Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1275: A New Item From The Bubble (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The passage was not that big. At most, three people could walk through together.

The deeper they went, the more spacious it became. Occasionally, they would encounter karst caves.

This place was extremely wide. It was thirty feet high and a hundred feet across.

However, there was nothing unusual here. Jiang Hao continued to head deeper.

As he sensed the surrounding atmosphere, the source of the aura became increasingly elusive.

“Something feels off here.” Bai Ye was the first to speak.

“Yes.” Duan Tiancheng nodded. “We’ve walked quite a distance, yet my perception of that aura hasn’t changed at all. Either it’s too far away or it’s actively keeping its distance from us.”

“So, the source of the aura is alive?” Lu Baiye frowned. Although he was in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he was the weakest among them.

Jiang Hao did not feel anything. The aura was not his main focus.

What caught his attention were the things intermittently appearing within the stone walls.

Those things were the real danger.

Perhaps the task at hand was related to those things.

The closer they got, the more active those things became.

Clearing them would require going deeper. It would also take a lot of time.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Jiang Hao looked ahead. “It’s from the karst cave up ahead.”

The remaining few became more vigilant.

Jiang Hao took the lead. When he entered the cave, he saw purple mineral veins around him.

“It’s a mineral vein.” Bai Ye looked at the ores. “The purple ores should be the Violet Meteorite that appeared recently. It’s an excellent material for forging, but it’s extremely rare. I didn’t expect to find it here.”

Duan Tiancheng approached the ore and tried to dig it out. But he could not dislodge it. “This is difficult. It will take a lot of time and effort to dig it out.”

Jiang Hao looked at the ore and noticed those things seemed to be hiding within it as well.

It might be worth digging to see.

“This ore seems suspicious. I’ll check it out. You all continue forward,” Jiang Hao said as he moved closer to the mineral vein to inspect it.

This scene left the others somewhat surprised.

Was he going to mine here? What about the mission?

They did not think mining would help with the mission.

Was he lacking spirit stones?

Duan Tiancheng hesitated. He wanted to say something.

However, Bai Ye said, “Alright. We’ll continue on, Junior Brother.”

Since Bai Ye had already spoken, Duan Tiancheng did not know how to dissuade him.

But it was fine.

Without Jiang Hao as their leader, they could make their own decisions.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when they left.

He wondered if the purple ores could give him bubbles.

In the next ten years, he needed to advance at least twice and then head overseas to retrieve the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

For True Immortals, strength was not the primary criterion for advancement.

The Dao became paramount. He had just become a True Immortal and had not yet felt the presence of the Dao.

One could become a Heavenly Immortal only by glimpsing the Great Dao.

As a True Immortal, one had to search for the Great Dao. The closer one got, the more Dao aura one would have.

Currently, he had yet to officially come into contact with the Dao. Without seeing the aura of the Dao, he would not be able to reach the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

Even if his cultivation points were full, he might not be able to advance.

So, it was too difficult for him to advance twice in ten years.

To advance from the Immortal Human Realm to the True Immortal Realm, one only needed to temper their immortal body.

In other words, one could easily become a True Immortal after becoming an Immortal Human. However, if one was unable to approach the Dao, no matter how outstanding one’s cultivation was, they would remain at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm for the rest of their lives.

“If only the bubbles could provide insight into the Dao.”

With a sigh, Jiang Hao took out a pickaxe and started mining.

Clang!

A piece of ore fell to the ground.

A green bubble dropped.

It was his first green bubble since becoming a True Immortal.

[Basic Immortal Sword +1]

‘Basic immortal sword?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

What kind of treasure was this?

Was it valuable?

Jiang Hao took out the basic immortal sword. The sword was three feet long. The blade gleamed with an immortal aura. It was extremely sharp.

He moved it lightly. The material was ordinary, but the hardness was impressive.

It was not inferior to an Immortal-level magic treasure.

However, he could not activate the spiritual energy. He needed immortal energy to do that.

Jiang Hao sighed.

It could not be used before becoming an immortal, and it was not useful even after becoming an immortal.

A common spirit sword could at least be used by newly cultivating disciples.

But an immortal sword? How could it be given to a newly made immortal?

Immortals were not as plentiful as ordinary cultivators.

Besides, existing treasures could still be used. Any Immortal Realm magic treasure would be better than this immortal sword.

“I wonder if it’s sellable.”

Jiang Hao sighed and continued to mine.

Clang!

After a while, the white bubble fell.

[Strength +1]

“Strength again?”

Jiang Hao was slightly disappointed. Strength did not benefit him much.

With his rapid cultivation progress, if he could not collect such things daily, he would fall behind.

However…

“It feels more substantial than before. Is the quantity heavier now? It’s a pity that I’m not a physique cultivator.”

Others might seek the Dao through strength, but he did not need to.

If he truly could not comprehend the Dao, he would consider it then.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking and continued mining.

Time passed quickly and several bubbles dropped.

[Basic Immortal Spear +1]

[Spirit +1]

[Basic Immortal Dagger +1]

[Cultivation +1]

A blue bubble also appeared.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. Was this purple ore vein really very amazing?

After half a day, another blue bubble appeared.

While Jiang Hao was marveling at it, something emerged from the mineral vein and rushed toward him.

“Roar!”

A purple, crawling demonic beast charged at him.

Jiang Hao waved his pickaxe and pierced through the skull of the demonic beast.

The sword’s intent swept through the demonic beast’s body.
