Chapter 51: The Immortal Sects To The Rescue
The next few days, Jiang Hao was either escorting the captives or doing small errands in the area around the mine.
He had used the Daily Appraisal on Wei Lei. Although Wei Lei didn't have an amiable personality and was often rude, he wasn't a traitor.
Jiang Hao realized that if he did his work properly, he wouldn't come under Wei Lei's attention.
Wei Lei was also a formidable disciple from Thunder Fire Peak. It was no wonder he was so arrogant.
There should be no conflict between Jiang Hao and Wei Lei as long as he followed the instructions.
The Law Enforcement Hall didn't care about simple fights between the disciples unless they ended in death or disappearance.
Jiang Hao didn't want to get involved in any kind of trouble. So, he kept a low profile.
Jiang Hao's greatest worry was that he hadn't been able to earn any spirit stones in the past few days. He hadn't even had the time to collect simple bubbles in the morning.
Jiang Hao thought he might find more bubbles deeper in the mine. However, Liu Xingchen had warned him not to enter the mine yet. There might still be danger in there. 'I just need to be patient. Maybe I won't have to stay here longer than necessary.'
If they could recruit others, he would be allowed to go back to tend the Spirit Herb Garden in peace. Jiang Hao hoped the conflict with Azure Mountain would be over soon. That fight was the reason the mine lacked people.
However, he needed to find another way to collect bubbles. 'I will take my time and observe the people here. It might be alright to enter the mine if I identify the people who are dangerous and stay out of their way.'
Wei Lei came up to Jiang Hao and threw a booklet at him.
"Senior Brother, what is this?" Jiang Hao was puzzled.
"The booklet has names of the convicts who need to be picked up from the Lawless Tower," said Wei Lei.
Jiang Hao wondered why Wei Lei was giving him the booklet.
"In the future, you'll be in charge of escorting those convicts. Don't forget that you are still under my command. You'd better do your job well," said Wei Lei arrogantly. "Not only will you escort them without trouble but also lead them into the mine. It's your fault we're short of manpower in this place, after all."
Wei Lie turned around and left. Jiang Hao was even more confused now. Why was he given Wei Lei's job? Furthermore, he was supposed to enter the mine with the convicts this time.
Jiang Hao felt that something wasn't right, so he used the Daily Appraisal ability on Wei Lei once again.
[Wei Lie: In the early stage of Golden Core Realm. Formidable disciple of the Thunder Fire Peak of the Heavenly Note Sect. He was called to patrol the surroundings. He is unhappy with some people from Ice Moon Valley and wants to teach them a lesson.]
'Ice Moon Valley?' Jiang Hao realized that someone must have arranged for him to take over this job.
His first thought was that someone from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion was trying to mess up his life again. He now wondered if he was targeted by another spy because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
Jiang Hao had to pick the convicts up from Lawless Tower now. The team of five was reduced to four after Wei Lei had left.
The others were in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. One of them was a fairy from the Ice Moon Valley. She didn't talk much but was meticulous with her work.
The other two young men were from Misty Cloud Peak. One was skinny and went by the name of Jing Lin. The other was burly and muscular. He was called Mo Du.
Although the two men often joked around, they were, for the most part, quiet and gloomy. Jiang Hao didn't trust them. They appeared to be the kind of people who would stab him in the back at any time.
Jiang Hao had appraised them all. Jing Lin was the most intriguing out of the trio. He had deserted the Wing Lightning Sect and joined the Heavenly Note Sect.
Coincidentally, some captives from the Wind Lightning Sect had been captured recently.
Jiang Hao was worried that that might create some conflict. If Jing Lin was friends with the captive, he might try to do something stupid.
After a while, they arrived at the reception area of the Lawless Tower. They saw the four captives in the area being monitored carefully.
When Jiang Hao saw the four captives, he had a bad feeling.
However, he didn't say anything. Jiang Hao went to the person who was monitoring the prisoners. Then, he escorted them outside.
Jiang Hao felt that the captives' aura was not right. Although they were declared as being in the early stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, they had the aura of people in the Golden Core Realm.
'Had the Lawless Tower failed somehow? Did they use some treasure to prevent the tower from stripping away their cultivation realm?'
He couldn't use the Daily Appraisal on them right now, and he couldn't tell the others what he had felt without explaining how he knew about their aura.
