Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 317 - Let’s Borrow Some Spirit Stones

Chapter 317: Let’s Borrow Some Spirit Stones

“Long time no see, Daoist Jiang. You still look remarkable,” Gu Wen greeted Jiang Hao with a smile as he landed in front of him.

They were indeed lucky.

They should have come earlier, but when they arrived at the previous mine, they found it had disappeared and turned into a forest.

They explored inside and discovered the Enlightenment Spring.

With many years of accumulation, both of them had an epiphany and stepped onto the path of the Golden Core.

After consolidating their cultivation briefly, they hurried to the second mine and found Jiang Hao.

Now that they had achieved the Golden Core, they could continue to cooperate in mining, which was really fortunate.

“You both look even better than before,” Jiang Hao said politely.

“We owe it to your good fortune.”

Ding Yu said, looking around at the surroundings before asking, “Shall we continue with the previous profit-sharing arrangement?”

They indeed owed their success to Jiang Hao.

Without him, they wouldn’t have returned, and without returning, they wouldn’t have encountered the Enlightenment Spring.

“Sure,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Then we’ll continue to go out and sell ore and look for spiritual herbs. Will you still manage things here?” Gu Wen asked.

Jiang Hao naturally had no objections.

However, now that they had both advanced to the Golden Core, the possibility of one person monopolizing the spiritual herbs was gone. But having someone to sell the ore was good.

Currently, he only had twenty thousand spirit stones.

Mining for so long without being able to realize the profits was troublesome.

Now, twenty thousand would be reduced by ten thousand, leaving only ten thousand.

He was a bit poor.

Ding Yu looked around and did not see Taoist Shang’an.

He asked in a low voice, “Where’s the senior?”

“He left,” Jiang Hao replied.

The two nodded; just leaving meant the plan was successful?

After all, they had heard with their own ears that if they failed, they would have to stay here forever.

“Aren’t you going out to look for opportunities, Daoist Jiang?” Gu Wen asked curiously.

It was likely that one could advance if they looked for opportunities and solidified their cultivation after the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

He was fine with mining; other things were too far out of his reach.

......

Elsewhere.

In the Nascent Soul area.

Yun Qi and Fairy Lan Qian came to Tianbei Mountain again, still standing in front of the sixth stele.

“It seems the prodigious talent has not arrived yet,” Yun Qi said, surprised.

“I don’t understand,” Fairy Lan Qian shook her head.

Since we’re here, why not visit Tianbei Mountain?

Is there really a better opportunity than Tianbei Mountain?

That seems unlikely.

Suddenly, the stele in front of them flashed brightly, then quickly returned to calm.

“What’s this now?” Yun Qi wondered.

“I don’t know,” Fairy Lan Qian shook her head.

“It suddenly lit up, like a summons or a response, but why did it disappear in an instant?”

“Has this happened before?” Yun Qi asked.

“Never, this opening of the Corpse Realm is somewhat unusual. Not to mention the absence of the geniuses, Tianbei Mountain seems to have intensified its call, and then there was that light, deviating from the norm.”

Fairy Lan Qian couldn’t figure out who could cause such a change.

......

Time passed quickly.

After the incident in the Blood Tide Forest, quite a few people arrived.

Mostly Golden Core cultivators.

This made the mines Jiang Hao and his companions owned even more valuable.

Spiritual medicines began to be purchased as well, though mostly those used for healing.

Not many, but still enough to make a profit.

Along the way, Zhuge Zheng requested to join, and Xia Dong came along too, as did Murong Qingqing.

Although they had returned, the distribution of profits had changed.

Originally, the ores were split evenly among the three of them, Jiang Hao, and the same went for the spiritual medicines.

The profits that followed were to be divided among the six of them.

They tacitly agreed to Jiang Hao’s share of the profits.

They didn’t exploit the fact that they had advanced to Golden Core and didn’t pressure those in the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Hao did the same; he didn’t exploit the Golden Core cultivators.

