Bi Zhu felt that everything was so unfair. She always seemed to attract trouble.
As the number one genius of the royal family, her journey should have been smoother.
As expected, she needed to go back and pay her respects to her ancestors.
However, the most important thing now was how to get past Gu Changsheng.
“When can the person you mentioned make a move?” Kendo asked.
“I’m not sure. It might take two to three years,” Bi Zhu said.
She didn’t know that for certain either.
However, if Jing said it might take two or three years, then that was how long it would take. She needed to wait.
Kendo nodded. “It’s not that long. It’ll be fine. I can even go out for a walk occasionally.”
The competition here was not as intense as he had thought. In the beginning, he had been caught off guard, so it had seemed dangerous.
But they had an idea of what they were facing, so there was no need to fight to the death.
Bi Zhu nodded. She had no choice but to wait.
She hoped that the next two to three years would pass quickly.
Early the next morning, Mr. Tao walked into the courtyard.
Tang Ya was surprised. “Mr. Tao, why are you out so early?”
Mr. Tao smiled and sat down. “Is Zhu Shen back?”
“He’ll be back soon,” Tang Ya said.
She had been sensing her surroundings. She was training herself to be more vigilant.
She liked this kind of job. It was simple and direct. She hated mind games.
Mr. Tao sat at the table and began to make some tea.
“Why do all scholars like to drink tea so much?” Tang Ya asked.
“It refines your senses.” Mr. Tao smiled.
“I don’t feel it. Besides, I see others drinking tea too.”
“Well… artsy people drink tea.”
“Then, do you consider yourself ‘artsy,’ Mr. Tao?”
“For me, it’s just a habit.”
“Zhu Shen will be back soon,” said Tang Ya. “Lately, he’s been asking about the Dragon Cave. That matter sounds big, and so many people are already interested in it. Many people plan to go and investigate. They hope to obtain the True Dragon’s inheritance.”
Mr. Tao did not say anything and continued to make tea.
After a while, Zhu Shen arrived.
“Mr. Tao.” He bowed and greeted him.
“Any news?” Mr. Tao asked.
“I went to Heavenly King Taomu’s place to ask around, so I’m a little late,” said Zhu Shen. “There’s not much information about the Dragon Cave. However, he was sure that it would open in two or three years. There is a high chance that it would be guarded by a True Dragon. Not only that… He also said that there might be a True Dragon’s inheritance in that place and news of the Dragon Clan. The things inside might exceed whatever was in the Dragon Nest. We need to go.”
“That’s all? Do you know the source of the news?” Mr. Tao poured the tea slowly.
“We found out that someone saw a dragon’s illusion and learned about Dragon Cave from it,” Zhu Shen said. “There’s another message. It might be related to the entrance of the Dragon Cave. It’ll be here soon.”
Mr. Tao nodded. “Here… Have some tea while you wait.”
At noon, Zhu Shen received the news. “We already have information about the entrance. We can prepare. This entrance has some special requirements…” said Zhu Shen excitedly.
Before he could continue further, Mr. Tao stopped him.
Zhu Shen was somewhat puzzled.
“Let me guess… This Dragon Cave requires one to be at least at the Primordial Spirit Realm to enter?” said Mr. Tao.
Zhu Shen was stunned.
Tang Ya sat up and looked at him curiously.
She wanted to know if Mr. Tao’s guess was wrong.
“Zhu Shen? Is that true?” Say something.” She nudged him.
“Yes. That’s correct.” Zhu Shen nodded.
He thought about it. There was no way Mr. Tao would have known it in advance.
It might mean that there was some problem with the information or with the Dragon Cave itself.
“How did you know, Mr. Tao?” Tang Ya asked.
“Is there a problem with this place?” Zhu Shen asked.
Mr. Tao sipped his tea. “There are quite a number of people who are on good terms with us, right?”
“Yes.” Zhu Shen nodded.
“Many of them have the information and resources we need, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, we’ll use the reputation of the Heavenly Tower to spread the news.”
Zhu Shen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. “What is it?”
Tang Ya didn’t understand, but she listened attentively.
These people always had some riddles to unfold. She hated riddles and mind games, but there was nothing she could do.
“Just subtly spread the rumor that the source of the news about the Dragon Cave came from the Great Thousand God Sect. Let it be known that they already knew the location of the Dragon Cave and deliberately released it now. It’ll make people think twice about entering the cave,” said Mr. Tao.
Zhu Shen narrowed his eyes.
He did not question Mr. Tao. When the news of the Dragon Cave spread, Mr. Tao had told him to discreetly find out more about it. He seemed to know what he was doing.
“What do you mean?” Tang Ya asked.
“What do you think is in the Dragon Cave?” Mr. Tao asked.
“A True Dragon’s inheritance?”
“It’s a trap set by the Great Thousand God Sect.”
“Is it because of the Great Thousand Spirit Technique of the Great Thousand God Sect? Is that why they want primordial spirits?”
“You’ve improved.”
Mister Tao smiled.
“This news is important. Won’t the Great Thousand God Sect do something drastic?” Zhu Shen was a little worried.
“Don’t worry. If the Heavenly Tower can’t even face this, it won’t be able to stand overseas with power,” said Mr. Tao.
Zhu Shen did not think too much about it.
After the gathering ended, Jiang Hao didn’t do anything else and just went on with his daily routine.
If he helped suppress Gu Changsheng, he would be helping Gui.
If he succeeded, she would owe him a huge favor.
He still had to cash in on the previous favor. That would make it two favors in total. One big and one small.
Xing still owed him a reward.
If he went to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe to help him, that would be two rewards.
Time passed quickly, and a month and a half was gone in the blink of an eye.
Everything went smoothly.
Around early July, Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herbal Garden.
When he entered, he saw numerous blue bubbles.
As he walked in, the bubbles began to surge and fly to him.
[Strength ]
[Cultivation ]
[Lifeblood ]
[Spirit Sword ]
The bubbles continued to merge with him.
There seemed to be more bubbles than before.
After a while, Jiang Hao absorbed all the bubbles.
There were thirty-one bubbles in total.
That was five more than before.
It was indeed a lot.
However, he was still a few points away from advancing.
It was much harder to advance after reaching the realm he was in.
Opening an immortal path would be even more difficult.
He didn’t know when he would reach beyond the Immortal Ascension Platform.
Jiang Hao sighed and began to tend to the spirit herbs. After making sure that there were no problems, he sent Cheng Chou to look for Senior Sister Duanmu Yan.
In just a short while, she arrived with Cheng Chou.
She saw Jiang Hao. “Junior Brother Jiang, did you manage to make it sprout?”
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“How is that possible?” She couldn’t believe it. It would have taken her at least ten months to make it germinate.
Only five months had passed after she gave him the seeds.
She felt that this junior was playing her. If not, the spirit herbs might have been tampered with to forcefully make it sprout.
“Please check and see for yourself, Senior Sister.” Jiang Hao stepped aside.
She checked them. “How is this possible?!” She was beyond shocked.
