Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1316: Thirty To Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones, At Most (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the vast snowy expanse, the storm whipped snowflakes into a blinding flurry.

At this moment, a multitude of rotting corpses were suspended in the air on the snow-covered mountain.

There was a rune on each of their bodies, and a black-and-yellow aura surrounded them.

It was destroying their Dao energy, immortal energy, spiritual energy, and even their lifeforce.

The evil cultivators and the others who felt that they were about to die all glared sideways at the center of the snow mountain.

A scholarly man stood there. He approached the halberd with an extraordinary aura.

It was a supreme divine artifact.

It could not be touched by just anyone. One slip, and they would disintegrate.

Thus, they all anticipated that the man would grasp the halberd and join them in death.

Jiang Hao naturally intended to fulfill their expectations.

He reached out to grasp the halberd.

Yan Yuezhi, observing from the shadows, was somewhat concerned. This man was incredibly powerful, yet seeing him approach the halberd, she knew he could not rival its brilliance.

If he stretched out his hand, danger would befall him.

She could even sense the terrifying power within the halberd.

However, she was unable to warn him. She could only watch helplessly as the person reached out and grabbed the halberd.

At that moment, she felt an unprecedented surge of power.

Its source was the ancient halberd.

A vast power was awakening bit by bit, and it was about to cover the world.

The power was surging toward the person holding the halberd.

Was this man truly so arrogant?

Yan Yuezhi found it hard to believe.

Meanwhile, the evil cultivators laughed heartily. “Die with us.”

“On the road to the afterlife, we will at least have some company.”

The Heavenly Halberd burst forth with intense light as its power surged toward Jiang Hao.

Just when the evil cultivator thought that this person was dead for sure, the huge force suddenly lost its ferocity and gently surrounded Jiang Hao.

Clang!

With a slight exertion of force, Jiang Hao drew out the halberd.

The surge of power turned into endless joy as if it had waited for this day to come for years.

After being dormant for so long, its power spread.

They surged into the Nine Heavens.

It wanted to inform the entire western region know that Gu Jin had returned.

Jiang Hao could clearly sense the joy of the halberd. Gu Jin was right.

With his name, he could completely control this halberd.

When he held the halberd, the evil cultivators were stunned on the spot. They could not believe it.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao had no intention of keeping them around.

He waved the halberd and stood tall. He then invoked the Black-Yellow Curse.

In everyone’s eyes, heaven and earth lost their color. They split into two aspects. One black and another yellow.

The two then intertwined and merged and annihilated everything.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze swept over the snow mountain, and the original evil cultivators and corpses vanished without a trace.

Only Jiang Hao remained standing atop the snow mountain.

Satisfied, he then put away the halberd.

He also deactivated the Heavenly Cauldron and the Yin-Yang Bracelet.

He glanced down at the mountain peak and ignored the onlookers.

There was a power of ancient times there. It was probably some opportunity that had been left behind.

Since someone had acquired it, he would not interfere.

The immediate priority was to find the scattered spirit stones.

The halberd was located at an altar. There were countless runes around it and a platform at the front.

He took a look at it and found a storage treasure.

“Is this it?”

Jiang Hao walked to the altar and sensed the ancient power.

These powers did not reject Jiang Hao, and he successfully obtained the storage treasure.

There were no issues with the imprints inside.

He could check it at will.

“I wonder how many spirit stones there are… Thirty to fifty thousand, at most. Anything less would be too stingy.”

After all, the Red Dragon was not a beggar. He would not be interested in anything less than thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones.

With that in mind, Jiang Hao checked the storage treasure.

Yet, for some reason, he stood there, stunned.

It was only when the snow had covered his shoulders that he touched the storage treasure.

He looked around and carefully put it away after making sure that there was no one around.

He looked calm, but the trembling of his hands was enough to show that he was far from calm.

Sixteen million spirit stones.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath to calm himself.

Sixteen million in total.

He had never seen so many spirit stones in his life.

Gu Jin had said there were some spirit stones that were scattered here.

Jiang Hao did not know how he left the snowy mountain.

He was in a daze as he walked away.

Sixteen million spirit stones were just scraps for him. What kind of cultivation realm would someone had to reach to say such things?

Walking down the road, Jiang Hao thought about it.

Gu Jin was not able to leave his prison, and Jiang Hao was the only one who knew about the spirit stones.

It would be okay if there were fifteen million instead of sixteen.

Who would give someone sixteen million spirit stones anyway?

Usually, giving someone five hundred thousand, one million, one and a half million, or two million, at most.

Even that was a lot.

Jiang Hao thought for a long time and sighed heavily.

Life was full of temptations.

It was difficult to avoid temptation even after becoming an immortal.

He had thought he was just bringing a few thousand, at most tens of thousands of spirit stones to the Red Dragon.

That would be enough.

Who would have thought it would be sixteen million?

Sixteen million!

Even if he added up all the spirit stones he had earned in his lifetime, he would not be able to earn that much.

Gu Jin was giving it away just like that.

“Well… at least it would be reasonable to ask for his blood this way.”

Since he needed the dragon’s blood, he would have to rely on the Red Dragon.

Hopefully, he still had a lot of blood left.

When his strength was sufficient, he could head overseas.

He would only have one chance.

The Great Era was about to arrive. If he failed, it would be impossible to get any opportunities at all.

The Immortal Mountain Sea Shield would also be lost forever.

Perhaps one day, when he was stronger, he could retrieve it.

But who knew how long that would take?

So, he had to become stronger quickly and venture overseas before the Great Era arrived.
