On the outskirts of Madam Gong’s residence, a person dressed in a black robe approached step by step.

He arrived at a wall near the back door.

He stared at it for a moment, then placed his hand on the wall.

Soon, a formation appeared.

Then, he placed a bottle of pills into it.

He waited for a moment, but what he wanted didn’t come out.

Another moment passed.

The pill came out again.

The person didn’t immediately take it but stood quietly. It was unclear how much time had passed before he picked up the pill and left.

He remained unaffected.

It seemed like he came and went calmly.

No one knew what he wanted to do.

“Senior Sister Miao, I know about Xiao Li’s situation now, but why haven’t you left yet?” Jiang Hao asked.

He looked around and noticed that Senior Brother Mu Qi was also nearby. He was searching for some spirit herbs.

“How old are you, Junior Brother?” Miao Tinglian asked.

“Thirty-three,” Jiang Hao said.

“Thirty-three? Will you turn thirty-four in a month?” Miao Tinglian asked.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

“Isn’t thirty-four quite old?” Miao Tinglian asked again.

Jiang Hao didn’t know how to respond.

But, yes, thirty-four was relatively old. He had never been this old before.

“Normal people would already be married with children by that age, right?” Miao Tinglian said.

“Senior Sister, do you have someone in mind?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Oh, do I seem that predictable? Come, I’ll show you. These are the ones I’ve scouted from various branches in the sect,” Miao Tinglian said as she took out some portraits.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

‘Doesn’t Senior Sister Miao practice her cultivation every day?’

“Look at this one, a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm from the Ice Moon Valley. She’s very obedient. When I mentioned you, her face turned red. She’s excellent,” Miao Tinglian said.

Jiang Hao was at a loss for words.

“How about it? Do you like her?” Miao Tinglian asked.

“Senior Sister Miao, I think my cultivation realm is still too low,” Jiang Hao said. “I need to focus on that for now.”

“Early thirties and already in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm… you think it’s still too low?” Miao Tinglian asked. “Then, what am I?”

“How old are you, Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Mu Qi says I’m still a young maiden like the day he met me,” Miao Tinglian said proudly.

Jiang Hao was quite surprised. “You met Senior Brother Mu Qi when you were that young?”

“Yeah.” Miao Tinglian didn’t hide it.

It had been quite a long time since she was in her teens. Jiang Hao nodded. But it seemed that Miao Tinglian was the only one who could attract Senior Brother Mu Qi of the Heavenly Note Sect.

“Let’s get back to business. If you think it’s possible, you two can meet. I’ll arrange it, ” Miao Tinglian said.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It took a lot of effort to persuade Senior Brother Mu Qi to take her away.

At noon, Senior Brother Bu Ye arrived.

He came to discuss the matter of the spirit herb seeds.

They were top-grade spirit herbs.

Jiang Hao examined them and found that they required three months for germination, but Bu Ye’s requirement was six months.

It seemed like a normal request.

Jiang Hao accepted it without making any additional demands.

Bu Ye sighed with relief.

As long as Jiang Hao agreed, they could continue their collaboration with the spirit herbs.

Everything was going as planned.

Members of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion were not concerned about this.

Those who were still worried felt that their previous success might have been due to luck.

Bu Ye, on the other hand, wasn’t afraid of losses. He already felt indebted to Jiang Hao. If Jiang Hao wanted to try something else that incurred a little loss, he wasn’t worried about it.

This time, the planting wasn’t as extensive as before. There were only a hundred and five seeds in total. Jiang Hao spent three days planting them, just like before.

He was responsible for these as well.

Cheng Chou also discussed Xiao Li’s situation with him.

Jiang Hao went to check and found that the pearl was nurturing Xiao Li’s body, which had disrupted her perception of her own strength.

Jiang Hao had to suppress the pearl again.

He suppressed it every five days and didn’t completely seal it so that Xiao Li could gradually adapt.

With the pearl, Xiao Li could defeat powerful opponents even if she was just in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She was safe, but her self-awareness was lacking.

It wasn’t suitable for her to leave the mountain.

One month later, around early January, Jiang Hao had been waiting for Senior Sister Ming Yi and Junior Brother Han Ming.

There were no changes in Senior Brother Qian Chen’s situation, but there was no need to worry about it for now.

The Heart of the Ancestral Dragon had appeared for a long time now. It should have found its owner.

This reunion should have taken place as well.

However, it hadn’t started yet, so it was likely that the owner had not been decided.

After some hesitation, Jiang Hao called the spirit beast.

“Master, what are we going to do today?” The spirit beast wiped its mouth and asked.

“Is there anything that has happened lately?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Nothing.” The spirit beast shook its head. “Everything is fine.”

“That’s good.” Jiang Hao nodded, then grabbed the spirit beast by the ear and lifted it up.

Then, he went inside and tied it up.

“Oh, is it time already, Master?” The spirit beast was excited.

Jiang Hao glared at it and told it that it wouldn’t be allowed to eat anything other than spirit stones starting from tomorrow.

The spirit beast readily agreed.

The next day, Jiang Hao took out 490 spirit stones.

“Master, shouldn’t we start with a smaller amount?” asked the spirit beast.

It was familiar with being tied up now.

“Go ahead and eat,” Jiang Hao said.

The spirit beast could only eat one piece at a time. It crunched on the spirit stones happily.

After eating half of it, the spirit beast hiccuped and couldn’t eat anymore. “Master, it seems the spirit stones don’t show me respect,” the spirit beast said.

Jiang Hao looked at it but didn’t say anything.

It kept eating until late at night when it finally finished all the spirit stones. Jiang Hao sighed. He wouldn’t be able to go to the Spirit Herb Garden today.

It was quite a loss.

However, the situation with the spirit beast was critical. If there was a mistake, he would lose 409 spirit stones in a day, and he couldn’t afford that.

A month later, the spirit beast began to get used to it. It even began enjoying it.

“Master, it’s morning. It’s time for breakfast.”

“Master, hurry up! Xiao Li secretly got something for me to eat.”

“Master, I’m hungry.”

“Master…”

As time passed, the spirit beast started eating the spirit stones faster.

Over a month later, eighty-one days had passed. It was almost the end of

March.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, everything had gone smoothly. The growth of the top-grade spirit herbs had slowed down, but it could be compensated with a bit of extra spirit stones, so it wasn’t a big issue.The source of this content ɪs novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

[Golden Legend +1]

After collecting the bubbles, Jiang Hao appraised the spirit beast.

[Deceptive Spirit Beast: Possesses high intelligence. At the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Has tremendous potential with a dormant beast bloodline. Feed it 810 spirit stones every day, and after 98 days, it can further awaken its bloodline. Feeding it spirit stones daily can increase its favorability towards you. It currently feels awe and admiration towards you.]

‘It seems to be the last time. It requires over 60,000 spirit stones…’

With only a little over 10,000 spirit stones left, after supplementing with some top-grade spirit herbs, he would have around 15,000 left.

Recently, he had to take care of the spirit beast, manage the spirit herbs, and didn’t have much time to earn spirit stones.

He needed to start making talismans again.

He had become more attached to the spirit beast. That wasn’t good. He needed to release it soon.

At that moment, he sensed the stone tablet vibrating.

“It’s finally here..”
