Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Moving to Your Place Tonight

“Actually, I tried to probe Master, but Master didn’t say anything,” Mu Qi said softly, looking at Jiang Hao in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“After some events, Master seems to want to take Junior Brother Jiang as a true disciple. Unfortunately, the Enforcement Peak has always been blocking it. Now, wanting to help is a bit troublesome, it seems like people from other places just want to push someone out to exchange for more resources. And some people from the Xuantian Sect are willing to spend money to save face. It’s like they’ve vented their anger.”

“Anyway, both sides seem to have tacitly agreed, and we’ll have to see how they negotiate in five days.”

“What will happen to Junior Brother Jiang?” Miao Tinglian curiously asked.

Mu Qi pondered for a moment and said,

“It depends on whether he will be taken away. If he is taken away, it depends on how the Xuantian Sect deals with him. If he’s not taken away, there’s a high probability he’ll end up in the Lawless Tower, which might be even worse than being taken away.”

Miao Tinglian was somewhat astonished; she had naturally heard of the Lawless Tower and couldn’t help but feel it was cruel.

“Indeed, it’s ruthless.”

“By the way, didn’t you say that the people who had a grudge with Jiang Junior Brother are all dead? Will someone from the Xuantian Sect die this time?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qi glanced at the woman beside him and said:

“Can it be the same?”

The two fell silent for a moment and then walked away.

On the way, Miao Tinglian suddenly asked:

“Does your Master know about our relationship?”

“What are you trying to do?” Mu Qi asked back.

“If he knows, I’ll move to your place tonight. As long as I don’t cause trouble for a year, I won’t drag you down,” Miao Tinglian said straightforwardly.

Seeing that Mu Qi didn’t agree immediately, she became annoyed.

“Mu Qi, what do you mean? You followed me secretly in the past, and now that I’ve come to you, you’re starting to despise me? Haven’t you fallen for one of your Junior Sisters?”

Mu Qi sighed.

“If we do this, we can easily be used by those with ulterior motives.”

Miao Tinglian’s tone softened.

“Just let me move in with you, and I’ll keep a low profile and won’t cause you any trouble.”

Mu Qi sighed again and could only nod.

“You said it, don’t go back on your word.”

Jiang Hao, who had just come out of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, happened to see Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian leaving.

He felt somewhat emotional.

Ever since Senior Sister Miao arrived, Senior Brother Mu Qi has changed.

He’s no longer so unapproachable; his heart seems to have softened.

Beauty is indeed a terrifying thing. You must know that once Miao Tinglian is an undercover agent, that’s a fatal blow—especially since Mu Qi possesses a powerful inheritance.

As long as he develops steadily, his future is boundless. But with Miao Tinglian in the picture, it’s very dangerous.

With attachments come concerns, which can influence decisions in many matters.

However, Miao Tinglian did come for Mu Qi, and she has sacrificed a lot.

Even so, Jiang Hao still feels that being in the Demon Sect is too dangerous.

Once you get involved in other people’s interests, no matter how much you try to avoid it, you can’t help but get dragged in.

But in these days, Senior Brother Mu Qi and Senior Sister Miao have been quite good to him. Probably because he brought them in.

Afterwards, he returned to his dwelling.

He came to the talisman crafting table again. He had tried eating elixirs first and then using divine powers to recreate them.

Later, he found that these were not enough.

The only thing that was enough was to consume the elixir and then release Hidden Spirit Manifestation.

When the power of Hidden Spirit Manifestation is exhausted, it will use his own power.

Then, at that moment, the elixir starts to replenish spiritual energy. Only in this way can a process be maintained.

Now, he needed to stabilize these powers to prevent fluctuations that could cause ripples and force the talisman crafting to fail.

With only five days left, failure meant no more chances. And he had only three beast skin talismans left.

At night, Jiang Hao stood in front of the table. After swallowing an elixir, he activated the divine power Clear Heart and Pure Mind.

With the pen in hand, Hidden Spirit Manifestation was also initiated.

Only then did he begin crafting the talisman. Each stroke was infused with spiritual energy, each one slow.

His movements were steady and forceful, the spiritual energy continuous and undisturbed, without a ripple.

The divine light was restrained.

After a long time, when Hidden Spirit Manifestation was exhausted and his own spiritual energy continued, supplemented by the elixir.

By dawn, Jiang Hao’s forehead was covered in sweat.

His spiritual energy was almost completely depleted, but just before it ran out, the final stroke was made.

However… The moment the pen fell, a fire ignited, and the talisman was destroyed.

“Failed?”

Jiang Hao was somewhat bewildered. There were no accidents this time, everything went normally, so why did it fail? After a day of thought, he remembered that he had received the inheritance at noon.

“Does it have to do with the time?”

(TLN: Dip a brush in water at noon when the mind is clear, and begin to trace the upper half of the talisman to receive the inheritance and comprehend the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.)

……

After resting, Jiang Hao continued crafting the talisman at noon the next day.

There were only two days left. Two more chances.

Meanwhile, he had been placed under house arrest, temporarily unable to leave, waiting to be summoned in two days.

Tianyin Sect also wanted the transaction to go smoothly.

After all, they were not dealing with Tianqing Mountain, but with Xuantian Sect, Fenglei Sect, and Luoxia Sect, each stronger than Tianqing Mountain.

If the transaction failed and it led to the three sects attacking, it would be bad for everyone.

They didn’t want to fight, and neither did Tianyin Sect.

If they could use a Foundation Establishment disciple to facilitate a harmonious transaction, why wouldn’t a Demon Sect agree?

Jiang Hao also understood this, blaming only his own weakness and bad luck.

“If I can escape, I’ll go work in a mine somewhere.”

He muttered to himself, standing at the table.

At noon, he repeated his previous actions.

He took the elixir, activated Hidden Spirit Manifestation and Clear Heart and Pure Mind, and then began to write.

At that moment, he felt an inexplicable sensation, his body burning hot and his mind clear, as if a light connected to the talisman pen.

He felt an inexplicable joy, the pen moved with his body, his body with his heart, and his heart with his will.

Under the talisman pen, divine light flashed, each stroke creating wind.

Finally, the divine light was restrained, and the spiritual energy was harmonious.

This time it lasted only an hour.

Jiang Hao made the final stroke.

At that instant, his mental energy was crazily absorbed, pain spreading throughout his body and vital energy being continuously extracted.

His consciousness even began to fade, and if he hadn’t endured, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, this state didn’t last too long.

When everything ended, the talisman flashed once and then settled down.

At that moment, Jiang Hao sat down on the side, drenched in sweat.

He held his head and muttered to himself,

“Could the impact be this huge? It seems I can’t continue drawing anymore.”

He felt his spirit withering, the side effects were outrageously severe.

A single Teleportation Talisman that could move one across a thousand li was terrifyingly powerful.

After resting for quite a while, he finally picked up the charm to initiate the appraisal.

To ensure its usage and whether it could be used.

【Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman: Inferior quality, disregards all spells and barriers, randomly teleports the user to any location between seven hundred and a thousand li away, can be activated directly with fresh blood or spiritual energy, cannot be interrupted.】

“It can actually disregard barriers?”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised; this was quite impressive.

This charm must be worth more than two thousand spirit stones, right?

But since it only covers seven hundred li, there might be a discount on the price.

However, for a Golden Core practitioner, seven hundred li is still considered far.

If one needs to escape, it could be very useful.

As long as one isn’t caught immediately, one could conceal their presence and start fleeing.

But he had to be fully prepared.
