Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Hu Immortal blessed land, southern district .
"Yan Yong, Yan Yong, wake up quickly . Stop sleeping, you've slept for three years already!"
A voice woke Yan Yong up from his sleep .
A lump of grey stones with a mossy surface started to vibrate, as the tremors intensified, causing the dust to disperse . From the large oval stone, four limbs and a head appeared like the blossoming of a flower .
Next, a grey rockman stood up — Yan Yong woke up from his sleep .
"Grandpa?" Yan Yong opened his eyes, looking at the rockman who woke him up, it was his eight hundred year old grandpa, the leader of the Hui Shi tribe .
"Grandpa, why did you wake me up, I want to sleep for another two to three years . " Yan Yong sighed, begrudging .
Rockmen loved to sleep . When they sleep, the curled into a ball, forming a large oval stone . Each sleeping session lasts seven to eight years .
"Stop sleeping, my grandson, you are already a hundred and eighty years old . Your father died earlier, and I cannot live much longer . In a few decades, you will be our Hui Shi tribe's new tribe leader . "
Rockmen have a long lifespan, generally a thousand years to live . Ordinary humans could barely live for a hundred years, but Yan Yong was a hundred and eighty, and had just reached adulthood .
"Grandpa, I do not want to be tribe leader . After becoming leader, I will not have time to sleep casually anymore . " Yan Yong pouted, but saw his grandpa staring angrily, and chose to shut up .
Hui Shi tribe leader chided: "Why haven't you grown up? You slept for so many years in vain . Quickly pack up, and clean the moss off you, pull off all the weed that had grown on you . Bring the offerings with you and go with grandpa to the ground, we have to meet the immortal, we cannot be disrespectful!"
"Ah? It is time to pay offerings to the immortal again? But I remember there is still a year left . " Yan Yong said as he plucked the weed off him .
After sleeping for so many years, his armpits, his groin, and back all had lots of weed . Especially the black thread grass in his groin area, they were hard as steel and curly . Every time he plucked one, Yan Yong felt great pain .
"Sigh, there is a problem this time . The immortal changed, this immortal came not too long ago, he is calling for us . " Old clan leader sighed and said with worry .
"New male immortal? I hope he is easier to speak to than that female immortal . Maybe we can discuss with him, after all, we have to contribute so much offerings every ten years, it is taxing . "
"Mm, the other tribe leaders and I also have this thought . "
. . .
On a large altar made of green rocks, Fang Yuan wore his black robe as his long black hair was let down, sitting at the main seat staring at the people below with his deep dark pupils .
There were tens of rockmen kneeling below, among them, eight were rockmen leaders, two grey rockmen, three granite rockmen, one iron rockman, one green rockman, and one white rockman .
At the same time, there were offerings .
Large amounts of ore containing gold, silver, bronze, iron, as well as other gems and jewels, Gu worms etc .
All sorts of metallic elements would grow on the rockmen's bodies as time passed . Fang Yuan looked at these offerings, understanding at once why Dang Hun palace was built so luxuriously .
If these were brought to Earth, they would be a huge asset, but here, their greatest use was to become Gu refinement materials .
Hu Immortal using these things as decoration was only her womanly love for beauty . If she could choose to exchange them for primeval stones, she would trade away all these gems and jewels without a second thought .
Among the offerings, the most valuable were Gu worms .
But these Gu were mostly rank one rock skin Gu, rank two monolith Gu . There was only one rank three Gu, stone aperture Gu .
Fang Yuan had once used this Gu, back then Spring Autumn Cicada's pressure on the aperture could not be relieved, thus when he was desperate, he used it .
The rockmen were skilled at digging, they lived deep underground . Their food was dirt, and sometimes when they dig underground, they would discover Gu worms .
"What did you say? You want to reduce the offerings?" Fang Yuan's eyes squinted as he stood up, slowly walking down the stairs, coming towards the rockmen leaders .
The rockmen were tall and huge, even when they kneeled on the ground, their shoulders were still higher than Fang Yuan's head .
"Esteemed lord immortal, our rockmen tribes have contributed so much offerings during these thirty years . During these years, the earth rumbled, the north area had floods, the east area had fires, life is difficult . These things that we managed to acquire are getting harder and harder to find . Immortal, please have mercy, and forgive our inability, reduce the offering amount by a bit . " The oldest rockmen tribe leader begged .
"That's right, lord immortal, please reduce the offerings . "
"These years, we have been decreasing in numbers . "
"Immortal, please understand, we will never forget your kindness!"
The other rockmen leaders started saying .
"Reduce the offerings? Hehehe, of course you can! In fact, I can exempt you all from these offerings . " Fang Yuan smiled kindly and warmly .
The rockmen's expression were joyous .
"But I have a condition . " Next, Fang Yuan said: "I need you all to dig a river, from the north, transport the water towards the east, to stop the fire from spreading . "
"What?!" Hearing this, the rockmen were shocked .
Quickly, they reacted, shouting loudly .
"Esteemed lord immortal, you cannot do this!"
