Chapter 294: Striking It Rich Again

A month after entering the Corpse Realm.

Jiang Hao was mining and felt that the blue bubbles were coming a bit slowly.

So far, he had collected nine bubbles.

On average, that’s an increase of four or five points.

At this rate, it would take a year to advance.

But the value lies in stability.

And advancing in a little over a year isn’t so bad.

Especially since the ore can be sold for spirit stones.

With spirit stones, he can find a way to buy good herbs, and then I’ll be able to steadily collect some blue bubbles.

Or he could negotiate a partnership with Lian Daozhi; with high-quality seeds, he could help with planting.

With spirit stones, there’s a lot he can do, even getting the rabbit to spit out the last golden bubble.

Clang!

Clang!

Jiang Hao was mining when suddenly a large piece of ore fell.

With a bang, as the stone hit the ground, a bubble began to appear.

Just as it emerged, a streak of purple light flashed by.

【Divine Ability Fragment+1】

Huh?

“A purple bubble...?”

The sudden appearance of a purple bubble took him by surprise.

He then turned his attention to the ore.

The piece of ore was roughly the size of a hug and knee-high.

“Is it a random drop, or is there something special about this ore?”

Jiang Hao wondered.

He then tried to clear the surrounding area of the ore.

To see what kind of ore it was.

After a few sweeps, the ore was half its original size, and its color had changed.

It was now emerald green.

Continuing to clean, the ore was only as big as two hands could hold.

Emerald green, crystal clear.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a green light inside.

The light was flowing, full of vitality, and even had a hint of sword intent.

“What kind of ore is this?”

Although Jiang Hao didn’t recognize the material, he still knew it was worth a fortune.

“Too bad it’s not imbued with saber intent, else it would be useful to me, but I can still try to sell it.”

This ore can’t be taken back; it must be sold here.

But do the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators really have that many spirit stones?

Whether it’s a large sect or small sect casual cultivators, the demand for spirit stones is immense.

They wouldn’t carry too many on them.

At most, they’d have a few thousand, and that’s only if they’re saving to buy Heaven Replenishing Pills.

Otherwise, it would be even less.

Should I look for Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators?

Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t have much either, and Nascent Soul cultivators are hard to say.

“If everyone is like me, then Nascent Soul cultivators are probably quite poor too.”

Jiang Hao put away the ore and sighed.

After mining for a while longer, he only collected white bubbles.

Jiang Hao was quite pleased with this.

Because he could clearly feel his strength and spirit growing stronger.

He would be happy to continue mining like this for a hundred years.

When he sensed danger, he would take the ore and retreat.

He was extremely curious about this danger.

But he didn’t dare to explore and could only follow the rules of the mine.

After all, it wasn’t a waste of the day.

Exiting the mine, he saw Gu Wen waiting for him.

“Fellow Daoist, we have already sold quite a bit.”

How many did we sell?

Jiang Hao sensed that most of the ore was gone.

“Here is your share after splitting,” Gu Wen handed over a pile of spirit stones.

A total of 3,676 spirit stones.

That many?

This was split among six people, meaning he earned over twenty thousand in a month.

How could it be so much?

It’s impossible, he doesn’t understand much, but most of the ores are cheap stuff.

Gu Wen seemed to see through the confusion in Jiang Hao’s heart and explained:

“Actually, most ores are very cheap, but there is one that’s quite rare, called the Verdant Heart Ore. Although it hasn’t nurtured anything, its price is still not low, selling for thirteen thousand.”

It directly accounted for more than half.

Jiang Hao nodded, but then he remembered the green ore he had just obtained.

It must be of this kind.

“Actually, I just dug up a rather rare ore,” Jiang Hao said without any concern.

His share of the ore had been allocated, so it was time for their share of the spiritual medicine to be distributed.

He figured they wouldn’t be too stingy.

Even if they had their own little schemes, they would probably let them go when the time came.

“Oh?” Gu Wen exclaimed in surprise.

“What is it?”

At this moment, the others also came over.

They seemed to be somewhat interested in the new ore.

Then Jiang Hao took out the ore with sword intent from before.

“This one.”

At the sight of this ore, everyone was taken aback.

Zhuge Zheng’s eyes widened, and there was even a hint of an impulse to act.

But he suppressed the urge and immediately said, “I’ll buy this ore.”

After speaking, he looked around at the few people nearby as if to warn anyone against competing with him.

“A strand of innate sword intent, tsk tsk...” Gu Wen was amazed.

“Although a strand of sword intent is not much, for some people, it’s something they can only hope for but never find. For such people, any price is justified, but since our cultivation is not high, setting a high price would attract no buyers, only robbery. So I think a reasonable price should be set, selling for thirty-six thousand. How about it?”

“Thirty-six thousand?” Zhuge Zheng frowned.

Jiang Hao was also surprised; it was an astronomical price.

He had never seen so many spirit stones in his life.

“Thirty-six thousand isn’t too harsh, right? And if we split it, you actually only need to pay thirty thousand,” Ding Yu followed up.

“I don’t have that many spirit stones,” Zhuge Zheng pondered for a moment and continued:

“I can use a magical treasure as collateral, and if I get spirit stones later, I can redeem it.”

“I just want spirit stones,” Jiang Hao said.

“I don’t have six thousand spirit stones,” Zhuge Zheng stated.

Jiang Hao: “...”

He had just gotten nearly four thousand, and now it didn’t even add up to six thousand?

Are disciples from big sects so poor?

Thinking about it, having over two thousand was indeed not a small amount.

He, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, only had a total of five thousand.

Embarrassing.

“Then give as much as you have,” Jiang Hao said.

He didn’t want the magical treasure; it was hard to sell.

And selling it would be like telling others he had a lot of spirit stones.

In the end, Zhuge Zheng took out four magical treasures, even mortgaging his sword.

Jiang Hao got five thousand spirit stones and a jade pendant.

“This is the jade pendant of my sect. If I fail to provide the spirit stones in the end, you can take this pendant to my sect and exchange it for a thousand spirit stones or even more. In any case, you won’t lose out,” Zhuge Zheng said earnestly.

“Sword?” Jiang Hao looked at the character for ‘sword’ on the jade pendant with some surprise.

This character was truly extraordinary.

Even as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he felt its weight.

“The northern immortal sect, where the sword qi arises, the Mountain and Sea Sword Sect with a million sword immortals shining over mountains and seas,” Gu Wen couldn’t help but admire:

“Truly extraordinary.”

North

Jiang Hao felt helpless; it had to be the North.

The Corpse God Sect was not compatible with their sect.

Unless necessary, he was unwilling to set foot in the North.

He would have to wait for another opportunity.

Compared to the North, he was more willing to go to the East.

Both the Haotian Sect and the Mingyue Sect were in the East.

He hadn’t seen much of the Mountain and Sea Sword Sect, it was mentioned in the records of the mountains and seas, but with doubts, and he hadn’t been able to visit.

“Is the Mountain and Sea Sword Sect a big deal in the North?” Murong Qingqing asked.

A good question, Jiang Hao also wanted to know.

“A big deal in the North?” Ding Yu laughed.

“Be bold, it’s the same in every region. This is a sect on par with the Haotian Sect. Although it’s not ranked as high as the Haotian Sect, it’s still a sect of the same level.”

Jiang Hao: “...”

So it’s a real immortal sect.

Later, Jiang Hao, who had intended to go check on the spiritual medicine, suddenly looked into the distance.

Here it comes again.

The familiar call.
