Jiang Zuo had made up his mind. He would find that Saintess and, for starters, try to kill her.
She hadn’t achieved enlightennt yet, so it should be possible to kill her. This was his dying wish from his previous life—his one and only, most fervent desire.
Suddenly, Jiang Zuo asked out of curiosity, "Logically speaking, with their martial uncle and senior sister away, their combat strength should have dropped a tier. And more than one Blood Demon showed up this ti, yet they managed to hold out?
That can only an these Blood Demons are total scrubs. So, why can’t you sense them? If you can’t even manage that, what’s the point of your Perception Departnt?"
Chen Yi gave an awkward laugh. "Uh, the equipnt isn’t fixed yet."
Jiang Zuo: "..."
’These people are unbelievably careless.’
"I have another question,"
Jiang Zuo looked at them and said, "Since your equipnt is broken, why didn’t you just go next door and borrow one? Even if you didn’t borrow, wouldn’t the tech departnt have a spare?"
What does it an to be jolted from a dream by a single phrase?
What does it an to get a sharp rap on the head?
This was it.
Xiao Xiaomo and the others felt as if they’d been suddenly enlightened. The feeling was like a bolt from the blue—it turned out the solution to their equipnt problem was so incredibly simple.
Then, they sheepishly went next door to borrow one.
Afterward, the three of them gathered together and began to sense the Blood Demons’ whereabouts.
They quickly sensed three Blood Demons and reported their coordinates. Thanks to the joint effort, the three pathetic Blood Demons were swiftly dealt with.
The team on the other end thanked them profusely again, but the three of them were indescribably embarrassed. Especially with Jiang Zuo still present, they felt as if they had suddenly beco complete morons.
’If the equipnt is broken, do you have to repair it?’
’Don’t you know you can just replace it?’
Jiang Zuo wasn’t actually dwelling on the matter. He was more concerned about Jiu Xi. He needed to get close to her and then kill her without a soul knowing.
But if he didn’t reveal himself to let Jiu Xi see him, if he didn’t let out a few domineering laughs, he felt the kill wouldn’t be perfect.
There would be no way to vent his pent-up frustration.
Jiang Zuo rembered practicing that laugh several tis. Of course, he’d had the chance to use it several tis too, but unfortunately, he never got the last laugh.
He just ended up feeling like an idiot instead.
That was why Jiang Zuo despised Jiu Xi.
So much so that he wouldn’t be satisfied until she was dead.
Just then, Xiao Xiaomo said, "Brother Zuo, how much money do you want? Na your price. Just... don’t tell anyone about what happened today."
Xiao Xiaomo was referring to their lack of intelligence, which Jiang Zuo didn’t quite grasp. But he had no intention of telling anyone anyway.
"I don’t need money, but I have a question. When you buy Spirit dicine, do you go to public shops or buy it through soone?"
This was very important. He needed high-quality dicine. The faster he reached Tier Two, the easier it would be to kill Jiu Xi.
Xiao Xiaomo imdiately replied, "Of course we buy from our own people. What kind of good dicine can you find in outside shops? They can’t even identify all the types of Spirit dicine. Besides, buying out there is expensive; it’s just not worth it."
’So there really is a special channel,’ Jiang Zuo thought. He then asked, "I’d like to buy so dicine. Who do I need to talk to? And what’s the currency?"
"If you want to buy dicine, you can just look for Liuyue Xue," Xiao Xiaomo explained. "As for paynt, regular money is fine for most common Spirit dicines."
Jiang Zuo nodded. ’So regular money isn’t the only currency. You can’t buy truly high-grade Spirit dicine with it.’
’It must be Spirit Stones, then—the universal currency across all Cultivation realms.’
’But getting Spirit Stones won’t be easy for right now. I’ll have to worry about that later.’
After that, Jiang Zuo left. It was getting late. By the ti he got ho, he’d be there just in ti to welco Su Qi.
’Looks like we still have to get a divorce, but for so reason, I don’t feel good about it,’ Jiang Zuo thought, shaking his head with a self-deprecating smile.
