Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: This Becomes the Female Demon’s Again

【Peach Tree Seed: A peach tree seed imbued with spiritual energy, birthed from the core of a fruit of the ancient divine Peach Tree, possessing a trace of the divine tree’s characteristics. After rooting, sprouting, flowering, fruiting, and undergoing nirvana eight times, it will become a divine peach tree. Water it with clean water every day, and it will root and sprout in eight days.】

“Just a peach tree seed imbued with spiritual energy?”

Looking at the appraisal result, Jiang Hao felt it was somewhat ordinary.

However, the nine rebirths had changed to eight, and instead of sprouting after nine days, it would now be eight days.

“Will it be able to sprout the very next day on the final attempt?”

Jiang Hao was somewhat looking forward to it.

At this moment, the dead wood crumbled and fell, but Jiang Hao did not clean up these remnants.

Instead, he mixed them into the soil to serve as fertilizer.

After planting the seed, two blue bubbles appeared around it.

【Cultivation+1】

【Vital Energy+1】

…

“What does this mean?” Jiang Hao was somewhat astonished.

Does rebirth just give blue bubbles?

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao somewhat understood that this rebirth did not directly result in improvement but turned into a seed instead.

And when the seed took root and sprouted, corresponding bubbles would appear.

The last time it was purple, so this time it should at least be purple as well.

Thus, mere rebirth couldn’t compare with unlocking a hidden bloodline like the rabbit did.

One benefits the next generation, while the other benefits oneself.

That’s probably why.

As for whether that’s the case or not, Jiang Hao didn’t know, and no one had informed him of the Central Plains principles.

He just went with it.

……

Eight days later.

Jiang Hao came to the yard and saw the peach tree had taken root and sprouted anew.

Upon appraisal, he found that it still grew faster when kept with divine objects.

Near the sapling were purple bubbles.

【Divine Ability Fragment+1】

He had gained another fragment, but unfortunately, he was still two short.

Actually, Jiang Hao had hoped it would be gold this time, as the rabbit was about to complete its bloodline excavation.

A gold bubble should appear.

With two gold bubbles, he could obtain something new.

Although he didn’t know what it would be, it was bound to be something good.

Eleven days later.

Jiang Hao saw a golden bubble floating beside the rabbit.

【Golden Legend+1】

“Appraisal.”

After obtaining the Golden Legend, the first thing was to ascertain the rabbit’s condition.

At this moment, the rabbit was still sleeping, quite accustomed to its current life.

Its spiritual intelligence had just begun to awaken; at one time, it had thought that being suspended was the normal way of life.

Even after becoming smarter, it didn’t have any aversion to it.

【Mythical Beast Rabbit: Possesses sufficient spiritual intelligence, mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, and tremendous potential. It harbors a deep-seated mythical beast bloodline. Feed it one hundred spirit stones a day, and after eighty-one days, its hidden bloodline can be further unlocked. Feeding it spirit stones daily can increase its favorability; currently, it feels awe towards you.】

“There’s more, but this time it’s 8,100.”

Thinking it over, 8,100 was still acceptable.

If it were a thousand spirit stones a day, that would amount to tens of thousands of spirit stones, which he simply couldn’t afford.

However, this should be the last time.

Now that it already has tremendous potential, no one can be sure just how powerful the Mythical Beast Rabbit will become once its profound bloodline is fully excavated.

Who knows what trouble it might cause then.

Thinking this, he proceeded to let the rabbit down.

“Huh?”

The rabbit woke up, looking astonished.

“Master, why have you let me down?”

Jiang Hao glanced at it, thinking the rabbit had become addicted to hanging.

“Go find Xiao Li and the others; they’re going on a long trip in a few days,” Jiang Hao reminded.

……

Ten days later.

“Don’t rush back; if you encounter any issues, follow the old rules and let Xiao Li take the lead. However, her judgment isn’t enough; you’ll need to help her. When you visit Xiao Li Junior Sister’s home, remember to help purchase some things the elderly need and that are convenient.”

Jiang Hao instructed Cheng Chou.

Finally, he gave the other party a dozen or so spirit stones, along with some talismans, Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman, Healing Talisman, Swift Travel Talisman, and so on.

He also gave some healing medicinal pills.

After accepting the instructions, Cheng Chou left the sect with Xiao Li.

Xiao Li said she would bring back something tasty for Jiang Hao.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao smiled without a word.

It was like listening to the Mythical Beast Rabbit declare it never lied.

Very few things in Xiao Li’s hands ever made it back.

Afterward, Jiang Hao also reminded the rabbit not to forget to check on Chu Chuan’s progress.

If it advanced to the second level of Qi Refining, it should inform him.

……

Several days later.

Jiang Hao felt he was not far from advancing.

After collecting the bubbles from the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he glanced at his panel.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 23】

【Cultivation: Golden Core Perfection】

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

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear Heart and Pure Mind, Hidden Spirit Manifestation】

【Vital Energy: 69/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 71/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 1/3 (cannot be acquired)】

【Golden Legend: 1/2 (cannot be acquired)】

Jiang Hao focused his attention on his age; he was already twenty-three years old.

Another new year had arrived.

“The January sky doesn’t even feel cold.”

He looked up at the sky and noticed that it hardly ever snowed here.

It was somewhat regrettable.

Then he turned his attention back to his cultivation and vital energy.

Around seventy, which meant that in another three months, he could begin to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

He had done some research these days and found that advancing to Nascent Soul would cause a Nascent Soul phenomenon, which could easily be detected by others.

Therefore, he needed a special array to conceal the phenomenon, one that didn’t need to be set up around the yard but could be directly arranged in the room where he practiced.

He had inquired about the price; the cost of materials plus labor was one thousand eight hundred, while a ready-made one was two thousand one hundred.

He sincerely felt that array masters made good money.

Only he, as a talisman master, earned his money through hard work.

The original thirteen thousand spirit stones had dwindled to just one thousand after expenses at the Enforcement Peak, the rabbit, and the peach tree.

Fortunately, he had sold quite a few talismans in the past two months.

In total, he still had two thousand five hundred spirit stones left.

After deducting one thousand eight hundred, he was left with seven hundred spirit stones.

Finally, his spirit stone savings were back to three digits.

He could only earn a little bit at a time by selling talismans; who knew how long it would take to save up another ten thousand.

However, he hadn’t sold all the items he had snatched last time; there were still some spiritual medicines and treasures.

These items were identifiable and could only be sold away from the Tianyin Sect.

Otherwise, they could have fetched a few thousand more spirit stones.

Without dwelling on it further, Jiang Hao planned to prepare for his advancement to Nascent Soul in three months.

“Where’s your peach tree?”

A sudden voice interrupted Jiang Hao’s thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw a red figure standing by the peach tree.

She seemed somewhat puzzled.

Hong Yuye.

Three months had passed, and she had appeared again.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao had prepared everything that was needed.

But he hadn’t updated the tea leaves.

Recent expenses had been so high that he had forgotten about it.

“Replying to senior, the peach tree has undergone nirvana,” Jiang Hao responded.

“Nirvana?”

Hong Yuye turned to look at Jiang Hao and said, “It seems this peach tree is quite interesting.”

After saying that, she crouched down to take a closer look at the peach tree, now knee-high, then stood up after a moment of silence to face Jiang Hao.

“I’ve taken a liking to this peach tree; from today onwards, it’s mine. Do you agree or not?”

What use is it if I don’t agree?

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.
