Chapter 387: Shocked

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao was surprised. It seemed that Xuanyuan Tai wasn’t alone, after all.

...

Unfortunately, he couldn’t use the Daily Appraisal. He wanted to save it to appraise Xuanyuan Tao’s ancient flower seeds later.

Since they had reached this stage, the next step should come easier.

Once everything was settled, it would be time for him to bring out the seeds. The important thing to verify was the seeds. Only by doing so could they proceed further with this unlikely transaction.

If he couldn’t plant them, he wouldn’t bother with them any longer. He would just retreat.

As for language learning, he could only consider other options if that happened.

Otherwise, he might become entangled in various other issues.

“Senior Brother Bei, who is this?” the young girl asked in confusion.

“This is Senior Brother Jiang Hao,” said Xuanyuan Tai. “He is an inner sect disciple.

Xuanyuan Tai turned to Jiang Hao. “This is Junior Sister Fang Xue.”

Jiang Hao greeted her politely.

Xuanyuan Tai got straight to the point. “Actually, Senior Brother Jiang has recently developed an interest in other languages and characters. Since you are very proficient in that, I brought him here for some guidance.”

Fang Xue frowned. “I’m sorry. I can’t help you,” she said. “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I have been too caught up in my own matters lately. I don’t think I can spare the time.”

“What’s been keeping you so busy, Junior Sister Fang?” Jiang Hao asked.

Now was the time to cooperate. After all, it seemed he had come for the secrets in the “Notes of the Mountains and Seas.”

“Yes, tell us. Senior Brother Jiang is an inner sect disciple. Maybe he can help,”

Xuanyuan Tai said.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xue whispered, “Please follow me.”

In the backyard, there was a spirit field filled with spirit herbs. They were the ordinary kind of herbs that helped with concentration. They didn’t look very valuable.

However, among these spirit herbs, there was a small area enclosed by stones.

In the center of this area lay a small golden stone.

‘Is that a seed?’

Jiang Hao was surprised.

“This…” Fang Xue looked at the golden seed. “I’ve been trying to figure out how to grow it, but I’ve failed repeatedly. Senior Brother Jiang, if you can help me,

I’d have the time to teach you.”

“May I take a look?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course.” Fang Xue nodded.

Jiang Hao approached the spirit field and picked up the seed.

He observed it carefully. It just looked like a stone. How could it be a seed?

‘Xuanyuan Tai shouldn’t have tried to test me with a stone. Did he just choose something that looked very much like a stone? Or was he deceived by his ancestors?’

Jiang Hao used the Daily Appraisal on the seed. He wanted to understand what it was first. If it turned out to be a stone, he would leave.

[Xuanyuan Flower Seed: The inheritance flower accumulated by the Xuanyuan Clan before they got exterminated. It was passed down to their descendants. Dilute a drop of blood from the members of the Xuanyuan Clan in a bowl of water and water the seed at dawn. Use this as a catalyst to trigger the inheritance. It needs a divine item to resonate with the blood. The seed will sprout after a month. The one whose blood it is gains the right to the inheritance and has a higher chance of obtaining Xuanyuan Clan’s divine treasure.]

‘It is actually a flower seed!’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

This was the Xuanyuan Clan’s inheritance, and only a member of the Xuanyuan Clan could obtain it.

Although he could grow it, it would make Xuanyuan Tai incredibly strong.

Was it worth it?

Jiang Hao thought about it for a while.

He had no grievances or enmity with Xuanyuan Tai and the Xuanyuan Clan. Him growing stronger wouldn’t really affect him.

However, he would only gain some information about language in exchange for helping grow the seed, which wouldn’t make him strong either.

However, when the flower bloomed, he might be able to obtain a golden bubble.

With a golden bubble, he could obtain a treasure. It wasn’t a loss for him either way.

Having made his decision, he didn’t think much further.

Xuanyuan Tai was somewhat worried when he saw Jiang Hao looking at the seed so intently.

