Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness-Chapter 849: Recalling How Good She Had It In The South

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Return to Void aura appeared. Except for Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye, everyone else was terrified.

That kind of power made them feel like a lost boat in a storm.

At any moment, they could be swallowed by the deep sea and destroyed.

Senior Hu stood up. He composed himself and glared at the two staff members.

“Why haven’t you served tea to the seniors yet?”

The two staff members were scared. They hurriedly went to pour the tea.

Jiang Hao realized that there wasn’t any tea in sight.

However, the two staff members hurried along. He found that strange.

Everyone was lined up, but these two women had accompanied them. Jiang

Hao wondered why.

Perhaps it was intentional.

After a while, several cups of good tea were brought up to where they were seated.

Jiang Hao smelled it. “Is this Red Azure tea?”

“You’re quite knowledgeable about tea,” said the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.

Jiang Hao smiled. “I bought a lot of tea in a nearby store, so I know a bit about them.”

He did seem to know a lot about tea. It wasn’t especially the taste he knew about but the price of different types of tea.

“What kind of tea do you buy?” Senior Hu asked with a smile.

After some thought, Jiang Hao said, “Mostly September Spring.”

Lately, he had been buying a lot of September Spring. He bought Red Azure less frequently than before.

He had spent a lot of spirit stones on them.

Senior Hu initially thought it was just average tea but didn’t expect to hear about September Spring.

His face stiffened.

He felt that this Golden Core Realm cultivator might be deceiving people. However, when he thought about how Jiang Hao had just spent a hundred thousand spirit stones on simple treasures, he was convinced it was the truth.

Moreover, he didn’t dare speak because he feared the Return to Void Realm aura might appear again.

For a moment, a bold idea popped into his mind.

Today, he had offended two seniors who liked to play tricks.

He lowered his head and carefully tallied the items for the two seniors.

He offered eighty thousand for one batch and sixty thousand for another.

Jiang Hao’s batch was the latter.

Then, he felt the gaze of Hong Yuye on him.

Jiang Hao asked if he had any September Spring for sale.

Senior Hu said there was none but could arrange a shipment, which would arrive shortly.

Jiang Hao returned sixty thousand spirit stones to Senior Hu to book three packs of September Spring.

He now had only 13,666 spirit stones.

He sold most of the remaining items and gained another ten thousand.

For a moment, he didn’t know if he had gained or lost.

“I actually have a question for you, seniors,” said Jiang Hao. “Have you heard about the situation in the Sea Sky Forest?”

“Sea Sky Forest?” Senior Hu said. “You mean the Corpse Sea?”

“The water of the Corpse Sea has covered that area and is spreading rapidly,” said the middle-aged Primordial Spirit Realm man. ‘Various sects have already gone over, and the people from the Astronomical Academy took action too. However, it’s challenging to control the situation. It hasn’t been resolved yet.”

“We heard that The End of All Things is responsible. We expect something terrible to happen. But… besides some kerfuffle, nothing major has happened yet,” said Senior Hu.

Jiang Hao was puzzled. ‘Is that all? Where are the awakened corpses?’ He wondered if The End of All Things had failed.

The news about the Corpse Sea spreading wasn’t much news at all. What he wanted to know was where the corpses under the Corpse Sea had gone, and whether they had awakened yet.

“Is there more?” he asked.

“It’s said that some sects were covered by the Corpse Sea and found it difficult to escape. Now that the Corpse Sea is sweeping in all directions, it might bring unimaginable changes to the West. Moreover, various sects still don’t know how the Corpse Sea came out of the Corpse Realm,” Senior Hu said.

The Corpse Realm was quite famous in the West, and many people knew about it.

However, Jiang Hao found this news surprising.

With so much effort put into the plan by The End of All Things, it should have caused a huge commotion.

But there was nothing much happening.

He wondered if they were biding their time. If so, when would it happen?

He couldn’t come up with an answer.

Finally, he said, “Have you heard of the North Valley Mountains?”

“North Valley Mountains? It should be in the southern region of the West, under the jurisdiction of the Five Grains Prefecture.” Senior Hu said.

“Is it far from the Sea Sky Forest?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Quite far,” Senior Hu said.

Jiang Hao was relieved.

He knew that the Jiaxin Cliff was located somewhere in the North Valley Mountains. There was a city there, and outside the city was a village. On the mountainside of the village was the Jiaxin Cliff.

He had a general idea but didn’t know the exact location. He would have to ask around.

Fortunately, the Sea Sky Forest was quite far away, so they shouldn’t encounter any problems over there.

The Sage’s Pages also had no additional information. He didn’t know if there were other pages he could find.

With nothing else to do, Jiang Hao didn’t linger there any longer.

He was about to get up and leave.

“Friend,” said the middle-aged Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator, “I have some information about the Sage’s Pages. Would you like to hear it?” “Sage’s Pages?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

He asked if he had to pay anything in exchange for the information.

The man offered the information in exchange for one thousand spirit stones.

Hong Yuye was present, so he had no choice but to agree.

If it was genuinely useful, one thousand spirit stones would be worth it.

If not, then he would have lost a thousand spirit stones for nothing.

In the end, the other party gave him a piece of jade slip, and he left.

Jiang Hao remained silent for some time. He then got up and left too.

Senior Hu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside, Jiang Hao saw people fighting. They probably had some dispute about lining up.

He didn’t pay attention to them. Such incidents were common in the cultivation world.

It was better to leave quickly.

At the inn, Jiang Hao handed the jade slip to Hong Yuye. “Senior, this records a place called the Thousand Rivers Spring. It’s said that there was an eruption there, and an item emerged. It might be related to the ancient pages. However, nobody knows the details so far. The item might still be near the spring. It’s a few days’ journey from here.”

“Are you going there?” Hong Yuye didn’t look at the jade slip.

“Yes. I plan to check it out.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He needed to stall for time, and the changes in the Sea Sky Forest worried him.

The eruption might not have happened yet.

Once it erupted, who knew how terrifying it would be?

The curse was also growing. Granny Kufa would come for him again. That needed to be addressed too.

In the sky, two people flew on their swords.

“Princess, where are we going?” Qiao Yi asked.

They had been flying for a long time without stopping.

“I don’t know. I’ll know when we get closer to where we should be,” said Bi Zhu with a smile.

“Can you really find the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment like this?”

“I don’t know, but the chef of the noodle shop said it’s possible, so it should be.”

Bi Zhu looked naive as though she was a young woman who knew nothing of the world.

What else could she do?

Everyone and everything made her feel helpless.

Not long after leaving, she recalled how good she had it in the South.

The South was not that great. It had the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, and the Nine Nether. But still, it was nothing special. It was at least not as formidable as the West..
