Early the next morning, Jiang Hao placed several treasures on the ground in the courtyard.
Since returning from the Corpse Realm, he had been meaning to clean the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
He had forgotten about it due to other matters, but he remembered it now and immediately applied some dirt to it.
Dirt was more noticeable and could show actual effects. However, it would take at least a day.
Once he confirmed that there were no more items, Jiang Hao put away his things.
Then he approached the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
After watering it, he touched the flower petals softly. The top was just budding, and it had no trace of dirt on it.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao decided not to use dirt on it.
The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower already gave him bubbles and dirtying it
was unnecessary.
Having completed these tasks, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden to tend to the spirit herbs.
He intended to wipe an item every day.
After wiping it clean, he would make it dirty again and put it away.
After a few days, he could determine if it was effective.
If it wasn’t useful, he could try changing it every month or two.
On the second day, Jiang Hao took out the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
He gently wiped off the dust on it.
After wiping it several times, nothing appeared. He put it away after making it dirty.
On the third day, he took the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
Still nothing.
He made it dirty again.
On the fourth day, he took out the stone tablet.
Still nothing.
He made it dirty again.
On the fifth day, he took out the golden rings.
There were still four left. He wiped them all together.
Still nothing.
He made them dirty again.
On the sixth day, the Nine Heavens Battle Armor and wrist guards.
Still nothing.
He made them dirty again.
On the seventh day, Jiang Hao brought out the Primordial Heavenly Blade, Shiyu.
He lightly wiped it with a cloth.
He found the dirt had hardened and couldn’t be wiped off.
He tapped it twice and when the dirt cracked and fell off. Then he wiped it with a cloth.
After wiping it twice, a white bubble dropped.
Then it flew into Jiang Hao’s body.
[Spirit +1]
Jianz Hao’s zaze remained calm, but his heart was filled with iov.
It had actually worked!
Although it was just a white bubble, it had happened.
This meant the treasures he had could be cleaned.
Even though no more bubbles appeared after wiping it, it was still a good start.
Afterward, he dirtied the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl again and decided to leave it for a month.
At the White Moon Lake, the woman in the black robe approached Baizhi.
“Received unexpected news.”
“Unexpected news?” Baizhi was standing by the lake. “What kind of unexpected news?”
“Our people were investigating overseas, but we learned about someone from there. They are known as the Forging Hand. It’s said their forging ability is unparalleled and that their hands can touch any treasure. They can even retrieve personal treasures from others’ bodies,” said the black-robed woman and frowned. “And this person isn’t elsewhere. They’re actually in the Lawless Tower. ”
After thinking for a moment, Baizhi said, “Mi Lingyue?”
‘Yes, she’s extremely famous overseas for her forging, alchemy, talisman crafting, and array formation skills. She’s a master in all aspects. Moreover, her attainments are incredibly high.”
Even Hai Luo had refused to mention it because they all wanted to protect the Forging Hand.
Such a person was a treasure in the overseas realm.
“Do you want to use her to retrieve the treasure from Gu Qing’s body?” Baizhi asked.
“Yes, I plan to try to persuade her in these two days.” Baizhi nodded.
Green Mountain Village was a very large village.
Today, many people stood at the village entrance and craned their necks in anticipation.
They were all looking upwards. It seemed like something would come down from the sky.
At this moment, a middle-aged couple dressed in luxurious attire stood at the forefront. Everyone gathered around them, even the other wealthy and influential individuals stood behind them.
After a short while, figures appeared in the sky. A group of people descended from the heavens on flying swords. In just a moment, they landed on the ground.
Leading the group was Zhou Chan. Behind her were three individuals: the spirited Lin MO, the graceful Zhao Qingxue, and the ordinary-looking Lin Zhi.
“Greetings, Elder!” Everyone respectfully greeted Zhou Chan. Zhou Chan smiled. “No need for formalities. We’re actually quite similar.” She then urged the people behind her to go and find their families.
Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue immediately ran to the front and approached their parents.
Lin MO said, “Dad! Mom! I’m here!”
It had been a few years since they had come back. They really missed their parents.
On the other hand, their parents were at a loss. They couldn’t believe their children were now disciples of a sect.
Lin Zhi was searching through the crowd for someone, but he didn’t find the person he was looking for.
‘It’s fine. They might be busy in the fields…’
Lin Zhi tried to console himself. He quietly left the crowd and headed back to his own home.
Others didn’t pay him any mind.
It seemed like everyone knew that he was just lingering at the sect and might not really become a disciple.
As Lin Zhi left the crowd, he felt people pointing at him and talking behind his back.
He even heard whispers.
“I heard he can stay in the sect only because of Young Master Lin. He’s utterly useless. Why would they take in someone like him? My child is much stronger than him.”
“Stop talking. After all, he managed to enter a sect. That alone is an achievement compared to us.”
“Just look at him. Even he himself is insecure because he knows he is good for nothing. ”
Lin Zhi hurried away. He ran back home.
Before long, he stood in front of his dilapidated house.
Looking at the open door and the clean and tidy surroundings, he finally smiled.
He ran inside happily. “Mom, I’m back! I met a very powerful beast. It promised me that it can help cure your illness!”
Lin Zhi ran to the door, but he didn’t find his mother inside. There was only an old woman cleaning the house.
Lin Zhi was puzzled. “Granny Lin, where’s my mother?”
“Lin Zhi?” Granny Lin looked surprised. “You’ve grown so big! I almost didn’t recognize you.”
“Where’s my mother?” Lin Zhi was beginning to panic.
He noticed that two spirit tablets were placed in the living room.
He forced out a bitter smile. Maybe his mother thought her illness couldn’t be cured, so she just prepared the stone tablet.
“Why are there two spirit tablets? It’s creepy.” He approached and took the spirit tablets down.
“Don’t touch them,” Granny Lin whispered.
Lin Zhi froze. He looked at Granny Lin. “Granny Lin, my mother is in the fields, right?” His lips trembled.
Tears were already falling from his eyes.
“Let me take you to your parents’ graves.”
Those simple words dealt a heavy blow. Even though he had known it somewhere in his mind, it was still difficult to hear.
He didn’t remember how he made his way to his parent’s graves. He didn’t even notice that his father’s grave had changed. He stood there frozen, as though his life had lost all meaning..
