Duan Lingtian got the 'extra large basket' now, but it was not because of luck.
It was the 'benefits' that Elder Zhuque Tan Bronze Flame gave him for public and private purposes. Because Elder Zhuque Tan couldn't say much, Duan Lingtian, the 'stunned young man' who had just arrived in the penalty area, didn't know about it either.
Even more, he didn't know the significance of this extra-large basket in the 'penalty area' of the first mining area.
"These costumes are exclusive to the Sixiangtan disciples serving in the Penal District... Different from the four iconic costumes of the general Sixiangtan disciples, all Sixiangtan disciples in the Penal District wear the same costumes.
.”
Elder Zhuque Altar Tongyan continued to introduce the clothes to Duan Lingtian, "So, in the penalty area from now on, unless you take the initiative to say that you are a disciple of Xuanwu Altar, people who did not know you before will not know that you are a disciple of Xuanwu Altar.
.”
Duan Lingtian nodded.
In fact, he discovered this on the way here.
The disciples of the Four Symbols Altar all wear the same clothes, and they are not exclusive to any of the Qinglong Altar, White Tiger Altar, Suzaku Altar and Xuanwu Altar.
"In addition, there are regulations in the penalty area. All new disciples who come to register before noon must go to the mine to mine the holy stones that day... There is still almost an hour before noon."
Having said this, Elder Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to Duan Lingtian: "Otherwise, you stay here for an hour...and then leave after an hour."
"It just so happens that I just registered your name, but not the time of your arrival... As long as I postpone your arrival time by one hour, you don't have to go into the mine to mine the holy stones today. You can find a place to rest first.
Let’s go to the mine again tomorrow.”
Elder Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame said this clearly because he wanted to use public affairs for Duan Lingtian's personal gain.
Such obvious use of public affairs for personal gain made Duan Lingtian feel warm in his heart, and he secretly said, "There are still many good people in this world!"
If these words in Duan Lingtian's heart were heard by those Sixiangtan disciples who came to the punishment area to register at a moment before noon and were going to the mines that day, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Because they don't have such treatment!
Duan Lingtian didn't know that the reason why he was treated like this was more because the elder of the Bronze Flame of the Suzaku Altar in front of him was afraid of his 'background'.
After all, in the eyes of the Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame Elder, Duan Lingtian is just a mediocre man with a ‘yellow spiritual root’. The reason why he was protected by the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall must be because of his extraordinary background.
It is precisely because of this that Elder Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame is so easy to talk to and so polite.
If it were another person, even if he came to register one second before noon, he would have a cold face and rush him to the mine to mine the holy stone.
"Thank you for taking care of me, elder... However, it's still early today. I want to go down to the mine first to get familiar with the environment."
Duan Lingtian thanked him and politely declined the kindness of Elder Bronze Flame of the Suzaku Altar.
Since Duan Lingtian refused, Elder Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame didn't say anything more. Finally, he reminded Duan Lingtian, "You can ask other people for the specific number of holy stones to be mined... because the number of holy stones to be mined is not determined every day.
Same. In addition, you can go with them to the place where the sacred stone is handed over."
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then said goodbye to Elder Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame and left.
After leaving the registration office, Duan Lingtian put on the exclusive clothing of the Sixiangtan disciples serving in the penalty area, carried an extra-large basket on his back, and merged into a group of people carrying empty baskets.
The addition of Duan Lingtian is particularly conspicuous because of the extra-large basket behind him.
After a moment, Duan Lingtian noticed a lot of eyes falling on him.
"Do I look like a 'newcomer' or a 'rookie'?"
Sensing these glances, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Until now, he hadn't realized that the extra-large basket behind him was to blame.
"I haven't seen such a person carrying an extra-large basket before."
"Could he be new here?"
"It's possible, but not necessarily."
"But... if he is new here, how come he has an extra-large basket? Judging from the date when the last extra-large basket was issued, it will take at least another three months before the next extra-large basket is issued, right?
"
"I don't know about this."
…
Duan Lingtian didn't know that many of the Four Symbol Temple disciples who were staring at him were also communicating with each other through sound transmission.
Later, these Four Symbol Temple disciples were not sure that Duan Lingtian was a 'newcomer'.
Because the ‘extra large basket’ appeared at the wrong time!
Maybe, this guy carrying an extra-large basket was just a 'little transparent' carrying an ordinary basket in the past, but today he showed off his power and snatched an extra-large basket?
After all, there are thousands of Sixiangtan disciples in the penalty area, and it is impossible for anyone to remember the appearance of every Sixiangtan disciple who is carrying an ordinary basket on his back.
