Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After waiting for some time, Jiang Hao finally met the newcomers.

Hua Le entered with two people.

An early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm woman and a young man at the ninth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm.

Jiang Hao and Mian Lian watched the two pass by them.

“Only an early Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and ninth stage Lifeblood Refinement cultivator?” She was a bit disappointed.

Someone in the Lifeblood Refinement Realm wouldn’t have many spirit stones. Being at the early stage of Foundation Establishment Realm was comparatively better.

There wasn’t much difference, but it still mattered.

At the ninth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, one could only earn five spirit stones in a month, or ten, if they managed to enter the inner sect.

On the other hand, someone at the early stage of the Foundation

Establishment Realm would earn twenty spirit stones.

This was not a trivial difference.

However, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivation also consumed a lot of spirit stones. At the end of the month, they wouldn’t have a single penny left. They might even end up spending more than they earned.

That was common for every cultivator.

Very few people could accumulate spirit stones unless they were about to advance to a higher realm and needed to save them.

“That’s still enough for us, ” Jiang Hao said calmly.

One or two spirit stones were sufficient to gather the information he wanted. It was harder to earn more in a higher cultivation realm. Besides, he was more interested in the young man at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm than the spirit

stones.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that young man might be at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Same as him.

Even if the young man was suppressing his cultivation realm and hiding his strength, Jiang Hao could still sense it clearly.

As for the one at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, that wasn’t a lie. She was really in that realm.

‘At least one person has arrived.’

As for the young man in the ninth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, nobody would pay attention to him. Some people getting accepted for tasks without having fulfilled all the requirements was not uncommon.

For example, Mian Lian didn’t fit all the mission requirements, either.

However, Hua Le always recruited people based on her preferences.

The cultivation realm and background were things she seemed not to care about.

Maybe that’s what she wanted now.

Finally, the two people stopped at a shelf a little far away.

Jiang Hao appraised the young man.

[Xuanyuan Tai: He is using the identity of Bei Shan as an alias. At the peak of Primordial Spirit Realm. True Disciple of Blackheaven Sect. Blessed by the mountains and seas. Possesses a special spatial constitution. When prepared, he can use the Heaven and Earth Dislocation divine ability. Infiltrated the outer sect of the Heavenly Note Sect as a disciple at the ninth stage of the Lifeblood

Refinement Realm to get close to you. He wants your help to grow his ancestral divine flower.]

“So, it is Xuanyuan Tai, but…”

Jianz Hao continued to arrange the books.

The one he was looking for was Xuanyuan He, not Xuanyuan Tai.

When he saw the “Notes of Mountains and Seas,” he had thought Xuanyuan He would approach him. It seemed he had been wrong.

But he couldn’t be hasty. He could still slowly lure Xuanyuan He out.

Xuanyuan Tai’s arrival meant he was one step closer to success.

As long as he refused to help Xuanyuan Tai plant the ancestral divine flower, he would still have some leverage.

He was just curious about what kind of bubbles Xuanyuan Tails flower would spawn.

Perhaps it could give him some gold bubbles.

Jiang Hao thought that achieving a purple-gold bubble would be somewhat difficult.

“I’ll go talk to them when I have the time,” Mian Lian said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

If they gained two spirit stones, they would each get one.

“By the way, Senior Brother Jiang, aren’t you going to talk with that senior?” Mian Lian suddenly asked.

“Have you talked with him yet, Junior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

Mian Lian nodded. “Yes, I was facing some obstacles in my cultivation. After receiving guidance from that senior, I am on the right track now. Senior Brother Jiang, if you go and help him tidy his desk or brew tea for him, he will let you circulate your cultivation and help you.”

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked her for the information. However, he cultivated the Hong Meng Heart Sutra. Even if he transformed it into the Hundred Revolutions of the Heavenly Note, it shouldn’t have many flaws. And he had a pretty good understanding of the Hundred Revolutions of the Heavenly Note.

He had learned it to be able to guide Chu Chuan, Cheng Chou, and Lin Zhi. He also had a fair bit of understanding of the Sun and Moon Refinement Technique.

The next day, Mian Lian brought back three spirit stones.

She gave two to Jiang Hao.

“They were quite easy to talk to,” Mian Lian said with a smile.

She had gained a lot from being here.

Over the next few days, Xuanyuan Tai didn’t do much.

Jiang Hao was the same. He organized the books and read the “Note of Mountains and Seas” when he was free.

In the evening, Jiang Hao arrived at the Lawless Tower.

As usual, he was here to learn about talisman-making.

Although he had learned quite a bit, he was always excited for more knowledge.

He heard from the seniors working there that Mi Lingyue was about to leave. Jiang Hao pretended to be surprised as though he hadn’t prepared for the news already.

He knew that Mu Longyue would send people to rescue her.

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Jiang Hao saw them making a commotion.

“King Hai Luo, I’m about to leave. How about you?” Mi Lingyue sneered.

“Me? I’m enjoying myself here. Why should I leave? Only a fool would think that I can’t get out of here. Are you a fool? You look like it.”

“Then prove it by leaving. ”

“Why would I want to leave and miss out on all the fun? Here, I can have whatever I want. Who can stop me? I can shout as loudly as I want and curse whoever I want. Even if you go back, you won’t be able to reach the state that I’m in. You’ll be in a constant state of anxiety.”

“At least I don’t have to endure constant whipping.”

“Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Do you really think I, the Heavenly King, would endure whipping? Didn’t you see that little b*tch working so hard just to please me?”

“Your master is here,” whispered Mi Lingyue.

“My master? What a joke! I am a king. Why would I have a… Oh, right! My throat is a little sore. I shouldn’t strain it by speaking too loud,” said Hai Luo when he saw Jiang Hao approach.

Jiang Hao paid them no attention and continued learning lessons from Mi Lingyue.

He hadn’t brought up the topic of her leaving throughout their lessons. After they finished, Mi Lingyue grew uneasy. “I…”

Jiang Hao looked at her. “Once you’re out of the Lawless Tower, you’re no longer my concern. What I know will remain only with me.” Mi Lingyue was overjoyed. This meant she could finally be at ease.

“Sometimes, people need to be silenced,” Zhuang Yuzhen suddenly said.

He was hinting at something.

Jiang Hao was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and even the most insignificant of Wood Dragon Heavenly King’s people could kill him with a snap of their fingers.

“Nonsense!” Mi Lingyue grew anxious. “I, Mi Lingyue, swear that I will never harm Jiang Hao. Otherwise, I’ll suffer mental and physical collapse.”

Jiang Hao didn’t really care, Many people wanted to kill him, and adding one more wouldn’t make much difference.

Besides, they thought he was at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. So, the assassins they sent might not be in a very high realm. They wouldn’t pose much danger. “Regarding my situation…”

“I won’t reveal a single thing to anyone.”

This felt familiar. Under different circumstances, Jiang Hao had said the same thing to Hong Yuye.

After that, he turned and left.

He had learned the basics of inscriptions and had improved a lot compared to before.

He had more understanding of the Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman and the Breath Concealment Talisman.

He didn’t dare make the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman as it might hamper his ability further.

After he reached the Soul Ascension Realm, it might be easier. Reaching that realm was something he had never even entertained in the past. And now it was within his reach.

Back at his house, Jiang Hao saw the spirit beast unconscious with a bruised face.

He knew someone had come.

He saw a figure dressed in red and white sitting on the ground and looking at the peach tree.

It was Hong Yuye.

He recalled the description of the person Xiao Li had met. He thought this might be the right time to ask. But he had to do it cautiously..
