1459 King Hai Luo's Master Has Arrived (2)
He knew the location of the Human Emperor's tomb, so his cooperation was also necessary.
Jiang Hao frowned slightly as he looked at these people.
He was not familiar with the first two people, but the third person…
Was he not the person Gui was looking for?
Moreover, they were sent here by the Bright Moon Sect.
Jiang Hao understood.
The Heavenly Note Sect had cooperated with the Bright Moon Sect.
'It is no wonder people from the Bright Moon Sect came here. It's all for this.' He thought.
The cooperation entailed the Heavenly Note Sect helping with the interrogation while the Bright Moon Sect helped them in turn with combat.
Jiang Hao realized that he often visited the fifth floor, so...
Was his interrogation ability being used to collaborate with the Bright Moon Sect?
Unknowingly, he was being used again.
The Heavenly Note Sect really did not want to waste any manpower.
Previously, those who were problematic were sent to the River of Deathly Silence. This time, he was being used like this.
"King Hai Luo's Master is here. When was the last time he visited?" Mi Lingyue asked.
"Hai Luo has been gone for a long time," said the lantern bearer.
"The last I heard, he went out to sea again. He'll probably be back soon," Mi Lingyue said.
"He won't stay away as long as his master is here," Zhuang Yuzhen said.
At this moment, Jiang Hao walked over to them and offered them a peach each.
Xiao Li was not around, so there were plenty of peaches left. He brought some for these people and gave the rest to Cheng Chou.
"Another one?" Mi Lingyue was quite happy.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother." The lantern-carrying Daoist accepted the peach with a smile.
"Junior Brother, is there anything you want to learn? We can teach you."
"Yeah, anything." Mi Lingyue nodded.
"Our cultivation is not that high now, but we have plenty of knowledge."
"Can I learn how to grow tea?" Jiang Hao did not hold back.
Hearing this, the group was taken aback.
"You want to grow tea?" Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
"Is it difficult?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Growing tea leaves isn't too hard but processing them can be quite challenging; it requires very specific conditions," Zhuang Yuzhen said.
Jiang Hao nodded. To make the tea leaves fragrant and effective, special processing was needed, though simply picking and brewing them was also an option.
However, the results would not be as good.
Some tea leaves needed to be sealed to make them more fragrant and aromatic.
"I do know a bit about it, but what kind of tea are you thinking of growing?" Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
"Senior, do you know about the Dew of the First Sun?" Jiang Hao asked.
Zhuang Yuzhen was speechless.
He knew about it but did not know how to grow it. He did not have the seeds either.
The others had not even heard of the Dew of the First Sun.
"You're aiming pretty high," Zhuang Yuzhen remarked.
Before, he was learning simple formations, and this time, he wanted to cultivate a rare tea tree.
"What is the Dew of the First Sun?" asked the lantern bearer.
"It's a tea from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect. There's hardly any of it left in a few hundred years, let alone grown. It's not even available for purchase," said Old Man Corpse Sea
"Why do you want to grow this?" Mi Lingyue asked curiously.
'Because it's so expensive to buy…' Jiang Hao thought but did not say it out loud.
With the Grand Era just beginning, the price of this tea had already surged to 1.2 million. Who knew how high it might get?
The September Spring was worth 50,000 spirit stones.
The Azure Red tea was already 35,000.
The price hike was more dramatic than that of September Spring.
He hadn't stockpiled enough of it back then. Otherwise, he would have made a fortune.
Jiang Hao then moved to the area where the three new people were held. The sect had not specified which of them was a priority, so he could pick anyone.
At this moment, the three of them were also watching Jiang Hao.
"A Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator? This is the first time I've seen someone with such a low cultivation realm. Are you here to deliver our food?" asked the old man.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
"No? Then, why are you distributing peaches to these people?" asked the woman.
"Why else? He's here to deliver some fruits, not 'food.' I doubt he was sent here to interrogate us," said You Tian mockingly.
Zhuang Yuzhen and the others quietly ate their peaches.
Hai Luo's master had shown up less frequently in the past years, so he was gradually forgotten.
They did not forget, but the new captives had no idea who Jiang Hao was.
They wondered if he was still as influential and scary after all these years.
"Actually, I was sent here to interrogate you," said Jiang Hao.
He had indeed been invited here for interrogation.
You Tian and the others burst into laughter.
