Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: I Dislike You Now

Jiang Hao took a good look at the newcomers.

The male cultivator was slightly plump, his hand forming a seal, seemingly ready to cast a spell at any moment.

His gestures indicated a conventional attack spell.

The female cultivator had a well-proportioned body and distinct facial features and wore a robe that seemed to have defensive and acceleration functions, judging from some of the patterns.

She was on full alert, seemingly ready to handle any danger.

“I think mining here is not bad at all,” Jiang Hao shook his head in refusal.

Regardless of whether what they said was true or false, so far, this place was still good for mining.

“Then we’ll have to offend you, as we indeed need a partner like you,” the male cultivator named Ding Yu said, preparing to take action.

Boom!

A fireball landed in front of Ding Yu.

Then, three figures arrived on flying swords from afar.

It was Gu Wen and his two companions returning.

“We mean no harm,” Ding Yu and his companion backed away a bit and said.

“I also believe you mean no harm, so why not leave now?” Gu Wen asked with a smile.

“We’ll take our leave,” Ding Yu and his companion quickly departed.

Everyone was strong and of the same realm; initiating a fight would be unpredictable.

So unless necessary, everyone showed restraint.

If it came to something important, that would be a different story.

No one was the type to give up easily.

Jiang Hao: “…”

He had intended to take action to let them know he was not just an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator so they would not bother him again.

Then it would be easier to inquire about the mine.

The Corpse Realm would open in as little as half a year or as much as a year.

This mine might not last that long.

And it was best not to touch areas where the Enchantress had been to prevent accidents.

“Daoist Jiang, are you alright?” Gu Wen asked.

“I’m fine,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“There’s too much here, it’s likely to attract prying eyes,” Murong Qingqing pointed at the ore.

Jiang Hao knew this, but if he didn’t leave it here, these three wouldn’t be at ease looking for spiritual herbs.

“How about this, we go sell it, and the spirit stones we get, we split four ways? The same goes for the spiritual herbs,” Gu Wen looked at Jiang Hao and said.

“What do you think?”

Jiang Hao looked at the spiritual herbs and finally nodded:

“Alright.”

Not all ore is valuable, but the spiritual herbs here are very valuable.

And with these three helping to sell, it would be much better than selling on his own.

Ore turned into spirit stones is the best kind of ore.

Otherwise, I can only wait to sell it when I get back, and that would let people know I have a huge sum of money on me.

That would definitely attract some trouble.

Might as well deal with it here.

Then they took out the spiritual herbs again.

Currently, there are more than twenty strains of spiritual herbs, some Jiang Hao recognizes, some he does not.

Their value should all be quite high.

The main characteristic is that they emit bubbles.

This can be used to judge their quality.

If one day a particular spiritual herb consistently produces blue bubbles, then it must be worth a fortune.

Occasional blue bubbles are just random.

……

On the other side, in front of the cave.

Ding Yu frowned slightly and said:

“Our spiritual herbs are unattended and likely to wither. Moreover, the mine is not being worked on; this is not a solution.”

Even if they found someone in the late Foundation Establishment stage, that person would flee as soon as they left.

They wouldn’t mine at all.

This means that it would be difficult for them to gain more.

“What should we do? That person won’t come easily, and there are three at the peak of Foundation Establishment,” asked Fairy Xia Dong.

“Let’s cooperate. I’ve observed carefully, and the things we want shouldn’t overlap. There’s a possibility for cooperation,” Ding Yu said.

Fairy Xia Dong frowned and asked, “How do we cooperate?”

“Give all the spiritual herbs to that person to cultivate, and then split the profits evenly, both the ores and the herbs,” Ding Yu suggested.

“Will they agree? And we’re not sure how they’ll distribute the benefits,” Xia Dong felt it was difficult.

Ding Yu pondered for a moment and then said:

“They definitely couldn’t tell before, but now they’re likely to split evenly. Because we’ve started recruiting people, it means we’ve increased the value of that late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. As long as those three aren’t fools, they won’t oppress him. And our entry is not a loss for them. After all, we bring spiritual herbs and the mine with us. Having more people is also helpful for the future; Golden Core cultivators might come to this area after some time. The only thing I’m worried about is that mine; I’ve heard it’s not an ordinary mine, and there might be people watching it later on.”

“What’s with the mine?” Xia Dong asked curiously.

“It’s hard to say, but one of my Senior Sisters went in, and ten days later, she left quickly and dared not approach again. She warned me not to go in, or if I did, not to linger. If one’s will is not strong enough, they might fall into it,” Ding Yu said.

“That person has been mining inside for a long time, right?” Xia Dong wondered.

“It’s possible that he has a strong will, but it’s also possible that he’s already fallen. So when I asked him if he wanted to leave, I was actually testing him,” Ding Yu sighed slightly.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t confirm the answer, but he really does mine, and there’s no harm in us going there. If there’s danger later, we can just retreat.”

……

Three days later.

Jiang Hao noticed that the number of spiritual herbs had increased significantly.

It was then that he realized there were two more partners.

It was the two people from before.

According to what Gu Wen said, they were now in a partnership, splitting the profits evenly.

Jiang Hao did not refuse; the more spiritual herbs, the better.

And in these two days, he had not seen the Enchantress.

It was quiet.

……

On the seventh day.

Which was three weeks after entering.

“Aren’t you going to look for me if I don’t come to you?”

Jiang Hao heard a plaintive voice in the mine.

Glancing at the other party, Jiang Hao felt that their words carried a special power.

It seemed to want to melt his heart.

Their appearance, actions, and words were all like this.

Was this the art of enchantment?

Fortunately, he felt nothing after listening and looking.

“Do you think I’m dressed too revealingly? Then I’ll wear more next time,” the Enchantress said softly, seeing Jiang Hao’s indifference.

“What’s the danger in this cave?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I don’t know, but…”

The Enchantress hadn’t finished speaking when her head was suddenly chopped off by a blade.

She glared at Jiang Hao, her complaint tinged with coquettish anger:

“Couldn’t you let me finish? I don’t know, but if you’re curious, I can find out for you. Now I hate you.”

With that, the Enchantress disappeared on the spot.

Jiang Hao didn’t care and continued mining.

…….

Myriad Stones Forest.

Tianbei Mountain.

A man in his late twenties was contemplating a stele.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, looked into the distance, and murmured to himself:

“It’s close, it’s very close. I’ve prepared for so many years and have finally come back to this place. Xiao Mei, wait for me, wait for me to come for you. This time I will definitely take you out, you are mine.”

At that moment, the desire in his eyes was undisguised.

“Unfortunately, this body is too weak; even at full strength, it’s only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. I need more leverage. By comprehending this stele and acquiring divine powers, I’ll have more hope. Certainly, many people want to get their hands on you, but none are as quick as me. It’s difficult to take you out. But I’m one step ahead of them and have thought of a way. This time, I will obtain you completely. Hahaha!”
