Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Han Ming experienced a significant increase in strength, and his sword’s intent pierced through mountains and rivers.

He was a type of genius that the Cliff of Broken Hearts had not encountered for many years.

Everyone was surprised.

In the Cliff of Broken Hearts Branch, Han Ming’s cultivation realm was not at the top, but his talent far surpassed many.

He was invincible among his peers of the slevel.

His sword’s intent had becstronger.

He was a promising sword cultivator.

However, Ku Wu Chang felt somewhat helpless because he didn’t have much knowledge about swords and couldn’t provide the best guidance to Han Ming.

On the second day of Han Ming’s fame, Jiang Hao received news that the master had gone out, and Senior Brother Bai Yi would be managing the branch temporarily.

‘Senior Brother Bai Yi again?’

Jiang Hao recalled the evaluations of the senior brother by the Law Enforcement Hall and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

Perhaps before long, Senior Brother Bai Yi would be taken to the Law Enforcement Hall again.

But no one knew what the Cliff Master was up to. It might be related to Junior Brother Han.

Two more days passed.

Most disciples of the Cliff of Broken Hearts were talking about Han Ming. Even Xiao Li had heard about it. Occasionally, she would ask if Senior Brother Han had becpowerful and if she should send him gifts.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Xiao Li knew Han Ming.

They were both True Disciples.

One day, while Jiang Hao was tending to the Spirit Herb Garden, Junior Brother Han suddenly appeared.

Jiang Hao was curious whether he had cto challenge or repay a debt.

If it was a challenge, it would be a bit troublesome.

It might be problematic to defeat him when he was this famous. If the news spread that someone had defeated him, the attention would turn to him.

So, if Junior Brother Han wanted to challenge him today, Jiang Hao would be in a dilemma.

As Junior Brother Han approached, he looked a little smug as if the promising future made him more confident.

“Junior Brother Han, you are truly extraordinary. I heard that you are destined to beca top disciple in the future. You have so much potential,” said Jiang Hao with a smile.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you have been staying in the Spirit Herb Garden without much practice. In the future, I will catch up to you. Even if you occasionally go out, it won’t be enough. The gap between us will becsmaller, and in the end, you will be defeated,” Han Ming said seriously.

“It’s inevitable for you to surpasssomeday. Whether I go out or not won’t change that fact,” Jiang Hao said softly.

Han Ming didn’t say much and took out the spirit stones. “These are two thousand spirit stones, with an extra one thousand as interest.”

Jiang Hao accepted them. “Thank you, Junior Brother Han.”

Han Ming nodded and turned to leave.

“Senior Brother Han.” Xiao Li ran over to him. “I heard you’ve becpowerful.”

“Yeah.” Han Ming nodded.

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Han. Did you bringa gift?” Xiao Li asked.

Han Ming stared at Xiao Li. He took out a spirit fruit from his storage treasure. “Here.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Han,” Xiao Li said excitedly.

“Cultivate well,” said Han Ming and left.

Xiao Li thanked him.

Jiang Hao smiled. It seemed that Han Ming was not that rich, but he knew how Xiao Li was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought her a gift.

After that, Jiang Hao continued his work.

Fortunately, Junior Brother Han did not challenge him. He was relieved.

Otherwise, he would have to find a way to prolong the match to make it seem evenly matched.

The next they fought would be when Junior Brother Han reached the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. That time, he would pretend to reach the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

“I just saw the surging aura of Junior Brother Han. It shouldn’t be long before he reaches the late stage. But if I directly reach the peak, wouldn’t that be strange?”

He always went out before advancing. But if Ham Ming challenged him, he would have to pretend to advance without going out.

He might appear suspicious.

“I can only rely on the illusion of the Blood Wish Path.”

Perhaps he could frequently explain the cultivation process to Cheng Chou and appear as knowledgeable and famous as Senior Brother Qian Chen.

That way, people would think it was the effect brought by Blood Wish Path.

Jiang Hao continued to tend to the Spirit Herb Garden.

The sect beclively again. He didn’t mind. As long as he maintained his peace, everything would be okay.

Around mid-February, Jiang Hao welcomed a senior sister from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.

She was at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm and had short hair.

“Can you really cultivate high-quality spirit herbs, Junior Brother?” she asked. “Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not questioning your ability. I’m just curious. I don’t pay much attention to sect matters, so I’m not aware of your capabilities.”

“I am okay at it,” Jiang Hao said modestly.

The senior had a gentle voice.

“Just okay at it?” She nodded. “That’s fine. By the way, I’m Duanmu Yan. Is your nJiang Hao, Junior Brother?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao said politely.

“I have many high-quality spirit herb seeds, but they are important to me. Because it’s our first collaboration, I hope you understand that I’m a bit doubtful. I’ll start by giving you two hundred seeds in the beginning. I hope you don’t mind,” Duanmu Yan said.

Jiang Hao was surprised. This senior was quite straightforward.

Was such a person safe in a demonic sect?

She was already at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, just a few paces away from the Return to Void Realm.

“I need to examine the seeds first,” Jiang Hao said. “There are sseeds that I’m not good at raising.”

Duanmu Yan agreed.

After the appraisal, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The seeds normally took nine months to germinate. He could make them sprout in as little as four months, but it required a significant amount of concealment. He planned to take half a year to let the seeds germinate.

With no tasks at hand, he didn’t have to worry too much.

Duanmu Yan followed the normal procedure and handed the seeds to him.

She also provided enough spirit stones for cultivation.

She gave Jiang Hao an additional fifty spirit stones.

It was quite a lot.

In the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, he could only receive a bit over a hundred spirit stones from the sect.

Unfortunately, he needed tens of thousands of spirit stones to accelerate his progress.

After seeing off Senior Sister Duanmu, Jiang Hao started planting spirit herbs.

This was the first batch. Once this was successful, the next bath would be easy.

Whether he could progress in his cultivation would depend on his success and the senior giving him more herbs.

In the southern region, in the Hidden Cloud Prefecture, Bi Zhu appeared on the mountain peak and took a deep breath. “Finally, back here… I didn’t expect to be this lucky. I can still find teleportation arrays.”

Qiao Yi’s strength had improved a lot recently, and she couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the mountains and rivers around her.

The difference between the southern and western regions didn’t seem very vast.

In the past few years, they had traveled from the southern to the western regions and then back from the west.

They had gone through many things. It felt like a dream.

“Is life so exciting outside, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked.

“No.” Bi Zhu shook her head. “Only these few years have been somewhat exciting. There have been so many events. I feel like I have been constantly trying to push things ahead and trying to make things happen. I feel like the person we are looking for is near the Heavenly Note Sect.”

“So, you didn’t really want to chere, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked.

Bi Zhu nodded. “Anyway, it’s better not to chere if possible. But we have to visit for the sake of your cultivation.”

Qiao Yi was puzzled. She already had a cultivation technique.

At that moment, Bi Zhu suddenly paused. “Let’s rest here for tonight, and we’ll set off tomorrow.”
