Just walking for a few minutes, there was a commotion among the mining cultivators.

"Damn it, you took us again!"

"Hahaha, it's your duty to serve us seniors. We've been here longer than you."

Not just in one place. Almost everywhere new cultivators mined there was a commotion due to the plundering of their mines.

"I don't want to mine anymore!" Until, many of them throw away their mining equipment because they are upset. Many also try to survive and think rationally.

"Things like this must have become commonplace and always repeat. I'll shut up and find a gap. They can use their power while we can't. I have to find her."

Seeing that, the senior cultivators attacked them and threatened to kill them if not immediately mine. They threatened to kill someone in front of them as evidence.

"If you don't want to mine, you'd better die. Don't you think we don't dare kill you..."

After the threat managed to get them back to mining, the senior cultivators then they went and relaxed in their place.

...

Meanwhile, at Han Shu's place.

"Yueyin, yesterday were your mines also taken away by them?"

Yueyin nodded, "But I managed to hide it a bit like I said earlier."

"That's a natural thing here. Newcomers will definitely be enslaved here. When their qi energy had already adapted to this world, there would be bloodshed here."

"Sir, how long are we gonna be here?" ask Yueyin.

"Actually I wanted to get out quickly from here, but on second thought I changed my intentions. This is a great place to increase my spiritual strength. Below I will help you adapt to the qi of this world."

They continued to walk towards the lower region. Many senior cultivators were paying attention to them because their goal was a dangerous place for them.

It was rare for cultivators who dared to go to the lower regions to mine high-tier spiritual stones unless they had been decades in mining and had little understanding of the power in that world.

"See the newcomer. Just one day here had already sought death by going there... Haha." They even laugh at him.

"Let them. No need to stop it..."

Han Shu and Yueyin continued walking down the stairs leading downwards. Arriving in the middle region, they saw more severe oppression than in the upper region.

They formed a group of people to oppress the others. Their group just relaxes enjoying the hard work of others. They often torture someone there because of boredom until the person commits suicide. Even food rations monopolized their group.

"Who are those two? I've never seen him." he asked the members.

"They're newcomers to this world boss. They arrived here yesterday."

"Oh, newcomer... Bring them here."

"Good boss."

He ran over to Han Shu and Yueyin, then told her to meet their boss.

"Hey you two, my boss wants to see you. If you refuse you'll be like the people here." He pointed to the tormented people there.

"Oh, okay." Han Shu agreed. "Yueyin, don't stay away from me." He whispered to Yueyin.

They walked to their boss's place. Seen a man with a fat body was sitting relaxed while enjoying the food that filled his dining table.

"What did you call me here?" han Shu asked as he embraced the miner's tool on his shoulder.

The members of the group were furious after seeing Han Shu's rudeness on their boss. "Damn it, how dare he be disrespectful to the boss!"

"Shut up! They're new people here. Teach them the rules here well..." Their boss snapped and then spoke softly.

"You'll have to give 90 percent of your mining output after passing through my territory. Do you understand?" Their boss said kindly.

Not wanting to linger there for long, Han Shu immediately agreed. "All right, I get it. I'll be back in the afternoon."

"Now you can go." Their boss said again kindly.

Han Shu and Yueyin then went on their way to the lower region.

Seeing them off, the members of the group directly protested at their boss. "Boss, why only 90 percent? We can take everything from them."

"Hahahaha, they're new here. Don't let them end their lives so soon. I have to squeeze their energy well." Their boss laughed a little.

"Partially, up there they must have done the same thing as me maybe even they took everything from them" he continued.

"Oh, the boss is really smart." The members could only praise the ingenuity of their boss.

"Look, these fools... They even praised me for the usual things. It's almost time to get out of here. After 30 years of being here, I finally managed to gather enough spiritual stones for me to come out." - his inner self grinned.
