Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Trouble from Tianhuan Pavilion?

Half a month after obtaining the Nameless Secret Manual, Jiang Hao finally mastered the art of concealment.

Now, from any perspective, he appeared to be an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As he continued to improve, as long as no one could see through the Primordial Purple Qi, no one would know how much cultivation he had hidden.

In his room, Jiang Hao exhaled.

He then opened his panel to check his current status.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 19】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Mid-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: 35/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 38/100 (can be cultivated)】

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

“It doesn’t show the techniques, so it seems they are indeed just special skills.”

“Advancing to the early stage of Foundation Establishment consumes about the same amount of techniques and vital energy as advancing to the mid-stage. I wonder if it’s possible to advance in one go later on.”

Jiang Hao could only experiment with this next time. In two or three months, he would have another chance.

If successful, he could advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

“The compensation period is approaching. I need to earn some spirit stones.”

Now that he has completely concealed his cultivation level, he doesn’t have to worry about anything.

He’s just a bit curious if he can deceive that woman.

He’ll try after his promotion.

For the moment, he’s somewhat looking forward to her arrival.

Of course, since she’s very strong and has an eccentric personality, he needs to be cautious.

It’s better not to meet her if possible.

After a visit to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao encountered some bubbles again.

【Strength +1】

【Strength +1】

【Spirit +1】

【Cultivation +1】

After picking up bubbles for so many years, he has never come across an intelligence increase of one.

It’s a pity; otherwise, he could have become stronger faster and escaped his current predicament.

Fortunately, the slight increases in spirit and strength are still perceptible.

Given a hundred years, his spirit might be able to shake the Golden Core realm, without any promotion.

At noon, he left the Spiritual Medicine Garden and went to the sect market.

There weren’t many people around, which was normal and not surprising.

On his way, he saw Qi Yang and wanted to greet him, but Qi Yang’s Senior Brother noticed and quickly took Qi Yang away.

Watching them leave, Jiang Hao didn’t bother to follow.

Qi Yang had seen him and looked down, seemingly ashamed.

In an instant, Jiang Hao realized his mistake. The people from Tianhuan Pavilion were after him, and greeting Qi Yang could easily drag him into trouble.

He could understand the actions of Qi Yang’s Senior Brother.

Without dwelling on it, Jiang Hao found a stall and started selling talismans.

Most of them were the three common spirit talismans: Blazing Fire Talisman, Concentration Talisman, and Divine Sword Talisman.

Occasionally, he could make a Myriad Swords Talisman, but unfortunately, the cost was too high, so for now, he preferred to play it safe.

He still needed about one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

One talisman for five spirit stones, he needed to sell thirty.

So far, he had over fifty talismans but only displayed a dozen or so.

If there were too many, they would lose their value.

“After the compensation is done, I want to start making Myriad Swords Talisman. They are powerful and valuable.”

“Without a thousand spirit stones weighing on me, I don’t have to worry too much about the cost,” Jiang Hao thought to himself.

“Junior Brother, I see you again. I’ve been holding back from buying spirit talismans, waiting especially for you,” said the Fairy Leng Tian as she approached Jiang Hao’s stall with a smile.

“Does Senior Sister want more Blazing Fire Talismans?” Jiang Hao asked enthusiastically.

He remembered this Senior Sister. She had bought dozens of Blazing Fire Talismans.

She had helped him earn quite a bit.

The Fairy Leng Tian shook her head: “No more, do you have Myriad Swords Talisman?”

This Senior Sister cared a lot about power, and Jiang Hao felt a bit regretful,

“No, they are too difficult to make.”

“Then I’ll take Divine Sword talisman, however many you have,” said the Fairy Leng Tian generously.

“Five talismans, twenty-five spirit stones in total, I’ll charge Senior Sister twenty-two,” Jiang Hao offered, handing over five talisman.

“Fair enough, your quality is good, and you’re easy to talk to,” the Fairy Leng Tian cheerfully handed over twenty-two spirit stones.

Her eyes carried a hint of ferocity, and her smile felt somewhat dangerous.

After securing the talismans, the Fairy Leng Tian asked in a low voice.

“I heard Junior Brother has offended Tianhuan Pavilion?”

Before Jiang Hao could answer, she continued.

“Junior Brother, you should be careful. The people from Tianhuan Pavilion are excessively greedy, capable of many things.”

“Don’t leave the sect if it’s not necessary; it’s dangerous.”

“I wouldn’t want to lose a place to buy such good talisman.”

Jiang Hao nodded in thanks and gave her a few unsold talisman like the Swift Travel Talisman and Fire Talisman.

She didn’t dare linger and quickly left.

Not long after, Jiang Hao welcomed another customer, a man with a slightly pale face.

Foundation Establishment mid-stage.

“Jiang Hao, Jiang Junior Brother? I’ve often heard some Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters mention that you killed Junior Sister Yun Ruo?”

Miao Qian said with a cold smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt uneasy. It was someone from Tianhuan Pavilion.

‘Coincidence or did they come looking for trouble?’

After hesitating, Jiang Hao still replied respectfully,

“What would this Senior Brother like to say?”

“Nothing much, just here to buy some things. How much for these talismans?” Miao Qian bent down and picked up a Concentration talisman to ask.

“A Concentration talisman is five spirit stones, and a Blazing Fire Talisman is three spirit stones,” Jiang Hao replied.

Hearing the price, Miao Qian didn’t even frown and said with a cold laugh,

“I’ll take them all, how much in total?”

All of them?

Jiang Hao knew today wouldn’t go smoothly.
