Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 153

Chapter 153: The Female Demon Bathes, Should I Stay By Her Side?

After refining the jade pendant, Jiang Hao felt that if the imprint was erased, the pendant would self-destruct.

Besides confirming identity, the pendant also emitted a gentle and soothing aura.

It calmed the mind and spirit.

Seeing Jiang Hao put away the jade pendant, Fang Jin pointed to the invitation and said,

“The invitation is addressed to you and Chu Chuan. If someone impersonates you, it might not be immediately noticed. So you must be careful not to lose it.”

Jiang Hao didn’t think much of it; such an invitation would only be useful for big events like the Dao Discussion Conference.

With the jade pendant in his possession, he didn’t really need it.

The invitation was mainly for Chu Chuan.

Afterward, he also put away the Azure Red Sky, which was of better quality than the one he had purchased.

He had made over ten thousand spirit stones.

And he didn’t have to worry about Hong Yuye asking for more money.

“The items in this storage magical treasure, you should keep them safe, how you give them to Chu Chuan is up to you,” Fang Jin said.

He didn’t put any pressure or restrictions on Jiang Hao.

After a brief look at the storage bag, Jiang Hao found a cultivation method called Star Moon Qi Refinement Technique, pills for Qi Refining, simple talismans, magical treasures that could be used up to the Foundation Establishment stage, and five hundred spirit stones.

Truly… generous.

Five hundred at the Qi Refining stage’ he couldn’t even dream of amassing such a large number.

But possessing so many spirit stones at once could be a huge shock to one’s state of mind, and a slight carelessness could lead to arrogance.

Once others became aware, it could bring about a fatal disaster.

“I will give him a little at each stage.”

Jiang Hao said calmly.

Since he had received benefits from the Mingyue Sect, he would do his best to fulfill his obligations.

After getting Fang Jin’s approval, he looked through the Star Moon Qi Refinement Technique.

Although it only records up to Foundation Establishment, this is indeed a formidable Qi Refining technique.

It seems to surpass the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions.

It uses starlight as a guide to draw qi into the body.

Newcomers are best suited to cultivate at night, as the speed of cultivation will greatly increase, and the energy of the stars and moon is also more substantial.

This is suitable for the cultivation of techniques.

The Tianyin Hundred Revolutions speaks of vital energy roaring and surging within the body, providing better tempering for the physique.

Jiang Hao did not continue to ponder; he would ask the person involved when the time came.

The Tianyin Sect has no requirements for this; as long as one’s background is clear, it’s fine to cultivate the Haotian Sect’s techniques.

……

In the afternoon.

Fang Jin and the others are about to leave.

“Young Master, you must come to find Xiao Jie,” Chu Jie said with a choked voice.

Chu Chuan readily agreed.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, if you have free time, you can come to the Mingyue Sect, and let me extend my hospitality,” Fang Jin said politely to Jiang Hao.

“Definitely,” Jiang Hao replied with a cupped fist salute.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, for saving my life earlier,” Fairy Bai Qiong said with gratitude, bowing slightly.

“Fairy is joking,” Jiang Hao said with a light shake of his head.

“I offended you befoer, please, Fellow Daoist, do not take it to heart,” Fairy Lan Jin said with her head lowered, somewhat embarrassed to say such words.

“Fairy is too polite; I have not taken it to heart,” Jiang Hao replied with slight surprise but without losing his manners.

Afterward, Fang Jin and the others turned and left, flying away with the young girl.

Jiang Hao could still faintly hear some of their voices.

“Junior Sister has grown a lot from this trip.”

“I am not an ungrateful person.”

“If you learn more about how to conduct yourself, you can take other Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers out.”

Watching them leave, Jiang Hao felt somewhat envious; he never had such Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in his sect.

Even if someone was kind to him, he would suspect them of being spies or traitors.

Most of the time, the Immortal Sects are indeed better than the Demon Sects.

