Chapter 490: Calling Her Sister-in-Law....
Staring at the peculiar monster in front of him, Jiang Hao was quite surprised. It was the first time he had seen such a strange monster.
In reality, he was very wary of the Sea Fog Cave, and the things inside were no exception.
After giving a rough explanation, the people around him stepped back.
Now, only Jiang Hao and the monster were left facing each other.
The other creature looked wary.
Jiang Hao silently appraised the creature.
[Ah Zha: A special monster in the Sea Fog Cave at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It likes to devour flesh and blood to become stronger. It can navigate in the Sea Fog Cave and find others. Using a large amount of flesh and blood may attract more sea creatures. It has been deceived once before and has no intention of believing you.]
Jiang Hao remained silent.
The appraisal didn’t reveal much, but he discovered the creature’s capabilities.
It could discern directions and find lost individuals.
But what exactly was inside the Sea Fog Cave? There was no information about it at all.
The creature from before was the same. He had no information about it.
“Are you also trying to deceive me with sweet words?” A deep voice echoed in Jiang Hao’s mind.
It was the voice of the creature, Ah Zha.
‘Having a name indicates that the creature has a race and language.’ If it were just a simple sea creature, it wouldn’t have a name. It might have no concept of what a name was.
“It seems I won’t get more information from you.” Jiang Hao sighed.
He didn’t plan to get involved in this matter.
In his view, the Sea Fog Cave was extremely dangerous, and once he got involved, he might have to enter the cave. There was no need to throw himself into the fire.
Without saying more, Jiang Hao turned and left.
Although the woman in the black robe was disappointed, she still escorted him to the entrance of the cave.
“I have let you down, Senior Sister,” Jiang Hao said apologetically. “Junior brother, you must be joking. We are the ones who caused you trouble.” After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Hao turned and left.
At this moment, a man and a woman happened to pass by him and entered the cave.
The man was unremarkable, but the woman kept her eyes closed for some reason.
Without much thought, he walked straight on.
At this moment, the two of them noticed Jiang Hao.
“Why is he here? He has even reached the Golden Core Realm. Is the Blood Wish Path that strong?” whispered the man.
“If the rumors are true, he might not live much longer in the Golden Core Realm,” the woman said with her eyes still closed.
“Anyway, we shouldn’t pay much attention to other people’s choices. Perhaps we’ll find out more about him next time. By then, he might die under the Blood Wish Path.”
“Alright, let’s focus on the Sea Fog Cave for now. This seems more troublesome.”
These two people were the ones who were on guard outside Jiang Hao’s courtyard before.
Back at his residence, Jiang Hao sighed.
The Sea Fog Cave seemed very complicated, and it had changed since the Saint Bandits became active.
He was unsure if that place was important for the Saint Bandits.
But the glimpses he had seen earlier indicated that the place was definitely not safe for ordinary people.
“I should focus on advancing my cultivation realm.”
With sufficient cultivation, many dangers would become manageable.
Jiang Hao calculated the spirit stones he had now.
A total of 24,366.
The 1,500 spirit stones for the Task Hall had also been settled.
In addition, there were many treasures and pills that he couldn’t sell yet. There was a Primordial Soul Realm halberd, a Soul Ascension Realm spirit sword, a pile of masks, many Primordial Soul Realm and Soul Ascension Realm pills, and a Primordial Soul Realm Burning Blood Pill.
Once all were sold, he would become wealthy.
Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to sell them so casually in the sect.
He could only try to sell the two Heavenly Rejuvenation Pills.
Organizing all of this, Jiang Hao took out the Six Golden Core Talismans book. Recently, he had learned about the first talisman, the Heavenly Sword Talisman.
It was an advanced form of the Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman.
At first, he thought of making the Million Divine Swords Talismans. However, he let go of that idea because it wasn’t easy to make.
It was too demanding.
After learning about it, Jiang Hao began to practice. Even though he had already reached the Soul Ascension Realm, he needed a long time to improve his success rate.
In one month, he had progressed from a success rate of two out of ten to six or seven out of ten.
His progress was already fast.
Given some more time, there might not be any failures at all.
During this month of practice, he used the materials he had purchased from the Bright Moon Sect previously, so he didn’t need to spend his spirit stones.
In early September, the peach tree had started to bear fruits. It wouldn’t be long before they matured.
Jiang Hao took a moment to appraise them. It would take three years for another incarnation.
There were four more incarnations remaining.
The Sea Fog Cave didn’t bother him anymore. There was no news from that place for now.
These days went by relatively peacefully. However, after advancing to the Golden Core Realm, some Golden Core cultivators seemed to look at him unfavorably.
In their eyes, he had advanced because of the Blood Wish Path, and they were not very pleased. At the same time, they looked down on him a bit.
Perhaps some conflicts would arise due to these differences.
It was unavoidable. Seeing someone of the same cultivation realm with inferior talent, they would naturally feel threatened.
He was waiting for the conflict to start. Only after that, things could settle down.
Otherwise, staring at him and harboring more and more resentment was not a good thing.
At noon, as he thought about the Golden Core Realm cultivators who would target him, he got a call for another gathering.
‘I can finally find out what happened to the Heavenly King Hai Luo!’ Although there were many speculations, most of them weren’t true.
He found the spirit beast and Xiao Li under the peach tree. They seemed to be waiting for the fruits to ripen.
Xiao Li nervously held the spirit beast when she saw Jiang Hao. “Senior Brother Jiang.”
“It isn’t ripe yet,” said Jiang Hao.
After that, he didn’t pay attention to them and walked inside.
The beast sighed. “Master is so popular with women, but why doesn’t he find a companion? Should I look for a few?”
“Isn’t there a Senior Sister already?” Xiao Li asked in confusion. “I felt their auras blend together.”
“One is not enough. What if she doesn’t respect us?” the beast said.
“But aren’t you very influential?” Xiao Li asked.
“Yeah. But your influence is small,” the beast said seriously. “We definitely need to find a suitable companion for Master.”
“Then, should I call her sister-in-law next time instead of Senior Sister?” Xiao Li asked earnestly.
“That makes sense. Then, next time, I’ll call her sister-in-law too.” The beast nodded.
“Then, are we still looking for a new sister-in-law?”
“Of course, we are.”
Jiang Hao stood on the balcony and listened to their discussion. He had an urge to chase them away.
The beast was already in danger in front of Hong Yuye.
But Xiao Li was different. Xiao Li could indeed talk with Hong Yuye.
Moreover, she was an honest child. If she said she would call Hong Yuye that, she would actually do it.
He didn’t know if Hong Yuye would do anything to Xiao Li, but it was better to be cautious.
But how was he going to explain it to Xiao Li?
In the end, Jiang Hao decided to put it off and explain it to her some other day.
She could eat and do whatever she liked, but she had to be careful with her words.
One sentence could possibly jeopardize the lives of both of them..
