"Congratulations, congratulations to Junior Brother Xu on your breakthrough!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xu, on your advancement."

Hong Quan smiled and bowed, and Duer also congratulated him with a bitter face!

"Come on, I'll buy you a drink, I have something to ask you."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Don't get drunk, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Have a drink, let's go!"

As the three of them were talking, they came to a nearby tavern.

This tavern was opened by an elderly man who had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage. He only sold wine but did not brew it. Although his wine was not as authentic as the one brewed by immortals, it also had a unique flavor.

"Come, I toast to you two!"

Xu Changshou poured three full glasses of wine, picked up one and said with a smile.

The two smiled knowingly and raised their glasses at the same time: "Congratulations."

"drink!"

Xu Changshou drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and shouted that he was refreshed.

Over the past decade, he has been saving money, practicing, saving money, practicing, and never dared to slack off. During this period, he has not even touched a drop of alcohol.

After drinking a glass of wine today, I felt that the fatigue brought by more than ten years of hard training was instantly swept away.

Wine is a good thing, but not in excess.

"What are you doing!"

"Junior Brother Xu, are you crazy? You won't be working tomorrow?"

Seeing Xu Changshou drink two taels of wine in one breath, both of them became nervous.

The wine-making standards of the Sangyu Immortal Realm are based on the alcohol consumption of Yuanying cultivators. An average Yuanying cultivator will feel dizzy after drinking half a catty of wine, and will be drunk after drinking a catty of wine.

The alcohol here is very strong. If you get drunk, you won’t be able to wake up the next day and won’t be able to go to work.

Xu Changshou drank two taels of liquor in one gulp. If he continued to drink like this, he would be drunk after just a few sips.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Changshou laughed: "I won't go to work tomorrow, and I won't go to work again in the future."

That’s right, Xu Changshou decided to escape from hard labor.

He didn't dare to leave before because his strength was too weak, and it was safer to follow Li Ziyao.

Now, Xu Changshou's strength is no less than Li Ziyao's, and he does not need Li Ziyao's protection, so there is no need for him to follow Li Ziyao and do hard labor.

In the world of immortal cultivation in Sangyu, no matter who you are, as long as you have a certain level of strength, you can escape from hard labor.

However, it is not easy to escape from hard labor. You can't escape it just by wanting to.

Duer smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? You are only in the middle stage of Yuanying. With your cultivation level, it is a question whether you can survive after escaping the hard labor."

"That's it."

Hong Quan also advised: "With your current strength, you are not yet qualified to escape from hard labor. Be patient. When you reach the late Nascent Soul stage, we can leave together so that we can take care of each other."

Xu Changshou glanced at Hong Quan and asked, "Are you also planning to escape from hard labor?"

"Yes!"

Hong Quan nodded. "If it weren't for helplessness, who would be willing to be driven around by others? To be honest, I've already bought my flying sword, and my strength has improved considerably. Next, I plan to earn money to redeem myself. I'll endure for another hundred years. Once I break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and earn enough money to redeem myself, I'll be free from hard labor."

"Ok!"

Xu Changshou smiled and nodded. It was obvious that Hong Quan planned everything he did.

He glanced at Du'er and asked, "Junior Brother Du, when do you plan to be free from hard labor?"

Upon hearing this, Duer's smile became even more bitter. "I've only just managed to scrape together enough money to send back home. It will take me some time to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, let alone the late stage. It's impossible to escape from hard labor in the short term. Besides, I can't even afford the money to redeem myself."

"That's true……"

Xu Changshou was silent. Everyone wanted to escape from hard labor, but not everyone could.

Given Duer's situation, he will never be able to escape from hard labor unless he works for a few hundred years.

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou filled the glass with wine, and felt a little sympathetic towards Du'er. He raised his glass and said, "Junior brother Du'er, I toast you."

"drink!"

Duer picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, seeming to be in a bad mood.

Hong Quan frowned: "Junior Brother Du, drink less, you still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Go to work! I need to take tomorrow off."

Duer slammed the table and suddenly burst into anger. For a moment, everyone in the tavern was alarmed.

The people drinking in the tavern were all convicts. Seeing this, they all shook their heads and understood Duer's behavior.

"Alright, alright, Junior Brother Du, you'll get better slowly."

"Yes, yes, Junior Brother Du, everything will be fine."

Xu Changshou and Hong Quan both tried to persuade him.

They all knew that Duer had given all his money over the past decade to his family, leaving him with no money for a breakthrough and making him very depressed.

Soon, Duer regained his composure, took another sip of wine, and consoled himself: "One day, sooner or later, I will be free from hard labor."

Du'er drank in silence, and Xu Changshou picked up another glass of wine: "Brother Hong, let's have a drink."

"Okay, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't drink too much."

"up to you."

"Good good!"

"By the way, Senior Brother Hong, do you know what the conditions are for escaping hard labor?"

Xu Changshou put down his wine glass and asked.

"Forehead……"

Hong Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, to escape from hard labor, three conditions must be met."

"Which three?"

"First, pay 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones to redeem yourself."

"Ok!"

Xu Changshou nodded. He knew this. All hard laborers had to pay 100,000 yuan to redeem themselves in the end. This was one of the means used by the upper class to exploit the lower-level monks.

"Secondly, to be released from hard labor, I need Senior Sister Li Ziyao's consent."

"Third, the lowest level of cultivation is the late Nascent Soul stage."

"Isn't the middle stage of Nascent Soul enough?" Xu Changshou frowned.

Hong Quan shook his head. "It's not that it's impossible, but a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul cannot survive on their own. As long as you have money and can afford the 100,000 spirit stones required to redeem yourself, even a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul can redeem himself."

"Generally speaking, if someone has reached the late Nascent Soul stage and doesn't have any impressive spells or even a top-grade flying sword, it's best not to escape from hard labor."

"understood!"

Xu Changshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Theoretically, as long as you have 100,000 spirit stones to redeem yourself and get Li Ziyao's approval, you can be freed from hard labor."

Hong Quan nodded: "That's right."

"I want to be free from hard labor."

Xu Changshou smiled. He had 500,000 yuan, so paying 100,000 yuan to redeem her was nothing.

As for Li Ziyao, humph! She had to agree whether she agreed or not.

Duer frowned: "Senior Brother Xu, please think twice."

Hong Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Junior Brother Xu, I know I can't persuade you, but listen to me, it's best not to leave the coolie, otherwise, whether you can survive or not will be a problem."

"Thank you both, I have made up my mind."

"There's no point in talking any more, just drink."

"Senior Brother Xu, congratulations in advance."

"Hahaha……"

……

"Hahaha, Boss Wushuang, today's my treat."

"That's what you said."

"Let's drink to our heart's content today!"

There was a sudden noise outside.
