Chapter 542: Dragon Pearl

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wu Yong was stunned.

But he quickly regained his composure and smiled. “Alright, sorry for troubling you, Junior Brother Jiang.”

With that, he left.

Jiang Hao saw a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator from the Thunder Fire Peak approaching but didn’t pay much attention.

“Senior Brother, what was inside?” he asked anxiously.

“If you are curious, you can go and ask,” Jiang Hao said and sat down to cultivate.

“What did you see?” Nan Yushu asked.

“A strange spirit beast,” Jiang Hao said.

“How strange?” Xia Cun was interested.

After some thought, Jiang Hao finally said, “I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

“What kind of spirit beast was it?” asked the Foundation Establishment Realm disciple nearby.

Xia Cun and the others turned to look.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He wasn’t familiar with these people.

When he was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he never dared to interrupt a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

After that, the four of them stopped talking and quietly guarded the mountain gate.

No one else dared to linger.

Jiang Hao slowly closed his eyes and continued to perceive the surroundings using the knowledge from the nameless manual.

The matter of the human-fish hybrid was no longer related to him. As for the secrets of the fish people, he had no interest whatsoever.

If he knew about it, he might get entangled in it.

He didn’t want to disturb the peaceful days he had now.

The end of the matters of the Sea Fog Cave would gradually bring him back to stability.

Even if the Saint Bandits were still watching him, they wouldn’t act rashly.

After all, the grand plan of the Saint Bandits had just been shattered.

In the following days, Jiang Hao would go back to water the plants at night and take the opportunity to comprehend the Heaven Lock Technique.

He would return to the mountain gate after an hour.

During guard duty, Cheng Chou would occasionally come over and inquire about the affairs of the herb garden.

After the end of the Sea Fog Cave incident, Senior Sister Miao Tinglian was no longer managing the Spirit Herb Garden.

Naturally, he had to ask the person in charge.

Fortunately, it didn’t happen often, or it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the others.

In the Heavenly Note Sect, in a great river, a white figure appeared intermittently on the water’s surface.

Then, a fish would appear beside it, and the white figure would surpass the fish in an instant.

With a splash, the white figure leaped out of the water. It looked like a rabbit.

Its fur was crystal clear, and its eyes were lively.

It looked proud of itself.

“The water here is giving Rabbit more face.”

After that, it plunged into the water and swam away.

Just after a couple of rounds, a small fish suddenly appeared behind it. The beast accelerated ahead upon seeing it. But the small fish kept up with it.

“Hmm?”

The beast was surprised and increased its speed. But not long after, the fish caught up once more.

The spirit beast couldn’t believe it.

Wearing a collar and a gold ring, it began to speed up again as it splashed in the water.

After a while, when the beast thought it had shaken off the pursuer, the fish appeared again.

The beast stared at the fish. “Do you know who you’re following?

The fish wagged its tail at it.

“Perhaps you don’t know yet, but what you’re seeing now is the future Demon King,” the beast said with a spreading aura.

The fish didn’t seem to understand.

“I, Lord Beast, usually eat people, but today I’m thinking of eating a fish,” the beast said as it was about to catch the fish.

“Beast.” Xiao Li reached out and caught the spirit beast.

“Xiao Li.” The beast wriggled out of her hands and stood on her shoulders. “A friend sent me a fish.”

“Fish?” Xiao Li squatted down and looked. She saw a small green fish.

The fish stared at them.

Xiao Li nodded. “Beast, this fish is indeed sent by someone else

Jiang Hao found Xiao Li sleeping on the table when he returned to rest.

The beast, however, remained alert.

Jiang Hao casually used a spell to maintain the temperature, so Xiao Li could sleep soundly, then he turned to the spirit beast to discuss the matter of the fish it had mentioned.

“Today, I, Lord Beast, roamed the abyss and felt something in the distortion. I competed with a friend on the road, and then I saw an interesting object…” The beast was about to continue, but Jiang Hao interrupted, “Speak human language.”

The spirit beast looked at its master and then took out a small green fish. “I found it while swimming in the river. Xiao Li said it’s looking for its owner.”

“Fish?” Jiang Hao lowered his head and looked at the fish.

Unfortunately, he didn’t understand fish language.

Xiao Li could help, but where did this fish come from, and what was its purpose?

He didn’t intend to let Xiao Li take the risk of conversing with it until he figured out what it wanted.

He appraised the fish.

[Black Fish: A small fish that only knows how to recognize people and pass messages. Wu Yong got it from Shui Luo to gather information and pass on information about Shui Luo. Shui Luo and Wu Yong wanted to tell you about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl to the east of the Heavenly River in order to repay your kindness.]

‘East of Heavenly River…’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

‘Is this the secret of the fish people?’

Although the feedback only showed the name, recently he only had contact with that senior brother and the fish creature.

‘So, the senior brother is called Wu Yong, and the fish person is called Shui Luo.’

Out of gratitude, they revealed the secret.

“Is this even a secret?”

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao put the fish back into the stream to avoid further speculation.

He informed the fish that he already knew those words.

The fish had limited intelligence, and it believed whatever someone said to it.

“Master, where did the fish come from?” the beast asked.

“It’s from a stranger. Don’t worry about it,” Jiang Hao casually said.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao looked at the peach tree that had already borne fruit.

Next year, it would undergo incarnation, and he would likely need a considerable amount of spirit stones.

He had a year to earn more spirit stones.

He had spent about twenty-five thousand on incarnation before. This time, it would probably be around thirty thousand.

He would have to give up awakening the beast’s bloodline for the spirit beast since his spirit stones might not be enough.

When he managed to sell the items he had, it should be enough.

Jiang Hao glanced at Xiao Li once and then disappeared from sight. The beast didn’t notice. It only saw that the Heaven Fragrance Dao Flower had been watered.

In the following days, Jiang Hao frequently saw people from the Thunder Fire Peak.

That meant that Wu Yong had safely taken the creature away.

As for the secret, Jiang Hao had no intention of probing into it.

On this day, Jiang Hao received an invitation for a gathering.

Tonight, at midnight, there would be a gathering.

‘Finally! I wonder how much I can learn from Gui. I also want to understand a bit about the Saint Bandits.’

There was another important thing.

With his achievements, perhaps people with well-informed sources might associate him with the Heaven Lock Technique..
