Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 360

Chapter 360: Mingyue Sect is Coming

“Master, are you letting it down so early? Shouldn’t you hang it for a few more days?”

The rabbit stood beside Jiang Hao and asked.

“I can’t,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

Rabbit: “How about three more days?”

Jiang Hao ignored it.

Rabbit: “Two days?”

Jiang Hao walked away.

The rabbit followed: “One day, surely one day is okay?”

Are we bargaining at a vegetable market? Jiang Hao glanced at the rabbit.

He then watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

And also watered the Peach Tree.

The tree had already started bearing fruit, and in a month or two, the peaches would be ripe for eating.

By then, he would also know how many spirit stones were needed for its rebirth.

Based on past experience, it would probably be around twenty thousand.

Looking at his own twenty-two thousand spirit stones, Jiang Hao felt reassured.

However, he planned to earn some more in the next month or two, just in case.

At the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao heard from Senior Sister Miao that she almost became the champion.

“Almost? Did you lose to Baiyue Lake at the end?” he asked curiously.

“No, I lost to someone from the Hall of Enforcement at Law Enforcement Peak,” Miao Tinglian said regretfully.

“The second place has rewards too, right?”

“Yes, but I encountered someone from the Hall of Enforcement right at the start.”

“…”

Is that what you call almost becoming the champion?

“Since he was the champion, wasn’t I close?”

“…”

“What about Senior Brother Mu Qi?” Jiang Hao asked again.

“Mu Qi is attempting to reach Nascent Soul, he didn’t participate,” Miao Tinglian said with some regret.

Then she remembered something:

“Junior Brother, how old are you this year?”

“Twenty-seven,” Jiang Hao said.

He wasn’t young anymore.

Unknowingly, he had gone from nineteen to twenty-seven, and in a few years, he would be thirty.

“Not too young, have you considered finding a Dao companion? I recently brought back a girl from the outer sect who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. She’s very charming, pure, and a virgin. She could stay with you in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. She would be very suitable for Junior Brother,” Miao Tinglian said with a smile.

Jiang Hao: “…”

Does Senior Sister Miao do anything other than matchmaking?

Too idle for comfort.

“Think about it? Want to meet her?” Miao Tinglian pressed.

At this moment, Jiang Hao carefully looked around, found Senior Brother Mu Qi, and walked over to him.

“Senior Brother, I have some things I’d like to ask you about.”

Miao Tinglian: “…”

Jiang Hao indeed had questions. He wanted to know who the champions were this time.

“From our sect, we have a Junior Brother Han Ming as a Foundation Establishment champion, and there’s also one from Hengliu Waterfall, one from Law Enforcement Peak, and one from Bingyue Valley. For Golden Core, there’s one from Law Enforcement Peak, Baiyue Lake, Hundred Bones Forest, and Candlelight Alchemy Court. The Nascent Soul champion hasn’t been decided yet; they’re still competing,” Mu Qi replied.

Jiang Hao nodded, meaning these people all had a chance to obtain the resources of a chief disciple.

He couldn’t help but remark, “Junior Brother Han Ming indeed has the makings of a chief disciple.”

Mu Qi smiled slightly without saying anything.

Jiang Hao was looking forward to Han Ming pursuing the position of chief disciple; by then, he should have become one himself.

To safely pursue the position, one could only advance within the normal range.

Han Ming was an example.

Being slightly faster than him was considered reasonable.

If one person advanced too quickly, it would be very conspicuous, but if there were two, it would seem ordinary.

“By the way, there’s another benefit to becoming a champion this time, which is a certain chance to have an early exchange with people from Mingyue Sect,” Mu Qi mentioned.

“I’ve heard about that too.”

Miao Tinglian joined Mu Qi and said, “I’ve heard that people from the Mingyue Sect have already arrived in the south and have started visiting the major sects. They’re personally visiting every sect that received an invitation before. Our sect has received an invitation too. So, in a few days, people from the Mingyue Sect will come.”

People from the Mingyue Sect are coming?

Jiang Hao immediately thought of “Xing”

Would he come personally or send someone else?

Regardless, Jiang Hao felt that the Mingyue Sect’s visit this time was for Gu Qing.

Speaking of which, it seems that Gu Qing has already gone to the mines.

After all, the Tianyin Sect doesn’t know her other worth.

It’s just uncertain whether she can endure becoming a Qi Refining cultivator.

Gu Qing has some impression of him, and if she is taken away by “Xing’s” people, it’s uncertain whether it will have an impact.

Thinking about it carefully, the likelihood is not high.

In the end, he is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He just needs to give Chu Chuan a heads-up these days; with the Mingyue Sect’s people coming, it’s very likely that Chu Jie will ask them to find Chu Chuan.

There are some things he doesn’t wish for Chu Chuan to divulge.

Also, Lin Zhi needs to avoid these people too.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt quite emotional; he didn’t realize he had so many troubles now.

“How long will it take for the Mingyue Sect to get here?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It should take quite some time.”

Mu Qi pondered for a moment and said, “They will stay at each sect for some time, and our location is relatively remote. It’s highly likely that we will be the last to be visited.”

“It might not even be this year before they reach us,” Miao Tinglian said.

Jiang Hao nodded in agreement, going one by one and staying a while at each.

The south is so vast, with numerous sects, it will definitely take a lot of time.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but marvel at the patience of the people from the Mingyue Sect.

It’s just uncertain how long Gu Qing in the mines will last.

……

On the edge of Youyun Prefecture.

A fairy dressed in a green immortal dress slowly descended.

“Back to Tianyin Sect again? I wonder if there will be any gains.”

Bi Zhu looked around.

To get another Snow God Pill, she specifically came to search for traces of destiny.

“But ‘Jing’ should be near the Tianyin Sect; if it had been found, they would have mentioned it by now. Could it be that it’s not here?” Bi Zhu was somewhat puzzled.

Out of curiosity, she still planned to investigate.

She didn’t know the identity of “Jing”, but she always remembered that purple light.

And it was after the purple light that Tianbei Mountain went to the Blood Tide Forest.

She suspected that “Jing” finished his own business and then had time for other things.

The peerless genius could very well be him.

There’s no evidence, and even the basis is somewhat far-fetched.

But based on intuition, she believed so.

Thinking this, she began to use a secret method.

No response.

Then she changed locations.

And tried again.

Still no response.

By evening.

She didn’t know how many places she had changed, how many mountain tops she had visited.

Yet, there were no gains.

At that moment, she suddenly heard people talking.

“I heard that person has already set off to find the great destiny, and as long as we don’t leave this place marked by destiny, we can gain something.”

“I always feel we’re being used, no, we should leave here first.”

“Used? Why do you say that?”

“That person used the traces of destiny here; do you think it’s possible that we could suffer a backlash?”

“Uh, but didn’t Elder Mu say there might be danger? If you want to take a chance, you can stay; if you’re scared, you can leave.”

Bi Zhu looked at those people, some cultivators with rather chaotic auras.

Clearly, their understanding of destiny must be very limited.

Their understanding of other things must also be limited. Especially curses.

Because she saw a hint of red light on these people, a curse of bad luck.

Although very slight, it made her wary.

Then she performed the secret method again and got a response.

There really were traces of destiny here.

But they were tainted with the curse of bad luck.

Why would this be?

A sense of unease appeared in her heart.

She immediately retreatdand, then went to find someone on the stone slabs.
