Chapter 332: Even Soul Ascension Cultivators Are Defeated

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When he came out of the mine, Jiang Hao saw Lan Qian cultivating at a distance.

Yun Qi half-reclined on a tree.

A woman was kneeling under the tree.

Jiang Hao noticed that the woman’s cultivation was higher than Primordial

Spirit Realm.

The woman looked terrified. She seemed unable to move.

“Do we look like an easy game to you? You, a late-stage Soul Ascension Realm cultivator, dare to come here?” Yun Qi sat up and looked at the woman in front of him. “How does it feel to see your cultivation drop bit by bit? It cost me quite a few spirit stones. I’ve been earning for so long, but it’s not even enough for the small change. Will you compensate me for that?”

“Please, Senior, forgive me. I have a magic treasure. I can give that to you as compensation,” the woman pleaded.

Then, Jiang Hao saw the woman’s cultivation drop to the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

‘A curse?’

Jiang Hao glanced at Yun Qi and then activated his divine ability.

Soon, he received the feedback.

[Yun Qi: True Disciple of the Divine Corpse Sect. His cultivation is displayed in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. His mind has been wiped by Bi Zhu. He is under Bi Zhu’s control.]

Jiang Hao was surprised. The information he got was limited. It was much less than what he got from Shang An.

‘Wiped and controlled… Does that mean the main person behind this isn’t here?’ Jiang Hao wondered. ‘At least I can be sure that Gui’s real name is Bi Zhu. I need to be more careful.’

Although the information he received was limited, it was still valuable.

However, he couldn’t say this at the next gathering.

The woman handed Yun Qi a magical treasure, and he let her go.

After dealing with the woman, Yun Qi approached Jiang Hao and handed him four thousand spirit stones.

Jiang Hao thanked him. He had received eight thousand spirit stones from him in total.

Combined with what he had from before, it came up to forty-seven thousand spirit stones.

He could soon catch up to the loss he had suffered from buying the September Spring tea.

In the past few days, he felt that his understanding of the Hong Meng Heart Sutra had become clearer.

He didn’t know if it was because of the tea or Heavenly Stele Mountain. Maybe it was both.

So far, the changes he observed were that his strength had increased slightly, but his cultivation realm had not changed.

In addition, the purple spiritual energy on his body had become denser. His techniques were also more effective.

For example, the sealing technique, which previously required the same level of strength as the enemy to inflict severe damage. Now he could use it on anyone unprepared.

However, it would still be broken after a while, but he could keep reinforcing it.

After handing the other ores to Yun Qi, Jiang Hao took a break.

He had to wait for the mine to reopen.

Recently, there had been a change. The mine opened for days on end, but it took longer when it was finally closed.

This time, it would probably take half a month to open.

Since he couldn’t mine, he might as well try doing something else.

Jiang Hao looked at Yun Qi. “Senior, has Heavenly Stele Mountain appeared anywhere again?”

After the Heavenly Stele Mountain disappeared, he had not received any new summons.

In theory, Heavenly Stele Mountain should appear somewhere again.

“You should ask Senior Sister about it.” Yun Qi glanced at Lan Qian.

Lan Qian had finished her cultivation just now. She looked at them. “In theory, it should appear again, but because of the extraordinary genius, it has disappeared. Currently, there is no news of it appearing anywhere. It might not appear again.”

‘What? It won’t appear again?’ Jiang Hao was surprised. He wanted to ask about the extraordinary genius, but he didn’t want to ask too many questions. It might annoy them. He would ask Zhuang Yuzhen when he returned to his sect.

“Senior Sister, what did the extraordinary genius do at Heavenly Stele Mountain that time?” Yun Qi asked.

‘Good question…’ Jiang Hao felt that Gui was good at asking questions.

“He reached the summit. I think he was trying to comprehend the highest stone tablet. It is said that only a very few people have been able to approach the highest stone tablet in the history of the Divine Corpse Sect. I heard that the highest stone tablet is blank, but he still comprehended something from it.

I’m not sure…”

Jiang Hao hadn’t comprehended anything. Compared to the people here, his talent was indeed lacking. But he didn’t mind.

If he continued to hide in the Heavenly Note Sect, he could steadily become stronger. He didn’t need to compare himself to anyone.

However, the fact that Heavenly Stele Mountain wouldn’t appear again made Jiang Hao feel disappointed.

He hadn’t wiped off the dust from all the tablets yet.

He was looking forward to coming back here again.

Next time, he would visit Heavenly Stele Mountain and spend the rest of the time mining.

Hao staved in the same place to cultivate for a month before the mine reopened.

Since the appearance of Heavenly Stele Mountain, the changes in the mine were very strange. It was completely different from before.

“You can only mine for ten days. Use the remaining time to try to communicate with the Human Yuan Formation. It will be convenient for your departure,” Lan Qian said calmly.

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked her.

Afterward, Jiang Hao entered the mine once again. Allying with the two wealthy seniors proved quite beneficial.

He could get a good share of spirit stones.

He just hoped they wouldn’t turn against him at the last moment.

Jiang Hao had already appraised Lan Qian. She was an ordinary disciple of the Divine Corpse Sect and was in the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm. She was reserved in nature, but she didn’t really have any intention of robbing him.

There was also nothing threatening about Gui or Yun Qi.

This time, he couldn’t mine for ten days. On the eighth day, the rooster crowed.

Jiang Hao glanced at his interface. [Lifeblood: 98/100 (Can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 99/100 (Can be cultivated)]

‘What a pity! ‘

He didn’t want to advance in this place and alert others. So, it was just as well.

After going back, he could try to advance within a week.

Then, he would go to Bai Ye.

However, he couldn’t do it right after going out. He needed to delay it a bit.

Yun Qi took the ores. “There’s no time to sell them. Everyone is getting ready to go out. I’ll take the remaining ores. You can still get two thousand for these.”

Jiang Hao thanked him and accepted the spirit stones. He was delighted. He had earned ten thousand during this period.

It was a lot.

He had a total of forty-nine thousand spirit stones on him. He was almost about to reach fifty thousand.

Unfortunately, when he returned, it would be the start of a new year. It would be the time for another incarnation of the peach tree.

These spirit stones couldn’t be kept for too long.

“Do you know how to communicate with the Human Yuan Formation?” Lan Qian asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“In that case, you can stay here for the remaining days. No one dares to approach this place in the Blood Tide Forest,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

Jiang Hao thanked them. He had wanted to find another place, but it seemed that he couldn’t do it now.

After that, Yun Qi and Lan Qian left.

For them, they were just helping someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm and earning some spirit stones in the process.

The two arrived in a secluded area of the Blood Tide Forest.

“Senior sister, let’s part ways here,” Yun Qi said.

Lan Qian nodded.

“By the way, this is for you.” Yun Qi gave her a blood-red bead. “This thing can save your life, and it’s very lethal. Let me put it this way, even the elders who brought you to the Heavenly Note Sect wouldn’t dare to touch it. Oh, and there’s this too.”

Yun Qi took out a jade pendant.

“Keep this, Senior sister. I have some people in the south and east regions. If vou feel like running awav one dav. vou can find me there.”

Lan Qian was speechless..
