Chapter 1605: Chapter 1356: Mr. Tao's Small Token of Appreciation_2 Chapter 1605: Chapter 1356: Mr. Tao's Small Token of Appreciation_2 After hesitating, Jiang Hao asked, “What month is it now?”
“June,” answered a member of the Heavenly Note Sect looking at the person before him. “You should be one hundred thirty-seven years old by now.”
“I have disturbed my senior again,” Jiang Hao stated.
The Heavenly Note Sect member nodded slightly, then asked, “What are you realizing?”
“Nothing, just senselessly daydreaming,” Jiang Hao replied.
It was perhaps an illusion, but in that moment, it felt like the person before him should be walking the path of immortality.
That kind of lonely and desolate feeling was beyond understanding.
But he indeed had some realization.
At the end of immortality, there lies infinite void.
And what lies at the end of the void?
Jiang Hao didn't think it over much.
The member of the Heavenly Note Sect looked at the person before him and then pointed a finger.
A mystical Taoist strength, which Jiang Hao felt, roared forth.
It then touched the center of his forehead.
In an instant, Jiang Hao felt his body being hurled backward.
Bang!
He crashed into a tree.
A familiar pain made Jiang Hao wince.
But upon observing his surroundings, he realized he had returned to his own courtyard.
He had crashed into the Immortal Peach Tree.
Jiang Hao got up and sat on a chair, staying silent.
“One hundred thirty-seven years old,”
Jiang Hao bowed his head and sighed, “Have I become old?”
“It always feels like a few years pass with every spell of daydreaming,” he continued.
He had thought that seventy years would be enough to accumulate full cultivation and lifeblood.
It seems now somewhat impossible.
A couple of daydreaming spells are equivalent to several years.
A few more, and decades would have passed.
Unimaginable.
After tidying up the courtyard, only then did Jiang Hao leave it.
Three years had gone by, maybe the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment would come soon.
Having prepared himself, Jiang Hao headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.
He had just arrived when he saw Miao Tinglian.
She looked very annoyed.
Upon seeing Jiang Hao, she immediately ran over and said,
“Junior Brother, where have you been these years?”
“I was in retreat,” Jiang Hao answered.
He looked around; Senior Brother Mu Qi wasn't there.
This was going to be troublesome.
“Mu Qi has gone on a mission, stop looking,” Miao Tinglian said slightly displeased. “There are usually problems at the mine, so he went over.”
“Won't Sister Miao go over to check on him?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I can't,” Miao Tinglian explained. “Master ordered me to watch over the Spirit Herb Garden. Recently, the Giant Spirit Clan has been up to something. They seem more excited than usual.”
“Who knows, they might just run over causing trouble,” Miao Tinglian said.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
Miao Tinglian continued, “The Seven-Colored Stones have been emitting light frequently. Some disciples have advanced a few levels using these stones, but they acquired some marks of the Seven-Colored Stones on their bodies.”
“This excites the Giant Spirit Clan.”
“They say they also have them on their bodies.”
“When the time comes, they are all our people.”
“Some members of the Giant Spirit Clan, along with fellow sect disciples, roam around challenging others.”
“The sect doesn't intervene much, which easily leads to damage to the spirit herbs.
“So, I've come to watch over the place,” Miao Tinglian said.
“Why do they want to challenge others just because they got the Seven-Colored Marks?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I don't know, but they want to fight,” Miao Tinglian chuckled. “Lately, I've been earnestly searching for that fairy guard for you, Junior Brother.”
“Once I find her again, I'll bring her to you.”
“By then, Junior Brother, don't beg me to introduce her to you,” she teased.
Jiang Hao chuckled.
But it was good that lately, Senior Sister Miao hadn't been finding him other sisters to meet.
He should probably thank that fairy guard.
“Other than the Giant Spirit Clan, have you heard about anything else these years?” Jiang Hao asked.
As for the Giant Spirit Clan, it was likely the work of the Sect Master.
How exactly she managed it, he did not know.
He could do a lot while he was absent-minded for three years.
“Quite a few things happened, some people came from overseas claiming that they wanted to visit you, Junior Brother,” Miao Tinglian said with some worry:
“They are not ordinary people.”
“Even the sect dares not slack off, probably they are immortals.”
“Immortals?” Jiang Hao was slightly surprised. “Why would they want to visit me?”
“I don't know, but it might have something to do with those rumors,” Miao Tinglian looked around and said:
“It's about the flowers in your courtyard.”
“Senior Sister Miao knows about them?” Jiang Hao was astonished.
“Do I look like an idiot who would only find you a partner? You should know I have a deeper understanding of spirit herbs than you,” Miao Tinglian said earnestly. “When I was in your courtyard, I felt something divine. By making inquiries, we know a bit about the world of the powerful.”
Jiang Hao nodded, “So they are coming because of the flowers?”
Miao Tinglian shrugged:
“I'm only responsible for finding you a partner, the rest is beyond my duty.
