Chapter 301: Appraisal
“Treasure?”
Jiang Hao was quite puzzled.
What treasure could there be in the mine?
He had been inside but hadn’t noticed anything special.
“Yes, a treasure that can nurture special items, like the Verdant Heart Ore you sold before. That ore is a product of the treasure. If we obtain that treasure, we can have anything we desire,” Bu Haicheng said with a smile.
“So that’s your goal?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Correct. If you join us, you can also profit from it. With your current cultivation level, under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t have the opportunity to work with us. But now that you happen to be in the mine, you are qualified to collaborate with us. With that treasure, advancing to the Golden Core stage is just a matter of ti,” Bu Haicheng said earnestly.
“Join you?” Jiang Hao frowned.
“Is it a temporary cooperation, or sothing else?”
“Once you have made a contribution this ti, I will naturally tell you which power we belong to,” Bu Haicheng said with a mysterious smile.
“At that ti, you will realize that sects are trivial to us.”
‘Appraisal.’
Jiang Hao ignored the other party and directly checked the details.
【Bu Haicheng: True disciple of the Revolving Wheel Divine Sect, early stage Golden Core cultivation, mber of End of All Things. In order to extract more value from you, he deceives you by claiming the mine’s treasure can bring you anything you desire. He plans to contact you again before the plan comnces to ensure its flawless execution and to obtain the treasure in the mine. If you beco worthless, he intends to dispose of you.】
End of All Things?
This was the first ti Jiang Hao had encountered a mber of this power.
If these people were all mbers of End of All Things, then the treasure they were after was probably not sothing good.
For a mont, he considered whether to stop them.
But after thinking it over, he was just an ordinary cultivator; it was impossible for him to stop such a powerful force.
He needed to find a way to get others to intervene.
Of course, he also wanted to ask the people from End of All Things what exactly this power was all about.
“Since you’re after the treasure, the people coming must be very strong, right?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Far beyond your imagination, definitely not soone you can confront directly,” Bu Haicheng said with a smile.
Jiang Hao fell silent, contemplating whether to directly question these two.
Soone in the early Nascent Soul stage should know quite a bit.
If they were to take action later, it might not be sothing he could handle.
But if he acted now, he couldn’t be sure when they would start their plan, making it troubleso to avoid.
If he waited, he could perfectly avoid it.
Later, he could capture so Nascent Soul cultivators and inquire about specifics, which might be better.
“What do I need to do?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Just follow our orders. When the ti cos, do whatever we tell you to do. Don’t ask too many questions, and don’t offer your opinions,” Fairy Xue Yue said coldly.
Jiang Hao nodded, not asking further.
There was no rush.
......
Myriad Stones Forest.
Under a giant rock, three figures in black robes were sitting.
The leader was seated on a stone, his head bowed as if deep in thought.
“Most preparations are ready. Bu Haicheng has also made contact with the miners, ntioning a woman in the cave. But is Ye Dong soone who would be bewitched by a woman? So he most likely has his own agenda. However, it can be considered an inside-outside collaboration,” a woman beside him said.
“Is that Foundation Establishnt cultivator reliable?” the leading man asked in a deep voice.
“It’s hard to say. So far, we only know his na is Jiang Hao. We can’t determine which sect he cos from, but Xue Yue has secretly tested his talent. Although the accuracy of the secret thod isn’t very high, the deviation isn’t too great either. This person’s talent turned out to be average. It’s incomprehensible how soone with such talent could enter the Corpse Realm. Especially since he is still in the Foundation Establishnt stage,” another man in a black robe said, puzzled.
“Jiang Hao?”
The leader’s eyes flickered with confusion.
He quickly suppressed it, and no one noticed.
“Does he want to join?”
“He hasn’t ntioned it yet, but according to Bu Haicheng and the others, they plan to use him and dispose of him if he becos worthless.”
“I see. Then proceed as planned.”
As his words fell, the leading man stood up and leaped towards the sky.
Their destination was the Blood Tide Forest.
......
anwhile, Jiang Hao returned to the spiritual field and began tending to the spiritual herbs.
Now that he knew quite a bit, the next step was to avoid these dangers.
He was here to mine, not for treasures or for soone.
So naturally, he would do his best to avoid danger.
The problem was with these spiritual herbs.
Leaving them here would be too wasteful; they were all spirit stones.
Moreover, they could produce many white and green bubbles.
It would be a loss not to take them with him.
......
Noon.
Xia Dong returned to the location of the spiritual field.
After confirming that only Jiang Hao was present, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
“Daoist Jiang, there’s sothing I need to tell you,” Fairy Xia Dong hesitated, then continued.
“I’m going to leave. Here are the spirit stones I got this ti. You can divide them later. According to the rules, I must leave, taking neither the elixirs nor anything else with . We can no longer continue our cooperation, I’m sorry.”
“Has Fairy found an opportunity?” Jiang Hao asked as he put away the spirit stones.
There aren’t many this ti; splitting them would yield about two to three hundred per person.
“I won’t hide it from you, that is indeed the case. Although I would like to earn more spirit stones, no amount of them is as important as advancing to the Golden Core stage. Please convey my apologies to the others,” Fairy Xia Dong said with a hint of regret.
As she spoke, she prepared to leave.
“Wait a mont,” Jiang Hao called out to her.
Seeing her confusion and wariness, he quickly presented her with a spiritual herb and said,
“I notice that Fairy’s aura is close to that of water, and I suspect that your opportunity is related to this. This is a Water Spirit Flower, which should aid you in your advancent.”
“Your cultivation is solid, but there is a hint of impatience in you. Rember to remain calm and composed during your advancent and progress step by step.”
“You must cultivate the Golden Core as naturally as water blends and nurtures, forcing it will only backfire. That is all I have to say.”
With that, he handed over the spiritual herb.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Xia Dong was taken aback.
For so reason, in that mont, she felt as if a Senior Brother or Senior Sister was lecturing her.
And he was right.
It was only then that she realized the person she had never truly acknowledged was far from as simple as she had thought.
“Thank you!”
Afterward, Fairy Xia Dong quickly left.
Jiang Hao felt it was a pity to lose another person to gather herbs.
He bore no displeasure towards those who left; each of them was a genius and acted with propriety.
They knew what they wanted.
Advancing to the Golden Core was naturally the first choice.
He would not stop them.
Everyone engaged in fair trade, and those who left had to give up what they hadn’t yet claid, which was already quite generous.
As such, when soone decided to leave, it was only natural to wish them well.
Parting on good terms ant no grudges were ford.
Looking at the spiritual herbs, Jiang Hao felt that if things continued this way, all the herbs would beco his.
A windfall.
The trouble was, there was no one left to help him sell them.
At this mont, he glanced at the mine and recalled the information from last ti.
The End of All Things was looking for sothing that could destroy living beings or seal them away.
That ant the treasure they were after was likely sothing of this nature.
Considering the inherent dangers of the mine, Jiang Hao felt the consequences would be unimaginable should they succeed.
“It seems I need to prepare early.”
