Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 259 - The End of All Things

Chapter 259: The End of All Things

On the last day, when Jiang Hao arrived at the foot of the Xiling Mountain, he found that the Golden Core Senior Brother was actually waiting for them. freewēbnoveℓ.com

He hurried over to greet him and then waited on the side.

He was neither the first nor the last to arrive.

After a short while, the rest of the people arrived one after another.

And at the last moment, Ye Shan and her companion finally made it.

They were startled to see the Golden Core Senior Brother there, hurried over to greet him and apologize, explaining that they didn’t know someone was waiting.

This surprised the Golden Core Senior Brother somewhat.

In just a few months, these people had changed a bit.

“Since everyone is here, let’s go up and check your results.”

The others nodded in agreement.

A group of eleven then went up the Fine Spirit Mountain, and except for Wan Xi’s White Spirit Flower which was not yet mature, the rest were all ripe.

“You can take one-third of the mature ones as your reward; I will collect the rest. You can choose which one to take,” the Golden Core Senior Brother reminded.

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment, then chose the best Mingyang Grass, a medium-grade Bodhi Flower, and a lower-grade White Spirit Flower.

This way, he could find out which level of effect was better.

After everyone made their choices, they were sent away from the Fine Spirit Mountain.

Before leaving, Jiang Hao noticed that Ye Shan and the others all had a look of relief on their faces.

These people were still too naive.

But everyone has their own way of living; perhaps they would be happier and more content.

However, Jiang Hao felt that they definitely wouldn’t live as long as him.

.......

After a short while.

He received a reward of one hundred spirit stones from the Law Enforcement Peak mission.

It was less than expected.

On his way back to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, he saw someone being beaten in the woods.

Upon closer inspection, it was Lin Zhi...

“You actually wasted spirit stones and pills again, what are you squandering for as a Qi Refining first level?” a Qi Refining fourth level fairy kicked Lin Zhi, who was lying on the ground.

“Yeah, in three more months he’s supposed to be expelled from the sect.”

“Hard to say, I heard his two friends are looking for people to extend his time, it’s good to have such friends. Too bad this trash can’t be helped.”

“It’s almost been three years, and he’s still at Qi Refining first level, I’ve never seen a disciple with such poor talent.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll come back next time, we can always rob some spirit stones.”

Jiang Hao shook his head and then turned to leave.

It was an unavoidable situation.

He couldn’t intervene, nor was there a need to.

As a spiritual mentor, the rabbit would guide Lin Zhi on what to do.

He couldn’t show his face too much.

Some things, even if done, don’t need to be mentioned; he was happy to see others step forward and take the credit.

......

“Senior Sister Zhou is too polite, staying for one more year is no trouble,” said a Foundation Establishment early stage who managed the outer disciples at Duanqing Cliff, smiling as he accepted two spirit stones.

“Then I’ll trouble Junior Brother,” Zhou Chan said with gratitude as she and Zhao Qingxue turned to leave after thanking him.

They came to ensure Lin Zhi could stay for another year.

Another year and he should be able to reach Qi Refining second level.

Zhao Qingxue also expressed her thanks before leaving:

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“It’s a small effort,” the Foundation Establishment middle stage man said with a smile and a shake of his head.

He was almost at his limit after Foundation Establishment and could only hold some positions in the outer sect, enjoying some benefits.

After sending them off, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he touched the two spirit stones and smiled.

As for Lin Zhi’s situation...

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but that he couldn’t.

He took out the register and looked at the list of disciples staying.

Lin Zhi’s name had already been crossed out.

That is to say, Lin Zhi had no time limit on him, but for some reason, these people were unaware.

They even asked him to help Lin Zhi stay for another year.

He felt a bit embarrassed not to accept the spirit stones that were offered to him.

And indeed, he could stay for another year.

However, why Lin Zhi could stay indefinitely, he did not know.

He had just received an order one day.

It was an order from the highest authority at Duanqing Cliff.

......

After spending some time in the Spiritual Medicine Garden and taking care of some spiritual medicines, Jiang Hao returned to his own courtyard.

He placed the recently obtained items on the table.

There were three spiritual medicines, with a total selling price of around seven hundred.

Considering it as a mission reward, it was quite generous.

Plus the one hundred he received, he had a total of eight hundred spirit stones.

Jiang Hao had no immediate plans to sell these three spiritual medicines; he wanted to see if their effects were the same as other spiritual medicines.

Besides these, there were ten bottles of Foundation Establishment pills and the magical treasure Ruyi Mountain Shield.

The magical treasure had already been appraised, one bottle of spiritual medicine had been appraised, and it would take nine days to appraise the rest.

At that time, he would use them all as a medium for a curse.

The success rate should be a bit higher.

He’ll resell the leftovers after some time to recoup some of the costs.

When the time comes, he’ll also slap on the Bai Ye label and sell them for forty-one each.

If they sell, great; if not, he’ll let them go at a low price.

Having packed up his things, he began to wait for the arrival of the midnight hour.

Tonight is the night of the new gathering.

For Jiang Hao, who is in the Tianyin Sect, the gathering is the only way he can learn about the outside world.

Securing his seat, this gathering should be quite beneficial for him.

For instance, he learned about Zhuang Yuzhen’s arrival at one such gathering.

......

Midnight.

Jiang Hao stepped onto the stone slab and landed in the common area.

Today, besides Senior Dan Yuan, there were four others attending the gathering.

Jiang Hao had always been curious about who the others were.

But it was also good that they didn’t come too often, as too many people would prevent him from leaving an impression of being mysterious, powerful, and solitary.

After greeting Senior Dan Yuan, it was time to resolve any cultivation confusions.

Only Xing raised doubts about a cultivation technique, which sounded like a very powerful attack method.

It was called Vast Sun and Moon.

And Senior Dan Yuan seemed to understand this technique very well, answering Xing’s questions one by one.

“Now that there are no more questions, let’s talk about the previous task.”

Dan Yuan looked at everyone and asked, “Did anyone have any success with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?”

The others shook their heads, and so did Jiang Hao.

“There’s no rush,” Dan Yuan said with a smile, looking at Jiang Hao.

“The information you wanted is ready. Would you like to know it alone, or should I just say it out loud?”

“Alone,” Jiang Hao said.

Such matters might relate to him personally, so it was safer to keep it private.

“Alright,” Dan Yuan nodded, and then a stone slab appeared in front of Jiang Hao.

“Just place your hand on it.”

As soon as Jiang Hao placed his hand on it, a message was transmitted to him.

It roughly said:

“The Great Thousand Divine Sect is investigating the Tianyin Sect to find out about its past and present, as well as the history of its location. Important events, people, and items all need to be clarified.”

“The reason the Great Thousand Divine Sect is investigating the Tianyin Sect is that they are working for a mysterious person, who is likely searching for something.”

“As for this mysterious person, they could be someone related to End of All Things.”

The end of all things?

Jiang Hao was quite astonished to receive this message.

It was impressive to receive such detailed information.

No wonder Dan Yuan was in charge, and why everyone was eager to complete tasks.

The rewards offered were substantial.

Jiang Hao withdrew his hand and calmly said.

“Thank you, senior Dan Yuan.”

“Then let’s discuss another task.”

Dan Yuan looked at everyone and spoke again, “The Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead should be in the southern Youyun Prefecture. I will now transmit to you a sealing technique. If you have the chance to encounter it, you can attempt to seal it. If you have any information or succeed in sealing it, you can make a request of me. But it would be best to inform the immortal sect immediately to suppress it.”