“You are the top disciple, and I am just a regular inner disciple.”
Jiang Hao: “….”
Senior Sister Miao put it lightly.
But meeting those from overseas was indeed necessary.
“Did anyone else come?” Jiang Hao asked.
“People from the Bright Moon Sect came, but who they are, I don't know,” Miao Tinglian shrugged.
Afterward, she suddenly looked up and said, “I feel that now is an auspicious time. I must go back to calculate. I'm leaving the Spirit Herb Garden in your hands.”
With that, she left swiftly.
Jiang Hao sensed for a moment and discovered that the Mountain and Sea Seal mark had diminished somewhat, though he wasn't sure if it was the work of his fellow disciple.
After making up for it, Jiang Hao found Cheng Chou.
So many years had passed, and Cheng Chou was still in the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm.
The later stage should be soon.
At this moment, Mu Longyu also followed, still in the guise of a monk.
With his hands clasped together, he no longer carried the superior air of Buddhist teachings but seemed to blend into the secular world.
His cultivation was about to reach the peak of the Return to Void Realm.
“The speed of your improvement is very fast,” Jiang Hao remarked.
And now his state had finally merged with the secular world.
Actually, Mu Longyu and Lin Zhi were not much different.
He was only about ten or twenty years younger than Han Ming.
Han Ming should be in the late stage of Return to Void by now.
Mu Longyu was also catching up little by little.
“Thinking of leaving the mountain?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes,” Mu Longyu seriously replied. “Does Senior Brother think I can leave the mountain now?”
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded and continued:
“But you need another year. After a year, I will take you down the mountain.”
“Okay,” Mu Longyu replied without joy or sorrow.
“So many years, and the junior brother also wants to go out,” Cheng Chou remarked somewhat emotionally.
Now only Lin Zhi and Yi remained by his side.
Yi was still young, and it was uncertain when Lin Zhi would leave.
Then Jiang Hao asked Cheng Chou if anyone had come to visit him.
“Yes, they said to let them know whenever Senior Brother is available.
They will come over immediately,” Cheng Chou said.
A Human Emperor coming personally? Jiang Hao was somewhat shocked.
Who considered him so important?
“Do you know who it is?” Jiang Hao asked.
“They said it's someone from the Heavenly Tower overseas,” Cheng Chou replied.
Heavenly Tower? Jiang Hao thought of Mr. Tao.
He then said, “Take me there.”
Elsewhere,
Zhu Shen and Tang Ya were staying in a guest room of the Heavenly Note Sect.
Their arrival had been somewhat unexpected.
There were a lot of members from the Giant Spirit Clan here.
Not only that, but there were also many strong cultivators from the Bright Moon Sect.
Although their cultivations were not weak, they dared not act rashly.
Of course, the Heavenly Note Sect was also very courteous.
The Branch Masters came to greet them.
They had wanted to meet that specific person but discovered they couldn't.
The individual, as the tenth top disciple, held an extremely high status.
When in seclusion, they could not be disturbed.
“What's so special about the person Mr. Tao talked about?” Tang Ya asked curiously.
“Mr. Tao knows a lot; you don't need to ask,” Zhu Shen said while drinking his tea as a reminder.
“You guys love playing riddles,” Tang Ya said, leaning back in her chair and looking at the ceiling.
They had been here for over a year now.
They hadn't done much, just quietly waited.
Waiting for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and also that tenth top disciple.
Unfortunately, they hadn't met either.
Suddenly, someone approached, reminding them, “Two seniors, Senior Brother Jiang has come to ask if you are available.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shen immediately stood up and said, “We are available.”
With that, he proceeded out with Tang Ya.
Tang Ya also adjusted her clothes, not daring to show any neglect.
She would fully commit to whatever Mr. Tao mentioned.
When they went out, they saw a young man standing at the doorway.
His cultivation was in the late stage of Return to Void.
However, the young man looked calm and serene, like an ancient, dry well.
This young man was not simple.
Zhu Shen immediately concluded,
and then approached with a smile:
“Fellow disciple Jiang.”
Jiang Hao looked at the two with some surprise, recognizing them as people from Mr. Tao's side.
“The two seniors are too kind to the junior,” Jiang Hao performed a greeting.
“Not at all, not at all,” Tang Ya also performed a greeting, saying, “You don't need to be so polite.”
Jiang Hao: “…”
Why was Tang Ya being so polite?
When he was known as 'laugh three times,' he had not seen her being so courteous.
During that time, Tang Ya had met him while 'laugh three times' was still alive.
Jiang Hao curiously asked, “May I know what matter brings the two seniors here?”
“It's like this, our master had long heard about your extraordinary nature, so while we were traveling, he also wanted us to bring some overseas specialties for you,
a small token of appreciation.” Zhu Shen then handed over a storage bag.
Jiang Hao casually took it.
Upon checking, he was stunned.
This token of appreciation…
Was that small?
A straightforward ten million spirit stones.
Alright, within my capabilities in the southern region, I could also offer them some protection.
