Chapter 2
early morning.

The morning sun rose slowly, casting thousands of golden lights.

The shadow of the fist was like the wind, and a vigorous figure kept pounced swiftly under the rising sun, turning and moving. It was Xu Chen, who was punching the tiger-shaped body training fist over and over again.

He wanted to take advantage of his strength to break through to the second stage of boxing to make a breakthrough in cultivation and reach the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm in one fell swoop.

It wasn't until he was exhausted and sweating profusely that Xu Chen stopped his movements. No matter how he practiced the Tiger-shaped Body Training Fist, he always felt that there was a layer of membrane in between, which he couldn't break through.

"It seems that breaking through to the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm is almost a thing!"

Xu Chen shook his head regretfully, packed up his things and rushed to the quarry in the back mountain.

The quarry is an important industry of the Xu family, and it is also an important practice of the Xu family's children.

Before the children of the Xu family broke through to the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, they had to go to the quarry to do hard labor. There would be a special steward who would add up the monthly money according to the contribution of each child. This rule indicated that the Xu family did not support idlers.

Along the way, Xu Chen was eye-opening. There are a lot of Xu family disciples practicing in the quarry, including children as young as seven or eight years old, and some teenagers in their teens.Those children each carried a bamboo basket on their backs, holding two chopsticks made of bamboo in their hands, and kept putting stones into the basket.

The stones clamped were all the size of fists. When the children clamped the stones, they would sit on their horses with their waists down, their eyes sharp like electricity, and their movements like apes. After a while, they would have a full basket, and then they would walk like flying with the heavy basket on their backs. On the steep mountain road, go to the pier at the foot of the mountain.

A hot flash flashed in Xu Chen's eyes. This is indeed a world of martial arts, and every word and deed includes cultivation.The small stone movement not only exercises the legs and feet, but also exercises the waist strength, and also takes into account the eyesight and hand strength, which is not easy!
While he was in a daze, a voice like the throat of a duck interrupted his train of thought.

"Xu Chen, why are you here so late today? Don't you want to do it anymore?"

When Xu Chen looked up, he found a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks blocking his way. After thinking for a while, he remembered that the man in front of him seemed to be a supervisor of the quarry.

"Supervisor Xu, it seems that there is still half an hour before the start time?" Xu Chen frowned. Although he came later than usual today, he was definitely not late.

Supervisor Xu was taken aback for a moment, how did this trash change his sex today?How dare you refute it face to face!
Seeing the younger brothers of the Xu family who were paying attention, Supervisor Xu showed a hint of ferocity in his eyes, and stared at Xu Chen with a long nasal voice: "Huh? Have you learned to talk back? I say it's too late!"

Xu Chen stared at Supervisor Xu with burning eyes. The tone of this black-skinned monkey was very similar to that of the department head who made things difficult for him in his previous life.

In addition to forcing employees to work overtime and deducting benefits on weekdays, I never thought that such a thing would happen to a person in two lifetimes.

How did you do it before?It seems that he scratched his Audi while taking advantage of the night, right?

"What are you looking at? Don't move the stones yet! Today your task is doubled. If you can't finish it, hey, don't expect to get a penny!"

Supervisor Xu's high-pitched voice spread throughout the quarry, attracting more children of the Xu family to stop and watch, wanting to know which unlucky child offended the evil star Supervisor Xu.

Supervisor Xu's name is Xu Qing, originally a servant of the Xu family, by chance, he broke through to the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and he was good at drilling, so he was very favored by the elder, so he was promoted and appointed as a deacon disciple.

Xu Qing is an extremely vicious person, in order to please his superiors, he has made things difficult for the disciples of the Patriarch's lineage, but the Great Elder standing behind him only dares to be angry and dare not speak out.

When they saw clearly that the bullying target was Xu Chen, a good-for-nothing young master, all the Xu family members shook their heads pityingly.

The clan brothers who entered the quarry with this good-for-nothing young master are now at least at the fourth or fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, but he is still unstoppable at the third level of the Mortal Martial Realm. Many disciples who are a few years younger than him are now To surpass him.

