12. The three families

Mining spirit gold has never been an easy mission to secure. There were a lot of people interested in the mission, meaning that you either had to pay a heavy price or have strong connections to even be listed for the mission. With Fang Yang's poor circumstances and Low cultivation level, it was impossible to have either the money, strength or connections to meet these requirements.

He never would have expected his Senior sister Zhou to be so powerful! She could actually slot him onto a mining mission on such short notice!

A little curious, Fang Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Sister Zhou, how did you get this mission for me in the first place?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Meili couldn't help but sigh.

"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Although this mission meets the requirements I told you about. There are just too many interests around the spirit gold mine, so normally I shouldn't even be able to get involved with it.

The only reason I can even get involved is because something serious has happened around the mine making it much more dangerous." Explained Zhou Meili.

"Recently there's been an outbreak of Gold-eating rats at the mine. These rats have reached an uncontrollable level, making it not only difficult to mine, but have even gone and killed a number of cultivators that have entered the mine recently."

As Fang Yang heard this, his expression changed.

Sure enough, nothing in life ever came easy.

It was too surprising that Zhou Meili could actually get him into a spirit gold mine. I'm afraid I'd it wasn't for the outbreak of gold eating rats then Fang Yang would never get this chance.

The gateway to spirit stones had opened, but now it came with life-threatening danger.

"At first I didn't want to tell you about it, but you said I should inform you of missions that require mid stage cultivator strength. Mid stage cultivator strength is the advised level of people they ask for the task, but even these mid stage Qi cultivators aren't necessarily safe as there have even been late stage Qi cultivator casualties."

Listening to Zhou Meili speak, Fang Yang paused for a minute to consider his options.

But Fang Yang only thought about it for a short while before he became determined to accept this task.

He really didn't have any way out other than this and besides, Fang Yang had not only his Battle Saint Corpse puppet but also his system to rely on.

His system was weak now, but if his guess was correct, then that was only because he hadn't absorbed enough Souls.

And what better place to get souls than the battlefield?

Thinking like this, Fang Yang knew what choice he had to make.

"Senior Sister Zhou." Said Fang Yang

"Thank you for bringing me this. This is the best task for me to take right now."

"Are you saying you're going to take this task?" Asked Zhou meili

"That's right, I'm going to take this task." Said Fang Yang.

But as it came to the next part of what he wanted to say, Fang Yang had to pause a little.

After all, what he was going to say next was really too shameless even for him.

"Senior sister Zhou, I'm still a little unprepared for the mission so I'm wondering if I can borrow some spirit stones…."

"Okay, how much do you need?"

Seeing this, Fang Yang couldn't help but feel a little guilty as he thought to himself

'Little miss, you shouldn't be so easy. That's how you end up getting played!'

But although Fang Yang thought like this, he urgently needed the spirit stones, so he shamelessly raised his voice and asked,

"I need 5, no, 10 spirit stones." said Fang Yang

Without wasting any time, Zhou Meili opened up her space bag and handed something towards Fang Yang.

Opening it up, Fang Yang was instantly left speechless!

"Hiss!"

"30 spirit stones!"

Seeing 6 times his monthly wages being dropped without a second thought, Fang Yang took a deep breath

Mommy? Sorry. Mommy?

The Money handed out was just too much that Fang Yang malfunctioned for a second. And realistically, Fang Yang couldn't be blamed!

Too Rich!

Too prodigal!

No wonder these girls are so obsessed with rich CEO's!

Seeing somebody squander six times your monthly earnings is really quite stimulating.

Right now, Fang Yang was even having second thoughts on his career choice.

Maybe a life on the sides eating soft rice wasn't so bad after all?

But after a while of admiring her wonton spending, Fang Yang couldn't help but break into a nervous sweat.

If her parents knew that their daughter was giving away spirit stones like water just to please a boy wouldn't they really come and break his legs?

Thinking like this, Fang Yang gulped nervously .

"Erm… Senior Sister Zhou. You said that you have connections to the inner sect. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are they?"

As soon as she heard this question, Zhou Meili just tilted her head in bewilderment

"From my name alone, isn't it obvious? Corpse Transformation, Zhou Family."

As soon as Fang Yang heard these words, it was like he had been suddenly struck by thunder.

"Z-Zhou family!"

Just because one had the surname Zhou didn't mean that they were part of the Zhou clan.

After all in the Corpse Ghost Sect, the Zhou Family could be said to be a real powerhouse.

The Corpse Ghost Sect was called a 'Sect', but in reality, it was more like the conglomeration of three families.

Zhou, Xiu, Shi

These three families were the founding families of the Corpse Ghost Sect, which was said to have been founded by three golden core ancestors at the time. They also correspond to the three main lineages of the Corpse Ghost Sect.

The Corpse Transformation, Zhou Family

The Ghost Control , Xiu Family

The Corpse Control, Shi Family
