Chapter 592: Demoness: Have You Forgotten?....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Outside the Spirit Herb Garden of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Lian Daozhi pounded his fist on a tree trunk.
Some of the leaves fell.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
He could have had this kind of gain. He was the first to contact Jiang Hao and cooperate with him.
The opportunity to do so again had been right in front of him, and he had ignored it.
He had considered it a few times before but had always hesitated. In the end, he had given up on the idea.
This was the stupidest thing he had done in his life.
‘I should have tried… If I had just made an attempt, it wouldn’t have come to this!’
With a heavy sigh, he calmed himself.
There was always next time.
His relationship with Jiang Hao was good. He would have other opportunities in the future to cooperate with him.
‘It’s better to be kind to such people as much as possible. If I had gotten angry at his spirit pet, things would have been different.’
After learning that Jiang Hao was not around, he turned and left.
He would visit again tomorrow. This was not the time to be concerned about appearances.
For the alchemists of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, being humble was important. Otherwise, they would miss out on many things.
Meanwhile, Qing Yu was still in a daze as she collected the spirit herbs.
She walked to the place where the disciples from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion were gathered.
She found the person who had mocked her before and looked at her smugly. She didn’t say anything because she didn’t have to.
The news about the spirit herbs might have reached them already.
However, they still had to negotiate further with Senior Brother Jiang Hao.
Fortunately, they had already agreed to a long-term cooperation before, and everything had gone smoothly.
She couldn’t help but admire Senior Brother Bu Ye’s foresight.
Some people were puzzled by Qing Yu’s behavior, others looked displeased.
Perhaps there were still some people who didn’t know that the Cliff of Broken Hearts had already grown their spirit herbs.
The next day, Jiang Hao came out of his room.
Yesterday, at noon, he had successfully advanced.
But to ensure he was in peak condition, he had spent most of the day inside.
Fortunately, no one had disturbed him during this time.
He used some of his power in the courtyard.
The surrounding space became heavy and felt like it was boundless.
The Return to Void Realm was indeed powerful. It had the power to destroy life.
‘So powerful..
The Return to Void Realm was the highest cultivation realm he knew about.
He had always thought that it would take a very long time to reach it, but now he was only thirty-three years old.
In just fourteen years, he had completed a journey of several hundred years.
Even a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator would take around twenty to thirty years.
‘I don’t even know what rank I’d be if I was a top disciple.’
Senior Sister Ye Yaqing, who ranked fifth, was in the late stage of the Soul
Ascension Realm. The one ranked fourth was at the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm, and the one ranked third was in the early stage of the Return to Void Realm.
‘I might be around the top three.’
‘Liu Xingchen is also about to reach the Soul Ascension Realm. Fortunately, I’m a step ahead of him.’
Among the spies he knew, no one’s cultivation realm surpassed his.
He was on par with Hai Ming now. However, he couldn’t provoke him.
He had to go overseas first to find Tian Chen, and then see if he could look for Feng Hua.
Since he hadn’t been able to contact other spies, Hai Ming was the most important for now.
He also had to be cautious of the other spies.
Liu Xingchen was fine. He just wanted to sit back and watch the show.
It had been a long time since he had seen Senior Sister Ming Yi. He wondered what she was up to.
Senior Sister Hua Le wasn’t there to keep an eye on him, so they rarely interacted.
He watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower with a bowl of water.
He wanted to determine how many days it would take for the bubbles to appear this time.
Jiang Hao intended to wait for a few days.
He found out that whenever he went to the Spirit Herb Garden, he saw people visiting the place frequently these days.
Senior Brother Bu Ye proposed that if Jiang Hao ever could take another batch of high-grade spirit herbs, he could contact him at the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.
Senior Brother Lian Daozhi also offered the same thing and even told him not to worry about spirit stones.
When the season came, they would immediately send him some seeds. It was not just them. Even other people from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion said the same.
Jiang Hao was at a loss. Later, he learned that the spirit herbs had grown too fast this time.
‘It wasn’t like this before.’
The previously planted spirit herbs were known to many people, and they knew how to grow them quickly. However, these herbs were complicated.
So, it caused quite a stir.
Fortunately, not many people pestered him.
At most, they would show their faces and tell him that they looked forward to working with him next time.
Jiang Hao couldn’t agree easily because it consumed too many spirit stones unless these people were willing to foot the bill for those spirit stones.
“According to what Senior Brother Lian Daozhi said, it seems he would be okay with paying the whole amount. So, I’ll need to think about it,” said Jiang Hao politely as he bowed to them.
Nine days later, the commotion seemed to subside.
In the courtyard, Jiang Hao received two blue bubbles.
[Cultivation +1]
[Lifeblood +1]
‘From seven days to nine days… The Holy Medicine still hasn’t given any bubbles. Perhaps it’ll take close to a month.’
Jiang Hao did a quick calculation. He might be able to collect seven bubbles in a month.
To advance, he would need to wait for about two and a half years.
For a Return to Void Realm cultivator, this speed was quite extraordinary.
In the evening, Jiang Hao had just entered the courtyard when he saw a woman inside.
“Are you ready?” she asked.
Jiang Hao was stunned. He couldn’t understand what he was supposed to be ready for.
She frowned. “Have you forgotten?”
“No! I wouldn’t dare forget. It’s just that I might need a little time to make some preparations,” said Jiang Hao hurriedly.
A gentle breeze blew, and Jiang Hao suddenly realized that she was in front of him.
Then, a finger pointed at his forehead.
There was a strange sensation.
A powerful force surged, and Jiang Hao’s clothes tugged against his body.
Then, the breeze disappeared, and his clothes stopped fluttering.
Although nothing had happened, Jiang Hao was quite frightened.
She retracted her finger. “I will come to find you again at this time tomorrow. If you are not ready to go with me overseas…”
Hong Yuye didn’t complete her words and gradually faded.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out they were going overseas for real.
One day was enough time to make his preparations.
He could go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive a mission.
Then, he would give instructions to Cheng Chou to manage the Spirit Herb Garden in his absence.
It was a bit regrettable that the green fish hadn’t appeared for a long time, and he couldn’t get any news.
The next day, Jiang Hao arrived at the Task Hall in the Law Enforcement Peak.
“Junior Brother, it’s been so long since I last saw you. Are you going out?” said the senior who was at the reception. “Come, let me introduce you to the recent high-quality missions. The longest one allows a stay outside for six months. I especially kept this for you. Since the duration is long, the fee for failure is quite heavy.”
The senior smiled at him.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
“How much is it for failure?”
“The ordinary one is 2,500 spirit stones if you fail. The mission with a longer deadline is six thousand. But if it is for an extended period of time, you wouldn’t have to worry about getting back here and going out again.” In the end, Jiang Hao chose the ordinary one.
He didn’t have to worry about the hassle of going back and forth..
