After that, it was taken away by a supervisor.

He told the others to keep quiet.

“Senior Brother, if we hand this over, will we get a lot of rewards?”

“Yes, but others might take it away,” said the supervisor.

“Then, why didn’t Senior Brother go past the others and send it to the building where the treasures are kept?”

“You can send it directly to the fourth floor.”

The supervisor frowned. “This might offend the three people who are in charge of identifying treasures, especially the ones on the second and third floor.”

“This is an urgent matter. The newcomer on the second floor can’t identify treasures properly at all. The third floor only respects those on the fourth floor.”

“If it really doesn’t work, just say that the treasure is too important to show just anyone, so we’ve been keeping it for seniors on the fourth floor. Tell them we are waiting for the seniors to identify them.”

“Senior Brother, if this was a top-grade treasure, it would have been quite something.”

“I’m not greedy. Aren’t there a few pretty girls in the Spirit Herb Garden?”

“Senior Brother, if you know someone there, do tell me.”

The supervisor thought for a moment. “Alright. You’ve been there too many times. It’s best to lie low right now.”

“No more than two people this time. If too many people die, there will be consequences. Moreover, your method is too cruel.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother. I will definitely be careful this time.”

Then, he took the Longevity Wood and headed out.

The Junior Brother just watched. When the supervisor’s figure disappeared, the junior transformed into Jiang Hao.

“Alright. Time for the next step…” Jiang Hao said calmly.

The leader was a middle-aged man who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

When he took the Longevity Wood away, he felt his cultivation fluctuate.

That was definitely something good.

However, he was not strong enough, so he did not dare to take it for himself.

He knew the Senior Brother who was posted on the fourth floor.

He still had a hope of advancing to the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a risk.

He would not dare provoke strong people.

When he found the Senior Brother on the fourth floor, he took out the Longevity Wood. The other party was surprised by the aura. This was definitely an important treasure.

At that moment, someone from the third floor walked up to the fourth floor.

When he saw the Longevity Wood, he frowned.

“Junior Sister, if you have anything to say, you can come in and talk,” said the man on the fourth floor.

He did not expect her to come here.

The junior on the third floor shook her head.

The man on the fourth floor frowned. ‘Is she disrespecting me openly?’

The woman from the third floor said immediately, “Apologies, Senior Brother. It’s nothing serious. Senior brother Bai Yi said that the mine has sent over a treasure.”

The man on the fourth floor was stunned. The leader of the mine was also frightened.

‘Bai Yi…’

He was the one managing the mine. It was over!

“Treasures from the mine?” asked a calm voice.

At that moment, two people walked up the stairs.

It was Bai Yi and Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was just accompanying him.

Although he had heard that someone had sent up a treasure, he did not pay much attention to it.

“Yes.” The senior on the fourth floor immediately lowered his head respectfully. “Yes, it is indeed a treasure from the mine.”

“Then, why is it sent to the fourth floor? Have you had a chance to identify it, Junior Brother Jiang?” Bai Yi asked and turned to Jiang Hao.

At that moment, the senior on the fourth floor looked nervous.

He was Wan Chengfeng, Successive Disciple of the Flowing Waterfall and at the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Although he was a legacy disciple, he was miles away from reaching Bai Yi’s status.

It would be bad if he offended the other party because of this matter.

Bai Yi was a protective person, but he did not speak much.

He had offended the other party with his actions, so it was time for him to apologize and leave.

He hated the person who had brought such a treasure here.

Just as he was still thinking about what to do, Jiang Hao said, “Actually, I did get a chance to look into it.”

Wan Chengfeng and the woman from the third floor were both shocked.

“Is that so? What happened after?” Bai Yi was surprised. “Did you find anything?”

The woman on the third floor was stressed. She would be dragged into this no matter what.

She only took a glance at the wooden block. She knew that it was extraordinary, but she did not know what it was.

If she did not say anything, would that affect her badly?

