night.
Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the bed, the spiritual power in his body continuously flushing the spiritual veins. As a bottleneck was broken, the flow of spiritual power became smoother.
"In less than ten days, I have reached the first level of Qi training."
"With my natural spiritual roots and the stimulation of my body, the combination of the two can help me break through the precious and scarce spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The speed is already acceptable." Jiang Ning thought.
The further one progresses in cultivating immortals, the slower the progress. According to his estimation, it might not be enough to complete the entire Qi training period even in his entire high school career.
However, if elixirs were used to assist, the speed would be much faster.
Resources are indispensable for cultivation. In his previous life, he had the support of Luoyun Sect, and he had hardly worried about resources before the Jindan stage. The sect's best alchemist was always ready for him, so he could get whatever he wanted.
Now I have to start all over again, without any help from the sect, and I have to get the resources on my own.
The golden jar buried under Xue Yuantong's house was the first step for him to get rich.
Even though they had just eaten a meal at Xue Yuantong's house during the day, they were going to dig up his house at night...
But Jiang Ning was still decisive in his actions.
He recalled Aunt Gu's kindness and Xue Yuantong's liveliness, and said silently:
"I'm sorry, Xue Yuantong, Aunt Gu, I will compensate you later!"
He activated his spiritual sense, and after entering the first level of Qi training, his spiritual sense also increased a little, and he was barely able to perform a small-scale unobstructed scan.
The spiritual consciousness was like an invisible giant hand, grabbing the ground, treating the soil as nothing, and penetrating directly into it.
It was very difficult for the spiritual consciousness to move in the soil, as if it was stuck in mud. Every time it went deeper, a lot of energy would be consumed. If Jiang Ning had not practiced the secret method of tempering his spiritual consciousness, his spiritual consciousness would have been very tough and he would have been unable to withstand such consumption.
When Jiang Ning went about one meter deep, he began to sweat.
“It’s still too much of a stretch!”
Jiang Ning sighed, but did not give up. Instead, he endured the mental fatigue and continued to scan below.
A minute later, he showed a puzzled expression, and his spiritual sense did not find any foreign objects below.
After a brief consideration, he urged his spiritual sense to go to the next room, which was the kitchen. As his spiritual sense continued to extend, Jiang Ning finally discovered something unusual.
Then his spiritual consciousness circled around and determined the shape of the foreign object, an oval jar.
As expected, it was the jar containing gold.
After marking the specific location of the jar, Jiang Ning got up from the bed, opened the door, and went to the kitchen.
He reached out and moved the cabinet, and the jar was located right under it.
In the darkness, Jiang Ning looked at the cement on the ground and frowned slightly. With his current spiritual power, it was not difficult to cut the cement floor, but the difficult part was how to not make any sound.
It was late at night, and if the noise was too loud, it would disturb the neighbors and cause unnecessary trouble.
After thinking about it, he decided to use his spiritual power to solve it.
Jiang Ning drew a green halo in the air. The halo trembled slightly and seemed extremely unstable.
He bent his finger and a green circle of light slowly fell on the concrete floor, cutting it silently like a sharp knife cutting tofu.
This is the sword energy application technique that Jiang Ning used in his previous life. It compresses spiritual power and makes it extremely sharp. If it reaches a high level, it can even cut magical weapons.
However, with Jiang Ning's current level of Qi training, the power is extremely small and can only barely cut through the cement.
Even so, this move consumed 70% of his magic power.
The blue light circle separated a line and gently plowed the soil under the cement. Jiang Ning waved his hand in the air, and a cement disc as big as a basin came out completely.
The reason why it was done so meticulously was to avoid damaging Xue Yuantong's floor too much. After taking out the jar, the cement sheet could be closed.
Looking at the black and yellow soil exposed under the cement, Jiang Ning naturally couldn't start digging. He was a cultivator at the first level of Qi training. Although his magic power was weak, he still had some skills to take the jar out of the soil.
One only needs to use the "Earth Attraction Technique" to draw out the jar, but Jiang Ning's magic power is weak and cannot support the casting of the spell.
So, before that, he still had to make some preparations.
The kitchen bucket was filled with water. Jiang Ning picked up the bucket and poured it onto the soil. The water flowed as if controlled and seeped into the soil. Under the guidance of Jiang Ning's "water-drawing technique", the water flowed straight downward all the way to the jar.
The originally slightly hard soil softened because of the water.
In this way, it will be much easier to perform the "Earth Attraction Technique".
Jiang Ning formed a spell with his right hand and pressed his palm into the mud, mobilizing all his spiritual power. The jar underground seemed to be pulled by a chain, trembling slightly, and then slowly moved upwards.
Ten seconds later, Jiang Ning raised his palm slightly, and a black jar emerged from the mud.
The jar weighed about twenty kilograms, and Jiang Ning did not open it. At this moment, he just felt mentally exhausted. His spiritual power and spiritual consciousness were consumed too much, and his head was dizzy.
Jiang Ning reluctantly closed the cement lid, moved the storage cabinet back to its original place, cleaned the jar, then put it under the bed and fell asleep.
When Jiang Ning woke up the next day, the sunlight outside shone through the window, making his body feel warm.
Facing the sunshine, he felt his whole body filled with spiritual energy and full consciousness, and his mood was slightly uplifted.
He released his spiritual sense and took out a jar from under the bed. The jar was not big, only slightly larger than the mouth of a bowl.
After studying it for a while, Jiang Ning opened the jar and saw several pieces of thick linen.
He used his magic power to draw out the linen through the air, and a pile of things fell out of it, gold bars and gold beans piled on the ground.
Twelve gold bars as thick as thumbs and twenty-three gold beans the size of broad beans.
Apart from this, there was nothing else in the jar.
Jiang Ning weighed it and found that a gold bar was about 300g and the gold beans were about 20g.
The current price of gold is about 300 yuan per gram. This pile of gold is worth more than one million yuan. In 2013, when housing prices had not yet skyrocketed, this money could buy a house of more than 100 square meters even in the provincial capital.
For Jiang Ning, it is enough to use for cultivation for a long time.
Jiang Ning was in a good mood. With this gold, he could eat whatever he wanted in the future. He could also buy any herbs he wanted, prepare various pills and body-tempering spirit liquids to speed up the progress.
More than one million. He had worked for several years before, but his savings were less than half of that. If he was not a cultivator and had seen the world, he would have been ecstatic at this moment. Unfortunately, after seeing the bigger world, what he pursued was not just money, but his own power.
Be it money or power, they are all nothing in front of absolute, overwhelming force.
The small group of people standing at the top of the world are still mortals, and one bullet can take their lives.
Cultivating immortals can change the essence of life.
What Jiang Ning seeks is the eternal road and the joy of exploring the eternal road.
