Duobao saw that Bai Yao also had a look of disdain, and knew what Bai Yao was thinking!
Duobao did not offer much explanation. Rather than trying to persuade him himself, it was better to let him try it out. Otherwise, no matter how much he said, it would be in vain!
Duobao shook his head and walked to the side. Seeing Duobao leave, Bai Yao picked up his tools and began to mine!
Bai Yao swung his tools with all his might towards the ore vein. To his surprise, sparks flew as the pickaxe touched the ore vein, and a powerful force surged back into his hand!
Bai Yao's hands went numb from the shock, and he looked at his tingling hands in disbelief!
Duobao saw Bai Yao's expression and smiled faintly. He had expected it and was not surprised.
Bai Yao did not expect the ore vein to be so hard. He had some cultivation, yet after one swing of the pickaxe, it only left a small white mark!
Bai Yao finally understood what Duobao meant by his words just now!
In the Taiqing Palace, Taishang raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw Jinjiao and Yinjiao return.
"Bai Yao was sent to Yuqing Peak?"
Jinjiao nodded:
"Master, when can young master Bai return? I'm afraid he won't be able to endure it on Yuqing Peak!"
Seeing Jinjiao wanting to plead for Bai Yao, Taishang shook his head and said:
"He will return when the time comes. By the way, when did you two little fellows from the herb garden get brought back?"
Jinjiao, who had originally wanted to plead for Bai Yao to suffer less, was surprised that Taishang had discovered the two little fellows in the herb garden!
Jinjiao and Yinjiao's faces stiffened, and they stammered:
"Master, it was when you sent us out to find pine trees. Their home was on the pine tree we fancied, so, so..."
Seeing Jinjiao and Yinjiao's hesitant appearance, Taishang chuckled and shook his head.
"Why are you stammering? I'm not blaming you. Those two little fellows are not ordinary. Since they have a destiny with you, take good care of them. However, don't let them enter the herb garden without permission. When you have time, transplant a pine tree for them to settle down!"
Seeing that Taishang was not angry, Jinjiao immediately said happily:
"Yes, Master, we will go and find a superior pine tree for them now!"
Taishang nodded and waved his hand at Jinjiao and Yinjiao.
"Go! Go!"
After Jinjiao and Yinjiao left the Taiqing Palace, they first went to the herb garden. Looking at the two little fellows sleeping soundly, Jinjiao and Yinjiao stroked their heads and ruffled their fur.
"Little ones, from now on, you will be part of our herb garden. We will find a place for you to settle down soon!"
Yinjiao was also petting one of the little fellows and said to Jinjiao:
"Big brother, since Master already knows about them and allows them to stay, why don't we give them names?"
Jinjiao nodded, looked at the two sleeping little fellows, and pondered for a moment before looking at Yinjiao.
"How about the white one be called Taxue, and the black one be called Wuyun? Together, they are Wuyun Taxue!"
Yinjiao nodded, looking at the sleeping little fellows, unable to hide the affection in his eyes.
"Wuyun Taxue, a good name!"
After Jinjiao and Yinjiao named Wuyun Taxue, they left the herb garden together and went down the mountain to find a pine tree for Wuyun Taxue to settle down in.
After leaving the mountain gate, Jinjiao and Yinjiao immediately returned to the forest where they had first encountered Wuyun Taxue and found an old pine tree.
Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at the majestic old pine tree in front of them, its branches laden with countless pine cones. The brothers exchanged glances and decided to take this old pine tree to be the new home for Wuyun Taxue.
Once the brothers made up their minds, Yinjiao immediately cast a spell to loosen all the soil around the roots of the old pine tree, and Jinjiao quickly stored it away.
Then, they immediately returned to the herb garden on Yuqing Peak. Jinjiao and Yinjiao saw that Wuyun Taxue had woken up and were happily hopping among the spirit fruit trees near the herb garden.
Upon their return, Jinjiao and Yinjiao immediately chose a suitable spot near the herb garden and planted the old pine tree.
The herb garden on Yuqing Peak had been diligently managed by Taishang and Jinjiao and Yinjiao. Taishang had even thrown many good things into it, which resulted in the spiritual energy in the herb garden being much denser than in other places, and even the spiritual energy near the herb garden was not low.
After the old pine tree was planted, there was no unusual reaction, but its vitality seemed to have increased.
Meanwhile, Wuyun Taxue, who had been playing among the spirit fruit trees, had their eyes light up when they saw the old pine tree, especially seeing the countless pine cones hanging on it. Wuyun Taxue's eyes were glued to it, and they immediately jumped down from the spirit fruit trees and rushed towards the old pine tree.
Jinjiao and Yinjiao were relieved to see that Wuyun Taxue liked the old pine tree so much.
Jinjiao looked at the sky, which was gradually darkening, and suddenly thought of something!
"Little brother, you watch over the herb garden!"
Yinjiao looked at Jinjiao in confusion.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
"Doesn't young master Bai love to eat bamboo shoots the most? I'll go and bring him some. He's worked hard all day. There's nothing he likes on the Second Master's Yuqing Peak. Although he's been punished by the Master, he's still one of us from Taiqing Peak!"
Yinjiao nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'll be here in the herb garden. Go quickly, big brother!"
Upon hearing this, Jinjiao immediately went to the bamboo forest next to the Taiqing Palace, found some fresh bamboo shoots, and headed towards Yuqing Peak.
At the summit of Yuqing Peak, Bai Yao, tired after a day of labor, had filled his basket of ore by noon.
Bai Yao looked at the full basket of ore and let out a long sigh. He immediately lay down on the ground, looking at the dim sky, and somewhat missed his days on Taiqing Peak.
He remembered that when he was in the Taiqing Palace, he was either comfortably lying in his bamboo sea eating bamboo shoots, or comfortably receiving medicinal baths and massages from Jinjiao and Yinjiao in the bathtub.
Although he was often beaten by Jinjiao and Yinjiao in Taiqing, it seemed to be more comfortable than here on Yuqing Peak.
Especially when Bai Yao had free time, he felt sore all over and exhausted.
Bai Yao suddenly regretted coming to Yuqing Peak. He was so comfortable on Taiqing Peak, why did he have to come here to suffer?
Seeing Bai Yao lying on the ground, Duobao immediately said:
"Bai Yao, don't lie there, take the ore to the teleportation array immediately!"
This teleportation array was set up by Yuanshi. As long as these ores were placed in the teleportation array, it would automatically transmit them to the warehouse of the Taiqing Palace.
Bai Yao said helplessly:
"Senior brother Duobao, I'm too tired. Can I rest for a while?"
Duobao immediately shook his head.
"Little junior brother, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you. Look at your twelve senior brothers and sisters, who don't mine dozens of baskets every day? I'm giving you a break because you're new. Tomorrow, your output will have to double. Otherwise, if you don't finish, I'll be punished too!"
Bai Yao looked at Duobao in disbelief!
If it doubled tomorrow, wouldn't he be worked to death?
