"Sister, are there really Lianxinmu trees by the river?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, but it was far away and out of reach. Now that I have a long pole, I think I can get it."

A seven or eight-year-old child tightly pulled the slender sister in front of him, his big eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

Lianxin wood is a treasure of heaven and earth. It is used by practitioners. It can be used as a material for making weapons and talismans. It can be exchanged for ten low-grade spiritual stones, which is enough to sustain a mortal's livelihood for half a year.

My sister is dark and thin. The only thing that stands out is probably her eyes, which are not stained by fine dust. They give people the impression that they are like mirrors. You can clearly see your own appearance in her eyes.

When they came to the waterhole, they saw Su Yue, who was all wet.

"Two mortals..."

Although his cultivation was sealed, his spiritual consciousness was still there. Su Yue knew the two's background at a glance, but he was a little surprised. There were still mortals in Zixia City?

The Earth Immortal World is the world of practitioners. Although such mortals exist, this is the first time Su Yue has seen them. There are no mortals in the small Tianfeng City. How can there be mortals in such a big Zixia City?

This is what he thought wrong. If a practitioner practices, his descendants can usually practice, but there is always a meaning. If you don't have talent, you can only be a mortal. If you are in a family, if you can't practice, you will be kicked down immediately.

As for the side branches, if the heirs of the children are still unable to practice, then they will become handymen and not even count as side branches.

This is the reality of the family. After all, family resources are limited, and there is no reason to raise a useless mortal.

As a result, the number of mortals gradually increased. Most of them were eliminated from the big families. In small places such as Tianfeng City, the only family that can be called a family is the Zheng family. It is still a low-ranking family and has not been passed down much.

Of course, it is impossible to have the talent for cultivation in this era, but Zixia City is different. This city

There are three major families, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are always some mortals. As we all know, the ability of mortals to reproduce is much stronger than that of practitioners. A couple who practices Taoism for hundreds of thousands of years may not have any children, the higher the cultivation level.

The more difficult it is to have children, but unlike ordinary people, they can reproduce very quickly.

And the more mortals are, the more they want their children to practice cultivation, and then they can escape from slavery. However, this is not a simple matter. It is difficult to find one practitioner among ten thousand mortals. How can such good luck be achieved?

The more mortals are born, the more disappointed they become. From generation to generation, there will be a group of mortals at the bottom of Zixia City.

They have their own world, which is no different from the human world, but life is generally difficult. After all, the currency of transaction is still spiritual stones. It takes a lot of effort for practitioners to obtain spiritual stones, not to mention that mortals are almost hungry and full.

These two siblings, probably just such mortals, were lucky enough to find Lian Xinmu and wanted to exchange it for spiritual stones.

"Sister!"

The boy exclaimed, holding his sister's arm, with fear and anger in his eyes.

Sister A discovered Lian Xinmu. Now that someone is here, he must have discovered Lian Xinmu. Maybe he has already arrived first. It feels very uncomfortable to have failed hopes.

"You, what do you want..."

The girl is also a little scared. She is more knowledgeable than her brother. Although the person in front of her is embarrassed, it puts a lot of pressure on her. She knows that the person in front of her is also a cultivator. If the Lianxinmu is seen by a cultivator, it will definitely be taken away.

Walk.

What she was worried about was not this, but whether this cultivator would kill the two siblings in order to cover up others' eyes. This kind of thing happened endlessly, and no cultivator would care about killing a lot of mortals.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Yue said gently, but he knew that the two siblings had misunderstood, they were just connected to each other, and he had not noticed it yet.

But the two of them still cowered, like quails.

Su Yue could only smile bitterly and took out dozens of low-grade spirit stones from the storage ring. The eyes of the two siblings were immediately attracted to the spirit stones.

"Look, I have so many spiritual stones, but I don't like the Lianxinmu one."

The younger brother was a little excited, but the elder sister shook her head. No practitioner would dislike having too many spiritual stones.

Su Yue hesitated, then took out another medium-grade spiritual stone and said.

"Now you believe it."

The boy didn't know what the difference was between this spiritual stone and other spiritual stones. It was just a little bigger, but the sister opened her eyes wide. She had seen a middle-grade spiritual stone before, which was equivalent to the value of a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

A practitioner who can have such a "huge sum of money" must look down on Lian Xin Mu.