“Will I never see Xiao Jie again?” Chu Chuan suddenly asked.

Jiang Hao looked down at the young man beside him and asked in return.

“What do you think?”

“I must be able to, I definitely want to go,” Chu Chuan said with determination.

“Having confidence is a good thing,” Jiang Hao said, looking up at the sky.

“Some people’s ambitions are higher than the heavens, but their fate is as thin as paper. Do you think such people can achieve anything?”

“I…” Chu Chuan didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

“Remember, what you need to do now is to survive first.”

“Do I have to endure being bullied?” Chu Chuan suddenly asked.

“Ask yourself, if you think it’s necessary, then it is; if you don’t, then it isn’t. As long as you can bear the consequences,” Jiang Hao said as he walked towards the inn’s backyard.

Noticing Chu Chuan following, he continued.

“My sect is indeed not small, but to survive and become stronger within it is a very difficult thing. Your talent is not outstanding, so naturally, you will have to endure more than others.”

Jiang Hao arrived at the pavilion in the backyard and sat down while Chu Chuan stood beside him, somewhat nervous and unsure where to put his hands.

“Have you thought it through? My sect is not a pleasant place.”

This statement made Chu Chuan silent for a moment, then he nodded and said,

“I have thought it through. Even if I can’t compare to Xiao Jie, I still want to visit her sect and see if she’s doing well.”

“Good,” Jiang Hao didn’t say much else but let him choose a technique.

“You now have two techniques to choose from: one is the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions from my Tianyin Sect, and the other is the Star Moon Qi Refinement Technique from the Mingyue Sect.”

“Which one is more powerful?” Chu Chuan asked.

Jiang Hao poured himself a cup of tea and spoke calmly.

“In my opinion, the Star Moon Qi Refinement Technique is the superior one.”

“Madter, which do you think I should cultivate?” Chu Chuan tentatively asked.

“Call me Senior Brother,” correcting his form of address, Jiang Hao continued,

“The Tianyin Hundred Revolutions.”

“Why?” Chu Chuan was puzzled.

“Because I have cultivated it, and it will be convenient to guide you later,” Jiang Hao said casually.

After a long silence, Chu Chuan nodded seriously.

“Then, the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions.”

Jiang Hao looked at him deeply, feeling somewhat absurd but not sure if it was himself or the other person who was being absurd.

The future of the other person was decided so casually.

But the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions was indeed suitable.

Whether it’s good or bad can only be left to time.

Afterward, he taught Chu Chuan the static and dynamic exercises of the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions.

“Once you have entered the gate, I will give you the things from the Mingyue Sect in batches. After you join, every week I will have someone test your progress, and it will be tough. If you can’t bear it, you can choose not to have your progress tested. Or perhaps you don’t want to stay in the Tianyin Sect, you can also find me. I will have someone send you away. You have a choice before Foundation Establishment.After Foundation Establishment, I will no longer look after you, and you will not have the right to choose again. Whether it’s fortune or misfortune, it all depends on you.”

After admonishing him, Jiang Hao arranged a place for him to live and let him cultivate on his own.

He also informed Chen Quan and the others.

……

The next day.

Jiang Hao went to Hong Yuye’s room.

As soon as he entered, a stone slab was thrown at him.

Before he could carefully examine the changes in the stone slab, Hong Yuye said to him.

“Prepare some hot water for me; I’m going to take a bath.”

Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised by this request.

However, he soon found himself frozen in place.

Hong Yuye continued.

“You must not leave my room while I bathe, but if you dare to peek, you know the consequences.”

Jiang Hao was shocked as he glimpsed the silhouette of the wooden tub behind the screen, suddenly worried.

If it were any other woman bathing behind there, he wouldn’t have a ripple of interest in his heart, even without a screen.

He wouldn’t want to look even if it were offered.

But Hong Yuye was different; the Tianjue Gu poison had no effect on her.

Sigh…

He couldn’t fathom what she was thinking at all.
