The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1319 - 1320: There’s a Problem

As long as they work for three hours, they can rest and do whatever they want during the remaining time.

There is food and drink, they can wash up, wear new clothes, and stay clean.

Such days, for them, are simply heavenly; they all obediently follow Mu Xin's orders.

Mu Xin himself is also part of the rotating shifts, not making any exceptions, participating in the mining work.

If there is a cave-in unexpectedly in the mining area, there is no need to worry about safety.

The patrolling eight-eyed Divine Race ghost shadows will swiftly save them.

Even after being saved, they haven't yet realized what has happened.

Although the yield of this mine is far less than other mines because it's not filled with lives.

But in Lin Qian's view, it is orderly and thriving, fitting the environment of the Huaxia Empire.

Lin Qian nods at this, quite satisfied.

At least Mu Xin has submitted an answer sheet to him that is satisfactory enough, passing such a test.

"Everything seems fine, not bad." With this thought, Lin Qian's gaze also landed on Mu Xin, "Mu Xin, are you willing to become my apprentice?"

On the ground, Mu Xin pressed his forehead against the floor, prostrated, not daring to move, quietly waiting for Lin Qian's answer.

However, he never expected such a question would come.

Not reprimand, nor praise and commendation, but asking him to be a disciple?

Mu Xin raised his head and widened his eyes: "Your Majesty, I…"

"What, you're not willing?"

"I am willing, I am willing!" Mu Xin hurriedly shouted, banging his head on the ground fiercely before Lin Qian, "Master, I bow to my teacher."

At this moment, Mu Xin is inwardly ecstatic, knowing that from now on, he will begin a completely new life.

Seeing Mu Xin like this, Lin Qian also smiled, with his hands behind his back.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, Mu Xin is excellent and adept at seizing them.

Subsequently, Lin Qian summoned everyone on the mining plaza for the apprenticeship ceremony.

Amidst envious looks, Mu Xin became Lin Qian's disciple, the second under him.

In the mining area, many resting places and houses have been built.

At this moment, Lin Qian was sitting inside Mu Xin's house, a stone house built from polished mining waste.

Upon entering, Lin Qian enveloped it with soul energy, sealing the area off.

He sat on a simple stone chair, not minding at all, while Mu Xin knelt before him.

"Your bloodline is quite unique; as part of the human clan you possess a Martial Soul, yet your soul energy is different from others." Lin Qian said to Mu Xin, "Your soul energy is characterized by violence and specializes in killing."

"Moreover, not only you, but all humans in this Small World have changed; their soul energy and Martial Souls contain resentment and evil energy, which can disturb minds during combat."

"Here is a Cultivation Technique and a soul skill tailored for you; practice it diligently."

On the floor, Mu Xin moved forward and received the cultivation technique and soul skills gifted by Lin Qian, carefully storing them as treasures.

"You are my second disciple, your senior brother is named Tong Zixuan, and I will introduce you to him later."

"For this period, focus on your cultivation, mining is not something you should handle directly." Lin Qian spoke, "In the future, you will temporarily manage this Small World, to practice. Outside awaits a broader world for you."

Mu Xin, upon hearing Lin Qian's words, felt somewhat bewildered, looking blankly at Lin Qian: "Master, what does managing this Small World mean? Isn't it controlled by the eight-eyed Divine Race that I...?"

"Soon enough, I will annihilate the eight-eyed Divine Race entirely, this place needs to be managed anew, and someone must be responsible." Saying this, Lin Qian handed Mu Xin a Grotto Heaven soul device, in the form of a ring, to the astonished Mu Xin.

"I have given you what you need, do not disappoint me."

After saying this, Lin Qian left the stone house, leaving Mu Xin stunned.

To annihilate the eight-eyed Divine Race, Mu Xin twitched slightly, suddenly feeling that he encountered a master more terrifying than he had imagined.

Initially, he thought his master was merely a formidable figure and leader.

A head force from the outside world, having infiltrated with something planned.

Eventually, he expected they all would be rescued by him.

Yet in actuality, his master did not intend to save them but to annihilate the eight-eyed Divine Race here.

"Can it really be done?" Mu Xin is somewhat anxious inside.

Soon, a figure suddenly scuttled into the stone house.

This person was none other than Mu Sheng, his younger sister. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

When Lin Qian left initially, he indicated that everything here would be under Mu Xin's control.

Thus, he let everyone here choose their own names.

His sister chose the name Sheng, similar sounding to Sheng as in new life.

The names of both siblings, together, symbolize new life.

Lin Qian, upon knowing this, praised it, saying Mu Xin did well.

"Brother, what did the master say?" Mu Sheng asked curiously, looking at her brother with admiration, "I didn't expect you to become master's disciple, amazing!"

Mu Xin took a deep breath, patting his younger sister on the head: "Yes, but from now on, your brother needs to work even harder, not letting the master down."

After leaving the mine, Lin Qian returned directly to the main city, heading towards the Promotion Hall in the west.

There, one could use mined Soul Crystals to exchange for contributions.

According to the rules of the eight-eyed Divine Race, the Soul Crystals to exchange contributions must be mined, not from one's personal collection.

In ten years, the production rate of the mine was indeed lower than others, but Lin Qian had enough slaves to make up for it.

Unexpectedly for Lin Qian, during the ten-year period, the contribution needed was successfully echanged through Mu Xin's leadership, worth a rank one noble status.

Upon leaving the Promotion Hall, Lin Qian's wardrobe had changed, with a golden pupil embroidered on the left chest, signifying him as a rank one noble.

Only nobility could wear clothes with pupils on the left chest.

If anyone dared to wear them without status, it was punishable by death.

A rank one noble has one golden Divine Pupil.

Likewise, a rank five noble would have five Divine Pupils.

The direct descendants of the eight-eyed Divine Race had six pupils on the left chest, possibly symbolizing the Six-eyed Divine Son.

"The Library!" After obtaining rank one noble status, Lin Qian could openly enter it.

Taking action immediately, Lin Qian headed towards the location of the library.

The library is located in the north of the city, near the vicinity of the direct descendants' residence.

However, Lin Qian was unaware that in the black street, an eight-eyed Divine Race member was holding a purple Pupil Coin, frowning.

"There's a problem!"
