Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Jiang Hao Might Be in Big Trouble

Baihua Lake.

The flowers and leaves by the pavilion swayed gently.

Their fragrance wafted into the pavilion.

A skirt of red and white danced along, its three thousand strands of hair entwined with the movement.

“Sect Master.”

A white figure landed in front of the pavilion.

She looked at the woman sitting upright on a stone chair inside, her face full of respect.

“Speak,” said Hong Yuye, her voice calm.

“The people targeting the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead have been captured, half of them are now locked up in the Lawless Tower, and the new list is still being compiled,” Bai Zhi continued without pause:

“We still don’t know their purpose for targeting the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, and we are interrogating them. Recently, we have discovered the forces connected to Tianqing Mountain and overseas. It should be End of All Things. Some information was obtained from the few people we captured; End of All Things is a strange force. They have core members, but even more are external. It would be troublesome without a channel, but fortunately, we have one. However, it will take some time.”

“What do they want?” Hong Yuye directed her gaze at Bai Zhi.

“We don’t know yet,” Bai Zhi replied respectfully, bowing her head:

“But judging from their core principles, it might be for the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, although the bead had not appeared at that time. So their purpose is still under consideration.”

“Continue the investigation,” Hong Yuye said calmly, withdrawing her gaze.

“Yes,” Bai Zhi nodded, then continued.

“Not long ago, we received an invitation from the Mingyue Sect; they are opening a Dao Discussion Conference and hope we will participate.”

“Dao Discussion Conference?”

Hong Yuye fell silent for a moment before asking, “Did they specify what level of disciples to bring?”

“Roughly four each from Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul to facilitate participation in the discussion,” Bai Zhi replied.

Only up to Nascent Soul, this was the consideration of the Immortal Sects towards other sects.

Going up one more realm would be bearable for them, but it was the limit.

“This is your matter,” Hong Yuye said, not interfering with this issue.

After Bai Zhi responded, she spoke again.

“Anything else?”

“Regarding Jiang Hao, there has been no development since he entered the Corpse Realm, and other suspects have not made any moves. The people from Tiansheng Sect are still harboring ill intentions; they have been spotted nearby, and we have located their nearby stronghold. We will completely eradicate them when the time comes. Their goal seems to be waiting for Jiang Hao to leave the sect; it’s unclear whether it’s for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower or for Yan Hua,” Bai Zhi said seriously.

Hong Yuye nodded slightly, her gaze drifting into the distance, and calmly said: “Anything else?”

Bai Zhi said a few more words and then withdrew.

She needed to start finalizing the list of those going to the Mingyue Sect.

This was an opportunity to enhance the prestige of the Tianyin Sect, one that could not be missed.

……

Corpse Realm.

Jiang Hao was rummaging through the storage treasures of those two individuals.

He found some Nascent Soul level elixirs.

One bottle seemed to cost five or six hundred spirit stones.

There were three bottles in total.

And they all belonged to Ye Luo.

“I’ve never seen such a poor Nascent Soul .”

A newly advanced Nascent Soul at full circle was indeed poor, without even a magical treasure to their name.

Most likely, they had exchanged everything for elixirs, then found an opportunity and advanced in one fell swoop.

In the face of advancement, extra spirit stones or magical treasures indeed have no use.

It’s only right to sell them all.

Just like some of the items he had, which he had mostly sold off.

What remained were items that were difficult to sell, such as the spiritual medicines and treasures he had taken from the pill refiner.

“If I think about it, I could sell them here or sell them to Gu Wen and the others at a low price.”

Later, he found two magical treasures in Ye Luo’s possession: a spirit sword of good material and quality and a stone seal, which was a Nascent Soul-level treasure.

“It looks very powerful.”

Jiang Hao tried it out and managed to suppress the surrounding hillside.

“It’s good I didn’t give them a chance, otherwise it would have been a big problem.”

He was most afraid of encountering someone who, like himself, would launch a sneak attack.

Fortunately, they would lower their guard since he was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

This was the advantage of hiding one’s cultivation level.

However, if he didn’t hide his cultivation level, they might not have dared to come at all.

Jiang Hao didn’t know what would happen if he didn’t hide it and didn’t think too much about it since there was no answer.