Su Qi wasn’t back when Jiang Zuo got ho, but he frowned as he looked at the living room table.
’If I rember correctly, the divorce papers were closer to the edge. Why are they in the middle now?’
’The window is closed. Soone must have moved them.’
Jiang Zuo imdiately ran to the bedroom, slightly worried he might find Su Qi inside.
Fortunately, Su Qi wasn’t there.
Just then, Jiang Zuo’s phone chid. It was a text ssage.
Su Qi: My sister suddenly showed up. She wants to stay with her for a few days. I’ll be back in a little while.
Jiang Zuo frowned. He walked into the living room and picked up the divorce papers. ’Looks like she ca ho early, saw these by chance, and then ran off.’
Jiang Zuo just couldn’t understand why Su Qi would run away from this. She had clearly agreed to it before.
He felt a bit helpless, yet a part of him was inexplicably relieved. He could sense his own conflicting emotions.
This feeling of conflict over the divorce was just as strong as any he’d felt in his past life.
’Whatever. No need to get hung up on such a trivial matter.’ With a casual toss, Jiang Zuo threw the divorce papers into the trash.
Putting the divorce aside, Jiang Zuo began to plant his Profound Iron Wood. He had bought a pot and now planted the Profound Iron Wood and the Fire Spirit Grass in it together.
After a mont’s thought, Jiang Zuo also placed the egg next to the Fire Spirit Grass. This would help speed up its hatching.
He then carved an Imprisonnt Array near the egg. ’It’s a Holy Beast Descendant. No matter how mixed its bloodline is, it’s still extraordinary. A Vermilion Bird, at that. Who knows if it might just fly off.’
After that, Jiang Zuo went to the bedroom again. He glanced at the Array and the dicinal liquid that had been absorbed into it, then shook his head and left.
If he had absorbed all of that, he would have likely reached level 1.2. Now, he had to wait two days.
In two days, the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion would open. Although he didn’t plan on going in himself, he had to stop others from doing so.
If soone else started down his path, it would an creating a powerful rival for himself in the future.
That had to be prevented at all costs.
"Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, are you free? Want to co join the fun?" Just as he pulled out his phone, Jiang Zuo saw a ssage where Chi Xue Child had tagged him.
Jiang Zuo typed a reply on his phone: "What fun?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "It’s a treasure appraisal event. To put it bluntly, we’re going treasure hunting. I heard there will be a lot of Spirit dicines and other treasures. It all cos down to whether you have a sharp eye or not."
Liuyue Xue posted an angry emoji: "Why is this Demon Cultivator everywhere these days? Don’t you know how to go back to your Demon Sect?"
Liu Yiyi posted a ’waving a big knife’ emoji: "This Demon Cultivator is a real piece of work. I had a nightmare about them last night."
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan posted an exasperated emoji: "I haven’t even done anything. You’re all so hostile. You must just be jealous that I’m prettier than you."
Chi Xue Child imdiately chid in: "I have to disagree with that. Fairy Liuyue Xue is the flower of our group. She’s exceptionally beautiful."
Liu Yiyi posted a nodding emoji: "I definitely agree with that."
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "For real? Is it that much of an exaggeration? Has she cultivated so kind of Charm Art?"
Chen Yi: "Quite the opposite. Fairy Liuyue Xue is a classic ice beauty. Don’t be fooled by how active she is in the group. If you t her in person, you’d find it’s incredibly difficult to get her to say a word."
Po Xiao: "Is she mute or sothing?"
For a mont, the group chat fell silent.
Finally, Liuyue Xue replied: "I’m not."
Chi Xue Child: "Haha! Fellow Daoist, are you free? Want to go together? I’m sure that with your experience, no treasure could possibly escape your keen eye.
Fairy Liuyue Xue is going too. You’ll get a chance to behold her beauty."
Of course Jiang Zuo would go to sothing like this. It would be foolish to pass up a chance to get good things.
