THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
353: Finding a Way to Face Gu Qing
“This time Clear Sky School has revealed some information. Or rather, after asking from the people around, they finally got a lot of information about that disciple.” Xing looked at Gui. “First, they now know his name. I have confirmed from various sources that it is indeed Shang An.”
“Shang An?” Gui looked surprised. “You mean the same Shang An we heard in the Blood Tide Forest? Has he ever been to the Corpse Realm?”
Xing thought for a moment. “It's hard to be sure, but he's from the western region, and there's a Corpse Natural Flower there, so most likely he's been there.”
“So, you mean the outstanding genius in the Corpse Realm is him?” Gui.
"Not necessarily." Liu shook his head. “Time does not match. According to what Xing had said, the extraordinary genius sustained an injury the moment he came out. But the person from the Corpse Realm was not injured at all.”
"That's right." Gui nodded.
“I saw him reach the top, and there were no signs of serious injury. Yet if Shang An was in the Corpse Realm, why wasn't he an outstanding genius? Even the Heaven Extensive Platform acknowledged this person's talent, so why didn't the Heavenly Stele Mountain do the same?”
Even Jiang Hao was confused by that.
Shang An is indeed very strong and talented. So, why was he unable to attract the attention of the Heavenly Stele Mountain?
“How old is Shang An?”
Xing thought for a moment. “I heard that he is already in the Eternal Ascension Realm, so even with his amazing talent, he should be three or four hundred years old.”
And Yuan smiled. “Friend Gui, didn't you say that the last outstanding genius appeared two hundred years ago in the Corpse Realm?”
Gui and the others were all brought back.
As those words fell, the Ghost Fairy and the others were shocked.
Jiang Hao was also surprised. He had never thought about the extraordinary genius from two hundred years ago.
But he is sure now. The outstanding genius at that time was indeed Shang An. He had been to the Corpse Realm twice.
He had arrived at the Blood Tide Forest. That means Shang An might have been in the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Golden Core Realm during that time.novelnExt.com
Thus, in just two hundred years, he had crossed the Primordial Spirit Realm, the Ascension Soul Realm, returned to the Void Realm, and reached the Eternal Realm! He's really scary.
Jiang Hao did not know how many realms he had passed through.
“So, the incredible genius of today is still a mystery.” Gui frowned, then looked at Jiang Hao.
'Don't look at me. I haven't even confirmed that I'm inside the Corpse Realm.' Jiang Hao remained calm.
“Yeah.. whoever it is, it doesn't affect us at all. Then what happens next?” ask Liu.
“Shang An has received the master, but there seems to be a commotion at Clear Sky School. However, that did not prevent him from becoming a True Disciple. He is considered very tall. But few people actually see it. After receiving a master, he seemed to be secluding himself. Many people want to see it at a glance, but they never have a chance.” Xing was quite confused.
Jiang Hao knew the reason. However, with the strength and might of Clear Sky School, they might be able to clear away the poison and misfortune that befell Shang An.
The meeting is over.
Returning to his room, Jiang Hao felt he had not spoken at all during the meeting. He felt a little separated.
But what can he say?
There is not much to discuss, and talking too much can reveal its location.
Nothing important from other sources either.
He stopped thinking about it and took out a book to record the secret method of finding traces of luck.
When Hong Yuye came to visit, he could ask her to take a look.
He tried to gather his thoughts.
First, there is a new task to find the trail of luck. This may catch the attention of some people, including Gui. He should be careful.
Second, he had completed Xing's task of finding Gu Qing's whereabouts and enlisted Xing's help to find out more about The End of All Things.
The rest doesn't mean much. Shang An's situation won't affect him, so everything is fine.
Even if Gui had any doubts about that extraordinary genius, he had no proof.
If it could improve their perception of him, it was a bonus. That's a good thing.
As long as they did not guess his true identity, he did not mind them speculating.
Jiang Hao suddenly got an idea.
'The “Forging Hand” is a unique talent. Could it be that he took the treasure from Gu Qing's body?'
Jiang Hao stored his belongings and went to the courtyard.
He took out a Half-moon Sword. He then smeared dust on it.
'If this is really possible, how can I explain how I know this? Gu Qing connected with Xing. Mi Lingyue connected with Liu. If I do this, they may realize it.'
After smearing the dirt on his blade, Jiang Hao took out some unused sub-rings and covered them with soil.
Right now, he was still thinking about Mi Lingyue.
‘I should not take the initiative in this matter. However, since the other party's reputation is high, I might be able to ask him the Heavenly Note Sect after some time. Then I can intervene.'
Not being able to face Gu Qing did not mean that he could not face Mi Lingyue. But he could not say much because the information was limited.
Even if Mi Lingyue left and Gu Qing was taken away, it would not have too great of an impact on her.
But there's one important thing. What can he gain from this?
He rolled all the other sub-rings into the ground.
Jiang Hao then took out the Pearl of Heavenly Fate and the shards of the Extreme Earth Heart-Eating Pearl.
He also took out the stone tablet.
He also took out a nameless and hesitant manual.
Then the Nine Heavens Battle Armor and the Nine Heavens Wrist Protector were removed.
He tried everything, just in case wiping it might actually trigger a bubble pop.
This way, he did not need to risk going to the mine at all.
He also did not need to go to the Spirit Herb Garden.
He can focus on making amulets.
Then he continued wiping after getting two golden bubbles and one more treasure.
After everything was sorted out, he thought about Gu Qing again.
'This might not bring great benefits, but it might attract the attention of seniors. Maybe it will save my life someday. What if one day I was locked in the Lawless Tower? The seniors will probably be my saviors. Moreover, completing the task given by Elder Baizhi was always a good idea to note in his good book. But I can't get carried away. I need more information.For now, all I need to focus on is the Spirit Potion Garden and make sure I don't go out.'
After tidying up the courtyard, Jiang Hao looked towards the moonlight and wondered if the spirit beasts and Xiao Li were having fun outside the sect.
It was not that he was worried about their safety, but that he was worried that they would bring trouble to him.
He didn't have to worry about Cheng Chou. He had escorted Xiao Li out of the sect several times.
This was also the second time the spirit beast had come out. The first time it came out, it caused some trouble with the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.
This time, who knows who might be offended?
Jiang Hao sighed. Spirit beings do not let everything pass by. Jiang Hao felt uncomfortable..
