It was worthless.

However, he still accepted it at a high price.

The previous talismans that he had bought from her had benefited him greatly. Paying ten thousand spirit stones was not that much.

He still had 190,000 spirit stones. He could not possibly spend it all.

Taking advantage of the fact he was feeling better, Jiang Hao asked the spirit beast to call Cheng Chou and began to explain the cultivation method to him.

Halfway through his explanation, Jiang Hao sensed that Cheng Chou, who had received Xiao Li’s resources, was a little anxious.

Jiang Hao laughed.

“Don’t be nervous. Take your time. Sometimes, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to lose your way. Even if we don’t have much time left, we can’t rush it. Calm down. An opportunity may appear at any time. At that time, it will be time for you to advance to the late stage. One step at a time. These efforts will help you overcome your difficulties.”

Jiang Hao stopped talking. He didn’t know if he was talking to Cheng Chou or himself.

He also wanted hope, but he could not find it.

The only thing that had been helpful to him was Hong Yuye’s attack on him.

Cheng Chou nodded.

He had been working hard and learning to calm himself more.

Jiang Hao nodded. Cheng Chou was indeed very hardworking, and he was a relatively calm person.

There was still hope for his Golden Core Realm, especially since he had a lot of resources.

Jiang Hao looked away after Cheng Chou left.

When he ended up dead, the pearls would erupt. Logically speaking, there was no point in doing anything.

If someone suppressed the three pearls, Cheng Chou and the others would have a chance at survival.

Although hope was slim, he had to find someone.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao stood up and tried to leave.

However, he suddenly felt the stone tablet vibrate.

He took it out and saw that there was a gathering.

“It’s been more than a month. It’s indeed time for the gathering.”

Every time something big happened, there was a gathering.

The matter of the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl was considered a huge matter.

The gathering was a bit late, but it was finally here.

Leaving the Human Emperor’s Palace meant that everything was over.

Putting away the tablet, Jiang Hao sat back down near the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“I’m a little bored.”

In the past, he always kept himself busy. At this time, he did not know how to keep himself occupied.

He had always wanted to create talismans, but today, he had obtained a damaged inheritance talisman, which made him a little curious.

He would appraise it tomorrow.

In the past, he had often asked himself what he would do if he was about to die.

At that time, he had thought of things that he had never done before. He wanted to visit places he had never seen before.

However, when he was at his end, he did not know what he actually wanted to do at this time.

There was nothing he could do.

“Senior Brother Jiang, are you home?” A small head popped in from the gate.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao said softly.

Xiao Li walked in and tiptoed to Jiang Hao’s side.

“Senior Brother, why are you sitting on the ground?” She asked curiously. “My mother said if you get dirt on your body, bugs will bother you.”

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded. He sat down on the chair under the peach tree and said, “What else did your mother say?”

“Mother told me to always follow your lead. You are my elder brother,” said Xiao Li.

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Are you planning to leave me, Senior Brother Jiang?” Xiao Li asked carefully.

“Why do you ask that?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“I had a dream,” Xiao Li said.

“Do you often dream?” Jiang Hao asked Xiao Li.

“Not usually,” Xiao Li shook her head.

“What did you dream about?” Jiang Hao was curious.

Xiao Li was a True Dragon. If she had a dream, it would be something important.

“I dreamed that someone was trying to teach me, but they kept hitting me on the hand,” said Xiao Li.

“Was there something wrong with the dream?” Jiang Hao felt that Xiao Li’s memory was coming back slowly.

“There’s a problem…” Xiao Li was scared. “A few days before my parents… pa.s.sed away, I had the same dream. Then, I had that dream last night. I feel like another of my family members is going to… leave. The only family I have is you. So, are you leaving me too, Senior Brother?”

Xiao Li’s eyes were wet with tears.

Jiang Hao said softly, “Maybe not.”

“Really?” Xiao Li looked happier.

Jiang Hao nodded and did not say anything else.

“Are you sure?” Xiao Li asked again.

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded.

After that, Xiao Li left in satisfaction.

Jiang Hao felt helpless.

He was curious about Xiao Li’s dream. If it was really as she said, it meant someone was at death’s door.

Xiao Li’s power was not ordinary. Her disposition as a dragon seemed to give her a warning before something happened.

Jiang Hao did not think too much about it. He just sat there and waited.

The sky slowly darkened. The spirit beast returned.

It told him that a man-eating woman had visited the Spirit Herb Garden.

Jiang Hao knew that the beast was talking about Ming Yi.

Senior Sister Ming Yi still had a divine soul in her.

He had not visited her to check her situation yet.

There were still many things he needed to do, but he was unable to do anything at all.

After that, the spirit beast told him that Miao Tinglian had asked if Jiang Hao was out of seclusion yet.

She wanted to talk with him about a particularly suitable Junior Sister who had just defected from the Sunset Immortal Sect and joined the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

She was waiting for Jiang Hao to come out of the seclusion so that she could introduce him to her.

“Master, when are you coming out of seclusion?” asked the spirit beast. “I feel like she is good for you, and my friends in the underworld agree too.”

Jiang Hao glanced at it but did not say anything.

He just continued to wait.

In an inn in a big city, Bi Zhu laid many curses around the area and then lay on the bed.

She had waited so long for this gathering.

She wanted to understand the whole situation and ask about Jing’s condition.

This time, Jing was at the center of everything.

He definitely knew what was going on.

This way, Gui did not need to keep guessing.

That was the good thing about the gathering. No matter how far away they were, they could always get some key information from the gathering.

At midnight, Bi Zhu prepared herself. She could not wait to attend the gathering.

She felt that she had crossed the boundless starry sky and landed under the starlight.

However, as soon as she entered, she frowned.

Usually, they could immediately see the number of people in the gathering.

Other than Senior Dan Yuan, there would always be five people in the gathering.

Xing, Liu, Jing, Zhang, and herself.

But this time, she did not see Jing.

Apart from Senior Dan Yuan, there were only four people present.

The gathering began, and everyone greeted Senior Dan Yuan.

Obviously, everyone was curious to know why Jing was absent.

“Looks like Friend Jing is tied up,” said Dan Yuan with a smile.

After that, he asked everyone if they had any problems with their cultivation.

This time, no one had any questions. After all, they were all very curious about the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.

If everything was under control, why was Jing absent?

If the situation had gotten out of control, what were they supposed to do after this?

Everyone instinctively looked at Gui.

She looked helpless.

‘Don’t look at me. I don’t know anything.’ She thought.

“It seems that everyone’s cultivation path is smooth,” said Dan Yuan. “Gui, are you still in the South?”

“Yes.” Gui nodded.

“Someone has sent a task. You need to deliver something, and it’s related to the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl,” said Dan Yuan. “It seems that only Gui can do that right now.”

“Task related to the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl?” Gui lowered her head in thought.

She thought of Jing, and how to contact him.

She had to go to the Heavenly Note Sect to find Jiang Hao.

It was not that difficult, but it would be dangerous.

“When will you give it to me?” she asked.

“It’ll take some time. You can deliver it whenever you’re free,” said Dan Yuan.

Gui nodded.

She felt that this task would not warrant a huge reward.

Dan Yuan’s next words surprised her.

“After you complete the mission, I’ll get you a Snow G.o.d Pill,” Dan Yuan said.

Gui was stunned.

What kind of thing did he need her to deliver?

After that was the trading segment.

Gui felt that the transaction process was very long. She wanted to ask about the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.

She gritted her teeth and waited for the trading segment to end fast so she could talk.

What was wrong with the world? It felt like things were deliberately trying to ruin the life of an eighteen-year-old girl.