Fang Xue, or rather Xuanyuan He, also felt that Jiang Hao wasn’t very trustworthy.

A cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm couldn’t possibly grow such an important flower.

However, she was also curious to see how Jiang Hao would respond.

There was a high probability that he would just come up with some made-up thing so that he could get the information he needed.

When her Senior Brother told her that he had found a way to grow the flower, she thought they were going to meet an elder in the Heavenly Note Sect. She didn’t expect it to be a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She also needed to guide him in learning languages. At least she could trap him that way.

Senior Brother Xuanyuan Tai had made her promise to stand down, so she had no choice.

However, she felt a bit disappointed. She could sense that Jiang Hao lacked knowledge and strength.

A moment later, Jiang Hao set down the seed on the ground.

“Is it possible to grow it?” asked Xuanyuan Tai.

Jiang Hao was calm. “Yes. However, does this Junior Sister really know enough about languages?

“Of course I do,” Xuanyuan He said.

“It’ll take a month. If you follow my instructions, the flower will sprout in a month,” said Jiang Hao truthfully.

“A month?” Xuanyuan He was stunned. She wondered how Jiang Hao could be so sure about it.

However, she had no choice but to play along.

“Well then… Senior Brother Jiang, you can use the month to learn whatever you want about languages while helping Junior Sister grow the flower,” said Xuanyuan Tai with a smile. There was hope!

Although Xuanyuan He didn’t know if the information was trustworthy, she knew that this person was the only one who had been able to grow the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Maybe it was worth believing in.

“How do we plant it?” Xuanyuan He asked.

“Is this an ancestral seed of yours?” Jiang Hao asked.

Xuanyuan He was shocked. ‘How did he know?’

Many people had seen this seed, but no one had figured out that it was an ancestral seed.

“Yes.” Xuanyuan He nodded.

Jiang Hao nodded. “At dawn, take a drop of your blood and dilute it in a bowl of water. Then, water the seed with it.” “Is that all?” Xuanyuan He asked.

They had tried it but not at dawn.

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “There’s another crucial step, but I can’t tell you that until you teach me what I need to know. I’ll come once a day, and in about a month, you’ll see the results.”

“Alright. When you come to check on the seed, I can teach you about the language you want to know. As long as the flower blooms, I am willing to teach you everything I know.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

Afterward, he bid them farewell and left.

The only troublesome thing was finding a divine item. He had quite a few divine items but…

He couldn’t use his Primordial Heavenly Blade or the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. He could only rely on the golden rings.

It remained to be seen whether it would actually work. He would try it tomorrow.

Watching Jiang Hao leave, Xuanyuan Tai let out a sigh of relief. “A month!”

Xuanyuan He was curious. “Senior Brother, did you mention to him that it was an ancestral seed?”

“Of course not,” Xuanyuan Tai said.

“Then… What if it really blooms?” Xuanyuan He was curious.

“We are far from stingy. We’ll find a way to compensate him. Right now, we are posing as outer sect disciples. If we promise a lot of spirit stones in exchange, it might make him suspicious,” said Xuanyuan Tai.

“A month… I don’t know. I feel like it’s unlikely that the seed will grow,” said Xuanyuan He.

For so many years, they hadn’t succeeded in growing the seed. Jiang Hao had just glanced at the seed and told them it would take a month.

It felt unreal.

The next day, Jiang Hao followed Xuanyuan Tai back to their residence in the afternoon.

They had already watered the seed with diluted blood at dawn. Jiang Hao touched the seed with the golden ring to trigger the divine inheritance, but he couldn’t sense any changes. He didn’t know if it had worked.

It was only the first day. He would appraise it tomorrow to see if it worked.

This time he appraised Fang Xue. Her real name was indeed Xuanyuan He.

Finally, Jiang Hao was at ease.

A month of learning languages. After that, he might even get a golden bubble..
