In the courtyard.
A gentle breeze fluttered, setting a red figure's hair into motion.
A faint fragrance was heartening and refreshing.
At this moment, the figure's face held a smile.
But this smile seemed to make one's heart grow cold.
Especially for Jiang Hao, who was in a bit of a tight spot.
He took out his storage bag and checked it before answering the other party's question, saying,
“I checked, and it looks like it really is a bit more than one million, I was just too excited earlier and didn't count properly.”
“Hehe.” Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao and asked,
“A bit more, huh? Has your spirit beast been with you since it was young?”
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“Its dormant beast bloodline is not as good as yours.” Heavenly Note Sect stated.
Jiang Hao did not engage in the conversation.
“How many poems have you written?” Heavenly Note Sect suddenly asked.
“One complete one.” Jiang Hao explained, “I saw it at my father's place and learned it from there.”
“You seem to be more at ease than before when facing those people.” Heavenly Note Sect sat down and gestured for Jiang Hao to brew tea.
“With Senior present in the sect, I naturally feel more at ease.” Jiang Hao said as he brewed the tea.
Heavenly Note Sect watched Jiang Hao but didn't speak.
Jiang Hao quickly brewed the tea and changed the subject, “The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is coming, and it won't be long before she ascends, do you think anyone will notice?”
“What do you think?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired.
“Naturally, they will, this isn't just any Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, it's a person of great fortune.” Jiang Hao poured a cup of tea for Heavenly Note Sect and continued,
“Although few people know, there must be some who have guessed.
“Additionally, many powerful individuals from the Bright Moon Sect have arrived, probably worried about the same thing.
“Whether it's about great fortune or Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, it brings unimaginable benefits to many races.
“If someone could take away a part of her fortune through special methods during her ascension, they would be ahead of other races by hundreds or even thousands of years.
“When a great era begins, it's all about who can take the lead.”
“Have you sensed anyone approaching?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.
“Not yet, but the sect should have some undercover operatives.” Jiang Hao replied.
The sect had many undercover operatives, especially after the beginning of the great era, Heavenly Note Sect had been the focus of attention.
There were even more undercover agents then.
It was impossible to completely eradicate them.
New disciples entering the sect could all potentially be undercover agents.
Even fellow sect disciples could be turned against us.
If gentle methods didn't work, some were direct in their actions.
Just like the methods of the Great Thousand God Sect.
So being of weak cultivation was dangerous.
After the great era, the number of powerful individuals was myriad; those of weak cultivation were in even more danger.
“The ascension of a person of great fortune cannot be hidden.” Heavenly Note Sect said while drinking tea, “She has not yet started ascending, but once it begins, the fortune of the world will be mobilized.
“This process will last one to two months.
“By then, any race will know that a person of great fortune will ascend within Heavenly Note Sect.
“So there's no need for any undercover agents.”
Heavenly Note Sect looked at Jiang Hao and commented, “You seem to know very little about the cultivation world.”
“I've only been cultivating for a short time, and I haven't encountered much knowledge, so my learning is quite superficial.” Jiang Hao honestly said.
How could he know these things?
Never mind those, spells, magical treasures, medicinal pills, he was unaware of so many things.
What medicinal pills one should take during the Return to Void Realm to enhance cultivation, he would have no idea if asked.
He had no chance to learn about them.
But he did know about cultivation.
And he knew more clearly than most people.
Heavenly Note Sect said to Jiang Hao, “After all, you have cultivated for over a hundred years to reach the late stage of Return to Void, you wouldn't have reached such a level without being completely focused on your practice.
“It's understandable that you know little.
“But, did you ever say anything like that when you encountered Helpless Heaven?”
“I don't have the chance to meet him now.” Jiang Hao said with some regret.
Compared to history, he was more eager to encounter Helpless Heaven.
The former is alive and harbors malevolent intentions; meeting him could be dangerous.
The latter is dead, and without malevolent intentions, there's no need to worry as much.
Unfortunately, he could meet the former at any time, but the latter was no longer available.
Heavenly Note Sect sipped her tea without speaking.
Jiang Hao also remained silent.
After a short while.
Heavenly Note Sect put down the teacup and said,
“Now that you have spirit stones, you should also have the Dew of the First Sun that I requested, right?”
“I do. It will arrive shortly.” Jiang Hao immediately nodded.
As long as he was not asked exactly how many spirit stones he had, he would agree to anything said.
“What if it's not here next time you come?” Heavenly Note Sect asked with a smile.
“I will certainly apologize to Senior.” Jiang Hao immediately replied.
“No need to apologize, just change one gram to five grams.” Heavenly Note Sect stated.
At those words, Jiang Hao was stunned.
Five grams?
According to the previously mentioned price, that would be over eight million.
What he earned today wasn't enough…
Today's five million indeed involved some trickery, it's spent.
But the previous ten million was earned through his own efforts…
He had not expected it would not last either.
Of course, more importantly, for five grams, he would have to find a seller even if he wanted to buy.
“Is there a problem?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired.
“No problem.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
With that, Heavenly Note Sect nodded with satisfaction, then beckoned, “Come, come here for a moment.”
Jiang Hao: “…”
Moments later, a thud was heard from the courtyard.
“You should fend for yourself.” Heavenly Note Sect's voice rose, and then she disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Hao dusted off his clothes and shook his head with a sigh.
Although it didn't hurt, being suddenly pushed like that was still unpleasant.
But he wondered, if he resisted as a True Immortal, what would have happened.
Heavenly Note Sect's cultivation was probably higher than his; even if he resisted, he would probably still be sent flying, but there would be a huge clash of power.
Perhaps inadvertently, Heavenly Note Sect would be no more.
The clash between True Immortals and even stronger beings, even just the aftershocks, would be enough for Heavenly Note Sect to handle.
However, it seemed that the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was more troublesome than he had expected.
