Chapter 342: Going Too Far

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao led the group to the Spirit Herb Garden. Cheng Chou and Jiang Hao allocated tasks to them.

...

Jiang Hao activated his divine ability and appraised Gu Qin.

[Gu Qing: a member of the Fallen Immortal Clan. While stealing treasures from the Bright Moon Sect, she overheard some secrets. Pursued by the Bright Moon Sect, she managed to escape danger with a powerful treasure, but suffered heavy injuries, causing her cultivation to fall to the late stage of the Return to Void Realm. She adopted the alias “Gu Qin” and became an inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect to recuperate. Her purpose in coming to the Spirit Herb Garden is to absorb the essence of spirit herbs so that she can heal and restore her cultivation. She has tried to use charm techniques on you a few times without success, and is considering whether to remove you and take your place as the manager of the Spirit Herb Garden. ]

Jiang Hao walked to a small pavilion in the garden. He appeared calm, but many things were running through his mind.

‘Late stage of Return to Void Realm?’

Jiang Hao didn’t even know what realm that was. Now, such a powerful expert was beside him and possibly was planning to kill him.

She was too strong. He couldn’t defend against her. He wouldn’t even get a chance to fight back, let alone escape.

There was no doubt that Gu Qin was actually Gu Qing.

‘She came to the Heavenly Note Sect for refuge, but she’s much stronger than expected. She has fallen to the late stage of Return to Void Realm after suffering severe injuries… which means Liu and Xing are also exceptionally powerful..

Gu Qing slipped through the net. She was first captured by Xing, and then again by Liu.

Her escape wasn’t due to her cultivation but because of a precious treasure she possessed.

Jiang Hao had no idea what this treasure was, nor did he have any thoughts about it. He was in danger and had no means to escape it.

‘I need to calm her first and provide her with a good environment for recovery…

I must do something.’

Jiang Hao couldn’t come up with a good solution. The gap in power was too great.

After the tasks were assigned, Cheng Chou came over to him.

“What task did you assign to that junior sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Junior Sister Gu says she wants to take care of some of the spirit herbs, so I agreed,” said Cheng Chou.

Cheng Chou felt happy to help.

Jiang Hao glanced at him. His gaze seemed to pierce into the depths of Cheng Chou’s soul.

Cheng Chou shivered. He was confused.

Jiang Hao sighed. “For the next few days, you can take care of the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden, or you can accompany the spirit beast to handle other matters.”

“Alright.” Cheng Chou was puzzled.

Although he didn’t understand the reason, he didn’t dare ask about it.

After Cheng Chou left, Jiang Hao began to tend to the spirit herbs. Occasionally, he felt stolen glances directed at him.

He knew it was Gu Qing.

He couldn’t take it anymore.

Jiang Hao was worried that she would attack him.

It seemed that she didn’t understand the rules of the Heavenly Note Sect. Although he wanted to see her punished for this, he didn’t want to become the victim of her attack.

Jiang Hao left the Spirit Herb Garden and headed straight for the Law Enforcement Hall.

A year had passed. Liu Xingchen should be back by now.

The Lawless Tower had captured quite a few people targeting the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. A pioneer like Liu Xingchen was no longer necessary for the hunt.

Indeed, he did find Liu Xingchen there.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you’ve reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!” Liu Xingchen was surprised. “It seems like the opportunities in the Corpse Realm are really amazing.”

“It was just luck. An extraordinary genius appeared in the Corpse Realm,” said Jiang Hao.

Given Liu Xingchen’s abilities and connections, he might have known that already.

Liu Xingchen’s current state was a bit strange. He had no aura at all. Those three remnant souls might have joined forces already. Why hadn’t they launched a counterattack even after a year?

Did they fail?

Why would Liu Xingchen’s aura be so pure now?

It was completely different from before.

If he hadn’t used up his Daily Appraisal ability, he would have used it on Liu Xingchen

However, the possibility of those three souls being devoured was low. Liu Xingchen’s strength was the same as before.

In other words, his Primordial Spirit hadn’t been replenished. Or maybe they had succeeded in possessing Liu Xingchen, and this person wasn’t Liu Xingchen anymore…

But that seemed unlikely.

“Extraordinary genius? It seems I need to find time one day to sit and talk with you about everything that happened there.” Liu Xingchen smiled. “Anyway, what brings you here?”

He was more interested in what Jiang Hao was involved in this time.

“I feel that the Spirit Herb Garden might have some spies,” said Jiang Hao solemnly. “But I’m not entirely sure.”

Since he couldn’t handle it himself, he had to seek help from the Law Enforcement Hall. Although Gu Qing wasn’t a spy, she deserved to be caught by the Law Enforcement Hall.

As for how he knew, that wasn’t important. In any case, Liu Xingchen felt that Jiang Hao was acting strangely.

“Oh?” It piqued Liu Xingchen’s interest. He laughed. “Give me the list. I’ll investigate it over the next few days.”

Investigations took some time. The Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t dare to arrest people rashly. After all, they were not pushovers.

After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Jiang Hao decided to make some talismans. The Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman had already been used up, and he needed to make more.

However, it was easy to strain his divine ability during the process.

He also needed a new blade.

After looking around for a while, he chose a pitch -black saber with peculiar patterns.

It was suitable for a Golden Core Realm cultivator and cost 3,600 spirit stones.

This was the most ordinary type of magic treasure.

The price was lower than that of a better Foundation Establishment magic treasure.

For Jiang Hao, this one was more durable.

Golden Core magic treasure for less than 4,000 spirit stones was rare in the entire market. They were as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Forging magical treasures was also profitable.

He spent 4000 spirit stones to buy talisman-making materials to make the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.

Now, he had 45,000 spirit stones.

‘I need to ask how many spirit stones are needed for top-grade spirit herb seeds.’

Only by planting top-grade spirit herb seeds could he obtain bubbles. Other methods either didn’t work or had a very low success rate.

Soon, he walked out of the Snow Lotus Pavilion. The prices ranged from 2,000 to 10,000 spirit stones.

It was a bit expensive.

‘2,000…’

With 40,000 spirit stones, he could buy twenty of them.

Even if he only sold fifteen, it would still be good. He could sell the spirit herbs after a few months and do the same thing again.

The only question was whether he could keep them safe.

There was another problem: top-grade seeds were rare.

“There are many problems, but for now, I need to deal with the one at hand.”

Jiang Hao returned to his house and began to make talismans. He quickly discovered that his cultivation was still insufficient. ‘There is no need to rush. I’ll wait another two days…’

After that, Jiang Hao began to refine his cultivation and waited for a few days to advance.

The next day, Jiang Hao went to his own spirit herb plot to take care of it.

Half of the spirit herbs had started to wither. He found that their essence had been absorbed. Even if he revived them, it wouldn’t matter. They had lost their medicinal properties.

Perhaps it would take several decades for them to recover.

But the amount of spirit stones he spent on fostering them had exceeded the value of the spirit herbs. He disposed of the spirit herbs without making a fuss.

He had to be patient.

Another day passed, and Jiang Hao finally found a bubble in his courtyard.

[Cultivation +1]

[Lifeblood +1]

As he headed to the Spirit Herb Garden, he saw a blue bubble amidst numerous white bubbles.

[Lifeblood +1]

Jiang Hao was delighted. He could finally advance to the next stage!

Although it would be of no use against a late-stage Return to Void Realm cultivator, it would allow him to make a Thousand Miles Teleportation

Talisman, which could come in handy.

However, on this day, half of his spirit herbs had withered.

Jiang Hao saw an ordinary non -cultivator kneeling before the herbs.

“Go do something else and be careful,” he said.

He felt anxious..
