THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
226: Lawless Tower
The matter of the outer sect Spirit Potion Garden was not very significant. Jiang Hao was not worried about what Xia Cheng would do or say.
Moreover, from the recent meeting, it was clear that Xia Cheng was someone who valued her life. So, it can be assumed that he will not take any risks.
The reason he caused trouble for others was because of his suddenly elevated status. He was appointed as the person in charge of the Spirit Potion Garden, and the others were trying to stay on his good side. It flashed through his head, especially since no one else had a higher cultivation than him.
Power is addictive, and makes people reckless. Jiang Hao faced the same problem every time he advanced to a new stage or a new realm. The allure of power and strength often makes him arrogant.
Fortunately, Poison Gu of Heaven Extinction often kept him calm in such situations. However, this is not a long-term solution. He needed to use the poison to train his mind while he could.
In the future, he could rid himself of the poison without causing any significant damage to himself.
'Right now, I don't need to frequent the Spirit Potion Garden of the outer sect.
Cheng Chou can handle it. Afterwards, the traitor might start contacting Cheng Chou to find the location of the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower. Then he might come looking for me. I don't know if he will try to recruit me for his goals or attack me directly…'
Roughly speaking, there were three types of people who were eyeing the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.
The first type of traitor is often the dumbest traitor. They're gonna try to steal the flower. No one had done that yet, but Jiang Hao was unsure if the new spy was that type.
The second type were Liu Xingchen and Ming Yi, who often tried to establish contact with him and turn him into their destination. Some do it for the sake of flowers, and others do it just for entertainment.
Some do it for the sake of flowers, and others do it just for entertainment.
The third type was Hua Le from the Blackheaven Sect, who was observing from afar. Jiang Hao discovered the name when he appraised Xuanyuan Tai. So far, he had not found any more information about the person named Hua Le. They are very good at hiding.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao went to the library. He looked at the old man in charge of the library and gave him spirit stones.
"I remember you. What do you want to ask this time?” The old man silently pocketed the spirit stone.
“I want to know which book contains the most comprehensive records about the sect,” said Jiang Hao.
“Book with the most complete notes about the sect?”
The old man thought for a moment and then said, “Get up and look for a book called “Mountain and Ocean Biography.” Maybe it has what you're looking for. Lately, many people have come here to look for books because of the mission of the sect.’
The old man smiled. He has gained quite a lot in the last few days. His knowledge of this place finally paid off.
Everyone was able to take out spirit stones to obtain information, and the old man was not greedy.
Jiang Hao went up to the third floor and found many people there.
The old man was right. Everyone was looking for information about that mysterious seed.
After searching for a while, Jiang Hao found “Mountain Biography and Lautan”. He quickly read the pages. It was a travel record that recorded information about the various sects.
He finally found a page detailing the Divine Corpse Sect.
“Secte big in north region. His cultivation technique is strange and includes clones.”.
Jiang Hao frowned. 'Is that everything?'
However, the information surprised him. How could someone from the northern region know about the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower from the Heavenly Note Sect?
'Is the Divine Corpse Sect related to the Corpse Natural Flower?' Jiang Hao wondered.
He recalled the previous attacks carried out by powerful individuals.
'I cannot ask people from the stone tablets…'
But he thinks it's a bad idea. What if Dan Yuan is suspicious? If Dan Yuan had a close relationship with the Divine Corpse Sect, he might find out that Jiang Hao was from the Heavenly Note Sect.
Jiang Hao opened the page about the Blackheaven Sect.
The Blackheaven Sect was not as big as the Divine Corpse Sect. It seemed that this last sect was of great importance. Their cultivation technique was something to watch out for.
Dealing with clones is troublesome. Its main body was difficult to capture, and killing the clones produced nothing.
Afterwards, Jiang Hao looked for the Red Feather Divine Pill. It is only briefly mentioned in one book, without details of its impact.
He went to look for the old man and gave him another spirit stone. The man refused.
The old man cleared his throat and looked at Jiang Hao with a smile. “I may have many things, but nave is not one of them. Just ask what you want to know.”
“I saw a pill called the Red Feather Divine Pill in one of the books. What kind of pill is that?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Pil Divine Red Fur?” The old man lowered his head and thought hard. “It was supposed to be a healing pill. It is made of the bird of gods. There are no such birds around, let alone in our sect. It was doubtful whether the pill existed throughout the entire southern region. There are only a few notes about it.”
"So that's it." Jiang Hao thanked him and left.
He intended to ask about the price of the pill. Since it was not found in the southern region, he did not dare to ask it.
However, the various sects had deep reserves, so there might still be a chance to find it somewhere.
As Jiang Hao left the library, he saw communication talismans flying towards him.
He reached out to receive it. “Go to the Tower Without Law. Someone wants to meet you,” Elder Baizhi's voice said.
'The Lawless Tower?'
Jiang Hao could not think of anyone there who wanted to meet him. However, he could not break the orders of Elder Baizhi.
Shortly after, he arrived near the Lawless Tower. He walked to the front of the tower.
The tower stands on the mountain. It has thirteen floors. It looked majestic and unpleasant. It was hard to imagine how such a tower could snatch away all that one loved.
In front of the tower, Jiang Hao looked at Zhou Chan.
“Young Brother Jiang, you came quickly.” Zhou Chan, dressed in white, walked towards him.
“Senior brother Zhou, are you waiting for me?” Jiang Hao asked.
“This is what the Elder asked me to give you. It's about your mission.” Zhou
Chan handed her an envelope.
Jiang Hao sensed the faint power emanating from the envelope. It was to prevent others from interfering.
“Young Brother Jiang, you can open it with your identity token.” Zhou Chan said goodbye to her and left.
After bidding farewell to Senior Brother Zhou, Jiang Hao opened the envelope.
“Go to the fifth floor of the Tower Without Law. Enter the Special Prison, Room Number One, and meet people who want flowers in your yard. Try to find out more about the person's background, goals, and for whom he works without revealing too much information.”
Jiang Hao continued reading and found some basic information about the imprisoned person. He was from the Divine Corpse Sect!
Jiang Hao sighed. 'As expected, the recent spies and missions of the sect] are related to the Divine Corpse Sect..'
