Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness-Chapter 771 - : The Attitude Of A Higher Cultivation Realm Cultivator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao was pulled away by someone. It was quite unexpected.

Ahead of him was a man who looked about thirty years old.

He looked quite composed, but his cultivation wasn’t very solid.

He was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, but his cultivation wasn’t as refined as the people from before.

To break through, it would require significant opportunities.

However, why would this person suddenly intervene and help him? At first, he thought this person was in cahoots with the others, so he hadn’t paid him much attention.

He had never expected this person to do the opposite and help him. At this moment, the three Golden Core Realm individuals broke through the net and chased after them.

The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated this early on. He pulled Jiang Hao into the woods and then hid in the shadows.

There were many formations in the woods. All were at the level of the Golden Core Realm.

Jiang Hao lowered his head to look. Although these formations were sturdy, his understanding might not be as good as that of an expert in formations. Breaking through them was quite simple.

As the three people entered the formations, they felt disoriented and ran away.

“You are asking for death!”

Watching the three leave, Jiang Hao knew they had fallen into an illusion.

Only then did the man beside him relax.

Jiang Hao politely said, “Thank you for helping me, friend.”

“It’s nothing. These three are from a demonic sect. They behave recklessly. They like to unite and target individuals who are alone.” The man, with a bit of stubble, looked quite reliable.

Jiang Hao nodded. He considered inviting this man to go to the mines with him.

“I am a disciple of the Western Waters and Mountains Valley Sect. My name is Dole,” said the man.

“Smiling San Sheng…” Jiang Hao smiled.

He never intended to use his real name because he could only attract Feng Hua’s attention in this way.

The other party might also go after Xiao Li, but Xiao Li’s Dragon Pearl should be able to negate the threat from someone at the Return to Void Realm. She was a True Dragon, after all.

She was safer here because of restrictions on cultivation.

“Your name is quite unique. Are you always smiling?” Dole asked jokingly.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “It means smiling through life.”

“I see…” The man looked at him apologetically. “Where do you plan to go, friend?”

“I want to find a mine. Do you want to join me?” Jiang Hao looked at him.

He didn’t understand why this person had decided to save him, but since he was only going to find a cave to mine, there was no harm in inviting him along. As long as he could help find a market to sell the ores, everything would be fine.

However, the Soul Ascension area was dangerous.

The only possibility was to take the route through Moon Lake to reach the Thousand Feet Mountain. The area was remote and not very accessible.

“Mining?” Dole was surprised. “Are you here to earn spirit stones?” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Understood. It’s a little dangerous for you since you don’t hide your cultivation,” said Dole. “I can help you sell the ores that you mine.”

“That’d be great. I’ll mine for ores. You sell them. We split the profits 50-50,” said Jiang Hao.

“No. You take 60%. I’ll take 40%. I heard that mining is very dangerous, so it’s only reasonable for you to have more,” said Dole politely.

Jiang Hao was surprised. Mining for ores wasn’t very difficult for him, so he agreed.

“Then, let’s go,” Jiang Hao said.

Immediately, the two flew off on their swords. On the way, Jiang Hao asked, “Why did you help me?”

“I just saw you in trouble, so I decided to help,” said Dole.

Jiang Hao nodded. freeweb novel.co m

The next day, he appraised Dole. He wanted to see who he actually was and what was his goal here.

He was surprised.

[Dole: Disciple of the Western Waters and Mountains Valley Sect. He is at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. He has only mediocre talent and is comparatively weaker when compared to others in the same realm. He likes to help out those lower in the cultivation realm. He enjoys the feeling of being relied upon and worries about being useless. He is extremely sensitive.]

Jiang Hao had thought this person wanted to use him for some gain. He never thought the person actually enjoyed helping those weaker than him.

He wasn’t very strong but wanted others to perceive him as such. It was extremely important for him to feel reliable and useful.

‘It’s no wonder he suggested a 60-40 split to show how generous he was…’

Jiang Hao glanced at him. He looked to be about thirty and seemed indifferent to things around him, yet his eyes were vigilant.

It must be tough to maintain such calmness after what happened.

Jiang Hao wanted to increase his cultivation to the Soul Ascension Realm. After all, in the Soul Ascension area, he would be able to mine in peace if his cultivation was high enough.

Otherwise, why transform into his current appearance?

But after hesitating for a moment, he gave up on the idea.

“Well then, I’ll have to rely on you, Friend Dole,” said Jiang Hao.

“Okay.” Dole smiled.

They weren’t slow, but it would still take some time to reach the Thousand Feet Mountain.

Jiang Hao sped up to push Dole to be a bit faster, too.

Seven days later, they arrived at the border of Moon Lake and could see a barren mountain ahead.

“This is the Thousand Feet Mountain?” Dole was shocked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “It is said that there are no cultivators nearby, so there’s no need to worry too much. And we’re near the Moon Lake. We can sell the ores here.”

“That makes sense.” Dole nodded.

Jiang Hao glanced at him and could tell from his face that Dole was worried, but he tried hard to appear calm.

Dry trees stood tall, and spiritual energy was scarce. There were no signs of demonic beasts.

Apart from safety, there seemed to be nothing else here.

Jiang Hao carefully sensed his surroundings to try to understand the place.

If it were just a regular barren land, it would be fine, but he feared there might be a special reason behind it.

It could attract trouble.

After a while, he discovered that something beneath the mountain seemed to emit an aura that dispersed some spiritual energy. freeweb novel.com

It wasn’t just a lack of spiritual energy here. The spiritual energy in one’s body would also gradually dissipate.

“This seems like a good place.”

Since this place was so barren, no one would come here at all.

But he wasn’t sure about what lay below. If someone knew about it, they might come looking for the place.

As he descended from the sky, Dole asked, “Friend, did you find anything? If you want to choose this place, I can set up formations that will allow you to mine in peace.”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

“I have a bit of talent for formations.” Dole chuckled.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Then, I’ll have to rely on you, friend.”

After that, Jiang Hao arrived in front of a mountain and used his cultivation to crack open an entrance.

As soon as he saw the ores, he started digging.

For now, everything was going smoothly.

In the Blood Tide Forest, Xiao Li tiptoed around and examined her surroundings.

Her face was covered in dust. She looked distressed.

The trees and flowers here were dangerous. They could steal people’s belongings.

It even stole her food.

She was furious. She uprooted the flowers and trees in the area as revenge.

Now, she had to search around for things to eat.

“This is so infuriating! If I see those trees and flowers again, I’ll uproot them all!” Xiao Li grumbled in frustration..
