Chapter 817: Demoness: Don’t Want to Work for Me Anymore?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

September Spring was the most expensive tea Jiang Hao had ever seen in his life.

One pack cost him twenty thousand spirit stones.

However, it was easier to please powerful seniors with this kind of tea.

Tea leaves weren’t hard to come by.

He could always find somewhere to buy them.

The problem was the cost.

For a Golden Core Realm cultivator, it was more sensible to buy magical treasures instead of spending money on tea.

The tea had temporary benefits, but magical treasures could be used for a long time. It offered better protection.

Who would be willing to spend twenty thousand spirit stones on a single pack of tea?

Jiang Hao sat down after pouring the tea for her.

“What does it feel like to master the Heaven Lock Technique?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“It feels like being able to see people’s talents. It even gives you the power to interfere with it,” said Jiang Hao truthfully.

The power of the Heaven Lock Technique was unimaginable.

However, that technique couldn’t be used lightly. It had a great impact.

If it weren’t for the Hong Meng Heart Sutra, it would have been fatal to use it twice.

“What did you give her?” Hong Yuye asked.

Li Min was still lying on the ground.

“Charm body,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao teasingly. “So, you’ve learned charm techniques?”

Jiang Hao was stunned. He recalled the embarra.s.sing moment when Hong Yuye had caught him reading about charm techniques.

He lowered his head to drink tea and chose not to speak.

He had already forgotten about that matter, and he didn’t expect Hong Yuye to remember either.

He hadn’t even looked at books on charm techniques for a long time.

When Hong Yuye had caught him reading them, he had been too embarra.s.sed to open another book in his lifetime.

Hong Yuye didn’t ask further. Instead, she looked disdainfully at Li Min. “Why do you always run to unlucky places?”

Jiang Hao was unsure how to answer her.

He didn’t want to venture to ominous places, but he had no choice sometimes.

He intended to mine for ores and bubbles. Now that he had finally found a decent mine, he couldn’t continue.

It was regrettable.

“Do you know about the origin of that tree, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye fell silent for a moment. “It is said that the Longevity Tree nurtured a clan called the Longevity Clan. When the Longevity Tree was infused with a curse, the clan also changed.”

‘Longevity Clan?’ Jiang Hao had never heard of it.

“Other than longevity, is there anything special about this clan?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye thought for a moment. “They possess a vast life force.”

Jiang Hao was puzzled. What did that mean?

When Jiang Hao asked again, he didn’t get an answer.

He could only continue drinking his tea.

When he sipped the September Spring, he felt much more at ease. , and the effects brought by Locking Heaven gradually dissipated.

But spending twenty thousand spirit stones in one go was indeed quite extra. The side effect of using the Heaven Lock Technique dissipated. It was a shame that the tea cost twenty thousand spirit stones.

He recovered slowly. The Revival of Withered Wood ability healed him too.

After that, he told her about the discussion they had had at the recent gathering. He also mentioned that the ancient pages might be in the West.

He also mentioned the matters of Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue.

“The ancient pages are in the west?” asked Hong Yuye. “Do you have the exact location?”

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Hong Yuye told him to continue paying attention to any information regarding that. She seemed interested in the Sage’s Pages as well.

Any powerful cultivator would be curious about it.

If they obtained it, they could change the course of history.

Having the ability to foresee what might happen was useful and powerful.

Everyone wanted power and control.

“Senior, are you going to the West?” Jiang Hao asked. “I will definitely take good care of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower when the time comes. So, please rest easy, Senior.”

Hong Yuye raised her eyebrows slightly as she held her teacup to her lips. “Are you implying you don’t want to work for me anymore?”

“I am willing to do everything in my power for you, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.

“Who’s going to the West then?” “Of course, it’ll be me.”

Hong Yuye sipped her tea.

“Are Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue a couple?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes. They want to break free from the control of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect,” Jiang Hao said.

“Are they married? Doesn’t the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect know about them already?”

“It seems that they are indeed married. I think the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect doesn’t know that for now.”

Hong Yuye smiled. “The Great Thousand Mental Control is not simple. Perhaps not long from now, their secret will be discovered.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. “Mu Longyu is one of the Heavenly Kings, after all.

Does the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect have a way to deal with him?”

Confronting one Heavenly King would mean confronting twelve of them together.

That was almost impossible.

Although the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect was formidable, it probably couldn’t afford to offend such a powerful person.

Hong Yuye glanced at him with a look that made him feel strange.

Jiang Hao could only change the topic.

“Senior, do you think there is something within that cave?” asked Jiang Hao.

‘You’ll find out if you go down,” Hong Yuye said.

‘Go down?’ This was definitely not a place he could walk in recklessly. There was probably a treasure inside.

This place wasn’t as simple as he had thought.

There was the cursed tree and the black water too.

Out of curiosity, he asked about the source of the black water.

Hong Yuye didn’t respond.

Jiang Hao didn’t press further.

He could only continue drinking his tea. He felt better as the tea took effect.

He seemed to feel a strange kind of tranquility.

When he fully recovered, he found that there was no trace of Hong Yuye beside him.

He had almost returned to his peak state.

Li Min was awake too. She was leaning against the wall and nursing her injuries.

She knew that Jiang Hao had saved her.

Soon after, the others arrived.

When they saw that both of them were in a sorry state, they seemed stunned.

They thought the two people had fought with each other.

Jiang Hao understood that they might have misread the situation, so he explained about the beast attack.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hao wasn’t weak. If they had actually fought, things would have gone downhill.

The five of them gathered together and shared whatever they had discovered.

The cave seemed unusually large, and beasts lurked in many places. They marked all of these locations.

Two months pa.s.sed that way.

Around early March, Jiang Hao stopped digging.

He had been digging here for two months and found that his progress was much slower than before.

He had obtained one bubble every three days or so. He had been lucky to obtain at least twenty blue bubbles in two months.

In three months, he had obtained more than thirty blue bubbles.

They had gained a lot. Eventually, they left the cave.

This time, there were no unexpected incidents.

Outside the cave entrance, Jiang Hao saw the Senior Brother with hidden cultivation.

Of the ten others who had entered the mines, only he came out alive.

Wei Zhixiang and others were amazed.

It was unimaginable to lose so many people.

After reporting the completion of the mission at the Law Enforcement Hall, they went their own way.

Li Min sighed. This was her first encounter with Jiang Hao.

She found that he was not someone she could handle.

She could only let go of the resentment in her heart.

When she pa.s.sed by a lake, she caught her reflection in the water. She thought she would see her usual boated self, but she found that something was strange.

She had changed. Her appearance had changed.

She was shocked.

She looked elegant and graceful. Even she was amazed by her own beauty and charm.

Was this really her?
