100-year-old foundation building, starting from the maximum level of understanding

Chapter 90 Golden Fiend Yuan Fruit, Fiend Yuan Tree

The reason they wanted to take over that gold-stone mine was to gain greater credit.

After all, the deaths of five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were merely his way of giving Ice and Fire True Man an explanation.

He himself did not have any merit.

However, if we can seize this opportunity to take over one of their mines, the achievement would be immense.

At that time, if he wants to exchange it for some treasures or cultivation techniques, there will be no problem.

Moreover, acquiring a gold-bearing stone mine would undoubtedly yield a substantial harvest of resources.

Ji Haoyuan is not a pedantic person.

He won't take away a single penny of the benefits that are rightfully his.

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, Zheng Guangyang and Lin Qingwu were both somewhat shocked.

What kind of confidence does one need to say something like that?

It was as if the other party's gold-stone mine was located in his own backyard, and he could take it whenever he wanted.

However, they quickly came to their senses.

Just now, the formation surrounding their Crimson Jade Spirit Mine, presided over by Black Fiend Daoist and others, seemed to have had no effect on him at all.

Could it be that Ji Haoyuan is not only extremely powerful, but also a second-tier or higher formation master?
Otherwise, they would have no way of explaining why the formations set up by Black Fiend Daoist and others earlier had no effect on him whatsoever.

Upon thinking of this, the two men's awe of Ji Haoyuan increased even further.

The two nodded in unison.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ji. We will send a message to Yuan Guangcheng later and tell him everything that has happened here."

However, Senior Brother Ji, are you really planning to go to the Jin Yuan Stone Mine alone?

Should we bring some people along as helpers?
At the very least, I can take care of things for you afterwards.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan really gave it a good consideration.

This doesn't mean he actually needs any help on his way to the gold mine.

Rather, it was because the subsequent management of the gold mine after he acquired it did indeed require several people to handle this matter specifically.

It's impossible to expect him to do even this kind of thing later on.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan turned to look at Liu Hongyu and Feng Wanqing, and smiled:

“Fellow Daoists, I’ll trouble you to accompany me on this trip to the Gold Origin Stone Mine.”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Zeyuan and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I will trouble you to stay here for the time being and guard this Crimson Jade Spirit Mine with Senior Brother Zheng and Junior Sister Lin to prevent any possible villains from coming."

If anything unexpected happens during this time, please feel free to contact me.

Finally, he turned to Ji Qingfei and Ji Yunshan beside him, thought for a moment, and said:

"You two, come with me this time as well."

The purpose of bringing the two along was twofold: firstly, to train them, and secondly, and most importantly, to let them also gain some credit on this trip.

As for why they only brought the two of them and not others, or other family members,

There are many reasons to say this.

But the most important people are Ji Qingfei and Ji Yunshan, one being his direct great-grandson and the other being an acquaintance of his from the past.

To put it bluntly, bringing Ji Yunshan along was really just an extra.

The reason was simply to prevent Ji Qingfei from standing out too much.

After all, Ji Haoyuan wasn't a nanny. He wouldn't interfere too much with or care about the development, growth, or paths of the other family members besides Ji Qingfei.

What he can do, or what he can do in the future, is to provide support in terms of the overall situation and direction.

Everything else depends on them.

Goldstone mine.

This is a spirit mine located in the Valley of the Dark Springs.

This place is dark all year round, and rarely receives sunlight.

Furthermore, its location nestled between two mountains gave it the name Youquan Valley (Secluded Spring Valley). At this time...

Inside a large formation.

Several cultivators dressed in the robes of the Netherworld Sect were looking at the golden light emanating from the mine with delight.

A subtle fragrance mingled with a hint of sharpness constantly stimulated their senses.

That was the aura of the Golden Fiend Fruit about to ripen.

This was something that none of the Netherworld Sect cultivators had anticipated.

Within this Jin Yuan Stone mine, a Yuan Sha Golden Tree was actually nurtured.

This is a second-tier high-grade spiritual plant.

Every fifty years, three Golden Fiend Fruits can be produced.

If a cultivator takes it, he can cleanse his body of malevolent energy, turbid energy, and all kinds of impurities, making his magical power purer and more refined.

If one is a cultivator who specializes in metal-related techniques, this can greatly increase their cultivation level.

It is also an essential spiritual object for cultivating certain types of metal-based spells.

The effects of this spiritual fruit are also of great benefit to cultivators like them who specialize in demonic arts.

Especially those demonic cultivators who have cultivated their way up step by step through unorthodox means.

The magical power within his body had long been mixed with many filthy things.

This spiritual object is a perfect opportunity to cleanse and refine it.

"Senior Brother Yu, if my guess is correct, this fruit will be fully ripe in about an incense stick's time."

"At that time, with the help of this fruit, your Netherworld Sword's power will surely double."

At this moment, a female cultivator with a seductive figure and alluring appearance, dressed in a long black gauze dress, smiled and spoke to a man beside her with a gloomy expression and sharp eyes.

This person is named Yu Changkong, and is a core elder of the Netherworld Palace of the Netherworld Sect.

The cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

He was dispatched here because of the war with the Crimson Cloud Sect.

He happened to be here on patrol when this unexpected opportunity came up.

A slight smile appeared on his previously gloomy face, and he nodded slightly, saying:

"In that case, I'll take your kind words, Junior Sister Lan."

There's not much politeness among demonic cultivators.

When interests are at stake, there will be no room for compromise.

Upon hearing Yu Changkong's words, the alluring female cultivator known as Junior Sister Lan couldn't help but smile again on her charming face.

"Then, I, your junior sister, would like to congratulate Senior Brother Yu on his immediate success."

By the way, I heard earlier that you were coming, so I specially prepared some gifts that you might need.

I hope Senior Brother Yu will accept this offer with pleasure.

"Hmm? A gift that I can use?"

Yu Changkong's gaze finally turned to the alluring female cultivator, and then he scrutinized her from head to toe.

The alluring female cultivator chuckled.

"Senior Brother Yu, please don't be in a hurry. Once the Golden Fiend Yuan Fruit here is fully ripe, I will offer it to you with both hands after you have picked it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changkong seemed to understand something, and a smile reappeared on his gloomy face.

"In that case, I thank you in advance, junior sister."

When the Golden Fiend Fruit ripens later, Junior Sister, you may take one.

The alluring female cultivator clearly meant those words, and upon hearing them, her smile became even more captivating.

Just as she was about to say something more, both of them suddenly sensed something strange.