In just one month, many ores were sold, and the spirit stones increased from twenty thousand to thirty thousand.

And this was in less than five months.

The Corpse Realm would be open for a year; wouldn’t it be reasonable to earn another twenty thousand?

Then consider how to spend it: twenty-four thousand for the rabbit, around twenty thousand for the Divine Peach tree, and ten thousand for Azure Red Sky.

A total of fifty-four thousand.

No, why was there still a shortage?

Sighing, Jiang Hao picked up his hoe and continued mining.

Not long ago, he had received another summons, which should indicate the next appearance of Tianbei Mountain.

He ignored it once more.

......

After he entered the mine, Zhuge Zheng and the others sat together.

“Why does he mine every day? As long as the mine is accessible, he’s there digging. Does he really like mining that much?” Murong Qingqing was puzzled.

When they first met Jiang Hao, it was he who said he could mine.

“Could it be that he was scared of being poor when he was in his sect?” Xia Dong suggested.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with this reason.

Otherwise, why would anyone mine so frantically?

But indeed, entering here could earn tens of thousands of spirit stones, which was very impressive.

“Recently, someone has been eyeing us,” Zhuge Zheng, who had been silent, finally spoke.

“I’ve noticed too. The five of us at Golden Core might not be enough, but the formations here should be left by a senior. They’re ordinary but can deter others. Moreover, they have backers, and we’re not lacking in that regard either. Not to mention we have Daoist Zhuge from the Mountain and Sea Sword Sect,” Gu Wen said with a smile.

Ding Yu nodded: “I’ve set up many traps nearby. The emergence of the Enlightenment Spring will attract attention, so we’re somewhat safer.”

“I just fear the appearance of someone above Golden Core. I can’t use the sect to pressure them,” Zhuge Zheng said.

Gu Wen sighed; if that senior were here, they wouldn’t need to worry about these things at all.

That senior was truly good.

......

Outside the Blood Tide Forest.

Two figures descended from the sky.

One was a woman in a white fairy dress with a white belt cinched at her waist and a white feather in her hairdo, giving her a distinctive look.

“We’re here.”

Her voice was soft, her figure well-proportioned.

She smiled slightly, revealing dimples.

“Is this the place Junior Sister Ye mentioned? How could there be a large amount of spirit stones in the Foundation Establishment area?”

A man in black sect attire landed beside the woman.

He smiled gently, his eyebrows long and slender, giving him an exotic look.

“Senior Brother Mo Tian, could it be that you don’t believe Junior Sister me?” Fairy Ye Luo smiled slightly.

“I heard about it on the way here. If he didn’t lie to me, then it’s true. They say that here, several Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators have joined forces to sell ores. Previously, they sold to Foundation Establishment, and now to Golden Core.”

“I also heard that a Enlightenment Spring appeared here, and surely Nascent Soul cultivators will come later. Can a few Golden Core cultivators hold on to so many spirit stones? We’re also helping them. Oh, and I heard they’re selling at a low price, practically taking all the spirit stones from the people around.”

“If that’s the case, they shouldn’t mind if we borrow a bit,” Mo Tian said with a smile.

“We urgently need it, and borrowing with the intention of returning isn’t the same as not returning,” Fairy Ye Luo said earnestly.

Then the two set off again.

Heading swiftly inward.

“There shouldn’t be any other Nascent Souls faster than us, right?” Mo Tian asked.

“Even if they are fast, it’s useless,” Fairy Ye Luo said with a sweet smile.

“Not everyone is like Senior Brother, a Nascent Soul at full completion.”

“I’ve just had a breakthrough, and my cultivation isn’t stable yet. If Junior Sister hadn’t come to find me, I would still be consolidating my cultivation. But even though my cultivation isn’t stable, it’s still above the late Nascent Soul stage,” Mo Tian said proudly.

“Then there’s nothing to worry about. It’s unlikely that anyone above the Nascent Soul stage would come here,” Fairy Ye Luo said with an air of ease. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
