Chapter 54 - 54: A Message from the Ye Immortal Family
BOOM!
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan immediately felt a surging medicinal power explode in his body.
He did not dare to be careless.
Jiang Chengxuan quickly circulated the Five Elements True Technique and began to guide this medicinal power into his meridians before letting it slowly enter his dantian.
Gradually, the medicinal power began to be converted into pure True Essence by Jiang Chengxuan.
Just like that, about a year later.
An extremely surging aura came from the cultivation room where Jiang Chengxuan was.
Fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, success!
Jiang Chengxuan slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
He carefully sensed the changes in his body and realized that his True Essence had increased by about 50%.
At this moment, he was certain that the strength of his True Essence was not much inferior to those cultivators who had just broken through to the seventh level.
Coupled with the suitable Dharma artifacts, talismans, and spells, he was completely capable of fighting against late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
After Jiang Chengxuan spent half a year consolidating his realm, he pushed open the door of the cultivation room and walked out.
When he came out, Jiang Chengxuan realized that Shen Ruyan had already come out of seclusion before him.
At this moment, she was checking a communication jade talisman.
But soon, Jiang Chengxuan sensed the change in Shen Ruyan and couldn’t help but look surprised.
Shen Ruyan had actually broken through again.
She was now at the eighth level!
At this moment, Shen Ruyan sensed Jiang Chengxuan’s presence.
She put down the communication jade talisman in her hand and turned to smile at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Husband, it seems that you’ve gained quite a lot from your seclusion this time. You’ve already broken through to the mid-stage. Congratulations.”
A smile appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face as he nodded.
“My gains are indeed not bad, but Ruyan, it seems that your gains this time are not small either. It’s only been two years at most. I didn’t expect you to break through again. This really impressed me.”
The two of them chatted for a while about their situation over the past two years.
In the end, Jiang Chengxuan asked,
“By the way, Ruyan, I saw you looking at the communication jade talisman just now. Is it from the family?”
“Not really.”
Shen Ruyan shook her head.
“It’s from the Ye Immortal Family.”
“Ye Immortal Family?”
Jiang Chengxuan looked surprised.
“Yeah.”
Shen Ruyan nodded.
“They said that they discovered a purple gold mine. At the moment, the exact situation in the mine is unknown, so they want to invite us to explore it together. After that, we can take away 20% of the gains.”
“There’s such a thing?”
Jiang Chengxuan was even more surprised.
As everyone knew, Purple gold was a very important refining material.
Most purple gold was low-grade Level 2, and some could reach mid-grade Level 2 or even high-grade Level 2.
One of the main materials to make Jiang Chengxuan’s low-grade Level 2 defensive Dharma artifact, the Purple Gold Spirit Shield, was purple gold.
From this, it could be seen that the value of a purple gold mine, even if it was only a small one, was an astronomical figure.
However, the Ye Immortal Family wanted to invite them to explore such a priceless purple gold mine together. Moreover, they were willing to give them 20% of the gains. No matter how he thought about it, this did not seem reliable.
Logically speaking, even if the Ye Immortal Family really wanted to find helpers to explode the mine, they were supposed to contact the Shen Immortal Family directly instead of them.
Moreover, as a dignified Violet Palace Realm immortal Family, how could the Ye Immortal Family not be able to deal with a mere purple gold mine?
The more Jiang Chengxuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he told Shen Ruyan all his doubts.
Shen Ruyan nodded after hearing it.
“You’re right. It’s indeed suspicious.
The explanation given by the Ye Immortal Family is that they wanted to reduce the cost. After all, if they cooperated with the entire Shen Immortal Family, they would probably have to give away more than 20% of the gains.
However, I feel that they are hiding something. It might be a trap.
So…
Let’s turn them down.”
Jiang Chengxuan totally agreed with his wife’s decision.
In his opinion, it was better not to get involved in this kind of tricky matters.
Especially at such a critical moment where the demon beast riot was about to break out, they had to be extra careful.
Three days after Shen Ruyan replied to the message.
In front of the entrance of a mineral vein.
Four cultivators of the Ye Immortal Family were talking.
This included Jiang Chengxuan’s acquaintance, Ye Feichen.
Other than him, there was also the First Elder of the Ye Immortal Family, Ye Feiyang, the Fourth Elder, Ye Wanqiu, and the Eighth Elder, Ye Dongsheng.
At this moment, Ye Dongsheng asked, “First Elder, what’s the situation now? How many people rejected us and how many people agreed to come?”
Hearing this, Ye Feichen and Ye Wanqiu also looked at First Elder Ye Feiyang.
First Elder Ye Feiyang’s eyes darkened slightly as he said calmly,
“Jiang Chengxuan and his wife from the Shen Immortal Family, Zhang Kaixuan from the Zhang Immortal Family, Gu Qianshan from the Eternal Sky Sect, and a few Foundation Establishment Realm elders from the Sunset Sect all rejected us.”
“What? They all rejected us?”
Hearing Ye Feiyang’s reply, Ye Dongsheng, Ye Feichen, and Ye Wanqiu couldn’t help but look angry.
Ye Wanqiu, who was wearing a white dress, said coldly, “What do they mean? Are they looking down on us Ye Immortal Family?”
Ye Feichen and Ye Dongsheng slowly calmed down.
Ye Feichen said, “It seems that we’re acting a little too rashly.
I have some understanding of Jiang Chengxuan, Zhang Kaixuan, and Gu Qianshan. They are the more cautious kind of people.
Our explanation is not convincing. It’s no wonder they’re unwilling to take the risk.”
Ye Dongsheng nodded.
“That’s true. Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time. If we could evaluate the situation better, I believe those people wouldn’t have all rejected us.”
“Hmph! What’s the use of saying this now? If those people don’t come, what can we do?”
Ye Wanqiu snorted angrily.
At this moment, First Elder Ye Feiyang suddenly said,
“It’s not that no one is willing to come. After all, not everyone can maintain a calm mind in the face of benefits..”
