C4 True Essence of Astral Plane
Fang Baiyi directed the uncontrollable True Qi back into his Dantian before jumping off the bed sweating profusely, exhaling a long breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his mind. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 4 PM. He mumbled to himself, "I'm finally done!" It's time to go out and find work! " Thinking about this, Fang Baiyi regretted that he didn't let the Ring of Suppressing Heaven, which possessed tremendous mana, give him some golden flowers. Thinking about this, Fang Baiyi regretted that he didn't let the Ring of Suppressing Heaven, which possessed tremendous mana, give him some golden flowers. At this moment, Fang Baiyi did not know that the Heavenly Dipper Qi he cultivated was quite different from that of ordinary cultivators. Firstly, he possessed the Seven Stars Artery, and secondly, the first Heavenly Rings treasure had used a great amount of mana to reform his physique; therefore, the might of this Heavenly Astral Qi was truly no small matter.
Fang Baiyi had some food on the street before taking a taxi to the talent market. Rural workers like him, who had no education, were looking for work in the informal talent market. Standing amongst a group of rural laborers, Fang Baiyi looked at the looks of anticipation from these simple people, as well as the picky and disdainful gazes from the employers, and his heart was filled with unhappiness.
A middle-aged man dressed in elegant attire with a leather bag under his arm stood in front of Fang Baiyi, nodding his head in satisfaction as he looked at Fang Baiyi, who was wearing cheap clothes. At this time, Fang Baiyi had already reached mastery of his Heavenly Dipper Qi, and his muscular body almost burst out from within his black T-shirt. He had a 1.83 meter head, and a pair of eyes that occasionally flashed with a purple light. Although his attire was simple, it was still an unforgettable sight. The middle-aged man circled around Fang Baiyi, sizing him up from head to toe.
"Young man, how old are you this year? Where did you come from?!"
When Fang Baiyi saw an employer knocking on his door, he answered with a smile, "I'm from Henan, and I'm twenty years old this year! I wonder what kind of person boss is looking for! As long as you don't mind me eating. " As he spoke, he took out his ID and handed it over.
The middle-aged man didn't pick up his ID and instead laughed. "Oh, Henan people!" He hesitated. "Young man, you look big and you look loyal and honest. How about this! I have a construction site under construction that needs to look after the construction materials. I'll give you a thousand dollars a month to manage your food. What do you think? "
A pie from the sky! 'Fang Baiyi was overjoyed. Heh heh, I just found a job standing here. Fang Baiyi knew that it would be very easy to see the construction site, as long as the building materials weren't stolen. However, a construction boss would usually let his relatives see it. Why would this contractor want to find an outsider? No matter what, a thousand a month was not enough to stop Fang Baiyi from eating! He hurriedly nodded his head to show that he was willing. At this moment, the people who were waiting for work surrounded him and said in a messy voice, "Boss, do you want a mason?" "Ah, does the boss want a carpenter or not!
"Sorry everyone, we are not lacking in manpower on the construction site. We just need one to look after the site. I've already found the person!"
My surname is Zhang! This is my name card, do you have anything to pack up with? If you do, you can go back and pack up. "If you don't have us, you can leave now!" The boss ignored the group of workers and took out a name card before handing it to Fang Baiyi.
How could Fang Baiyi have any luggage to pack? Only a few pieces of fresh clothes were still lying on the table in the hotel. However, they were all old and worn out. Besides, he was worried that he would lose his job if he didn't hurry. He didn't even look at his business card before getting into the car parked by the side of the road. On the way, he found out that Boss Zhang was from Anhui province and had opened a construction company in Shanghai in the past eight years. Now, he was in the process of building a building in the new development area of the east suburbs. As for the reason why he had invited outsiders to take a look at the construction site, he did not mention it, and Fang Baiyi was too embarrassed to ask.
After walking for half an hour on the road, they finally arrived at the eastern suburbs. Fang Baiyi looked around and saw piles of rocks, steel bars, and cement — all of them were building materials. There were cranes and scaffolding everywhere, and the workers were wearing hard hats as they worked in a hurry. Some of the buildings had already been built and some of them had only just been built. On the other hand, Boss Zhang's building, Building No. 12, had only been built to the third floor.
