Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: The Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth

【Current Status: Afflicted with the Tianjuee Gu poison and Bai Ye’s Heart Demon Technique. The Heart Demon Technique, created by Bai Ye, uses the minute toxins of the autumn flower golden leaf bug, the extreme bliss toxins of Duanqing Grass, the humidity of stream water, the scent of vegetation, combined with the properties and fragrance of snow lotus and black lotus, which may be mixed with blue lotus to form the Heart Demon poison. Those who encounter it in sleep or during ascension are likely to suffer an outbreak, forming a Heart Demon. The scent of red lotus can be used to counteract the poison of the golden leaf bug’s scent.】

Looking at the feedback from the divine power, Jiang Hao was stunned.

The threat of Bai Ye was far beyond his imagination.

Such a person was terrifying.

It turned out that the real impact was not from the spiritual medicine of the Hundred Bones Forest, nor the autumn flowers, but the golden leaf bugs on the autumn flowers.

And his work these past days had been to clear out the golden leaf bugs.

“I’ve been guarding the wrong place, and Bai Ye even used my residence and the spiritual medicine I planted against me.”

“I need to find out more about his situation.”

But to find out more, he could only ask Liu Xingchen.

He needed a good excuse.

“Are you spying on me?” Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

Jiang Hao then remembered the woman in the lake.

Turning his head, he saw that she had hidden herself in the water, only her head visible, looking panicked and pitiable.

The moment he saw her face, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t Hong Yuye.

It was Senior Sister Yun Ruo.

Why it was Yun Ruo, he did not know, but it didn’t matter.

“Are you the Heart Demon?” Jiang Hao asked coldly.

“I’m not, I’m just…”

Before Yun Ruo in the water could finish, a flash of blade light followed.

Pfft!

Blood spilled everywhere, and Yun Ruo fell into the lake.

Staring at the water’s surface, Jiang Hao said calmly.

“How could a Heart Demon admit to being a Heart Demon?”

“You’re so cruel.”

At that moment, Senior Sister Yun Ruo in the water recovered again, but this time her face was twisted, and her body was covered by a sea of blood.

She stared at Jiang Hao, stirring the surrounding dry bones and corpses.

For a moment, countless skeletons slowly stood up, all staring at Jiang Hao, their mouths moving slightly, all saying:

“You’re so cruel, why did you kill me.”

“Just a Heart Demon.”

Jiang Hao looked coldly at the “Senior Sister Yun Ruo” before him as his Divine Might activated, and a golden light shone brightly.

Clang!

The sound of a saber rang out, and the Primordial Heavenly Saber was in hand.

Purple Qi spread out.

A powerful aura suppressed everything around, and the Heart Demons inexplicably felt fear.

Some even began to flee.

Jiang Hao just calmly watched them, and then he slashed down with his saber.

“In your next life, don’t come to be my Heart Demon.”

Boom!

With one slash, he broke open the heavens and the earth, the skeletons shattered to dust, and the sea of blood evaporated and disappeared.

Finally, a light pierced through the heavy darkness.

Jiang Hao’s eyes opened accordingly.

This time he saw his own room, and the fragrance of the medicinal pill was still effective.

The pill made him feel much more comfortable, and even his Nascent Soul was nourished.

“This pill is extraordinary.”

Thinking this, he closed the lid.

The pill wasn’t needed for the heart demon poison this time; it could be saved for later use.

Afterward, he carefully sensed his body.

Aside from some consumption of his Nascent Soul, there were no significant issues.

“Sleeping is fine, but encountering a heart demon during advancement could be extremely dangerous.”

Jiang Hao felt a lingering fear.

A failed advancement could mean not just a waste of cultivation and vital energy, which was the lesser concern, but also significant harm to oneself.

“I need to buy some Red Lotus seeds, or perhaps a Red Lotus flower directly. I wonder how many spirit stones that will cost.”

He had only five hundred spirit stones left.

Selling some talismans should get him around seven hundred.