With his strength, he must be tired like a dead dog again today, and he can't get a penny.

Although this is a quarry, the stones produced here are not ordinary stones, but moiré stones from the famous Wuyuan City, which are extremely dense and hard, even as heavy as pig iron.

Moreover, the stones carried by adults here are different from the scraps carried by children.They were all cut into strips of one meter long and half a meter wide. At that time, they were transported by water to various parts of the dynasty to build city walls and stone forts. The buildings built with moiré stone were extremely reliable, enough to withstand years of wind and frost, as well as the test of war.

So even the lightest piece weighs seven to eight hundred catties, and it is the limit for an ordinary third-level mortal martial artist to be able to move ten yuan in one morning.

It was not easy for Xu Chen to move 12 yuan before, so it was naturally a lot of money.

Today Xu Qing actually doubled the amount for him, that is 24 yuan, not to mention him, a good-for-nothing young master, even a third-level warrior of the Mortal Martial Realm can't do it!
Seeing that Xu Chen was embarrassed by Xu Qing, many of the Xu family's children from the Patriarch's line had gloomy faces. The supervisors and even the stewards here were all members of the Great Elder's lineage, and they had deep grievances with the Patriarch's line. It's all about venting anger, and they are often bullied by others!
Glancing at the expressions of the people around, Xu Qing smiled like a chrysanthemum, feeling extremely comfortable.

Another month will be the family competition. With the talent and strength of young master Xu Hong, he will definitely be able to win the first place in the competition this time, and then be established as the next Patriarch.

At that time, not to mention Xu Chen's trash, even Xu Qingyang, who lost his family position, will not be able to protect himself!

So what about the young master?Without strength, even a slave is inferior!
Xu Qing stared at Xu Chen excitedly, and licked his lips, expecting him to resist to the end. Bullying a young master is very good, right?

Xu Chen ignored Xu Qing's dirty expression, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Xu Qing, don't forget your identity!"

Swallowing his breath is not his style, what's more, this Xu Qing is just a supervisor, if he is afraid of him, then don't practice at all.

"Good! Good! How dare you ignore me!" Xu Qing smiled angrily, grinning, showing yellow teeth, showing the whip in his hand, it seems that I want to teach you a good-for-nothing young master .

The disciples of the Great Elder's line all looked like they were joking. This trash Xu Chen was extremely funny. He had a very low level of cultivation, but he was stubborn.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chen didn't show any panic, but laughed loudly: "I don't care about you? You don't even take pictures of yourself, what kind of onion are you?"

In my memory, I have suffered from Xu Qing's making things difficult and ridiculing before, but today I can't let the humiliation repeat itself!
Xu Qing's face was distorted, he never expected that Xu Chen, a mere trash of Lv [-] Mortal Martial Realm, would dare to humiliate him in public, he was trembling with anger.

"Good! Good!" Even after saying two good words, his face turned pale, and with a wave of his hand, the whip in his hand struck Xu Chen like a poisonous snake.

Xu Chen had been prepared for a long time, he stepped down, and dodged lightly. Xu Qing took a break, and the whip hit the vacancy, making a crackling sound.

He escaped!Xu Qing's face turned red, if she couldn't teach even a trash, how could she establish her prestige, she immediately flicked the whip and poured all her strength into it, never letting that trash get better!

Seeing that Xu Qing raised his whip and wanted to continue whipping, "Stop!" Xu Chen yelled, and immediately stepped forward, Xu Qing felt that Xu Chen's figure had disappeared in a flash.

snort!A mere mortal martial third level waste still wants to resist?See if I don't beat you to pieces today!Although Xu Qing was not flustered, he kept swinging his leather whip like a spirit snake.

Basic Whip Skill, Breath of Spirit Snake!
Xu Chen kept dodging. At this moment, the system prompt sounded in his mind: "Do you want to activate the Eye of Taixu?"

Ok?Is it equivalent to the eye of emptiness in reconnaissance?Xu Chen was taken aback, and immediately chose to use it.