Jiang Hao opened the booklet. "State your name and the name of your sect," he said.
The others were silent.
"I suggest you cooperate," he said. "State the name of your sect. Maybe someone from your sect will come for the records, but if you have no name, then you are as good as dead."
"Wind Lightning Sect, Jing Ru," said a young woman.
Jiang Hao wrote that down. He wondered if she was somehow related to Jing Lin, who used to be from the same sect.
He looked at the three people in his team. "From now on, someone will need to escort the captives to the mine to familiarize them with the surroundings. Who's going to lead them this time?" asked Jiang Hao.
Everyone was silent. Jiang Hao saw Jing Lin hesitating. "Junior Brother Jing, do you want to do it?"
Jiang Hao didn't know what to do. He only hoped that there would be no trouble. There were four Golden Core Realm cultivators. He was no match if they chose to attack together.
Jiang Hao felt that he needed to raise his cultivation further..
Chapter 52: Trickery
"The rest?" Jiang Hao opened the booklet and continued jotting down their names.
"Beixue of the Sunset Immortal Sect," said a woman coldly.
'Sunset Immortal Sect?' Jiang Hao recorded everything without revealing his feelings. He then looked at Lu Meng. "Junior Sister Lu, you can escort her to the mine with you."
Lu Meng nodded.
"Situ Jian of the Blackheaven Sect," said a smiling young man.
"Shangguan Wen of the Blackheaven Sect," said the man beside Situ Jian.
Jiang Hao turned to MO Du. "Junior Brother, please take Shangguan Wen with you. I'll escort Situ Jian to the mine."
Jiang Hao felt that Situ Jian and Shangguan Wen were the most dangerous among the group. Shangguan Wen seemed to be someone who was forgotten too easily. Jiang Hao suspected that he could launch a sneak attack.
MO Du nodded. Jiang Hao whispered to him, "Be careful. Don't let him out of your sight."
MO Du felt that Jiang Hao was being unnecessarily cautious, but he nodded anyway.
Halfway there, Jing Ru suddenly dropped to the ground and pressed her hand down.
Jing Lin tried to pull her up, but Jiang Hao stopped him. Wei Lei would have slapped Jing Lin for his carelessness first and then turned to Jing Ru.
Jiang Hao unsheathed his Half Moon Blade and pressed it to Jing Ru
t
s hand. "Do you want me to chop off your hand or will you hand that over?"
The atmosphere was unsettling. Jiang Hao watched Jing Ru carefully. There was no change in her aura.
Jing Ru stared at Jiang Hao and handed over the two spiritual talismans. Jiang Hao examined them. They were made of special materials.
Both were high-grade talismans. One was the Mountain Moving Talisman and another was the Nine Heavens Lightning Talisman.
"Did you truly want to cause trouble or were you deliberately letting me find this out?" asked Jiang Hao. "Search her!"
Jing Lin moved a step back. "Don't you dare!"
"Those who resist will be killed on the spot," said Jiang Hao sternly.
Jiang Hao had been trying to find a way to warn the others of the danger. With these talismans, he finally had an explanation for his team members.
"Please don't get mad," said the smiling Situ Jian. "We'll cooperate wholeheartedly."
Shangguan Wen and Beixue also raised their hands in the air in surrender.
Jing Ru gritted her teeth but remained quiet. Jiang Hao didn't care if they were men or women. If he allowed them any courtesy, they would just use it against him.
After a short while, the three of them finished searching the captives. Jiang Hao glanced at the four prisoners. "Search them again."
Jing Ru was enraged. Beixue looked indifferent. On the contrary, Shangguan Wen and Situ Jian appeared to be at ease.
After searching them for a second time, they led them to the mine. Jiang Hao briefly explained the work to Situ Jian.
"Fellow disciple. Are you a formidable disciple of this sect? You were truly impressive before," said Situ Jian with a smile.
"You don't seem to mind being forced to work in these mines," said Jiang Hao.
Situ Jian chuckled. "My status in the Blackheaven Sect is… decent. Someone should be coming to take me back soon."
"Until then, I hope you work diligently," said Jiang Hao without emotion.
He was observing his surroundings. There weren't many people outside the mine. Almost everyone was inside.
