Chapter 223: Introducing a Dao Companion
“I heard it’s a mission issued by the sect involving an unparalleled cultivation technique,” Cheng Chou said uncertainly.
“It seems that all twelve main veins received it, and there will be rewards for completion, not just from the sect but also from each vein. What the specific rewards are remains unknown. But with so many Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters coming over, it must be sothing extraordinary.”
Cheng Chou had just been promoted to the inner sect and didn’t know many people, and others didn’t know him either.
So, it was sowhat difficult for him to gather information from them.
Jiang Hao was in a similar situation, just knowing a few more people.
“Do you know what the mission is?”
“I heard it’s a seed,” Cheng Chou replied.
“A seed?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised.
Isn’t this his area of expertise?
Cheng Chou nodded and said softly,
“Yes, it seems to be a very strange seed. No one knows the species yet nor how to cultivate it. The standard for completing the mission is to make the seed germinate. All twelve main veins are competing simultaneously to see who can grow it first. Whoever does is the winner.”
It really is my area of expertise, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel that the sect was handing out rewards for him.
However, with so many true disciples, as well as strong Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, they would definitely all give it a try.
By the ti it’s his turn, others might have already succeeded in growing it, and it’s possible that another vein might succeed before his own.
It’s highly probable that they won’t need him.
With a sigh, he decided not to pay too much attention to it.
“It won’t affect the normal operation of the Spiritual dicine Garden, will it?”
“No, it won’t. It seems that a rather remote area has been specially designated,” Cheng Chou nodded in response.
“That’s good.” Jiang Hao went in intending to collect so spirit bubbles.
Throughout the day, various Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were discussing at the edge of the garden.
It seed that the Nascent Soul-level Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were the first to start planting.
No one above the Nascent Soul level appeared, which was odd as there should be cultivators of that level, but they probably chose not to participate.
However, for Jiang Hao, the Nascent Soul-level Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of Duanqing Cliff were unattainable beings.
Even if they didn’t care about the Spiritual dicine Garden, their presence alone was enough to deter others.
Cheng Chou was tense all day, and not just him; the rabbit and Xiao Li ran off as soon as they arrived.
The rabbit’s connections on the road didn’t work here.
As for the outer disciples and ordinary people who ca to help, they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
They were afraid of provoking those people.
Jiang Hao, on the other hand, was fine, just focusing on his own work.
As long as he didn’t offend those people, it was all good.
“Junior Brother Jiang, long ti no see,” Miao Tinglian ca over to greet him.
“Senior Sister Miao,” Jiang Hao stood up and replied politely.
Looking around, he didn’t see Senior Brother Mu Qi.
“He’s still inside studying the seed. I couldn’t make anything out of it, so I ca out,” Miao Tinglian said with a smile.
Jiang Hao nodded; since Senior Sister Miao, who was also strong in the field of spiritual dicine, couldn’t figure it out, it must indeed be an obscure spiritual dicine.
“By the way, I heard you’ve been taking good care of Junior Sister Xiao Li from the outer sect. Do you have any other intentions?” Miao Tinglian asked with a light laugh.
She had noticed this before when she was in the Spiritual dicine Garden and later heard that he even started to take care of her als.
Jiang Hao looked at her, puzzled.
Miao Tinglian: “???”
Jiang Hao: “???”
“You seem so uninteresting. Surely no fairy would like you,” Miao Tinglian sighed.
“Do you want to introduce you to soone?”
Jiang Hao: “...”
“Do you want to?” Miao Tinglian asked again.
Jiang Hao sighed.
“Senior Sister, I am still young and do not wish to have any burdens.”
“How old are you?” Miao Tinglian asked again.
“Twenty-four,” Jiang Hao replied.
This was no secret.
Han Ming knew on his first day that he was a nineteen-year-old Foundation Establishnt cultivator, which is why he initiated the challenge.