Immediately, Xu Qing's heavy whip images became extremely slow in Xu Chen's eyes, full of loopholes, and turned into streams of data.

The peak whip force is three thousand catties, huh? The low point is only one thousand and three catties?Xu Chen quickly used it for himself again, three thousand six hundred catties!
After the observation of the Eye of Taixu, Xu Chen already roughly understood Xu Qing's strength.

So what about the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, the strength of a mere thousand or hundreds of catties is not as good as his own!
Xu Chen snorted heavily, and no longer dodged. Taking advantage of the old force of the whip and the lack of new energy, he quickly reached out and grabbed the whip that came from the whip, and pulled it hard, Xu Qing only felt a sluggish Vigorously came, but it was already taken away by Juli when it was too late!

"You're so cute!" Xu Chen grasped Xu Qing's throat, and slowly lifted him from the ground: "I'll ask the steward here later, is this quarry still owned by the Xu family? Does the Xu family listen to the Patriarch, or the Grand Elder!"

Xu Qing had difficulty breathing, there was no blood on his face, and he was extremely terrified in his heart. When did Xu Chen gain so much strength?Has he been hiding his strength?
What was even more horrifying was Xu Chen's two sentences just now, which were words of condemnation, although in everyone's mind it was an indisputable fact that the Great Elder's lineage was powerful, and he would soon be able to control the Xu family without any accidents.

But at least the Xu family is still in power now!

At this moment, an old voice sounded: "Xu Chen, stop, the same clansmen are not allowed to fight, everything is decided by the old man."

It was only then that everyone realized that there was an old man in fine clothes in the scene.

The old man in Chinese clothes scanned around, and found that many disciples of the Patriarch's line were staring at Xu Qing angrily, frowning slightly, knowing that the situation was out of control.

The moment the old man appeared, Xu Chen suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. The hairs all over his body stood on end and tightened slightly, as if even the surrounding air froze.

Stretched?Xu Chen frowned slightly. The pressure the old man put on his body fully showed that his buttocks were crooked, and he was clearly a member of the Great Elder family!
It takes courage to bow your head, but confidence to look up!Just because I can't beat you now, doesn't mean I won't be able to beat you in the future!Xu Chen restrained his anger, and slowly let go of his hand, allowing Xu Qing to wilt on the ground.

The old man in fine clothes frowned slightly, and shouted: "Bold Xu Qing, hurry up and apologize to Master Xu Chen!"

"Yes,... yes! Little, the villain's eyes are clumsy, so he didn't recognize Master Xu Chen." Xu Qing made a ho-ho sound from his throat. After Xu Chen let go of his hand, he quickly knelt down on the ground and bowed his head to admit his mistake. The old man in robe was extremely awed.

"It turned out to be the chief steward who hasn't appeared in front of people for a long time!" I don't know who exclaimed, and the children of the surrounding family were shocked. It turned out to be Xu Qinghuai, who has been the chief steward here for more than ten years. A person with an important pulse, it is rumored that his cultivation has already reached the peak of Qi Wujing!
"Xu Chen, although you have not yet obtained a position in the family, you are also in the direct line of the head of the family. This old man will arrange a new job for you."

Xu Qinghuai narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Chen for a long time, then said in a gentle tone, making people almost think that he is just a rich man.

Xu Qing's expression was a bit ugly, Xu Qinghuai glanced at him indifferently, looked at Xu Chen and said slowly: "This old man has limited rights, why don't you and Xu Qing be the supervisor, and supervise all the affairs of District A, and the stone materials After the delivery is completed, the wages will be 500 taels of gold."

"What 500 taels of gold?" There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd. They only had ten taels of silver for a day of work in the quarry, and they looked at Xu Chen with jealousy.

500 taels of gold is enough to buy a blood ginseng plant, and if you are lucky, it is enough to reach the fourth peak of the Mortal Martial Realm!

Being stared at by envious eyes, Xu Chen frowned slightly, with some doubts in his heart, is there really such a good thing as pie in the sky?