He had roughly figured out the layout of this place. The mine was like a maze. Anyone could end up lost or dead. Jiang Hao was worried that someone might appear from the shadows and attack him suddenly.
Not long after entering the mine, he saw a purple bubble.
When he passed by the bubble, a notification appeared on the interface.
[Divine Power Fragment +1]
As expected, there were benefits inside the mine!
He walked all the way to the innermost part of the mine and saw more bubbles. They were white and green.
[Ordinary Spirit Spear +1]
[Spirit +1]
[Strength +1]
[Endurance +1]
Feeling the bubbles absorb into his body, Jiang Hao was a little calm. At the very least, he could get bubbles while working here. He was not sure if the bubbles would appear in the same spot the next day.
Unfortunately, everything wasn't that easy. There would be dangers lurking in the shadows. Not only the spies but also the captives might turn violent at any time.
The arrival of Situ Jian and the other three captives had raised his suspicion. They weren't even the last batch of captives to be escorted to the mine.
He needed to warn the manager.
Wei Lei slammed his hand on the table and jumped up.
"If they dare to pull a trick like this, do you think they aren't capable of something more?! They should have been killed on the spot! Leaving them alive will bring disaster later. I left you in charge, and you failed on the first job! How could you make such a stupid mistake?"
Jiang Hao stood quietly. He explained the situation to Wei Lei.
He was from the Cliff of Broken Hearts, so Wei Lei had no right to punish him. This wasn't even a "mistake" as Wei Lei put it.
At this moment, they were gathered at the administrative building. Wu Yuanwu sat in the middle of the desk and listened quietly.
Wei Lie sat on his left. A woman sat on the right. She was dressed in simple clothes. She was a fairy, who was at the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm. That was indeed rare to see.
"Junior Brother Wei, don't exaggerate. Please, calm down," said the woman with a smile. "This kind of thing happens. The woman was just trying to hide the talismans. This is actually the Lawless Tower's fault. They should have searched them more meticulously. How did they miss something like this? However, if it bothers you too much, I can take Junior Brother Jiang off your hands. He can work under me. He is not that bad, and I do need more people."
In his anger, Wei Lie willingly agreed. Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. At least he wouldn't have to face disciples from the Immortal Sects anymore.
The woman led him out of the administrative building. As soon as they walked out, she introduced herself.
"Junior Brother Jiang, let's try to learn more about each other. I am Yan Hua."
'Yan Hua?!' The name shocked him..
Chapter 53: The Way To Advance In Cultivation Realm Is Through Mining
'Yan Hua of Heavenly Saint Sect?!'
Jiang Hao had seen her name when appraising the puppet.
He had assumed Yan Hua was a man. 'So, she's the one who's after me?'
He had no choice but to wait. He would have a chance tomorrow to use the Daily Appraisal ability on her.
After they were done introducing themselves, Yan Hua explained the job to him. Jiang Hao only needed to enter the mine and supervise the workers.
He needed to make sure there was progress when it came to mining. Otherwise, he would be in trouble.
"Not too difficult, right?" asked Yan Hua with a smile. "If you find anything difficult, you can always tell me."
"Of course, Senior Sister," said Jiang Hao and bowed. "Thank you." He stayed calm the rest of the day.
The next day, when Jiang Hao met Yan Hua again, he used the Daily Appraisal on her.
[Yan Hua: In the intermediate stage of Golden Core Realm. Fanatic disciple of the Heavenly Saint Sect. She has been undercover in the Ice Moon Valley for
many years and has buried puppets all around the sect. When she found out that you had the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, she wanted to turn you into a puppet. She missed her chance last time.]
Jiang Hao's heart sank. This was bad. He couldn't fight her. Even if he used Shiyu, he might not be able to win against someone in the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm.
He never thought he would be targeted by someone this strong. She even knew about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower!
Jiang Hao wondered if others knew about it too.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you're right on time!" Yan Hua smiled at him. "Today, you will go up to the 6th open-pit. You just need to go in and supervise. The work is faster there, and it is fairly safe."
"Ah, right…" she whispered. "The people from yesterday will be there too. Senior Brother Wu said we just need to observe them for now. Lure them out if they try anything. Be careful."
'All four of them?' Jiang Hao felt that Yan Hua was deliberately trying to put him into such a situation. Maybe she wanted the four people to distract him while she found an opening to launch an attack.
