Chapter 612  Everyone Has the Right to Choose

After retrieving the storage treasure from Ran Hui, Jiang Hao returned to his room.

He looked around to make sure everything was fine before taking out the storage treasure.

He wanted to check how many spirit stones were inside.

Previously, he hadn't taken it out because he thought Hong Yuye would say something, and he would have had to discard the storage treasure.

So, he left it with Ran Hui to clean the storage treasure and safeguard it for him.

"He wasn't very rich, but there are quite a few books."

There were only 7,636 spirit stones.

There was only one type of pill, and it was one he hadn't seen before. There was a good amount of it, though.

'It's not a healing pill, nor a cultivation-enhancing one, so it shouldn't be worth much. The books seem unusual.'

Jiang Hao took out one of the books, which read: "The Eight Wonders of Floral Formations."

"Is this about formations?" Jiang Hao felt a bit disappointed. He didn't study formations.

However, he could take a look at it anyway. If it was highly advanced, he might be able to sell it for a good price.

As he flipped it open, Jiang Hao's brows furrowed.

A few pages later, his pupils dilated in astonishment.

He closed the book and looked around.

Once he saw that no one was nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn't dare to read any further. He was afraid that Hong Yuye would suddenly appear behind him.

He had a subconscious feeling that it might be much safer to read it after he activated the Heavenly Cauldron.

He then looked at the other books: "The Classic of the Pure Woman," "Scenes of Love and Lust," "The Union of Yin and Yang in Six Volumes," and so on.

Jiang Hao set all the books aside and fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how to handle them for a moment.

Should he burn them?

It would be a pity to do so.

Should he sell them?

How would he even go about selling them?

Should he keep them?

He was afraid of being discovered.

After much hesitation, Jiang Hao made a decision.

'I'll seal them.'

He used the Universe in a Palm Technique and sealed the books in a purple sphere in his hand.

He decided to find a suitable place to exchange the books for spirit stones later.

After that, Jiang Hao turned his attention to the pills.

He appraised them.

Soon, he received feedback from his divine ability.

It was a pill meant to be used in conjunction with the content of the books. Its effects were quite wild.

For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if this pill would be effective for him.

Finally, he sealed the pills too. He planned to sell them later.

Only one question remained. What identity should he use to sell them?

Smiling San Sheng was not this kind of person.

Should he sell it as himself?

That didn't seem like a good idea.

The fan could change into different forms, so there was a chance he could use another disguise.

Finally, he focused on the gains from the spirit stones.

Adding to what he already had, there were 38,000 spirit stones.

He still had some items on him that hadn't been sold yet. Once they were sold, he would have around 80,000.

"I'm getting rich."

Jiang Hao stored everything and began to study the fourth form of the Heavenly Blade: "No regrets."

The more he studied it, the deeper his understanding of the Seven Forms of Heavenly Blade became. The blade intent in his eyes also grew stronger. When he unleashed his blade again, its power would reach new heights.

Five days later, the ship docked again.

This time, Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye stood on the deck and enjoyed the scenery.

Nobody paid attention to Ran Hui anymore.

That day, the ship set sail again.

After that, they crossed the endless sea fog. It wasn't clear which direction they were headed. They couldn't even see the sea ahead.

There was thunder in the sky.

If not for the large ship, few people could traverse this area. The whole experience was disorienting.

Three days later, the large ship passed through the sea fog and arrived in a calm sea with clear skies.

"We've finally arrived. A few days later than expected…"

On the deck, someone sighed.

"It's probably because of Smiling San Sheng. He disrupted the plans of many people."

"Let's not mention him. Just talking about him makes me afraid that he'll kill another."

Others nodded.

Despite Smiling San Sheng's gentle front, he could kill someone in the next second. He was truly unpredictable.

To say that his temperament was strange would not be an understatement.

Standing on the deck, Mi Lingyue also sighed.

In the end, she didn't approach Smiling San Sheng because she couldn't understand his intentions.

The danger was too high, and she didn't dare take the risk.

"Madam, these people are all here for Dragon's Blood. Should we get involved?" asked a maid.

"No, that is not our purpose. There's no need to take risks." Mi Lingyue shook her head.

The ship docked.

"Let's go."

Mi Lingyue took flight on her sword.

Everyone else did the same.

Upon reaching the shore, many people flew toward the central part of the island. That was the destination of their journey.

Because of Smiling San Sheng, they had to get there ahead of time. Otherwise, it might cause trouble.

At this moment, Jiang Hao arrived at the deck.

He turned to Ran Hui and his wife and whispered, "Shall we go together?"

Ran Hui, who had been waiting to disembark, was stunned. He quickly helped his wife up and nodded in response.

Hong Yuye walked alongside Jiang Hao and didn't say anything.

It seemed that she never interfered with Jiang Hao's actions or decisions.

"Thank you, Immortal Elder," Ran Hui said gratefully.

He knew that without the person in front of him, he and his wife would have died long ago.

"Did you come here to escape or cure your wife?" asked Jiang Hao.

"Cure her?" Ran Hui was surprised.

His wife seemed anxious.

"Even changing her appearance won't help," said a faint voice.

At that moment, Hong Yuye suddenly reached out and pulled down the woman's robe.

The woman was frightened.

She held onto Ran Hui tightly and bowed her head to try to avoid being seen.

However, Jiang Hao still saw her.

Her face was full of scars. There was even a burn mark on the cheek.

"But it's useless," Ran Hui said helplessly.

"It seems you've indeed tried many methods," Jiang Hao said.

He remained calm.

He wasn't affected because of the poison. His state of mind helped a great deal too.

"But it's useless," Ran Hui said helplessly.

"I might have a way, but I don't know if it'll work. If it fails, there's a possibility you might end up dead," Jiang Hao said solemnly. "You can consider it. Before I leave, I will contact you again. The choice is up to you."

Jiang Hao didn't linger.

He indeed had a way, but there were things he couldn't foresee.

As for whether they were willing, that depended on the two people.

If they were willing, it was a small effort on his part.

If they weren't, he wouldn't bother with it.

Everyone had the right to choose, but everyone also had to bear the consequences of their choices.

...

On the ship, Li watched Smiling San Sheng leave with a slight frown.

The arrival of the person could easily affect his position on the island.

"Will Smiling San Sheng's audacity affect this trade?" a middle-aged man behind him asked.

"This is Chaos Stone Island. Once there's trouble, someone will handle it naturally. But take a few people and inform them that this is our place for external trade. Advise him to be less aggressive. Taking a loss isn't a big deal. The overall situation is what matters," Li said.

"The big picture is important. No matter who it is, we have to be patient. We can indeed suppress him." The middle-aged man nodded.

"For safety's sake, take the Island Master's token with you," Li said.

The middle-aged man was delighted.
