Chapter 507: Was Your Junior Brother Normal Before?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zheng Shijiu was temporarily appointed the leader. He was surprised but didn’t say anything.

After all, Jiang Hao rarely did this kind of thing without reason.

What puzzled him, however, was what he wanted to examine in this place.

Everyone was curious, but no one asked any questions.

They could only follow his arrangements.

The immediate priority was to understand this place and then deal with the matter of the mine.

The mine was still a secret, and there was no need to report it right away. Everyone wanted to make some profit from it.

However, they needed to be careful about this to avoid trouble.

When Zheng Shijiu and the others left, Jiang Hao faced the wall alone.

He didn’t do much but started to wipe it.

He wanted to see how much he could wipe in a day and figure out why the wall produced bubbles.

It took a long time.

He took a piece of cloth and focused on the task. As time pa.s.sed, white bubbles kept appearing.

The constant notifications were refreshing.

It felt wonderful to get so many bubbles. He could feel the change in his body.

But after wiping for a while, all he got were white bubbles.

Even green ones were exceptionally rare.

The next day, Jiang Hao was still wiping the wall. The area where he had wipes gradually became smoother, but there was still a lot of dirt.

After a day, the bubbles didn’t surprise Jiang Hao so much, as the number of bubbles gradually began to decrease.

The quality of the gains had also improved, and he obtained several spirit swords.

What surprised him the most was that the dirt and grime here were unbelievably thick.

“If Heavenly Stele Mountain had dirt this thick, I wonder how many blue bubbles would appear when it’s wiped clean.” Jiang Hao sighed.

Back then, he hadn’t wiped it completely clean. It was such a pity!

On the third day, Jiang Hao managed to get a blue bubble. Although it was just one blue bubble, it was still great.

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower produced two blue bubbles every seven days. But wiping this wall produced one blue bubble every three days. Moreover, finding a blue bubble also depended on luck.

Perhaps he would find another blue bubble tomorrow.

On the fourth day, it happened!

[Vitality +1]

“It really appeared!”

His luck was decent.

Even though no one had come to ask him anything, there was still a lot of gossip.

No one understood what he was doing.

Most of the people said, “Look, the manager is wiping the wall again. Do you think he’ll stop today?”

“No, he does that every day. I really don’t know what he’s here for.”

Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator Zheng Shijiu couldn’t understand why Jiang Hao was acting like this.

Now, the five of them were sitting together discussing Jiang Hao.

“You’re from the same sect, right? Don’t you know what he is doing?” asked Xiao Xiaohui.

Zheng Shijiu felt a little embarra.s.sed. “Junior brother Jiang is a peculiar person. He seems to prefer silence and is always alone, so it’s normal not to understand what he plans.”

“But can’t he just stop wiping the wall day and night? Everyone knows that Disciple Jiang is in charge here. His every move affects the surroundings,” said the bald man and hesitated. “How about the three of you go and persuade him?” “Or we could enclose the area where Junior Brother Jiang is,” Xin Yuyue said.

“That’s a good idea.” Yue You nodded. “We can publicly announce that Junior Brother Jiang is digging for the secret of the Sea Fog Cave.”

The five of them felt that it was a good idea.

After all, no one knew what the secret was, so it didn’t matter whether it was there or not.

The most important thing was to stabilize the place first.

This area wasn’t particularly dangerous, and there were no special changes. As long as there were no internal problems, there shouldn’t be any issues.

In the following days, Jiang Hao noticed that the walls were starting to clear out around him.

They enclosed the area where he was. Apart from the entrance to the mine, there were walls everywhere, and the interior s.p.a.ce was not small either.

Lighting arrays had also been set up.

The quiet environment made Jiang Hao feel quite comfortable. He went out to thank Senior Brother Zheng in person.

When he was asked what he was doing, he couldn’t answer, so he chose to remain silent.

He couldn’t tell them that he was here for bubbles.

So, what else could he say? Should he tell them that he was just cleaning the walls?

That was partly the truth, but they might not believe him.

So, silence was the best choice. Perhaps they would come up with their own answers to this question.

This was a short-term solution but in the long run…

This wall did have a secret, but he didn’t know it at the moment.

As for the secret, he didn’t care. He didn’t have any intention of taking advantage of any opportunities, no matter what they were.

As long as he could wipe the wall in peace, he was satisfied.

He found that about half of the walls had bubbles. That meant the secret was within these walls.

The secret might be something impactful. Whether he wanted to reveal it or not depended entirely on him.

With so many people watching, it was impossible to keep it a secret.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao continued to wipe the wall.

White bubbles kept appearing.

[Endurance +1]

[Spirit +1]

Seeing all the +1s made him feel a bit emotional. If he could gain +1s for intelligence too, he would be more composed when dealing with Hong Yuye in the future.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t add to his intelligence. He couldn’t understand how someone with a warped mind thought.

Jiang Hao chuckled at himself and then continued to wipe.

Becoming a genius was impossible, but improving his strength was a better choice.

In the Sea Fog Cave, there was no concept of day and night, and many people lost track of time.

They could only go about their own business each day.

“Junior Sister Yue, how long has it been?” Zheng Shijiu asked.

At this moment, Yue You was standing in front of a wooden board and marking it to count the days. “About a month.”

“A month?!” Xin Yuyue looked at the wall in disbelief. “Junior Brother Jiang hasn’t come out for a month. What could be the reason?”

“I don’t know, but the people already believe our explanation. They all think there’s a secret inside and don’t dare to approach recklessly.” Zheng Shijiu sighed helplessly. “At least, that’s the situation on the surface.”

As for the discussions happening in secret among the people, they were unaware of it. There were always some people who would have doubts. “Was your junior brother normal before all this?” Xiao Xiaohui walked over to

them.

Xin Yuyue thought for a moment. “I heard he just worked in the Spirit herb

Garden and didn’t go anywhere else.”

Zheng Shijiu looked outside. “According to the time, the sect’s people should be coming to check our situation soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone became nervous. There was a mine here, and the arrival of sect members might bring trouble.

However, it was unlikely they would make things difficult for the people here. After all, they hadn’t done anything to harm the sect.

“Hey, something seems to be approaching,” Ah Zha said suddenly.

Everyone was startled and immediately went outside to check.

They understood how special Ah Zha was. It had extraordinary intelligence and a high status.

It was Elder Baizhi’s envoy.

So even though Ah Zha’s strength was just average, no one dared to show it any disrespect.

When it said something was approaching, n.o.body questioned it..
