Chapter 1769: Chapter 1769: Waiting
Liu Su listened on the side, feeling that he definitely couldn’t be together with the others. They have a Storage Ring given by their sect, and he has nothing. The Immortal Crystals he has are far too few.
After coming out from the management office, "Tian Yan Daoist, I wish to get some supplies."
"Sure, we can go together. What does Liu Su Daoist want?"
"Immortal Plant Encyclopedia, I need to work hard to earn Immortal Crystals. Otherwise, I won’t even have the money for a ticket."
"Hmm, I have the Immortal Plant Encyclopedia, and also my Demon Beast Collection. Perhaps we should buy some Blank Jade Scrolls?"
Tian Yan is not someone with much sympathy, but this Liu Su is not annoying at all.
Liu Su’s face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Tian Yan Daoist. Thank you so much." Liu Su didn’t have a Cultivation Technique, and this time planned to buy one.
It’s known that ordinary tool Jade Scrolls will be given to you by others, but a Cultivation Technique definitely won’t be leaked.
Both of them arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, and Liu Su inquired about the Cultivation Techniques. After listening, Liu Su was left speechless. Wasn’t this just squeezing out all his Immortal Crystals?
After looking at the introduction, he still decided to buy it. There was really no other choice. Being poor meant having to find a way to earn Immortal Crystals, but being without a Cultivation Technique was a problem. It would delay things.
He bought the Cultivation Technique and also ten Jade Scrolls; the shopkeeper gave them as a bonus.
After leaving the workshop, Tian Yan used the Flying Boat. On the road here, he hadn’t encountered any robbery, which meant this area was quite safe. Actually, he knew it was because the people who rob others disdain coming here.
"Tian Yan Daoist, I want to cultivate." Liu Su was anxious to improve his own strength, as strength was the only capital he would have to survive.
"Give me the Blank Jade Scrolls, and I will record the ones you need in my spare time."
Liu Su smiled gratefully. Tian Yan, this cultivator, was genuinely decent.
After Liu Su went inside, Tian Yan finally touched his empty hands, which were actually concealed; Su Yuanyuan said that even a Daluo Golden Immortal couldn’t discern it.
He shuffled out a hundred Immortal Crystals, two Array Plates, and Jade Scrolls; he didn’t move the rest of the Elixirs and such; these would be his future capital.
He thanked Su Yuanyuan in his heart once more. Without her, he would probably be in a worse state than this Liu Su Fairy.
After recording, if he couldn’t cultivate, he would read the Jade Scrolls. There were too many places that required Immortal Crystals. Even if he was as obsessive as Pishi, it would still take ten or eight years, and he didn’t dare to gamble.
It took half a year to get here, and only forty days to return.
"Why have you returned?"
"Elder. I came here to wait for my sect-mate; he was about due when I ascended."
A Heavenly Immortal nodded, "Hmm."
"Elder, we want to cultivate here; is it possible?"
"There are rooms over there; you’ll have to provide your own Array."
"Thank you. We have one here."
Tian Yan gave Liu Su one Array Plate and two Jade Scrolls, and the two went to cultivate separately.
With the Array, both were quite at ease. They could cultivate securely, knowing that the few around here couldn’t break the Array.
Cultivation forgets the passage of time; when Tian Yan opened his eyes, a year had passed. His cultivation had made some progress, but not a lot.
He knew that even if he meditated again, there wouldn’t be much effect, so it would be better to go out and take a break.
He had a better impression of Liu Su Fairy who was still cultivating next door.
The Ascension Pool didn’t have ascension cultivators arriving every day, so Tian Yan went to chat with them.
Immortals are also people; after all, they haven’t become Gods yet. After a long time, Tian Yan developed a good relationship with them.
"You are quite loyal, wasting time here for your sect-mate."
Tian Yan smiled bitterly, "Mainly, I don’t have the capability to get to the East Immortal Emperor Realm to find my sect-mate. Besides, we get along quite well. Together, we stand a better chance."
"What’s with that female immortal? I didn’t expect you to be quite attractive. There are more male cultivators than female immortals in the Immortal World too."
"Hmm, met her at the mine. Guys, do you think I could go back to do some mining work? At least I could earn some Spirit Stones. Although my sect-mate left me a thousand Immortal Crystals, after handing in the task, I had nothing left."
"You could, but a thousand will only get you twenty Immortal Crystals."
"Twenty? Fine, I’ll give each of you two, and when my sect-mate comes up, you let me know; I can still have twelve left."
The few were quite pleased; actually, only those who just ascended treated them with respect, whereas they were the lowest here.
"Please introduce me to some."
Tian Yan found that cultivating in the mine was much better than outside in terms of immortal power. Moreover, he could secretly stash some Immortal Crystals this time.
Thinking about it was heart-wrenching; how did he end up in this situation as an Ascension Cultivator?
"No problem," they said, since they’d get Immortal Crystals for free, and there wasn’t much to be done.
Tian Yan called Liu Su to inform him.
"Tian Yan Daoist, I’ll wait here."
Unexpectedly, within a year, Liu Su Fairy had also ascended to a Mid-stage Heavenly Immortal, which showed her aptitude was quite good.
Tian Yan entered the Array so no one else could hear them. "Liu Su Daoist, actually cultivating in the mine is faster."
Liu Su immediately understood Tian Yan’s intention.
"I’m just not keen on mining."
"Then be careful here."
"Alright, don’t worry, I’m just cultivating in the Array."
Tian Yan returned to the Immortal Crystal Mine and confirmed that indeed, one thousand Immortal Crystals earned him twenty, but the stay couldn’t exceed two years.
He randomly picked a cave to enter, his face ecstatic.
They really couldn’t detect the Storage Ring, meaning he could hide some things.
At this point, he was uninterested in cultivating because he had to gather some Immortal Crystals. The days without money were truly hard.
Once inside, he cast spells until his immortal power depleted, then cultivated. He kept this cycle up. Soon, nearly two years passed; he already had five thousand Immortal Crystals, which was quite delightful. What made him happiest was now being a mid-stage Heavenly Immortal, his greatest gain.
When Pishi ascended, he also stayed here for two more years, knowing his Storage Ring could be concealed. For Pishi, it could certainly be hidden too. Even if he had to work for two years, the rewards were twofold.
He stored four thousand away and briskly went out, holding five in his hand to give to the responsible Profound Immortal.
"Elder, this is my task."
This Profound Immortal nonchalantly accepted them, inspecting them. "Hmm, not bad, the quantity is right. Here is yours."
Tian Yan took the twenty Immortal Crystals. "Elder, I’ll go see if my sect-mate has arrived yet. If not, can I still return here to take tasks?"
"You can. You did quite well."
"Thank you, Elder. I’ll go take a look."
Tian Yan reached the Ascension Pool. There was still no news of Pishi, so he handed four Immortal Crystals to the four people. "Thank you for taking the trouble, you all."
