Chapter 961: Mountain
Cutting the stone of the greenoka has no skill, no other, only hand familiar with it.
After many attempts, Xu Chuniang and Xiaobai gradually mastered the skills, although not as good as the old man surnamed Gong, but also will not easily cut the stone destroyed.
Two people worked for four or five days in a row, only to the first day of mining all the greenoka stone processing is complete, both are relieved.
Xiao Bai couldn’t help but lament, ”No wonder Elder Gong said that if you want to build the smallest stone house, it would take at least two whole months.
On our first day, we mined a lot of greenoka stones, at that time, I thought he was exaggerating, but I didn’t realize that it wasn’t an exaggeration at all, two months is already considered fast!”
“Elder Gong is an Immortal Official, there’s no need to lie to us about this kind of thing, let’s rest for half a day first, tomorrow we’ll go back over to the pit and continue mining greenoka stone.”
Xiao Bai didn’t want to rest, “Sister, I’m not tired, I could have gone to mine the greenoka stone right now, we have to build the stone house out earlier to make it work.”
Xu Chuniang was unmoved, “You’re not tired today, what about tomorrow, what about the day after?
Even if you’re an immortal, the strength in your body isn’t endless, you’ll get tired one day.”
“Then it’s just as well to wait until you’re tired and then rest.”
“It’s not the same, both mining and cutting the greenoka stone require quite a bit of strength, resting well will instead allow you to do a better job.”
After a pause, Xu Chuniang continued, “And don’t forget, there are immortal beasts in this Zhangwei Mountain, some of them have gentle temperaments, but there are also quite a few of them with violent temperaments.
If you encounter those fierce temperament immortal beasts when you are tired, do you think you can handle it?”
Little White finally stopped insisting and naively said, “Sister is right to consider it, I’m really too stupid to think of everything as simple.”
Seeing Xiao Bai a little frustrated, Xu Chuniang poked his head and said seriously.
“You’re not stupid, your original body is nothing more than a mutated drill rat, to be able to get to this point today, it’s already very impressive.
Besides, this wasn’t your strong point in the first place, wasn’t it?”
Little White realized that he had drilled himself into a corner and blushed a little, but he was also much cheered up by Xu Chuniang’s words.
“Not bad, my nose is very agile, able to smell scents from far away, even in this thousand-mile frozen Zhangwei Mountain, I can distinguish different odors.”
Seeing that Xiao Bai had figured it out, Xu Chuniang but smiled.
In the mountains in the future, there would be many more places where Xiao Bai could be used.
The two of them built a temporary fence with treated greenoka stones near the mountain, barely enough to conceal their figures.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two of them, after raising their spirits, put on their backpacks and continued to walk towards the mining pit.
For the next two months, Xu Chuniang and Xiaobai dug and cut stone diligently, rain or shine, and finally, at the end of the second month, the stone house was completed.
This stone house was huge, built exactly like Gong Lao’s stone house, and it was divided into several areas, with the two of them each having a cultivation room that looked spacious and bright.
Looking at the newly completed stone house in front of him, Xiao Bai’s eyes were filled with joy.
This stone house can be really hard to come by ah, completely he and sister a little bit of piling up and become, the hardship, do not mention it.
But with the stone house, they will have a home in Zhangwei Mountain.
“Not bad, actually built such a big stone house so quickly, your speed, a lot faster than I thought.”
A voice rang out, the two of them sniffed and looked, the person who came was none other than Elder Gong.
Xu Chuniang was a little surprised, “How did Elder Gong have the time to come today?”
“I ran out of cedar pines in my house, and without them, the warmed wine always lacks some flavor, so I planned to go up the mountain to cut down some pine wood.
I happened to pass by here, so I came over to take a look.”
“I see.” Xu Chuniang pondered, an idea rising in her heart, “I wonder if Elder Gong, accepts this Accumulated Snow Pine?”
“Naturally, why, do you want to cut down the snow pines to cover your debt?”
Gong Lao looked at her with a smile on his face, “But this Snow Pine is not like the Green Gang Stone, it’s not something you can easily get by spending some effort.
Even if you bought my quarrying chisel, if you want to cut down the cumulus cedar, it won’t be that easy.”
“I know, after all, only places where the snow stays constant for years can grow cumulus cedar, but I want to give it a try, so if Elder Gong doesn’t mind, why don’t you let me go up the mountain with you.”
Elder Gong pondered for a moment, “It’s not impossible to let you follow, after all, the place where the Accumulated Snow Pine grows isn’t a secret, it’s just that there aren’t many people who can go there.
Are you sure you want to go? Don’t blame me for not reminding you beforehand, the Accumulated Snow Pine grows on top of a lonely cliff, if you’re not careful, it’s very easy to fall off the cliff, if you fall off, don’t blame me for refusing to come to your rescue.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Gong is willing to take me, I’m satisfied, in case I fall off the cliff, I will never blame you.”
Elder Gong nodded with satisfaction, “Alright, then you follow.”
Seeing Xu Chuniang going up the mountain with Elder Gong, Xiao Bai subconsciously had to follow.
“Sister, let me go with you, two people can at least take care of each other.”
“No, the Snow Pine grows in a very high place, I don’t have much Immortal Qi left in my body, I can’t protect two people.
You stay in the stone house and wait for me to return.”
In these two months, Xu Chuniang had consumed as much as seventy to eighty percent of the Immortal Qi in her body, yet she still had two to three percent left.
The reason she said this was because she was uneasy about Little White following.
After all, what Elder Gong had said was all true, cutting down the snow accumulating pines was not without danger, and she was better at it, coping with these dangers.
Xiao Bai opened his mouth, somewhat at a loss for words, the Immortal Qi in Ah Sister’s body was consumed too much, partly because of him.
“But ……”
Xu Chuniang interrupted Xiao Bai’s unspoken words, “Don’t worry, I know your worries, I assure you that I will return safely.
Until I return, you don’t go anywhere.”
Xiao Bai had no choice but to nod, “Alright, then Sister, you be careful.”
After instructing Xiao Bai to guard the stone house well, Xu Chuniang followed behind Gong Lao and walked up the mountain.
Gong Lao’s walk seemed to be slow but actually fast, his figure was floating, as easy as walking on the ground.
Xu Chuniang did not move to speed up the speed, and always maintain a distance of three steps behind the Gong old.
So after traveling for an incense stick of time, Gong Lao finally turned his head and looked at her more.
“Worthy of being an ascended person, really have some skills, little girl physique is not bad, do not wear fur coat, actually not cold at all, compared to my old man!”
Xu Chuniang shook her head helplessly, “Gong Lao, don’t laugh at me, others don’t know the inside story, you still don’t know, we don’t wear fur coats, completely because of poverty.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to buy two quarry chisels on credit from you.”
Gong Lao hemmed and hawed and said with great meaning.
“You think that six hundred Immortal Crystals is something that everyone can afford on credit? There aren’t many who can have the courage to credit so many immortal crystals in one breath.”
