Chapter 184: Starlight Stone Mine (2/2)

“You task is to cut out 100 of this long bar a day,” Ma Wu said with a smile.

“What if we complete it ahead of time?” someone asked.

“Ahead of time?” Simultaneously, Ma Wu and Zhao Qiang turned to look at the one asking, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.

“If you can finish work ahead of time, you can rest and do whatever you want,” Ma Wu said, a grin appearing on his face.

“All right, start working.”

Next, the two heir disciples leapt into the air and flew far away, disappearing from sight.

Looking at the uncut ores piling up like a mountain, they all exchanged glances.

“Damn it! I had to waste so much effort to enter Extreme Celestial Sect. Originally, I thought I could cultivate properly and extend my lifespan. I didn’t think they would order us to do something like this,” the Heir Prince of the Royal Residence continued complaining.

“He he, fellow brother, don’t complain. It is not just us outer disciples. Don’t you see? There are even inner disciples sent here,” the one beside him persuaded him.

“There are countless disciples in Extreme Celestial Sect, and there are over 10,000 newcomers this time. Why did we get picked for this? This task is clearly not profitable at all.”

“Just consider ourselves unlucky. I think the two heir disciples should be feeling the same thing. To have to come to this God-forsaken place, heh, heh. Everyone, stop complaining. We did not join the sect to enjoy ourselves. It is good enough that the sect did not send us out to fight yao beasts.”

“Humph! I would rather go fight yao beasts.”

Clang!

Suddenly, a loud noise attracted the attention of everyone there. They saw Chen Feng wielding the sword, hacking down on one of the uncut ores.

“I finally understand why the two heir disciples had that expression on their faces just now. 100 bars a day is difficult,” Chen Feng lamented.

Only then did the other disciples realized that the earlier hack from Chen Feng had only left a small cut on the uncut ore.

“What? Surely, it is not that hard? Let me try.” The disciple felt something amiss. He swiftly raised the sword in his hand to hack down on the uncut Starlight Stone ore before him.

Next, he became like an ordinary human hacking down on a large tree so big that two people would be required to encircle it.

Bang!

Finally, a fully cut out bar of Starlight Stone was tossed to the ground. The disciple was unable to stop himself from shouting, “This stone is too hard. Cutting 100 bars of these, we can forget about resting today!”

“Humph! Whether or not we can finish the task is still in question.”

“Maybe the sword is not sharp enough. Let me try using a flying sword.” Another outer disciple waved his hand and a three chi long flying sword, flashing with a chilling sharpness, shot towards another uncut ore.

That fellow is cultivating a metal-type cultivation technique and his flying sword is sharp as well, Chen Feng thought.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

Piece after piece of stones were cut down, falling to the ground. However, the final chipping sound was clearly different.

“Argh! My flying sword cracked! My flying sword was created from the gold extract of one million jin of gold! For it to get damaged like this…” the disciple cried out. There was a distressed look on his face.

“Everyone, although this sword is only a grade 3 Magic artefact, it is forged using Mystic Stoutsteel. Additionally, some magic arrays have been engraved upon it. Furthermore, some experts have empowered it with magic power. Thus, it is capable of cutting through anything.” After saying that, Chen Feng swung and an uncut ore weighing tens of thousands of jin was cut apart, revealing the smooth Starlight Stone inside.

“We should hurry up and get to work.” Having said that, Chen Feng channelled his magic power and sword luminescence seeped out from the sword in his hand. Next, with a flash of sword light, a well-cut Starlight Stone was cut out.

Seeing Chen Feng getting to work, the other disciples too, hurried to work. Soon, the entire valley was filled with clanging sounds and bursts of sword energy.

“Sigh! I never thought that I would become a miner after entering Extreme Celestial Sect,” one of the outer disciples lamented.

“Just consider this another form of practice,” another fellow said with a chuckle.

Although the Starlight Stone ores were incredibly tough, Chen Feng was not concerned. Piece by piece, the large ores became as weak as tofu under Chen Feng’s efforts. It did not take long for the ore to come into shape.

Chen Feng was not even utilizing his primary energy now. He was simply utilizing his strong fleshly body and the sharpness of the sword to cut the ores in front of him into bars before piling them up.

Although this makes me feel gloomy, I have to figure a way to make it fun or find a way to hone myself. If not, doing this is quite depressing, Chen Feng thought.
