Chapter 90

Jiang Jian swiped his finger and looked down.

On the holographic screen, a large amount of task details appeared.

"Mount Tianzhu is the foundation of the Five-Fold River City in Linjiang Prefecture."

"The earth veins contain spiritual opportunities, spreading branches and leaves, stretching for ten thousand miles."

"Choose an earth vein branch, clean it up, and assist the Linjiang Prefecture Government in excavating earth vein resources."

The options in the corner of the screen were gray and fixed.

Clearly.

Liu Liu Tiezhu, who had accepted the task, had already finished choosing the earth vein branch.

"Current task target: Earth Vein No. 1103."

"Special note: Living beings along the earth vein that hinder the government from excavating resources will not be issued identity devices, will be regarded as unauthorized persons, and can be executed directly."

"Special note: During the task, government staff will accompany, and after the cleanup is completed, the staff will record the progress."

"Extra reward: For every 1 kilometer advanced, reward 1,000 credits."

Jiang Jian swiped away the information.

The next second.

Liu Liu Tiezhu's real-time communication had already been dialed over.

Jiang Jian clicked to connect.

"Jiang Jian, are you back?"

Liu Liu Tiezhu's tone was a bit teasing, "I was just browsing the Joint Forum and saw your Cross-Boundary Shuttle."

Anhe Academy was also one of the seventeen Divine Gift Universities.

Jiang Jian's Cross-Boundary Shuttle had been photographed clearly and posted on the forum, attracting many envious and amazed replies.

"In about 2 hours, I will be able to return to the Mount Tianzhu orbit."

Jiang Jian said, "You guys come out early, pick me up outside Jiangcheng, and go directly to Earth Vein No. 1103."

Liu Liu Tiezhu asked, "You are coming from Anhe Prefecture, are you not going back to the campus?"

Jiang Jian replied, "Not going back for now."

"Okay," Liu Liu Tiezhu's expression was a bit excited, "Jiang Jian, I found a connection for this learning task, and it was not easy to grab."

"The earth vein resources of Mount Tianzhu have been excavated for hundreds of years."

"Thousands of earth vein branches."

"For most branches, the government will entrust them with heavy money to the cleanup teams in the prefecture."

"Rarely distributed to Divine Gift Universities."

Speaking of this, Liu Liu Tiezhu sent a document.

"This time, excavating the foothills of Mount Tianzhu, a new earth vein branch was discovered."

"Earth Vein No. 1103 is one of them."

"Our Linjiang Academy got this earth vein, made it into a learning task, and shared it between two grades."

"If I hadn't found a connection, this learning task would have been snatched away by the second-year students."

Liu Liu Tiezhu's tone here was a bit self-satisfied.

Jiang Jian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you take more credits, and the four of us will split the rest."

Ordinary students could not receive such an oil-rich learning task.

Liu Liu Tiezhu smiled, "Jiang Jian, according to the private rules, I should take more."

Speaking of this, his tone changed.

"However, the last learning task of repairing buildings."

"You let us each get a few extra pieces of refined iron."

"Several million Alliance Coins is not a small amount."

Liu Liu Tiezhu clicked his tongue, "But you still let it out."

"So, I can't be stingy either."

"This learning task is the attitude I brought out for our learning team."

"All credit rewards and item rewards will be split equally."

Liu Liu Tiezhu said decisively.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, did not say much, and replied, "Okay."

The communication hung up.

Jixue lay on the side, staring at Jiang Jian.

Sensing its gaze.

Jiang Jian turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jixue looked at the sword in his hand, its fur surging, and said, "Your strength is improving too fast, the sword light of this sword makes me fear it from instinct."

Jiang Jian was stunned.

He lowered his gaze and looked at the long sword in his hand.

Spiritual energy was infused inadvertently.

On the Han Guang blade, a cold sharpness spat out.

He had already absorbed most of the river monster's original power.

