Outcast

Ever since Ciro fell from his position as one of the most talented, Ciro's status in the clan drop significantly and live his days in poverty.

At first, Ciro was still be given a monthly allowance of fifteen silver pieces from the clan. Once the news that Ciro's chances of recovery were impossible, it spread across the clan Ciro no longer received the monthly allowance. On top of that, he was sent to do odd jobs of O'ryanpin Family to work as an assistant or a worker.

To make ends meet, Ciro would take up odd jobs here and there. Ciro's parents died early when he was 7 years old this made him an orphan with no parents to take care of as the years go by.

The Ciro of the past could no longer accept the reality that both his mother and father died doing mission from the clan. Since then his life began to change although sad but he himself thought that this is 'reality' so he needed to strive hard in order to live.

A seven year's old child with no knowledge on how and what to do next made Ciro hard to do living. But luck really was on his side one of the elders of their clan discovers that he has the aptitude as a talented cultivator so he reported it to the clan head. What happens next changes his life. He thought 'I can finally live' that was what he expected but the next aptitude test destroyed his dream. It was the spiritual beast awakening day many elders especially the clan head was expecting good results from him.

But they never expected that his energy cube was broken (destroyed) since then the clan head and everyone who thinks highly of him sigh as they shook their heads and walk away.

Actually, Ciro already realized that there was something wrong with him. but didn't know what was the main problem as to why he could never gather life energy and temper himself. But never in his wildest dream that it would be his energy cube.

The sky was vast colored with deep blue. A mountain range was faintly discernible in the clouds, making it look like a paradise surrounded with beautiful tall ancient trees and full of a beautiful crystal-like lake at the center.

The mountains within the mountain range were adorned with different kinds of scenery. Many cultivators run here and there, creating a scene of fantasy in the novels.

Although this place stank, more than ten people were mining while looking for something.

"Ting! Ting! Ting!"

Looking at the heavy bag full of iron ore on his waist, Ciro smiled in satisfaction.

Ten iron would be enough to sell for three silver, and with him having twenty iron ore, he would be able to earn six silver in total.

Standing up, Ciro saw that the clan collector who collects iron ores had arrived, so he packed up his bag the contains twenty iron ore and slowly walked down.

After walking for more than ten steps, Ciro suddenly felt a light glow at the side.

"What is this?"

Ciro dropped to the ground, using the pickaxe in his hand to brush away the pile of rocks, he saw the light below this pile.

This was a strange rock, about the size of a chicken's egg, covered densely in granules on top of it. Not only was the rock ugly, but they're also was not even a hint of special from it, it was no different from a normal stone. However, Ciro was sure that the ray of light just now had come from this particular strange rock.

Ciro held the rock in his hand and discovered that there was nothing strange about it. This made Ciro feel extremely disappointed, and just as he was about to throw it out, it reminded Ciro of that strange light.

As the afternoon approached, many outer sect disciples had already arrived at the mouth of the mining area.

Seeing that group of clan mining collectors had walked over, Ciro's brows immediately jumped as his gaze locked onto a person within the group of collectors.

"Why is he here?" Ciro looked at the elder called Mo Yang, who was smiling sinisterly at him from afar and frowned.

Not only Ciro, but even the other miners also trembled the moment they saw Mo Yang.

On the basis of the fact that Mo Yang was a collector and also a Mortal Stage 2 cultivator, he often bullied people like Ciro who was weaker than him and sometimes even fought fiercely. For example, one month ago, this Mo Yang had almost killed Ciro, but he had only been scolded by one of the elders of the clan.

When Ciro saw Mo Yang walking towards him with a smiling face, he immediately lowered his head and clenched his fists.

After taking two deep breaths, Ciro told himself that he had to endure it. However, the sound of footsteps came from afar stopped in front of him.

"What, are you avoiding me?" Mo Yang had a pair of deep-set eyes and looked at Ciro with a ridiculing expression.

Ciro frowned a little as he raised his head, looking at Mo Yang with a forced smile: "I'm not."

Seeing Ciro's forced smile, Mo Yang laughed in disdain: "Today, I'll take your iron ore."

Ciro took the big bag on the side of his back, "There is twenty iron ore in total in the bag. Just give me 5 silver." Ciro was afraid that Mo Yang would cause trouble, hence he immediately opened his mouth and said it in a low voice.

Mo Yang smiled as he looked at Ciro: "Five silver?" As he spoke, he took out a silver from the storage bag and waved it in front of Ciro's eyes.

"What if I just give you three?" Mo Yang looked at Ciro with an upturned smile. He wanted to see how Ciro hold his anger, last time because he kicked Ciro a few times, he was scolded by the elder, Drake O'ryanpin, causing Mo Yang to feel depressed.

Ciro frowned, one silver was enough for him to live for more than two days multiplied by three, six in total. Six days. As an outcast, no one cares about him, and could only depend on themselves. If they could not find themselves a proper job then as a normal person with a broken energy cube, all the spirit energy in their body would dissipate, only to live as a normal mortal.

After considering in his heart for a long time, Ciro still frowned and said to Mo Yang: "Brother Mo Yang, that's not good, right?"
