Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Treatment of a True Disciple is Really Good

Returning to Duanqing Cliff.

Jiang Hao began to contemplate Tianhuan Pavilion.

He had indeed offended Tianhuan Pavilion by killing Senior Sister Yun Ruo, but not everyone was out to kill him.

If everyone wanted to take action, it was likely an intentional or unintentional command from someone at Tianhuan Pavilion.

So normally, those who wanted to kill him fell into two categories.

One, those who wanted to please the Pavilion Master, and two, those influenced by Senior Sister Yun Ruo’s charm body.

Either type was very dangerous.

“This trip to the Demon’s Cave is highly dangerous. I need to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible to have the power to protect myself. I have a defensive magic treasure, now I’m missing an offensive magic treasure and a more powerful offensive technique.”

The Primordial Heart Sutra contained its own techniques, but so far, none had been unlocked.

His cultivation level wasn’t high enough.

After taking care of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao found his master, Ku Wuchang.

“Techniques?” Hearing Jiang Hao’s request, Ku Wuchang didn’t waste words.

“What kind do you want to learn?”

“Something powerful,” Jiang Hao said.

“Do you use a blade?” Ku Wuchang asked.

“I can use one,” Jiang Hao immediately replied.

He hadn’t specialized in any particular magical treasure yet.

Daggers, spirit swords, he had used them all.

But only just used them.

“Good, then I’ll pass on the Demon Sound Slash to you.”

Saying this, Ku Wuchang pointed his fingers at Jiang Hao’s forehead.

A blade shadow then appeared in Jiang Hao’s mind like thunder rolling and storms racing.

The vision disappeared shortly after.

Jiang Hao came back to his senses, and Ku Wuchang handed him a book:

“Take this back and meditate on it. With your talent, you should be able to barely learn it in a little over a month.”

“Thank you, Master.” Jiang Hao took the book and then excused himself to leave.

As he was leaving, he just happened to see Han Ming and other Senior Brothers going in.

“Do you want to learn an offensive technique? Then I will pass on the Heavenly Thunder Sword to you. You stay here and learn from me, you can only leave once you’ve learned it.”

Ku Wuchang’s stern voice came from inside.

Jiang Hao glanced over and then stopped paying attention, quickly leaving.

He had to go back and meditate on the Demon Sound Slash.

As for what he had just overheard, he didn’t care; he was just one of the many inner disciples.

But Han Ming and the others were true disciples.

Their treatment was naturally different.

He could only sigh at how good the treatment of a true disciple was.

Returning to his residence, Jiang Hao glanced at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“I need to make a trip to Baiyue Lake; it might not be good to leave this flower here like this when I’m gone.”

Afterward, he went to the cultivation room, activated the Clear Heart and Pure Mind technique, and instantly felt his mind become clear and his thoughts transparent.

He could understand and grasp many things at an extremely fast speed.

He then began to open the book and comprehend the Demon Sound Slash.

For seven consecutive days, Jiang Hao meditated on the Demon Sound Slash.

On the eighth day, he went through everything in his mind once again.

Then he went to the stream, casually picked up a branch, and swung it out in an instant.

Boom!

The demonic sound thundered, its sharpness fully revealed.

A blade shadow, ten meters in length, slashed across the sky.

Boom!

The creek exploded, sand and stones flying everywhere.

The sound of impact echoed.

A long gash was left on the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao let out a slight smile:

“Success, the power is pretty good, and seven days is a decent time.”

With his talent, it would normally take over a month to master the Demon Sound Slash.

But he possessed the divine ability of the Clear Heart and Pure Mind, which enhanced his talent; otherwise, it would have been impossible to comprehend it in just seven days.

“Now I just need one more blade, I’ll save up spirit stones for another month to buy it.”

He hadn’t made any spirit talismans or sold any in these seven days.

Apart from the Myriad Swords Talisman that Senior Sister Leng Tian requested, he hadn’t sold any others.

All his time was devoted to understanding the Demon Sound Slash.

So he still had only a little over four hundred spirit stones.

By all accounts, that was a substantial sum of money, but for the sake of survival, he still felt it wasn’t enough.

A few hundred spirit stones definitely wouldn’t suffice to buy the best magical treasures for someone at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But earning more seemed somewhat out of reach.

After discarding the branch, Jiang Hao went to the courtyard, where he had noticed something over the past few days.

The snow lotus flower would produce a bubble every three days, which could be either vital energy or cultivation base.

It couldn’t compare to the Heavenly Fragrance Flower, which produced two bubbles a day, but it was many times better than before.

As for the blue lotus flower, it had also bloomed.

But on the first day of blooming, there were only green bubbles and, afterward, only white ones.

Better than nothing, I suppose.

It could be used for a spirit gathering array.

At this moment, Jiang Hao glanced at his status panel.

【Vital Energy: 99/100 (can be cultivated)】

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

Just a bit short on vital energy.

By tomorrow at the latest, he could begin his advancement.

……

In the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Jiang Hao looked around and noticed a blue bubble today.

He walked over immediately.

The surrounding bubbles began to converge and merge into him.

【Vital Energy +1】

【Spirit +1】

【Strength +1】

【Strength +1】

【Strength +1】

Feeling the increase in strength, Jiang Hao was also somewhat pleased.

Of course, the most important thing was that his vital energy was full.

He could go back tonight and raise his cultivation base.

After taking care of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao instructed the other outer disciples to look after it.

Not just because he was in a hurry to advance but also because, in a little over a month, he would be heading to the Demon Cavern.

Others would need to take over here.

When the time came, the inner sect Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters would just need to make an appearance; the outer sect would handle the management.

It was less likely to cause trouble.

He also made time to visit Baiyue Lake, where he didn’t see Elder Bai Zhi, but Senior Sister Zhou Chan brought a message with only four words: “No need to worry.”

It seemed that whether he was there or not, fishing could continue.

So he didn’t need to worry either.

Back at his residence, Jiang Hao looked around to make sure everything was in order before entering the cultivation room to extract blood qi and cultivation base.

Whether he could advance to the later stage of Foundation Establishment in one go, he wasn’t sure.

But when it was time to advance, he couldn’t delay.

The vast blood qi and spiritual energy began to fill Jiang Hao’s eight extraordinary meridians.

Purple qi appeared in the meridians, starting to guide.

It seemed to be going smoother than before.
