Around early January, Jiang Hao looked at the stone tablet helplessly.

There was still quite some time before he could advance.

Currently, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower needed seventeen days to spawn a bubble.

Two more days passed after becoming a True Immortal.

In other words, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower could barely provide two bubbles in a month.

He was hoping it could give him at least four blue bubbles in some of the months so that it would amount to about forty bubbles in a year.

Perhaps it would give him two hundred bubbles in five years.

Usually, if he stayed in the sect and collected the bubbles, he would be able to advance to the late stage of the True Immortal Realm in about eight years.

The prerequisite was that he would have to comprehend the Dao.

If he could not comprehend it, it would not work, even if he had a high cultivation realm.

The more he could comprehend, the more one’s cultivation would improve.

If his assumptions are correct, he can save twenty to thirty points of cultivation with each advancement.

Then, it might be possible to reach the late stage in six or seven years.

It would work only if he could comprehend the Dao properly, but enlightenment could not be forced.

He did not have much hope.

That aside, he was able to use the early form of the sixth form of the Heavenly Blade. Soon, he would be able to use the Black-Yellow Curse.

The Black-Yellow Curse was an offensive technique.

Its power was quite formidable.

The Universe in A Palm was a sealing technique, and the Mountain Sea Seal was a suppression technique.

The Black-Yellow Curse, however, belonged to the offensive category.

He was unsure of its exact nature.

Was it similar to the Heavenly Blade? If it was, it would be somewhat disappointing.

However, he was not in a rush. He wanted to put his mind in a good state first.

In addition, the Longevity Fruit needed to be placed in his courtyard. He needed to pick a good spot for it.

It would be great if the Longevity Fruit could also produce bubbles.

However, it was not like the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. The flower needed watering, but the fruit did not.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hao placed the Longevity Fruit in a corner, next to the Immortal Peach Tree.

The Longevity Fruit had its own domain that was about seven feet in radius.

Fortunately, his courtyard was not that small and could accommodate the fruit.

There were also tall spirit herbs around it, so it could blend in with them.

At that moment, the Longevity Fruit still looked like an anthill.

But no ants emerged from it. There were no purple stones around it, either.

Jiang Hao did not know what was going on. He decided to observe it closely.

After doing that, he placed the Half-Moon Blade in the corner.

This particular Half-Moon Blade had been with him for decades.

It could not hold up any longer.

As for the next Half-Moon Blade, he wanted to buy one that was at the Soul Ascension Realm.

It did not have to be extraordinary as long as it was of decent quality.

Since he was in the Primordial Spirit Realm, fewer people were eyeing him.

Spending a significant amount of spirit stones to buy a good blade would not seem so unusual.

He spent ten thousand spirit stones to buy a pitch-black sword.

The better ones sold for twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones, so he bought the cheapest one.

At the end of January, Cheng Chou took Xiao Li out of the sect.

The Great Era was about to arrive, and many people would not be able to venture out again. Even those people who were not immortals yet were preparing for it.

They wanted to prepare to advance or become an immortal.

After all, they were not sure when such an opportunity would arrive.

If they were not prepared on that particular day, they might not be able to advance.

Since Cheng Chou had left, Jiang Hao had to go to the Spirit Herb Garden every day.

In the past few days, most spirit herbs produced white or green bubbles.

A blue bubble would appear once every month or two.

It appeared irregularly.

During this period, he also checked the stone tablet.

Xing and Gui were traveling, so he only saw Zhang and Liu chatting most of the time.

Zhang mentioned that the Astronomical Academy had fallen silent. Some of the seniors who had gone out had returned.

However, the North was still in chaos. Some disciples were running around trying to figure things out.

In addition, the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had begun to condense the Flower of Fortune once again.

Liu expressed his doubt. He was curious how Zhang knew about all this.

Zhang’s response was that people with the fortune of the West had sensed it.

When Jiang Hao saw this, he knew it was Lou Mantian.

It seemed that Lou Mantian had no intention of stopping it.

Of course, he might not be able to find it at all.

Sometimes, Jiang Hao wondered if Lou Mantian, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Jin could get the Great Era’s opportunities.

They seem to have been in one place for many years. Did it count as a force?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

No one could give him an answer.

Perhaps he could ask the Red Dragon about it. He was always at the Jade Cloud Pavilion. It was almost like he was part of that place.

The gathering had not started yet, so Jiang Hao was not in a hurry.

The news about Smiling San Sheng and the ambush might have spread far and wide.

Perhaps the others would ask about it in the gathering.

He also needed to understand a bit about the Five Demons.

Time was running out.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao rarely saw Ming Yi.

It had been a long time since they last met. Surprisingly, she had also reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.

“Junior Brother, it’s been a long time.” Ming Yi smiled.

“Indeed. It’s been so long since I last saw you, Senior Sister,” he said.

“Late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm? Your cultivation realm is so much higher than mine.” Ming Yi sighed.

In the past, this person only seemed like a pawn to be used in her eyes.

Things had completely changed since then.

Things had changed to the point that she had to look up to him at this moment.

He was only about seventy years old and was already at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Not just that, he was also a candidate for the seat of the top disciple and a True Disciple.

In the future, he might actually compete with the top disciples of the sect.

It was astounding.

Time filters out the weak and the strong. Some stood out over time, while others got completely submerged.

“Back then, when you were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, I used to come here to ask you for spirit herbs, Junior Brother,” said Ming Yi with a nostalgic smile. “Thinking back… it’s already been fifty years since then.”

“Indeed. How is the spirit herb?” asked Jiang Hao as he recalled the past.

“It withered,” said Ming Yi helplessly.
