Ji Haoyuan took a rough look.

He found that the storage bag containing the Golden Essence Stones was quite abundant in quantity.

It seems that this batch of Golden Essence Stones they mined hasn't had the chance to be sent to the Netherworld Sect.

This truly worked out in his favor.

Especially those two pieces of Golden Essence Spirit Marrow.

One of them was just right to repair and enhance his Crimson Flame Patterned Spear.

"Let's go, to see the Golden Evil Essence Fruit, I believe it should be ripe by now."

Putting away the storage bag in his hand, Ji Haoyuan stood up and walked directly toward the Golden Essence Stone mine.

The others followed suit when they saw this.

Soon, inside the Golden Essence Stone mine.

Ji Haoyuan looked at a fruit tree in front of him with a whole body flowing with golden light and glittering with a precious luster, knowing that this should be the second-tier highest grade Spirit Plant, the Primordial Evil Gold Tree.

He saw that on this tree, there were three fruits hanging, emitting a sharp aura, and their bodies also bore a flowing golden color.

It was the very Golden Evil Essence Fruit.

A spiritual object capable of purifying the filth within one's magical power, refining and purifying it.

Ji Haoyuan did not hesitate too much and immediately reached out to pluck all three Golden Evil Essence Fruits.

Afterward, he began to consider how to go about transplanting the Primordial Evil Gold Tree before him.

Based on the growth conditions of the Primordial Evil Gold Tree, leaving it in the Golden Essence Stone mine was undoubtedly the best choice.

But this Golden Essence Stone mine would not belong to him in the future.

Even if it was given to him, neither he nor the Ji Family had the strength to guard such a resource.

He couldn't possibly stay here indefinitely to guard the mine, right?

That was absolutely impossible.

In this situation, only considering the growth conditions of the Primordial Evil Gold Tree and leaving it to remain here would be very foolish.

No matter how good something is, if it doesn't belong to oneself, it holds no value to oneself.

Therefore.

His next move was to ensure the survival of the Primordial Evil Gold Tree while transplanting it to the Ji Family.

Whether the tree might be damaged in the process, he couldn't care too much about that for now.

Luckily, with his current proficiency as a second-tier Spirit Plant cultivator.

Ensuring the survival of the Primordial Evil Gold Tree wouldn't be much of an issue.

About seven or eight days later.

Outside of Youquan Valley.

Suddenly, several escape lights approached.

These people were the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yuan Guang City, tasked with taking over this Golden Essence Stone mine.

The leader was his "old acquaintance" Su Wen Yuan.

Next to him was another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Yinchuan, who was the one responsible for leading the Ji Family cultivators when they departed Yuan Guang City that day.

When they met, there were no melodramatic incidents; instead, they were quite courteous to each other.

Especially Su Wen Yuan and Song Yinchuan, who smiled throughout.

During the transfer of the Golden Essence Stone mine, no obstacles arose.

Both Su Wen Yuan and Song Yinchuan tacitly decided not to inquire about the previous mining situation.

Everything proceeded according to the standards set when the mine was first discovered.

Once all procedures were concluded, Ji Haoyuan and his party did not linger.

After bidding farewell to Su Wen Yuan and Song Yinchuan, they temporarily returned to the location of the Red Jade Spiritual Ore.

About ten days later.

Ji Haoyuan and his group finally returned to Yuan Guang City.

He sent Ji Qingfei and others to the task hall to hand over their respective tasks.

Ji Haoyuan himself headed to the location of Master Binghuo's residence.

He knew that for this matter, he needed to personally meet with Master Binghuo.

This was both an explanation and an attitude.

Sure enough.

When Ji Haoyuan appeared outside the residence of Master Binghuo, the restrictions did not hinder him, allowing him to enter the cave dwelling.

"Junior greets the True Man!"

Ji Haoyuan immediately stepped forward and bowed to Master Binghuo.

The woman in a plain long dress, Master Binghuo, did not speak but stood quietly with her back to Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan didn't explain, maintaining his posture of salutation.

"Alright."

After a short while.

Master Binghuo finally spoke.

"You may rise."

With that, she turned around.

Her star-like bright eyes finally fell upon Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan quickly responded by offering a storage bag.

"True Man, in this bag are the corpses of the five late-Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Netherworld Sect that I promised to you.

There are also some opportunities I gained after occupying the Golden Essence Stone mine this time.

Please take a look, True Man."

He was well aware that what he called opportunities were probably insignificant to Master Binghuo.

But whether Master Binghuo cared was one matter, and whether he had shown enough attitude was another.

"You do have a heart."

Master Binghuo took the storage bag from Ji Haoyuan, glanced at it, and then returned it to him.

"Since it is an opportunity you obtained, you should keep it for yourself.

Additionally, about the thing you did at the City Lord's Hall previously..."

At this point, Master Binghuo's tone paused slightly.

She looked at Ji Haoyuan, whose expression remained unchanged, and finally said calmly.

"Don't let it happen again."

With those words from Master Binghuo, Ji Haoyuan, whose expression showed little change but whose heart was slightly tense, finally relaxed.

With Master Binghuo's words, he knew that the matter of him killing Yuan Shanglong in front of so many people had truly passed.

He responded seriously: "Yes, I will remember the True Man's teachings."

Master Binghuo waved her hand.

"No need to say more about this.

What you've done at the Golden Essence Stone mine is indeed a great contribution to the Crimson Sunset Sect.

After the battle is over, you can go to the task hall and exchange for whatever you want.

However, since you acted under my orders, I should also make a gesture.

Of the items I previously showed you, you can choose one according to your needs."

As she spoke, projections of various treasures, cultivation techniques, and pills appeared before Ji Haoyuan again.

Ji Haoyuan felt a trace of joy in his heart.

He knew that, after these consecutive events, he had actually established a certain connection with Master Binghuo.

It was no longer the previous weak relationship of repaying a favor.

This was what he valued most now.

With this in mind, Ji Haoyuan no longer hesitated, scanning the projections before him and immediately selecting one of them.

It was also something he had wanted for a long time.

The third-tier treasure, Heaven-Falling Fire Crystal.

The greatest function of this item was that it could be used to refine embryos of fire attribute magical treasures.
