Chapter 409 - The Second Grade Spirit Concealment Bead to Find a Bodyguard
Jiang Hao was gone!
Watching Jiang Hao's indifferent demeanor, Jiang Zixuan felt her world was thrown into disarray.
To think such a precious treasure could be treated like a mere toy in her brother's hands, effortlessly crafted at will!
If other martial cultivators were to learn of this, they'd surely clamor to apprentice under him!
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao was back at it, embarking on a new round of experiments.
He dismantled his mother's pearl necklace and set out on his ambitious project of creation.
After numerous trials and errors, he had exhausted all the pearls from the necklace.
Yet, in his possession were now ten first-grade Spirit Concealment Beads!
With no more materials left, Jiang Hao resolved to go out and purchase some pearls. He was also curious to see if the grade of the Spirit Concealment Beads was influenced by the quality of the pearls used.
Could superior pearls yield a second-grade Spirit Concealment Bead, perhaps?
……
Three hours later, Jiang Hao was staring at his collection of pearls, his face etched with frustration.
His tests had shown that the quality of the pearls seemed to have no bearing on the grade of the Spirit Concealment Beads.
Despite paying top dollar for numerous high-grade pearls, all the Spirit Concealment Beads he crafted were still only first grade.
Jiang Hao surmised that perhaps the system's level was capping the grade of the Spirit Concealment Beads he could produce.
After all, even the brush and ink he made were of the first grade.
Left with no alternative, Jiang Hao reluctantly abandoned this approach.
He then crafted various accessories from the Spirit Concealment Beads and distributed them to the martial cultivators aligned with him, advising them to keep the beads on their person at all times.
With the Spirit Concealment Beads distributed, Jiang Hao could breathe a temporary sigh of relief.
……
Time marched on, and the start of the university term was fast approaching.
Though all seemed tranquil, Jiang Hao remained vigilant.
Soon, he would be heading to Jiangbei for his studies, and once he was gone, the Jiang Family's safety would be at stake.
Though Tianhee City wasn't far from Jiangbei City, the distance weighed on him; being away from his family meant his mind was never completely at ease.
Jiang Hao made the decision to utilize the Human Pills he had extracted from the elders of the Nether King's Hall.
With the resurgence of spiritual energy just beginning, martial cultivators were not only scarce but also not very advanced in their levels.
Chen Qi and his group, however, had the advantage of the Nether King's Hall's support, granting them access to cultivation resources beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This support was precisely why they had managed to achieve strength well beyond that of most martial cultivators during this period of spiritual awakening.
There were likely few within the Nether King's Hall who boasted such formidable power!
A Tier 5 martial cultivator, at this point, would be considered among the elite of all martial cultivators.
Such strength was more than sufficient to fend off the majority of unforeseen dangers.
Yet, the challenge of ensuring the loyalty of the martial cultivators he trained loomed large.
Jiang Hao had no intention of his hard-earned martial cultivator assistants turning against him.
While they might not cause major upheaval, the hassle was undeniable!
If only the system could bind a “little brother” and reveal their level of loyalty, that would be ideal.
Or perhaps there existed a special potion to secure their allegiance.
When it came to checking this “little brother's” loyalty, the System lacked such a feature, and besides, Jiang Hao didn't have a “little brother” to begin with.
The time it would take to cultivate such a follower was uncertain, and human nature was notoriously unpredictable.
To cultivate a handful of devoted followers in this world, Jiang Hao would need to leverage the system's decomposition and synthesis capabilities.
However, whether through decomposition or synthesis, acquiring abilities related to loyalty meant he had to seek out items associated with loyalty.
