He had earned a lot of spirit stones again.

Combined with what he already had, there were over 320,000 spirit stones.

For a moment, the spirit stones surpassed all he had before.

He felt very wealthy.

If he didn’t use them to digest the divine soul of the Holy Master, he would have enough to buy tea or help plant high-grade spirit herbs.

“Senior, your tea is here,” said Wei Quande.

The one who brought the tea leaves was the woman from before.

She saw that Senior Wei was so respectful toward this person and was somewhat shocked. She didn’t understand what kind of person this was who demanded such respect.

“Is the season of September Spring almost over?” Jiang Hao curiously asked.

He didn’t really understand when the right season was for the tea.

“Yes. The September Spring has to grow again. It takes thirty years for it to sprout, and thirty more years for it to mature. It takes another thirty years to prepare the tea leaves and another ten years for it to appear on the market. Only after that, it is sold. It is said that there are only eighty-one batches in total. Theoretically, it is only sold for eighty-one years, with a nineteen-year gap. However, there will always be splaces which will sell it. The last ten years are a blank period. No one can get it anywhere,” Wei Quande said.

“Is it difficult to grow?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“It’s not so difficult to grow, but obtaining the seeds is very difficult,” Wei Quande said.

“How did they manage to cover all four territories if it’s so difficult?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It’s easier if you know someone who grows September Spring.”

“Do you know anyone like that?”

“They are said to be backed by The End of All Things. Senior, you might know about them..

Jiang Hao nodded.

He never expected that September Spring actually cfrom The End of All Things.

With such resources, why bother destroying the world?

He then remembered the Chaos Stone Island. Not everyone felt the seven if they were in The End of All Things.

They seemed to have different roles and opinions.

Speople changed their minds when they had the means to survive and felt like life was worth living.

Speople from The End of All Things were poor and resentful.

Those who were poor felt that life was actually worth something once they had the means to survive, while those with hatred just wanted revenge even if it meant watching the world burn.

As for the core members of the End of All Things, they just wanted to end everything.

But one thing couldn’t be ignored. The End of All Things was involved in everything.

Many people had already been pulled into it.

“Now, it’s the ninth year of the nineteen years?” he said.

“Almost… It will be difficult to buy it in the next ten years,” Wei Quande said.

“How much do you have?” Jiang Hao asked.

Since it’s not easy to buy in the future, it was better to buy more right now.

Fortunately, he didn’t use it much, and ten years would pass by quickly.

“There is probably one box left. It has ten packets inside in total,” Wei Quande said.

“What about Red Azure tea?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Red Azure tea is temporarily unavailable. It only appears once a year, but most of it has been booked bv sseniors,” Wei Quande said.

Jiang Hao was in disbelief.

In such a city, it was not easy to buy these things.

Would someone spend two hundred thousand to buy a box of tea?

Jiang Hao hesitated as he looked at the tea leaves.

His hard-earned spirit stones were diminishing quite quickly.

After thinking for a moment, he finally chose to buy five packs of it.

He spent one hundred thousand on it.

He only had two hundred twenty thousand spirit stones left.

“Senior Wei, do you know about the Ancient City?” Jiang Hao asked after receiving the tea leaves.

“The Ancient City of the Astronomical Academy?” Wei Quande asked. Jiang Hao walked to the window and pointed. “That Ancient City over there.”

“That’s the Ancient City of the Astronomical Academy. It is said to be the former site of the Astronomical Academy. Later, for sreason, the Astronomical Academy was relocated to its current location. Sstatues were left behind. It was later renamed the Ancient City,” Wei Quande said.

“Relocated?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“Yes. It is said that the academy moved overnight. Everyone was shocked. Sbig sects asked about it, but none of them could even enter the main gate,” Wei Quande said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

They saw black clouds in the distance.

Wei Quande was surprised. “Cursed clouds… Senior, Granny Kufa’s people are here…

“So soon?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“It might be her avatar,” said Wei Quande.

He looked anxious as if he wanted Jiang Hao to leave quickly.

That way, he wouldn’t be dragged into a kerfuffle.

Jiang Hao didn’t want to linger. He wanted to see the cursed black clouds.

But he had to be careful. Once it was known he was the one who had killed all those people, the other sects would converge to kill him. He couldn’t use the identity of Smiling San Sheng if that happened.

He wondered if he should pose as Gu Jin.

What kind of person was Gu Jin?

He was probably proud and unmatched.

But using this nwould bring a lot of trouble too.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it.

He decided to be Gu Jin for the moment.

Hopefully, he won’t anger the Astronomical Academy.

He took a step and disappeared. He blended in with the light and becone with the dust.

Wei Quande narrowed his eyes.

He had seen stricks in Jiang Hao’s technique.

“Is he from the Astronomical Academy?”

He was surprised to see that the Astronomical Academy was getting involved in the matter.

Many people found Dole’s situation strange. The fact that people from the Astronomical Academy would go to such lengths to protect someone was surprising.

The person currently selling treasures was from the Astronomical Academy too. It was unbelievable.

However, everyone knew the culprit was Smiling San Sheng.

This person clearly wasn’t from the Astronomical Academy. Or perhaps, the people from the Astronomical Academy had already found Smiling San Sheng and made a deal with him…

That was possible.

In the Ancient City, Bi Zhu ate her noodles and looked out of the noodle shop.

“It’s the scultivator!” said Bi Zhu excitedly. “I wonder how strong that person is.”

‘What do you mean, princess?” Qiao Yi asked curiously.

“Let’s go out and take a look,” Bi Zhu said with a smile.

The two walked out to the street and saw a dark cloud in the distance. “It doesn’t seem too strong… just passable. I wonder who it is,” said Bi Zhu.

“It’s Granny Kufa,” a middle-aged man said.

“Granny Kufa?” Bi Zhu looked puzzled. The other person was dressed as a scholar.

Bi Zhu was at the Golden Core Realm. “Senior, can you elaborate?”

“Granny Kufa may not have extremely high cultivation, but her curses are outstanding,” the middle-aged man said.

“Curses?” Bi Zhu looked at the black cloud in disbelief.

“That should be her avatar. She has a peculiar treasure with powerful curses. Once it locks onto someone, it can unleash various potent curses. The caster can avoid the backlash. Moreover, the curses will be enhanced several times over,” the middle-aged man said.

Bi Zhu found it unbelievable. What kind of treasure was this? And why was this person making such a big fuss?

“It’s a bit far. I can’t see anything over there.” Bi Zhu felt regretful.

She wanted to go and take a look but had to stay back. The young waitress and the shopkeeper reminded her not to leave the Ancient City until Granny Kufa was done with whatever she was doing.

Although she didn’t know why, Bi Zhu was willing to listen to them to avoid danger..
