Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Henry Zhang pondered for a moment and asked: "How to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. Fellow Daoist Zhang sold all his elixirs to my Cao family."

"Sell them all to the Cao family? Then can I still sell my Tianshou Pill for 3,000 kilograms each?"

"Of course no problem."

"If you sell a few dozen Tianshou Pills, they can be sold for 3,000 kilograms of Shenyi Blood Mine. What if you sell a few hundred pills?"

"Hahaha... Taoist friend can indeed refine the Tianshou Pill. Let alone hundreds, even thousands, my Cao family can afford it, and the price will remain the same."

This time it was Henry Zhang's turn to be shocked.

"There are only 59 mine openings in this mining area. One or two hundred Tianshou Dan can feed the market. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Cao means by thousands of pills?"

"It is true that this mining area only has 59 mine openings. What about other mining areas?"

"The eight aristocratic families control secret passages to other mining areas?"

"It's not the eight great families, it's my Cao family."

"How many routes do you have?"

"More than ten."

"So many? It can lead to more than ten mine entrances."

"Not only is it the entrance of the mine, our Cao family also controls a passage leading to Jiazi Prison."

Henry Zhang was startled, and then said vigilantly: "This is a top secret. Fellow Taoist Cao said it like this. What does it mean?"

"Of course it is to show the sincerity of our Cao family. No matter what Daoyou Zhang's purpose is, our Cao family can only benefit you and do no harm to you."

"What if I want to say that my purpose is to escape from here?"

"Hahaha..." Cao Xu laughed loudly, "In this underground mine, the total number of slaves in each mining area is no less than one million. Which slave doesn't want to escape?"

"Does the Cao family have connections?"

"Brother Zhang was told about the secret passage just now, which is the secret passage leading to Jiazi Prison."

"Reach to Prison A and then escape through Prison A?"

"Yes."

"Where are we now?"

"This is a plan that has been planned by my Cao family for hundreds of years. How could I just reveal everything to Fellow Daoist Zhang like this?"

"Except for the Cao family, do the other seven aristocratic families know about this passage?"

"Hahaha..." Cao Xu laughed a little crazy, "There are no other seven aristocratic families now, only our Cao family is the only one."

"What do you mean?" Henry Zhang was surprised.

"As early as three hundred years ago, the heads of the other seven aristocratic families were killed by my Cao family. The current seven aristocratic families are just puppets supported by my Cao family."

After hearing this, Henry Zhang was even more shocked, as if he was struck by five thunders.

Unexpectedly, the eight major families in the underground mining area have all been annexed by the Cao family.

"Since we have annexed the other seven major families, why not just expand and unify this mining area."

"You put it lightly, do you think the Holy Land will not interfere? The Holy Land is trying to find ways to sow discord among the eight aristocratic families, and also provides support to these families to keep them balanced, just to prevent one family from becoming dominant."

"The mastermind behind this is indeed the Holy Land."

"The Holy Land holds the eight aristocratic families in the palm of its hand like a puppet, and uses the eight aristocratic families to squeeze the mining slaves, dig out more divine wing blood mines, and harvest them away. Don't you know that our Cao family has planned for hundreds of years and will not be controlled by others. "

"These are all top secrets in the Cao family. Is this what Fellow Taoist Cao is telling me?"

"Although our Cao family controls this mining area, we still have to be at the mercy of the Holy Land, just because the Holy Land controls the lifeblood of the underground mining area."

"Are you talking about the magic pill?"

"Yes, it is extremely difficult to grow elixirs in underground mining areas, and the elixirs are also extremely rare. We have to spend a lot of Divine Wings blood ore to buy elixirs from the Holy Land. The Holy Land relies on the elixirs time and time again to buy the remaining elixirs in the underground mines. Divine Wing Blood Mine is being acquired.”

"Nowadays, mining in underground mining areas is getting more and more difficult. Only in the depths of the mining area, where the five elements of evil are strong, can the Divine Wing Blood Mine be dug. The eight aristocratic families... No, it is what the Cao family relies on to support so many people in the family. Mining slaves?"

This is also what Henry Zhang has always been puzzled about.

He and his Taoist companion Bu Yueling can dig 1,500 kilograms of minerals every day, just because he has practiced the magic wing magic skill and is not afraid of the evil spirits of the five elements.

If he had not practiced the Divine Wing Demonic Skill, he would not have mined more than 300 kilograms per day.

"Among the eight great aristocratic families, the Jiang family is good at the art of puppetry. After the Jiang family was destroyed, the art of puppetry was inherited by my Cao family. Now our Cao family has been able to refine third-level puppets, so this divine wing blood mine, For my Cao family, there is no shortage."

"What is the ultimate goal of the Cao family?"

"Of course, we need to escape. No one wants to let his children and grandchildren stay in this underground mine forever as slaves. However, our Cao family currently needs a lot of elixirs to cultivate and enhance the family's strength. Brother Zhang should be able to trust me now." Is the Cao family sincere in cooperating? "

"If we cooperate, can the Divine Wing blood mine be enough?"

"Hahaha... Brother Zhang, don't worry. The Divine Wing Blood Mine is the most insignificant thing to my Cao family. It's enough."

"In this case, let's reach a preliminary cooperation first. These are the elixirs I have refined during this period. Please take a look at them, Fellow Daoist Cao."

With that said, Henry Zhang took out the remaining Tianshou Pill, Tiansha Pill, Five Elements Xiaoqi Pill, Zuowang Pill, and Nine Fragrance Glazed Pill.

"Brother Zhang is indeed a happy person!"

As he spoke, Cao Xu also took out the exchange items.

A pound of Enlightenment Tea, a section of Fire Yang Spirit Wood, and a fist-sized piece of Geng Gold.

"Brother Zhang, do you think these three things are enough to exchange for the pills you have on hand?" Cao Xu asked.

"Can I check this?"

"Of course you can."

Zhang Xuan picked up the enlightenment tea and smelled it. It was indeed the real thing.

There were still fire-attribute Dao patterns on the Huoyang Spirit Wood, which was no problem.

Gengjin is known for its hardness.

He picked it up directly, held it in his palm, and operated the Dao seeds. With his strength comparable to that of a Yuanying, Gengjin did not break.

He put Gengjin on the table and said, "No problem, deal."

"Okay..."

At this time, Cao Xu glanced at the Gengjin on the table and found a finger print on it.

"How is it possible?!" Cao Xu was horrified.

The other party was obviously a middle-stage Jindan cultivator, but he could leave a finger print on Gengjin just by relying on his physical strength.

This shows that the other party's physical strength is probably not weaker than that of a Yuanying.

"This transaction is very pleasant. I hope that Brother Zhang can refine more pills next time."

"Okay."

Cao Xu left.

Bu Yueling came out again.

Seeing Cao Xu walk away.

Bu Yueling asked: "Husband, that Cao Xu has revealed all the biggest secrets of their Cao family. Isn't he afraid that we will tell on him?"

"We have no motive to tell on him, and the Cao family is also sure that we don't have the strength to tell on him. After all, this underground mining area is now ruled by the Cao family."

"Then wasn't it too risky for husband to trade all the elixirs to the Cao family just now?"

"Of course I know, but I left a fingerprint on Gengjin, and he should have seen it, so he won't do anything bad to us for the time being."

"I'm still a little worried."
