Chapter 291: A Genius that Shocks the World

On the third day.

Gu Wen, Zhuge Zheng, and Murong Qingqing stood under a large tree, watching Jiang Hao take care of the spiritual medicine.

All three of them were puzzled.

“What do you think?” Gu Wen asked.

“I only know that those who can come here are definitely the best of their sects. Even if some people get in through connections, they won’t be too ordinary. This person’s behavior is extremely odd; he must have his own agenda,” Zhuge Zheng said coldly.

“Is it possible that his cultivation is too low, and he’s just going with the flow? He has a mining pickaxe, so it seems he came prepared,” Murong Qingqing suggested.

“It’s possible, but this guy is really useful, and he’s bringing out more ores than usual. What does that tell us? He not only hands them all over but also never rests. I remember what my Senior Brother said about the yield,” Gu Wen said with a smile.

“Let’s see how long he can keep this up. Maybe he’s just putting on a show, and in a few days, he’ll slow down,” Zhuge Zheng added.

“I think so too. This way, he’s delaying his chance and even his cultivation,” Murong Qingqing followed up.

“Probably,” Gu Wen said.

The three fell silent for a long time, then said no more.

Regardless, they were all here to find their fortunes.

The spiritual medicine was just a bonus.

It would be best to take back as much as they could.

The same went for the ores.

These were secondary; they wanted to get what they were after.

Before finding it, there was no need to make enemies.

Afterward, the three began to search for their fortunes.

......

At this time, Jiang Hao, who was tending to the spiritual medicine, looked up and saw the three leaving. He felt somewhat surprised.

There wasn’t a trace of greed in their eyes; they all had their own purposes.

These external things didn’t seem that important to them.

“Indeed, they’re not ordinary in their sects. Ordinary resources are just icing on the cake for them. There’s no need to pay too much attention.”

Jiang Hao glanced at the ores, sighed, and thought to himself that he was different, more worldly.

Unfortunately, the ores would turn into spirit stones if sold, and he didn’t know how much they would fetch in the end.

The ores here weren’t anything extraordinary and weren’t very valuable.

And the blue bubbles were indeed rare; only one had appeared in two days.

The few spiritual herbs had only produced white bubbles.

Jiang Hao wasn’t dissatisfied at all.

Having such a harvest just after entering was very good.

All thanks to those three.

If it weren’t for them, who knows how long it would take to find the mine, and although the spiritual herbs were easy to collect, it was time-consuming.

Now, he just needed to take care of the spiritual medicine during the day, occasionally cultivate, and mine at night.

Life was fulfilling this way.

If only the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower were here.

Then it would be perfect.

With the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and many other spiritual herbs in front, and the mine to dig at any time behind.

Unfortunately, such things only existed in fantasy.

......

Days passed by.

Half a month later.

Gu Wen and the others had found many spiritual herbs, and they even went to watch Jiang Hao mine at night.

He was working harder every day; was this really normal for a cultivator?

Did his sect send him here just to mine?

If his sect found out, wouldn’t they be furious?

“I feel like he’s here to mine, not to help us out,” Murong Qingqing said.

“What’s he after?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

The ores were set aside, no cultivation, no special items seen.

Continuously mining here was obviously not normal.

Without a motive, why would he mine so desperately?

It’s impossible.

“That’s a good question, and I’m curious too,” Gu Wen said with some interest.

“After all, my Senior Brother also mined like crazy. No one knew what he was after. He mined for half a year, and I remember one Senior Sister said. The more he mined, the more haggard he became.”

“Six months later, he suddenly stopped mining and turned to leave the mine. At that moment, the bottleneck that had troubled him for so long completely crumbled. He advanced in rank in one fell swoop.”

“Is there something peculiar here?” Murong Qingqing asked.

“I don’t know, no one has given me an answer,” Gu Wen shook his head.

“Aren’t you going to try?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“No, I have my own path to follow. There’s no need to stray from it out of curiosity,” Gu Wen said to the two beside him.

“What about you? Do you want to give it a try?”

“We’ve been targeted recently, better to figure out how to deal with them first,” Zhuge Zheng replied.

They all had clear objectives.

They wouldn’t be sidetracked until their goals were achieved.

There was no need for it.

......

Corpse Realm.

Myriad Stones Forest.

This area belonged to the Golden Core region, but people of various cultivation levels were flocking here.

All because a mountain had appeared in the middle of Myriad Stones Forest. (TLN: summon)

The mountain was lush with trees, and a river flowed gently down from its peak.

It was like a spirit spring nourishing the land.

From high above, one could vaguely make out the silhouette of a stele.

“Senior Sister Lan Qian, is this Tianbei Mountain?”

A young man at the foot of the mountain asked the Senior Sister beside him.

They were both disciples of the Corpse God Sect.

They had entered from the Tianyin Sect.

The young man was delicate and frail-looking, but his cultivation was at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.

The woman beside him had an extraordinary aura, her expression indifferent, with the cultivation of the early Spirit Refining stage.

“There’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long time,” she said, looking at the man beside her.

“The Yun Qi I know, although he seems to get along with me, has a cold and violent nature, he’s just good at hiding it. Since he hasn’t offended me, we can still talk. Lately, he seems to have taken an interest in my body. I thought about getting rid of him, but the next day, I found that the thought had disappeared. Not only that, but he actually became friendly with me. Even that violent and cold demeanor was gone.”

“What do you mean, Senior Sister?” Yun Qi asked with a smile.

“It means nothing, I’m just telling you. Many people know Yun Qi’s true nature. Because of his identity, no one wants to touch him. Otherwise, with his actions, he doesn’t deserve to stay in the Corpse God Sect. That’s why, even if I notice something, I’ll turn a blind eye. But others may not notice this,” Senior Sister Lan Qian said.

Yun Qi smiled and asked, “Senior Sister, what do you think this mountain is all about?”

“Tianbei Mountain seems like a mountain of opportunity, but it’s likely a place of inheritance. And there’s a deeper secret within, which I don’t know specifically. However, as long as you comprehend something here, you can indeed progress faster and smoother,” Senior Sister Lan Qian said.

Following the mountain path, they saw a clearing with a stele.

“This is the first stele where you can comprehend.”

Senior Sister Lan Qian continued, “The Heavenly Gang thirty-six are difficult to approach, but the Earthly Fiends seventy-two can be comprehended if found.

So you can choose whichever one you want to comprehend,” Senior Sister Lan Qian said.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a faint light appeared on the stele.

Seeing this light, Senior Sister Lan Qian was startled and somewhat surprised.

“Senior Sister, what does this light represent?” Yun Qi asked curiously.

Senior Sister Lan Qian frowned slightly and said, “I’ve seen it once before; this is Tianbei Mountain attempting to summon someone. And such a person, without exception, is recognized by Tianbei Mountain as a prodigious genius. But... the light wasn’t as obvious as it is now.”
