Alright, Ill follow your lead, Friend Dole, said Jiang Hao with a nod.

Thank you, Dole. Guan Zhongfei pretended to be grateful.

Dole began planting spirit herbs, while Jiang Hao entered the mine to start digging.

Guan Zhongfei sat in a corner and rested. He felt confused.

However, he knew that he couldnt do anything but comply.

After surviving that encounter, he didnt want to risk anything.

He was just a little puzzled why such a powerful cultivator pretended to be in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Perhaps he wanted someone to help him with the tasks.

Jiang Hao didnt waste any time and began mining inside the cave.

He dug as much as he could in a day.

Half a month later, Jiang Hao finally emerged from the mine.

He realized something was off here.

Mining at night was difficult, but during the day, it was easier.

Moreover, the spiritual energy was continuously dissipating.

If he wasnt inherently strong, mining would be extremely challenging.

Even after half a month, his harvest wasnt insignificant.

He had only gained around eight blue bubbles.

It was much better than from the flower back at his place, but still, advancing would take more than a year.

Mining alone wasnt enough.

He needed to go to the Heavenly Stele Mountain.

Senior Brother Dole, youre really amazing. Ive been studying this formation for a long time but couldnt figure it out, said Guan Zhongfei admiringly as he held something in his hand.

It was something he had obtained a long time ago. He couldnt unlock it, even with improved cultivation. He worried that the contents might be damaged.

Finally, his wish was fulfilled.

There should be a hidden compartment somewhere, Dole said kindly.

At that moment, Guan Zhongfei discovered that there was indeed a hidden compartment, and it held a letter.

He was stunned. He opened the letter and read it aloud. After a while, he looked forlorn.

Jiang Hao noticed a red flower symbol on the back of the envelope.

Presumably, this letter was sent by a woman.

Friend San Sheng, said Dole as he pointed to the spirit herbs he had planted, these are the spirit herbs found in the vicinity. They have some effect. They can be sold together with the ores later.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, There might be a need for Friend Guans help in the future, so Im thinking of giving him a share of the profit. Ill take 20% of the profit and give him 20% of my total share.

Jiang Hao shook his head. No. I can take 40%, and you can have 30% each.

Jiang Hao brought out a lot of ores. You can try selling these too.

Dole was quite surprised when he looked at the ores. He had also mined before and knew it wasnt easy.

Once the ores were stored away, Jiang Hao and the others set off for Heavenly Stele Mountain.

In seven days, the Heavenly Stele Mountain was expected to appear. It was supposed to be exactly one month later.

In the Blood Tide Forest, a monster howled in agony in a corner.

Some cultivators were hiding in the shadows.

For the past month, this entire forest had been chaotic.

What exactly happened? Have any of you tried to find out? asked a woman as she hid behind a huge rock.

There were three others beside her.

The four of them had joined hands in seeking opportunities. In the beginning, everything was fine. Later, they sensed some disturbance in the forest. Some monsters were fleeing.

The number of monsters was substantial, so it made them reluctant to face them head-on.

There was also a rampant insect infestation.

It seems that theres a decrease in man-eating flowers and trees, and it has caused an imbalance in the ecosystem, said a man. Its said that a cultivator with exceptional talent obtained some opportunity and is now ruling over the entire forest. Perhaps some Golden Core Realm cultivators might come to resolve the issue. When that happens, the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator will be in trouble..
