Chapter 741: Finding a Way to Mine

Jiang Hao vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was back in his own courtyard.

Only then did he retract the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan and return to his house.

He sat down in the courtyard and gazed absentmindedly at the peach tree.

His discoveries during the outing made his heart race.

They also made him understand that with insufficient strength, exploring exceedingly powerful things shouldn’t be attempted at all.

It could lead to trouble.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao intended to sell the Heaven Rejuvenating Pill. He wanted to gather enough to awaken the beast’s bloodline so that he could get a golden bubble.

He would get a new treasure.

Judging from previous experiences, he knew that treasures emerged from golden bubbles.

The Primordial Heavenly Blade, the nine golden rings, and the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield had all emerged from golden bubbles.

There had been only one purple-gold bubble, so he still didn’t know how they worked.

Apart from the beast, he also needed to wait for Hong Yuye to arrive and inquire about the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. However, it was uncertain when she would come.

He could only wait.

After two days of waiting, she still didn’t visit. Senior Sister Zhou Chan arrived instead.

They met at the entrance to the Spirit Herb Garden.

“Is there a reason for your sudden visit, Senior? Can I help with anything?” Jiang Hao asked.

Senior Sister Zhou Chan had already reached the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Normally, upon successful advancement, one’s cultivation would skyrocket.

However, there seemed to be no signs of such progress from her. It was puzzling.

Perhaps she didn’t want it herself.

“I came to give something to you, Junior Brother. I also have a message for you,” she said as she took out a square box and handed it to him.

Jiang Hao knew it was a reward for growing the divine flower.

It had been a long time since he had received one. He felt embarrassed to accept it.

He hadn’t made much progress with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and hadn’t even tended to it much.

Still, he accepted the reward because this treasure set was very powerful.

The belt might bring about some significant effects.

“I heard Lin Zhi is mining?” Zhou Chan asked.

“Yes. He’s cultivating there.” Jiang Hao nodded.

There was nothing wrong with mining. It allowed Lin Zhi to refine himself better and avoid people who constantly bullied him.

After all, most of the miners were prisoners at lower levels and couldn’t bully him.

Of course, the downside was that nobody managed that place properly, so there was danger at every corner.

Lin Zhi seemed to be at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, but he was actually at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so there wasn’t much danger for him.

Besides, the beast often went over to meet him and observe the surroundings.

Occasional attacks were useful for Lin Zhi to practice his newfound strength. It would prepare him for the dangers of the cultivation world.

“When will you bring him back?” Zhou Chan asked. “Junior Sister Zhao wanted to know, so I’m asking.”

“Why didn’t she ask herself?” Jiang Hao wondered.

Zhou Chan shook her head.

Jiang Hao could understand. The difference between the two had grown, and perhaps a meeting might be embarrassing for one of them.

It was better to not meet.

Besides, Lin Zhi still felt guilty.

Meeting each other would unearth guilt and remorse and make it worse for both of them.

“I’ll go over to check on his situation in a few days,” Jiang Hao said.

He suddenly remembered something.

If he went to visit Lin Zhi and found him mining, should he talk to him?

“That’s great. Although Junior Sister Zhao isn’t going to meet him, she’s still very concerned about Junior Brother Lin Zhi.” Zhou Chan smiled.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Zhou Chan looked at Jiang Hao. “Junior Brother Jiang, you seem to have remained the same.”

“What do you mean, Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Nothing. It’s just a passing… thought. The real matter is that Elder Baizhi asked me to inform you that your guest is arriving tonight, so prepare to welcome them,” Zhou Chan said.

After that, she bid farewell to Jiang Hao and left.

Watching her leave, Jiang Hao let out a sigh.

Senior Sister Zhou Chan was undoubtedly a good person, but this was a demonic sect, and it was somewhat dangerous for her here.

Jiang Hao began to focus on tonight’s event.

The so-called guest should be Zhuang Yuzhen.

He was coming to see the Heavenly Fragrance Dao flower, and he wondered what his reaction would be upon seeing the flower.

Originally a strong cultivator, he had become a prisoner due to this flower. His cultivation was also crippled.

Without power and status, his future would be hard.

The Corpse Heart was his last hope, but there had been no response for so many years.

He probably would find it exceedingly difficult for a rebirth.

Everything was normal in the Spirit Herb Garden. Jiang Hao sought out Cheng Chou to inquire about his cultivation.

Unlike others, Cheng Chou consistently had issues, and Jiang Hao would explain them to him. Some fellow disciples would also listen in.

Occasionally, they would ask questions, and out of courtesy, Jiang Hao would give a brief explanation.

This led to some people wanting to help in the Spirit Herb Garden, but all offers were declined. The Spirit Herb Garden didn’t need anyone else.

It required only one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, which the garden already had.

Now, it also had a Golden Core Realm cultivator because Jiang Hao chose to stay. Cheng Chou helped around, but he wasn’t in charge. He just liked working here and was close to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li probably had no significant responsibilities.

Perhaps, before long, she would also have to complete sect missions.

By then, he could ask her to take the beast along.

It was about time for her to start getting involved with others.

At night, Jiang Hao stood at the courtyard gate and waited.

In the distance, someone arrived riding a flying sword. It was Senior Sister Yinsha with two others escorting Zhuang Yuzhen.

The latter had numerous suppression runes on his hands and feet.

For others, the Lawless Tower might show some leniency, but not for Zhuang Yuzhen.

“Junior Brother Jiang, we’ll wait outside. If there’s any problem, call us immediately,” said Yinsha as she urged Zhuang Yuzhen forward.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Senior, please…” he said politely as she stepped aside to let Zhuang Yuzhen in.

Regardless of Zhuang Yuzhen’s cultivation realm, he was still a senior. Basic courtesy was still necessary.

Just because someone’s cultivation realm had declined didn’t mean they weren’t a senior anymore.

Zhuang Yuzhen nodded and stepped forward.

He wasn’t worried about anything. The people from the Heavenly Note Sect wouldn’t harm him. There was no need for that now.

Jiang Hao followed him inside.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhuang Yuzhen frowned. He surveyed the courtyard and was quite surprised.

The spiritual energy here was rich, and there were high-grade spiritual herbs and sacred medicines.

Finally, his gaze fell on the peach tree.

It looked ordinary, but he knew it wasn’t.

“Senior, the flower is over there,” Jiang Hao said.

With that, Zhuang Yuzhen followed Jiang Hao and saw a flower with only seven leaves.

That was the Heavenly Fragrance Dao flower he had been thinking about all these years.

It didn’t seem particularly special, but it was indeed a divine object.

Zhuang Yuzhen chuckled and sat down.

Looking at this sapling-like little flower, he couldn’t help but sigh. “If I had been a bit more cautious back then, would I have ended up like this?”

Jiang Hao also sat down and recalled everything. He felt quite sentimental. “Fortune is where misfortune lurks, and misfortune is where fortune lies.”

Life was always uncertain..