"You? Interrogate us? What methods are you going to use? Are you going to beat us up? Or do you want to discuss how to transcend to the Soul Ascension Realm?" You Tian sneered. "The Bright Moon Sect couldn't get us to talk, so what can you do?"
"Seniors, are you reluctant to talk because you think you'll have no value if you reveal the information?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Are you saying you can guarantee our safety if we cooperate?" Jiang Xue asked with disdain.
If such a low-level tactic worked on them, they would not be here in the first place.
The Bright Moon Sect would not have needed to wait so many years.
Jiang Hao shook his head slightly.
He did not say much and appraised You Tian instead.
He had already confirmed that these people were here in exchange for the Bright Moon sect's cooperation.
If the interrogation failed, the cooperation would end. Rather, the agreement would reach its end if the time limit ran out, and he still could not get anything out of them.
Currently, the Heavenly Note Sect desperately sought stability, and that was not possible without the immortal sect's support.
He would not be able to cultivate in peace either.
So, he needed to produce some results.
Unfortunately, Senior Sister Yinsha had not given him enough information, so he did not know how much time he actually had left.
The appraisal feedback appeared quickly.
[You Tian: Former Sect Master of the Heavenly Gate Sect. His cultivation was disintegrated and absorbed by the Lawless Tower. He is only at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. In his youth, he traveled the world and accidentally stumbled upon a stone tablet beneath the Immortal Gazing Platform, which contained information about the Human Emperor. He saw a door there. With just a glance, he felt that his cultivation had changed, and his mind had also changed. There was an invisible force protecting him. He guessed that it was the tomb of the Human Emperor, and he kept that secret buried deep in his heart. Later, he was bewitched by the Fallen Immortal Clan to steal treasures from the Bright Moon Sec, where he was captured. The Fallen Immortal Clan informed the Bright Moon Sect that he knew about the Human Emperor's tomb, so he managed to escape death. He feels that if he stays quiet, he'll remain alive. He thinks that people from the Heavenly Gate Sect would eventually find him.]
Jiang Hao was quite surprised when he saw the feedback.
Where was the Immortal Gazing Platform?
"Primordial Spirit brat, listen to me. You think this person knows anything at all? The only reason he's this stubborn is that he has nothing to say at all. I bet he'll start spouting nonsense if you threaten him a little," said the old man and smiled.
Jiang Hao nodded.
You Tian sneered. "Some people have tried that before, but do you dare? We're in the Heavenly Note Sect, right? What kind of place is this? We are from the Bright Moon Sect. Do you really dare to kill us?"
Jiang Hao shook his head. "I wouldn't dare."
"So, how do you plan to interrogate us?" You Tian asked mockingly.
"Do they want to know about the place you once visited?" Jiang Hao asked.
You Tian chuckled but said nothing.
Jiang Hao stared at him, then beckoned for him to come closer.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
There it was!
It had been many years since the people on the fifth floor had seen that gesture.
The Great Era had begun, and these people were all sent over by the Bright Moon Sect. Whether Hai Luo's master still held his might would be decided at this moment.
These people came from the Bright Moon Sect in the East, which was an immortal sect.
If these people surrendered to Jiang Hao, he was truly worthy of being called King Hai Luo's master.
They did not want him to fail.
They had nothing else to reveal, so they only hoped that others were also stripped of their secrets.
These proud individuals might then become a part of their group, and they could pass on experiences as their seniors.
"Come closer?" You Tian frowned. "Are you planning to use some mental techniques to influence me?"
Jiang Hao shook his head. "I just have some sincere words to share. Perhaps after hearing them, you might change your mind and cooperate with me, Senior."
"Hahahaha…" You Tian laughed.
He had been in the Bright Moon Sect for so many years, but he had never heard such a funny joke.
A few sincere words could change his mind?
If that were the case, why would he have ended up in this place?
Still, he moved closer. "Let me feel your sincerity, then. Let me tell you, even in a special place like this, you can't affect my spirit."
Jiang Hao nodded.
He softly muttered something and then stepped back.
You Tian still maintained his sneer.
Jiang Hao was surprised. Did it not work?
However, he noticed a flicker in You Tian's eyes, but his face did not change.
His smile stiffened on his face.
"Do you think my words are sincere, Senior? Should I relay them to the others in the tower?" Jiang Hao asked softly.
