Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Once Again Obtaining the Golden Legend

In the courtyard.

The leaves of the peach tree rustled, Jiang Hao’s clothes fluttered uncontrollably, and his hair tips swayed gently.

At this moment, he slowly walked to the table and sat down on the wooden chair.

“How did Bai Ye do it?”

After much thought, Jiang Hao still couldn’t find any clues.

He had identified the spiritual medicines from the Hundred Bones Forest a long time ago, and any effects should have been detectable.

Moreover, he assessed his physical condition every seven or eight days.

So far, there were no problems.

Without symptoms, it was impossible to detect anything.

Therefore, he paid more attention to the spiritual medicines.

If the medicines showed effects, he would be able to tell if they were Bai Ye’s proud creations.

But no matter where he looked, he found no trace.

Cultivation, divine powers, techniques—he had tried them all.

Everything was smooth and unobstructed.

He had thought that the symptoms had not yet appeared and needed more time.

However, Hong Yuye’s words shocked him; he was suffering from a severe poison without knowing it.

“Severe poison, huh.”

Jiang Hao sensed his condition once again, but still, there were no problems.

“Could it be an effect that just appeared today?”

After pondering for a moment, he performed an appraisal on himself again.

But the result was the same as usual, he was still afflicted with the Tianjue Gu poison.

“It seems that something else is needed to trigger it.”

“It should be time to sleep.”

“So, should I go to sleep now?”

Jiang Hao looked at the rabbit, with only five days left.

Hesitating for a moment, he opened the box left by Hong Yuye.

Inside lay a medicinal pill.

The pill had red and white patterns, its faint fragrance was refreshing and invigorating, and just a whiff of it made every inch of skin tingle with excitement.

“A holy medicine for healing wounds? Is it for detoxifying me?”

Jiang Hao speculated.

But he didn’t plan to use it now, at least not until he knew what was going on.

He decided to wait another five days, then take a sleep and see what poison he was afflicted with.

Having the medicinal pill for detoxification made things much safer; even if it only treated the symptoms, it would buy enough time to react.

……

The next day.

Jiang Hao appraised the spiritual medicines of the Hundred Bones Forest again.

Due to the large variety and quantity, it would take several days to complete the appraisal.

However, there was still no discovery.

Over four days, he appraised four types of spiritual medicines.

None showed to be the proud creation of Bai Ye.

If there was no problem with the spiritual medicines, then where was the issue?

On the fifth day, he looked at the Mingye Autumn Flowers, which had also been sent over suddenly.

Could it be a tactic of Bai Ye?

“Appraisal.”

Jiang Hao quietly waited for the feedback.

The conclusion was the same as what Lian Daozhi had said; there had been a small accident in their Spiritual Medicine Garden, so they were stored here.

Even if there were doubts, there was no way to investigate.

……

In the evening, Jiang Hao sat in the courtyard.

Without a single clue, he looked at the fruits that were about to ripen and suddenly realized he had forgotten to perform nirvana on the peach tree.

He sighed and stopped overthinking.

Instead, he used spirit stones to set up a spirit gathering formation to let the peach tree undergo nirvana.

Tomorrow would be the last day of hanging the rabbit.

After obtaining the Golden Legend, he could go to sleep.

By then, he would know the status, and he needed to save the appraisal for tomorrow.

Just in case.

……

The next morning.

“Master, look, the peach tree exploded again.”

The rabbit swung itself like a swing, looking completely at ease.

“Mm.” Jiang Hao sat quietly watching.

At that moment, a golden bubble appeared next to the rabbit.

Jiang Hao felt quite emotional.

He had finally waited until this moment.

【Golden Legend +1】

Jiang Hao stood up and untied the rabbit, saying,

“Alright, you can go out now.”

“How about hanging for two more days?” the rabbit said reluctantly, touching its ears.

Jiang Hao looked at the rabbit calmly and finally refused: “No.”

The rabbit didn’t mind and ran to the side of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower first.

Normally, he would appraise the rabbit’s condition, but now he needed to save his divine power for the sleep later.

After collecting the successfully nirvana-ed the peach tree, Jiang Hao casually collected two blue bubbles.

【Cultivation +1】

【Vital Energy +1】

The seeds needed to be appraised before planting to ensure the correct planting method.

Now, he had to open the Golden Legend first.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 23】

【Cultivation: Nascent Soul Early Stage】

【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, Divine Might】

【Vital Energy: 37/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 37/100 (can be cultivated)】

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

【Golden Legend: 2/2 (can be acquired)】

Looking at the panel, Jiang Hao chose to obtain the Golden Legend.

In a hazy state, he saw himself standing on an endless land.

Above in the sky were nine golden rings, which seemed to encompass the land.

Then the rings came towards him, and as each one landed in his hand, the surrounding environment began to change.

Mountains, seas, jungles, clouds… and so on flashed by, until the ninth golden ring landed in his hand, Jiang Hao found himself back at his residence.

Now he had a golden ring in his hand.

Holding the ring, he felt the other eight sub-rings inside it.

“It feels like something extraordinary, but unfortunately, there’s no time to study it.”

After putting away the golden ring, Jiang Hao went upstairs.

Now he was going to take a sleep and see what poison he had been afflicted with.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jiang Hao took out the medicinal pill.

The fragrance of the pill helped to alleviate the burden on his body.

Should any problems arise, it would offer a chance for a turnaround.

He then closed his eyes slightly and began to rest.

He dared not lie down to sleep, to prevent being unable to react in time.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Hao felt his consciousness grow heavy, but the surrounding spiritual energy and scents kept stimulating him, making it hard for him to fall asleep.

The more this happened, the more he felt the need to sleep.

To see what kind of poison it was.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the midst of it, he felt something rapidly invading his Nascent Soul.

He woke up in an instant.

To his surprise, what he saw was not his own room.

Instead, it was a tranquil lake, and in the lake, a long-haired woman with her back to him was washing her shoulders with water.

Her fair back was fully exposed.

Seeing all this, Jiang Hao subconsciously thought of Hong Yuye and worried that the woman before him might be her.

After a short time, the woman in the lake slowly stood up, her long hair moving from the front to her back.

She was about to turn around.

If she turned, Jiang Hao would see her front.

At this thought, he felt a sense of panic and wanted to dodge.

But as he tried to move aside, what surrounded him was not vegetation but endless bones and rivers of blood.

This sudden change startled Jiang Hao, but he still managed to remain calm.

A divine power flickered between his eyebrows.

Not only that, but the ring on his finger was also bolstering him.

“Nascent Soul, huh?”

Jiang Hao realized.

This is the poison?

Without hesitation, he used a divine power on himself.

This situation was very different from before, especially in the Nascent Soul state, and he wasn’t sure if he could successfully appraise himself.

Soon the divine power gave feedback.

“It seems to be possible.”
