“I’m Lou Mantian,” said the middle-aged man.
He sat down and smiled. “I have run into you quite a few times, but I still don’t know your name.”
Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “I’m Gu.”
He dared not reveal his full name.
Not many people knew about Gu Jin, but old people definitely knew who Gu Jin was. Jiang Hao wanted to be careful.
It would attract unnecessary trouble.
It was not necessary to use his full name.
After appearing here as Gu Jin, he dared not use his other identities.
“Friend Gu, take a look at the treasures I have here,” Lou Mantian said with a smile.
Jiang Hao was also curious.
He didn’t have many spirit stones on him. Despite Granny Kufa’s prowess, she had kept a low profile and hadn’t carried many spirit stones in her storage treasure.
There was still a significant amount in her storage treasure, though. He found 180,000 spirit stones there.
This was the richest person he had ever seen. She even had a few spirit herbs and other magical items.
If all these items were sold, it might fetch him more than 300,000 spirit stones.
Granny Kufa was quite wealthy.
At that moment, Lou Mantian brought out many magical items. Each one was rustier than the last.
They all looked ordinary, but each contained a hint of spiritual energy. Even powerful items such as these couldn’t escape the erosion of time.
Then, Jiang Hao saw a halberd.
A violent aura emanated from it.
Halberds weren’t easy to sell, and the rust was difficult to get rid of.
“This halberd is well-preserved. Friend Gu, would you like to take a look?” Lou Mantian asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
He chose a long sword. There was a hint of the sword’s intent emanating from it.
There was also a shield, two bracelets, and two strange treasures.
Jiang Hao asked about the prices.
The price wasn’t low. It almost cost a total of 120,000 spirit stones.
“Oh, I also have three packs of September Spring here. Would you like it?” Lou Mantian again.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
In the end, he spent 60,000 spirit stones on it.
He had spent a total of 180,000 spirit stones.
He didn’t plan to buy tea leaves for himself, but Hong Yuye was right there, so he had to buy some.
Now, he had ten packs of September Spring left.
It wasn’t a loss. The tea could always be sold for more.
He had so many magical items with him, but he didn’t intend to sell them yet.
He planned to activate the sword embryo with the sword intent and take the bracelets back to give to the spirit beast and Xiao Li. He decided to give the armor to Lin Zhi.
He would melt the shield to make a pickaxe.
Cheng Chou wouldn’t get anything from him this time. Helping him with cultivation was enough.
His progress couldn’t be rushed.
He needed a little guidance. Otherwise, reaching the Golden Core Realm would be difficult.
“Friend Lou, do you need pills?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I’ve already bought all I need.” Lou Mantian smiled.
Jiang Hao didn’t say much but changed the topic. “Friend Lou, regarding the information about the ancient scrolls… What have you observed?”
“Nothing.” Lou Mantian shook his head. “I heard that the water in the Sea Sky Forest is finally under control, but there are still some corpses inside. They are currently being subdued. But the cause remains unknown.”
Jiang Hao nodded. It seemed like there was really no major problem there.
The corpses were truly waking in the West.
After that, Lou Mantian got up and left.
Jiang Hao waited.
These days, the Mountain Sea Seal was concealing the surroundings, and something would happen soon.
After that, Jiang Hao drank the tea and listened to the sound of the river.
No one came to disturb him. It was quite peaceful.CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
The next day, a middle-aged man arrived at the Thousand Springs River.
“I am Zhi Qing from the Ancient River Sect,” said the middle-aged man who stood in front of Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was surprised. This person was powerful.
So, he invited him to sit.
“I’ve come to deliver some things,” Zhi Qing said as he put a box of tea leaves on the table. “These are the tea leaves from our sect. I hope you like them.” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“I heard that you killed Granny Kufa… I had a grudge with her but couldn’t kill her. It’s unexpected but nice that you managed to do that. Please accept this as a small token of appreciation,” said Zhi Qing politely.
Jiang Hao opened the pack of tea leaves and saw a unique aura on them.
There was no fragrance, but there was a type of coolness to them.
Even the circulation of spiritual energy became smoother.
The tea leaves seemed to be of good quality. It wasn’t inferior to September Spring at all.
If it was of such a good quality, the price might be higher too.
If the tea was like September Spring and could heal injuries, it would cost even more.
All the senior cultivators not only required excellent tea leaves but also a good taste.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have it.
“Senior, you are too kind,” said Jiang Hao politely. He could go without buying tea leaves for a long time.
He had gained a lot on this trip.
It was indeed useful to have strength on one’s side.
If it wasn’t enough, it would be disastrous.
Zhi Qing asked about Granny Kufa. He felt quite emotional.
The person he wanted to kill had ended up dead. It made him somewhat sentimental.
After that, he stood up, bowed to Jiang Hao, and left.
Jiang Hao stood up and bowed in return.
Once the other person left, he felt it was about time. The force condensed by the Mountain Sea Seal was almost complete.
It seemed like he could leave now. Following this path, he could reach the Mountain River Valley to check on Zhang and fulfill her request.
At the Mountain God Village, a young woman smiled. “Senior Bi Zhu, are you planning to go into the mountains?”
“Just call me Senior Sister,” said Bi Zhu, who looked as young as the Mountain Princess.
Qiao Yi stood on the side. She wasn’t surprised. It seemed like Princess Bi Zhu never grew old.
She looked the same when she was eighteen. Even after several hundred years, she remained the same.
“Then, you can call me Xiao Jie,” Chu Jie said.
“Let’s go inside,” Bi Zhu said.
The one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was more pleasant than he had expected.
Although she couldn’t feel many changes, staying by her side made her cultivation smooth.
It was no wonder Chu Jie had advanced so quickly.
It was truly unbelievable.
“Be careful. There are many wild beasts here,” said a hunter.
Chu Jie smiled in response.
Then, the group walked toward the mountain.
When they reached the mountainside, the hunters stopped. They didn’t follow inside.
This was the territory of the Mountain God. They didn’t dare continue forward.
Only the Mountain Princess could do so.
After that, Bi Zhu and the other two continued to climb up the mountain.
On the way, they saw a cave.
“This is it,” Chu Jie said.
“It gives off a very violent aura,” Qiao Yi said in concern.
If the aura went out of control, she had no way of surviving it.
“It’s alright. Let’s go in, or it’ll become even more violent,” said Chu Jie with a smile..
