Chapter 543: I'll count on you when I eat candied haws in the future
“Recently, there have been rumors claiming that our Beast Taming Sect wants to strengthen mosquitoes. I wonder if your Spirit Herb Sect has any insights about this.”
In the Beast Taming Sect’s conference hall, Sect Master Xiong Sanquan stared at the Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One with an unfriendly expression.
After the Spirit Herb Sect Master went to the Forge Machinery World, Elder One took over authority. It was precisely during this period that rumors about mosquitoes began to circulate.
After Xiong Sanquan noticed something amiss, he investigated and focused his attention on the Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One.
“No insights.”
Xiong Sanquan sneered coldly. “No insights? What a coincidence. A few days ago, we went to the Great Zhou Dynasty and asked the Nineteenth Princess Ji Kongkong to trace back through time. Guess what we found?”
The Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One’s expression turned ugly.
Whether there was business or not, people kept asking the Ji family for help, and the Ji family was always very willing to assist. This made those who played with schemes and conspiracies completely useless.
Do you Ji family members have no limits on time tracing? Using it so casually!
“We don’t demand much. Just give us all the profits you’ve earned from selling mosquito repellent products during this period, and stop spreading rumors.”
The Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One didn’t want to give up the profits already in hand and said with an apologetic smile, “Sect Master Xiong, I think we can discuss this properly. This is long-term benefits. If we continue spreading rumors, we can split the profits from selling mosquito repellent products fifty-fifty in the future.”
Xiong Sanquan slammed the table and shouted, “I spit on that! I haven’t even settled the reputation damage you caused our Beast Taming Sect, and you still have the nerve to suggest continuing to spread rumors? If I said your Spirit Herb Sect makes poisons, would you be willing to hear that?”
The Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One said awkwardly, “From a historical perspective, our Spirit Herb Sect indeed did manufacture poisons.”
“Don’t change the subject! Today I’m only asking one thing – will you stop spreading these rumors or not!”
The Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One wanted to negotiate further when Li Er stepped into the conference hall.
“Hmm, you have guests? Should I let you chat first?”
Li Er wouldn’t come to the Beast Taming Sect without reason. He had been invited by Xiong Sanquan and arrived punctually according to their agreement.
He didn’t expect Xiong Sanquan to be talking with someone.
Li Er thought about going out to wander around more.
He hadn’t wandered enough yet.
“Sect Master Li, please stay. There’s a matter where I need you to help administer justice.” Xiong Sanquan stopped Li Er.
The Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One understood – Xiong Sanquan had brought Li Er for backup.
He could only make concessions. They were in the wrong to begin with, and the other side had a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert. Continuing to stubbornly resist would show they didn’t know their place.
“Hmm? The weather changed?” Li Er suddenly looked up, being the first to detect the celestial phenomenon change.
Xiong Sanquan and the Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One were slightly slower.
The three flew out of the conference hall and looked up at the stars.
“This is… changing the trajectories of all the stars in the sky without using the slightest bit of magical power, relying only on mental will?!” Li Er was extremely shocked. This method surpassed his imagination.
Even Earthly Immortals and Celestial Immortals couldn’t accomplish this.
…
“Even if I moved the Nine Provinces World, you wouldn’t be able to see it. There’s no need to demonstrate, so let’s leave it at that.” Jiang Li said casually. Using mental power to move the stars was no difficulty for him.
“Reaching Major Achievement in the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture can roughly achieve this effect.”
“Human Sovereign Jiang?”
At this point, how could Shuangji not know who stood before her?
Other than Jiang Li, who else could accomplish such unnatural things?
It was universally acknowledged in the Nine Provinces that anything that defied common sense was related to Human Sovereign Jiang.
Li Er and the other two detected that the anomaly originated from within the Beast Taming Sect and quickly found Jiang Li.
When the Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One saw Jiang Li, his legs trembled, afraid that Human Sovereign Jiang had also come about the mosquito matter.
“I knew it. Only you, Human Sovereign Jiang, could create something like this.” Li Er laughed heartily, completely unsurprised that it was Jiang Li’s doing.
“I just made some slight modifications to the Beast Taming Immortal Scripture and incidentally demonstrated what it looks like when cultivated to Major Achievement.”
