Chapter 1081 Making Use Of Hai Luo’s Master
Zhuang Yuzhen leaned against the cell and noticed it too.
He had been in the same situation. He remembered it like it was yesterday.
In the beginning, he had been arrogant like King Hai Luo. After Jiang Hao had beckoned to him and uttered some words, he had gotten helplessly angry.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
The captive in cell five was probably just beginning to feel like that.
“Give it two or three more days,” said Zhuang Yuzhen.
“Two or three days?” Mi Lingyue said. “So, there is a hierarchy to this thing. First, a simple warning. Then, the gradual and imminent breakdown… After Jiang Hao visits two times, the person just breaks.”
“Yeah. I’ll look forward to that.” Yan Shang laughed.
She did not seem to be scared of anything.
Old Man Corpse Sea was curious. “The ‘Master’ you talk about… is that the Golden Core Realm cultivator?”
“Yes. King Hai Luo’s master. The ruler of the fifth floor,” said Mi Lingyue with a smile.
“The people of the tower seem to listen to him. Even if someone claims not to have a weakness on the fifth floor, they eventually end up surrendering to him because he somehow finds out their secret.”
“Is that so? Does he have a lot of information on everyone here?” Old Man Corpse Sea laughed. “Maybe if I play my cards right, I can make use of him.”
Mi Lingyue was surprised.
This old man wanted to make use of Hai Luo’s master!
That was strange, but she did not dare say anything.
As far as she knew, there must be someone powerful backing Jiang Hao. It might not just be the sect.
No one ever dared to use Jiang Hao, but this old man seemed different.
She felt that he would not succeed in doing so.
…
Around mid-October, Jiang Hao headed to the mine.
He had not much going on these days. He spent most of his time reapplying the Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.
He had also been trying to sell the expensive tea leaves that he had.
He sold all the high-quality tea leaves and earned an extra 230,000 spirit stones.
The Azure Red tea had fetched him 30,000 spirit stones.
He was still short of 80,000 spirit stones.
Even if he sold some things he had, he could get around 40,000, which was barely enough.
He did not have enough time to earn more spirit stones.
He had to think of another way.
He still needed 760,000 spirit stones.
When the time came, he would look for Senior Sister Ming Yi for the divine soul.
He wanted to see if he could lure the Holy Master in.
If he could digest another divine soul, it would make him stronger.
It would not be difficult for him to recover his immortal cultivation in the next two years.
If he could find more divine souls, it would be even better.
Death still lingered around him, but he had some time.
A day that passed meant a day less for his survival. It was not an easy task.
Fortunately, the Bright Moon Sect had found the Fallen Immortal Clan, so he had one less thing to worry about.
He had bought enough time.
Feng Hua still posed a danger to him, but other things were not so important.
This time, he went to the mines to see Lin Zhi.
Jiang Hao had to think about increasing his cultivation and finding a way to become an immortal.
He had already returned the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl to Xiao Li, and he had also added some power to it.
Little Wang had been warned too.
He told it to keep an eye on the dangers around Xiao Li.
He assumed it understood the severity of the situation.
Jiang Hao arrived at the mining site.
As soon as he arrived, a bald middle-aged man walked over to him.
He was in the middle of the Golden Core Realm.
“Senior Brother Wei, it’s been so long!” said Jiang Hao.
Wei Lie could sense that Jiang Hao was different from before. He looked and acted like an expert already.
The potential of such a person was limitless.
“Junior Brother Jiang, you’re looking well,” said Wei Lie respectfully.
Every time he saw Jiang Hao, he would be involved in something big. This time, he was a candidate for the seat of the top disciple. Maybe, he could become a top disciple in the future.
“Is Lin Zhi alright?” Jiang Hao asked.
Wei Lie did not know how to answer.
“It’s fine. Just tell me honestly,” said Jiang Hao.
“He’s not doing too good.” Wei Lie sighed. “He is always at odds with the others. He often gets bullied by his peers. He isn’t in any imminent danger, but…”
“He doesn’t get along with people?” Jiang Hao was curious.
“Yes. He does his own thing, but sometimes, he provokes others over nothing. Seeing as he is still at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, others don’t let it slide. We can’t keep an eye on it the whole day, so we really can’t help in any way,” said Wei Lie.
He had made his stance clear. He was not willing to let anything happen, but he could not keep an eye on him every day.
Jiang Hao smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Let him be. If things get out of hand, you can give him some pointers, Senior.”
Jiang Hao understood that Lin Zhi sometimes provoked others so that he could improve himself. But he was worried that he might not know when to stop. It was important for someone to put a stop to it if it came to that.
Wei Lie nodded.
“Can I see him?” Jiang Hao asked.
Wei Lie led the way.
On the way, they heard the sound of fighting.
“You have a death wish! I won’t let you insult my friend like that!” said someone angrily.
Jiang Hao turned around and saw a white-haired woman pressing down on a burly man.
The person who was beaten up wailed and begged for mercy.
Wei Lie wanted to stop them.
“Let me do it, Senior Brother.” Jiang Hao stopped him.
Wei Lie nodded.
Jiang Hao slowly walked over to them.
“Senior, please calm down,” he said respectfully.
‘Senior?’ Wei Lie was puzzled.
The white-haired woman raised her head.
The moment she saw Jiang Hao, she became excited.
“Are you here to take me to see my friend?”
“Why are you here, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked instead.
He could sense that she was at the Golden Core Realm, but her cultivation was sealed. For all intents and purposes, she would only have the strength of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm.
However, it was not difficult for her to beat up others in the same realm.
“I want to see my friend. They said that they would take me to see them after I finished mining for ores! Am I going to see my friend soon?” Bing Qing asked.
Jiang Hao looked at her and sighed.
Then, he appraised her.
[Bing Qing: A member of the Ice Spirit Clan. Her cultivation realm has been disintegrated and absorbed by the Lawless Tower. She is only at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. She has been lonely since she was young. After she became friends with the spirit beast, she was happy. She finally feels that there is hope in this world and wants to help her friend, even at the cost of death. She was tricked by the Lawless Tower to dig for ores in the mines. She wants to go back to her cell so she can meet her friend. She feels that if she doesn’t get to go to her cell, her friend might not find her and would no longer want to be friends with her.]
Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him. So, she had befriended the spirit beast.
He had seen her a few times on the fifth floor. He had not expected to find her here.
“Follow me,” Jiang Hao said slowly.
