Chapter 168: The Hope of Advancing to Nascent Soul
“Junior Brother, long ti no see.”
At Ku Wuchang’s residence, Mu Qi greeted Jiang Hao, who had just co in.
Gentle and elegant, with a touch of sincerity.
“Senior Brother Mu Qi,” Jiang Hao responded politely.
Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian had indeed treated him well.
Although he hadn’t interacted much with them, because of Senior Sister Miao’s initiation, their relationship was quite harmonious.
Especially since there were no conflicts of interest.
Jiang Hao was happy to keep it this way.
It ant two less dangers to worry about.
He didn’t expect these people to help him; he was just grateful if they didn’t kick him while he was down.
“You’re here,” Ku Wuchang appeared in the courtyard at that mont.
“Today, I’ve called you here regarding the Demon Cavern matter.”
“Demon Cavern?”
Mu Qi was quite surprised, “Didn’t Senior Sister Ning Xuan just enter not long ago?”
“Yes,” Ku Wuchang nodded, speaking seriously.
“However, the situation inside seems to have worsened, and each sect needs to send more people to maintain balance. This ti, one Golden Core and one Foundation Establishnt are to enter, you two will join others in going. Do you have any other matters recently?”
“No,” Mu Qi responded.
Jiang Hao followed with his response: “Disciple also has none.”
During these days, he had many things to do, but fortunately, he had already completed what was needed.
The rebirth of the peach tree, the rabbit’s potential excavation, the comprehension of rge With Light and Blend With Dust.
The preparations for Hong Yuye’s request were also basically ready.
Currently, only the tea leaves and the stone slab were left, and these were not a problem.
So, entering the Demon Cavern was sothing he had been waiting for a long ti.
But it would be best if he could wait another three months.
“Departure is in two months; use this ti to prepare and then et with people from other lineages to enter together. Do not underestimate the demons; this ti the impact is significant, and there is a possibility that other entrances may appear. Be ntally prepared,” Ku Wuchang reminded.
“Other entrances, where might they be?” Mu Qi asked.
Jiang Hao was also very concerned.
“I don’t know, it could be within the sect or around it,” Ku Wuchang answered.
This response made Jiang Hao’s heart sink; now it was dangerous.
If he hadn’t just agreed, he might have considered using his advancent as an excuse to avoid this batch.
“Don’t worry too much, the Law Enforcent Peak and Baiyue Lake’s people will be monitoring the new entrance at all tis. It won’t be easy for others to enter,” Ku Wuchang reassured.
“What you need to do is deal with the demons inside. Oh, and rember to go to the Law Enforcent Peak to get the mission when you leave.”
Afterward, Ku Wuchang gave a few more instructions before letting them leave.
However, only Jiang Hao left; Mu Qi was kept behind.
Although he didn’t know what they were going to talk about, Jiang Hao didn’t care.
What he cared about was that the departure was in two months, which would clash with his ti for advancent.
Also, there was a possibility that other entrances might open.
A possibility ant it was certain, and if people from other sects infiltrated the Demon Cavern, the situation could beco very bad.
Jiang Hao felt that these people were most likely targeting him.
“It would be safer to enter as a Nascent Soul; I need to find a way to advance within these two months.”
The only way now was to find a batch of expensive seeds to plant.
This might make up for the one-month gap.
The problem was, where to earn spirit stones?
Even selling Azure Red Sky wouldn’t be enough.
Back at the Spiritual dicine Garden, an outer disciple handed him the order to review.
“Because the planting requirents are quite high, it needs to be reviewed by Senior Brother.”
Jiang Hao nodded and took the order.
He frowned slightly after looking at it because it was an order to plant Black Lotus seeds.
“An order from Candlelight Alchemy Court?”
He was sowhat surprised and looked closely at the requirents.
They only needed help with growing the seeds into seedlings.
It would take about two weeks for the seeds to germinate into seedlings, at which point the spiritual dicine would be stable and could be transplanted.
“What about the credibility?” Jiang Hao asked the key question.
“As long as Senior Brother agrees, they will pay enough spirit stones, but they hope the transplant can be done within two months,” the outer disciple said.
“Have the seeds been checked?”
“There’s no problem, but the spirit stones provided by the other party are fixed, so if the spirit liquid is consud along the way, they won’t pay for it.”
“That ans under normal cultivation conditions, it will take two months to reach a state suitable for transplantation.”
“Yes.”
“How many seeds are there?”
“Fifty.”
That many?
Jiang Hao was sowhat surprised.
When he had bought them, they were three hundred spirit stones each, making fifty seeds worth fifteen thousand.
The total value after maturation was even more outrageous.
But without spirit liquid, could they germinate in a month?
Even with the favorable conditions of the Spiritual dicine Garden, it seed unlikely.
Jiang Hao fell silent for a mont before saying:
“Accept it, I’ll take care of these seeds myself, no need for others to get involved.”
Not long after, Jiang Hao received the fifty Black Lotus seeds.
Upon inspection, the seeds indeed had no issues.
He found a relatively fertile spiritual field and began to plant the seeds one by one.
Getting them to germinate wouldn’t be easy because even with daily watering of spirit liquid, it would still take seven days.
Without spirit liquid, a month might not even be enough.
But this batch of Black Lotus was his reliance for entering the Nascent Soul stage in two months.
He was willing to suffer a loss to cultivate them.
Fifty seeds, even if only two produced a blue bubble, that would still be twenty-five bubbles.
A one-ti harvest of twenty-five.
He had never encountered such a thing before.
Over the next two days, he occasionally watered the Black Lotus with diluted spirit liquid, hoping they would grow faster.
One bottle a day, thirty days would cost nine hundred spirit stones.
He hoped everything would go smoothly.
That day, he returned to the courtyard.
Jiang Hao took out the Secret Whisper Slate.
......
Two days had passed.
Finally, the item could be used.
For safety, Jiang Hao initiated the identification process.
【Secret Whisper Slate: Karmic treasure, a three-in-one, can be used after temporary ownership is established, and once owned, the true master will not detect nor can they pry into it. Finding another slate of the sa type allows for another three-in-one combination, granting more permissions.】
“The description is really concise this ti.”
Jiang Hao looked at the feedback content without surprise.
All normal ssages.
Another three-in-one would make it a nine-in-one.
“I wonder how many slates there are in total.”
Jiang Hao didn’t dwell on it any longer but went to the cultivation room to start refining the treasure.
He used the thod taught by Hong Yuye.
First, he sensed the Secret Whisper Slate.
At this mont, he could sense nine square blocks floating in the air inside the slate.
After assembling them correctly, he gained control of the slate.
Then he began the refinent process.
Everything went smoothly.
In no ti, he had complete control over the slate, a feeling completely different from having just one piece.
It seed there was a larger space for manipulation.
After gaining full control, Jiang Hao felt that stars appeared within the slate, countless stars forming different patterns.
Then a vast constellation occupied the slate.
Finally, it ford the character “井” (Jing/Well).
“Jing?” (Well)
Jiang Hao was sowhat surprised.
After the image disappeared, he saw ssages constantly changing in the boundless void, but he couldn’t see the source or the endpoint.
At that mont, he saw a bright area in the distance and tried to approach it.
But just as he entered, he suddenly heard a voice.
A female voice.
“I heard that the Tiansheng Sect has been restless recently, planning to attack the Tianyin Sect. Who among you is near Youyun Prefecture? I’ve heard that the Tianyin Sect has many treasures. Huh, who’s there?”
The mont Jiang Hao entered, he saw soone turn their head to look at him.
“...”