"I have a few questions to ask you. If you answer them truthfully, I will reward you."

Seeing that the girl believed it, Su Yue took out four or five low-grade spiritual stones from the pile and pushed them towards the two siblings.

"Where is Zixia City located here?"

Just now he was running for his life, panicking and not choosing a way, and Su Yue didn't know where he was.

The girl was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be such a simple question, but the spirit stone was right in front of her, and she couldn't help but gulp down the temptation.

"This is Coal Mountain."

"Coal Mountain?"

Su Yue frowned, where is this? I have never heard of it.

"It's a place where coal is transported to the valley and thrown into the fiery furnace."

The boy couldn't help but rushed to say.

Su Yue moved four or five more spiritual stones and continued to ask.

"Valley, what place is it? What is the furnace of fire?"

Seeing that Su Yue was gentle and attracted by the spirit stone, the boy was no longer afraid and said without waiting for the sister's answer.

"The valley is the valley, and the furnace of fire is just a big fire pit..."

Hearing these childish words, the elder sister covered her brother's mouth and said.

"The valley is the Sword Forging Valley, and the Fiery Furnace is the fire veins of the Sword Forging Valley. It is exposed and countless coals are put in every day to increase the temperature of the fire."

"Sword Forging Valley!"

Su Yue's expression froze, and then he regained his composure. He didn't expect that he would end up here by accident.

He knew about the Sword Forging Valley. The ancestor of the Bo family practiced in the Sword Forging Valley. He did not expect that there would be such a large fire vein in the Sword Forging Valley. It sounded like an exposed volcano, but the fire vein was already blazing.

Yes, why do we need to invest a lot of coal?

Why does Bo Teng Yun need such a high temperature?

Su Yue was very confused, but he also understood the situation. This coal mountain was probably a coal mine. There were probably many mortals like these two siblings. After all, transporting coal was not something that practitioners could do. There were enough mortals.

No more problems.

"Do you know why you have to invest so much coal?"

Although he knew that the two siblings were unlikely to know the inside story, Su Yue still asked.

They shook their heads as expected, the girl said.

"Transporting coal has been going on for several years. We only came here last year. We can take care of one meal a day and one spiritual stone every month. It's just that under layers of exploitation, one piece is enough."

Half a piece, only one spiritual stone in two months."

The boy's eyes were red and he felt aggrieved.

"They bullied us, brother and sister, who have no one to rely on, let alone spiritual stones. Someone robs us of every meal every day..."

The girl also felt the same way, but she still pulled her brother into her arms to prevent him from talking anymore. He was afraid that he would make the practitioner unhappy.

Su Yue was not unhappy, but had a hint of sympathy. He pushed dozens of low-grade spiritual stones to the two of them, hoping to improve their environment.

As for the middle-grade spiritual stone, it is not possible. It is a crime to have a jade. If the sister and the brother have a middle-grade spiritual stone, they will definitely cause a big disaster.

"Where do you live?"

Su Yue asked.

"Right in the coal mountains."

"Can you take me to stay temporarily for a while? These spiritual stones will be considered as rent."

The girl was a little curious as to why the superior cultivator wanted to live in the slums, but she did not dare to refuse, not to mention there were so many spiritual stones, so she immediately said.

"Of course, it's just that our place is simple..."

She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Su Yue shook his head indifferently. What's the point of being simple? He had never suffered anything in the human world. The current situation of the two siblings is pitiable, but it is incomparable to the pain he endured.

, so he just sympathized a little, but never thought about changing their fate.

Fate is in your own hands and you have to fight for it. There is no use in being aggrieved blindly.

If the two siblings can be motivated, with the dozens of spiritual stones presented by Su Yue, they may not have the chance to become human masters, because Su Yue's spiritual consciousness scanned and found that both of them have the talent for cultivation and the qualifications

, not that bad...

The girl was still a little shy and said sheepishly.

"Then Lian Xinmu..."

Su Yue frowned.

"I have given you so many spiritual stones, which are already worth more than the Lianxinmu, so why worry about them?"

The girl bit her lip and said.

"The spiritual stone you gave us was a charity. We shouldn't have asked for it, but my brother is still young and he needs this spiritual stone to survive... And I discovered the Lianxinmu. The reason why I brought my brother here is