Fang Baiyi followed Boss Zhang out of the car as he arrived at site number 12. However, he keenly felt that there was an unusual aura on the site; it was permeating with an indescribable smell. The Heavenly Energy in his body surged as if it was attracted by something. How could this be! Just as Fang Baiyi was about to leave, Boss Zhang called over a contractor with the surname Li, asking him to arrange food, shelter and work for Fang Baiyi. In fact, there was nothing much to arrange. There was a simple room next to Building 12 with a complete bed inside. This was the temporary residence of Fang Baiyi and the other three recruits. Squadron Leader Li called the other three lads over and had them lead Fang Baiyi around to familiarize him with the environment. After telling Fang Baiyi how to work, he went back to his own work. The young people soon became very familiar with each other. Although the Mandarin of the four of them had a very strong dialect characteristic, they were still chatting very enthusiastically. While chatting, Chinese white clothes learned that He Ming was from Sichuan, Zhang Liang and Li Jian were from Hunan. All three of them were hired by Boss Zhang from the street yesterday.
By seven o'clock, it was already dark. The workers got off their scaffolding and left the construction site. In an instant, only Fang Baiyi, He Ming, Zhang Liang, and He Jian were left to look at the construction site. The four of them looked at each other, and Fang Baiyi was even more puzzled. When these workers left, they were all in a hurry for unknown reasons. According to He Ming and the other two, it was like this yesterday. When it was time to get off work, these workers ran faster than the last. The three of them had once asked Captain Li, but he didn't say anything.
The kitchen was in a makeshift shed four hundred meters from the twelfth construction site, where the four of them were having dinner. Fang Baiyi was more cautious as he pricked up his ears to listen to what the people around him were saying. Hearing this, Fang Baiyi was startled. So the construction site was not clean. The people who were originally here to watch the construction were the brother-in-law of Owner Zhang, brother-in-law, and a few others. Then one day they all fainted in the basement of Building 12, and when they woke up they were all scared out of their wits and went home. Boss Zhang hired a few nurses to watch the construction site but no one knew what happened. They all fainted in the basement and then all quit and went home. Hearing this, Fang Baiyi was surprised. He finally understood why Boss Zhang spent a thousand yuan a month to invite outsiders to take a look at the construction site, and also why he had a strong and robust physique. Fang Baiyi was not too afraid of the construction site because of the Ring of Suppressing Heaven in his body. On the contrary, a wave of curiosity rose in his heart. What was the reason for this? He definitely had to go into the basement tonight to take a look. However, he didn't dare to mention this matter to Zhang Liang and the other two because it might have scared them.
After dinner, some workers went out for a stroll while others went back to the workshop to rest. Meanwhile, the four of them went back to site number 12. At this time, the construction site was lit up with high-power lights to prevent people from stealing the building materials. At this time, the construction site's guards began to get busy. Fang Baiyi and his gang were no exception. They made a circle around Block 22, which was like a giant beast, then checked the room that held the cement and steel bars, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. The four of them discussed and divided into two groups, roaming around for two hours each before returning to bed. He Ming and Zhang Liang moved from 8: 00 to 10: 00, followed by Fang Baiyi and Li Jian. Before He Ming and Zhang Liang left, Fang Baiyi repeatedly told them to hurry back and call him if there was anything abnormal, but the two of them just laughed and whistled as they left.
After the two of them left, Li Jian laughed, "Haha, what are you doing? You seem to have gone crazy with all these construction work together, and all the labourers are sleeping in sheds not far from here. What will happen? "Hehe, Boss Zhang is actually pretty good. He actually offered me a thousand yuan for such a relaxed job. This month, I can send some money back to my hometown, so that my parents won't nag me for more money."
However, Fang Baiyi said faintly, "You're right. I'm just afraid that someone might come to steal something from the ground, so … forget it. Maybe I'm being overly careful, you should go to sleep first!" He Jian smiled but did not say anything. He just laid on the bed and read a novel by himself while Fang Baiyi walked out of his room.
Outside, the moonlight washed away the quiet of the day, replacing the noise of the day. The bright lights on the construction site lit up the empty building number 12 as if it were day, but the shadows of the site number 12 that couldn't be illuminated by the lights seemed gloomy, and piles of sand and rocks stared coldly at Fang Baiyi like monsters. Waves of cold air came from the shadow, as if there was a pair of weird eyes peeking at Fang Baiyi from the shadows. Fang Baiyi could not help but feel his heart tighten as an uncomfortable feeling spread through him. The accumulated Heavenly Dipper Qi in his body started to react abruptly, and a faint green light flashed in the depths of the basement of Building Twelve.
"Haha, interesting. I never thought that this place would actually have a thousand-year Blood Drake, hehe … " The voice of Zhentian, who hadn't spoken for an entire day, rang out.
