Chapter 689: Encountering A Rare Ore Vein

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao looked around and felt that this place was indeed unusual, but it didn’t seem to offer any mining benefits. He could only explore it.

After a while, they arrived at a narrow pa.s.sage. It was just wide enough for one person to pa.s.s through.

Feng Wei turned to Jiang Hao. “I’ll go ahead.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He wasn’t worried about being trapped or kicked out. He was merely curious and didn’t care whether he obtained anything.

He didn’t need that many chances. The opportunities he already had were enough for a lifetime. There was no need to strive for more.

If he kept his mental state calm, he wouldn’t be influenced by external factors and could continue forward.

Sometimes, external opportunities were attractive, but they might disrupt his original path to success.

These opportunities often came with risks, and if he were dragged into trouble and couldn’t mine or cultivate spirit herbs, it could destroy his original opportunities.

The pa.s.sage was not short, and Jiang Hao followed Feng Wei for quite some time. Finally, they reached a s.p.a.cious cave.

There were many formations in this cave. It made it difficult for those who didn’t understand formations.

Jiang Hao suddenly realized that this junior was quite knowledgeable in formations.

“We’re here.” Feng Wei stood at the edge of the cave.

In front of them was their intended destination. It was a ma.s.sive formation that covered the entire cave.

“What kind of formation is this?”

Jiang Hao saw a formation that covered the entire cave with spiritual energy flowing within.

“I’ll investigate.” Feng Wei approached it cautiously.

Jiang Hao nodded and activated his Daily Appraisal ability.

[Forgotten Teleportation Formation: A teleportation formation containing an ancient technique of the Xuanyuan Clan that leads to rare mining veins beneath the Sun Moon Peak.]

‘Rare veins?’ Jiang Hao had an idea of what that meant.

It was a forgotten formation, which meant that no one knew what existed on the other side.

If he could pa.s.s through unnoticed, he could mine rare ores. It should be better than what he was doing here, and his advancement to the next stage would become more achievable.

He walked into the formation and felt a strange sensation. It was similar to the feeling of the Heaven Secrets Hidden Talisman.

‘Can this formation conceal divine insights?’ Jiang Hao wondered.

Perhaps because if this formation was forgotten, it meant they didn’t want anyone to know about it. Now, he needed to figure out how to use it.

“Senior.” At that point, Feng Wei approached him. “This appears to be a teleportation formation, but we don’t know where it leads. Using it is risky.” “Do you dare to do it?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I was going to ask you that, Senior. I’m just a prisoner, and there’s no hope for me. Naturally, I want to try my luck. But you have a bright future. You must think this through, Senior,” Feng Wei said.

“No problem,” Jiang Hao said softly. “Let’s give it a try.”

The risk wasn’t that great according to his appraisal. He could give it a shot, but he had to be prepared to escape if things went south.

“In that case, I’ll try to activate it,” Feng Wei said.

Jiang Hao nodded and didn’t say much. At the center of the formation, he felt a surge of power from below, and then his entire body was enveloped by a force.

With a flash of light, the scene before Jiang Hao changed.

It was still a ma.s.sive cave, but there were about a dozen exits, and they all showed signs of abandonment.

Feng Wei looked around in excitement. He felt that he could finally escape the mines. “The restriction on your body is about to activate,” Jiang Hao said suddenly.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but admire this junior. He was indeed quite skilled.

“What do you plan to do, Senior?” Feng Wei asked.

Jiang Hao didn’t answer. He went into one of the caves and started mining. Soon, he found a pleasant surprise. A purple bubble dropped.

[Divine Ability Fragment +1]

This was the first pleasant surprise. There probably wouldn’t be any more such bubbles in the future, but the fact that it was purple indicated the presence of rare ores in this place.

“I’ll stay here and mine. Friend, you can explore around,” Jiang Hao said.

This was a rare vein, and he couldn’t leave.

With his Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman, he might be able to mine here longer.

If the Heavenly Note Sect kept battling for a few years, he could mine here.

But…

There was still Hong Yuye. He couldn’t conceal himself from her.

Jiang Hao looked at Feng Wei. His cultivation was too weak.

It would take at least a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator to threaten him.

Jiang Hao shook his head. He could only take one step at a time. Feng Wei looked somewhat surprised but soon realized that this person had only come here for wealth.

“I’ll explore around, and if I find anything, I’ll come back and inform you, Senior,” Feng Wei said.

Jiang Hao nodded and began mining.

Clang! Clang!

As the hoe collided with the rocks, blue bubbles kept appearing.

[Strength +1]

[Spirit Sword +1]

[Cultivation +1]

[Spirit +1]

The rate at which blue bubbles appeared was faster than before.

Jiang Hao was delighted to see this, but he didn’t get too smug. He left marks around the area to prevent any unexpected disaster.

Five days quickly pa.s.sed, but Jiang Hao never stopped mining. Each day brought him four to six blue bubbles, along with numerous white ones.

He could clearly sense the changes in his body. This place was truly a land of opportunity. In addition to mining, he also collected some ores.

As for Feng Wei, he returned three times within five days. It seemed like he was exploring but hadn’t found a way out yet.

Jiang Hao checked his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 34]

[Cultivation: Early Stage of the Return to Void Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart

Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Subst.i.tution (unique), Daily Appraisal,

[Lifeblood: 96/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 95/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Divine Abilities: 1/3 (Cannot be obtained)] [Golden Legend: 1/2 (Cannot be obtained)]

‘Another day of mining, and I’ll be able to advance.’

He needed to advance Immediately. Otnerwlse, mining turtner would be a waste.

As he was about to advance, Jiang Hao focused on mining faster.

The more he mined, the faster he became. Finally, in the late hours of the night, a blue bubble dropped.

[Cultivation +1]

At this point, Jiang Hao stopped. “It’s full.”

He sighed with relief and looked back. He saw that he had mined a considerable portion of the cave.

He wondered how long this vein would last, and he was unsure how many spirit stones he could get from the ores he had collected.

After a while, Jiang Hao returned to the vicinity of the formation.

He set up a simple formation around himself with his own defensive measures. Only then did he put his mind at ease and begin his advancement to the next stage..
