Jiang Hao did not rush into things after discovering it.

He knew he could barely hold his own if it came to a fight against such a powerful person. He needed to find out how many such people had been sent here.

There was no need to alert the enemy.

He could just dig for ores like he always did.

However, during the process, he sensed an obscure spiritual energy.

He noticed Wei Yanhua talking to the others.

Then, he seemed to have discovered something. He dug out some treasures.

There were a total of five items.

Jiang Hao frowned.

“Have you dug up a lot of treasures recently?” he asked the one-armed woman.

“Yes,” she said. “Three or four pieces of treasure per day on average.”

Jiang Hao was shocked.

There had been about fifty pieces of treasure before, so there might be around ten powerful people from the Great Thousand God Sect who were digging in the mine.

If that was the case, then he could not do anything against them.

It would be extremely dangerous.

He returned to the building.

Jiang Hao realized that thirty-six items had been delivered today.

“There are quite several treasures every day. It seems that there are indeed quite several people from the Great Thousand God Sect.”

He wished that he could have more treasures, but he did not like the people who were digging them up.

He felt helpless.

‘I’ll take a look first. Maybe I can inform someone in the sect, and they can suppress those people…’

If they could be suppressed, he would not have to worry. Treasures would keep coming in anyway.

He had time.

He would observe them for another two days.

The next day, Jiang Hao switched teams.

He had specially chosen a team with a strong spiritual presence.

As expected, he found a woman who seemed strange.

After a simple appraisal, he found out that she was also from the Great Thousand God Sect. Her goal was the same as Wei Yanhua’s. However, she was at the sixth stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

Jiang Hao was not a match for such a formidable opponent.

It was clearer than ever that he could not alert the enemy.

On the third day, Jiang Hao followed another team.

This time, he felt a strange sense of danger as he approached it.

He saw a disfigured woman who seemed even stronger than Elder Baizhi.

He veered away and went another way because he was scared of being discovered.

The other party was vigilant, so he had to be on his guard.

On the fourth day, Jiang Hao walked to the area managed by the one-armed junior.

He wanted to observe the place for a while and then inform the sect.

If there were more immortals, he had to inform the sect.

Who knew what would happen here in the end?

Usually, such powerful experts would not gather in one place.

When he arrived, he was surprised to see that Wei Yanhua’s Lifeblood refinement Realm puppet had changed.

The extension of spiritual energy was not as strong as before.

Instead, an old miner at the side emitted a strong, familiar aura.

Had the puppet changed? Did it change every day?

Did he notice something and change it for safety?

Jiang Hao found it unbelievable. He felt that the person was being overly cautious.

From the looks of it, it seemed that it would be difficult for the sect to pin them down.

He still needed to inform the sect. But how would he do that if they kept changing?

Without Liu Xingchen around, it would be difficult.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to talk with the senior on the third floor.

In the evening, after mining, Jiang Hao returned to the appraisal building.

After wiping and identifying the thirty-two items, he went straight to the third floor.

He knocked on the door.

“Come in,” said Senior Sister Xia from the other side of the door.

Jiang Hao opened the door and entered. He took out the notebook and placed it on the table.

“Senior Xia, this is the record of the treasures for today. I need you to check it.”

Senior Sister Xia looked at it briefly. Her gaze stopped on the last line.

That was a good treasure. It was a hollow net bead. Wooden beads were floating inside.

“Junior Brother Jiang, do you know where this came from?” She was a little surprised.

“A little,” Jiang Hao said softly.

He knew she would ask. He had deliberately brought it to her notice.

“It’s a legacy treasure from the various ancient clans. These treasures all have one thing in common…” Jiang Hao sat down and began to explain.

By the time he finished explaining, Senior Sister Xia had poured a cup of tea for Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao told her that he had seen it by chance. He mentioned in passing that there were a lot of treasures being unearthed recently. It was unusual because they did not find too many treasures in the past.

He also mentioned that he had just come out of seclusion. He told her that it felt like something big might have happened in the mine.

The Senior Sister sighed with emotion. Then, she frowned.

She seemed to have thought of something.

Jiang Hao took his leave and returned to the second floor.

The next day, the people from Law Enforcement Hall arrived for an inspection. They had reason to believe there was a traitor in the midst.

The search began.

After a day, they returned empty-handed.

Jiang Hao did not know the details, but he knew this was Senior Sister Xia’s doing.

This was all he could do.

He only hoped that he could stall the progress of the Great Thousand God Sect, even by a little.

At night, in a house near the mine, the disfigured woman said, “They’re suspicious. I think they have noticed that something is strange.”

“How do you know?” asked an old man.

“I’m not sure. But I sensed six people’s gazes on me in the mine today. Just to be safe, let’s assume they are after us. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall were there too. We must be careful. We might have dug out too many treasures. Make sure you dig fewer treasures until everything seems normal again to them. Take it slow. Don’t rush it.”

The others nodded silently.

Around early June, Jiang Hao noticed that the number of treasures being dug out had decreased after the visit from the Law Enforcement Hall.

It was getting fewer every day.

In the end, only five or six treasures were delivered in a day.

The managers at the mine said that the place had been almost completely excavated.

Jiang Hao sighed. It seemed he had managed to slow down the enemies, after all.

However, it also impacted him. He got fewer bubbles than before because there were fewer treasures this time.

Fortunately, he still got some bubbles from digging.

He only got two bubbles at most in a day.

That was still incredible.

He was now an immortal. He could not get bubbles from cleaning ordinary treasures.

He did not pay too much attention to the people in the mine. He did not want to make the enemy suspicious.

He only needed to keep an eye on one of them and appraise them every few days to see their progress.

On that day, Senior Brother Bai Yi found him.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you haven’t had a break in a long time, right?”

Jiang Hao was surprised by the question but realized it was indeed true.

He did not dare to rest. Taking a day off would mean losing a day of progress. He did not have time to lose.

How could he dare to take a break?

If he was not ready on the day the merit from the cauldron was used up, he would die.

“Take a break today. It’s important to rest. Otherwise, your cultivation will suffer,” said Bai Yi.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and nodded.

He could not refuse his senior.

It was troublesome to offend him.

After Bai Yi left, Jiang Hao suddenly sensed a familiar scent in the air.

“Looks like your condition has improved a lot. Your cultivation realm has increased? Are you still at the peak of the Golden Core Realm?”

It was Hong Yuye’s voice.
