Chapter 348: Going Down The Mountain
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at Han Mings unwavering determination, Jiang Hao knew that he could go far in the future.
...However, there was a problem. It was easy for him to fall into other people’s traps.
This time too, many people were heading to ambush the Heavenly Saint Sect, and Han Ming was among them.
Jiang Hao couldn’t go because he was still on the suspect list of Law Enforcement Hall. Otherwise, he might have been sent there.
That would be dangerous.
He returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.
Until the battle ended, there shouldn’t be any issues there. Otherwise, it would be considered his negligence, and the consequences would be severe.
He also took the spirit beast to the Spirit Herb Garden. If there were any issues, it could detect them immediately.
He called tor Cheng Chou too. The Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden was temporarily left unattended.
When Cheng Chou came back to his old Spirit Herb Garden, he realized that Junior Sister Gu had been captured. He felt that Senior Brother Jiang’s decision to have him stay in the outer sect had a purpose.
Three days later, people gradually appeared in the sect. Most of them were heavily injured. They were from the Heavenly Saint Sect and were thrown into the Lawless Tower.
Jiang Hao didn’t sell talismans during this time. The Spirit Herb Garden was more important.
He only took time long enough to water the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and hurried back to the Spirit Herb Garden every time.
He didn’t dare to leave the garden unattended. He worked there day and night.
He divided the work of tending to spirit into two shifts. Everyone was constantly working around the clock.
One day, someone requested to see him outside.
Jiang Hao walked out of the garden to see a woman with significant injuries. She was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Senior Sister, is there something you need?” Jiang Hao asked.
The woman handed a list to Jiang Hao and walked straight into the Spirit Herb Garden.
“I need a stalk of the Ancient Clear Grass.”
As she was about to enter the herbs, Jiang Hao stopped her.
“What is it, Junior Brother? Is there a problem with the list?” she asked. “No problem.” Jiang Hao looked at her. “But I think you are the problem.” Just as he finished speaking, she was about to attack.
She suddenly unleashed her entire cultivation and charged into the Spirit Herb Garden.
Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. He used the Demonic Sound Slash.
Boom!
The opponent tried to cast a spell to block, but by that time, Jiang Hao was already at her side.
He used the Moon-Slaying Technique.
The blade’s light shone like the moon. With a loud bang, the opponent was sent flying backward.
Jiang Hao sent some workers to call someone from the Law Enforcement Hall. The woman was taken away quickly.
“How did you figure it out?” asked the woman before she was taken away. She couldn’t understand how he had figured out that she was from the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Jiang Hao didn’t answer her.
Actually, he hadn’t been sure. Her injuries were real, and the list she had handed him with an order for spirit herbs was legitimate. Her cultivation realm, her aura… everything was fine. She wasn’t suspicious at all. He only had a gut feeling and used the Daily Appraisal.
That’s when he found out. Fortunately, she had only been at the peak of the Foundation establishment Realm. If she had been at the Golden Core Realm, it would have been troublesome.
Jiang Hao heard about similar incidents in two other places.
It was said that they were from the same sect.
Jiang Hao could understand how the others might have allowed them to enter the garden. If it were Senior Sister Miao trying to enter the garden, he wouldn’t have stopped her either.
However, most of the people were post-war puppets. There were only two spies from the Heavenly Saint Sect in the place, after all.
Half a month later, around mid-March, the supply and demand of spirit herbs in the sect decreased by half.
People were freauently thrown into the Lawless Tower
In early April, the sect ceased the numerous orders for spirit herbs.
Jiang Hao let out a sigh of relief.
He then told Cheng Chou to inform the workers in the garden about it. A few could stay while the rest could take a break from work.
The workers were delighted.
It’s over! Not only the work but also the battle with the other sect.
They won! So, they didn’t have to worry anymore.
If they lost and the enemies infiltrated the sect, workers like them would be the first to be killed.
“Master.” The spirit beast ran over to him. “You mentioned giving me a gift last time. Is it ready yet?”
Jiang Hao glanced at it. “Not yet”
“What about me?” Xiao Li stood beside the spirit beast.
“No hurry.”
The spirit beast and Xiao Li retreated to the side and began to speculate what their gifts were.
“Spirit beast, what do you think my gift will be?” “If you call me big brother, I’ll tell you what your gift is.”
“I like desserts.”
“As for me, I like things that showcase my identity as a great demon.”
Jiang Hao sighed as he listened to their discussion.
Did he ever say he was going to give gifts to both of them?
Jiang Hao left the Spirit Herb Garden.
He rarely went elsewhere because the enemies were from the Heavenly Saint Sect. They easily blended in as ordinary workers.
So, there might be many of their people around that were in hiding.
He had been on his guard ever since the war started. Now, he could finally relax.
He went to the cafeteria.
Jiang Hao sighed and looked for Feng Yang.
“Desserts?” Feng Yang was puzzled.
“Yes, just simple ones. Nothing too extravagant.”
“That will take some time to learn. Do you have time to spare, Senior Brother Jiang?
“I do.”
In the evening, Jiang Hao left with two boxes of pastries.
He found the spirit beast and Xiao Li under the jujube tree near Xiao Li’s house.
“One box for each of you. A gift.”
He handed over the pastries.
Xiao Li and the spirit beast jumped up in joy. Then they took the boxes and opened them.
After that, Jiang Hao ignored them and went back to making talismans.
He needed to earn some spirit stones while talismans could still be sold for an increased price. Otherwise, he might end up with nothing.
Currently, he only had 44,000 spirit stones left.
Back in his house, Jiang Hao began making talismans.
He wanted to make Healing Talismans, Ten Thousand Swords Talismans, Earth-Shattering Talismans, and Strength-Control Talismans.
The first two were the most common.
His strokes flowed like water as he wrote the characters.
“It’s been a year since I last made these. It seems I haven’t lost my touch.” He worked until midnight. The spirit beast finally came home.
Jiang Hao had run out of materials, and he would need to buy some more tomorrow.
As he walked out of the house, the spirit beast said, “Master, I just went to find Lin Zhi. It seems he is planning to leave.”
“Leave?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
“He’s going back down the mountain for a visit. His two friends seem to be going back too,” the spirit beast said.
‘Visiting family?’ Jiang Hao thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
Those two friends had exceptional talent, and currently, they should be at the sixth stage of Lifeblood Refinement.
Advancing to the seventh stage was difficult. Going back for a visit might help him ease some burdens.
But no matter what, this trip back home would be a blow to Lin Zhi. Once he returned, he would realize that he no longer had a place here.
His belief in becoming a disciple might waver.
“How long will he be gone?” Jiang Hao asked.
“About a month.” The spirit beast jumped onto a tree branch.
“You can secretly follow him. Familiarize yourself with the matters down the mountain,” Jiang Hao said.
There was one thing he didn’t say. In the future, he might choose to leave of his own volition.
The spirit beast excitedly hopped down from the tree branch and patted its chest. “Leave it to me, Master. My friends all know that I’m a great demon. They’ll help me every step of the way.”
Jiang Hao chuckled.
The next thing to consider would be the spoils of war from the Heavenly Saint Sect.
With the Heavenly Saint Sect defeated, the Heavenly Note Sect would obtain some treasures, and perhaps a new grand competition would be announced. He needed to pay attention and see if there were things he needed..