Jiang Li handed the immortal scripture he had comprehended to Xiong Sanquan.
“…Your method has nothing to do with the words ‘beast taming’.” Li Er complained. Beast taming, beast taming – where are the beasts?
Seeing that Xiong Sanquan also couldn’t understand the technique he had written, Jiang Li had no choice but to patiently explain it to him.
Only then did Xiong Sanquan understand – the original Beast Taming Immortal Scripture was only at Minor Achievement level in Human Sovereign Jiang’s view. This was equivalent to His Excellency Human Sovereign Jiang writing the subsequent techniques for the Beast Taming Sect!
A technique that could cultivate to Golden Immortal!
Seven Kill Daozi said to the two women beside him, “You see, I told you long ago that Human Sovereign Jiang’s actions must have profound meaning.”
Yu Xiaomeng muttered quietly, “But I feel like His Excellency is just simply very idle?”
Li Jiaojiao was concerned about other matters: “Fugui, from now on you’ll be a Beast Taming Sect disciple like us.”
Seven Kill Daozi made a bitter face. If he clarified the situation with the Beast Taming Sect now, both he and the sect would lose face. But if he became a Beast Taming Sect disciple and Sword Sovereign found out, he might very well be picked up by his collar with Sword Sovereign’s sword and flown around the Nine Provinces.
Seven Kill Daozi said with forced courage, “Let’s take it one step at a time. I’ll first become a Beast Taming Sect disciple, then find a way to withdraw later.”
Jiang Li incidentally asked Xiong Sanquan about the matter of cultivating mosquitoes, and Xiong Sanquan complained to Jiang Li, asking him to administer justice.
Jiang Li gave the Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One a meaningful look but didn’t say much.
He only needed to indicate his attitude, and the Spirit Herb Sect’s Elder One would know what to do.
…
[Congratulations host for completing the task. Settle rewards?]
“Settle.”
[Task reward: One copy of Beast Taming Immortal Scripture]
The original Beast Taming Immortal Scripture fell into Jiang Li’s hands. Jiang Li casually glanced through it and, unsurprisingly, it was roughly the same as the Minor Achievement level of the immortal scripture he wrote, lacking the Intermediate Achievement and Major Achievement sections.
[Task reward: One Beast Control Seal]
A runic symbol appeared in Jiang Li’s palm.
[Beast Control Seal: Masterpiece of Beast Taming Sect founder Perfected One Xuhuang. Can only be used once in a person’s lifetime. Can control the thoughts of one demon tribe member. The demon tribe member cannot resist and will wholeheartedly submit to the seal’s owner.]
[Note: The demon tribe member’s cultivation can be at most one major realm higher than the seal owner’s. If the realm difference is too great, the control will break.]
Jiang Li frowned. This wasn’t anything good. Unwilling to let such a thing remain in the world, he shattered the seal.
[Task reward: One bottle of Qingmu Spirit Tempering Liquid]
Jiang Li was quite familiar with this item. It could increase the growth speed of spirit plants and was extremely precious, originating from Commander Liu’s hands.
This item was so precious that Jiang Li didn’t dare ask Commander Liu for it.
Because the Qingmu Spirit Tempering Liquid was Commander Liu’s bathwater.
Jiang Li held a bottle of Commander Liu’s bathwater, unsure whether it would be better to pour it out or return it to Commander Liu.
Coincidentally, there was a grove of hawthorn trees below Jiang Li.
“Let’s consider it nature’s gift.”
Jiang Li found a sturdy hawthorn tree and poured out the entire bottle of Qingmu Spirit Tempering Liquid.
The hawthorn tree irrigated with top-grade heavenly treasures quickly showed a reaction. Its branches and leaves stretched out, tender leaves turning emerald green, and it even suddenly grew several meters taller, standing out prominently in the hawthorn grove.
“Grow well. In the future, I’ll be counting on you for my candied hawthorns.” Jiang Li patted the tree trunk, encouraging the hawthorn tree.
Jiang Li didn’t linger. He turned and left, stepping into the spatial passage opened by the system.
There was a new task to search for Celestial Ascension Ladder fragments.