This improvement in cultivation foundation was very solid and extremely fast.

"With my current Shenque spiritual accumulation."

"Two Prefectures Discussion on Martial Arts, 100,000 freshmen."

"I should be able to get a good ranking."

Jiang Jian's thoughts surged, he put down Han Guang, and let the gray fox carry it to the side.

The learning task, cleaning up Mount Tianzhu, would take 20 days.

His strength would improve again.

"The remaining monster power water mass should be able to be consumed during this time."

Jiang Jian sensed slightly.

Deep in the Shenque, the water mass hovered, with only a small half left.

Wrapped in true fire.

It was still continuously melting into pure, high-quality spiritual energy.

"Similar things are expensive and rare."

Jiang Jian opened the Linjiang network platform and searched for similar monster origins.

"Divine Gift Realm 30%, vegetation monster origin, selling price 2.6 million Alliance Coins."

"Divine Gift Realm 60%, ghost origin, selling price 5.7 million Alliance Coins."

"Divine Gift Realm 70%, spirit monster origin, selling price 8.9 million Alliance Coins."

Seeing this.

Jiang Jian shook his head gently.

These precious cultivation consumables were all sky-high prices.

His current Alliance Coins did not support such luxurious cultivation for the time being.

"Spirit monster origin..."

Abruptly, Jiang Jian's gaze was strange as he looked at Jixue.

The gray fox here had a subsidiary identity device bound, and could see Jiang Jian's browsing history.

Sensing Jiang Jian's gaze.

It immediately tucked its tail and looked vigilant, "I am a rare pet, my practical value far exceeds stripping the spirit monster origin!"

"Don't be nervous."

Jiang Jian was a bit speechless, "No one would do such a loss-making thing."

"I focus on cultivation, and many trivial matters still rely on you to help me."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jian's tone softened.

A gray fox from the academy's Academic Affairs Office, placed outside, was priceless.

Its greatest function was to bind household registration information and use the owner's identity device to handle daily trivial matters.

For those who focus on cultivation, the help is great.

Jixue breathed a sigh of relief, "I have a clansman, when its owner had no money, they slaughtered it, stripped its spirit monster origin, and sold it for Alliance Coins."

Jiang Jian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, even when I have no money, I won't slaughter you."

Jixue asked, "Then what will you do?"

Jiang Jian's expression was calm, "I will go to the government, apply for an identity device for you, and set you free."

Jixue was stunned.

A few seconds later, it carefully opened its mouth, "Is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Jiang Jian asked back.

Jixue shook its head, "I think you value cultivation resources very highly."

Silence for a moment.

Jiang Jian said, "That's true, the cultivation resources I need are all prepared in advance, taking precautions."

"Just like those refined irons, just like the Heavenly Ladder Ranking Tournament, the credits settled every week."

"And the upcoming Two Prefectures Discussion on Martial Arts, the abundant resources rewarded."

"If one day."

"I really reach the point of being at the end of my rope."

Jiang Jian patted its head, "That can only mean one thing."

"That is, I have stopped cultivating."

"By that time."

"Setting you free, what is impossible about that?"

While speaking.

Jiang Jian turned his head and looked out the porthole.

Endless clouds were split open by the flying ship, surging like a tide.

"But it's a pity."

"Things like me stopping cultivation will never happen."

"Perhaps others cultivate, holding government resources, pulling on great righteousness."

"Saying it's for the Four Realms of Earth and Moon, for the sake of guarding the justice of the 'Planetary Treaty'."

"But for me, I cultivate just to live."

"At least that's the case for now."

"So."

Jiang Jian repeated.

"I will never stop cultivating."

"Never."

The Cross-Boundary Shuttle pierced through clouds and mist.

At an extremely fast speed, it streaked across the firmament and disappeared into the Mount Tianzhu orbit.

Outside the Five-Fold Jiangcheng, countless shuttles gathered, stars flowing and surging, bright as day.
