“Heavenly Spirit Tribe?” Zhuang Yuzhen furrowed his brows slightly. “The tribe must be located overseas and isn’t a particularly notable group.”

“Are there any other details… like legends about their tribe?” Jiang Hao asked.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about it, and it wasn’t a major issue. He was just curious.

Even if someone with ulterior motives found out about him asking questions, it wouldn’t matter because Senior Sister Yinsha’s disappearance might be related to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, so he was just trying to help.

“There are quite a few, ” said Hai Luo. “It is said that the Heavenly Spirit Tribe used to be a major tribe. It was called the God Clan. The words “Heavenly Spirit” say it all. It was believed that all living creatures born out of heaven and living under them were a manifestation of them. It’s said that they had astonishing natural talent and were in harmony with heaven and earth. They possessed divine abilities. However, at some point, their status changed, and they were rejected by heaven and earth. They even struggled to cultivate. Today, they are just a moderately sized tribe. Even members of their tribe are polite to me when they meet me…”

“You brat!” Zhuang Yuzhen sneered.

Hai Luo was taken aback. “Old Scum, are you provoking me? Inside this tower, I have a hundred ways to make you kneel and beg for mercy.”

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to their argument but felt something was amiss.

Why had the Heavenly Spirit Tribe suddenly lost their protection? Was the Sea Fog Cave related to them?

He had seen the writings there, and the one who went to investigate the area should have seen them too.

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe must have been investigated as well.

It meant that the danger in the cave might be manageable.

“Old bastard, aren’t you still rotting here? Surprisingly, the esteemed Divine Corpse Sect hasn’t even offered to ransom you,” said Hai Luo sarcastically.

“You little brat, do you think I’ve lost my value, just like you?” Zhuang Yuzhen retorted.

Jiang Hao asked a few more questions about the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, their special abilities, and any abilities that could have a significant impact.

However, he didn’t get the answers he was looking for. With a helpless shake of his head, Jiang Hao got up and bid them farewell.

In fact, Zhuang Yuzhen came here because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. The reasons behind it and the person who provided the information had not been disclosed yet.

The Lawless Tower wouldn’t easily let him leave. Heavenly King Hai Luo, on the other hand, had no value anymore. He wasn’t useful to the Heavenly Note Sect.

That’s why one could be let go after accepting ransom, while the other couldn’t. After leaving the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao thought about the Sea Fog Cave.

“Want unparalleled talent? Come to me, and I will grant it to you.”

Those were the words he had seen on the stone tablet.

“What does it mean?” Jiang Hao muttered to himself.

The matter seemed to exceed his capabilities. All he could do was keep an eye on it.

After all, he wouldn’t enter the Sea Fog Cave. He didn’t know how dangerous it might be inside.

At the marketplace, Jiang Hao planned to sell some talismans, so that he could get spirit stones to take care of the spirit herbs.

He had already planted the Holy Medicine Seed, but it required spiritual stones every day for its maintenance.

He didn’t want to use the spirit stones he had on him, so selling talismans was the best solution. He had made quite a few when he was in the Star-Moon City. It was enough to sell and earn a bit of spirit stones.

After setting up the talismans, he sat cross-legged on the ground. There were not many customers today, so his income wasn’t that high.

“Junior Brother Jiang?” Someone approached shortly after he sat down. It was his Senior Sister Leng Tian.

Senior Sister Leng Tian had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and it seemed like she wasn’t too far from reaching the Golden Core Realm.

“Senior Sister Leng,” Jiang Hao greeted her politely.

“I heard you’re going to advance to the Golden Core Realm soon?” Leng Tian crouched down and smiled.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “That’s all just nonsense.”

Leng Tian looked at Jiang Hao and glanced around. “I also think the rumors are too far-fetched. It doesn’t seem like you would use the Blood Wish Path. However, I’ve heard that more people are learning about the Blood Wish Path lately, and some have even started practicing it.”

Jiang Hao smiled but didn’t explain further. He would wait for Junior Brother

Han to return before displaying his cultivation realm at the Golden Core Realm.

