“From twenty-three to twenty-four?”

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the feedback from the appraisal.

Although it consumed a lot of merit, the increase in cultivation could make up for the consumption.

However, the merit was not enough to support him to become an immortal.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were his only hope.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Hao chose to use the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron to temper his body instead of using his lifeblood to refine his cultivation.

Although it was not completely refined, it was close.

Moreover, it did not consume much merit.

As long as he accumulated another hundred points, he would be able to advance again.

At that time, he might have 25 years left.

That was enough for him.

As long as he could advance once a year, he could maintain the time limit of twenty-four years.

He could not be sure if the Mountain Sea Seal would become strong as he advanced.

But there still was a concern that he might not be able to accumulate bubbles.

The spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden had sprouted, so there was no need to go to the Spirit Herb Garden for a while.

He only needed to dig for ores, wipe the treasures clean, and water the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

It could free up a lot of time for him.

That afternoon, he went out.

He wanted to greet the seniors on the upper floors, but he saw that some treasures were placed outside the door with dirt still on them.

That was what he had requested. He wanted to clean them. He was surprised to see so many treasures.

There had not been so many treasures in the previous month.

The seniors on the third and fourth floors were in no hurry to identify the treasures and set them aside.

Jiang Hao did not go to the upper floors. Instead, he planned to finish identifying these treasures before leaving.

He sat down and started cleaning them.

The treasures were of all sorts. He found some swords and some ores among them.

Anything special would be sent to the upper floors.

Although most of them were useless trash, they still needed to be identified.

If they missed any, it would be a loss.

Without further ado, Jiang Hao arranged everything neatly.

There were a total of fifty-six pieces of treasure.

He began to wipe them one by one.

He was very serious about cleaning everything properly.

After he was done cleaning them, he examined them closely.

After that, he wrote up the information and marked it neatly to make it easy for the others on the upper floors.

“Strangely shaped stone of average hardness, no spiritual energy, no patterns, and no aura of power. I suspect it’s just an ordinary stone.”

Jiang Hao looked at them one by one.

Then, he marked them.

Occasionally, he obtained some bubbles, but most of them were white.

Jiang Hao picked up the last item. It was a small cauldron.

He wiped it and a blue fell.

[Cultivation +1]

Jiang Hao was surprised. He continued wiping it, but there was nothing else.

This seemed like a pretty good treasure.

After writing down the information, he decided to send the treasures to the upper floors.

Just as he reached the door, he saw that there were people outside with their arms full of magical things.

Jiang Hao frowned.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.” Two young men bowed to him respectfully.

Jiang Hao asked, “How did you find so many treasures?”

“There have been a lot of discoveries lately. Some teams dug up interesting items in the mine,” said the disciple with a pale face.

“In these two days?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes.”

Jiang Hao nodded and did not ask anything further.

After that, he went upstairs and told the senior that he was done with identifying the treasures.

After that, they talked a bit.

After giving her two talismans, Jiang Hao returned to his residence.

He decided to dig for more ores at the mine the next day.

The next day, Jiang Hao arrived at the mine and found a mining team to follow.

As soon as he arrived, he saw some unfamiliar faces.

One of the men with disheveled hair looked like he was only in the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, but his aura was vast. The spiritual energy fluctuation was a testament that this person was extraordinary.

He might be an immortal. Perhaps even in the second stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

This discovery shocked him.

Why would such a person appear in the mine?

“Greetings, Senior Brother,” said a woman respectfully.

She had been working in the mine for a long time. One of her arms was broken. She wanted to get treatment for it but did not have enough spirit stones. That was the reason she worked in the mine.

Once she had enough spirit stones, she wanted to ask for help from the seniors.

Her job was to lead the mining team.

Jiang Hao nodded at her. “Are there many people here today?”

“Yeah. The sect has caught quite several Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivators. Some of them were assigned to me,” she said.

Jiang Hao did not ask anything further.

Someone had just recently told him the same thing. He had thought it had nothing to do with him.

However, he could sense that something was strange.

These Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivators had very powerful auras. He never thought such powerful people would disguise themselves and sneak into the mine.

He did not hesitate to appraise one of the men.

[Wei Yanhua: One of the top 3,000 members of the Great Thousand God Sect. He is at the second stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform. He hid his spirit in the body puppet of a Lifeblood Refinement Realm to infiltrate the team captured by the Heavenly Note Sect. He did this to enter the mine. He wants to find the ancient battlefield and obtain the boundless aura within. At the same time, using death aura and malevolent aura, he intends to summon a wisp of divine consciousness from the core member of The End of All Things. Before the consciousness appears, it would create a mist of death aura to isolate the five senses and shield the secrets of heaven. It is an important part of his plan. At that time, he will begin the first step of creating immortals. He will endure until the plan succeeds and leaves no room for accidents. He is overly cautious to make sure he can complete his plan.]

‘Someone from the Great Thousand God Sect?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

He had thought that the surrounding sects wanted the mine’s treasure, but he did not expect that the Great Thousand God Sect was after the location of the ancient battlefield.

They needed a death aura from it.

They needed it for two things: to create immortals and for the core member of The End of All Things.

‘Is he alone?’ Jiang Hao thought to himself.

Creating immortals was plausible, but bringing back the core member of The End of All Things would be devastating.

That would cause too many problems. Jiang Hao would try to stop him if he could.

However, it seemed strange for the Great Thousand God Sect to send just one person.

The matter with the core member of The End of All Things made him feel anxious.

He could not ignore this.

He had to do something. But he did not know how to scare away this person.

‘First, I need to see how many people from the Great Thousand God Sect have come here.’

Jiang Hao decided to do that first. This could not be rushed.

He had to be calm. If he rushed in impatience, it would be disastrous.

At that time, it would be too late for regrets.
