THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
55. Devouring Him Whole
Jiang Hao did not know what others thought of him, and he did not care. That didn't stop him from digging. Instead, it made him even more persistent. He did not stop, except when the stones fell, and he had to get away.
As the sky grew darker outside, Jiang Hao put away his hoe and looked around the mine pit.
Progress today was good. The workers breathed a sigh of relief. At least now, they could hope to get a filling meal.
The people in the mine also wanted to make their name famous. With such a high level of cultivation as Wu Jing, it was easy for them to move up the ranks to become supervisors. They could even become inner sect disciples if they worked diligently and had no criminal record.
As for the prisoners…
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they would be thrown again into the Lawless Tower and would be escorted to the mine to work. However, despite the tight security, there were always some people who managed to escape.
Jiang Hao glanced at Situ Jian and the others. Right now, Shangguan Wen who seemed to be so easily forgotten, suddenly turned his head towards him.
Jiang Hao was surprised, but he did not avoid his gaze. He simply stared back at Shangguan Wen until the man turned around.
Jiang Hao felt an urgency to increase his cultivation level.
After a day of mining, he obtained a total of nine Cultivation bubbles and eight Life Blood bubbles. Mostly, white and green bubbles.
Even if it's a little, it's better than nothing. In fact, even the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower did not produce this many bubbles.
After the last time, the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower had only produced two bubbles every three days, and it was not much. [Blood of Life: 71/100 (can be processed)]
[Cultivation: 74/100 (can be cultivated)]
'If everything goes smoothly, I can progress quickly within four days!' Jiang Hao hoped that there would be no problems in these four days.
When they all left the mine that day, Yan Hua approached Jiang Hao with a smile. “I heard you were busy digging, Young Brother Jiang.”
“Yeah.. I don't have any other job, so I'm just helping. I want to repay your kindness, Senior Brother.
It seemed that no one liked Wei Lei around this area, but if Jiang Hao had a choice, he would choose Wei Lei over Yan Hua every day. At least Wei Lei did not want to kill him.
Yan Hua was different. Perhaps he was waiting for Situ Jian and the others to cause trouble, so that he could find an opening to attack.
However, he had benefited from a recent mining job.
“Then, Young Brother Jiang, I will count on you to do what you can,” Yan Hua said. “Will you escort people to the 6th open pit and keep an eye on them tomorrow as well?”
“Of course,” said Jiang Hao.
They spoke for a while, and Jiang Hao was quiet.
He has to be extra careful. As he walked away, he felt eyes staring at his back from a distance. That makes him uncomfortable. It felt like he was going to devour it whole.
He breathed and walked away. The Law Enforcement Hall doesn't care about the mines. As long as the people worked and brought the ore, it was enough for them.
On the way, he saw some people coming out and was about to patrol. Their cultivation level is very high.
The next day, Jiang Hao continued mining. He was even more diligent that day. Others are curious about him. They were wondering how long this inner sect disciple would last.
Jiang Hao had assessed Situ Jian and found something important.
[Situ Jian: Successive disciples of the Blackheaven Sect. In the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm. An extraordinary talent. He used the Heavenly Thief Dharma treasure to divert Lawless' absorption and seal his cultivation with the Spirit Binding Amulet before hiding in the mines of the Heavenly Note Sect. The two talismans found were actually his. He was intending to blow up the mine and damage the Heavenly Note Sect. While mining, he left behind some untraceable runes. He's curious about you.]
His assessment results were surprising. He intended for Jiang Hao to find the talisman! He wondered why Jing Ru agreed to be part of Situ Jian's plan. Isn't he scared? Is there anyone else helping them?
Jiang Hao had many questions on his mind. However, he would have to wait until tomorrow to use his Daily Valuation ability.
As for the runes left behind by Situ Jian, Jiang Hao would investigate the area. If anything went wrong, he would report it immediately.
Jiang Hao dug with all his might. He did not care much to hide his strength this time because he needed to increase his cultivation as soon as possible before these captives attacked him.
Many bubbles appear. Most are white, green, and blue.
[Strength +1]
[Strength +1] [Cultivation +1] [Blood of Life +1] [Spirit +1]
[Blood Pill Life +1]
His strength and spirit increased little by little. Jiang Hao focused on becoming stronger. If he were to mine here for a hundred years, he would definitely be the strongest.
By the end of the day, Jiang Hao had obtained a total of 20 blue bubbles, in addition to the white and green bubbles.
Out of 20 blue bubbles, 10 for Cultivation and 10 for Life Blood.
'Jiang Hao said to himself.
When it was time to leave, Jiang Hao inspected the courtyard of the mine. He didn't find anything. 'Where did Situ Jian hide those runes?'
He was also in the Golden Core Realm and had read the nameless manual to detect the energy fluctuations. However, he could not feel anything here.
He couldn't tell anyone about this, so he pretended as if everything was fine.
Progress today is at least 20% better than yesterday. The others are happy too. They'll definitely get better food tonight.
The next day, Jiang Hao assessed Jing Ru..
