Chapter 290: I Have Been Waiting for This Day for Many Years

“There’s actually danger lurking here? If this is the state of the Foundation Establishment area, I can’t even imagine what it would be like in the Golden Core or Nascent Soul areas.”

Jiang Hao stared at the entrance, deep in thought.

He became more determined not to wander around recklessly.

It was best to find a place to help plant spiritual herbs and mine.

Both had been found, now it was just a matter of waiting for the spiritual herbs to be ready and to enter the cave to mine.

Jiang Hao looked around and saw many places outside the cave that, with some cleaning, could be used as a spiritual field.

Especially since this area was rich in spiritual energy.

Although he hadn’t checked the soil yet, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were growing well and even contained spiritual energy.

It seemed that both the environment and the soil were suitable; it would just take some time to manage.

“This cave is a bit strange. My Senior Brother warned me that it can only be mined at night, and it becomes dangerous during the day. He didn’t know exactly why. But come daylight, whether you’re at the peak of Foundation Establishment or Golden Core, you have to stay here,” Gu Wen kindly reminded.

Jiang Hao nodded; it was indeed very dangerous.

Even if he went in, he might not come out unscathed.

He couldn’t be sure what the danger was, but he could feel it.

“Since that’s the case, let’s clear a spot here to plant the spiritual herbs. During the day, the helper will take care of the spiritual herbs, and at night, mine. Do any of you have objections?” Gu Wen looked at the others.

“None,” said Zhuge Zhengdao.

“I don’t either,” Murong Qingqing agreed.

“Then, helper, you clear the spiritual field, and we’ll go out to look for things. Any problems with that?” Gu Wen finally asked Jiang Hao.

“It’s fine,” Jiang Hao simply nodded calmly.

He was naturally happy to have someone help find spiritual herbs.

Although it was difficult to consistently produce blue bubbles like the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, with a bit of luck, he wouldn’t be short of blue bubbles.

Besides, there was also the mine.

That was the most important thing.

“I need to clear the spiritual field before dark and then explore the mine,” Jiang Hao thought to himself.

After that, he began clearing the vegetation to create a sizable spiritual field.

Gu Wen and the other two were somewhat surprised watching Jiang Hao.

Was he really so easy-going?

The three didn’t think much further and each went their separate ways in search of opportunities.

Jiang Hao watched their figures disappear into the woods, feeling helpless.

These three were really cautious, hiding and observing from the shadows.

By nightfall, Jiang Hao had finished clearing the spiritual field, built a small wooden hut and a warehouse, and the three were still around.

Checking the time, Jiang Hao took out a mining hoe from his storage treasure.

As darkness fell, the danger indeed vanished, and he could explore the mine.

He had waited a long time for this day.

As for the three still observing in secret, he paid them no mind.

Their caution was strong, their patience ample.

To waste a spot letting a Foundation Establishment cultivator come in, they were certainly not ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Well, there were probably some who only got in through connections.

Such people are troublesome because they’re usually arrogant, but fortunately, he hadn’t encountered any.

Before entering the mine, Jiang Hao glanced at his status panel.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 26】

【Cultivation: Late Nascent Soul】

【Cultivation Techniques: Tianyin Hundred Revolutions, Primordial Heart Sutra】

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear Heart and Pure Mind, Hidden Spirit Manifestation, Divine Might, Withered Tree Meets Spring】

【Vital Energy: 33/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 34/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be acquired)】

“I’m still far from advancing. I wonder if mining will catch up with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.”

Now in the late stage of Nascent Soul, mining profits definitely won’t match those from the time at the mine.

Moreover, the quality of the ore in the sect’s mine is extremely high, and it’s likely inferior here.

After all, beneath the mine lies an ancient battlefield filled with all sorts of things.

There are remnants of ancient souls, legacies of great powers.

There are even supreme treasures.

In the entire cultivation world, which mine can compare to that?

But a mine is still a mine; blue bubbles are rare, but there should be plenty of white and green ones.

It’s a huge gain nonetheless.

Entering the mine, Jiang Hao felt a chill.

The walls of the tunnel glowed, illuminating the entire passage.

It was a vast tunnel.

The air carried a trace of poison, which would accumulate in the body if breathed in for too long. And it could bypass one’s cultivation level.

“If one is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, they couldn’t stay here for long.”

Jiang Hao pondered to himself.

With his cultivation level, naturally, it wasn’t a problem, and he also had the Withered Tree Meets Spring technique.

These poisons had no effect on him.

Soon he arrived at a fork in the path, one to the left and one to the right.

To the left. He chose at random.

“Nothing at all?”

There was no danger along the way, so where did the daytime dangers come from?

Before long, he reached the end.

It seemed he could start mining.

Jiang Hao didn’t think much about other things; he could handle danger.

When he established his spiritual field, he had buried a golden ring, which would give him three breaths’ time to leave this place.

If three breaths weren’t enough, there was also the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.

It would be even faster.

But using one meant one less talisman, and so far, he couldn’t make them.

If he were to damage his divine abilities, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Perhaps after reaching Spirit Refining, he could make them.

However, to reach Spirit Refining, it would probably take more than three years.

After Spirit Refining, his potential and cultivation level could rank him among the top ten disciples.

He would be somewhat safer within the sect.

He sighed.

Jiang Hao picked up the pickaxe and began to mine.

Clang!

The rock was chipped away bit by bit.

It was unusually hard.

Fortunately, his pickaxe was a magical treasure; otherwise, it’s uncertain how long it could last.

Clang!

Clang!

After some time, white bubbles began to appear, followed by green ones.

【Strength +1】

【Spirit +1】

【Endurance +1】

【Spirit Sword +1】

As Jiang Hao kept swinging the pickaxe, more ores appeared around him.

He didn’t recognize these ores and simply set them aside.

.......

In the middle of the night.

Clang!

A piece of ore fell, and a blue bubble appeared with it.

【Cultivation +1】

“It appeared so soon?”

After that, he mined even more vigorously.

Until he sensed danger.

This danger was inexplicable as if it came from all directions.

Without hesitation, he took the mined ores and retreated.

Fortunately, he exited the tunnel before the crisis completely enveloped it.

Just as he came out, he bumped into Gu Wen and his two companions.

They looked at Jiang Hao with strange eyes.

As if to say: Were you really mining?

Especially after seeing Jiang Hao put the ores into the storage, they were even more baffled.

Did this person come here just to do menial work?

Looking at the ores, Jiang Hao sighed.

Time passed so quickly; it was already dawn.

Only one blue bubble had appeared.

At that moment, Jiang Hao saw the spiritual herbs in the spiritual field.

There were three herbs brimming with abundant spiritual energy.

However, all three herbs showed signs of withering.

“This is the spiritual medicine we brought back. We don’t know exactly how to cultivate it, and it’s not okay to just pack it away. It’s up to you now,” Gu Wen said to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao nodded, then began to examine the spiritual medicine.

He also started to look up information.

After a whole day, he finally managed to revive the herbs a little.

But it was clearly not enough; they needed long-term care.

......

Night fell.

Jiang Hao stood up and entered the mine again.

In the early morning, he brought out many more ores.

Then he continued to take care of the spiritual medicine.

This left Gu Wen and the others completely baffled.
