In the shabby pavilion of the Spirit Herbal Garden, Duanmu Yan was in a daze.
She looked at Jiang Hao. “How did you do it, Junior Brother Jiang?”
Jiang Hao lowered his head and didn’t answer.
“Sorry. I’m in a hurry, so I’ll check the rest.” Duanmu Yan did not ask him any more questions.
She just checked the spirit herbs.
At first, she didn’t believe it. She thought some of the seeds would be definitely damaged.
It wasn’t until she was done with the checkup that she realized that she had underestimated him.
The herbs weren’t just undamaged, but they were also of superior quality compared to the ones she had spent so much effort to grow. It had taken half the time than the ones she had grown.
It meant that the person who had planted them was amazing at his work.
This person knew much more about spirit herbs than anyone in the sect.
It was far beyond her understanding.
“Do you know how to refine pills too, Junior Brother Jiang?” Duanmu Yan asked.
“I don’t know anything.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
“If there’s a chance, we can try to do it. Who knows? You might be talented in that field too,” said Duanmu Yan.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
Refining pills sounded like it would take too much time and spirit stones.
He was good at making talismans. They were just a bit difficult to sell, especially the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.
His talismans had improved significantly.
It was just that he had been making fewer talismans lately.
However, there were quite a few clone talismans.
After that, they began to talk about business.
“Junior Brother, your ability is far beyond what I could have anticipated. I hope you don’t mind that I doubted you before.”
“You’re too polite, Senior Sister. Of course, I don’t mind.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “I’m just not good at raising every spirit herb.”
“Junior Brother Jiang, are you free now? I have seven hundred seeds here. You can try planting them.”
Duanmu Yan could feel that this person had a special talent for planting spirit herbs. He would definitely be even more powerful in the future.
Since he had dared to plant two hundred seeds at once, he must be confident in his abilities.
“Seven hundred?” Jiang Hao asked.
How many bubbles would that spawn?
Two hundred and thirty…
It was enough for him to advance.
“I can give you three times the spirit stones than it might normally take,” Duanmu Yan said.
‘Three times more?’ Jiang Hao thought for a moment. It was a good deal.
It was not good to ask for too much. Many things had to go through the sect for approval. If his method was discovered, they might want to know.
She sent over the seeds after a few more days. The seeds were from seven different spirit herbs.
He spent seven days appraising them all.
Three of them could sprout in half a year, and four others would only take four months.
The cost of growing them was not small. It would cost him about 50,000 spirit stones.
He hoped she would give him more than that.
He still had 400,000 spirit stones. Even if he added the seeds Senior Sister Ye gave, he would only use up around 80,000 spirit stones.
He would still have 320,000 spirit stones.
There was no way he could spend it all.
What he lacked was top-grade spirit herbs.
Unfortunately, these people didn’t have any.
However, one thing was certain. If there were no accidents, he would be able to advance to the late stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform by the end of the year.
After that, he started planting the spirit herbs.
It was July. The earliest batch could sprout by November.
However, there was no rush to inform the seniors. He could tell them a month or two later.
The next day, Jiang Hao looked at the peach tree that was beginning to bear fruit and appraised it.
[Immortality Peach Tree: It is related to the ancient divine tree, the Immortality Peach Tree. It has a trace of the divine tree’s characteristics, and the fruit is sweet and fragrant. If you leave a fruit on the tree and use 53,900 spirit stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array around it, you could activate a trace of the divine tree’s characteristics and activate an incarnation. After two incarnations, it will become a complete divine tree. It’s easier for the incarnation to succeed if it is placed near another divine item.]
Eight incarnations… It was almost over.
The difference in spirit stones this time was not much.
He would only need around 53,000.
“Looks like it will be the same as before. I wonder how many spirit stones will be needed for the last incarnation.”
There was nothing special about the first eight times, and the fruits hadn’t changed much.
There wasn’t even any spiritual energy left.
Maybe the last incarnation would be impactful.
It was definitely not ordinary.
After the last incarnation, it might also be very difficult to replant it.
It would take an extremely long time.
It might not even give him bubbles after it turned into a divine tree.
“After deducting 50,000, I’ll still have 270,000 left.”
The people he met were getting stronger and stronger, so he needed more spirit stones to get stronger too.
He had changed. He wasn’t like he used to be in the past. He didn’t spend all his spirit stones on just one thing.
The changes brought about by cultivation were best reflected in spirit stones.
“When will my peach tree transform into a divine tree?” said a sudden voice from behind.
Jiang Hao was used to her appearing out of thin air.
“Greetings, Senior.” He turned around and greeted her respectfully.
It was Hong Yuye. She was dressed entirely in red.
“It needs to go through incarnation twice more,” said Jiang Hao.
“How many times has it been?” Hong Yuye asked as she sat by the table.
“Seven times.” Jiang Hao began to brew tea.
He stole a glance at the spirit beast and realized that it had been hung up from a tree branch.
It was unconscious, and its face was swollen.
“Seven incarnations without any changes?” Hong Yuye asked softly.
“It has gotten sweeter,” Jiang Hao said in a low voice.
He was also very curious. He wondered why there wasn’t a change even after so many incarnations.
There was nothing else except for the fragrance. It was like an ordinary peach tree.
“Why is that happening?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Maybe for a better incarnation,” Jiang Hao said. “If there’s spiritual energy, then the ripening will definitely be delayed. It won’t be able to mature once a year like now. Even though there hasn’t been much change, the incarnation that comes with it is always deliberate.”
Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao in silence.
She looked at him for so long that he even finished brewing the tea.
“Not a single word of truth from you, but… it’s reasonable.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head and didn’t say anything.
“What did you find?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao told her about the gathering.
“Dragon Cave?” Hong Yuye asked with interest. “It’ll take two or three years?”
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“Do you still remember what I told you?” Hong Yuye picked up the teacup.
“I do remember. I need to investigate the origin of the Dragon Pearl.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“You remember things very clearly when it has to do with Xiao Li,” Hong Yuye said.
“Of course, Senior. I take your instructions very seriously,” said Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye chuckled and drank her tea.
Jiang Hao poured himself a cup of tea. She didn’t mention anything about the Shangguan Clan or the Fallen Immortal Clan.
She didn’t seem interested.
He still had to pay attention to the traps set by the Great Thousand God Sect.
He looked at her. She looked disdainful.
He didn’t speak anymore.
“There’s a fight at the mines?” Hong Yuye asked.
“At present, it seems that it’s in a stalemate and will remain that way for decades,” said Jiang Hao. “If Gu Changsheng comes out, will there be a big fight?”
Hong Yuye thought about it. “Why do you think he went in?”
‘Because of the curse that brought disaster to the earth…’ Jiang Hao thought.
Gu Changsheng had voluntarily gone in. Why did he intend to make a comeback?
