Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The Female Demon Reappears

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao fell silent.

If he had known Yun Ruo Senior Sister had such a use…

At that time, he might have hesitated not to kill her, but it would have just been hesitation.

Letting her go would mean his own death another day.

So he felt a sense of loss, but no regret.

“You might not believe it if I say it.”

Liu Xingchen allowed Jiang Hao to ponder for a moment before continuing.

“The demand for a thousand spirit stones is not targeting you. On the contrary, it is to restrain the person from Tianhuan Pavilion.”

“As long as you compensate normally, he won’t be able to do anything to you in the short term.”

“Be careful, demonstrate your value as soon as possible, and Duanqing Cliff will somewhat ensure your safety.”

“And not letting you go out is not only because you are under suspicion, but also because some people from Yun Ruo’s sect are infatuated with her.”

“Their status is not low, and it is said that if Yun Ruo did not have a special use, she would have already been taken back by that person.”

“Now that she’s dead, you’ve caught the attention of some people in the Luoxia Sect.”

“To put it carefully, Junior Brother’s situation is quite worrying.”

Jiang Hao: “…”

To have contributed to the sect without reward is one thing, but to have to compensate and still be told it’s for my own good is another.

Especially when I can’t even refute it.

In the Demon Sect, it really isn’t difficult for a Pavilion Master to target an inner disciple.

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for informing me,” Jiang Hao said gratefully.

“Then, Junior Brother, be careful. If you have any information about other traitors, you can let me know,” Liu Xingchen waved his hand and left directly.

With no one else in the courtyard, Jiang Hao glanced at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

He understood that this Senior Brother had come with a purpose.

Otherwise, why would he kindly come to explain?

And even make me go from resenting the Hall of Enforcement to feeling grateful.

“Did he not recognize it, or is he waiting for an opportunity?” Jiang Hao wondered.

Afterward, he continued to collect air bubbles to sell talismans.

But from that day on, Duanqing Cliff’s Spiritual Medicine Garden seemed to have more people than before.

There were managing elders and other inner disciples.

At first, Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention until a Senior Sister kept asking him about spiritual medicine, and he knew she was definitely not a simple character.

……

Sure enough, a week later this Senior Sister came to his residence, saying she had obtained a powerful spiritual medicine and wanted him to take a look.

“Junior Brother doesn’t have guests, right? Otherwise, I’ll leave first,” Fairy Ming Yi peeked into the courtyard.

“No, but Senior Sister really overestimates me. I don’t know much about spiritual medicine,” Jiang Hao spoke the truth.

Lately, he had been focusing on talisman-making, and his knowledge of spiritual medicine had not advanced for a long time.

Fortunately, his progress in talisman-making was not slow, having achieved a 90% success rate, and he could start working on other more challenging talismans.

In one week, he had earned a hundred and fifty spirit stones.

Now he had four hundred and fifty spirit stones.

He was halfway to the compensation amount, and there were just over two months left.

This Senior Sister from Yanyun Peak had been in seclusion for many years and had just come out, not knowing many people.

That’s why she came to inquire.

Jiang Hao didn’t believe a word she said, so he activated his divine ability immediately.

In the blink of an eye, he received feedback.

【Ming Yi: A reserve Saintess of the Tiansheng Sect, early Golden Core cultivation, undercover in Tianyin Sect’s Yanyun Peak, seeking to uncover the reason behind Tianyin Sect’s rise. Per instructions, the item is in your courtyard, thus taking the opportunity to pry a little; she has a ruthless character, hiding a knife behind her smile.】

Seeing her cultivation level, Jiang Hao had to lower his head.

These undercover agents were all Golden Core cultivators.

Either true disciples or Saintesses.

However, Jiang Hao was quite surprised by one thing—the reason for Tianyin Sect’s rise was in his courtyard.

Was it the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?

Wasn’t that something belonging to the Sect Master? How could it be the key to the sect’s rise?

Jiang Hao was baffled.

He thought about going through the sect’s archives.

But such an important item being entrusted to him for cultivation clearly indicated a trap.

His situation was indeed precarious.

Fairy Ming Yi did not stay long; she just went in to take a casual look and then handed the spiritual medicine to Jiang Hao for inspection.

It was indeed an extraordinary spiritual medicine, but Jiang Hao did not recognize it.

She was not disappointed, thanked him, and left politely.

Sighing, Jiang Hao continued his usual daily routine.

……

A little over a month later.

Inside the room.

Jiang Hao counted his spirit stones with a face full of joy.

“Nine hundred and twenty-six, almost there. In a few more days, I’ll be able to gather a thousand spirit stones.”

He had been making talismans to earn money for over a month.

He wanted to craft higher-level talismans, but the success rate was too low, so he could only make them occasionally.

However, he planned to continue making them in the future. Having more spirit stones couldn’t be wrong.

After all, there were plenty of undercover agents, and even if he had to compensate for killing one, he didn’t need to worry too much.

Casting these thoughts aside, Jiang Hao checked his status panel again.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 19】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment early stage】

【Cultivation Techniques: Tianyin Hundred Revolutions, Primordial Heart Sutra】

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (Unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear Heart and Pure Mind】

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

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

【Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be acquired)】

The Purple Gold Legend panel was gone, and he had acquired the Primordial Heart Sutra.

The most eye-catching thing was that both his vital energy and cultivation were full, all thanks to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and the season of ripe spiritual herbs, which also provided plenty of bubbles.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. With the concealment of Primordial Purple Qi, he was no longer worried about advancing too quickly.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hao began to extract vital energy and cultivation, and then he circulated the Primordial Heart Sutra.

In theory, he could break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment in one go.

At that moment, his vital energy surged, and spiritual energy flowed.

Purple Qi circulated inside his body, beginning to absorb and refine the spiritual energy and vital energy.

The Purple Qi started to expand.

Then it moved towards his dantian.

Jiang Hao’s cultivation level visibly advanced at a rapid pace.

Boom!

The bottleneck between the early and mid-stage of Foundation Establishment was crushed by the Purple Qi, and he successfully stepped into the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

“Success.”

The feeling of becoming stronger made Jiang Hao feel grounded.

After calming his emotions, he looked outside and saw that it was getting late, so he decided to water the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his pupils shrank.

A woman was standing there.

She was dressed in red, with the sunlight shining on her, revealing her profile, which was stunningly beautiful.

“It’s her.”
