outer gate of the main hall as quickly as possible.

He then went directly to the outer sect elder and told him everything he knew. After hearing his words, the elder’s expression changed, and he then told the elder to leave.

After the disciple left, the elder went directly to see Zuo Han. Zuo Han invited the elder into his study, and the elder bowed upon entering. Zuo Han waved his hand and said, “No need for formalities. Is there something you need?”

The elder immediately told Zuo Han about the statue. After hearing his words, Zuo Han’s expression changed slightly. He said in a deep voice, “Is it indeed a statue?”

The elder nodded and said, “My disciple said it is indeed a statue. He even drew a picture of it.” After speaking, the elder took out a jade slip and handed it to Zuo Han.

Zuo Han took the jade slip and used his spiritual power to enter it. Sure enough, he saw a statue. His first feeling upon seeing this statue was arrogance, extreme arrogance.

Zuo Han put down the jade slip and then said, “So, in other words, as long as those miners worship the statue, their cultivation speed will increase, which means they are overdrawing their lives?”

The outer sect elder nodded and said, “Yes, Sect Master, I think so.”

Zuo Han thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “If that’s the case, then we must take this matter seriously. Here’s what we’ll do: you go down first, and tomorrow we’ll discuss it with the others and then decide what to do.” The outer sect elder responded, then bowed to Zuo Han and turned to leave.

After the outer sect elder left, Zuo Han glanced at the jade slip again before starting to deal with the matters at hand. After he finished dealing with his work, he went to rest.

That night, when Zuo Han was fast asleep, he suddenly found himself in a very special space. This space seemed very large, yet it also seemed not very large, giving him a very contradictory feeling.

The next moment, he saw the statue. It had grown enormous, sitting there, looking down at him. Zuo Han immediately became wary. He was a master, not like ordinary people. So, seeing the statue appear in his dream, his first reaction was alertness. He wanted to use his strength to deal with it.

The statue glanced at Zuo Han, then spoke, “Don’t be so tense. I have no ill intentions. In fact, I came with goodwill.”

Zuo Han had calmed down by now. He realized he couldn’t leave this space anytime soon, which calmed him down. He looked at the statue and asked, “Who are you?”

The statue said in a deep voice, “I am the God of Pride. I’ve actually come to help you. Your strength hasn’t improved for a long time, has it? I can help you take it a step further.”

Zuo Han snorted coldly, “Will I also die from qi deviation?”

“That’s a misunderstanding. I can indeed speed up their cultivation, but there’s a prerequisite: their potential must be sufficient. Those people before were all ordinary people. They begged me for help, and I did. Their strength did increase, but their inherent potential was insufficient. So, when I increased their cultivation speed, their bodies couldn’t handle it. It’s like someone with limited strength trying to use heavy weapons; their bodies couldn’t withstand it, so they died. They said they wanted to use heavy weapons, and I simply gave them those. They could have gradually increased their strength, even their potential, but they didn’t. They wanted to instantly reach an extremely powerful level, like Chen Feng. His potential was very poor; he originally wanted…” Reaching even the highest level is difficult, let alone the highest level of riding a chariot. He achieved it with my help, but he completely exhausted his potential, ultimately consuming his life force. If, after receiving the weapon I gave him, he diligently trained his body first, and one day he could wield the weapon, then of course, his life force wouldn’t be depleted.

Zuo Han knew what weapon he was referring to: spiritual energy. This self-proclaimed god had given those people more spiritual energy. If they hadn’t been in a hurry and had slowly absorbed that spiritual energy to gradually increase their strength, there wouldn’t have been any problems. But they insisted on accelerating their cultivation, which made their foundation unstable, naturally consuming their life force. Therefore, if their cultivation fluctuated, they would suffer a qi deviation and die.

However, Zuo Han still couldn’t completely trust the god, and then he said, “How do I know if what you’re saying is true? What if everything you’re saying is false?” (End of Chapter)