He wondered if Leng Senior Sister would choose to believe the rumors at that time. Given his talent, it might seem like a rapid promotion.

“Do you need any talismans, Senior Sister Leng?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course. By the way, Junior Brother Jiang, are you going to start making higher-grade talismans?” Leng Tian asked as she held a Healing Talisman and a Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman in her hand.

She bought a total of twenty Healing Talismans and one Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman.

“I’m thinking of learning them,” Jiang Hao said.

Leng Tian paid nine hundred spirit stones and then picked up one Healing

Talisman. “Since I bought twenty of them, do I get one for free?”

“Sure. You can even choose the Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman for free,” Jiang Hao said.

Healing Talismans were thirty spirit stones each, and a Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman was sixty spirit stones.

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. I always feel comfortable buying talismans from you,” she said before taking twenty Healing Talismans and an additional Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman.

She paid nine hundred spirit stones in total.

‘Not bad at all. A customer who spends 1,800 spirit stones on me deserves such treatment.’

If Senior Sister Leng Tian reached the Golden Core Realm, she probably wouldn’t be weaker than him.

He was even looking forward to her advancement. However, it was hard to believe that a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could spend 1800 spirit stones on talismans.

“I and my seniors are preparing to leave for a while to advance to Golden Core Alchemists. These items are essential for our safety,” Leng Tian said.

After Leng Tian left, Jiang Hao set up his stall again. He sold three Healing Talismans and two Hundred Thousand Swords Talismans in the end. He earned a total of 150 spirit stones.

Along the way, someone bought five Divine Walk Talismans for one spirit stone. Jiang Hao had made these talismans and always put them on display.

However, they were never in high demand. It was surprising to see someone buying it.

After closing the stall, Jiang Hao went to the Snow Lotus Pavilion and bought jade spirit liquid and ordinary spirit liquid. One bottle of jade spirit liquid cost three hundred spirit stones, and there were thirty bottles in total. He also bought ten bottles of spirit liquid.

In total, he purchased five bottles of jade spirit liquid and ten bottles of spirit liquid.

One thousand eight hundred spirit stones were just gone.

Today, most of the earnings were spent.

He still had a few bottles of jade spirit liquid on him that he bought in the Star-Moon City.

The price was two hundred and eighty spirit stones each.

It was slightly cheaper.

In the beginning, he felt that the spirit stones were reducing too quickly, so he didn’t buy them all.

It was a typical small vendor mentality.

Jiang Hao had already reflected on himself and would probably do the same next time.

Planting Sweet Leaf Cold Grass required about five thousand spirit stones in total, which was quite expensive.

However, he had won the seed, and the prospect of getting a purple bubble was too tempting.

Jiang Hao looked at the corner where the Sweet Leaf Cold Grass Seed was planted. It had only been seven days, and there were still forty-two days to go.

After forty-two days passed, it was already mid-September.

Jiang Hao walked into his courtyard, and sure enough, the Sweet Leaf Cold Grass had sprouted tender shoots.

Next to it was a floating purple bubble.

Jiang Hao hurried over.

[Divine Ability +1]

‘It is indeed a purple bubble! I just don’t know how many more days it will take for other bubbles to appear.’

In theory, Holy Medicine Seed should produce blue bubbles, but it was uncertain how soon they would appear.

However, he now knew how to plant them.

It was best to continue watering the plant with spirit liquid. After being influenced by divine items long enough, plain water could be used.

It was quite expensive in the early stages. Five days later, a white bubble appeared. [Endurance +1]

Ten days later, a green bubble appeared.

[Spirit Sword +1]

Fifteen days later, a blue bubble appeared.

[Cultivation +1]

After observing for another half a month, Jiang Hao found that the white and green bubbles were not produced on regular days, but the time interval didn’t fluctuate much.

Blue bubbles, on the other hand, took at least fifteen days to spawn.

Now, in mid-October, Jiang Hao focused on the Immortal Peach Tree. He needed to check on its progress for another incarnation..
