In the southern region, somewhere in the Southern Heavenly Prefecture, a woman dressed in yellow descended from the air.
On the edge of the mountain peak, a white-haired middle-aged man looked at the woman and smiled. “Mistress Bi Zhu, you came quite early.”
"How's that?" Bi Zhu asked as he landed on the ground.
The middle-aged man handed a scroll to her. “I marked the area here. It was a secluded place in Hidden Cloud Prefecture.”
Taking the scroll, Madam Bi Zhu carefully inspected it and found that there were three countless rivers and mountains marked inside the covered area. There are some cities too.
“The area is very wide,” he said.
“Indeed quite big,” said the middle-aged man. “It takes about a month to accurately determine the location. Since you don't plan on going there personally, I'm assuming you'll assign someone else to do the task. The person may not find the exact location on time.”
Madam Bi Zhu nodded.
“Then let's finish the payment next time. This time it is not me who will take action, so he will not be on guard,” he said as he left his flying sword.
“A month from now, I will have the crane send its location to you. Then don't forget to pay the price,” said the middle-aged man.
“Of course,” said Mrs Bi Zhu.
Soon, he returned to his temporary residence.
After activating the formation around him, he took out the stone tablet. He frowned as he looked at the text there.
'Jing has not been in the chat for a long time... He just showed up at the meeting. Is he busy, or is he deliberately avoiding us?'
Lady Bi Zhu's eyebrows were tightly knitted. Without any contact, it was difficult to gauge Jing's intentions. People who deliberately avoid contact are busy or trying to hide something.
'It's okay. It's been almost six months. The next meeting may be coming soon. I can ask Jing to help and find out how capable she is.'
After that, Lady Bi Zhu entered the stone tablets. The code name is still “Gui.”
In Hidden Cloud Prefecture, on the Broken Heart Cliff, Jiang Hao appeared in the living room of his home.
He then walked into the courtyard and stopped in front of the Eternal Peach Tree. The cold wind ruffled his hair.
He brews tea for himself and sits on a wooden chair. He poured himself a cup.
Jiang Hao hoped that old man Xiao Li would entrust his care to him. He knew they were at the end of their lives. However, he would not take care of her indefinitely. Once he became strong enough to take care of himself, he would let him take his own path. He planned the same for spirit beasts.
If they don't come back, that's good. But if they did, it would be a problem for him.
With their talent, they would even surpass his cultivation realm. If they caused trouble, others would chase after him because he was their master. His dream of living peacefully would be disrupted.
In short, the more people close to him, the more troublesome he became.
The courtyard was too small to accommodate the great demon and True Dragon.
Jiang Hao lifted the teacup to his lips and took a sip. After that, he wanted to cultivate. He had almost reached the final stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Once he reached the final stage, his cultivation would be on par with Bai Ye. Even if he could not kill him, Jiang Hao needed to find a way to severely injure him.
He could not let Bai Ye begin the challenge of using the title of one of the sect's best disciples. That will complicate matters. He had to do everything in his power to prevent Bai Ye from becoming one of the top ten disciples.
If Bai Ye continued to become stronger, it was hard to tell what techniques she would develop.
Once they became too difficult to pass, it would be too troublesome for Jiang Hao. The only way is to push it.
In his room, Jiang Hao assessed the situation and started cultivating.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 24]
[Steel Cultivation: Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Sound, Heart Hong Meng
Sutras]
[Divine Ability: The Substitution of the Death of the Nine Revolutions (unique), Daily Valuation, Daily Valuation,
Clear and Pure Heart, Re-emergence of Hidden Spirit, Divine Power]
[Blood of Life: 3/100 (Cannot be processed)] [Cultivation: 2/100 (Cannot be processed)]
[Divine Capability: 2/3 (Unobtainable)]
Jiang Hao was saddened to see his points. The number is very low.
After reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, it proved increasingly difficult to obtain the blue bubbles.
If he knew that the award for the Corpse Natural Flower would fall to his head, he would cultivate the flower himself. At least that way, he'll get some bubbles.
What was even more frustrating was that the twelve Corpse Realm Flowers resonated with each other and absorbed the spiritual energy in the surroundings as food. They don't need treatment.
Jiang Hao sighed. It was like the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower. When he left, the spirit beast took care of the flower, and he could not get any bubbles at all.
If not for the bubble, why would Jiang Hao choose to work in the Spirit Herb Garden?
It reminded him of the days when he was still an outer sect disciple. It took him many years to accumulate points in order to advance in his cultivation.
After becoming an inner sect disciple, his progress was much faster.
After planting the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower, his progress was even faster.
The best way to get bubbles is through mining. It also helped Jiang Hao greatly.
All of these factors were how he could progress from the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
However, he came back to a dead end. It may take hundreds of years to solve a problem with people who hate it. The most urgent thing right now is to continue to increase his cultivation.
He wished he could get one more purple bubble so that he could gain another divine ability.
After returning home, Jiang Hao did not think about the Xiao Li family anymore. The problem had already reached this point, and he accepted it. It's time to continue.
It was not easy for Xiao Li. Jiang Hao hoped that the spirit beast could make him feel better.
Jiang Hao was helpless in that. He had never had such a bond with anyone, but Xiao Li was different. He has a family that loves him. It was a place where he could feel safe and comfortable. His parents were always looking forward to his return at all times.
There was good food for him at home, some were telling stories at night, and some were digging bamboo shoots just for him..
But now, everything is gone.
Xiao Li would not have a home to return to. He didn't want anyone to share his story with.
Jiang Hao closed his eyes and calmed his mind. Purple energy surrounded him, and he began to refine his cultivation.
After seven days, Jiang Hao returned to his previous way of life.
The Hidden Heaven Secrets Talisman had also expired, and its effects were gone. Jiang Hao was in no hurry to take on the duties of the Law Enforcement Hall any time soon. He'll pay it back later.
There's three more months. The Eternal Peach Tree might not last long.
Peach trees are already flowering. In less than three months, the plant will bear fruit. At that time, Jiang Hao would be able to figure out how many spirit stones he needed for the other incarnations.
The next morning, Jiang Hao felt a rock tablet shake in his pocket. He took it out to see what happened. And Yuan called everyone to gather.
