Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Purple Gold Legend

“What!? Did Elder Bai Zhi give me a bomb?”

Jiang Hao sat on the balcony, looking at the quail egg-sized black and white seed in his hand, utterly shocked.

Cold sweat seeped out unconsciously.

He had appraised the seed he received yesterday, and the result was:

【Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower Seed: At the beginning of chaos, a flower was born between heaven and earth. After endless years of clear separation between heaven and earth, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower bore fruit, and then the seeds fell. This is one of those seeds. Bury it in the soil, water it with a bowl of water every day, once a day, and it will take root and sprout after seven days.】

Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, Jiang Hao had seen this name, not from anywhere else.

But from an appraisal he encountered.

It was the reason why Senior Sister Yun Ruo came to the Tianyin Sect.

That means other traitors and undercover agents might have come for this as well.

“Now that the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower is in my hands, does that mean everyone will be targeting me?”

“Once it takes root and sprouts, will I have to be on guard every moment?”

“But if I don’t plant it, then… can I withstand Elder Bai Zhi’s wrath?”

At this moment, Jiang Hao felt like he was the bait being dangled for fishing.

Sigh…

Heaving a deep sigh of relief, he felt a touch of helplessness.

It was truly a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Just when he thought he had made some money and could temporarily avert danger, he was hit with a royal flush.

“The Demon Sect is really no place for humans.”

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao went to the courtyard, found a good spot, and planted the seed of the Heavenly Fragrance Flower.

He then looked at the fence nearby, thinking that he should repair it and build a stone wall around it to prevent others from seeing the Heavenly Fragrance Flower.

After planting the flower, he took out a bowl and watered it.

He didn’t care whether the bowl was big or small.

“We can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, there’s still a chance to escape by using death-replacement.”

Afterward, Jiang Hao left the courtyard and headed to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to collect today’s bubbles.

There were two blue bubbles.

【Cultivation +1】

【Vital Energy +1】

【Strength +1】

【Spirit +1】

【Endurance +1】

As time went on, Jiang Hao felt his strength indeed growing stronger.

Planting and harvesting like this every day, he had no idea how far his strength and spirit would reach.

For now, he was a bit better than his peers.

……

At noon, after taking care of some spiritual medicines in the garden, Jiang Hao went to the sect’s market to set up his stall.

This time everything went smoothly, and he sold all five Foundation Establishment-level spirit talismans.

The total price was 21 spirit stones, and he made a profit of eleven spirit stones.

Since they were all bought by the same person, he gave a discount.

“Speaking of which, how many Blazing Fire Talismans do you have left?” asked the person who bought all the talismans, a Senior Sister in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

She had a fierce look in her eyes and regular features, considered average in the Tianyin Sect.

“How many does Senior Sister need?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Fifty, within three days,” said Leng Tian earnestly.

Jiang Hao shook his head, regretfully saying, “I can’t do it.”

Not to mention his success rate wasn’t that high, even if he had one night, he could only make about ten.

Making talismans also consumes spiritual energy, especially after activating divine abilities.

“Then within three days, I’ll take as many as you can make, up to fifty. Here’s the deposit,” Leng Tian said, throwing ten spirit stones to Jiang Hao.

“I’ll do my best,” Jiang Hao nodded.

Although other talismans were more profitable, being able to sell them was another matter.

As long as he could improve his success rate later, the earnings wouldn’t be low.

As for why the other party wanted so many Blazing Fire Talismans, that wasn’t for him to ask.

……

In the following days, Jiang Hao began to focus on making talismans.

Since he had no tasks in the afternoon, he had free time.

He devoted all his time to making talismans.

He could try fifteen times a day.

On the first day, he succeeded eight times. On the second day, nine times. And on the third day, ten times.

In total, he made twenty-seven Blazing Fire Talismans.

He earned eighty-one spirit stones, with a cost of forty-five, making a profit of thirty-six.

Including all he had, he now possessed two hundred and fifty spirit stones.

In less than two weeks, he had nearly made a hundred in income, something he wouldn’t have dared to dream of before.

……

Another four days passed.

After that, the spirit talismans rarely sold out, but he still made a profit of more than ten spirit stones every day.

His savings also reached the three hundred mark, about one-third of the way there.

It had only been half a month.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to gather a thousand spirit stones.

Thinking of this, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

……

In the courtyard.

In the past few days, Jiang Hao had also replaced the wall, blocking the view.

At night, Jiang Hao was still making talismans.

But just as he was about to make the final stroke, an anomaly occurred.

A wave of invisible spiritual energy swept across, instantly burning the talisman on the spot.

This sudden change was surprising.

Especially since the source of the spiritual energy was in the courtyard.

“Seven days have passed, is the Heavenly Fragrance Flower about to sprout?”

Jiang Hao had always remembered this, but he didn’t know it would cause an anomaly.

When he went to the balcony and saw the invisible fluctuations sweeping around the courtyard like the wind, he was relieved that the effect didn’t extend beyond the courtyard.

Otherwise, it would have been life-threatening.

Many traitors were eyeing this flower.

The anomaly didn’t last long because Jiang Hao saw a small, tender sprout emerge from the soil and sway gently.

This wasn’t surprising, but what happened next was truly astonishing.

After the Heavenly Fragrance Flower sprouted, the spiritual energy fluctuations disappeared, and a purple-gold bubble appeared along with it.

This ‘bubble’ was unique to his system panel.

It was just that Jiang Hao had never encountered this color before.

Purple-gold…

What could it be?

For a moment, Jiang Hao was filled with anticipation.

Dawn was just breaking when he leaped from the balcony, approaching the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Golden-purple bubbles flew up and merged into his body.