He nodded and thanked her. He then headed into the mine.
He found the workers. They all looked dead.
They were all skinny and ragged with scars and wounds. The newly captured disciples still had a little life in them, but the bruises on their bodies from endless whipping were apparent.
He saw Situ Jian and the others among them. He didn't make them split up. They remained in a group of four as they worked. Jiang Hao didn't say anything. He opened his interface.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 21]
[Cultivation: Early Stage of Golden Core Realm]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal,
Clear and Pure Heart]
[Lifeblood: 63/100 (can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 65/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Divine Ability: 2/3 (cannot be obtained)]
'21?!' Jiang Hao was surprised. A year had passed, and he hadn't even noticed. He was already at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm! Soon, he could advance to the middle stage.
'I'm almost through!' thought Jiang Hao. 'I only need a few months till my cultivation reaches 100, but can Yan Hua, Situ Jian, and the others wait till then to attack me?'
His gaze was focused on the Divine Ability section. If he could find one more purple bubble, he would be able to obtain another ability!
The ability was bound to be something powerful this time. Perhaps he could face Yan Hua with the new ability and his Primordial heavenly Blade.
The workers began to dig holes in the mine shaft. Occasionally, they found some spirit stones.
Jiang Hao remained alert. However, from his observation, the 6th open-pit wasn't suitable for sneak attacks. Yan Hua would not dare to make a move in such an open space. Jiang Hao would definitely sense her presence.
As for the people who were there, aside from Situ Jian and his group, nobody else hid their cultivation level.
Jiang Hao approached a disciple, who was holding a whip.
"Senior Brother Jiang, how can I help you?" asked the disciple.
"Do you happen to have an extra hoe?" asked Jiang Hao.
He wanted to see if he could find more bubbles today. He couldn't visit the Spirit Herb Garden and had to put the spirit beast on hold, too. If he wanted more bubbles, he needed to explore the mine.
He wondered how quickly the bubbles would appear in this mine. Would he have to dig every day? Or would it appear every day in the same spot?
If he could find many bubbles here, then advancing fast in his cultivation realm wouldn't remain a dream.
The mine was dangerous, but it seemed that it was also full of opportunities. Mu Qi had obtained something remarkable here, after all.
He didn't want rare treasures or inheritance. He just wanted some bubbles.
The other disciples were stunned. Jiang Hao walked away with his hoe. "Junior Brother, don't let them out of your sight," he warned.
Everyone looked at Jiang Hao. They weren't sure why he wanted a hoe. He was supposed to just stand around and supervise them.
Even Situ Jian and his group were puzzled.
Jiang Hao walked to a side and swung his hoe at an ore that protruded from the wall.
Some of the outer disciples of the sect, who were in the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, were shocked. They couldn't understand why a senior was working when he could just stand in a corner and order others around.
Jiang Hao didn't pay them any attention. He used the power of his Foundation Establishment Realm to boost his hoe, and soon, he knocked out a piece of ore from the cave wall. A white bubble fell out with
the ore.
[Strength +1]
Chapter 54: Happy to Mine
Several bubbles appeared.
Although they were mostly white, it was still better than nothing.
At least it proved to Jiang Hao that bubbles could be found in the mine. He became even more energetic. He controlled the flow of his energy and strength so that he could keep digging for a while longer.
Jiang Hao took care not to reveal his cultivation realm accidentally. He deliberately used the lowest level of energy from the Foundation Establishment Realm.
In this way, nobody could accuse him of using more energy and lifeblood despite being at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He dug out more ores, and with it, more white bubbles. Occasionally, a few green bubbles appeared along with the white.
[Strength +1] [Spirit +1]
[Spear +1]
Jiang Hao didn't stop. He worked persistently. When he dug out ores of better quality, some blue bubbles appeared with them.
[Cultivation +1]
He sighed in relief. After so many days, he finally had a hope of advancing through his cultivation level.
With only his talent, it would take him more than ten years to advance to the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm. The blue bubbles were the fastest way of advancing. With enough blue bubbles, it would only take him a year or so.
The sound of the hoe hitting rocks and ores rang through the mine. The ores were of high quality, but Jiang Hao didn't care. He ordered the workers to gather them and take them away.
