“Twenty thousand?! ”
Jiang Hao frowned. He was no match for this old vendor.
The old man was in the middle stage of the Return to Void Realm. The people here were quite powerful. It was unexpected.
After several rounds of bargaining, Jiang Hao bought some September Spring Tea for twenty thousand spirit stones.
He still had 110,000 spirit stones left.
Besides the spirit stones, there were also some extra items like simple magic treasures and pills that he could sell.
He knew people at the Foundation establishment and Golden Core Realm in the Heavenly Note Sect, so he kept some for them.
“Do you accept talismans in exchange?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It depends on the quality,” the old man said politely.
Seeing that the person in front of him had a high cultivation realm and was generous, he seemed like a good business partner.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “They might be quite valuable.”
“Valuable?” The old man chuckled. “If you ask about who has the most guts on the Ancient Spirit Island, it would be our Thousand Moon Pavilion. We accept things that others don’t, and we can afford what others can’t. Friend, you can rest a.s.sured. We have won the market with our integrity, so you don’t need to worry.”
“Do you accept this?” Jiang Hao placed Madam Gong’s token on the table. The old man hesitated for a moment. This seemed impossible. ‘What is this?”
“It’s Madam Gong’s estate token. This represents ownership of her estate. I heard from my friend, Zhu Shen, that there’s only one key. I believe I understood him correctly,” Jiang Hao said.
Because the area was quite large and well-established, he was a bit worried. After all, it wasn’t his, so he felt uneasy. But since he wouldn’t be coming back here anytime soon, he didn’t really care, at least not for the time being.
The old man was stunned. “Is it really Madam Gong’s estate… the one by the mountains?
“That’s right.”
The old man chuckled. But soon, his smile faded, and he looked serious.
He straightened his clothes and pushed the storage treasure toward Jiang Hao which contained the spirit stones for purchasing the September Spring.
Then, he stood up and bowed respectfully. “I’ve made a mistake. I’ve been impolite to you. Just consider this September Spring as an apology. Please forgive me. Let’s not discuss buying Madam Gong’s estate anymore. Our Thousand Moon Pavilion is small in scale, and we can’t handle something like that.’
Jiang Hao was speechless.
He had been serious about selling it.
He was planning to stay here for a few days, but after leaving, this place would be of no use to him.
If he could exchange it for some spirit stones, that would be best. It was a pity that it was more difficult than he had expected.
“Don’t you want to consider it?”
The old man bowed even lower.
Jiang Hao sighed and got up to leave.
As for the spirit stones, he didn’t take them with him. He didn’t want to make things difficult for the old vendor.
After that, he visited several other people and asked about Madam Gong’s estate.
Whenever he brought it up, people knelt and begged. It was clear that Madam Gong was a formidable person in this region.
At Madam Gong’s estate, Jiang Hao approached the Tranquil Fruit tree. He had decided to take this tree with him.
The seven fruits on it had already been unsealed, and he planned to eat them all in front of Feng Hua to tease them.
Such an action would provoke a response, and Jiang Hao was prepared for the consequences.
After ensuring that there were no issues, he used the Universe in A Palm Technique to transform the fruit tree into a purple bead that fit into his hand.
Since he had learned how to use the technique, he had sealed many things, including Nine Nether, the Corpse Heart, a fragment of the Earth Extreme Heart devouring Pearl, and more.
If one day these seals were broken, it would likely lead to his death.
‘I wonder what cultivation realm is required to resist the dangers these things bring.’
He shook his head and went to find Hong Yuye.
He told her about the gathering that night.
She didn’t seem to care. Instead, she asked him to prepare a bath for her.
At night, with complete darkness outside, Jiang Hao sat behind the screen and reviewed recent events. He needed to think about everything that had happened and be prepared for the gathering tonight.
This time, he had more things to discuss and more questions to ask. He needed to be more cautious.
Also, the most important thing was that he had to maintain the pretense of being Smiling San Sheng, so he had to be careful not to talk too much.
He heard splashes of water from behind and sighed. Not only did he prepare a bath, but he also brewed the September Spring for Hong Yuye, who was now in the bath.
He didn’t drink any of it.
If he drank more, his Mountain Sea Seal would likely make further progress, but now wasn’t a suitable time.
He hoped that Hong Yuye would finish her bath soon.
Unfortunately, she took a very long time.
Occasionally, she would even chat with him. It was quite torturous for Jiang Hao.
Eventually, he was glad he didn’t need to endure this for long.
He informed her that it was time for the gathering and entered the stone tablet.
Behind the screen, Hong Yuye played with the flower petals on the water’s surface. Her long hair hung in front of her chest and swayed in the water.
She turned slightly and looked at the blurry figure on the other side of the screen. Her eyes were calm.
She stared at him for a while, then turned and leaned on the edge of the bath. She slowly closed her eyes.
She seemed a little tired.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she immediately opened them.
Then. she shifted her gaze to the tea not on the side. and her delicate finger
pointed toward it.
She stabilized the spiritual energy of the tea.
Then, she withdrew her hand and continued to lean over the tub.
Her eyes closed again, but this time she didn’t wake up. Instead, a force began to spread once she lowered her eyelids.
This force repelled all breaths, and anyone who got close would be met with a storm.
However, when the force spread to Jiang Hao, it accommodated him.
“Is there any issue with your cultivation?” asked Dan Yuan in the common area.
It had only been a short time since the last gathering, so naturally, no one had any cultivation issues.
Jiang Hao had never spoken during this part of the gathering. If he did one day, he wasn’t sure if it would affect the image he had created.
Fortunately, he could ask Hong Yuye about cultivation problems.
“Do you have any information about the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl or the True Dragon?” Dan Yuan asked.
“I investigated in the southern region,” said Gui. “Many people of The End of All Things have appeared in the south. There are many strong individuals. So far, they don’t seem to have a goal, but they are heading southward. If the Earth
Extreme Silent Pearl were to appear, what would happen?”
Jiang Hao and the others were quite curious. Having Gui present was indeed beneficial because she was always so forward with her questions.
The gathering would be incomplete without Gui.
“The Earth Extreme Silent Pearl primarily targets flesh and blood. Once it appears, it becomes a forbidden zone of life. Unlike the Heavenly Fate
Misfortune Pearl, which ignores distance and defense, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl has the possibility of evasion and defense. If it’s allowed to spread, an entire region will fall into silence. All living beings will be exterminated.” “It doesn’t particularly seem dangerous,” Gui said.
Senior Dan Yuan smiled. “If it isn’t suppressed, it’ll only take seven days to end everything in the entire southern region.”
Gui was speechless.
In other words, once it erupts, she would only have seven days to escape. No matter how fast she is, she can’t cross the southern region in seven days.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. He was hesitant about whether to bury a ring outside the southern region.
He couldn’t escape from the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, but he had a chance to escape from the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl as long as he wasn’t in the line of fire..
