Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

ex asked.

”Again, No idea.
He takes the jade and leaves.
He never tells us what they are for, ” he said.

”Where does this boss of yours live then? ” Alex asked.

”He is not our boss.
We just refer to him as one.
Also, he lives in a cave on the cliff on the left side, ” the man said as he pointed far away.

Alex realized these people didn ’t know anything about this boss.
So he decided to change the question.

”What did you do to get here? ” Alex asked.

”Me? I got into a fight with someone else and beat them.
Both of us got sent here, but the other person didn ’t have to stay as long and left a week ago, ” the man said.

Alex looked at the other two and expected them to answer too.

”I stole ingredients for a pill from the inner sect disciple I was aiding, ” said one man.

”I destroyed the house of someone who was trying to court the girl I liked, ” the last person said.

Suddenly, hearing their reasons for being sent here, Alex ’s perception of them changed.
At first, he thought they were vile criminal scum that deserved to be hungry and punished, and now, they were just broken people who did stupid things on impulse.

One stole, another got into a fight, and the last one destroyed a house.
What was stolen, could be given back.
One could make up after a fight.
Houses could be rebuilt.
But sending people like these to suffer for so much time was not something he saw the sect doing.

”Unless… ” he thought.
It originally wasn ’t meant to be a tough punishment.
”Master did say one would be really bored here.
Hunger was just something that came later, ” he thought.

’These people were sent here to be banished from society for a few weeks and contemplate on their mistake.
And yet, their very survival has become hard.
I should tell master about this when I get out. ’

’Also, I will have to find this boss and see what need he has for these yang jades.
Given that he collected them, he must have a lot, ’ Alex started to get excited at the notion of dozens of yang jades.

”How much longer do you have to stay here? ” Alex asked

”A few more days, ” they all answered.

”All right, ” Alex said.
He picked up a couple of rocks and shoot them at the trees up above.
Soon, the pears started dropping and he handed out one to each of them in thanks for the information.

The three were nearly brought to tears seeing food after so long.
It turned out, they hadn ’t eaten in over a day and were really desperate for it.
They were even planning to go to the boss and try to beat him up for the food.

Alex asked them why they didn ’t already.
If the boss had so much food, they should have tried to at least steal it, if they couldn ’t beat him.
Their response was simple.

The boss was way too strong.