Jiang Hao said, “It is the Longevity Wood… The legendary branch of the Longevity Tree. It nourishes the soul.”

“Longevity Wood?” Bai Yi was surprised.

The others were also surprised.

What kind of treasure was this?

“Junior Sister Xia, do you also think it’s the Longevity Wood?” Bai Yi turned to look at the woman from the third floor.

The latter braced herself and said, “The Longevity Wood is quite special. I’m not sure…”

Then, Bai Yi looked at Wan Chengfeng again.

“I feel the same as Junior Sister Xia,” Wan Chengfeng said immediately.

“Alright. Check it first and make a note of it,” Bai Yi said casually.

He then left with Jiang Hao.

The other two were still anxious.

Junior Sister Xia was furious as she turned to look at Wan Chengfeng.

He did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly said, “There will definitely be a reward later.”

Only then did Junior Sister Xia leave.

After seeing Senior Brother Bai Yi off, Jiang Hao returned to his house.

This time, he felt much safer.

The other two people would not target him anymore.

These two people would gladly cover for him after what happened.

As for Senior Brother Bai Yi, he was called over by the senior on the third floor.

Jiang Hao had made use of some tactics.

He had appraised Bai Yi and found out that he was looking for a rare treasure.

Then, he pretended to be a passerby in the building and gossiped about the treasure, which Senior Sister Xia had happened to overhear.

In a corner, he had pretended to set up a stall to sell it.

The other party was surprised and tried to buy it back.

Before sending it to the upper floor, it had to be checked to see whether it was real or fake. Once they did, they would need the power of a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator to verify it.

Since the other party was unable to take it away, she called for Senior Brother Bai Yi.

At the same time, when the Longevity Wood was taken out, Jiang Hao strengthened the wood’s aura, which became very noticeable.

Everything that happened later was sheer luck.

He had imagined that Senior Brother Bai Yi would come to him to verify the situation of the Longevity Wood.

Who would have thought that Senior Brother Bai Yi would call for him as soon as he arrived and then go up to the fourth floor?

Fortunately, everything went according to his plan.

After that, the senior on the fourth floor had to play his tune.

The senior on the third floor had to play along as well.

Therefore, the senior on the fourth floor was indebted and would send gifts to the senior on the third floor and Jiang Hao to express his gratitude.

He had also carefully decided which mine supervisor to use.

That evening, someone knocked on his door. It was Wan Chengfeng.

“Thank you for helping me out before, Junior Brother,” he said.

“What do you mean, Senior Brother?” Jiang Hao pretended to be confused.

The latter smiled. “Nothing. I prepared some things for you to get used to this place easily.”

He gave Jiang Hao a pill that was worth three thousand spirit stones.

Jiang Hao gladly accepted it.

After that, everything went smoothly. No one was staring at him or targeting him anymore.

Since the senior on the fourth floor had accepted him, the senior on the third floor would not do otherwise.

Besides, Jiang Hao had shown that he could be useful.

Another month passed.

Around early March, Jiang Hao entered the mines.

He had handled everything and could dig for ores in peace now.

Jiang Hao was quite excited when he entered the mine and held his pickaxe.

After so many years, he could finally dig for ores again.

This trip to the mine was quite an opportunity for him.

However, he did not know how far he could advance.

Clang!

Jiang Hao started digging.

After a long time, a green bubble fell.

[Spirit Sword +1]

After half a day, he found a blue bubble.

[Cultivation +1]

After that, there were some white bubbles.

[Strength +1]

After that, there were white bubbles constantly until the second blue bubble appeared around the evening.

[Lifeblood +1]

When he returned in the evening, there were some treasures on the table. He began to wipe them clean and identify them.

[Spirit +1]

[Spirit Sword +1]

It was a pity that there were no more blue bubbles.

When it was close to midnight, he returned to the courtyard and watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Then, he went to the Spirit Herb Garden to take care of the high-grade spirit herb seeds.

After that, he returned to the mine and placed the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.

Day after day, it formed a perfect seal.
