518: Damn Master Tianda, he sold me my mine!

Great Wilderness City was enormous; in Qin Feng's opinion, its area was already comparable to that of the Jin Kingdom in the Cultivation World.

Just asking for directions and finding the Ascension Hall took a full three days.

At the same time, Qin Feng also understood why Zen Master Tian Da didn't come with him—it was simply too far, unless one flew to try and speed things up.

Three days later.

Qin Feng successfully arrived in front of a pavilion glowing with a purple light.

This pavilion was magnificent and lavishly decorated, with two tall armored guards emanating purple light standing at its entrance. When they saw Qin Feng appear at the doorway, one of them immediately asked,

"What are you here for?"

"Two Immortals, I was introduced by someone to obtain an Immortal Registry."

Saying this, Qin Feng handed over the pendant Zen Master Tian Da had given him. The two guards took the pendant, looked at it without speaking, and simply turned to signal Qin Feng to follow.

A moment later.

The two led Qin Feng into the pavilion, through a path, and to a plaza. In this plaza, besides Qin Feng, there were many Immortals of the Mortal Immortal Realm; it seemed they were all here to obtain an Immortal Registry.

As expected of a legitimate Immortal Court, many people are joining.

Qin Feng sighed inwardly. Just then, he heard the guiding guard relay to the people inside the main hall of the plaza: "Tian Da introduced another one. Process him."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng felt something was amiss.

But by then, several gazes had already converged on him, leaving no chance to escape.

"How do I process the Immortal Registry?"

A table was set up at the entrance of the main hall, with more than a dozen people densely packed inside, processing Immortal Registries for various individuals. The one responsible for Qin Feng was a middle-aged man, exuding the aura of a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert.

He pointed impatiently at a golden page on the table: "Just press your handprint on this, and you're done!"

"Alright."

Qin Feng circulated his spiritual power, intending to force out a drop of blood to merge into the golden paper, but when he saw the content written on the paper, his pupils instantly dilated!

It read: "I voluntarily relinquish my status as a free person to join the Da Huang Mine, obtain a mining registry, and mine for one hundred years…"

"..."

Before coming, Qin Feng had read a lot about the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm's Immortal Registries were divided into Immortal Registry and Laborer Registry. The former was a normal Immortal Registry, allowing free movement in and out of various Immortal Courts, while the Laborer Registry meant one could only do odd jobs. Besides the Mining Registry, there were also Pill Registry, Spirit Medicine Registry, Spirit Beast Registry… various registries for miscellaneous tasks.

That dog-faced Zen Master Tian Da, he actually sold me to the mine!

At this moment, Qin Feng was furious, but the temperature of those few gazes on him gradually turned cold, as if they would strike immediately if Qin Feng hesitated for a second.

"Alright, I'm willing."

Qin Feng forced an awkward smile, then worriedly pressed his handprint onto the golden paper.

On one hand, he worried about the difficulty of these hundred years; on the other, he worried his blood would reveal his identity as Qin Feng, the master of the Netherworld Soul Hall from the Lower Realm…

Mining offered a chance to escape, but if his identity was discovered, he would face endless pursuit…

"Take your identity token and go queue up."

The person processing the Immortal Registry impatiently tossed Qin Feng a light purple spiritual bamboo identity token, then urged him to queue up in the plaza. The two guards responsible for escorting Qin Feng had also turned and left the moment Qin Feng pressed his handprint.

Arriving at the plaza.

There were already over a hundred people in the queue. As soon as Qin Feng stood firm, more than a dozen people immediately lined up behind him.

These people all looked anxious, or perhaps filled with longing, like young men and women from the mortal world joining a Sect for the first time.

"Buddy, aren't you excited?"

Just as Qin Feng was feeling worried, a person with two bun hairstyles, whose gender was indistinguishable, patted Qin Feng's shoulder from behind.

"Are you male or female?"

"This Young Master is naturally a man! Do you want me to take it off and show you?"

He pulled down his waistband with a look of disdain, and his red clothing loosened slightly, seemingly serious about taking off his clothes. Qin Feng immediately shook his head and hurriedly called out a few times, "Brother, don't take it off…"

Seeing Qin Feng's expression return to normal, he asked the same question again: "Buddy, you're about to join the Da Huang Mine, are you really not excited?"

"Why should I be excited?"

"The Da Huang Mine is the largest mine within tens of millions of miles, affiliated with the Nan Jia Immortal Court. As long as we can dig up rare Ore, we can raise our status and position. By then, whether it's Cultivation Techniques or Magical Artifacts, we'll have everything!

Back then, Immortal Emperor Ling Xiao was someone who came out of our Nan Jia Immortal Court's mine. Now he has established an Immortal Court and can even contend with the Nan Jia Immortal Court."

A man in front of Qin Feng, who looked like a scholar, turned back with a surprised expression and asked, "Immortal Emperor Ling Xiao mined?"

"That's right!"

"Then presumably the Lingxiao Immortal Court has no mines now, right?"

"May there be no more mining in the Immortal Realm."

The two chatted like this, one in front and one behind Qin Feng, and Qin Feng's expression gradually became less depressed.

Because from their conversation, Qin Feng also heard some useful information: the mine, while seemingly oppressive, exploitative, and strictly managed, was actually unsupervised; it was just a separate Small World. Once inside, if you wanted to leave, you had to hand over a certain amount of Ore. If you couldn't, you just didn't come out.

Thinking that his Demon Subduing Sword Formation still needed to advance, and the Materials for the Myriad Gods Sword Formation had not yet been fully collected, Qin Feng's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.

Zen Master Tian Da might have just wanted to sell him to the mine for personal gain, but by a twist of fate, he might be able to collect the raw Materials for crafting the Myriad Gods Sword Formation inside.

"It seems when I come out, I really should thank this Zen Master properly. What a great person!"

A smile gradually appeared on Qin Feng's lips.

At this moment, the people at the front of the line had already started walking towards a white-glowing teleportation array, clearly about to depart for the so-called mine.

"Da Huang Mine, here I come!"

"Brothers, this trip of mine will surely bring great wealth and status. When I come out, I'll treat you all to sleep with Fairies at the Red Apricot Pavilion!"

...

Countless Immortals in the queue were incredibly excited, while Qin Feng shook his head.

"I can't believe I'm doing worse and worse."

Back in Qinghe Ward, he could start from scratch by collecting discarded pills, but now he's reduced to mining…

Just as Qin Feng felt bitter, his footsteps had unconsciously entered the range of the teleportation array.

Enveloped by this white light, Qin Feng immediately felt his internal organs begin to stir, and at the same time, the Space Worms hidden in space continuously transmitted restless auras.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the Space Worms can't keep up with this teleportation array?"

Qin Feng looked surprised, but soon the Space Worm Queen, hidden in space, transmitted a signal: This wasn't restlessness, but excitement!

This Da Huang Mine contained something of great benefit to them!
