Chapter 1192: She Can Be Your Fourth Mistress (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The more merit he had left, the more beneficial it would be for him.

But how could he buy more time? Should he continue to look for the divine souls of the Holy Master?

It was not impossible, but there was a limit to the number of divine souls he could absorb.

In the end, it was uncertain whether it could be replenished.

But there was no other way.

He could only try to think of another way in these ten years.

He took out an array formation and activated his divine power, Clear and Pure Heart.

He still had to learn them.

He could not waste any time feeling dispirited.

He had to think of a way later.

He would spend a few years studying formations and still try doing other things.

The more he understood and the deeper his knowledge became, the more helpful it would be for him to become an immortal.

“If it wasn’t for the pearls, perhaps it would have been very easy for me to become an immortal.”

He had always thought he could discreetly become an immortal without anyone knowing about it.

But it seemed it would stir up a storm.

In the past, he could ascend as quickly as possible, but now, even if he went overseas, he could likely have the opportunity to ascend in a few months.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He had to wait. The more powerful the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron was, the better it would be for his advancement.

He put down the book and took out the fruit Lin Zhi gave him.

The mark on it reacted.

It would not be long before the people who had their eyes on Lin Zhi arrived.

He still had to meet them.

Dealing with these people had caused so much trouble.

After they went their own way, he hoped they would not return for at least a few hundred years.

Chu Chuan had already set an example.

…

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, Hong Yuye stood in the pavilion and looked into the distance.

A gentle breeze tousled her hair as she approached the lake.

There were many fish swimming here.

As a bait fell into the water, they eagerly opened their mouths.

Hong Yuye only watched and did not do anything else.

A moment later, a white figure entered the Hundred Flowers Lake.

“Greetings, Sect Master.” Baizhi bowed respectfully.

“Where is it?” Hong Yuye went straight to the point.

Baizhi did not dare to hesitate and took out a box. “I was afraid the aura inside would spread, so I didn’t dare to open and inspect it.”

She had not checked it yet, so she was not sure if it was authentic.

However, she felt amazed when she tried to sense what was inside.

She had never seen anything like it before.

Hong Yuye did not say anything and just took the box.

She slowly opened it.

An aqua-blue pearl lay there quietly.

Baizhi saw it, but she did not feel so good about it.

Although the pearl did not look ordinary, it was far from being something divine.

Hong Yuye reached out and picked up the pearl.

She sized it up carefully. “Baizhi, do you think this is real or fake?”

“I don’t know…” Baizhi broke out in a cold sweat.

Hong Yuye only looked at the pearl.

“How is the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?” she asked after a while.

“It’s good. Although there have been people targeting that place lately, we took care of it. Nothing unexpected has happened. Moreover, its aura is very likely to become denser. It might have grown,” Baizhi said immediately.

Hong Yuye smiled and wrapped the pearl with her power.

Then, a transparent box appeared. There was a pearl wrapped in seawater inside.

“As a reward for the effort.”

The pearl landed in front of Baizhi.

She was at a loss.

Was the Sect master handing this divine item over to Jiang Hao?

Why would she do that?

Was it for Jiang Hao or the person behind him?

Thinking back to what happened at the Human Emperor’s Palace, she felt that it was most likely for the person behind Jiang Hao.

Was this a sign of cooperation with the other party?

Or was it something else?

Perhaps the person behind Jiang Hao was too powerful and had some value.

Did the Sect master want to keep the person behind Jiang Hao on her good side too?

It was very likely.

After receiving the items, she asked, “Sect Master, what kind of rewards should the others receive?”

“That’s up to you,” Hong Yuye said.

Baizhi complied.

She could open a thirteenth branch. That showed the extent of reward the person who had brought the pearl deserved.

As for the box, Baizhi hesitated. Before, she always waited a few days before delivering the reward to Jiang Hao.

But since it could involve the person behind him this time, she could not delay.

When she returned to the White Moon Lake, she called for Zhou Chan immediately.

…

At dawn, Jiang Hao saw the spirit beast sleeping on the peach tree as soon as he woke up.

