Wei Lie left.
Jiang Hao stood in place.
In just over a decade, he had surpassed Wei Lie.
The speed of his cultivation was simply inconceivable.
If it weren’t for Junior Brother Han, Jiang Hao wouldn’t have dared to advance this way. There would have been many eyes on him.
However, with Han Ming around, things were different.
Han Ming bore the brunt of most of the attention, and the remaining would be absorbed by the Blood Wish Path.
This way, Jiang Hao could relax.
Even if there were a few curious onlookers, there wouldn’t be anyone daring enough to act. The danger was minimal.
He then shifted his gaze to the entrance of the mine.
Lin Zhi stood in the prisoners’ area. While he helped supervise, he was also responsible for mining.
Jiang Hao approached the entrance.
At that moment, he saw Lin Zhi hard at work with his pickaxe.
Fortunately, his gaze was still sharp, unlike the numb look the other miners wore.
Spending too long mining here made people gradually numb. This was the fate of countless miners.
The Heavenly Note Sect’s mining site was relatively better. It at least allowed people to cultivate in peace. In other places, to exercise better control, they didn’t permit cultivation. Only a very few could cultivate independently.
After he entered the mine, Jiang Hao followed along without anyone noticing his presence.
It wasn’t until the miners started working and Lin Zhi was scolded a few times that he began mining in a corner.
Those who didn’t know might have mistaken him for an ordinary miner.
After observing for a while, Jiang Hao noticed that Lin Zhi’s movements were fast and efficient, and he looked calm.
He didn’t get angry or embarrassed when he was scolded.
However, his face looked dejected, as though something was on his mind.
Jiang Hao finally took out a pickaxe, approached Lin Zhi, and began mining beside him.
Clang!
As the pickaxe struck, Lin Zhi noticed someone beside him.
He turned to look and froze.
“Senior Brother!”
Jiang Hao continued to mine without looking up. “Do you know what kind of life I enjoy?”
“What?” Lin Zhi also started mining, but unlike Jiang Hao, he couldn’t focus.
“Mining is the life I once desired.” Jiang Hao gently smiled. Lin Zhi didn’t believe it. Nobody would willingly come to mine.
It was too monotonous, dirty, and chaotic here.
How could an immortal be willing to come here?
Jiang Hao paused, looked at Lin Zhi beside him, and said seriously, “Have you ever thought that the life you’re living now might be the dream of others?” Lin Zhi was stunned. He was completely frozen in place.
He had thought he was suffering. He believed his life was difficult.
He now realized that he was still alive and well. The spirit beast looked after him and a senior cared for him.
He even had two friends who occasionally sought him.
In a demonic sect, how many people were as fortunate as he was? After thinking for a long time, Lin Zhi finally said, “I… I understand now.”
Jiang Hao gazed at him for a while, then continued mining.
[Spirit +1] [Strength +1]
[Spirit Sword +1]
Watching the bubbles fall, he felt a sense of contentment.
However, blue bubbles were not easy to come by.
Perhaps one day, there wouldn’t be any bubbles anymore.
He would then have to seek rarer ores and approach some divine creatures.
‘I wonder if there’s any ore near the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.’ Jiang Hao suddenly thought.
He could consider it next time.
He could only intervene as long as the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl remained sealed. Once it was unsealed, he could only flee.
However, this matter wasn’t urgent. He had to wait for Hong Yuye. “Do you want to go back?” Jiang Hao asked while mining.
“A little.” Lin Zhi nodded.
Jiang Hao thought about it. Who would willingly stay at a mine at such a young age?
“Have you been neglecting your cultivation?” Jiang Hao asked.
“No. Not even a little,” said Lin Zhi.
Jiang Hao felt relieved. Some people couldn’t handle the pressure and would give up on themselves.
Lin Zhi had a promising future. If he were to give up on himself now, his future would become even more challenging.
Jiang Hao didn’t speak further but continued mining until afternoon.
Lin Zhi was somewhat surprised. Why wasn’t the senior resting with the other miners? If his senior didn’t rest, he couldn’t afford to rest either.
Jiang Hao mined until break time and spoke little throughout the day. Only when it was over did he follow Lin Zhi back to his dwelling.
Because of the spirit beast’s formidable reputation, Lin Zhi had been given a small room to himself. Other Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivators shared rooms with three or four people.
“Have you been practicing the Star-Moon Lifeblood Refinement Technique all this time?” Jiang Hao asked as he sat down.
The simple lodging was far from the accommodations found at the outer sect.
Many people believe this place was unfit for humans.
If they were sent here, everyone would assume they had made a mistake or offended someone. It was unheard of for anyone to come here for training. “Yes, I’ve been continuously practicing. I wouldn’t dare to slack off,” said Lin Zhi.
“Do you have any doubts?” Jiang Hao asked.
The Star-Moon Lifeblood Refinement Technique belonged to the Bright Moon Sect, and it contained certain complexities. Understanding it was not a given, especially since Lin Zhi had limited exposure to various techniques and very little experience.
There would be doubts.
As expected, Lin Zhi raised some issues. He experienced slight discomfort when practicing the Star-Moon Lifeblood Refinement Technique in different ways.
Jiang Hao spent half the night teaching Lin Zhi. He explained some parts and deliberately left others somewhat ambiguous to allow Lin Zhi to ponder on his own.
The Star-Moon Lifeblood Refinement Technique required delving into the stars and myriad things. It didn’t have a simple explanation. Overexplaining could cause one to lose their creativity.
Once Lin Zhi had a general understanding, Jiang Hao asked something tentatively..
