Last time, he had suffered a significant loss of ninety spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the days were relatively peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the number of overseas people increased, it didn’t bring any significant impacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the sect did not allow disciples to act recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything went back on track, and both sides were unwilling to disrupt the balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they restrained their own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days passed peacefully for over a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for overseas matters, Jiang Hao felt that some of the Golden Core seniors might try to harass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they made a move, he would be able to establish himself as a Golden Core Realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of everyone, he was still a newly advanced Golden Core Realm cultivator who had achieved it through the Blood Wish Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wanted a reason to defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no strong reason yet. I need to find a way to give them one.” In the courtyard, Jiang Hao enjoyed the cool breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was snowing outside the sect, but it didn’t affect the inside of his area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beast.” Xiao Li ran into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Jiang Hao, she stopped in her tracks and bowed. “Senior Brother Jiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The beast is still sleeping, ” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the beast was still lying on the edge of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and drooling in its sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years of nurturing, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower hadn’t disappointed anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still only seven leaves on it. There was very little progress in its growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was a bit worried. He feared that Hong Yuye might ask about its progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been no progress for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appraised it several times. Everything was fine with the flower. It only needed water to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Peach Tree was the same. It only needed water. The only important thing was that it needed other divine items near it to grow pronerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Sweet Leaf Cold Grass, it needed spirit liquid, but it had improved the soil a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growth of spirit herbs in the courtyard was better than before, and the spiritual energy had become denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit herbs played a huge role, but the methods of the Hundred Bones Forest played an even bigger one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like Bai Ye was trying to be friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Bai Ye was still in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. There had been no signs of advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dare to seal his spirit. He feared that doing so might drop Bai Ye’s cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, which would have a significant impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beast?” Xiao Li approached slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, taking advantage of the beast’s distraction, she lifted it and ran out with a swoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, voices came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beast, it’s snowing outside. Let’s go play in the snow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The white snow on the road is making me feel good. Remember to call my name, and the snow will fall even heavier,” said the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded confused. It seemed to have no idea what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can it snow a bit less?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, just say my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can it not snow at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That requires me to negotiate in person. After all, I am destined to become a great demon someday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Then, the villagers don’t have to worry. They used to worry when it snowed at home because they were afraid that most families couldn’t make it through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Li sounded joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices grew fainter. They were leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In heavy snow, times were hard outside. If famine broke out during this time, it would be terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who had experienced it could understand the struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao sighed and looked at his interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Jiang Hao]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Age: 31]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation: Middle Stage of the Soul Ascension Realm]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sutra]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron] [Lifeblood: 99\u002F100 (can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 100\u002F100 (can be cultivated)] [Divine Ability: 2\u002F3 (cannot be obtained)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘In a few days, I’ll turn thirty-two. Time flies…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he saw his age, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his spirit stones were also increasing with his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had now saved over 27,000 spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After buying Red Azure tea, he didn’t dare to spend his spirit stones recklessly. It was easy to draw attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, he could advance in just a matter of days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no accidents, he would become a late-stage Soul Ascension Realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he would be on equal footing as Senior Brother Bai Yi, who was ranked fifth among the top disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I wonder what kind of strength the top four disciples have.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he surpassed the top disciples, the remaining ones were some older disciples and some powerful elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how long it would take for him to surpass them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the looks of it, the first-ranked disciple must be at the Return to Void Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful elders would definitely be beyond that realm. Otherwise, they couldn’t have captured Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders were not like the top disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top disciples were young and with infinite potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the potential was exhausted, they would probably have to step down from the position of a top disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being young, having high potential, and having strong combat strength were the requirements for a chief disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking any of these three could potentially disqualify one from becoming a top disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When people said Han Ming possessed the demeanor of a top disciple, it signified just how high his potential was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And anyone with similar talent was nothing compared to Han Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Recently, I heard that he went for training again. He is probably preparing to consolidate his cultivation and advance toward the Golden Core Realm.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tending to the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, he returned to his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a stone tablet to check the messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the matter with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was over with, the three were active in the chats once again. [Liu: Do you think Jing is watching our conversation?] [Gui: I’m quite curious about Jing. I wonder how he leads his life.] [Xing: It’s hard to imagine. It must be different from us.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gui: Yeah. It feels like he is always walking in the dark… mysterious and unpredictable.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them chat, Jiang Hao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the impression he left of himself was indeed one of strength and solitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his ordinary days were much more boring than they imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they knew that he spent every day tending to spirit herbs, they would probably be very surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled and continued reading the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Liu: I’ve been looking for someone lately, and it’s quite challenging to find them. But with the right approach, it becomes much easier.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xing: Did you find them?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Liu: Almost there. Thanks for the clue, Xing.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the name Chi Tian was mentioned during the gathering, Liu asked Xing about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easier to find the person if he knew about the origin of the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gui: How did you find them?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Liu: I couldn’t find that person because he had changed his appearance. However, I could find the person who led him to that place. So, everything fell into place.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xing: Will the person talk?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Liu: There’s nothing he won’t say. If he doesn’t, it’s because we couldn’t agree on the price. In a little while, someone will go to that place, and I’ll pay Jing’s reward for that. But I think there’s more to come. Perhaps Jing will need my help.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded. Liu was right.