It seemed to be enjoying itself in the sun.

At that moment, it sniffed the air, as if it had caught Jiang Hao’s scent, and immediately opened its eyes.

“Master, it’s been a long time since you tied me up. When will we do it again?” asked the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

There was no need to tie it up at the moment.

“Master, please just do it once.” The spirit beast landed on the ground and begged.

“Make your friends in the underworld do it,” said Jiang Hao calmly.

“Then… When will the Master find a Mistress? Let the Mistress do it.”

When Jiang Hao walked out, the spirit beast hurriedly followed him.

Jiang Hao did not respond.

He walked along the riverbank.

Although he had little time left, he did not think too much about it.

He had already thought about what he needed to do.

Along the way, the spirit beast kept persuading him to find a mistress.

It said that if it found her, she would help him with chores.

Soon, Jiang Hao could then have a little master that it could introduce to its friends in the underworld.

The spirit beast urged that finding a partner would be of great benefit to him.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao saw Senior Sister Zhou Chan as soon as he arrived.

Zhao Qingxue was beside her.

She was probably here to show Zhao Qingxue how the sect handled matters.

“Junior Brother Jiang.” Zhou Chan greeted him with a smile.

“Senior Sister Zhou.” Jiang Hao bowed.

“Junior Brother, you’re too polite. I heard that you’re already at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and you’re also still a candidate,” said Zhou Chan. “I couldn’t even fight for the seat in the Golden Core Realm category.”

Senior Sister Zhou Chan was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Logically, it was possible for her to fight for it.

She had already risen to power and would be at the peak of the Golden Core Realm soon.

Her strength was almost comparable to Han Ming’s.

Even if she advanced to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, she would still have the chance to fight for the candidacy.

It was very likely that she did not fight for it at all.

“Senior Sister Zhou, you must be joking. I know your aspirations lie elsewhere,” said Jiang Hao politely.

“My Junior Sister wants to ask how Junior Brother Lin Zhi is doing.” Zhou Chan pointed at Zhao Qingxue behind her.

“Senior Brother Jiang,” Zhao Qingxue said in greeting.

“Junior Brother Lin Zhi came back early. He’s safe and sound.” Jiang Hao nodded in response.

“It’s good that he’s fine.” Senior Sister Zhou Chan smiled and took out some items. “This is for Junior Brother Lin Zhi.”

There were spirit stones, pills, and some talismans.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

However, he still accepted them.

Zhou Chan hurriedly said, “I’m giving these myself. Junior Brother Jiang, don’t think too much about it. It’s not for Junior Brother Lin to avoid suspicion. Mainly, Junior Sister Zhao feels guilty and feels like it’s her fault. Junior Brother Lin seemed to have warned them when they saw the forest, but the others still entered it. He warned them twice, but Junior Sister felt like they should at least give it a try. That was why they got in trouble. If not for their luck, they might not have been able to come back alive.”

Jiang Hao nodded. Actually, he had not thought too much about it.

He knew what kind of person Senior Sister Zhou Chan was.

“Senior Sister Zhou, is there something else that is bothering you?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes.” Zhou Chan smiled. “I’m here to deliver something to you.”

“Junior Brother Jiang, I think you understand more about this than me,” she said and handed him a box.

Jiang Hao did understand.

Elder Baizhi had sent this box.

It should be one of the items from the set of the Nine Heavens Battle Armor.

He took the box and thanked her.

It was another treasure.

After that, Zhou Chan left, and Jiang Hao watched them leave.

“Master, what do you think of her? I think she’s not bad. She has known you for a long time and talks to you nicely. But her cultivation realm is low. Maybe she can be your fourth mistress,” said the spirit beast.

‘Fourth mistress?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

“If she wasn’t familiar with you, she could only be your twelfth mistress,” said the spirit beast shamelessly.

Jiang Hao almost laughed.

The spirit beast was really something else.

Ignoring it, Jiang Hao opened the box to see what it was this time.

He saw a small pearl inside.

When he saw it, he felt the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron tremble between his brows as if he had received a blessing.
