Elder Lin sat on the chair beside the table and wrote down what had happened today.

Then, he placed the notebook on the bookshelf in the corner.

The shelf was magical and was used to store performance and customer information. The shelf made it easier to distinguish between everything.

After putting the things away, Elder Lin sighed.

He knew that many people would come seeking him soon.

As expected, two people knocked on his door after a while.

It was an old man and a beautiful woman.

They were at the Immortal Ascension Platform.

“They were at the Foundation Establishment Realm and spent ten thousand spirit stones on some tea?” The old man, Xu Ji, smiled. “Friend Lin, I’m afraid you’ve encountered the Green Bandit.”

“I’ve heard of those two people too,” said the beautiful woman Zhong Yan. “It is said that those two people seem like they are at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but they dare to talk to experts. It makes people feel that they are not all they seem. They have often appeared in the sea area governed by the Twelve Heavenly Kings. It is expected for weaker people to be deceived, but I didn’t know you would be deceived too. That’s surprising.”

The two of them sat down and poured tea for themselves.

“Friend Lin, you said you can’t see through their cultivation realm?” Xu Ji smiled. “Is it really possible for them to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

“Exactly!” said the beautiful woman Zhong Yan. “Friend Lin, you have been deceived. If you encounter them again, call us to help you figure it out.”

Elder Lin felt a little awkward.

He did not know how to respond.

He might really have been deceived by two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!

He felt really aggrieved.

He realized that those two people had not revealed any extraordinary auras from beginning to end.

On the street, Jiang Hao counted his spirit stones as they headed back. He still had 6,121 spirit stones.

He was rather sentimental. He still had a few spirit stones.

He was at his poorest after becoming an immortal.

In the Heavenly Note Sect, he would still be considered wealthy.

However, 6,000 spirit stones were not enough, especially since he had sold the precious things he had.

Although he still had some things on him, they weren’t worth much.

He had killed someone in the Dragon Cave, but that person did not have much in the storage treasure.

They reached a pastry shop and decided to eat something there.

He also took a look at the surroundings.

The place had many floors, and they could see the location of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

They arrived early and found a good spot with a nice view at the edge of the balcony.

“What would you like to eat?” asked the waiter.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and ordered the signature pastries of the shop.

After a while, the pastries were served. There were a total of three plates, each with only three pieces. They all looked different.

Jiang Hao took out some tea and soaked it in the hot water.

These two packs of tea leaves had cost him ten thousand spirit stones.

When he bought the pastries, the person at the shop was stunned.

He brought the pastries personally.

He was the politest person Jiang Hao had ever seen.

He did not look down on Jiang Hao even though his displayed cultivation was low.

The next time they met, Jiang Hao would buy more if he had more spirit stones.

This time, he was a little short of money.

After making the tea, Jiang Hao poured a cup for Hong Yuye.

Then, he looked into the distance.

He used the skills from the nameless manual and activated the Heaven Lock Technique.

He wanted to see if there was anything special in the location where the Heavenly Spirit Tribe was.

From afar, one could see an isolated island.

Spiritual energy surged around the island, and the power of the sea gathered there.

One could vaguely see two shadows shuttling through the sea.

One was stable, while the other was blurry.

Perhaps those were two Ancestral Lands of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

It seemed that Xing would not delay any longer. Once the Ancestral Lands stabilized, the entrance would open.

At that time, many people would go there.

It was all for that divine item.

Some wanted to destroy it, while others wanted to activate it.

That would define the rise and fall of many clans.

“Fellow Disciple,” said a voice and Jiang Hao snapped back to reality.

He looked up to see a young man and a young woman.

The two of them were dressed in white, and they had the faint aura of immortals.

Their temperament was extraordinary.

But…

‘Early Golden Core Realm?’

Jiang Hao frowned. He tried to project his senses to detect anything strange going on.

However, he did not find anything.

They seemed like they really were at the Golden Core Realm.

It seemed that they had just advanced recently.

But how could a Golden Core Realm cultivator have such an aura?

It was especially true for the young man. He smiled, but it was clear that there was only indifference in his eyes.

It made Jiang Hao wonder if these two were extraordinary existences, just like Hong Yuye.

Then, he said politely, “Seniors, is there anything you need?”

“Can we share the table?” asked the young man politely. “The view is so nice from here. It’s just the right spot, so I wanted to ask if you’d be okay with sharing the table.”

Normally, Jiang Hao would not have any problem with it.

But Hong Yuye was there with him, so it was not a good idea.

“We have some decent tea that you two can taste,” said the young man with a smile.

Seeing that the tea he had brewed had already finished, Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye.

Since she did not say anything, he agreed.

The table was square. He and Hong Yuye were on one side, and they let the other two have the other two sides.

“I am An Laiming. This is my junior sister, Nalan Huihui.” An Laiming sat down and introduced himself and the young woman.

“I’m San Sheng. This is Senior Hong,” said Jiang Hao politely.

An Laiming smiled. “What would you like to drink? Red Azure, September Spring, or Deep Point?”

“Deep Point tea. It tastes better than the others,” said Nalan Huihui before Jiang Hao could respond.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

These people had Deep Point tea?

He felt a little uneasy. Were they really at the Golden Core Realm?

Hong Yuye did not say anything.

However, no matter how he looked at it, they were clearly at the Golden Core Realm.

There was no other aura.

There was another way to find out. That was to use the Daily Appraisal ability.

However, Hong Yuye was right there, so he could not use it.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao looked at the two.

He activated the Heaven Lock Technique.

The Heaven Lock Technique could not see into their cultivation realm, but it would be able to sense their talent.

If these two people were really experts like Hong Yuye, their talents and opportunities were definitely not ordinary.

Experts were different from the rest.

After a while, Jiang Hao looked at the tea in front of him. It was indeed Deep Point tea, just like the one Situ Wudao had offered.

It made Jiang Hao even more curious.

“Fellow Disciple, are you here for the Heavenly Spirit Tribe as well?” An Laiming asked.

“You are here for that too, Seniors?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Not really. We were just pa.s.sing by and noticed that many people had gathered in this place, so we stayed to watch the show,” said An Laiming and smiled.

“When do you think that island will open? Isn’t it fascinating?”

‘Does he want to ask about the Ancestral Lands?’ Jiang Hao thought.

“It should open in a few days. I heard it’s complicated to enter the place. You have to be at or below the Immortal Ascension Platform,” said Jiang Hao.

“Below Immortal Ascension Platform?” An Laiming smiled. “If that was the case, why would they let everyone make sufficient preparations? I feel like there is more to the situation than meets the eye.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Does this person really know things or is he just guessing?’