……

Leaving his residence, Jiang Hao headed to the Xuelian Pavilion.

“A Red Lotus flower?” The guiding fairy politely brought out the seed:

“Red Lotus flowers are quite rare. Senior Brother is quite lucky; this is the last one we have. The price is five hundred.”

Jiang Hao didn’t quite believe what she said, as he often felt overcharged on his visits.

But five hundred seemed to be the normal price, not too much more than expected.

Still, it was expensive, and that was without considering high-grade spiritual medicines.

After purchasing the seed, he sold some talismans and casually bought seven bottles of spiritual liquid.

This time, without needing an appraisal, the guiding fairy informed him that watering with the spiritual liquid for seven days would suffice.

This was the fastest way to cultivate it.

And so, Jiang Hao did just that.

…….

The next day.

He took out the golden ring he had obtained from the Golden Legend.

It looked like a bracelet and, once successfully refined, could be controlled to change size at will.

“Appraisal.”

【Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth: A spatial treasure. Borrow the laws of Heaven and Earth, the positions of heaven and earth. The main ring and the sub-rings can be used to reach the location of the sub-rings, even if they are worlds apart. Each sub-ring can only be used to borrow position once a day.】

“Is that how it works?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

Does that mean he could go anywhere as long as he had planted a sub-ring?

He had a rough idea that it was a spatial treasure when he was refining it, but he didn’t expect it to be used like this.

It was somewhat incredible.

After wearing the main ring on his wrist, Jiang Hao spread out his hand, and eight golden rings floated up.

Upon closer inspection, he found that these eight rings could be used for both offense and defense, not just for borrowing positions from heaven and earth.

However, to borrow a position, he would need to open that door.

Then, he threw one of the rings onto the ground, and it expanded, imprinting onto the ground like a formation.

Afterward, he went outside the courtyard and set the second ring in the air to open.

Having done all this, he connected with the main ring and then linked it to the sub-ring in the room.

Three breaths later, he disappeared from the spot, reappearing above the ring in the room.

“It’s an instantaneous teleportation.”

He remarked and then vanished again, this time stepping out from the ring in the courtyard.

It was still instantaneous.

“This is quite useful.”

As long as he kept one golden ring in the room, he could return at any moment, no matter where he was.

The only question was whether it could withstand spatial lockdown.

Also, to connect successfully, it required about three breaths’ time.

In urgent situations, it might not be effective.

But this was enough; as long as there was a three-breath window of safety, he could use the position-borrowing ability.

After placing a ring in the room, Jiang Hao collected the ring from the courtyard.

So, what to do with the remaining seven rings?

For a moment, he didn’t know how to use them.

However, like the Heavenly Saber, the main ring could be stored inside his body, and its specific uses could be considered later.

He still had to appraise the rabbit, the pills, and the seeds.

Because of Bai Ye, he had delayed many things.

……

The next day, Jiang Hao appraised the peach tree seed.

It was not much different from before; everything was just reduced a bit.

Germination was one day faster, and there was one less Nirvana.

After planting the seed, Jiang Hao waited calmly for seven days to harvest a purple bubble.

…….

The next day, he appraised the rabbit.

The results were surprising; the rabbit still had potential.

But this time it wasn’t one hundred, but four hundred and ninety, lasting forty-nine days.

The rabbit was not simple; its potential was too profound.

Jiang Hao vaguely remembered that when he first caught it, it didn’t even have spiritual intelligence.

It was just an ordinary spiritual beast.

That day, Jiang Hao in the Spiritual Medicine Garden welcomed Xiao Li.

“Senior Brother, last time you said you would give this to me.”

She casually grabbed the rabbit and pointed at the collar.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao finally spoke.

“Does this have any use?”

“The rabbit says it’s so powerful because of this,” Xiao Li answered truthfully.

Jiang Hao sighed.

How could one believe what a rabbit says?

At that moment, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation from the stone slab.

The second gathering was about to begin.