Only the disciples of the Sixiangtan, with less than a hundred people carrying extra-large baskets, could barely remember it.
They can be sure that before today, among the eighty-nine people carrying extra-large baskets, there was absolutely no one like this.
In this case, there are only two possibilities:
1. The young man in front of me is a newcomer. He is lucky and got an extra-large basket.
Second, the young man in front of me used to be just a little transparent guy carrying an ordinary basket, but today he just grabbed such an extra-large basket from someone else.
There are two possibilities. The group of Four Symbol Temple disciples who were staring at Duan Lingtian were more inclined to the latter.
Because there is a time pattern for the appearance of extra-large baskets, and they have mastered that pattern...
Because of this, they can all conclude:
Normally, the next extra large basket should not appear in the hands of a new person at this time.
However, these disciples of the Four Symbols Temple never imagined that Duan Lingtian was indeed a new person, an extremely new person who had just arrived in the penalty area of the first mining area today!
As for the extra-large basket that appeared on his back out of time, it was given to him by the Elder Zhuque Altar Bronze Flame at the registration office for public and private purposes.
All this is not because of anything else, just because he is ‘Duan Lingtian’!
It was because of his name that the elder of the Zhuque Altar, Bronze Flame, handed him an 'extra large basket' for public and private purposes in order to take care of him!
"I really hope he is just a newcomer and got this extra-large basket by luck."
Many disciples of the Four Symbols Temple stared at the extra-large basket behind Duan Lingtian, with their eyes shining and their saliva almost flowing out.
Extra large basket!
This is an extra-large basket!
Once they get the extra large basket, it also means that they can save half the distance when handing over the sacred stone.
Because the extra-large basket can hold twice as many holy stones as an ordinary basket!
On the following journey, because they could not figure out Duan Lingtian's 'industry', those Sixiangtan disciples who were greedy for the 'extra large basket' behind Duan Lingtian did not act in a hurry.
In this way, Duan Lingtian also followed the flow of people and entered one of the mines in the punishment area.
As Duan Lingtian entered the mine, a spectacular scene appeared:
This mine seemed to have become a 'hot cake' in an instant, because compared to other mines, the number of Sixiangtan disciples who entered this mine was more than three times that of any other mine!
"Why are there so many people?"
With so many people pouring in behind them, Duan Lingtian naturally noticed it.
When he turned around, he saw many greedy and fiery eyes on the 'extra large basket' behind him. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "What are these people... looking at the basket on my back?
Do they still want to snatch my basket?"
Subconsciously, Duan Lingtian felt that the basket was a cheap item, and no matter how large the capacity was, it would not be enough to cause the Zoroastrian disciples from all four altars to rob it.
In fact, he forgot the most important point.
Perhaps the basket is a cheap thing to put outside.
But in the 'punishment area' of the first mining area of Sixiangtan, the extra-large basket means that in the process of handing over the sacred stone, half of the unnecessary mistakes can be avoided.
Save half of the wasted time and you will be able to complete your tasks earlier every day!
Because of this, who wouldn’t want an extra-large basket in this penalty area?
Duan Lingtian randomly picked a few people and took a look, but found that the baskets behind these people were just ordinary baskets, with twice the capacity of the basket behind him.
"A mere cheap basket shouldn't be enough to cause them to rob it... I seem to be overthinking it."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and continued to follow the flow of people deeper into the mine without thinking further.
Deep in the mine is under the ground.
Wherever Duan Lingtian passes now, there are dug passages leading to the ground.
The further you go inside, the wider the passage becomes, and there are lots of potholes on it. "These pits and pits... are like traces left by someone forcibly digging them out."
"Could it be that...there used to be a holy stone mine here?"
After thinking about it, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but guess.
Continuing to walk a little further inside, Duan Lingtian heard some sounds coming from the underground passage deeper in front.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
…
There are various sounds, as if they are playing some kind of special music.
Continuing deeper, Duan Lingtian came to the place where these sounds came from, only to find that many disciples of the Four Symbols Altar were already mining the holy stones.
The process of mining the holy stones, each of them showing off their magical powers, was also an eye-opener for Duan Lingtian.
Some were hit hard with fists.
Useful swords.
There are some who use palm knives.
There are guns and sticks.
…
There is nothing you can't imagine, nothing you can't see.
"There seem to be more and more holy stone mines..."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian also discovered that there were already many holy stone mines on both sides and up and down the passage in front of him.
The aura emanating from the holy stone mine is clearly the aura of the 'first-grade holy stone'.
