“Why are you here?” Gu Qing asked curiously.

Jiang Hao looked at her.

“Do they really think that you’re close to me, so they sent you to interrogate me?” Gu Qing sneered. “Are the people from the demonic sect really that naive? What’s a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator like you even worth? Do you even know why I approached you? It was to kill you. Unfortunately, it was one day too late. If it had been a day earlier, I could have done it. I wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.”

Gu Qing found it difficult to accept it. She had escaped from the grasp of the Bright Moon Sect and eluded pursuit overseas. Never could she have imagined ending up as a prisoner in this place. She couldn’t believe it

He used Daily Appraisal on her.

Jiang Hao knew that words were futile, so he wanted to see if he could find anything.

[Gu Qing: Member of Fallen Immortal Clan. Her cultivation dissolved and was absorbed by the Lawless Tower. She has now dropped to the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. She evaded pursuit from the Bright Moon Sect and escaped from overseas, thinking she could rest and recuperate in the Heavenly Note Sect. However, she ended up as a prisoner here. She won’t let the Heavenly Note Sect gain anything from her even if it means death. She regrets not killing you earlier. Otherwise, she could have control over the Spirit Herb Garden. If her cultivation had recovered, she wouldn’t have been caught so easily.]

“Even if it means death?” Is she that determined?

Jiang Hao couldn’t find anything that could break through her mental defenses for the moment.

According to the feedback from his divine ability, she had no weaknesses.

“Speak up. Aren’t you here to interrogate me? Go ahead, ask me something, and see if you can get anything out of me.” Gu Qing smiled and taunted Jiang Hao.

“Yeah, go ahead and beckon to her. If that doesn’t work, you can beckon to me,” said Mi Lingyue.

Jiang Hao remained silent. He hadn’t spoken a single word since he arrived here.

He glanced at Mi Lingyue and left. He had to think of another way.

“Uh, why are you leaving so soon? Stop! Wait for a moment! At the very least, give an opinion,” Mi Lingyue said.

After Jiang Hao left, she turned to Heavenly Hai Luo. “Your master seems to have lost.”

“He is not my master. This king has always been domineering throughout his life. All the weaker ones are just jokes. I was joking with you. Only foolish people would fall for it. Did you fall for it?” Hai Luo stared at Mi Lingyue.

Mi Lingyue was speechless.

“Scumbag…” Zhuang Yuzhen said coldly.

“Why don’t you come here and fight me one-on-one? This king will defeat you with one hand!” said the Heavenly King.

Zhuang Yuzhen looked at Mi Lingyue. “I suggest you be careful. Don’t be rash with him. Some people shouldn’t be provoked.”

“Shouldn’t be provoked?” Mi Lingyue was incredulous. “But he hasn’t been able to make me yield until now.”

The conversation between these people felt strange to Gu Qing.

She had been here for quite a while, and many people had come to interrogate her.

But every individual, whether through combat or other methods, couldn’t make her budge at all. The others were equally stubborn.

However, all of them acted differently toward that Foundation Establishment Realm. It was as though all of them were apprehensive toward him.

What exactly was going on?

Jiang Hao left the Lawless Tower.

The black-robed woman wasn’t there.

There was no deadline, after all.

He could find them again when he had some leverage.

Jiang Hao set the thoughts aside for now.

Jiang Hao returned to his house and began to make talismans.

Right now, the demand was high, so he could see more.

When everything settled down, he could use the extra spirit stones to buy a couple of high-quality spirit herb seeds.

He wanted to test the waters first.

He wouldn’t dare to buy too many. After all, his previous experience of fostering spirit herbs had ended in disaster.

If those spirit herbs weren’t his, Gu Qing wouldn’t have been so reckless.

Ultimately, anything that didn’t match his current cultivation realm could easily attract trouble.

One or two plants in the courtyard would suffice. Having more than that wouldn’t be safe.

For the next three days, Jiang Hao continued his usual work in the Spirit Herb Garden.

However, the spiritual energy in the courtyard began to rise once again. This surprised him.

In just a few days, it had returned to its previous state.

He was doubtful, so he appraised the spirit herbs sent from the Hundred Bones Forest.

[Thousand Clouds: Can draw and clear spiritual energy. Can be used to treat chaotic auras, and also be used to enhance cultivation. Planting it here was Bai Ye’s idea. It uses an invisible method to gather spiritual energy for your benefit.]

“Hmm?”

Jiang Hao was astonished.

‘The spiritual energy was because of Bai Ye?’

When he thought about how the spiritual energy had diminished when Gu Qing had destroyed the herbs in the garden, it made sense.

‘What is he trying to do?’

Jiang Hao couldn’t understand it at all.

This was even more complicated than Bai Ye just putting a seal on him before. At least then, his intentions were clear.

Did Bai Ye introduce some kind of poison in the herbs? He had no choice but to wait and visit the Hundred Bones Forest to find out. At this moment, Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrating.

The gathering would be tonight.

After three months, there was finally a gathering once again.

It was the perfect opportunity to try and spread the word about Gu Qing and Mi Lingyue.

Xing wanted him to find out about Gu Qing, and he could beat Gui on finding information about Mi Lingyue. Maybe he could get a reward for it. This time, he didn’t need to prepare a lot for the gathering.

At midnight, Jiang Hao entered the stone tablet as scheduled.

This time, all four of them arrived almost at the same time.

Then, Dan Yuan appeared.

“Senior.” They greeted him.

“Do any of you have cultivation-related questions?” Dan Yuan asked.

Jiang Hao and the others were already sitting cross-legged on the floor. This time, none of them had a question related to cultivation.

“In that case, who has information about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?” The others all shook their heads.

“Then let’s discuss the new mission,” said Dan Yuan. “The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl has emerged, and it indicates the return of great luck to heaven and earth. The Bright Moon Sect might have sensed something because they are discussing going through with the Dao Conference. There are individuals who want the location of the place where Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was found. They want to find any traces that might be present there. I will transmit a secret technique to you. It can easily confirm the traces of great luck.”

“Can traces of great luck really be detected?” Liu asked.

He had heard similar rumors before.

Dan Yuan shook his head. “They can’t be detected, but the traces can be

utilized. ”

“Senior, if I also want to learn this, will there be conflicts?” Xing asked cautiously.

“There won’t be any conflicts.” Dan Yuan smiled.

Xing looked at the others. “If anyone has information, you can also sell it to me. I will try to offer a price closer to Senior Dan Yuan.”

Finally, he looked at Dan Yuan. “Senior, what price should I pay for your secret technique?”

Dan Yuan smiled. “Don’t be hasty. Perhaps there will be something you can help me with in the recent future.”

“Alright.” Xing nodded.

Jiang Hao was a bit surprised. Xing came from the bright Moon Sect. He couldn’t possibly be unaware of a method to find traces of great luck.

There were probably only two possibilities: either Xing’s status wasn’t high enough, or he couldn’t disrupt the normal transactions at the gathering.

Most likely the second one.

However, the traces of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl should have dissipated within the Heavenly Note Sect.

Maybe there were still some light traces left.

If that was true, the Heavenly Note Sect was in trouble..
