Chapter 488: More Spirit Stones, The Better
After the affair with Dan Qingzi, Jiang Hao finally enjoyed a peaceful month within the sect.
In early July, he arrived at the Snow Lotus Pavilion.
Senior Brother, what would you like to buy?” the woman at the desk asked.
The vendors here would occasionally change. Meeting the same one from last time was pretty rare.
After all, there were quite a few of them.
“I’d like to buy some tea leaves,” Jiang Hao said.
“Tea leaves?” The vendor smiled. “Senior Brother, were you the one who asked about Red Azure tea before?”
Jiang Hao was puzzled. He had asked about it once.
“I was the one who answered you last time. Not many people ask about it, so I remember you,” the woman said with a smile. “Are you planning to buy it as a
gift? Besides Red Azure tea, we have other high-quality tea leaves that I can introduce you to.”
“What is the current price of Red Azure tea?” Jiang Hao asked.
“The price remains the same. It’s still ten thousand spirit stones,” said the vendor with a perfect smile. “Would you like to take a look? Although Red Azure tea can’t be touched at will, we can allow you to look. Also, there are some other good tea leaves here if you prefer.”
“Sure. Let’s take a look,” Jiang Hao said.
Shortly after, in the tearoom, Jiang Hao waited for the woman to bring the tea.
Some tea leaves were quite expensive, and they weren’t left on display. “Senior Brother, take a look at this first,” said the woman as she took out other tea leaves too.
“No. I just want to see Red Azure tea first.”
“Alright,” the vendor smiled.
“A characteristic trait of Red Azure tea is the red tips on the tea leaves.” The woman opened the box.
The red tips were striking, and the tea was surrounded by a dense spiritual energy.
It was of good quality.
Jiang Hao nodded. It was better than what he had bought before, but slightly inferior to what he had found in the Bright Moon Sect.
“Ten thousand spirit stones?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes. It is suitable for giving as a gift, but the price is a bit high,” said the woman as she closed the box.
Then, she began to introduce other tea leaves. “Senior Brother, you can take a look at this…”
“I’ll take this one,” Jiang Hao suddenly said.
“This one?” The vendor was quite surprised. “Senior Brother, you can learn more about it before making a decision.”
“That’s alright. I want Red Azure tea,” Jiang Hao said.
‘Huh?’
The vendor was stunned. She felt like she had misheard. “Senior Brother, are you saying that you want to buy Red Azure tea?”
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. Upon hearing this, the vendor was astonished. “Senior Brother, please have a seat, and I’ll pour you a cup of tea.”
“Senior Brother, take care.”
The vendor even saw him off as he left.
Having spirit stones was a really good thing, especially when buying expensive items.
However, he spent spirit stones just too quickly.
Luckily, he didn’t need them for cultivation, or he’d be even more lacking.
He had intended to set up a stall. As he passed through the streets, he saw a formation.
This made him think about upgrading the formation in his courtyard, but Hong Yuye hadn’t given him a new formation diagram, and neither had Elder Baizhi.
Buying it on his own was a bit too expensive.
Just the materials alone would cost a few thousand spirit stones, and he had to set it up himself.
In the end, he bought a book named “Six Golden Core Talismans.”
After that, he set up his stall for a while.
The sales were much lower.
After the sect’s recuperation, the demand had decreased. It was more difficult to sell things now.
When he was about to close the stall and leave, a customer suddenly arrived.
Jiang Hao looked at him in surprise.
The person was wearing the sect’s attire, had a dark complexion, and appeared to be in the ninth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm. But in reality, he was at the Golden Core Realm.
Jiang Hao looked around. He didn’t see others like the person who had just arrived.
He used the Daily Appraisal ability.
[Gong Xin: From the Heavenly River Sea area. He is a subordinate to Heavenly King Bu Dong. He is at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. He is here to investigate the people who appeared at the bottom of the sea and has assumed the identity of a ninth-stage Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivator to join the Heavenly Note Sect. He is currently going around the stalls and purchasing things while hoping to find some clues from the vendors.]
‘Someone from overseas has finally come?’
Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised.
However. this method of ioininz the sect was similar to his.
‘Does everyone think like this?’
If that’s the case, he shouldn’t do it like this next time. It was too conspicuous.
However, when recruiting disciples, it was indeed the best way to enter the sect.
Even the immortal sects had a high possibility of being able to enter other sects.
“Senior Brother, how much is the Divine Walk Talisman?” Gong Xin asked.
Jiang Hao frowned. This person wasn’t really playing his part well.
As a Lifeblood Refinement Realm cultivator, he shouldn’t be able to afford it. Showing too many spirit stones to buy talismans for some in the lower cultivation realm wasn’t normal.
“Five for one spirit stone,” Jiang Hao said.
“How about six pieces? I just joined the sect, so I don’t have many spirit stones,” Gong Xin said. Jiang Hao agreed. After all, not many people bought those talismans. Being able to sell them was quite good.
“By the way, do our sect members wear black robes?” Gong Xin asked. “I saw some sect disciples in black robes outside, which is why I wanted to join the Heavenly Note Sect. They’re really powerful.”
“Black robes?” Jiang Hao shook his head. ‘VI haven’t seen them.”
In fact, only those under Elder Baizhi wore black robes, and most of them worked at the Lawless Tower.
Ordinary disciples didn’t wear them.
The person could ask around, but he wouldn’t get much information on Sea Fog Cave.
He paid the spirit stones and then didn’t linger. It seemed like he had just asked casually about the robes.
After a while, Jiang Hao closed his stall and went to the Task Hall.
The Senior Sister, who was at the reception, smiled at him. “Junior Brother, failed another mission again? There’s still a month left. You still have a chance to complete it.”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
In the end, he paid a thousand spirit stones and left behind a balance of 1,500 spirit stones to be paid within the next three months.
When he returned to his courtyard, he saw that the peach tree was beginning to blossom.
In a month or two, it would bear fruit.
The spirit beast was clinging to the bamboo beside it as it nibbled on the leaves.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Hao was surprised. “Eating bamboo leaves. It tastes better than carrots. Master, would you like to
“No, thank you.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
The spirit beast was really strange sometimes.
“Master, I noticed something lately,” the beast said as it hung upside down from a branch.
“What is it?” Jiang Hao sat down.
“You haven’t tied me up for a while now. When will you tie me up again, Master?” asked the beast expectantly.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
He sighed. He had no spirit stones to do that.
Ignoring the rabbit, Jiang Hao got up and went into his house. He read the book he had just bought on talismans to learn something new.
At the Sea Fog Cave, Baizhi arrived at the entrance.
“What’q going on?”
“We’ve caught a strange thing. We tried to transport it out, but its vitality was disappearing, so we had to ask you to come, Elder Baizhi,” said a black-robed woman.
“Can you communicate with it?” Baizhi asked.
“Yes, but it refuses to respond,” said the black-robed woman.
Baizhi nodded without asking anything further and decided to take a look.
Shortly after, they passed by the stone tablet and arrived at the edge of the fog.
They found tentacles there.
These tentacles were controlled by a spell.
The tentacles originated from a huge head, which looked withered and wrinkled.
It seemed like the tentacles made up its beard and eyebrows.
Baizhi was astonished. She had never seen anything like this before.
There was no record of such a creature in the bestiary..
