Chapter 831: She Said The Same Thing Eight Hundred Years Ago....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The information about spirit stones caught Jiang Hao by surprise.
In the courtyard, he used a divine ability to appraise the Holy Master’s divine soul.
[Holy Master’s Divine Soul: Part of the Holy Master’s soul. It was born under the grand blessing of the mountains and seas. The Holy Master can assimilate various fortunes and transform them into the power of mountains and seas. You can use the Great Formation to split the divine soul, which will allow you to absorb it into the Mountain Sea Seal. The process can be hastened by using spirit stones or spirit liquid.] Jiang Hao furrowed his brows. ‘The Great Formation?’
He didn’t have such a thing.
However, looking at what Hong Yuye left behind, he found that there was indeed such a formation.
Was this the Great Formation?
Hong Yuye had noted down the amount of spirit stones he would need and also the amount of spirit liquid that would be needed.
But one bottle of spirit liquid cost thirty spirit stones…
Jiang Hao chose to use spirit stones. He had plenty of them, so it should be enough.
After that, he drew the formation in the courtyard.
He placed the Holy Master’s divine soul in the center and sat cross-legged on the floor.
He activated the formation and then added the spirit stones.
He put in one at first.
The Holy Master’s divine soul showed no reaction.
Then, he added ten more.
There was no change.
He then added a hundred.
There was still no reaction.
When he finally added a thousand, there was a slight change.
He added another ten thousand. Something like a mist appeared.
The Mountain Sea Seal activated, and the changes fused into his body. It nourished the seal.
It worked!
However, the change was too small right now.
Jiang Hao gritted his teeth and threw in one hundred thousand spirit stones.
Finally, he felt the overwhelming force rushing in like a stream.
The Mountain Sea Seal became more condensed.
He had always sought to improve the Mountain Sea Seal, and the changes were always so slight. However, this time, the changes were significant.
If this continued, the power of the seal would be terrifying. It also had significant benefits for sealing.
Jiang Hao was pleased.
He felt excited to see how strong the seal would be.
However, the effect suddenly stopped.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes and saw that the one hundred thousand spirit stones had disappeared.
He hesitated and threw in another seventy thousand more.
After that, the power returned, and an intense force surrounded him.
The Mountain Sea Seal released a formidable aura as it revolved in his palm.
Every breath became stronger.
He felt that he could confront the Holy Master much more easily with such a strong seal.
Not long after, the surging force abruptly stopped.
Jiang Hao looked at the Holy Master’s divine soul. Not even one-tenth of it had been consumed. “Tcn’t thie ton •Inna”
This was all a total of one hundred and seventy thousand spirit stones had accomplished.
“I regret it. I should be more careful in the future…”
After some thought, he felt that using one hundred and seventy thousand spirit stones to buy high-grade spirit medicines would have yielded at least twenty or thirty blue bubbles.
This was not worth it. As long as his cultivation improved, absorbing something like this wouldn’t be a problem.
For a moment, he felt sentimental. He should have taken the fifty thousand spirit stones from Senior Brother Mu Qi.
He checked the storage treasures he had snatched from the dead members of the Heavenly Saint Sect, but he didn’t find much.
Did these people offer all their things to the Holy Master?
Jiang Hao sighed. Finally, he took stock of how many spirit stones he had left. He only had 11,003 spirit stones. He couldn’t even afford September Spring.
‘Is it all gone?’
‘It’s fortunate that I still have many treasures and pills from the Corpse Realm.’ Jiang Hao wasn’t too worried.
If he sold them while heading to the West, he could earn a lot of spirit stones.
As for the Holy Master’s divine soul, it was better to just leave it untouched.
The matter with the Holy Master was temporarily solved. The only regret was that he hadn’t gotten the time to appraise the one who was hidden.
He speculated that they might be someone from the Great Thousand God Sect. It might be Feng Hua.
If they met, he could confirm it.
Who would have expected that Hong Yuye would appear and disrupt his plan?
However, the Great Thousand God Sect’s intentions were unclear. Why did they want to gather the Holy Master’s divine soul? What were they planning?
In any case, it had little to do with them.
He had to deal with The End of All Things first.
The Saint Bandits had gone quiet lately, and there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
The Fallen Immortal Clan was a bit troublesome.
The End of All Things was the real danger.
In the West, Bi Zhu sat in the noodle shop.
She had been here for a long time. In fact, she came here every day.
But the people inside just wouldn’t talk with her about her condition.
They just said they were busy.
Clearly, there wasn’t much business going on in the shabby noodle shop.
She noticed that those three people often came here.
Their cultivation realms were always something different.
Sometimes they appeared as Golden Core Realm cultivators, and other times as Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.
Occasionally, they even displayed Lifeblood Refinement Realm.
Getting on their bad side wouldn’t go down well.
“What do you want to eat today?” said the young girl from before.
She looked around seventeen or eighteen years of age.
“Whatever you recommend,” said Bi Zhu with a smile as she propped her chin on her hands.
Qiao Yi sat quietly beside her. She felt that the people in this shop weren’t as simple as they appeared to be.
It seemed that none of the staff or the customers were ordinary people.
She hadn’t seen even one non-cultivator come in for a bowl of noodles. Even ordinary cultivators didn’t venture in.
“We’ve been here for several months. When will your boss come out?” Bi Zhu asked.
“My boss is cooking noodles, so he usually doesn’t come out here, ” said the waitress.
“Your boss has to do everything himself? That must be difficult. How about this? I’m decent at cooking, so I can help him cook,” said Bi Zhu. “How can we let a guest cook?” said the waitress and laughed.
Bi Zhu shrugged. She had no choice but to wait.
“Is the food that delicious here? I see you here every day,” said one of the three usual seniors as they walked in.
“I could ask the same question. If you weren’t here every single day, you wouldn’t have noticed us, Senior,” said Bi Zhu.
She didn’t dare to offend these three seniors.
“We decided to go to the Mountain River Valley Sect to take a look. We won’t be coming here anymore. I heard there are astronomical books in the academy over there,” said the middle-aged man with a smile.
Bi Zhu immediately knew where Zhang was.
She knew that Zhang had advanced.
She had always been curious whether Zhang could survive her current predicament.
She didn’t plan to go meet her. Everyone in the gathering had an unspoken agreement to not compromise each other’s identity.
As for delivering the book… There were other ways to do it.
The reason she hadn’t delivered it yet was to do with Zhang’s present condition.
If Zhang failed, she would die.
The book would have to be returned.
“Here are your noodles,” said the waitress as she set the bowls of noodles in front of Qiao Yi and Bi Zhu.
She then turned to the three seniors. ‘What would you like to eat?”
“We aren’t here to eat today. We have some questions for your boss. Will there be a big event in the back of the West?” asked the middle-aged man.
“I’ll go and ask,” said the waitress and hurried away.
After a while, she walked out of the kitchen. “The boss said that you will meet the person you’re looking for soon enough.”
The middle-aged man chuckled. “Eight hundred years ago, she said the same thing. She is still here cooking her noodles and deceiving me with the same words. Do you think that’s fair?”
Bi Zhu was speechless.
She felt that the shopkeeper of the noodle shop was someone extraordinary.
“The boss said this time it’s the truth,” said the waitress.
“Sixteen hundred years ago, she said the same thing,” said the middle-aged man icily..
