Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 690 - 690: It Seems Like We ‘re About to Find Something Special

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feng Wei looked around for a long time and walked through several tunnels.

He discovered a hopeless fact: there was no way out.

It was as if this place was sealed, with no way in or out.

The only exit was the teleportation formation.

But going back would mean death.

He had disappeared for so many days. Once caught, he would surely endure unimaginable torment.

With his current physical health, he couldn’t bear it.

He still had hope. He had hope in the person he had come here with.

For the first time, he felt that working with someone could also be enjoyable.

The person wouldn’t kill him or use him.

At first, he had prepared to be murdered, but this person did nothing except mine.

Even if the ores here were exceptional, he would find a way to take them out. Otherwise, it was useless.

Upon careful consideration, he understood that the person could get out of here unlike him.

When he returned to the formation, Feng Wei sensed a presence.

He saw that the person was sitting cross-legged and was enveloped by power.

There were signs of a breakthrough.

‘Is this… an advancement?’

‘Is he going to advance to the Golden Core Realm?’

But it didn’t seem like it.

His cultivation realm was low, and he couldn’t discern the realm of the person in front of him, but it seemed much stronger than the Golden Core Realm. After hesitating for some time, Feng Wei sat down and guarded one of the tunnel entrances to prove his goodwill.

The next day, at noon, Jiang Hao suppressed the energy in his body and opened his eyes.

He looked around and saw Feng Wei sitting in meditation in the distance.

There was no one else nearby.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

In the past, after an advancement, he could usually see Hong Yuye. This time, her not being there surprised him.

With Hong Yuye around, he couldn’t mine.

The white bubbles could affect his body and make him easily noticeable. So, having someone like that around was sometimes troublesome.

“Congratulations, Senior,” said Feng Wei.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Did you not find an exit, Friend?”

“No,” Feng Wei said with a bitter smile. “It seems this way is sealed, and it’s not easy to find a way out. There may be an exit, but with my current strength, I’m not capable of finding it.”

Jiang Hao understood. Sometimes, the door was right there, but if your level was not high enough, you couldn’t perceive it.

“Are you planning to go back then?” he asked.

Feng Wei shook his head. “I want to try again. How about you, Senior? Are you going back?”

“In a while,” Jiang Hao said.

He would have to return. If he was discovered, he would go back to his sect.

If not, he would consider himself trapped here.

With that in mind, he turned to the formation.

He could destroy it, and no one would be able to come in here. However, this was still the Xuanyuan Clan’s formation. If he destroyed it, it might create issues. It wasn’t worth it.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao closed his eyes and began refining his cultivation.

He extracted all his cultivation and lifeblood.

As for other things, he was in no hurry for now.

In the evening, Jiang Hao had finished refining his cultivation. He was at the peak now.

‘Now, I wonder if there is a gap between my strength and the sect’s top disciple… I haven’t seen the top disciple yet, so I don’t know their cultivation realm.’

After some thought, Jiang Hao decided to continue mining. This time, Feng Wei followed him, which made him cautious.

“Let’s mine together,” Feng Wei said.

Jiang Hao looked at him.

After some hesitation, he asked, ‘What cultivation technique are you practicing?”

Feng Wei was momentarily stunned. “The Hundred Transformations of Spirit Control.”

“Can you show it to me?” Jiang Hao asked.

After a slight hesitation, Feng Wei handed over a book.

Jiang Hao sat down and activated his Clear and Pure Heart ability.

It took him about a night to study the technique with his current knowledge and the boost from his divine ability. He then said to Feng Wei, “Practice it. I will teach you.”

After half a day of explanation, Feng Wei finally had a sudden realization and fell into deep meditation.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He then started mining.

They were too far away, and he had used the Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman. When it expired, he would go near the formation to mine.

This time, he struck a rich vein. He kept mining until early September.

With Feng Wei’s significant increase in cultivation, he had no more interest in mining.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovelEnglish.net

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out, and Jiang Hao found that the wall in front of him was unusually hard.

He touched the stone and found that it was also an ore but much harder than the ones outside.

‘Could this be an even rarer type of ore?

He decided to mine the surrounding area first. If it caused trouble, and he had to leave, it would be a loss not to have mined the ore nearby. He had only just started mining when he felt the stone tablet vibrating.

There was a gathering tonight.

‘I need to think about what happened in the last gathering and prepare.’

When he was mining, he had put his things aside. But he needed to find his notebooks again. Hong Yuye wasn’t here yet, but it was only a matter of time.

Becoming stronger was essential, but staying alive was more important.

There were some powerful individuals that he couldn’t afford to provoke.

He put away his tools, took out a notebook, and began reviewing the information from the previous gathering.

He also needed to see what had happened recently and whether he could gather more information from the gathering.

Coincidentally, he could also check what had been happening in the South.

Gui must be keeping an eye on it.

“Was he caught?”

In the Blackheaven Sect, Bi Zhu appeared surprised.

“Yes, this time we went for him too. After getting the news, we rushed over, only to find some ruins. After asking around, we learned that Yin Zichen had been caught. We don’t have clear information about who did it. It might be some relatively powerful sect in the South. We plan to visit them one by one. Yin Zichen has taken some things from our sect, and we need him to return them. As for his personal wellbeing, we don’t care,” said a middle-aged man.

Bi Zhu nodded and then handed over a pill. “Take this, it can heal the injuries on your body. By the way, if you know where Yin Zichen is, can you inform me? The Heavenly Spirit Tribe also has grievances with him, and we want to find him.”

“Alright.” The middle-aged man took the pill.

After the man left, Bi Zhu sighed. “This is troublesome. I thought we were about to find him, but now it seems that someone else is involved. I don’t know where to look. If it’s some small sect, it’s fine, but I’m afraid of being caught by major sects.”

Yin Zichen was not weak. Ordinary sects wouldn’t be able to catch him.

“How did you figure that out, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked.

“He was injured. I happened to be there and offered to heal him. That’s how I know,” said Bi Zhu. “Not everything requires scheming and deceit… Sometimes, when we are honest and sincere, we can’t help each other out. If it wasn’t something important, nobody would look for it. We can’t ask about what he might have taken from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.”

What Qiao Yi wanted to know was how the princess had figured it out.

Suddenly, Bi Zhu seemed to sense something and smiled. “It’s alright. There may still be more information. For now, let’s pay attention to the Grand Earth Emperor’s affairs. We’ve already come this far..”
