Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Waking Up to a Female Demon

Demon Sect, Tianyin Sect.

Beneath the Duanqing Cliff.

A river flows gently through the mountains and forests, its surface clear and calm, shimmering in the sunlight.

Bang!

A dull sound emanates from a small wooden cabin.

The two-story cabin is surrounded by a fence.

Various spiritual herbs grow within the fence, their faint medicinal fragrance wafting through the air.

On the second floor.

Jiang Hao is thrown to one side, crashing against the wall. A beautiful woman clad in thin gauze instantly appears beside him, her long sword pressed against his neck. The blade breaks the skin, and crimson blood slowly seeps out.

At this moment, Jiang Hao feels that death is but a step away.

It’s an unwarranted disaster.

Last night, after he finished pruning the spiritual herbs and was about to cultivate, a woman with a flushed face and chaotic vital energy suddenly fell from the sky.

Her figure was graceful, her beauty unparalleled, but her consciousness seemed quite unclear.

She must have been poisoned or suffered from cultivation deviation.

He had no intention of helping, but her cultivation was unfathomably deep. She forcibly controlled him and brought him to the second floor, where she committed a violent act.

It was his first experience of such a thing. The sensation wasn’t bad, but it was a shame he was in a passive state.

Her beauty was flawless, almost perfect. If only she hadn’t woken up with murderous intent in her eyes, she would have been even more perfect.

Early in the morning, as she regained her senses, she drew her sword against him.

And so, the current situation unfolded.

Now, Jiang Hao could see shame in her cold eyes, presumably recalling last night’s events.

She seemed to hesitate about whether to kill him.

“Senior, perhaps there’s some misunderstanding between us,” Jiang Hao felt he had to say something, although he wasn’t sure what the misunderstanding could be.

“Are you a disciple of the Tianyin Sect?” the woman asked coldly.

With the sword at his throat, Jiang Hao could only respond hoarsely.

“Yes.”

“Swallow this.”

The woman handed him a pill, her expression emotionless.

“What is this?” Jiang Hao asked instinctively.

Bang!

A long leg kicks into Jiang Hao’s stomach, the pain causing his mouth to open wide, and the pill enters his mouth as a result.

Seeing this, the woman picks up her fallen clothes, a pink mist envelops her body, and she disappears through the window.

“Sigh…”

Once sure she had left, Jiang Hao let out a deep sigh of relief, touched his neck to see the wound had scabbed over, and then began to think.

“Her arrival must have been an accident, but the murderous intent was real. I almost used my only chance to escape death. That woman is terrifyingly strong.”

He steps out onto the balcony, looking around with lingering fear.

Although the woman was stunningly beautiful and they had shared an intimate moment, cooked rice doesn’t always work in the world of cultivation.

Especially not in the Demon Sect.

A slight misstep could lead to a deadly encounter due to ignorance.

“The world in times of peace was somewhat better,” Jiang Hao shakes his head and sighs.

He has been in this world for a total of nineteen years.

From his birth to being thrown out of his home, then being secretly sold to the Demon Sect by his stepmother, his early years were full of hardships. If not for his physique suitable for cultivation and encountering a recruitment by the Demon Sect, he might have been sacrificed and become a lost soul.

If he could choose, he would prefer to join a righteous sect.

For instance, the Haotian Sect, known as the strongest immortal gate.

Unfortunately, he did not have such luck and could only struggle to survive in the Demon Sect.

Fortunately, after starting cultivation, some changes occurred in his body.

He gained something extra.

Jiang Hao concentrates and sees a panel that others cannot see.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 19】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining Level Nine】

【Cultivation Technique: Tianyin Hundred Revolutions】

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (Unique), Daily Appraisal (Locked)】

【Vital Energy: 100/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 100/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be acquired)】

Seeing this, he breathes a sigh of relief. Vital energy, cultivation, and divine abilities are accumulated over time.

Planting spiritual herbs, clearing out demonic beasts, and wandering around can all lead to finding bubbles that yield these resources.

Not just vital energy and cultivation, but also some magical treasures and cultivation aids.

However, it’s not easy to accumulate vital energy and cultivation to one hundred. It took him years to save up to one hundred for the second time.

The first time made his body tougher and his cultivation rose from Qi Refining Level Three to Qi Refining Level Eight.

Fortunately, he could digest it bit by bit; otherwise, it would be too conspicuous.

Because of this, he went from being an outer disciple to an inner disciple.

At the Duanqing Cliff, he guards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

It’s much more convenient to move around the sect here. In this place, it’s better to increase your cultivation quickly rather than pretending to be average.

In the Demon Sect, a slight carelessness could lead to being killed by fellow disciples for some trivial reason.

Or even losing one’s innocence.

Last night was the most powerful proof of that.

Divine abilities are different from vital energy and cultivation. Vital energy and cultivation can be cultivated once they reach ten, but divine abilities require three fragments to obtain one complete ability.

So far, he has only obtained one divine ability, Daily Appraisal.

Nine Revolutions Death Replacement is an innate divine ability.

For a moment… He returned to his room and stared at the deep red stains on the bedsheet, sighing heavily before deciding to change the bedding. Perhaps his narrow escape had something to do with these bloodstains.

“I don’t know who she is, I just hope she’s not from the Tianyin Sect.”

“Otherwise, if she’s too angry to let it go and decides to kill me, that would be bad.”

Being toyed with and then killed, the one at a loss would ultimately be himself.

He felt ashamed for not being able to protect himself.

After tidying up the bedding, Jiang Hao left his residence to tend to the Duanqing Grass in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Tonight, he would return to attempt the Foundation Establishment. His qi and blood cultivation had reached one hundred, which was not quite the same as the tenfold conversion rate.

“I also need to find time to visit the library and see what kind of medicine that woman fed me.”

On the way, Jiang Hao pondered his next steps.

“The appearance of this woman is unusual. I need to be more vigilant for now.”

The Tianyin Sect is a first-rate sect. The likelihood of it being taken down by a righteous sect is low, but one can never be too cautious.
