Han Ming opened his eyes after a while.

He didn’t sense anything.

After some thought, he changed his spot.

As he walked away from the garden, he felt the restlessness again as if it was tearing away from him.

When he returned to the place, it disappeared. “What could it be?”

No matter how he looked, he couldn’t find anything. “Could it be inside the courtyard?”

He glanced inside. The courtyard was covered by an array.

There was mist in there.

He didn’t enter the courtyard.

He simply walked around it to see if he could find anything.

Apart from a peach tree and a grove of bamboo, he didn’t see anything striking.

“Where could it be?”

Han Ming frowned.

As it began to darken, he decided to leave. He saw Jiang Hao returning home from the garden.

In his haste, he stumbled over something.

He saw a sword embedded in the soil. It looked ordinary.

But the moment he saw it, he felt delighted. This was it!

He couldn’t look away. It was as though he was destined to be here.

Han Ming found it unbelievable. He squatted down to grasp the seemingly ordinary sword.

In an instant, his mind became clear, and the surrounding aura flowed in him.

A strange feeling arose in his heart. It felt as though he was one with this blade.

He finally felt calm. Even his cultivation improved.

“What is this?”

He pulled out the sword.

Although he didn’t know what it was, it was undoubtedly something extraordinary.

He looked around. There was no one around.

But he walked to the front of the courtyard and waited.

He didn’t feel restless now. His mind was calm and clear.

From a distance, Jiang Hao watched Han Ming.

‘I never thought the destined person would be Han Ming… But why didn’t he take it and leave?’

Jiang Hao had returned home early.

The spirit beast had noticed Han Ming wandering around the courtyard.

From noon until evening, Han Ming had been walking around the courtyard like a madman until he came upon the Sword Embryo.

Jiang Hao thought Han Ming would take the sword and leave since no one had seen him take it.

Unexpectedly, he seemed to be waiting for him to arrive.

Jiang Hao stopped hiding and headed to his house.

Han Ming saw Jiang Hao. “Senior Brother Jiang…”

“Junior Brother Han, were you looking for me?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I was just walking by when I found a sword at your place that was right for me. I was wondering if you would be willing to sell it,” said Han Ming as he brought out the Sword Embryo.

“I don’t really need that sword. Do you want it?” asked Jiang Hao.

‘Yes.”

“Then, take it as a gift from me, Junior Brother Han.”

“No. I’d rather buy it from you. Please tell me how much you would want for it.” Jiang Hao was amused. He had bought this sword for fifty thousand.

Junior Brother Han wouldn’t be able to afford that even if he added all his life’s savings and sold all his treasures.

He was a True Disciple, but he didn’t get paid much.

“Well then…” Jiang Hao held up five fingers. “How about fifty spirit stones?”

“Fifty?” Han Ming frowned.

“Is it too much?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I can offer five thousand.” Han Ming handed him four thousand spirit stones. “I’m short by a thousand right now. I can pay you next month.”

So, he didn’t even have five thousand. Jiang Hao was amused.

As for the loss on his part, Jiang Hao didn’t really care. It might not matter to others, but he felt grateful to Han Ming. He had used Han Min’s progress to hide his own for years. So, he felt that he owed him at least this much.

Moreover, the Sword Embryo was of no use to him. Han Ming was the perfect match for it.

If Han Ming progressed fast, it would ensure his safety too.

“I will come and find you to pay the remaining one thousand, ” said Han Ming. He took the sword, bowed, and left.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind. Five thousand spirit stones was not a small amount.

He wondered what legacy that sword would create. After all, the one who wielded it wasn’t an ordinary person.

After Han Ming left, Jiang Hao headed toward the Lawless Tower.

It had been a long time since he had visited that place. He wanted to see what was going on there.

If there were new captives, it was worth a visit. Sometimes, people at the gathering wanted the people in the Lawless Tower. Jiang Hao wouldn’t even know until someone mentioned someone else who was important. Besides, he hadn’t offered wine and meat to Zhuang Yuzhen in a long time.

He also wanted to check on Mi Lingyue and Hai Luo.

If possible, he wanted to ask Mi Lingyue to forge him a good pickaxe for mining. She was a forging master, after all.

At the entrance of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao saw two unfamiliar seniors, who were newly a.s.signed to stand guard.

When they saw Jiang Hao, they were surprised. They blocked his way.

“Junior Brother, this is the Lawless Tower. You can’t enter it just like that,” said a Senior Sister at the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Jiang Hao bowed. “I want to see someone inside.”

“It’s not that we want to stop you, but the place might be dangerous for you. If you want to go in anyway, that’s alright. We’re just trying to warn you,” said the senior and made way for him.

Jiang Hao thanked them politely and walked in.

The two guards looked at him curiously.

Not long after, Yinsha walked out. She looked like she was getting a headache.

The Senior Sister hesitantly said, “Senior Sister Yinsha, there’s something..

“Just now, a junior went in. We advised him that it might be dangerous for him, but he went in anyway.”

Yinsha was surprised. “Who was it?”

“A junior at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. I’m not sure which branch he is from.”

“Golden Core Realm?” Yinsha seemed to understand. “I see… Don’t worry about him. If he visits again, just let him in.”

The two guards looked at each other.

They didn’t understand. Was that junior special?

From Yinsha’s tone, it seemed that he visited often.

On the fifth floor, when Jiang Hao arrived, it was quiet. That was strange.

Usually, Hai Luo would be loud and boastful.

When he saw the cells, he noticed that everyone was sitting against it dejectedly. It seemed like no one wanted to talk. Zhuang Yuzhen looked glad to see Jiang Hao.

“What’s going on?” Jiang Hao asked.

Nangong Yue and others finally noticed him.

They looked at Jiang Hao in delight.

“Finally! Where were you? Aren’t you going to interrogate us!”

Jiang Hao was surprised..
