Chapter 331: I Am Very Wealthy

Yun Qi touched the sealed entrance of the cave and said,

“It’s really inaccessible; this cave is very special. But did Jiang Hao fail to come out in time, or did he plan to use the mine to escape us?”

Fairy Lan Qian was beside him, her brows slightly furrowed.

“It shouldn’t be; with his complete Foundation Establishment cultivation, it would be even more dangerous inside. It seems he didn’t make it out in time.”

“It’s a pity, I sold the ores and was planning to share some with him; there were quite a few.” Yun Qi could only swallow his tears as he consumed the extra spirit stones.

“Let’s wait a bit; maybe he’ll come out when the spatial changes disappear,” said Fairy Lan Qian.

Yun Qi nodded, not particularly concerned about these matters, and turned his attention to his Senior Sister.

“When will Senior Sister teach me the content of the sixth stele?”

“Before we leave,” Fairy Lan Qian replied.

“Alright then, let’s just sell ores here for the time being; it’s quite interesting,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

“Who will you sell to?” Fairy Lan Qian was curious.

“Of course, to those in Spirit Refining. What good trades can there be below Spirit Refining? They’re all so poor,” Yun Qi said with a hint of helplessness.

“I’ve found that even those in Spirit Refining are poor.”

“As long as one is on the uphill path, no one will keep too many spirit stones,” Fairy Lan Qian said.

Cultivation is extremely consuming of spirit stones; spirit stones are earned for the sake of advancement, and naturally, they will be used to make oneself stronger.

Without sufficient cultivation, everything else is an illusion.

“I’m different; I am very wealthy,” Yun Qi said with a laugh.

“Senior Sister, do you want to follow me? I’ll take you to eat the finest food and drink.”

Fairy Lan Qian glanced at him, said nothing, and simply sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

And to wait for the mine to return to normal.

......

Jiang Hao walked through the unfamiliar mine, noticing that the walls were reinforced with stone bricks.

This suggested that the place was more like a structure.

And the lighting was different too.

He didn’t know exactly where he was, but danger was definitely present.

Soon, he encountered a demonic beast.

It was pitch-black, resembling a tiger or leopard with sharp claws and teeth.

At the complete stage of Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Hao didn’t engage with them; instead, he hid to one side, waiting for them to leave.

If it were a Nascent Soul-level beast, he could consider killing it.

After all, there was a certain chance of a blue bubble appearing.

For Foundation Establishment, even a white bubble was not guaranteed.

Jiang Hao continued through the passages, looking for a way out.

As for exploring this place, he had no such intention.

The place was clearly abnormal; the deeper one went, the more dangerous it became. The only option was to leave as quickly as possible.

At this point, he had sealed the crowing chicken away; otherwise, if it crowed, that would spell trouble.

He avoided detection several times.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of human footsteps in the adjacent passage.

Thump, thump-

The footsteps were clear, and Jiang Hao waited quietly with lowered brows.

If the person came this way, he would have to act.

His Half-Moon was already in hand.

He would decide to kill or not the moment he saw the person.

Thump-

Thump-

The footsteps were heading his way.

Just as the figure was approaching, a noise from elsewhere caught their attention.

The person stopped, responded, and then turned back.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief; judging from the fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy, the person was likely at the complete stage of Golden Core.

But he couldn’t understand their conversation at all.

It was a bit of a tongue-twister.

Then he heard two people talking.

“!@#￥%.”

“%￥#@.”

A long stretch of incomprehensible dialogue; Jiang Hao simply memorized these words, as their tone seemed surprised.

This made him curious about the content of their conversation.

Not understanding the language was a major inconvenience.

After waiting a moment, they slowly left.

Jiang Hao then resumed his search for an exit.

After all, with the language being different, there must be differences in methods too.

It was better not to engage in combat.

After leaving, Jiang Hao jotted down the conversation he had just heard in a notebook, in a sort of phonetic transcription.

The sounds are similar, that’s all.

But only he could understand it because the specific content was in his mind.

He just worried that he might forget one day, so he used these things as a reminder.

“Pi diao luo hua sheng qiu...”

Looking at the words he had written, he felt something was off.

No matter how he tried, it didn’t sound right.

But as long as he could figure out whose language it was, then he could know where this mine connected to.

Although it was useless, sometimes it could reinforce the impression others had of him at gatherings.

Afterward, Jiang Hao kept dodging the demon beasts, trying to leave.

About half a month passed, and he saw a faint light in the tunnel.

After making sure there was no problem, he stepped forward.

In an instant, he was back in the mine tunnel.

“Back already?”

After confirming there were no issues, he released the crowing chicken.

It was still not awake.

The time needed for a demon beast to advance was longer than he had expected.

After a thorough check to make sure Universe in the Palm left no traces, he tried to walk outside.

Shortly after, he saw two people outside the cave.

It was Yun Qi and Fairy Lan Qian.

“You actually came out safe and sound,” Yun Qi expressed with some surprise.

“I was mining and didn’t notice the changes around me. By the time I realized, I didn’t dare to act rashly, and that’s how I came out safely,” Jiang Hao said with relief.

And he placed the crowing chicken to one side.

“Many demon beasts have been hiding recently; it seems a lot of them are about to advance,” Yun Qi remarked.

Jiang Hao found it strange, why were so many demon beasts about to advance?

But he kept this question to himself and didn’t ask.

Nor did he express any opinions.

Listen more, speak less, and you won’t go wrong.

Afterward, Jiang Hao handed over the mined ores and smoothly received four thousand spirit stones.

“So many?” Jiang Hao said instinctively.

This was a lot more than before.

You see, the previous mines had accumulations, which is why his profits were high.

Now, there wasn’t much ore.

“Keep mining, there are two more months to go. Even if you buy the most expensive Heaven Replenishing Pill when you go out, you’ll still have a lot of spirit stones left,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

“Let’s wait for the crowing chicken to wake up,” Fairy Lan Qian suggested.

“Right, Senior Sister is so thoughtful, Senior Sister is a good person,” Yun Qi said with a laugh.

Naturally, Jiang Hao thanked her.

That day he went out for a trip.

In the evening, he came back, brought a new crowing chicken, and re-entered the mine.

Yun Qi and Fairy Lan Qian were stunned.

Was he that eager?

“Suddenly, I somewhat believe what he said before was true. He probably only received a few spirit stones, otherwise why would he be so eager?” Yun Qi laughed.

Jiang Hao’s eagerness was also beneficial for them.

A few thousand spirit stones were still spirit stones.

“Some people are watching us,” Fairy Lan Qian said.

“They’re small fry. Senior Sister doesn’t need to care, you continue your cultivation. Leave any problems to me. In the entire Blood Tide Forest, as long as that genius doesn’t appear, I am invincible,” Yun Qi said half-jokingly.

Fairy Lan Qian glanced at him but didn’t speak.

......

At this moment, Jiang Hao, who had entered the mine, was feeling apprehensive.

He had just learned during his outing that he had entered Tianbei Mountain, which had triggered an enlightenment.

That’s why most people and beasts had gained something, leading to the demon beasts’ enlightenment and advancement.

If he had asked that question just now, it would have been dangerous.

“Speaking of which, I need to find time to appraise this Yun Qi.”

Half a month later.

The crowing chicken woke up.

Jiang Hao walked out of the mine.

Now it was early December, and there was at most a month and a half before the Corpse Realm closed.
