Chapter 646: Why Does the Sea God Pill Seem Inexpensive?

“Why aren’t you walking?” Shangguan Qingsu asked. The other two men seemed curious too.

Jiang Hao walked ahead. “Nothing… I’m just curious as to what kind of fish would fetch such a high price.”

He wanted to go back to fishing, but a more pressing matter required his attention. No matter how many spirit stones they had, it wouldn’t matter if they didn’t have their lives.

“This place is close to the Abyssal Sea. The Nether Fish can enter and exit it safely. Some people who want to enter or exit the Abyssal Sea offer high prices to get the fish to study how it does it,” said Shangguan Qingsu.

“Is it for the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart?” Jiang Hao asked.

Shangguan Qingsu thought for a moment. “You’re quite well-informed. But some people seem to be after more than just the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. There are rumors that the Abyssal Sea holds the secret to becoming a Heavenly King. Some say it houses the true rebirth of a dragon, while others claim it’s a sanctuary for the True Dragon Clan. Recently, rumors have been rampant. It’s difficult to verify the truth. One thing is clear. There have been changes in the Abyssal Sea, which have led to various speculations. The Nether Fish is the key.”

Jiang Hao nodded and recalled what the person before had said. There were changes related to the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.

Now, it seemed he had a vague answer, although it was still unclear whether this was the case or not. Nevertheless, it was better to know something than nothing.

“What kind of person can enter the Abyssal Sea and return alive?” Jiang Hao asked.

“You’re not from the Heavenly River region, are you?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.

“I’m not familiar with this area.” Jiang Hao smiled.

She didn’t press him further. “No one who enters the Abyssal Sea comes back unscathed. Even the Heavenly Kings have a hard time returning. It’s said that someone did enter and return, but it’s unclear whether that story is true.” “Who was that person?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The First master of the Heavenly Tower,” Shangguan Qingsu said.

“Have others tried asking him about it?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course, but since that time, the First Master has isolated himself and hasn’t seen anyone,” Shangguan Qingsu said.

Jiang Hao nodded. The reputation of the Fist Master of the Heavenly Tower was well-deserved.

After a while, they reached the inn, and Jiang Hao asked them how many rooms they needed.

They took one room and asked when they could begin.

Jiang Hao gave them a rough answer and told them to prepare. He didn’t want to hand over the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to them. It was too dangerous. Instead, he planned to use formations to establish contact and attempt to suppress the curse on their bodies.

He didn’t have to do this himself, though. He planned to consult Hong Yuye about it and also inform her that Shangguan Qingsu might try to take action against him in three days.

Now that he knew Feng Hua’s weakness, he had made significant progress.

Hong Yuye didn’t have to help him. If she chose not to, he would have to deal with these people alone.

“For the next three days, the three of you will stay here. I won’t leave from here. Don’t worry,” he said and then left the room.

As they watched Jiang Hao leave, Shangguan Qingsu and the others sat down on the floor.

The middle-aged man said, “Is he trustworthy?”

“Regardless of whether we trust him or not, we need to try it,” Shangguan Qingsu said. “Be prepared, and don’t let him get away. If he really possesses this ability, he surely holds some valuable treasures or knows how to break the curse.”

The other two nodded in agreement, and they focused their power on a corner of the inn. All of their power would be focused on Jiang Hao. There was no way they’d let him escape.

“You certainly know how to stir up trouble,”

When Jiang Hao entered Hong Yuye’s room, he saw her eyeing him.

He sensed the actions of Shangguan Qingsu all too clearly. It was far too obvious. They weren’t even trying to conceal anything.

He sighed inwardly and closed the door behind him.

“Senior, I was a bit reckless in my actions. I was eager to complete the task you gave me. Fortunately, I found out quite a bit today.”

It was rash to provoke someone in the Immortal Ascension Platform, especially with Hong Yuye present. No matter how brave he was, he wouldn’t willingly take on such a task.

“Tell me about it.” Hong Yuye turned toward the window.

Jiang Hao walked over to take a look, but it was just a view of the street and buildings. He couldn’t understand what was so interesting about it to her.

After brewing some fresh tea, Jiang Hao explained everything.

“An avatar in the Sunset immortal Sect?” Hong Yuye was also surprised. “Have you thought about how to deal with this avatar?”

“I haven’t decided yet. I’m considering whether I should confront the avatar in person or use some other method,” Jiang Hao said.

This matter was complicated, and he needed to be cautious. Since Feng Hua valued the avatar so dearly, she must have made thorough preparations.

“How are you so certain the curse will erupt three days from now?”

Her sudden, brilliant smile caught Jiang Hao off guard, but he quickly regained his composure. He just remained silent because he didn’t know how to explain it.

Hong Yuye didn’t seem to mind. “If you plan to use the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to help them suppress it, aren’t you worried they’ll turn against you once it’s done?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Then, go and do it. If I have to step in later, remember that you’ll have to pay the price,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment. “I don’t have any knowledge of formation.” Hong Yuye cast him a disapproving glance.

“I’ve spent quite some time on cultivation, growing spirit herbs, tree planting, learning the forms of Heavenly Blade, body techniques, crafting talismans, and understanding them. I didn’t have time to learn much about formations,” he said.

Besides, he didn’t have much talent when it came to formations.

Moreover, the cost of learning formation arrays was too high. Studying it himself wasn’t an option.

Hong Yuye casually placed a piece of paper on the table and a small box.

“I won’t let you go unrewarded,” she said.

When he opened the box, he was stunned. It was a Sea God Pill.

This was truly a valuable item that had saved his life on two occasions. But why did he feel like this divine pill wasn’t as rare as he’d thought?

Jiang Hao left the room.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, it was time for the curse to take effect.

Sitting cross-legged within the formation, Shangguan Qingsu and the other two were extremely anxious. They had prepared many things over the past few days, all in the hope of lessening the pain.

At this moment, they were apprehensive. They wanted to minimize their suffering.

They even thought of sparing this mysterious person if he could help them.

Soon, the curse marks started appearing on their foreheads.

All three of them were terrified.

‘Didn’t the curse diminish in the slightest?’

It was useless. It was no use believing in a Return to Void Realm cultivator, after all.

Now, they had no way to stop him if he decided to run..
