Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1318: Senior, I’m Tired of Standing (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a courtyard filled with the fragrance of plants and trees, a gentle breeze was blowing.

The middle-aged man, who was called the Tea Master, was sitting on a rocking chair and lightly fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

Sunlight fell on him, and he appeared relaxed.

It didn’t matter whether one was above or below the status of an immortal.

As long as there was justice in their heart, and they were bound by principles, no one could do anything to this “rule-abiding” man.

The weak were pitiable, but when they encountered a principled person, sometimes the strong were the ones to be pitied.

In front of him stood a young man dressed like a scholar.

This young man was an immortal, but the Tea Master did not care at all.

He was confident he had the upper hand.

He was just waiting for this person to offer enough benefits, especially since he was already doing so.

However, when this young man said something, the Tea Master’s brows furrowed.

He steadied his mind, looked up at the person in front of him, and repeated, “Liuchuan Hu?”

“Yes. Liuchuan Hu.” Jiang Hao smiled. “This person might not be simple at all. Have you heard of him, Senior?”

“What’s so special about him?” the Tea Master asked.

The Tea Master still appeared composed, but his relaxed confidence was no longer visible in his face.

“Do you know who he is?” Jiang Hao asked. He was not in a hurry.

“Who is he?” asked the Tea master with interest.

“He’s someone from the End of All Things and a defector at that. This person is even wanted by the Bright Moon Sect, yet no one can trace his whereabouts,” Jiang Hao said in admiration.

Upon hearing that, the Tea Master smiled as if this person only knew so far, and there was no need to be worried.

Finally, he asked, “Then, what about him?”

“The key is here,” Jiang Hao opened his folding fan and said warmly, “This person has a treasure. Because of this, he fears the End of All Things and is deeply afraid they will discover his whereabouts.”

“What treasure?” asked the Tea Master immediately.

“An Ancient Stone,” Jiang Hao said.

“What does this stone do?” asked the Tea Master.

“I don’t know, but if the End of All Things wants it, it must not be an ordinary item,” Jiang Hao said.

“It does indeed seem to be a treasure,” said the Tea Master with some regret. “Unfortunately, I have no interest in it. Your offer seems useless.”

Jiang Hao chuckled. “Senior, you’ve misunderstood. I never said I was offering the Ancient Stone as a price.”

“Then, what is it?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Senior, don’t you think Liuchuan Hu is afraid of being discovered by The End of All Things?”

“What do you mean?” asked the Tea Master.

“I mean nothing. I just heard that Liuchuan Hu went to the West and, for some reason, started collecting tea leaves. I wonder if it’s true,” Jiang Hao said with a smile and looked at the person in front of him. “Do you think that’s true, Tea Master?”

At this moment, the Tea Master sat up straight in his chair. He was no longer as relaxed and confident as before.

“Can you get up, Senior? I’m tired of standing.” Jiang Hao smiled.

The Tea Master got up slowly and stepped aside.

Jiang Hao sat in the rocking chair and then leaned back. It was quite comfortable.

But he felt something was missing, so he asked the Tea Master to fan him.

The latter lowered his head unwillingly until Jiang Hao dug up the third stone from under the chair.

The Tea Master looked terrified.

“Are your arms tired, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“I wouldn’t dare.” The Tea Master shook his head and then fanned Jiang Hao.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao put the stone back. He did not recognize the stone.

He did not sense anything special about it either.

To know the stone’s purpose required considerable knowledge or the Daily Appraisal ability.

Unfortunately, he had already used it.

There was no need to appraise it for the moment.

However, the Ancient Stone was probably related to the Ancient Lands.

It was related to the Dragon Clan and The End of All Things.

It was better not to get involved. It was easy to get caught up in it.

“Do you have the Dew of the First Sun?” Jiang Hao asked.

This was the purpose of his trip, so he did not want to cause any more trouble.

“I don’t have tea leaves like the Dew of the First Sun,” said the Tea Master bitterly. “The Dew of the First Sun is not something that ordinary cultivators like us can possess. It is said that even immortals might not know about it.”

“Where can I buy the Dew of the First Sun? How many spirit stones would it cost?” Jiang Hao asked.

Knowing the place and price was all that mattered to him.

“The price should be a hundred thousand spirit stones per pack,” said the Tea Master.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

It was so expensive, but he could afford it.

His brows furrowed slightly.

The Tea Master thought for a moment and said, “But even with a hundred thousand spirit stones, you might not find a place to buy it. The Dew of the First Sun is produced in only two places. One is in The End of All Things overseas, and the other is in the Mountain Sea Sword Sect in the North. The Mountain Sea Sword Sect has the most authentic Dew of the First Sun. The End of All Things just started to cultivate that tea after borrowing some tea leaves from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect. But the price is the same in both places. Due to low production value, it’s not widely circulated. Only a very few people can buy it. If you want to buy it, you’ll have to find someone else to do it for you. The price could be anything.”

‘I can’t buy it directly?’ This surprised Jiang Hao.

He thought the September Spring was already impressive, but the Dew of the First Sun was even more extraordinary.

He had over four million spirit stones and could not even spend them on this rare tea.

“Do you know who has it right now?” Jiang Hao asked.

No matter what, he had to buy a pack of that tea.

“It’s hard to say if anyone has it in the West, but the Heavenly Tower overseas might have a pack or two of it,” said the Tea Master.
