Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 226 - Entering the Lawless Tower
Chapter 226: Entering the Lawless Tower
The affairs of the outer sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden were not significant.
Jiang Hao wasn’t worried about what Xia Cheng would do or say; it had no impact on him.
Moreover, from the recent situation, it was apparent that the other party was someone who cherished his life.
There was no need to take risks in dealing with him.
The reason for his difficulty with others was partly due to his personality, but more so because he had suddenly risen to a high position.
He had become the acting head of the outer sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden, and no one had a higher cultivation level than him, coupled with a group of people flattering him.
This had caused him to become somewhat arrogant.
Power can dazzle people, even the slightest bit of it.
If one cannot control it, they will be manipulated by power and do things they wouldn’t dare to think of normally.
Therefore, sufficient self-awareness and a stable temperament are especially important.
Jiang Hao faced such troubles every time he advanced in rank; the allure of power could easily lead to arrogance.
Fortunately, he had the Tianjue Gu poison, which helped him remain calm.
Since being poisoned, he had relied on the sage state induced by the poison for many matters.
But this was not a long-term solution; he needed to use the poison to thoroughly improve his temperament.
In the future, even without the poison, he wouldn’t fall into hardship.
“Now, there’s no need to frequently visit the outer sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden; Cheng Chou can stabilize it.”
“Once no one targets him, that undercover should start contacting Cheng Chou, then take the opportunity to come to Duanqing Cliff, thereby discovering the location of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and further learn that the flower is at my residence.”
“That’s when he should come looking for me.”
“It’s just uncertain whether he will choose to win me over or make a move.”
There are generally three types of people targeting the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
The first type, and the most foolish, is to directly steal the flower.
No one has done this yet; it’s unknown if the person from the Corpse God Sect will be that foolish.
The second type is like Liu Xingchen and Senior Sister Ming Yi, who try to win him over through contact.
Some do it for the flower, some to watch the drama, and of course, some to make a move on him, but essentially it’s still for the flower.
The third type is like the Xuantian Sect’s Hua Le, who observe from a distance.
This name was identified by Xuanyuan Tai initially, and so far, he had not met anyone named Hua Le.
They were very well hidden.
After some hesitation, Jiang Hao went to the Scripture Pavilion.
Because there were too many books, he approached the elder guarding the second floor and handed over a spirit stone.
“I remember you, what would you like to ask this time?” The elder discreetly pocketed the spirit stone.
“The junior would like to know which books have the most comprehensive records of the sects,” Jiang Hao politely said.
“The most comprehensive records of the sects?” The elder pondered for a moment and then said.
“Go upstairs and find a book called ‘Records of Mountains and Seas’; it probably has what you want to know. Recently, many people have been looking for books for their sect missions.”
The elder had a cheerful expression, seemingly having earned quite a bit lately.
Being familiar with this place is beneficial.
Everyone has a spirit stone to give, and the elder isn’t greedy, forming a good unspoken rule.
If someone greedy were guarding this place, it might lead to a change of personnel.
Those with some power in the Demon Sect don’t like to be exploited and always think of ways to resist.
Jiang Hao went up to the third floor and found many people reading.
According to the elder, they were all researching the origins of seeds.
After a short while.
Jiang Hao found the ‘Records of Mountains and Seas’ and briefly looked through it. It was a travelogue, so it recorded many sects.
After flipping through for a long time, he finally saw the Corpse God Sect.
“A major sect in the north, its sect techniques are strange, possessing multiple avatars.”
Reading the records, Jiang Hao’s brows slightly furrowed.
Is that all?
However, one thing surprised him: how did people in the north know that the Tianyin Sect had the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?
“Is the Corpse God Sect related to the Corpse Realm Flower?” Jiang Hao suddenly thought. freewёbnoνel.com
Assuming there’s a connection, why would people from the Corpse God Sect and the Corpse Realm Flower appear in the Tianyin Sect?
The only thing Jiang Hao could think of was the previous attack by a powerful being.
“Now I can’t ask the people in the Secret Whisper Slate.”
He had planned to ask Fairy Gui and others how to make the spiritual field fertile or to inquire about the Corpse God Sect’s intelligence.
But now it wasn’t good to ask openly; there was a chance that Dan Yuan would notice.
If Dan Yuan was closely connected with the Corpse God Sect, he could learn about the general situation of the Tianyin Sect.
Of course, merely asking about fertile land wasn’t risky; the main danger lay in using the information obtained.
“It seems the Corpse God Sect is not small, and their techniques also need to be watched.”
Techniques involving avatars are always troublesome, like the Great Thousand Spirit Avatar.
The main body is hard to catch, and killing avatars doesn’t mean much.
Afterward, Jiang Hao looked up the Red Feather Divine Pill, which was only mentioned occasionally in one book, with no details on its effects.
So he gave another spirit stone to the elder.
But it was refused.
“Cough cough.” The elder coughed dryly, glanced at Jiang Hao with a smile, and said.
“I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s good for me. If you have any questions today, feel free to ask.”
Huh? Jiang Hao was somewhat shocked.
There was a reason why this person had been able to work here for so long and why many people were willing to give spirit stones.
“The junior saw a pill called the Red Feather Divine Pill in the books, may I ask what kind of pill this is?” Jiang Hao inquired.
“Red Feather Divine Pill?” The elder pondered with lowered brows for a long time before saying.
“It should be a kind of healing pill, rumored to be made from a divine bird as the main ingredient. None of the surrounding factions have this kind of divine bird, not to mention our sect, even the entire southern region might not have this elixir. Therefore, there’s even less information about it.”
“I see.” Jiang Hao nodded in thanks.
Then he turned and left.
He had wanted to ask about the price, but since it wasn’t available in the southern region, he didn’t dare to inquire further.
However, considering the profound foundations of various sects, perhaps they might have it.
Just after leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Jiang Hao saw a communication talisman flying towards him.
After catching it, he heard Elder Bai Zhi’s voice:
“Go to Lawless Tower, someone wants to see you.”
Lawless Tower?
Jiang Hao thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out who would want to see him, especially since it was an order personally issued by Elder Bai Zhi.
......
After a short while, he arrived near the Lawless Tower again.
This time, he didn’t go to the prison but to the front of the tower.
The towering structure stood at the mountain’s peak, with thirteen levels, majestic and spectacular, exuding a mysterious power.
This was the Lawless Tower.
It was hard to imagine that not only did this tower lack opportunities, but it could also strip away everything from a person.
At the front of the tower, Jiang Hao saw the familiar figure of Senior Sister Zhou Chan.
“Junior Brother arrived quickly.”
Zhou Chan, dressed in white with a simple hair bun, walked over.
“Senior Sister was waiting for me?” Jiang Hao asked.
“This is something Master asked me to give to you; it’s for your mission this time,” Zhou Chan said as she handed over an envelope.
After examining it for a moment, Jiang Hao noticed a faint power on the envelope, meant to prevent others from opening it.
“Junior Brother can use your identity token to open it,” Zhou Chan reminded him before saying goodbye and leaving, seemingly busy with other matters.
After saying farewell to Senior Sister Zhou, Jiang Hao finally opened the envelope.
“Go to the fifth floor of Lawless Tower, enter special prison cell number one, and meet someone who wants the flower from your courtyard. Without revealing too much information, find out their origin, purpose, and source of information.”
Jiang Hao continued reading and found the name of the flower from his courtyard, along with basic information about the imprisoned person.
Corpse God Sect.
Seeing these three words, Jiang Hao sighed.
“Indeed, the recent undercover and seed missions all originated from the Corpse God Sect.”
