Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Divine Pill

A slight vibration from the Secret Whisper Slate indicated that the Senior Dan Yuan was once again convening a gathering.

It should also be an advance notice.

The specific time needed to be checked.

Recently, he hasn’t stopped checking the Secret Whisper Slate, but it’s always the same three people chatting idly.

The others haven’t shown up yet; according to Fairy Gui and the others, they’re either in seclusion or busy with certain tasks.

As for specific information about those people, Jiang Hao doesn’t know much.

Especially their identities, he knows very little, only some characteristics.

For example, Gui is currently tracking River Dragon.

In a few days, she’ll probably curse a couple of times.

Jiang Hao wasn’t in a hurry to observe the Secret Whisper Slate; instead, he turned his attention to Xiao Li.

He definitely wouldn’t give her a collar; he hadn’t agreed to it last time either.

As for why she thought he would give it to her, that was a mystery.

Still, he decided to give her something to keep her settled down.

After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and took out the second ring and tossed it to Xiao Li.

“Refine it a bit, and it can serve as both an offensive and defensive magical treasure.”

Xiao Li caught the golden ring, her face lit up with excitement.

After refining it for half a day, she wore it around her neck and ran over to show Jiang Hao.

“Take it off.”

Jiang Hao sighed, “Wear it on your wrist.”

Reluctantly, Xiao Li took it off and wore it on her wrist.

The rabbit eyed Xiao Li’s bracelet and then said to Jiang Hao:

“Master, give me one too.”

“Next time,” Jiang Hao replied calmly.

There were only eight rings in total.

One had to be kept in the courtyard just in case, and one was given to Xiao Li, which would likely never be used.

Now there were only six left.

Giving one to the rabbit would mean only five were usable.

The rings were needed to activate the door that would allow him to pass through, a function he hadn’t yet revealed to Xiao Li.

Explaining too much would not be conducive to releasing them later.

After tending to the Mingye Autumn Flowers again, Jiang Hao returned.

These flowers often produced green bubbles, which were mostly less useful than white bubbles.

After all, some spirit swords were of no use.

Not only did they take up space, but selling them was too conspicuous.

He could only wait for an opportunity to go out and sell them in large quantities.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao looked at the planted peach trees, considering that matter settled, as well as the red lotus flowers once they bloomed.

Now there were only two urgent tasks to attend to: identifying the pills given by Hong Yuye and inquiring about Bai Ye from Liu Xingchen.

After sitting down, he checked the Secret Whisper Slate and learned that a gathering would be held in seven days at midnight.

“The interval is a bit long this time, but that’s fine,” he thought.

“I need to do something for the second time. Since I rarely participate, if I don’t make myself useful, I’ll be easily marginalized.”

After much deliberation, he decided to see whether he should reveal some information about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, depending on the situation.

He needed to gain their approval first; otherwise, he couldn’t continue to stay undercover.

The next day, Jiang Hao took out the detoxification pill to identify it.

【Red Feather Divine Pill: A holy medicine for healing, capable of regenerating flesh from bones and nourishing the Nascent Soul, dispelling evil, removing curses, and eliminating inner demons. As long as there’s a breath of life or a wisp of soul, there’s a chance of being saved. This medicine is almost ineffective for those with dragon bloodline.】

“What level of pill is this?”

Jiang Hao felt shocked as he read the description.

Does Hong Yuye have anything ordinary?

So far, everything she’s given him can’t be bought with spirit stones.

Whether it’s 《Heavenly Saber Seven Forms》, 《Merge with Light and Blend with Dust》, or the nameless secret manual, none of them are available on the market, especially the last one, which might be the only copy in the entire cultivation world in his possession.

The Snow God Pill and this Red Feather Divine Pill are no less extraordinary.

“Is she richer than the entire Tianyin Sect combined? Who exactly is she?”

Soon, Jiang Hao’s thoughts turned to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and the peach tree.

In the future, these two items might also belong to her.

Does this mean all her good items are stolen?

What kind of power allows someone to steal so much without any consequences?

For a moment, Jiang Hao felt his chances of escaping her clutches were growing more elusive.

“No, I must become stronger as soon as possible. Whether I can escape or not is one thing, but I must have control over my own life and death.”

He thought about going to the mines to dig, as the place was gradually recovering.

If he made a mistake, there was a chance he’d be punished by being sent there.

He didn’t dare to go there on his own initiative, as it wouldn’t be easy to return once he went.

If Hong Yuye found out, it could spell trouble.

Putting away the Red Feather Divine Pill, he decided to find time to check the Scripture Pavilion to gauge the rarity of this pill.

Perhaps he could sell it in the future if he became desperate.

What surprised him, however, was that the pill was ineffective for those with dragon bloodlines.

He wondered why.

……

Three days later, the red lotus sprouted, and Jiang Hao didn’t feel much.

However, after sleeping nearby, the poison of the inner demons disappeared.

It seemed that the sprouting was effective.

Two more days passed, and the peach tree sprouted.

Purple bubbles appeared.

【Divine Ability Fragment+1】

Now with two Divine Ability Fragments, if things went well next year, he could gain another divine ability.

If all nine nirvanas produced purple bubbles, that would mean three divine abilities.

But he feared that the bubbles might turn gold later on.

…….

Before midnight, Jiang Hao stood on the balcony looking at the yard, where a rabbit was lying on the ground, gazing at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Every night it kept watch, eager to devour it.

“I wonder if it will really take a bite one day,” Jiang Hao mused, shaking his head.

If it bit the flower, the flower might be fine, but the rabbit… could end up as fertilizer.

Returning to his room, he took out the Secret Whisper Slate; it was almost midnight.

Moments later, Jiang Hao entered the public area of the slate.

It was the same spot as before, with the same five people. Sitting high in front was Senior Dan Yuan, with “Gui” (Ghost), “Liu” (Willow), and “Xing” (Star) at his sides.

“Greetings, senior,” the four said respectfully.

“It’s been a while.”

Dan Yuan said with a smile, looking at the four.

“It seems it’s you four again. Any cultivation issues lately?”

“I’d like to ask senior if the Tiansheng Sect’s mental cultivation method is suitable for practice?” Fairy Gui was the first to speak.

“Tiansheng mental cultivation method?”

Dan Yuan replied softly, “It depends on your purpose. The Tiansheng method doesn’t have anything beyond mental refinement—no spiritual clones like the Great Thousand Spirit Technique, nor the visions of the Sun and Moon mental method. So, if you’re looking for something else, it’s not suitable. But for mental refinement, it’s a viable choice. The Tiansheng method isn’t top-tier, but it’s decent in the southern region, especially since it’s highly compatible with other methods, allowing for easy transition and even concurrent cultivation with certain other methods.”

Gui Xianzi nodded her thanks, and Liu and Xing also asked some questions.

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment but chose to shake his head.

He had nothing to ask.

He didn’t practice mental cultivation methods, his technique was the Primordial Heart Sutra, and he had never encountered a bottleneck.

As for spells… they were all unconventional.

Asking would only complicate things. He could have asked about elixirs last time since it was his first participation and exceptions could be made, but not this time.

It would break the rules.

The others didn’t say anything about it; not everyone encounters problems with their cultivation.

“Let’s discuss the matter we mentioned last time.”

Dan Yuan said, looking at everyone.

“Do any of you have information related to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?”

Liu mentioned some rumors, but nothing substantial.

Xing remained silent.

Fairy Gui glanced at Jiang Hao and finally said,

“Although I don’t know the specifics about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, I do know where one can be found.”

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

If she knew, why look at him?