But how much would a Nascent Soul magical treasure sell for?

A Golden Core would cost several thousand to tens of thousands.

Wouldn’t twenty thousand for a Nascent Soul be reasonable? Especially since the quality is decent.

But who could afford twenty thousand?

He could only sell it at a low price, but even at ten thousand, not many could afford it.

He could only see if he could sell it to Gu Wen and the others.

Thinking of them, Jiang Hao turned his head to look at the mine.

He wondered if they would be able to come out.

After entering, it wasn’t just a matter of nine deaths and one life; even ordinary dangers could easily trap people inside.

But they were decisive people; faced with Nascent Soul, they rushed in without a second word.

Later, he found a book in the storage treasure.

On it were written 16 big characters: 《Tianyu Heart Sutra》.

It was the cultivation method of the Tianyu Sect.

Jiang Hao briefly looked through it and found that the 《Tianyu Heart Sutra》 was divided into two parts: one for normal cultivation and the other for the Tianyu mental technique.

This mental technique had the essence of feather transformation, and upon reaching a certain realm, one could use the mental technique to break through a bottleneck.

For example, someone whose talent could only take them to the peak of Foundation Establishment could break through the bottleneck and enter Golden Core after using the mental technique once.

“It seems the Tianyu Sect is not simple; this kind of mental technique is quite remarkable.”

This book would have some value at gatherings and could be kept.

Afterward, he organized all the items.

“A Golden Core level spirit sword, priced at about eight or nine thousand.”

“A Nascent Soul level stone seal, priced at about twenty thousand.”

“Three bottles of Nascent Soul elixirs, priced at about one thousand five hundred.”

“Various other items, at most one thousand.”

“In total, about thirty-one thousand. If I sell at half price, that’s fifteen thousand.”

“Plus three thousand spirit stones, I could get about eighteen thousand.”

Jiang Hao thought carefully and felt it wasn’t too little.

The main thing was to sell at a discount; otherwise, they would be stuck in his hands.

Since he couldn’t determine how long the mine would remain closed, Jiang Hao could only manage the spiritual medicines and collect some white bubbles.

……

The next day.

Jiang Hao saw a blue bubble appear.

【Cultivation+1】

An unexpected surprise.

He looked at the spiritual medicines; they were just the ordinary ones he had planted, appearing randomly.

He waited another day, but the mine still did not open.

The crowing chicken showed no reaction while eating.

During this time, he felt that some people had set their sights on him, but because of the Nascent Soul formation, they were deterred from approaching.

On the third day, the crowing chicken finally started to crow.

Jiang Hao went to the entrance to see if the five of them would come out.

……

Inside the mine.

Gu Wen and the others were fleeing in a sorry state.

They were being chased by a large number of beasts, having exhausted their magical treasures and elixirs. If they continued, they really wouldn’t be able to hold on.

Zhuge Zheng’s sword had shattered, Gu Wen’s brush had broken, and Ding Yu’s shield was damaged.

Xia Dong’s robe had lost its luster.

Only Murong Qingqing was in the best condition, as everyone was protecting her.

“We’ve found it,” Murong Qingqing exclaimed excitedly.

“The exit has appeared, over here, hurry.”

The others were revitalized, finally about to leave this damned place.

Gu Wen was somewhat worried again, “Could it be the mine from before?”

“I don’t know, but it appears to be safe,” Murong Qingqing answered.

The group let out a slight sigh of relief, taking it as good news.

Soon, they saw light.

“Do you think Brother Jiang might have already met a violent end?” Xia Dong sighed and asked.

The others felt somewhat helpless; they hadn’t expected Jiang Hao to leave so quickly.

Yet Gu Wen furrowed his brows, not understanding why those seven words had suddenly popped into his mind.

He had never actually seen the real “Merge with Light and Blend with Dust.”

But for someone at the late Foundation Establishment stage to possess such a movement technique indicated an extraordinary origin.

Upon further reflection, he realized that no matter how extraordinary the origin, it would be impossible to escape from those two individuals.

Amid their sighs, they heard a voice coming from the entrance of the cave:

“It seems everyone is alright.”

The five of them were startled because the voice belonged to Jiang Hao.
