Chapter 779: Almost Time For Advancement....

At Moon Lake, it wasn’t just Yin Xueni who was puzzled but also the woman in black robes and the people beside her.
They were all perplexed.
“We didn’t spot him. Why is that?” The woman in black robes frowned.
They had always assumed Jiang Hao would come here, but unexpectedly, he never showed up.
“Since the Heavenly Note Sect is not an option, let’s consider other alternatives,” the man said calmly.
With so many people here, there must be someone they could use.
However, Yin Xueni had good cultivation, and there weren’t many who could kill her.
Fortunately, the Thousand Feet Mountain was nearby. There should be many people there who could fight her.
“Let’s first assess the situation around us and then devise a plan,” the man said.
The woman in black robes nodded. “The people from the Fallen Immortal Clan are about to arrive. What do you plan to do, Senior Brother?”
“What are their intentions?” the man asked.
“It’s hard to say. Perhaps we’ll know once they arrive,” the woman in black robes said.
“Then, let’s wait,” said the man.
They weren’t in a rush. After all, they still needed to observe the Thousand Feet Mountain. Perhaps they could gain something there.
The opportunities at Heavenly Stele Mountain were for everyone, but there was a lot more freedom beyond that.
Jiang Hao kept digging deeper into the mine.
The mountain was vast and sloped downward, so he didn’t have to worry about digging into other areas.
However, the deeper he went, the more the spiritual energy was consumed.
There was definitely something below, but no one knew what it was.
It might be dangerous.
Jiang Hao didn’t want to keep digging down recklessly. He decided to first exhaust the surrounding ores before deciding.
He wouldn’t mind digging downward if there was a divine object below.
There were rare ores present where the Xuanyuan Sword was located.
It didn’t seem like a good idea to dig downward.
It would be better if he reached the Immortal Ascension Platform first before digging down.
From August to September, Jiang Hao continued digging.
He glanced at his interface.
[Lifeblood: 96/100 (can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 95/100 (can be cultivated)] He wasn’t far from advancement.
Another half a month or so, and he’d make it.
He walked out and handed all the ores over to Dole and Guan Zhongfei.
Over the past month, they found many different markets to sell them. They had made around 50,000 spirit stones.
Guan Zhongfei was surprised to find that he had begun earning spirit stones.
The profits were good.
Moreover, they had only sold a portion of the ores. If they sold everything, they could earn quite a lot.
He came here for opportunities, and unexpectedly, opportunities arose along with the spirit stones, especially with an unrelenting miner among them who did nothing but mine.
Others cultivated or searched for opportunities, while he mined. Even when others rested after a long day, he kept mining.
Someone having high cultivation was different, as expected. He could just go on mining.
This person appeared to be virtuous. Otherwise, with such a high cultivation realm, he could have gone around pillaging and robbing others.
However, that would cause a lot of trouble.
Selling ores for spirit stones seemed like the most rational thing to do, especially in the Golden Core Realm area and the Soul Ascension Realm area. These two places were fairly safe.
The only issue was that the people here were few. It slowed the sales down. If there are more people in their group, their profit would be less.
“I’ll be mining inside for about a month,” Jiang Hao said.
He intended to advance inside and didn’t want to be disturbed. When the time came, he would activate the Yin-Yang Bracelet and make it difficult for others to enter the cave.
“That’s great. It’s perfect timing. We need to go out to sell the ores as well,” said Dole.
He handed Jiang Hao the 50,000 spirit stones and suggested they split them later. Given the potential risks of going out, leaving it with him would be safer.
Guan Zhongfei was somewhat unwilling. He felt that once things were in Jiang Hao’s hands, they would disappear. However, he didn’t dare voice his opinion. “Senior Brother Dole is right.”
Jiang Hao nodded and accepted the spirit stones. Although he felt a pang of longing ror tne spirit stones, ne wouldn’t taKe orner people’s snare or lt. Tnere was no need for that. Since the others trusted him, there was no need to betray them.
After that, he turned and entered the mine. When it was time to come out, he would have advanced to the Immortal Ascension Platform.
To ensure safety, he buried a ring outside the mine and another one inside to prevent any accidents during his advancement. He was wary of accidents happening in the Corpse Realm itself.
One of his worries had to do with the endless sea.
He still didn’t know what it was about, but he wanted to stay vigilant.
Dole couldn’t help but sigh when he watched Jiang Hao enter the cave again. “Brother San Sheng really seems to love spirit stones.”
Otherwise, why would he mine relentlessly?
Guan Zhongfei sighed. He had been worrying about his spirit stones and now felt like he might not get them back. But with so many ores at hand, he didn’t feel like he was at a loss.
If he were to leave now with the ores, it would be good, but…
Why did he suddenly inform them that he would be mining for a month? Clearly, he had some other plan.
He wasn’t sure what Jiang Hao was planning and didn’t dare to ask.
Dole might be fearless in his ignorance, but he wasn’t. However, he somewhat understood why the person had made him listen to Dole. Dole was indeed a decent person, but his personality caused some trouble for himself sometimes.
All he could say was that Dole was a good person while Smiling San Sheng chose to be one. The former was a good senior, and the latter was someone who helped if a person was good and punished a person if they were bad.
“We should quickly sell the ores we have,” Guan Zhongfei said.
“Alright. I’ll set some formations around here to prevent detection,” Dole said seriously.
Guan Zhongfei genuinely admired the formations Dole set up. He was curious.
“Senior Brother Dole, have you learned the technique mentioned earlier, the “Stars in a Palm”?”
Smiling San Sheng had written down the steps, so he was still studying it.
Dole smiled awkwardly. “Not yet. It’ll take me some more time.”
After talking for a while, they started their work.
Dole went to Moon Lake to sell the ores. Some people knew he was selling ores, while others tried to ambush him. He was always prepared.
Several days later, he encountered a woman in black robes and a middle-stage Golden Core Realm man. These two had intentionally sought him out.
“Do you have something to say to me?” Dole asked.
“We’re here to buy ores,” the woman in black robes said softly.
Dole nodded. After negotiating, they agreed to buy some ores for 3,000 spirit stones.
As Dole was about to leave, the woman in black suddenly asked, “Who are you doing this for?”
“For a senior at the Thousand Feet Mountain,” Dole said without hesitation. He always mentioned a make-believe “senior” to avoid trouble.
The woman thanked him and didn’t ask further. Then, she watched him leave.
“If we tell Yin Xueni that Jiang Hao is selling ores with this person, do you think she’d believe us?” the woman in black suddenly asked.
“We’ll only know if we try.” The man chuckled..
