Chapter 454: The Great Changes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao looked at the peach tree in his courtyard.

The peaches on the trees were ripening.

It wouldn’t be long before they could be picked and eaten.

Turning his gaze away, Jiang Hao looked at a panel.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 30]

[Cultivation: Early Stage of the Soul Ascension Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart

Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Subst.i.tution (unique), Daily Appraisal,

Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of

Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron] [Lifeblood: 5/100 (Can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 6/100 (Can be cultivated)]

[Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be obtained)]

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel a bit nostalgic. He was almost thirty-one now.

He recalled when he was twenty. Unknowingly, ten years had pa.s.sed. Meeting Hong Yuye was eleven years ago. The speed of growth over these eleven years far exceeded his expectations.

Whether it was changes in the cultivation realm or mental state, everything had happened quite rapidly. Even his understanding of the world of cultivation had progressed quickly, thanks to his access to the stone tablet.

Thinking back, he realized that he had experienced so much in such a short time. Before the age of nineteen, everything had been relatively smooth, and he rarely encountered difficulties. Now, with more people and more things to deal with, he couldn’t find the same peace of mind as before.

‘I wonder how profitable mining would be now.’

With his improved cultivation, mining might no longer be as lucrative as it used to be, and it might be more profitable to focus on growing the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Shaking his head, he s.h.i.+fted his attention to the spiritual energy in the courtyard.

After observing for half a month, he noticed that not only had the spiritual energy increased in his surroundings, but it had also risen throughout the entire Heavenly Note Sect.

It should be the same in the surrounding areas. No one knew why. It had suddenly increased. During this time, Jiang Hao took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and sealed it. He noticed that the number of days might increase.

Since returning, he had observed that the progress in the Outer Sect’s Herb Medicine Garden had suddenly increased. It seemed that a small amount of lifeblood had appeared suddenly and combined with the increase in spiritual energy, the progress was rapid.

All signs pointed to one thing. The world was changing for the better, and the only thing that could be related to this was the Heavenly Dao Foundation

Establishment.

To learn more, he sent Cheng Chou out to gather more information.

Now that the three-month deadline had arrived, he needed to make a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall.

It was still the same senior sister from before.

This senior sister seemed idle. She was always present at the reception. Junior Brother Jiang, are you here to submit a task? Is it completed?” asked the senior sister with a smile.

” Junior Brother Jiang, are you here to submit a task? Is it completed?” asked the senior sister with a smile. Jiang Hao lowered his head. “No.”

The senior sister smiled. “It’s okay. Do you want to split the repayment into three months?” she asked.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hao decided to repay in three months.

“Three months? Okay. Would you like to repay five hundred now or a thousand? Junior Brother, if you have difficulties, we won’t rush you. How about five hundred? If it’s not convenient, you can repay within two years, which will be easier for you,” said the senior sister.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

In the end, he handed over a thousand spirit stones. There would be another fifteen hundred to pay in the future.

When he left, the senior sister happily told him to come back next time.

Jiang Hao gave a hasty response. He never wanted to come here if he could help it.

With the amount of spirit stones he had paid to the Law Enforcement Hall till now, it was enough to buy Red Azure Tea.

He now had 26,500 spirit stones left.

Originally, he had thirty-five thousand, but he spent three thousand to buy a Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill. He had spent another 4,500 on a collar, and one thousand to repay his debt to the Law Enforcement Hall. He still owed them one thousand five hundred.

If necessary, he could sell two Heaven Rejuvenation Pills in the future.

So, he was sure he had enough.

His cultivation was currently only at the late stage of the Foundation

Establishment Realm, and it wasn’t easy to obtain Heavenly Rejuvenation Pills. It would be much safer to wait until after reaching the Golden Core Realm to sell them.

Since he wasn’t lacking spirit stones, he could only wait.

At the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao saw the bubbles the moment he entered. Most of them were white.

[Strength +1] [Spirit +1]

[Spirit Sword +1]

He felt good. He liked his life for now.

If he went out, he not only had to interact with people, but he also had to do many things to keep himself safe. Facing powerful individuals would be fatal.

He had to admit that there were many geniuses in the Star-Moon City, and it was worth getting to know them.

But after experiencing it, he still longed for the life he had built here.

When he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had offended the Sunset Immortal Sect and Heavenly Joy Pavilion. Later, killing Yan Hua had caused trouble with the Heavenly Saint Sect. Now, with time, it seemed that the Sunset Immortal Sect had let go of their grudge.

Although it would take some time for the Heavenly Saint Sect to do the same, it couldnt be helped.

Perhaps the Heavenly Joy Pavilion would finally let go as well.

So, Jiang Hao thought it was safer to stay here and cultivate spirit herbs until those people could let go of their grudges.

There was no need to go to other places. He couldn’t escape Hong Yuye’s grasp anyway.

At noon, Cheng Chou returned.

“How did it go?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I did find a lot of information,” Cheng Chou said. “I went to the drought-affected areas this year, and they said that it has been raining for a month now, and the Zhuang family has survived. Not only that, but they also feel that this year might be a year of abundance. In places where there was flooding, the water receded, and many people managed to survive. They all feel that it’s the mercy of the immortals and the blessings of heaven.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He knew that this was the influence of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

He originally thought the impact wouldn’t be so significant, but he hadn’t expected it to be so terrifying.

With the rise in spiritual energy, the land became even more fertile. It affected both ordinary people and cultivators. It was no wonder that all living things sought to destroy it.

The better the environment, the more unfavorable it was for their development.

“Is there any problem with your cultivation?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There are some issues,” Cheng Chou said without hesitation.

On this day, in addition to tending to some spiritual herbs, Jiang Hao was willing to help with some explanations.

Cheng Chou had been in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm for several years now. With a few more years of steady progress, he could try to advance to the middle stage.

“Don’t try to advance too fast. It’s easy to lose focus, especially when you see others catching up. Your state of mind, at this moment, is crucial,” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li and Chu Chuan would soon surpa.s.s Cheng Chou.

It was easy to become impatient, especially for Cheng Chou.

So, he needed some guidance.

“Senior Brother Jiang, rest a.s.sured, I understand,” Cheng Chou said respectfully.

He understood very well.

Junior Sister Xiao Li and Junior Brother Chu Chuan would both surpa.s.s him soon.

Not only would they surpa.s.s him, but they might also make him feel lesser.

“Have you been keeping an eye on Lin Zhi?” Jiang Hao asked.

After Jiang Hao left, Cheng Chou had kept an eye on Lin Zhi.

“Nothing much has happened in the past few months. Junior Brother Lin Zhi leads a very disciplined life, but he is often bullied by others,” Cheng Chou said.

Cheng Chou had known about Lin Zhi for a long time, as he had inquired about Lin Zhi’s background before.

However, Lin Zhi was only at the first stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm despite so many years.

But for some reason, Senior Brother Jiang was interested in him, which left Cheng Chou puzzled.

However, Senior Brother Jiang must have his own reasons.

All Cheng Chou had to do was wait and see.

Although Senior Brother Jiang was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he gave Cheng Chou the feeling that he had seen and experienced a lot.

After all, as long as Senior Brother Jiang was around, anything in the Spirit Herb Garden could be handled.

This had been Cheng Chou’s experience over the past few years..
