Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shangguan Qingsu had been in the southern region for a long time, but there was still no news from Smiling San Sheng.

Not only did she fail to find him, but she also became the target of someone

else.

Feng Hua had been chasing after her relentlessly.

She leaked the news of her presence in the South herself.

The purpose was to make Feng Hua come looking for trouble.

If she couldn’t find her, then Feng Hua would cause trouble for the Shangguan family.

The plan was to use Feng Hua to stop the Shangguan family.

This way, she could take advantage of all the benefits.

As for Feng Hua, she was indeed powerful, but if she remained hidden, it would be safe.

There was another important reason. Feng Hua had a grudge against Smiling San Sheng.

Now that she was looking for Smiling San Sheng, she would undoubtedly be willing to cooperate with her.

In that case, it wouldn’t be a life-and-death situation between them. After all, finding her would be like helping find Smiling San Sheng for both their benefits.

If their interests aligned, there might be some minor problems, but they wouldn’t have any major trouble between them.

As for the other members of the Shangguan family, it was hard to say.

After all, there had to be someone for them to vent their frustration on.

Everything had been going smoothly until a sudden change had happened. It left her confused.

After all, such a twist had never occurred before.

At that moment, she felt the curse on her forehead spreading throughout her body.

The pain began to emerge.

She quickly sat down.

This time, it seemed different from before. The pain came slowly.

Jiang Hao walked to the cursed tree.

He looked at the tree. It towered over everything.

It made his scalp tingle.

If it weren’t for the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, he wouldn’t have dared get this close.

This showed the devastating effect of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

However, he had never experienced it himself.

He had seen what it could do but had never understood how it affected everything because he had never felt it himself.

Perhaps those who experienced it didn’t live long to tell the tale.

He tried to wipe the trunk. Although there was dust on it, he didn’t get any bubbles.

‘It’s not working…’

He appraised the tree.

[Longevity Cursed Tree: In ancient times, a person cursed themselves into the Longevity Tree in pursuit of eternal life. They intended to become immortal. When the curse spread across the land, they sealed themselves willingly into the tree. Once sealed, they left behind their shadow. The main body breathes once every three months and resonates with the shadows.]

‘It’s the Longevity Tree! But it’s cursed…’

Jiang Hao was amazed.

Moreover, this tree was not the main body. It was just a residual shadow.

If just a mere shadow was this formidable, it was unimaginable how terrifying the main body would be.

‘Breathes once every three months… and resonates with the shadow…’

This kind of thing needed to be avoided. He didn’t want to get involved.

This unlucky treasure was of no use to him.

Just as he walked out of the forest, Jiang Hao met a woman in white.

Jiang Hao recalled that she was the leader of the other team before. The one at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

At that moment, she looked ice-cold. She was injured in her left arm.

“Greetings, Senior,” Jiang Hao said in greeting. She ignored him and quickly entered the forest.

Jiang Hao felt puzzled.

Soon, another person appeared.

It was a leader of another team who was supposed to be at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. However, he had revealed his real cultivation realm now. He was actually at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

“Greetings, Senior Brother,” Jiang Hao said.

Just like the woman before, the man ignored him and headed into the forest.

It seemed likely that he was going into the forest to kill the Senior Sister from

It was evident that their conflict wasn’t over.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

After that, he quickly left. If the two of them came out of the forest, he might get into trouble.

Although the sect might not intervene, being seen here wouldn’t be good.

He didn’t want to invite trouble.

Jiang Hao found that Li Min had returned when he went back to the mine. “I’ve found a mineral vein,” Li Min said as soon as she saw him.

“Take me there,” he said.

Soon, they arrived in front of a slightly damp wall where there was a crude cave.

“It’s inside. I discovered it,” Li Min said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He entered it and found out that she was indeed right.

Finally, they could start mining for real.

“However, Senior Brother Wei seems to have seen a demonic beast here. Although it pa.s.sed by quickly, there’s still some danger, ” Li Min said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He had a.s.sumed that she would make a move against him, but she showed no signs of doing that yet.

But he still needed to be careful.

They had found the cursed tree, an ore vein, and the black river. They had gained quite a lot from this trip.

It was time to report to the sect.

If they don’t act now, they might miss the opportunity.

Right timing was everything.

At that moment, something approached from a distance.

It headed toward Li Min.

‘Perfect timing!’

Jiang Hao didn’t make a move. Soon, a stone-like demonic beast leaped out of the mine and crashed into Li Min at a thunderous speed.

Bang!

By the time Li Min saw it, it was too late.

In an instant, the bones in her body shattered.

She flew backward, and blood sprayed everywhere.

She fainted.

The demonic beast then turned toward Jiang Hao and charged at him.

Bang!

The moment it moved, Jiang Hao walked over.

Immediately after, it disappeared into the ground and turned to ashes.

It was dead.

Jiang Hao stood by Li Min’s side and set up the Mountain Sea Seal. He also used the Yin-Yang Bracelet and activated the Heavenly Cauldron.

Only then did he take out the sealed bead with the charm body that he had extracted from the scholar’s wife on one of his trips.

“Whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck.”

Jiang Hao activated the Heaven Lock Technique and pressed the purple bead on Li Min’s forehead.

In an instant, the seal broke, and the essence of the charm body began to merge with Li Min.

After a while, Jiang Hao stepped back.

He deactivated the Heaven Lock Technique.

He felt exhausted.

Using Heaven Lock took away too much of his energy. It didn’t harm his cultivation realm but drained his essence, spirit, and energy.

Fortunately, he had many divine abilities that protected him. Otherwise, he would have been in danger.

After that, he packed up his things and sat outside to rest. He would continue mining after recovering.

“You can use the Heaven Lock Technique?” asked a voice.

Jiang Hao was leaning against the wall in exhaustion. He looked to his side and saw that Hong Yuye had arrived.

“I’m just testing it out,” he said with difficulty. Hong Yuye sat down, and a tea table appeared. Before her

She gestured for Jiang Hao to brew some tea.

He didn’t protest. He brought out the September Spring he had recently bought.

He had bought two packs for forty thousand spirit stones.

He still had one hundred and eighty thousand left.

It was more than enough.

Hong Yuye looked surprised. She looked at him carefully. “You earned a lot of spirit stones lately?”

“Senior, you must be joking. Where will I get so many spirit stones? I earned forty thousand in the Corpse Realm and spent it all on September Spring to please you,” he said.

Hong Yuye chuckled..
