“Milk teeth?”

Jiang Hao furrowed his brows as he looked at the teeth. Do dragons have milk teeth too?

He raised his head and looked at the young girl in front of him. He suddenly realized that Xiao Li was not much different from a human.

“Senior Brother Jiang, should we put these teeth on the roof or bury them in the ground?”

Jiang Hao was puzzled. Why would they do that?

Xiao Li said, “Mother said that baby teeth grow quickly.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Hao examined Xiao Li’s mouth and noticed that it was her lower teeth.

So, should they be placed on the roof?

In an instant, he flickered and appeared on the roof. He tried to find a good place to plant the dragon teeth.

Only then did he return to the courtyard.

Xiao Li was quite excited.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. These dragon teeth should be worth quite a few spirit stones.

The only strange thing was that the teeth still looked ordinary even after falling out from Xiao Li’s mouth. It probably couldn’t be sold.

“Master, give me this,” said the spirit beast as it reached for the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

However, the moment it touched it, the spirit beast was sent flying.

Xiao Li looked puzzled.

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to it and simply picked up the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl and examined it.

It seemed that the pearl didn’t make Xiao Li any different. It didn’t restore her strength or memory.

“Could it be that I’m using it the wrong way?” Jiang Hao muttered to himself.

But there was no method he knew of.

Should he carry it with him?

After some hesitation, he asked Xiao Li, “Can this become smaller?” “Smaller?” Xiao Li tilted her head in thought.

Then, she grabbed the still drowsy spirit beast and said, “Shrink.”

As she said those words, the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl emitted a faint blue light.

r

Two thin beams of light extended and floated in front of Xiao Li. Finally, the beams of light followed her neck, and the pearl shrank in the light.

When the light dissipated, Xiao Li had a nail-sized pearl around her neck.

Jiang Hao began to doubt everything he knew about the pearl.

Was the dragon pearl a pill of some sort?

Xiao Li, on the other hand, was very happy.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao came up with a possibility. The pearl did belong to Xiao Li, but it wasn’t inside her but was a gift from her elders.

That made more sense.

It made him even more curious about what the Heavenly Thunder was. Perhaps it was where the Dragon Clan lived.

As for Xiao Li’s appearance in the village, there were two possibilities: she had either mischievously run away or had escaped to this place.

Either way, it was a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry too much.

He should focus on getting stronger.

However, to avoid endangering Xiao Li, he specifically sensed the pearl and found that there was still a faint trace of aura. He used the Mountain Sea Seal to suppress it, and the aura dissipated.

It was not that the Mountain Sea Seal was exceptionally powerful, but the pearl was cooperating.

At that moment, the spirit beast woke up and jumped in front of Jiang Hao.

“Master, what do I get?”

‘A few tens of thousands of spirit stones.’ He didn’t say it aloud.

He would let it wait for a few days.

Now was not the time to cash in the spirit beast. He needed to first understand the situation of the sect.

The next day, Jiang Hao stood in front of the Immortal Peach Tree and appraised it.

The pearl would have to wait for another day.

[Immortal Peach Tree: Related to the ancient divine tree, the Immortal Peach Tree. It bears sweet fruits. Leaven one fruit on the tree and surround it with 29,999 spirit stones arranged in a spirit-gathering formation to trigger an incarnation. After undergoing four successful incarnations, the tree will turn into an Immortal Peach Tree. It is easier for the incarnation to succeed if it is placed near other divine items.]

“Almost thirty thousand spirit stones…” Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The increase in spirit stones was still manageable.

If he used 30,000 from the 90,000, he would still be left with 60,000.

It seemed like the rabbit would be satisfied with 40,000, leaving 20,000 spirit stones.

The rest was a bit much.

Jiang Hao left his residence and headed to the Law Enforcement Hall.

This time, he had been away for less than three months, but it still felt like a long time had passed.

There were no visible changes in the surroundings.

After a while, in the Task Hall, the senior at the counter smiled at him. “Junior Brother Jiang, you are on time as ever. When are you planning to go out again?

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It was probably impossible for him to go out.

He wouldn’t go out unless Hong Yuye came along with him.

He couldn’t intervene with Heavenly King Bu Dong.

He also needed to contact Feng Hua. Feng Hua would have considerable strength, and finding the main body would be tantamount to seeking death.

He was in no rush.

As long as Hong Yuye didn’t urge him to do it, he could take his own time.

Jiang Hao paid 1,000 spirit stones and left 1,500 to be paid over the next three months.

He had dropped to 89,000 spirit stones.

“If there are good missions, I’ll have someone notify you, Junior Brother Jiang.” The senior kindly offered as he left.

Jiang Hao could only thank her quietly.

Jiang Hao looked around but didn’t see Liu Xingchen.

He wondered what he was busy with again.

In fact, he wanted to see in what state Liu Xingchen was.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao headed for the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

However, on the way, he suddenly felt the aura of a True Dragon passing by him.

He continued for a few steps before turning back to look.

It was someone familiar.

Liu Xingchen.

However, there was something strange about his aura. The True Dragon aura had become more pronounced than before, and there were also two other slightly weaker auras.

These auras were well hidden, but Jiang Hao had been observing Liu Xingchen for a long time and was extremely sensitive to such things.

Not to mention that his perception was far sharper than others.

‘What’s going on? Not only was the aura off, but he didn’t even acknowledge me. Is this really Liu Xingchen?’ Jiang Hao wondered.

However, he had already used his appraisal ability for today.

“Senior Brother Liu!” he called out.

The person on the other side didn’t immediately stop but hesitated and turned to look at him.

“You called me?” He seemed puzzled.

Jiang Hao was surprised but maintained a smile. ‘Yes, I was wondering if you have some time, Senior Brother. I have a few questions to ask you.”

“I don’t have time at the moment,” he said.

“In that case, I apologize for disturbing you, Senior Brother,” Jiang Hao said with an embarrassed bow.

This was not Liu Xingchen.

Only after “Liu Xingchen” had left did Jiang Hao turn back.

He was not mistaken. Liu Xingchen was no longer Liu Xingchen.

‘Has he been possessed? The aura just now was that of a True Dragon. Is the True Dragon’s lingering soul now in control?’ Jiang Hao was shocked.

The last time Liu Xingchen had sowed the seeds of malice, he had given the True Dragon more power.

And now, it seemed to have overpowered Liu Xingchen.

But this True Dragon might be weaker than Xiao Li. Xiao Li didn’t emit any aura, and no one knew she was a True Dragon.

‘I wonder if Liu Xingchen is still around. I need to find an opportunity to appraise him.’

The absence of Liu Xingchen would have a significant impact on him, as no one would inform him of the matters at the Law Enforcement Hall.

Some things were no longer as convenient as before. For instance, reporting undercover agents or getting on the list, and so on.

In just three months, it seemed that there were more changes in the sect than he had anticipated..
