Chapter 321: Seeking the Tianyin Sect for Foundation Establishment
Upon hearing Jiang Hao’s voice, everyone was startled.
Logically, it should be impossible for someone at the late stage of Foundation Establishment to survive.
If he was alive, it was highly probable that the other party had not made a move and was instead continuing to use him.
After all, Jiang Hao knew how to mine, and the likelihood of being exploited was high.
They could simply silence him when the time came.
For a moment, everyone sighed internally.
Could they really not escape this calamity?
When the five of them went out, they found Jiang Hao standing at the entrance of the cave with some mud on his hands, as if he had just been tending to some spiritual herbs.
Gu Wen immediately began looking for traces of those two powerful individuals, but his brow quickly furrowed.
Where were they?
Why were those two strong individuals nowhere to be seen?
Not just him, the others were puzzled as well.
“What are you looking for?”
Seeing that all five of them had come out alive, Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fewer people meant slower mining.
However, seeing their disheveled appearance, he became more determined to sell magical treasures.
They probably needed them.
“Where are the two seniors?”
Gu Wen cautiously asked, “Have they left temporarily?”
If that was the case, then there might still be a chance to escape.
“They left,” Jiang Hao replied.
“They left?” The group was shocked.
Just like that?
It made no sense.
“Yes, they left.”
Jiang Hao nodded, not elaborating on the matter.
He looked at Zhuge Zheng’s sword, “It seems that Daoist Zhuge’s spirit sword is broken?”
“Yes,” Zhuge Zheng replied with some regret, looking at the broken sword.
It was his last magical treasure.
In an instant, Jiang Hao produced a spirit sword, “Does this sword suit you?”
Zhuge Zheng took the sword, tried it briefly, and nodded, “It’s decent.”
“This is a Golden Core level spirit sword, its market price should be around eight or nine thousand, maybe even ten thousand. I’ll sell it to you for a low price. Six thousand five hundred will do.”
“Uh…”
Zhuge Zheng was a bit surprised at the moment, but six thousand five hundred was indeed very cheap.
The quality of this spirit sword was decent, and its market price might be around twelve thousand.
But then…
Seeing Zhuge Zheng’s troubled expression, Jiang Hao kindly asked, “Do you have any concerns, Daoist friend?”
“I only have five thousand seven hundred spirit stones,” Zhuge Zheng said awkwardly.
Their group should be the wealthiest in the vicinity.
However, Zhuge Zheng was the poorest among them.
He was the first to leave, surrendering all his spirit stones and magical treasures.
These few thousand were only earned recently after joining the group.
Jiang Hao pretended to ponder before nodding, “That’s fine.”
“Then when the time comes, Daoist friend, you can take this jade token to my sect to exchange for two thousand spirit stones,” Zhuge Zheng said earnestly.
Afterward, Jiang Hao received five thousand seven hundred and sixty-three spirit stones.
The others found it strange that someone at the late stage of Foundation Establishment was selling Golden Core magical treasures.
At this moment, Jiang Hao turned his gaze to Gu Wen.
Instantly, Gu Wen knew that Jiang Hao was eyeing his spirit stones and quickly said.
“My magical treasure is broken, but I still have some…”
Before he could finish, a Nascent Soul level stone seal appeared in front of Gu Wen.
“Nascent Soul level magical treasure, usable by Golden Core, ten thousand spirit stones.”
Gu Wen, unlike the others, was sure to have the most spirit stones among them, aside from Jiang Hao.
Upon seeing the stone seal, Gu Wen didn’t hesitate to take the magical treasure and handed over ten thousand spirit stones.
“Daoist friend is truly considerate, knowing that I am in need of a magical treasure.”
It wasn’t about how much he earned, but rather the compatibility of the magical treasure with him.
They were also stunned upon hearing the words ‘Nascent Soul’.
It quickly dawned on them that the two powerful individuals from before were likely devoured.
They didn’t know how it was done, but it must have been by Jiang Hao.
Did he have someone backing him up, or did he possess a powerful magical treasure himself?
For a moment, they regretted entering the mine.
If they had, they could have found out the truth.
Of course, this was just a thought; sometimes, knowing too much could cost you your life.
“Do you have any robes?” Xia Dong asked.
Ding Yu also immediately said, “Do you have shields? Or spiritual-type magical treasures?”
“I would like a compass,” Murong Qingqing inquired.
Jiang Hao helplessly shook his head, “I don’t have those at the moment.”
At the moment?
The group looked at him with surprise.
Jiang Hao simply spoke plainly, but their minds raced with possibilities.
