Chapter 407 - Gu Quanzhong's News the Spirit Concealment Bead
Time flew by, and before he knew it, the month Jiang Hao and Gu Quanzhong had agreed upon was up!
After ending the call with Gu Quanzhong, Jiang Hao sank into contemplation.
“The mission for Emperor Zhou's tomb was posted by a Ji-surnamed youth?”
In fact, during his last visit to Song Prefecture, Jiang Hao had specifically inquired about Emperor Zhou's Tomb with the Fifth Elder.
To his surprise, the Fifth Elder was clueless!
The Fifth Elder explained that while he was part of the Nether King's Hall, the organization was divided into multiple sections.
Thus, the mission concerning Emperor Zhou's tomb likely originated from another division.
Having learned about the Nether King's Hall's rigid internal structure, Jiang Hao had little expectation from Gu Quanzhong and his associates.
Yet, unexpectedly, after a month, Gu Quanzhong had indeed unearthed a sliver of information!
This caught Jiang Hao off guard.
He furrowed his brows in thought.
“Ji?”
“Could it be the reclusive Ji Family?”
“The royal surname of the Zhou Dynasty was Ji!”
“Is it possible that this Ji-surnamed youth is a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty's emperor?”
To his surprise, he stumbled upon success!
“A Rank One Spirit Concealment Bead?”
It appeared that Spirit Concealment Beads were categorized by rank.
Jiang Hao was aware that rank one was merely the most basic level.
He was uncertain whether a Rank One Spirit Concealment Bead would suffice.
According to the system, a bead of this rank could not be penetrated by anyone less than a major realm above.
And since he was unfamiliar with the hierarchy of martial cultivators, he couldn't be sure if he exceeded his parents' level by such a margin.
But that was of no consequence; he would soon find out the bead's effectiveness by having one of his parents try it.
With this plan in mind, Jiang Hao grabbed the Spirit Concealment Bead and swiftly left his bedroom.
Upon entering Jiang Zixuan's room, he found her engrossed in a book.
Despite the recent events and her rise to a higher echelon of martial cultivators, Jiang Zixuan hadn't abandoned her studies.
After a day of rigorous training, she would unwind by immersing herself in reading.
Jiang Zixuan looked up, surprised to see her brother.
“Brother, what brings you here?”
Without much preamble, Jiang Hao extended the Spirit Concealment Bead towards Zixuan.
“Zixuan, wear this.”
