Chapter 1567: Unspoken Rules

The fellow who suddenly appeared looked like a member of the younger generation . His clothes were stained with soot, and he held a shovel over his shoulder .
Just from that getup, if Yi Yun did not know he was in the Chaos Heavens or didn't sense a substantial Yuan Qi fluctuation from the person, he might have very well thought he was seeing a coal heaver from his previous incarnation .
"Heh! You new here?" greeted the person as he looked rather amiable . "My name is Tie Mu . Nice to meet you . "
As Tie Mu spoke, he extended a soot-covered palm .
The striking of palms was a basic form of courtesy in the Chaos Heavens, akin to the shaking of hands in Yi Yun's previous life . Yi Yun did not mind Tie Mu's dirty palm as he struck it with his own .
"I'm Yi Yun . Brother Tie Mu, why are you covered in soot? Isn't the spirit cruiser enroute without any mining being done at the moment?" asked Yi Yun .
"There aren't ores to mine, but there is extraction to be done . That is a tiresome chore too, but the benefit is you won't die from it . Haha!"
Tie Mu chuckled and did not seem to take the immense danger of mining to heart . Perhaps, he was just used to it .
Without a doubt, the Chaos Heavens was a cruel place, far crueler than the Sinkhole . And it was precisely for this reason that it gave birth to so many experts . Without the strength or background to endure here, it was easy to die a tragic death .
"Unfortunately, the extraction of ores doesn't pay much . We are just given half a kilogram of ores a month . After deducting the Yuan Qi expenditure, we will lose out a little . "
"Lose out?" Yi Yun was taken aback as he was baffled . "If you are making losses, why do it?"
"Haha! There's no other choice . If you don't do it, there's more to lose! It's common to encounter danger in the void . We would be roped in to power the array formations, and that only expends our Yuan Qi even faster . Although we are given some compensation for that, it's completely insufficient . If we busy ourselves extracting ores, at the very least, we will not be assigned to power the array formations . "
"To those of us in mining, Yuan Qi is life . Once you expend too much of it and do not get enough compensation, you might die the next time you go down the mines . If you survive and deliver the sufficient ores, that would net quite a handsome reward . It's enough for daily expenditures and even possibly leaves some for cultivation . "
"Using Chaos Ores for cultivation is a very extravagant deed . Haha, I have been in mining for so long, but I have only had the opportunity to do so a few times . That feeling is seriously… awesome!"
Tie Mu seemed intoxicated by his recollections, but that expression only lasted a second before he froze .
He saw a black-robed man walk over . The man was extremely thin and short, reaching only Tie Mu's chest . His face was pale and seemed devoid of blood . He looked like a corpse, and because he was thin, his facial skin looked scrunched up with immense fine wrinkles .
Yi Yun could sense an aura unlike a human's from the person's body .
"He's from the Soul race…" Bai Yueyin said via voice transmission .
"Oh?" Yi Yun pricked up his brows . This was the first time he was seeing another race in the Chaos Heavens . There were records of the Soul race in the notes left behind by the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch .
Years ago, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had experienced a life-and-death battle and his opponent was the strongest figure of the Soul race . The Dao Originator Celestial Thearch called him Soul Emperor .
This race bore a deep resemblance to humans, but their psyche powers were extraordinarily potent . The cultivation techniques they cultivated in were different from humans and typically followed the path of the soul .
"Leader Cang Gu . " Tie Mu squeezed out an ugly smile .
