THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
249: Taking the Name of your Family
On the same afternoon, Cheng Chou and the others returned.
“Master, I'm back! I brought you some presents!”
The beast leaped in front of Jiang Hao and gave him some fruit. “Master, take one!”
Jiang Hao took one and bit him. It seems to taste very bitter.
Fifteen spirit stones simply disappeared.
Xiao Li lowered his head and approached Jiang Hao. He handed her a bag of cookies.
“This was left by. I didn't eat it.”
"Why?" Jiang Hao asked as he took the cake.
Xiao Li played the end of his shirt restlessly. “He used to say that if I gave it all to you, he would give me even more next time. He is no longer there to produce more.. ”.
"So that's it." Jiang Hao accepted it. "Thank you."
“This one is from Father..” Xiao Li handed the bamboo shoot to Jiang Hao. “Can I plant it somewhere?”
“I'll help you plant it.” Jiang Hao recalled the bamboo shoots he had helped dig by Xiao Li's father on the mountain.
His home page has a lot of stuff, and one more bamboo shoot won't make a difference.
“Also...” Xiao Li hesitated for a moment. “Mother says you are my family if anything happens to her. He told me that if they died, I should take your family name. Senior Brother Jiang, please call me Jiang Xiao Li from now on.”
Jiang Hao was surprised, but he nodded. “If you don't mind, I don't mind either.”
"really?" Xiao Li was surprised. “So... are you my older brother from now on?” Jiang Hao fell silent, but he nodded.
After the beast and Xiao Li left, Jiang Hao turned to Cheng Chou. “Tell me about your trip.”
This time, Cheng Chou looked a little disheveled, but he was unharmed.
“After you leave, the spirit beast suddenly appears. With the help of the villagers, the funeral went well. However, Young Brother Xiao Li seemed to be in denial for several days. He kept saying that his parents would wake up. No one knows what to say to him. Without the spirit beast, I don't know what I'll do either. After the burial, Young Sister Xiao Li stayed inside the house and refused to leave.”
“He doesn't talk to anyone. He's completely different than before. He did not smile or jump. Fortunately, the spirit beasts comforted him through his grief. He tearfully handed over the chicken and duck that his parents kept. He also distributed fishing nets and boats. He couldn't give me his farm equipment. He kept saying that if his parents came back, they would feel sad to see their equipment gone.”
Cheng Chou sighed. “After that, we clean the house, wash the bed, and close the door behind us. Every few steps, Young Sister Xiao Li kept looking back as if she was hoping to see her parents waving at her.” Jiang Hao listened calmly as he ate the red bean cake.
"Then?" Jiang Hao asked.
“The journey is relatively smooth. The moment we were about to arrive, the beast went to pick some fruits to make Xiao Li happy. When it resurfaced, I realized that it had caused a problem in someone. Fortunately, no one followed us. The fruit was too bitter, so Xiao Li did not eat it..
‘So... it's just the rest. I really thought it was the beast that brought it to me.'
Jiang Hao understood the situation. The spirit beast was neither rash nor stupid. It was just that those who saw him happened to recognize him.
He headed to the Candlelight Pill Pavilion and handed the fruits to Lian Daozhi and apologized.
Lian Daozhi gave him two hundred spirit stones in return.
Jiang Hao used it to purchase some Foundation Establishment Pills and handed them to Cheng Chou. He was thinking of dividing two hundred spirit stones into three equal parts and distributing them to Xiao Li, Cheng Chou, and the beast. However, that beast and Xiao Li did not need spirit stones.
Cheng Chou had done well over the past few years, so Jiang Hao bought him some pills. Cheng Chou was overjoyed.
He only received twenty spirit stones per month. It took him a year to store enough spirit stones to buy pills.
Afterwards, Jiang Hao went to meet Han Ming and explained his intentions.
Han Ming was very happy to be able to exchange places with Jiang Hao. He did not like working with spirit herbs. He would rather be adventurous at any time than stay at home and farm. If not for him not being able to resist the mission given to him, he would have been out a long time ago.
Late that night, Jiang Hao managed to accept the mission of the sect. They're going on a mission next month.
In the Southern Heavenly Prefecture, Bi Zhu sat in the hall, waiting for the next news.
He learned from Jing that the dragon was in the Huangsha River.
However, after observing for a while, he did not find anything out of the ordinary about the Huangsha River. There was no reason for the dragon to wander there.
He'll reach the right location. He won't be delayed for more than a few days.
‘I still can't believe he's capable and can complete the mission in front of me.’
Bi Zhu wanted to see it for himself. He waited anxiously. A moment later, the sound of a bird was heard.
She smiles. 'Finally got here!'
He walked out to see an immortal stork landing in the courtyard.
As he approached, the stork flapped its wings, and a roll of sheepskin fell to the ground.
Bi Zhu took the scroll, threw the bottle to the ground, and entered the house.
The stork saw a bottle lying on the ground. He obediently took it and turned to leave.
As he left, he shouted furiously towards the house.
The explosion!
Lightning snatched the stork, burning half its feathers.
“If it wasn't for your master, you would be having dinner tonight,” Bi Zhu said from inside the house.
The stork let out a sad cry and immediately fled.
Bi Zhu sat down at the table and unrolled the sheepskin.
Inside was a map of Hidden Cloud Prefecture. A red circle marks a location on the map with the following words:
“Location exactly the dragon.”
The circle surrounds a river. That marks the top
Huangsha River!
Bi Zhu was surprised. Jing's right!
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to immediately set out to see if he could find what he was looking for.
If the dragon was indeed there, then Jing was not as simple as he had imagined.
Returning to his inn, Jiang Hao took out the stone tablet and observed it for a while.
He discovers that Gui has finally found his location.
[Gui: I found the location of the dragon. Jing's right! I'm heading to the Huangsha River right now.]
[Liu: Really? That's impressive! I'm still developing my clone. That was very difficult. I want to find another way!]
Seeing them chatting, Jiang Hao wanted to tell them that there was indeed a better way, but he could not do it. Not yet anyway. Maybe next time..