His goal was only to obtain more blue bubbles. The speed at which the bubbles appeared was unbelievable.
They appeared one after another. Nobody had seen the bubbles appear so fast in the mines. Perhaps Jiang Hao had found a method to attract the bubbles to him.
Mining was the fastest way to become stronger. Jiang Hao's Cultivation and
Lifeblood increased. He had already absorbed around 10 blue bubbles by now.
As Jiang Hao swung the hoe at the ore, it broke with a clang. Jiang Hao frowned. He wished he could take out his Primordial Heavenly Blade and slice through the ores. However, that would draw too much attention to him.
"Senior… Senior Brother Jiang, do you want to rest for a while?" asked the supervising disciple.
Wu Jing was an outer disciple of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm. He only needed to advance once to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, and then he could join the inner sect.
He could even apply to leave the mine after that. Usually, disciples were free to leave after they joined the inner sect and could even apply for other jobs. However, the recent fight had caused a shortage of people, so nobody was allowed to leave their work, especially in the mines.
The disciple was flustered. He didn't know what to do with this senior. Jiang Hao looked around and saw that everyone was taking a break. He nodded and walked to a corner. He asked the junior if he could get him a better hoe.
"Senior Brother Jiang, do you still want to dig for ores?" asked Wu Jing in confusion.
"Yeah. Don't worry. I will make sure everyone is safe."
His job was to make sure the workers were safe, and that the work was progressing smoothly. That was what he intended to do.
"Which branch of the Heavenly Note Sect are you from?" asked Situ Jian.
Jiang Hao had just crouched down to catch a breath when Situ Jian had quietly approached him. "If you are done resting, go and work."
Jiang Hao didn't want to encourage any sort of interaction with the captives. He wanted to wait until he could appraise them tomorrow.
The four people from before definitely meant trouble. He needed to advance to the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible.
He didn't know how much time he had until these four people tried something dangerous. Jiang Hao had a lot on his mind. He wanted to dig more.
He couldn't be too impatient. Back in the Devil's Den, it was because of his impatience that Lou Feng had found him suspicious.
He didn't want to do anything like that because he didn't want to attract Yan Hua's attention. He had no choice but to be patient.
After a while, Wu Jing finally brought him a hoe. This time, it was not an ordinary mining hoe. It was a hoe of the level of a magic treasure.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I got this from the management building. Please don't break it." Wu Jing looked troubled. "Otherwise…"
"Will it cost you spirit stones? How many?" asked Jiang Hao.
"Yeah. I don't have spirit stones right now," said Wu Jing. "I get 10% from the advancement mission and the harvest mission."
Jiang Hao nodded. "Thank you. I'll be careful."
Wu Jing then returned to his position to supervise the workers. Jiang Hao began to dig.
The bubbles popped up one after the other. As they flew and absorbed into his body, he could feel the change in his Cultivation and Lifeblood.
[Strength +1]
[Strength +1] [Spiritual Sword +1] [Cultivation +1]
[Cultivation +1]
If he dug more, perhaps something better than blue bubbles might pop up. He was euphoric, but he made sure to maintain a calm front. He didn't want others to get suspicious.
The speed at which he dug was unbelievable. The other felt frustrated. They assumed that this inner sect disciple was only showing off on the first day. From the next, it would fall on them to dig for ores and treasures. Only people at a low level of cultivation like them suffered the consequences..
Chapter 55: Devour Him Whole
Jiang Hao didn't know what the others thought of him, and he didn't care. It didn't stop him from digging. Instead, it made him even more persistent. He didn't stop, except for when the rocks fell, and he had to move out of the way.
As the sky darkened outside, Jiang Hao put away the hoe and looked around the mine shaft.
Today's progress was good. The workers heaved a sigh of relief. At least now, they could hope for a filling meal.
The people of the mine also wanted to make a name for themselves. With a high cultivation level like Wu Jing, it was easy for them to advance to the title of a supervisor. They could even become an inner sect disciple if they worked diligently and had no criminal records.
As for the captives…
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they would be thrown into the Lawless Tower again and would be escorted to the mines to work. However, despite high security, there were always some people who managed to escape.
Jiang Hao glanced at Situ Jian and the others. At this moment, Shangguan Wen, who seemed to be so easily forgotten, suddenly turned to him.
