Primordial Spirit Realm…

Once, Jiang Hao had looked forward to reaching that realm.

He was looking forward to advancing further. He was also a candidate for the seat of the top disciple.

Unfortunately, he could not display his cultivation at the Primordial Spirit Realm in such a short period. That would be suspicious.

Han Ming still needed two more years to advance.

Therefore, with only about thirty days left, he had no chance at all.

Even if he advanced, he would not be a match for the others.

After all, he could not even make it up the stairs to his own house, let alone a competition.

Hong Yuye had said his cultivation realm had increased. It might be because he was not sent flying like the first time she used her power.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly as he recalled crashing into the wall.

The pain had been excruciating because he was already injured so badly.

He felt as if his internal organs were ripping out of his body.

Hong Yuye had looked at Jiang Hao and chuckled.

Then, she disappeared.

He felt some changes in his body, so he appraised himself.

[Status: The Heaven Extinction Gu Poison and Hong Yuye’s One Heart Palm are simultaneously involved in the karma vortex of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, and the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl. If you don’t do anything, your body won’t be able to endure it after 24 days. By circulating the primordial purple energy and using a divine item, you could make it to 49 days.]

“Forty-nine days?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

It should have been thirty-two days by his estimate.

He had gotten an extra seventeen days!

Jiang Hao thought about it. Perhaps this was because of Hong Yuye’s power.

With less bad luck on his body, he could live a little longer.

Without thinking much about it, Jiang Hao looked at the table and saw a pot of tea.

He took a sip. It was just ordinary tea leaves.

He suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of good tea.

However, he did not use it right away.

He was a little reluctant to waste it.

After drinking his tea, Jiang Hao sat back down in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

He looked outside his courtyard gate. He suddenly felt like visiting the Lawless Tower.

Perhaps he could find a way to buy himself some time there.

Jiang Hao smiled bitterly. It was too far away.

It took him enormous effort just to walk a short distance, let alone fly to the Lawless Tower.

He shook his head and did not think too much about it.

It might also trigger the Lawless Tower in a bad way.

He felt better, so Jiang Hao decided to walk out of the courtyard.

He sat by the river and looked at the water in a daze.

Back then, he had chosen this place because of the river. He had built a wooden house for himself and settled down.

On the day he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had obtained some divine abilities.

The first thing he had appraised with his newly obtained Daily Appraisal ability had been the wooden house.

Jiang Hao suddenly felt nostalgic.

“Junior Brother Jiang?” said a voice from behind.

He turned around and saw Senior Sister Leng Tian. She had a scar on her face.

“It’s been too long, Senior Sister,” said Jiang Hao with a smile.

When he made talismans, he could always count on her to buy them.

He had not seen her in a long time.

It was not only because he did not go to the market, but also because she rarely bought talismans these days.

“Why do you look so pale?” she asked.

Jiang Hao had taken a look at it in the water, but his face was not as pale as it was before.

Anyone could tell that he did not have long to live.

“It’s just some small illness,” said Jiang Hao. “Congratulations on reaching the Golden Core Realm, Senior Sister.”

Senior Sister Leng Tian was already in the early Golden Core Realm. She was also a pill refiner and an alchemist.

“Compared to you, I pale in comparison,” said Leng Tian. “You are currently a candidate for the seat of the top disciple. I really didn’t expect my junior who used to sell talismans from a stall in the market would go so far!”

Leng Tian sighed.

Jiang Hao chuckled. “I was just lucky.”

This time, he had run out of luck.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you are really humble.” Leng Tian looked at Jiang Hao. “Have you made any talismans lately?”

Jiang Hao nodded. “Only a few.”

He was very curious if Senior Sister Leng Tian still had the talisman inheritance that she had narrowly escaped death to obtain.

“I want to buy some talismans from you,” Leng Tian said.

Jiang Hao nodded and gave her some talismans needed for the Golden Core Realm.

Leng Tian took out a box. It was indeed an inheritance talisman.

“Junior Brother, are you interested in this?” Leng Tian asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded as he took it. “I do.”

“The price will be about the same as before. Three thousand will do,” Leng Tian said.

Jiang Hao handed her ten thousand spirit stones.

Leng Tian was surprised.

“I can resell it,” Jiang Hao said.

Leng Tian understood.

Jiang Hao was no longer the same as before, and he could sell it for a better price. He gave her a little more because he would be able to earn that much from the talisman in the future.

There was another reason. Leng Tian was already at the Golden Core Realm. It was important to choose one’s allies carefully.

“When you become a top disciple, can I still count on you if I want to buy talismans?” asked Leng Tian teasingly.

“Of course,” Jiang Hao said.

If he was still alive then, he would obviously make talismans to sell them.

He did not say that out loud.

After Senior Sister Leng Tian left, Jiang Hao lowered his head to look at the inheritance talisman. This talisman was slightly different from the previous ones.

This wasn’t an inheritance talisman at all. It was likely an inheritance that had been long abandoned.
