Because Wu Geng defeated the Bigfoot, all the slaves were very happy. Everyone was pleased to see Wu Geng become the new Centurion. Wu Geng requested that the reward be changed to transforming everyone's work time to six shichen per day, with one day of rest every ten days of labor. If anyone fell ill, a doctor should be called to help treat them.

Chen Jing did not want to go back on his word in front of his son Zhazha, so he could only agree to Wu Geng's request. Wu Geng's idea of sharing blessings and facing difficulties together made him even more supported by the slaves. Wu Geng visited the injured Bigfoot late at night, bringing him medicine for his injuries.

Wu Geng told the Bigfoot that everyone was living a life of exploitation and slavery, but life should not be trampled upon. This act of Wu Geng's changed the Bigfoot's view of him. Wu Geng abolished all the previous rules. He vowed to lead by example and advance and retreat together with everyone.

Wu Geng also improved everyone's food, allowing them to queue in an orderly manner to receive it, ensuring that all the old, weak, women, and children had food to eat. There was a slave in the mine who was injured by the Bigfoot. Wu Geng heard that the mine would send slaves they didn't like to the beast arena to fight beasts, so he went to the arena to check.

The officials were beating the Bigfoot, forcing him to fight with the slaves. The Bigfoot, unable to bear it any longer, injured a slave. Wu Geng stepped forward and stopped the Bigfoot, and also told the officials and others that if the Bigfoot injured a slave and delayed the Bloodstone mining time, Lord Chen Jing would blame them, and they would not be able to handle it. Under Wu Geng's threat, these officials ceased their actions and left.

Wu Geng saw that the Bigfoot's meals were being withheld, so he brought him food late at night. He told the Bigfoot not to hurt others for food again, and thus he would not be exploited because of food. To take care of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, Wu Geng grouped the slaves for labor, stipulating that they could rest as long as they completed their workload for the day. Everyone was very grateful for Wu Geng's decision.

Wu Geng unexpectedly discovered that Chen Jing's Qi cultivation was very powerful and did not understand why he still stayed in this sunless mine. Chen Jing discovered Wu Geng secretly watching him cultivate Qi and warned him to avoid doing so in the future if he saw him cultivating Qi. Wu Geng inventoried the mining tools that needed to be replaced in the mine and requested tool replacement from Chen Jing. Chen Jing agreed to his request.

Day after day, Wu Geng gradually adapted to life in the mine. He also learned resilience and compassion from Bai Cai, and he gradually found his own path. Four years later, Zhou Qiao brought his foster father Gui Mu to the North Mountain Mine. Chen Jing and Gui Mu exchanged sarcastic remarks upon meeting. It turned out that Chen Jing had previously been the dethroned king of the State of Wan Qu.

Over the years, Zhou Qiao had found suitable young men and women for Gui Mu to consume, which allowed his heavily injured body to recover. Gui Mu, in gratitude, took him as a foster son. Now, Zhou Qiao wanted to learn some skills to be used by the Immortal Clan, but being a mortal, he could not cultivate Immortal arts. Gui Mu asked Chen Jing to teach Zhou Qiao Qi cultivation techniques.

Although Chen Jing politely refused, citing that Qi practitioners needed to have a compatible physique, Zhou Qiao still insisted on trying to cultivate first. Thus, Chen Jing had no choice but to agree to teach Qi cultivation techniques. Chen Jing stated that a man-eating monster had appeared in the mine today, having already eaten nearly a hundred people, and he could not focus on teaching Zhou Qiao Qi cultivation techniques, and hoped they could understand.

Chen Jing took Gui Mu and Zhou Qiao to visit the mine shafts, and specifically asked Wu Geng to come and meet the two of them. To prevent the two from recognizing him, Wu Geng deliberately dirtied his face.
