“This place, although very dangerous, also holds great opportunities. There are things inside that are currently very useful for both you and me.” Ghostly Girl was a bit embarrassed; she had spent so long considering it before, but it turned out he wasn’t interested at all.

“What is it, cultivation techniques, money, potions, or equipment?” Jack Harper asked.

“As far as I know, there are at least cultivation techniques inside. I’m not sure about potions. As for equipment, there should be star array cards, but those aren’t very important for you all.” Ghostly Girl said.

“Star array cards…” Jack Harper hesitated for a moment. Star array cards were indeed good things, and equipment he would definitely need in the future.

A star array card, as the name suggests, is a card with a star array inscribed on it. By using star power, you can activate the array’s effect and unleash a pure energy attack, maximizing the power of star force.

But star array cards require a certain amount of star power to activate. Otherwise, the attack released won’t be very strong. For now, Jack Harper didn’t need them; maybe when he reached the Star Soldier level, they’d be useful.

Unless it’s a defensive star array card, like forming a defensive shield—those are useful even at the Star Disciple level.

“I don’t need them right now, and at the beginning, basic star array cards are enough for me. Basic star array cards are relatively easy to get.” Jack Harper said. If not, I’ll just make them myself. With a brain as powerful as mine, making a star array card is a piece of cake.

I didn’t want to use this to make money before, but making them for myself is fine.

“There are also many cave-dwelling star beasts inside. You came here to hunt star beasts anyway, so this won’t delay your plans.” Ghostly Girl said.

“You should have said so earlier. Let’s go!” Jack Harper said immediately.

“……”

Just think about it—there are so many star beasts inside. Even if he couldn’t beat them now, at least he’d know this grinding spot for the future.

So, Jack Harper set off together with Ghostly Girl. On the way, the two exchanged names, but didn’t talk about each other’s backgrounds.

Ghostly Girl was called Shadow, though who knows if that’s real. And Shadow thought Jack Harper’s name was just as casual, not sounding like a real name.

If Jack Harper knew what she was thinking, he’d definitely roast Shadow—this is the famous Young Master Xiaobai, the top of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period, and you say his name is too casual?

Chapter 15: You Definitely Aren’t a Good Person

Deep in the mountains, Jack Harper and Shadow were walking along a cliff, or rather, on a tiny path jutting out from the cliff.

“How much longer do we have to walk?” Jack Harper asked very seriously.

“Almost there, just one more day!” Shadow replied with a smile.

“Come on, are you messing with me? You said yesterday it would be one more day!” Jack Harper immediately said. “I thought it would only take a day or two, but it’s been four or five days and we’re still not there. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come!”

Although Jack Harper wanted to know about the grinding spot, if it was too far away, it was pointless. He could have found plenty of star beasts outside in this time.

It’s called a grinding spot, but this isn’t a game—there’s no respawn. Kill one, and there’s one less!

And along the way, they hadn’t encountered any star beasts. There were traces, but it wasn’t a good time to leave and track them. Jack Harper felt it was a pity; he could have hunted a few by now, and his star spirit would be even stronger.

If there’s no benefit this time, I’ll bury this ghost clan woman in the back mountain.

“When you were injured and poisoned, how did you manage to run such a long distance?” Jack Harper asked again. For every extra day, he’d ask again, and the answer was always the same.

“I don’t know!”

Forget it, let’s keep going. After so many days, what’s one more?

Well, that was his thought a few days ago. He’d already spent so much time on this, he felt he had to see it through, even if it had only been a day at first.

Luckily, this time a day really was a day. After one more day, the two arrived at an inconspicuous mountainside and entered an equally inconspicuous cave. But inside, it was a whole different world.

They wound through the cave for half a day and finally arrived at a cavern with a massive space!

How massive? The building in the center said it all—a pyramid-shaped stone structure about thirty meters high, covering at least a thousand square meters.

The building was ancient and weathered, but still exuded a majestic aura. Judging by the style, it was likely a relic from ancient times.

And the cave was big enough to hold such a building without feeling cramped; on the contrary, it still felt spacious. That alone showed how large the cavern was.

According to the map in Jack Harper’s mind, he should now be inside the belly of another mountain, and the building’s elevation was almost at ground level.

But none of that was what Jack Harper cared about. What he cared about now was—
