Chapter 609: Chapter 609: The Four Envoys

Shi Hao took out the Spirit Exploration Compass.

Not using good things would be a tremendous waste, wouldn’t it?

"What is this?" Weng Nanqing asked curiously.

After a brief contemplation, Shi Hao replied, "The Spirit Exploration Compass can display treasures within a three-mile radius brimming with spiritual energy; however, if the treasures are self-concealing, then it’s useless."

Weng Nanqing was shocked. Were there really such incredible things?

"Your luck is truly defying the heavens to have obtained such a treasure," she remarked. Although this artifact didn’t possess any offensive or defensive capabilities, it was extremely practical.

Within a domain, although martial artists could detect almost anything, the domain still couldn’t penetrate solid objects. If a treasure were hidden within a stone, even domain-level experts would be unable to find it.

"It was a gift from my fiancée," Shi Hao said.

Look at you, showing off like that!

Weng Nanqing was also surprised because even the powerful Weng Family didn’t own such an item. So, who exactly was Shi Hao’s fiancée?

"Ah, there’s something!" Just then, Shi Hao suddenly exclaimed, drawing Weng Nanqing’s attention back.

With a swift movement, he immediately headed towards the light spot indicated on the compass.

Soon, the light spot appeared at the center of the compass, which meant that Shi Hao had arrived at the spot.

But Shi Hao found no spiritual herbs.

The Spirit Exploration Compass wouldn’t make a mistake.

Shi Hao’s gaze settled on a large stone; then, reaching out with an empty grasp, his power coalesced into an invisible hand that easily lifted and tossed the stone aside.

Beneath it was a plant with jet-black stems and sporadic leaves. Upon closer inspection, each leaf resembled a dragon.

Dragon Blood Flower!

Unfortunately, this Dragon Blood Flower had yet to bloom.

The unflowered Dragon Blood Flower could still be used in medicine, but its effects would be greatly diminished.

Shi Hao didn’t disdain it; he dug out the Dragon Blood Flower and then sent it into the Immortal Abode.

In Weng Nanqing’s view, it seemed he had simply placed the Dragon Blood Flower into a spatial spirit tool.

It was somewhat regrettable. If it could have grown for a few more decades, this spiritual medicine would probably have bloomed.

However, Golden Dragon Island would disappear for at least a few hundred years before re-emerging, so not harvesting it now would also be wasteful.

Shi Hao, on the other hand, had other ideas. He wanted to continue cultivating the Dragon Blood Flower within the Immortal Abode. Perhaps it could survive, and maybe the astonishing energy inside the Immortal Abode would make the Dragon Blood Flower grow even better and faster.

Of course, he definitely couldn’t enter the Immortal Abode right now.

The two continued searching.

Because Weng Nanqing already knew she could come and go freely here, Shi Hao boldly utilized his ability, rapidly moving across the island and looking for more Dragon Blood Flowers.

Many people had already arrived on the island, but no one could maintain high-speed movement. The island, with at least two hundred miles in depth, became immensely vast. Combined with the defiant effect of the Spirit Exploration Compass, the total gains of everyone else might not match up to Shi Hao alone.

After two days, he had gathered seventy-two Dragon Blood Flowers, forty-one of which had already bloomed, much to his satisfaction.

However, since Weng Nanqing was traveling with him, he ought to share ten with her, right?

Hmm, five would be enough. She’s a valued lady of the Weng Family, with plenty of spiritual medicines at her disposal, unlike him, who had to rely on himself for everything. Even the landlord’s house had no surplus grain.

Another discovery!

Shi Hao looked at the Spirit Exploration Compass and immediately changed direction.

Weng Nanqing followed him, no longer having any doubts about the artifact.

Indeed, the two quickly found another Dragon Blood Flower, and this one had even bloomed with a flower the size of a palm.

Shi Hao displayed a look of pleasant surprise; the Dragon Blood Flower before him was of a far greater age than any he had encountered before, its value perhaps even amounting to one-third of his overall harvest.

With medicinal herbs, the age was of paramount importance—one specimen could be worth ten, or even a hundred of the same kind was not uncommon.

Just as Shi Hao was about to reach out and pick the flower, whoosh, a streak of sword light slashed towards him, landing in front of Shi Hao and forcibly blocking his advance.

Hm?

Shi Hao looked towards the direction of the movement and saw a group of four people approaching slowly.

He recognized one of them, Cui Yonglin.

"Shi Hao, I didn’t expect to see you again!" Cui Yonglin said through gritted teeth. Being defeated by Shi Hao was a tremendous disgrace for him as the Ninth King.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "The four lapdogs under Shi Zhong’s command?"

"How dare you!" a young man in brocade clothes shouted, "We are the four envoys under the Young Emperor, representing the Young Master in roaming the world!"

Shi Hao shook his head, "Didn’t Shi Zhong come himself?"

"The Young Emperor naturally disdains such places!" Cui Yonglin said proudly, "His unmatched presence in the world, the so-called Dragon Clan inheritance, doesn’t even catch his eye. Thus, it’s more than enough for us, the four envoys, to take this trip on the Young Emperor’s behalf."

"So, you want to take this Dragon Blood Flower from me?" Shi Hao said indifferently.

"Heh, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures belong to those who have the strength to claim them," the brocaded youth interjected. "You are but a minor Self Observation, what right do you have to contend with us?"

"Who are you?" Shi Hao asked.

"My name is Shi Han, from the Supplementing Divine Temple," the proud brocaded youth declared.

"Liu Jiao, Supplementing Divine Temple," another youth in red said.

"Deng Qixing, also from the Supplementing Divine Temple," the last youth also declared his name.

Of the four envoys, three were from the Supplementing Divine Temple, and only one from the Founding King Court, showing the monstrous talent of Shi Zhong, to have such geniuses willing to serve him.

Shi Hao smiled slightly and curled his finger in a summoning gesture, saying, "Come on then!"

"I truly don’t know where you get your confidence from," Shi Han sneered, before leaping towards Shi Hao to attack.

What if you are a prodigy? In the end, you’re merely at the level of Self Observation. Defeating the Ninth King must be the peak of your accomplishments, but facing one from the Supplementing Divine Temple, even without having sparked the Incense Flame, you were still destined to crawl at our feet.

With a boom, he struck out with his palm, aiming at Shi Hao with the force of thunder and the weight of mountains.

——Knowing that Shi Hao didn’t follow Shi Zhong’s order and even insulted the envoy Cui Yonglin heavily, the three of them felt empathetically humiliated and vowed to pulverize Shi Hao into dust.

Can you block it?

Seeing this, Cui Yonglin and the other two revealed cold smirks, certain that this strike would surely be the end of Shi Hao.

Bang!

Just then, a delicate white hand shot out, and then... Shi Han was sent flying back.

Spurting blood, Shi Han wore a look of shock on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.

He was actually repelled, and even injured?

Weng Nanqing slowly withdrew her slender hand, her stunningly beautiful face filled with murderous intent.

To think they wanted to kill Shi Hao?

Hmph, this ignited a towering killing intent in her.

"A Supplementing Divine Temple with lit Incense Flame!" Shi Han and the others stared at Weng Nanqing, utterly incredulous.

Although three of the four envoys were from the Supplementing Divine Temple, none had ignited their Incense Flames, and there was a complete disparity between a Supplementing Divine Temple with and without this achievement!

No matter how talented they were, wasn’t Weng Nanqing a top-notch prodigy herself?
