Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: The Young Master and the Maid

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but laugh silently as he read the note.

It was the first time he had seized such a storage treasure.

But there was more written on the note than just that one sentence.

【I have reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage and have been saving spirit stones to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I’ve saved for sixty-eight years, and have amassed a total of thirty-nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight spirit stones. In addition, there are various talismans, magical treasures, and medicinal pills. As well as the formations used for secluded cultivation. These are the savings of my entire life, but alas, I am dead. I’m telling you this just so you know what you’ve missed out on—tens of thousands of spirit stones within easy reach. Though I am dead, you will remember my name, Daoist Dong Huo.】

Reading these words, Jiang Hao felt a bit indignant, but eventually, he let out a long sigh.

“Daoist Dong Huo, huh? I’ll remember that.”

He truly hadn’t expected that there were such a strange cultivator in this world.

It felt like a pity even to kill him.

But he hoped not to encounter such people again.

It was quite infuriating.

If what the other party said was true, he had missed the chance to become rich overnight.

Forty thousand spirit stones.

Forty thousand…

For a moment, Jiang Hao looked at the over ten thousand spirit stones in his storage treasure and didn’t feel as joyful as before.

It must be said, this Daoist Dong Huo really knew how to play with people’s feelings.

In the end, Jiang Hao put away the note, thinking he might place it in someone else’s storage treasure next time to let others experience this kind of thoughtful reminder.

After carefully counting his current spirit stones, Jiang Hao realized he was still quite wealthy.

He had a total of twelve thousand two hundred and sixty-three spirit stones.

This time was different from the last; there was no need to purchase Azure Red Sky.

After deducting three thousand for the Enforcement Peak and another three thousand for buying magical treasures, he still had over six thousand left.

“It’s time to tie up and hang the rabbit.”

“However, what I got was just a golden bubble, which is a bit disappointing. I wonder how long it will take to fill up two.”

Not to mention whether the rabbit could awaken its potential again, even if it could, it would require a large number of spirit stones.

The spirit stones were still not quite enough.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao began to check his own condition.

Today, after killing Zuo Lan, his condition was not good.

“Stacking Hidden Spirit Manifestation is powerful, but it’s not without side effects; it can easily lead to exhaustion. I should have taken medicinal pills in advance to be prepared for emergencies.”

“Half-Moon is cracked again, but as a Foundation Establishment level treasure, it actually limits the power of Heavenly Saber Seven Forms. If I had used the verses of Primordial Heavenly Saber, perhaps today would have been a bit easier.”

“Although Zuo Lan had the power of a Nascent Soul, he was not a true Nascent Soul after all. A real Nascent Soul would probably be much stronger than him. I can’t get cocky next time I encounter one.”

Jiang Hao analyzed the situation, reminding himself not to naively think he could go head-to-head with a real Nascent Soul just because he managed to handle Zuo Lan this time.

Harboring such thoughts could lead to danger in the future.

He needed to nip such possibilities in the bud.

After meditating for a moment to regulate his breath, Jiang Hao confirmed there were no hidden injuries in his body.

After tonight’s meditation, he would be able to fully recover his strength.

However, he needed to reconsolidate the Hidden Spirit Manifestation and also re-record the attacks on his wrist.

He just needed to decide which two techniques to choose.

Moon Slash, Mountain Suppressor, Meteor.

Each had its strengths.

Moon Slash was fierce in attack, Mountain Suppressor was overwhelming in its might, and Meteor was known for its speed.

Mountain Suppressor was a must-have for its imposing power.

Moon Slash and Meteor…

After hesitating, Jiang Hao chose Moon Slash.

Meteor was more demanding, and if he was seriously injured at the time, he might not be able to unleash its true power.

But Moon Slash was different.

It could be released directly.

Having made his choices, Jiang Hao began to cultivate.

In the early morning, Jiang Hao activated the Hidden Spirit technique, allowing his fully recovered strength to converge at his brow.

He then continued to restore his power.

……

By noon.

Jiang Hao began to record Moon Slash and Mountain Suppressor.

After completing these tasks, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he had returned to his peak condition.

He just needed a new saber.

“It’s a pity that the market only opens once a month, which is a bit inconvenient.”

Jiang Hao didn’t force it; for now, he would make do with an ordinary saber.

The green bubble would occasionally have sabers.

Although he had wasted quite a few the previous night, there should still be some left.

Enough for the time being.

But to unleash sufficient power, he still needed a good one.

By the window, Jiang Hao looked down at the bustling crowd below.

While brewing a pot of tea for himself, Jiang Hao chose Snow After Spring.

Although his condition had recovered, drinking some spiritual tea would make him feel even better.

Of course, part of the reason was that he had twelve thousand spirit stones on him.

With money, one tends to see things more openly.

For example, he didn’t mind drinking tea that cost fifty-five spirit stones per pot.

Afterwards, he began to ponder his next steps.

With Zuo Lan dead, finding the other stone tablets would likely be very difficult unless there was a substantial breakthrough with the three-in-one stone tablet.

They would have no choice but to search the nearby cities one by one.

“There’s only two and a half months left, I wonder if there will be any progress,” he thought.

“Zuo Yutian should also be considered a breakthrough point, I need to find a way to investigate.”

In theory, these were matters that Hong Yuye should be concerned with, but Jiang Hao was pressed for time.

He had to return within three months.

After much thought and still unsure where the breakthrough might be, Jiang Hao stood up and left the room, planning to stroll around.

As soon as he went downstairs, he heard a little girl shouting loudly, “No, you can’t send the young master away. Wherever the young master goes, Xiao Jie will follow.”

Curious, Jiang Hao saw Fang Jin and others in the hall looking troubled.

In front of them was a frail little girl, clinging to an equally frail little boy, refusing to let go.

The boy seemed to be around eleven or twelve, and the girl about ten years old.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Hao noticed the girl’s eyes were lively; even though she was thin and dark-skinned, her vivacity could not be hidden.

Without needing a jade slip to test her, he could tell that the girl had exceptional talent.

No wonder she was designated by the Mingyue Sect.

Then Jiang Hao turned his attention to the boy, who had a look of unwillingness mixed with indecision in his eyes as if he was making some sort of decision.

Observing him closely, Jiang Hao felt there was something odd about him. It seemed like all his auras were weak.

“Is he unwell?” Jiang Hao wondered curiously.

At that moment, Bai Qiong noticed him.

“Daoist Jiang.”

Fang Jin also turned to look at Jiang Hao coming down, saying somewhat bitterly.

“You’ve caught us in an embarrassing situation.”

Fairy Lan Jin kept her head down, not daring to speak.

She had learned her lesson.

Fortunately, she didn’t have a bad temper, otherwise even her Senior Brother and Senior Sister wouldn’t be able to protect her.

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Hao shook his head and said to the little girl in front of him.

“Is she your Junior Sister? She seems unwilling to leave with you.”

“Indeed, we’re at a loss at the moment and can only wait for our uncle master to arrive,” Fang Jin explained the situation regarding the girl in front of him.

The girl’s name was Chu Jie, formerly a maid of the Chu family.

However, the Chu family had fallen into decline, leaving only the young master Chu Chuan, and the two had been relying on each other for three years.

Despite the hardships, Chu Jie still played the role of a maid, taking care of the young master.

She was single-minded, knowing only that she was a maid and must stay by the young master’s side.

The young master couldn’t do without her.
