Chapter 407 - Gu Quanzhong's News the Spirit Concealnt Bead
Ti flew by, and before he knew it, the month Jiang Hao and Gu Quanzhong had agreed upon was up!
After ending the call with Gu Quanzhong, Jiang Hao sank into contemplation.
“The mission for Emperor Zhou's tomb was posted by a Ji-surnad youth?”
In fact, during his last visit to Song Prefecture, Jiang Hao had specifically inquired about Emperor Zhou's Tomb with the Fifth Elder.
To his surprise, the Fifth Elder was clueless!
The Fifth Elder explained that while he was part of the Nether King's Hall, the organization was divided into multiple sections.
Thus, the mission concerning Emperor Zhou's tomb likely originated from another division.
Having learned about the Nether King's Hall's rigid internal structure, Jiang Hao had little expectation from Gu Quanzhong and his associates.
Yet, unexpectedly, after a month, Gu Quanzhong had indeed unearthed a sliver of information!
This caught Jiang Hao off guard.
He furrowed his brows in thought.
“Ji?”
“Could it be the reclusive Ji Family?”
“The royal surna of the Zhou Dynasty was Ji!”
“Is it possible that this Ji-surnad youth is a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty's emperor?”
“If so, the information about Emperor Zhou's tomb might actually be credible!”
Jiang Hao mulled over the possibilities, forming a series of hypotheses.
But with insufficient evidence, all he had were guesses.
Feeling resigned, Jiang Hao decided to shelve his speculations for the ti being and instructed Gu Quanzhong to stay vigilant.
Given that the Ji-surnad youth had issued the mission, it was unlikely to be a trivial matter.
There would surely be further developnts.
In line with their agreent, Jiang Hao provided Gu Quanzhong with a portion of the antidote through a special channel, temporarily appeasing him.
……
In his bedroom, Jiang Hao's face lit up with delight as he examined the milky-white bead in his hand.
Simultaneously, details about the bead surfaced in his mind.
The Rank One Spirit Concealnt Bead: Capable of hiding a martial cultivator's presence, undetectable by anyone not at least a full realm higher.
Usage: Simply wear it.
Here's the system's description for the Spirit Concealnt Bead!
Since his family began their martial arts training, Jiang Hao had tirelessly sought ways to mask the distinct aura of martial cultivators that clung to them.
His goal was to lower their visibility, to avoid drawing the gaze of those with less than noble intentions, and, more importantly, to ensure their safety.
Despite his efforts in deconstructing and synthesizing various objects, and enduring nurous trials, he had never co across such a valuable item.
Just monts ago, in what was a routine experint, he had nonchalantly combined a piece of transparent glass with a pearl.
To his surprise, he stumbled upon success!
“A Rank One Spirit Concealnt Bead?”
It appeared that Spirit Concealnt Beads were categorized by rank.
Jiang Hao was aware that rank one was rely the most basic level.
He was uncertain whether a Rank One Spirit Concealnt Bead would suffice.
According to the system, a bead of this rank could not be penetrated by anyone less than a major realm above.
And since he was unfamiliar with the hierarchy of martial cultivators, he couldn't be sure if he exceeded his parents' level by such a margin.
But that was of no consequence; he would soon find out the bead's effectiveness by having one of his parents try it.
With this plan in mind, Jiang Hao grabbed the Spirit Concealnt Bead and swiftly left his bedroom.
Upon entering Jiang Zixuan's room, he found her engrossed in a book.
Despite the recent events and her rise to a higher echelon of martial cultivators, Jiang Zixuan hadn't abandoned her studies.
After a day of rigorous training, she would unwind by imrsing herself in reading.
Jiang Zixuan looked up, surprised to see her brother.
“Brother, what brings you here?”
Without much preamble, Jiang Hao extended the Spirit Concealnt Bead towards Zixuan.
“Zixuan, wear this.”