“Foundation Establishnt late stage at twenty-four years old?” Miao Tinglian was sowhat incredulous.
“Even with that, you haven’t beco a true disciple? You cultivated faster than I did when I was younger.”
Miao Tinglian had exceptional talent, and if it weren’t for her problematic background, she could have beco a true disciple.
She had already passed a one-year probation period and successfully restored her cultivation to beco an inner disciple.
Jiang Hao could only politely explain that it was due to opportunities and his own talent was just above average.
“Let’s not talk about your cultivation level anymore, just rember to tell if you take a fancy to soone. I’ll teach you, and I guarantee you’ll be successful in pursuing them—if soft approaches don’t work, we’ll go hard,” Miao Tinglian said with a smile.
That would be deadly, Jiang Hao sighed inwardly, Senior Sister Miao was indeed a mber of the Demon Sect.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense,” Mu Qi walked over at this ti and glared at Miao Tinglian.
Miao Tinglian looked up and glared back.
“Senior Brother Mu,” Jiang Hao said politely, pretending not to have seen anything.
“Junior Brother, aren’t you going to try?” Mu Qi pointed to a spot on the edge and asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
He didn’t want to get involved for the ti being; he would wait until everyone cald down and started to give up before going.
Of course, that was provided no one had succeeded in planting the seed.
Even if soone did, it wouldn’t bother him; he had no interest in stealing the lilight.
Out of curiosity, he inquired about the seed.
“Master said that this task was issued by Elder Bai and it’s related to an extrely valuable cultivation technique. Only the elders like Master know the specific na. In any case, if we help Master obtain it, not to ntion other benefits, we’ll definitely have made a great contribution within our lineage,” Mu Qi explained.
“I see,” Jiang Hao nodded.
He rembered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower in the courtyard and thought that Elder Bai seed quite fond of having people plant things.
After chatting for a bit more, Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian left.
For seven consecutive days, the number of people in the Spiritual dicine Garden didn’t decrease much, morning and evening alike.
And naturally, no one had succeeded in planting the seed.
Jiang Hao continued to wait, planning to go over it when there were fewer people so as not to stand out.
Another seven days passed, and instead of the crowd in the Spiritual dicine Garden diminishing, another matter arose.
The outer sect had opened up a piece of land to build a Spiritual dicine Garden, and each lineage had to send people to help.
The first person in charge from Duanqing Cliff was Senior Sister Ning Xuan.
But since everyone was preoccupied with the seed, the task fell to Jiang Hao, who was “idle.”
“The outer sect Spiritual dicine Garden is opening, and the Candlelight Alchemy Court lineage is leading the project. We’re only responsible for a small part,” Fairy Ning Xuan instructed Jiang Hao.
“Junior Brother, go and see what needs to be done, and just ntion my na if there’s any issue.”
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.
He rembered seeing Senior Sister Ning Xuan introducing a Golden Core to the surroundings in the Spiritual dicine Garden last ti, which seed to be a scouting visit.
So, he was from the Alchemy Court lineage?
People from the Candlelight Alchemy Court were not to be trifled with.
He hoped to encounter soone amiable.
It was also fine to et soone haughty as long as there was no interference.
The trouble was eting soone who wasn’t very capable but liked to flaunt their special status.
......
The next day.
Jiang Hao went alone to the outer sect Spiritual dicine Garden.
But just as he arrived and before he could grasp the situation, he was scolded by soone wearing a pill refiner’s robe.
“Junior Brother, didn’t you see a group of people waiting for you? Do you think you’re soone special who has to make a grand entrance? Or do you think you’re more noble than the eleven of us combined? If that’s what you think, please ask your lineage to send soone else. We don’t appreciate soone like you.”
Jiang Hao was taken aback, sowhat puzzled.
He rembered that he should have arrived a bit early.
However, seeing that people from all eleven lineages had indeed arrived, he didn’t say much.
He simply apologized.
First, he needed to understand the situation.