Afterwards, Jiang Hao sold Nascent Soul elixirs and other items acquired from the Tianyin Sect.
In short, he sold everything he could at low prices.
Only by selling them could they be converted into spirit stones; otherwise, they held no value.
Moreover, these people aren’t fools; they all know there’s something fishy about the origins of these items, like the two magical treasures.
By purchasing them, they’re also taking on the risk, so getting them at half price is only fair.
In the end, Jiang Hao made a profit of nineteen thousand spirit stones.
Adding to his original thirty-three thousand, he now had a total of fifty-two thousand spirit stones.
Fifty-two thousand…
Jiang Hao had never seen so many spirit stones in his life.
“Right.”
Gu Wen suddenly said, “We have some news about the Azure Red Sky you mentioned.”
“News?”
Jiang Hao felt like ten thousand spirit stones were about to slip through his fingers.
“Yes, but the person said they don’t have Azure Red Sky. Instead, they can get September Spring. Would that be acceptable?” Gu Wen asked.
September Spring?
Jiang Hao was taken aback; Hong Yuye had mentioned this name.
Initially, Hong Yuye had talked about two types of tea, Azure Red Sky and September Spring.
Azure Red Sky was eleven thousand per mace, and September Spring was twenty-one thousand per mace.
So, the money he had just earned wasn’t even enough to buy it?
No way.
Jiang Hao declined and asked them to keep looking for Azure Red Sky.
Afterward, he took his crowing rooster and headed to the mine to continue mining.
Gu Wen and the others watched as Jiang Hao disappeared into the tunnel, still somewhat in disbelief.
It seemed they had really dodged a bullet.
“Good thing I’m an honest person,” Gu Wen said with a smile.
If he hadn’t been, then…
He glanced at the magical treasures in his hand; they would have been sold by now.
“Do you think he has someone backing him, or does he possess some extraordinary item?” Ding Yu asked.
“Why can’t it be that he’s concealing his cultivation level?” Xia Dong suggested.
The group found that hard to believe.
“I’ve seen people hide their cultivation, but I’ve never seen anyone hide a Nascent Soul level down to Foundation Establishment, and to be captured by us, a group of complete Foundation Establishment, to watch over the spiritual medicine. Even if it was his own will, no Nascent Soul would tolerate such humiliation,” Zhuge Zheng rarely spoke at such length.
The group couldn’t agree more.
But they didn’t think too much about it.
It’s better to turn the page on such matters; knowing less can’t hurt.
……
“The Enlightenment Spring has appeared.”
Fairy Lan Qian received the secret message and was somewhat intrigued.
“Enlightenment Spring?” Yun Qi was quite curious.
“Does this thing also exist in the Corpse Realm?”
“Yes, and it’s appeared in the Blood Tide Forest, which is strange. It’s odd for such a thing to appear in a Foundation Establishment area,” Fairy Lan Qian was puzzled.
“Indeed, the Enlightenment Spring must be formed by the gathering of enlightenment, resonating with the grand momentum of mountains and rivers, converging into a spring. That means, if it’s not that there’s a powerful being in the Blood Tide Forest, then there must be some special existence being suppressed there,” Yun Qi analyzed.
“If that’s the case, the recent changes in the Human Yuan Formation might have originated from the Blood Tide Forest,” Fairy Lan Qian suggested.
“Blood Tide Forest?”
Yun Qi hesitated for a moment, then smiled, “Shall we go take a look?”
“We can. The next time Tianbei Mountain is likely to appear in the Spirit Refining area, it would be too dangerous for us to go there,” Fairy Lan Qian said.
“I think we should keep a low profile if we go to the Blood Tide Forest. What do you think, Senior Sister?” Yun Qi asked.
Fairy Lan Qian gave Yun Qi a deep look and nodded,
“Then let’s suppress our cultivation to the Golden Core level, but first, we need to go to the Golden Core area. Tianbei Mountain’s fifth appearance might be there. After one more session of enlightenment, we can go to the Blood Tide Forest to find the Enlightenment Spring.”
“However, it won’t be easy for those at the Foundation Establishment level in the Blood Tide Forest. I remember the Tianyin Sect has a Foundation Establishment member there, right?”
“When the time comes, we should see if we want to ask about the situation. If it’s not annoying, we might be able to protect them.”
“Senior Sister is truly kind-hearted. The Tianyin Sect has killed so many of our fellow disciples,” Yun Qi said with a smile.
Fairy Lan Qian glanced at Yun Qi but didn’t speak.
