Chapter 391: Continuing Undercover Work

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The gathering came to an end, and Jiang Hao took out a book to record the key points of this gathering.

First, the task from Dan Yuan was to investigate the Saint Bandits, who were said to be capable of stealing anything under the blessing of heaven and earth.

Second, his true identity had attracted their attention, so he needed to be careful in handling it.

Third, he needed to make contact with “Jiang Hao” as Jing.

‘That’s roughly it. Matters related to the Xuanyuan Clan and overseas are not relevant for now. However, I’m the one who planted the ancient flower seed. If Xuanyuan Tai and Xuanyuan He expose everything, it will bring me quite a bit of trouble.’

The more he did, the more likely he would be associated with others. This was unavoidable.

So, he rarely engaged in troublesome matters unless they were advantageous or necessary.

People like Xiao Li and Lin Zhi had no benefits. He had taken care of Chu Chuan for the benefits he would get from the Bright Moon Sect.

Xiao Li had a knack for getting into trouble. He hoped she would improve as she grew up. Otherwise, setting her free would be a headache.

With the matters of the gathering settled, Jiang Hao began to make talismans.

He wanted to integrate what he had learned so far.

In a few more years, he could continue purchasing higher-grade talismans and start crafting them.

That would allow him to earn more spirit stones.

For Golden Core Talismans, an extravagant amount of spirit stones would be needed. It was almost double the cost of the ordinary ones.

This would increase the speed of earning money by twofold.

That was how it was with talismans. If it were pills…

Where could one buy suitable Golden Core pills for just a few dozen spirit stones? If they existed, they would be the most basic ones.

Anything of decent quality was quite expensive.

In early February, Jiang Hao finally finished reading “Notes of the Mountains and Seas.”

He had also obtained a secret technique that could enhance his cultivation. Coincidentally, it was a sword technique called the Blood Demon Saber Technique.

It circulated one’s own blood energy, then ignited it. It then made it go berserk like a demon and finally unleashed the strongest strike. This sword technique was indeed formidable.

However, Jiang Hao only intended to learn it and not use it.

The sword technique was far inferior to the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade.

The first form, Moon-Slaying, could match the power of this technique.

The second form, Mountain Suppression, was already beyond what this technique could compare to.

‘However, this approach is feasible. If I use this method to execute the Moo-Slaying, it should take the move to a new level.’

However, the aftereffects would be significant.

If he could avoid using it, he should.

He was still curious about how effective it would be.

After all, he had the Revival of the Withered Tree ability if it took too much out of him.

He then brushed off his thoughts. He was daydreaming.

After finishing the Blood Demon Saber Technique, he quit his job at the library.

It had been two or three months since he had been working there. It was normal for him to leave.

However, in Hua Le’s eyes, Jiang Hao had most likely mastered the secret technique and was eager to leave for cultivation.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind.

Coincidentally, there were some matters in the Spirit Herb Garden that he needed to deal with.

However, learning the language wasn’t progressing quickly. He still didn’t know the content of those people’s conversations. He only understood a few isolated words.

It wasn’t urgent. In another month or two, he should be able to learn them.

Outside the Heavenly Note Sect, Mi Qian descended from the sky on a remote peak.

“Do you have any news?”

A group of black-robed individuals received him. They were members of the Fallen Immortal Clan.

“Yes.” Mi Qian nodded.

“Good,” said the middle-aged man in the lead. “Tell us the details.”

“I entered the Heavenly Note as a wandering cultivator and heard about someone called Gu Qin. I figured out that this person might be Gu Qing, so I asked around and found out that she was working at the Spirit Herb Garden in the Cliff of Broken Hearts. I went to investigate that Spirit Herb Garden and found that her trail was lost there. Feeling curious, I inquired about the one in charge of the Spirit Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao. I found out that he’s just an ordinary inner sect disciple and should have no connection with her.” Mi Qian looked at his seniors. “I believe that Gu Qing was captured there, but the trail went cold. So, I went to places people like her might visit, such as the mining site. ”

“Gu Qing has a distinguished identity and considerable strength, plus she had a treasure on her. How could she end up in a mining site?” Someone raised their doubts.

“Let him continue,” said the middle-aged man.

Mi Qian couldn’t refute the doubts. He had thought the same at first. However, there was simply no other option left.

“I found a lead at the mines. There were two in total. Gu Qing was indeed sent to the mining site. As for what purpose, I don’t know.”

This made the person who had questioned him earlier feel embarrassed. He gave a cold snort but didn’t speak.

“What were the leads?” asked the middle-aged man.

“The first lead has only two words: Jiang Hao,” said Mi Qian.

“Jiang Hao?” The middle-aged man was taken aback. “The person you mentioned just moments ago?”

“I believe it’s him.” Mi Qian nodded.

“What did he do to make Gu Qing leave his name?”

“I don’t know. The first lead doesn’t have anything else, just those two words.

I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad sign.” “What’s his cultivation realm?” “Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

This stunned the others.

Why would Gu Qing leave his name?

“What about the second lead?” the middle-aged man asked. “Bright Moon Sect, Dao Conference, Foundation Establishment.”

“I know about the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference, but what does Foundation Establishment mean? Is it related to Jiang Hao who’s at Foundation Establishment?” someone asked.

“Doesn’t seem like it. These should be two entirely unrelated matters. It seems like the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference is connected to something about the Foundation Establishment. This needs to be discussed and determined by the elders of our clan,” said the middle-aged man.

This matter was important. After all, it involved the Bright Moon Sect.

“So, we need to figure out more about this Jiang Hao now.” The middle-aged man looked at the crowd. “What do you all think?”

“Gu Qing left behind a lead. The second one should be what she heard at the Bright Moon Sect. As for the first one, it might be related to her situation. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered to write down his name,” said a man in his twenties.

“Regardless of what it is, it indicates one thing: Jiang Hao isn’t as simple as he appears on the surface. Gu Qing must be certain that we won’t help her take her revenge, and killing a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would be pointless. Maybe she might think we can’t kill this person. So, she left a name for us to guess.”

“True. But Gu Qing has already accepted defeat. What we need is to identify this

Derson. Let’s see if he can Dose a threat to our clan. If he can. we must

eliminate him.”

“If that’s the case, why didn’t she just write everything in detail? We still have to intervene even if it turns out to be a fake.”

“Perhaps he only has a way to target Gu Qing, not our entire clan. So, she left only the name, omitting the rest. That’s why we need to take it seriously.” The middle-aged man frowned. “Mi Qian, continue your undercover work. We will take this information back. No matter what, the elders of our clan will investigate this person. If he has something special, we’ll surely find out a thing or two..”