Jiang Hao was caught by surprise, but he didn't avoid his gaze. He just stared back at Shangguan Wen until the man turned away.
Jiang Hao felt a sense of urgency to increase his cultivation level.
After a day of mining, he obtained a total of nine Cultivation bubbles and eight Lifeblood bubbles. Mostly, white and green bubbles.
Even if they were few, they were better than nothing. In fact, even the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower didn't produce this many bubbles.
After last time, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower only produced two bubbles every three days, which wasn't much. [Lifeblood: 71/100 (can be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 74/100 (can be cultivated)]
'If everything goes smoothly, I can advance quickly within four days!' Jiang Hao hoped there would be no trouble in these four days.
When they all left the mine for the day, Yan Hua approached Jiang Hao with a smile. "I heard you were busy digging, Junior Brother Jiang."
"Well… I had nothing else to do, so I was just helping out. I wanted to repay you for your kindness, Senior Sister."
No one seemed to like Wei Lei around this area, but if Jiang Hao had a choice, he would choose Wei Lei over Yan Hua anv day. At least Wei Lei didn't want to kill him.
Yan Hua was different. Perhaps she was waiting for Situ Jian and the others to cause some trouble, so she could find an opening to strike.
However, she had benefited from the recent mining work.
"Then Junior Brother Jiang, I will rely on you to do what you can," said Yan Hua. "Will you escort people into the 6th open-pit and supervise them tomorrow too?"
"Of course," said Jiang Hao.
They talked for a while, and Jiang Hao took his leave.
He needed to be extra careful. As he walked away, he felt eyes boring into his back from a distance. It made him uncomfortable. It felt as though she was going to devour him whole.
He saw many people around the mine. So far, no one seemed suspicious. The captives still had hope that some people from their own sects would rescue them in the future.
He sighed and walked away. The Law Enforcement Hall didn't care about the mines. As long as the people worked and brought them ores, that was good enough for them.
Along the way, he saw some people who were out and about on patrols. Their cultivation level was very high.
The next day, Jiang Hao continued mining. He was even more diligent that day. The others were curious about him. They wondered how long this inner sect disciple would carry on.
Jiang Hao had appraised Situ Jian and found something significant.
[Situ Jian: Successive disciple of the Blackheaven Sect. In the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm. Excellent talent. He used the Sky-Stealing Dharma treasure to divert Lawless's absorption and sealed his cultivation with the Spirit Binding Talisman before hiding in the mine of the Heavenly Note Sect. The two talismans discovered were actually his. He was intending to blow up the mine and damage the Heavenly Note Sect. While mining, he left behind some untraceable runes. He is curious about you.]
The result of the appraisal was surprising. He had intended for Jiang Hao to discover those talismans! He wondered why Jing Ru had agreed to be part of Situ Jian's plan. Wasn't she afraid? Was there somebody else helping them?
Jiang Hao had many questions in his mind. However, he had to wait till tomorrow to use his Daily Appraisal ability.
As for the runes left behind by Situ Jian, Jiang Hao would investigate the area. If there was something amiss, he would immediately report it.
Jiang Hao dug with all his might. He didn't care much about concealing his strength this time because he needed to advance his cultivation as soon as possible before these captives attacked him.
Many bubbles popped up. They were mostly white, green, and blue.
[Strength +1]
[Strength +1] [Cultivation +1] [Lifeblood +1] [Spirit +1]
[Lifeblood Pill +1]
His strength and spirit increased bit by bit. Jiang Hao was focused on getting stronger. If he mined here for a hundred years, he was bound to become the strongest.
By the end of the day, Jiang Hao had obtained a total of 20 blue bubbles, in addition to the white and green.
Of the 20 blue bubbles, 10 were for Cultivation and 10 for Lifeblood.
'Soon…' Jiang Hao said to himself.
When it was time for him to leave, Jiang Hao examined the grounds of the mine. He didn't find anything. 'Where did Situ Jian conceal the runes?'
He was also in the Golden Core Realm and had read the nameless manual to detect energy fluctuations. However, he couldn't sense anything here.
He couldn't really tell anyone about this, so he pretended as though everything was fine.
Today's progress was at least 20% better than yesterday's. The others were happy too. They would definitely get better food tonight.
The next day, Jiang Hao appraised Jing Ru..
