After going up the mountain, Jiang Beiran quickly learned the content of his trial from the Taoist chief.

"Beiran, cultivation is something that requires hard work and perseverance, and mining is the best way to exercise these two qualities. As long as you persevere and pass the test of the mountain guard, the poor Daoist will come to pick you up. Zong."

Leaving behind these words and Jiang Beiran, who was full of fighting spirit, the priest in black robe turned around and went down the mountain.

‘Master, I will definitely work hard to repay you for this kindness! ’

After swearing secretly in his heart, Jiang Beiran followed a mountain guard into the mine.

However, such ambitions were completely extinguished the next day, for the simple reason that mining was so tiring!

Before Jiang Beiran crossed over, he was just an ordinary second-year student. He hadn't even attended a few physical education classes, so his physical fitness was quite poor.

After crossing over, his body has not strengthened much, and the food is not nutritious, so it is not an exaggeration to describe his body as skinny.

Without any training, Jiang Beiran was taken to a mine by two mountain guards early the next morning. After getting to know a few taciturn workers, the mountain guard gave him a basket and a mining pick and told him to work hard.

In Jiang Beiran's imagination, mining should be like hitting a piece of ore a few times, just like in a computer game.

However, in reality, the stench, stuffiness, darkness, and the narrow environment of the mine made him stunned. Where did he see such a posture when he was in junior high school not long ago?

But the two mountain guards obviously didn't intend to give him time to prepare mentally, and pushed him directly to the "Wall Road" propped up by wooden boards.

Because of the different heights of the "Worth Road", Jiang Beiran sometimes walked standing, sometimes squatting, and sometimes even rolled on his back like a beetle, so just when he arrived at the mining site, his physical strength was almost exhausted.

There was no rest time. As soon as he arrived at the place, he was urged by two mountain guards to dig. As the saying goes, it is not difficult to watch people carry the burden. Jiang Beiran used to watch those workers wielding hoes on TV and always wondered how much effort it would take. ?

However, in reality, he just smashed it a dozen times, and his throat was so tired that fire was burning in his eyes, and his hands seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't lift them up at all.

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Beiran, whose hands were sore, leaned on the mining pick and desperately tried to inhale some fresh air, but there was only a smell like gas in the mine, which made him feel dizzy the more he smelled it.

"Who let you rest, do you still want to pass the trial?"

Just when Jiang Beiran was about to faint, a mountain guard stepped up and pushed him.

Hearing the word "trial", Jiang Beiran took a breath again and wanted to continue fighting, but he couldn't lift his hands.

'Ugh! I'm so useless, I'm sorry, master, the disciple has disappointed you. ’

After scolding himself in his heart, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "I... I really can't dig it."

"You've only dug a few times? You can't dig anymore, and you still want to join the sect?"

"Yes... I am useless. I will apologize to the Taoist priest. I let him down. I'm sorry."

Jiang Beiran sighed deeply, feeling in his heart that the protagonists of the novels he had read were all capable of bursting with incomparable tenacity for the sake of cultivation, how could he be so weak? .

In his heart, Jiang Beiran admitted that he was weak and was preparing to accept the defeat calmly, when he felt a sudden pain in his abdomen.

"Damn it! It's such a waste. The few people who came in in front have been fighting for months to enter that bird sect, and you're a jerk on the first day."

The guardian of the mountain gave Jiang Beiran another kick as he spoke.

Jiang Beiran was stunned by these two kicks, and only felt a whirlwind, buzzing in his head, and an ominous premonition rushed to his heart.

However, before he could figure it out, the mountain guard squatted down and grabbed his hair and shouted, "You rubbish, listen to Lao Tzu, do you really think you are a genius to enter the sect and become a master? Let me tell you, you are just a piece of trash, now give Lao Tzu a good dig, if you can't dig, Lao Tzu will kill you, understand!?"

Jiang Beiran shook his head and shouted, "I want to see my master, I want to see my master."

"Your master? Hahahaha." The mountain guard laughed wildly and asked, "What is your master's name?"

"My master's name is...my master's name is..."

Jiang Beiran was stunned again. After two days, the Taoist priest never told him his name, and he never asked.

"I... my master is a Taoist from Lihuozong. He brought me here yesterday. I want to see him, I want to see him!"

"Hahahaha." The laughter of the mountain guard became even more frantic, and then he kicked Jiang Beiran's stomach again: "I'm still away from Huozong, let's dream of your Spring and Autumn Period, I'll give you two choices now, Either continue to stand up and dig, or lie down and be kicked to death by me, you only have three seconds."

As soon as the guardian's voice fell, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Continue lying down. Completion Reward: Qinglian Secret Record (Lower Earth Grade)]

[Option 2: Ask the other party to let you go down the mountain. Completion reward: Earth Fire Art (high-grade Xuan level)]

[Option 3: Get up and continue mining. Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

"2!"

When Jiang Beiran looked at the options, the mountain guard had already counted to 2 and kicked him in the stomach again.

At this moment, Jiang Beiran realized! He understands that the content of these options is not important at all, just look at the reward. The better the reward, the more dangerous this option is!

Because judging from the strength of the kick just now, Jiang Beiran completely believed that the other party dared to kick him to death. If he continued to lie down, he would definitely die.

So before the "3" in Shoushan's mouth was about to shout, Jiang Beiran immediately chose three, and stood up with a strong will to survive.

"Very good, isn't it still powerful, just dig if you don't want to die! Do you hear me!?"

Although Jiang Beiran was trembling all over at this time, in order to survive, he still tried his best to lift the mining pick and smash it down.

[Optional task has been completed, reward: Constitution +1]

Jiang Beiran was stunned when he saw the system prompts that floated up before and the traces of strength gushing out of his body.

'Just finished it? ’

Before, he didn't give a reward at all when he chose [Begging the Daoist to accept me as a disciple], but it became a task, but now he just got the reward directly after completing the content of the option.

The huge difference in difficulty simply stunned him.

"What are you stunned for again!?"

Hearing the mountain guard... oh no, the overseer shouted angrily, Jiang Beiran hurriedly continued to raise the mining pick and knock.
