Jiang Hao was a little dazed when he saw his age.
He still remembered that summer when he was nineteen like it was yesterday.
That had been the turning point in his life.
Thirty years had passed since then.
Even though he had accumulated enough cultivation and lifeblood, Jiang Hao was not in a hurry to advance.
He still needed a month or two to comprehend the array formation.
He also had to meet Li Qi.
At Azure Mountain, Li Qi was teaching the new disciples. He was in a good mood, but his face darkened when he saw Jiang Hao among his disciples.
‘Here he comes again… Persistent pest!’ He thought.
How many times more?
“How about this? You can be the elder brother from now on, and I can be the younger brother. That way, you have to grant my request whenever I ask. If you refuse, I’ll self-combust just to liven things up for you,” Li Qi said dejectedly.
Smiling San Sheng looked surprised.
“Brother Li, you must be joking. An elder brother is like a father for a lifetime. It’s against all ethics to reverse the hierarchy in such a way,” said Jiang Hao righteously.
“Against all ethics? You’re talking about ethics?” Li Qi sneered. “You’re so shameless!”
In the era when the Holy Master existed, Smiling San Sheng’s ancestors might not even have been born yet.
How dare such a person humiliate him like this?
Smiling San Sheng used him whenever he pleased.
Back then, even the Heavenly Spirit Tribe did not dare to humiliate him like this.
Even the Human Emperor would not have dared to call him a brother and use him this way.
This person was so shameless and arrogant.
It was humiliating.
Why was no one able to teach this person a lesson?
If there was someone who could do that, he would accept them as his closest friend.
“I came here for four main requests,” Jiang Hao said slowly.
Li Qi was speechless.
In the past, there was usually just one request for his visit. This time, there were four!
“You really think very highly of me,” Li Qi said sarcastically.
He had already decided that if this person forced him into a corner, he would self-destruct on the spot.
He would curse this person to hell.
Whenever he encountered him, he would erupt. It did not matter if no divine souls were left anymore.
It was better not to return than to suffer such humiliation.
Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed.
“Brother Li, you’re no ordinary person. Throughout history, there have only been a handful who can compare to you. How many of these people possess divine abilities as vast as yours? Who else has endless power and is the master of mountains and seas like yourself?”
“Since you think I’m so amazing, why don’t you show me some mercy and reduce the requests to two?” Li Qi asked.
“Let me tell you the first request I have.” Jiang Hao smiled. “Firstly, if the Black Dragon is no longer an immortal, please reclaim him.”
Li Qi tossed the Black Dragon’s head to Jiang Hao. He had reclaimed it from the Lawless Tower long ago.
After all, a day inside the tower was worth a lot of spirit stones.
He had been counting down the days.
“Brother Li, you’re really amazing!” Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh as he took the Black Dragon’s head.
“Your words are very pleasant to hear. I like it. You’re more shameless than the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and the Human Emperor. But you use better words than them. I’ll grant you that,” said Li Qi.
“Then, I’ll get right to the second request. I hope you can help me send something to the ninth floor of the Jade Cloud Pavilion. Please leave it under the words I left behind. I’ll send it to Silent Island in a few days,” said Jiang Hao.
“What else?” Li Qi asked.
The second request was easy enough.
“I need a divine soul and a million spirit stones,” Jiang Hao said.
Li Qi stared at the person in front of him and felt angry.
It was fine if he needed another divine soul, but why was he asking him for spirit stones after everything he had done for him?
‘Can’t you earn spirit stones yourself?’ He thought. ‘How long are you going to rob people in broad daylight?’
This method of earning spirit stones was not feasible in the long term.
“You don’t understand business at all,” Li Qi said.
“You don’t understand, Brother Li,” said Jiang Hao. “I’m—”
“Dying… I know,” said Li Qi.
He was wondering when this person would drop dead and leave him alone.
It had been so long since the last visit, how was he still alive?
Li Qi gritted his teeth and tossed a divine soul and a million spirit stones to Jiang Hao. “What’s the fourth request?”
“There’s none.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
“None at all?” Li Qi was surprised.
“Are you surprised, Brother Li? Do you feel like you won a little after all? I do treat you better as a brother, don’t I?” Jiang Hao asked as he gently closed his folding fan.
Li Qi was speechless. ‘Thank you so much.’ He thought mockingly but did not say it aloud.
After making sure that everything was done, Jiang Hao disappeared from the spot.
The Holy Master frowned.
He felt the surroundings ease a little. It was always like that.
Whenever this young man appeared, he felt as though some unknown power surrounded him, and he could not escape.
He could not figure out how the person did it, and how he managed to disappear from the spot.
“What treasure does he have? Whatever it might be, it was not an ordinary treasure, just like his thick skin and hardheaded nature.”
…
In the North, Jing Dajiang frowned. “This area isn’t good.”
The courtyard ahead was located on the edge of the street and was surrounded by green trees. Walking among them felt like being in the mountains. A small bridge spanned a pond, where the clear water rippled, and birds chirped.
The small building in the courtyard was quaint with exquisite furnishings. There was a strong spiritual aura pervading the area.
“What’s wrong with this courtyard?” Lan Qian asked curiously.
“The spiritual energy is too dense here. There’s something wrong with it. Let’s continue looking elsewhere,” Jing Dajiang said seriously.
“Senior, we’ve been looking for more than a year. Why don’t we take this one?” Bi Zhu asked.
These three seniors had dragged her from one place to another to look for a suitable area.
They were far away from the Heavenly Tower.
But there was no choice.
These Golden Core Realm cultivators were terrifyingly powerful.
“We have a higher cultivation realm than you. We won’t lie to you,” the bearded old man said seriously.
“Of course.” Bi Zhu smiled and nodded.
She felt as powerless as she had felt in the West.
The other regions were good, but they were not as good as her hometown in the South.
“However, this house needs some kindness from you.” Jing Dajiang looked at Bi Zhu.
Qiao Yi and Lan Qian were both puzzled.
Bi Zhu smiled awkwardly and threw two spirit stones into the courtyard.
Both of them came with terrifying curses.
“The little girl is really kind-hearted.” The bearded old man sighed emotionally.
Jing Dajiang also nodded. “Even kinder than before.”
Bi Zhu was speechless.
“Let’s go to the next place,” the beardless old man said.
After they left, the courtyard was filled with miserable cries of pain.
Finally, everything vanished into thin air.
The departing Bi Zhu felt that her luck might have improved a little.
But she did not want this. If this continued, she would be in big trouble.
She was afraid of good luck.
She could not bear it anymore.
She happened to glance at Lan Qian.
‘I’m sorry for troubling you, Senior Sister. I can’t do without you in the North.’ She thought.
