He looked at the stone under the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of taking it away.

I noticed it was extraordinary and kept it. Only later did I learn that the End of All Things was also searching for this stone. Out of greed, I had to leave,” said the Tea Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded but did not believe a word of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not see anything extraordinary about that stone. So, how could this middle-aged man see it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also possible that the other party was talented, but compared to being talented and lying, Jiang Hao felt that he was more likely to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man might have a unique talent, but Jiang Hao thought he was more likely to lie than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the skills from the nameless manual, he had a certain ability to perceive things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a True Immortal could sense it, he could too. He could even sense things that a normal True Immortal might not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not ask anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he could not get any useful information out of it, it was better to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Lands did not hold much allure for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he communicated with the golden ring and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tea Master was still nervous.

If he left, it would be a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stayed, both he and the Ancient Stone would remain here, so the other party did not have any reason to make a move against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Hao had already returned to his courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think much about the Tea Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter whether he stayed or fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no conflict between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, it was enough that he had gotten some information about the Dew of the First Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest, he just did not want to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the end of December.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he would begin lecturing in the outer sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a sect mission that needed to be done well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was laying the groundwork for becoming a top disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only hoped that there would not be too many people making things difficult for him.
