Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Feeling a bit inflated, contemplating killing Yan Hua

【Jing Ru: A true disciple of Fenglei Sect, in the mid-stage of Golden Core cultivation, entered the Tianyin Sect mine using the same method as Situ Jian. Seeing that you don’t seem like a ruthless person, she deliberately let you discover the Mountain Moving Talisman and the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman. Both talismans are primers, and whether they are destroyed or not, as long as they are not in a fixed place, they can perfect the location. Then they will summon strong allies to destroy the Tianyin Sect mine from inside and out, and incidentally rescue people and leave. She has secretly communicated through the spirit talismans, and the location will be perfected within half a month.】

So she used me because I don’t seem like a bad person?

Jiang Hao sighed; this wasn’t the first time this had happened.

However, with half a month left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he continued mining, he could quickly advance to the mid-stage of Golden Core.

With mid-stage cultivation and the Primordial Heaven Saber, he could avoid Yan Hua’s scrutiny.

As for the attack from Xuantian Sect…

He wasn’t sure if he could avoid it, but by then, as long as he didn’t confront Situ Jian and the others, it would be much safer.

What concerned him was that he couldn’t inform others of the news.

So far, he hadn’t found the runes in the mine, and reporting it would be unclear.

Otherwise, it would be much safer.

Danger was approaching, and Jiang Hao dared not hesitate.

He began to mine vigorously.

Jiang Hao’s diligence was incomprehensible to others.

This new steward seemed to be genuinely enthusiastic, not just for a day or two.

Seeing the steward’s diligence, the others felt they couldn’t rest either and began to mine as well.

Because the more progress they made, the better their dinner would be.

……

Three days later.

Jiang Hao finished mining.

Today, almost all the blue bubbles were wasted.

Because apart from the two in the morning, the rest couldn’t be accumulated by the panel.

However, for the sake of the white and green bubbles, he didn’t stop.

Most importantly, he couldn’t let others see anything unusual.

After all, he would have to continue mining later, and if he was lucky, he might have a chance to move up a level.

During these days, he didn’t act hastily, resting when it was time to rest and mining when it was time to mine.

Occasionally, he would also check on the people in the mine.

“After it’s over, I can go back and get promoted tonight.”

As for Situ Jian and the others, he had appraised them all.

Shangguan Wen was indeed very dangerous, although only in the early stage of Golden Core, his talent was extraordinary, able to control every inch of his body and strength.

His explosive power was terrifying, and his presence could be reduced to an almost undetectable level.

If you’re not careful, he could blend in with the stones at the edge, leading to a misperception.

Today, Jiang Hao is still walking at the back, inspecting the ground with every step.

Still, he finds nothing.

He can only marvel at the astonishing methods of those outside; even after learning the Nameless Secret Manual, he can’t detect anything.

Perhaps with complete mastery, he might discover something.

Unfortunately, time is short, and even with Clear Heart and Pure Mind, success won’t come overnight.

As an inner disciple here to help, Jiang Hao has a simple courtyard.

But since he has to check around at night, he rarely rests.

However, today, rest is not an option.

In the courtyard, some spiritual herbs sway in the wind, which Jiang Hao had found nearby and brought back to cultivate.

It’s a habit, and he hopes to see some bubbles.

Whether it’s strength or spirit, either would be good.

After hesitating, he places the magical hoe in the courtyard.

He isn’t sure if the hoe has any surveillance mechanisms, so it’s better not to keep it close during his promotion.

Back in his room, Jiang Hao checks his status panel.

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

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

Seeing that it’s at one hundred, he chooses to extract and cultivate.

In an instant, a vast amount of spiritual energy and vital essence floods into his body.

This is the most substantial spiritual energy Jiang Hao has felt since he began cultivating.

The Primordial Heart Sutra starts to operate, guiding the spiritual energy and vital essence with Purple Qi.

After circulating through his meridians, the spiritual energy settles in his dantian, and the vital essence strengthens his body through all its channels.

At this moment, the Golden Core is nourished by the spiritual energy, growing stronger and more solid bit by bit.

It’s like an ordinary stone becoming denser, and when this density becomes tangible, all the spiritual energy calms down.

Mid-stage Golden Core.

It went smoother than expected, and without pausing, he continues to circulate his energy to consolidate his cultivation.

He also extracts the remaining cultivation to prepare for any unexpected events that may come too soon.

……

Dawn.

Jiang Hao opens his eyes and takes out the Primordial Heavenly Saber.

As he grips the sword, the first form seems to appear and disappear.

For a moment, Jiang Hao feels a powerful sword intent.

This strong sensation once again brings him peace of mind.

So, should he take the initiative to look for Yan Hua?

After hesitating, he decides against it.

Yan Hua is not in the mine at night, and killing outside the mine would attract the Hall of Enforcement.

It would be easy for Liu Xingchen to notice.

He’ll wait for a good opportunity.

With a decision made, he leaves his room to continue mining.

Mining is the real shortcut to collecting bubbles, and for a moment, he considers staying here long-term.

But the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower matter is too significant, and it feels too dangerous not to return.

Just as he thinks of this, Jiang Hao sees a red figure in the courtyard.

Startled, he goes on guard, but upon closer inspection, he realizes it’s that female demon.

“Why is she here?”

Jiang Hao is somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Hong Yuye is examining the hoe, seemingly doing something.

After noticing Jiang Hao, she turns her gaze to him.

“Are you surprised?”

“Greetings, senior.”

Jiang Hao quickly bows respectfully.

“Yes, somewhat surprised.”

Since he’s not at home, he never expected this woman to come.

It’s far beyond his expectations.

“Where’s my flower?”

Hong Yuye asks expressionlessly.

“It’s at my residence,” Jiang Hao replies, a bit worried.

Hong Yuye stares at Jiang Hao for a long time, then speaks again.

“What about the tea I asked for?”

Jiang Hao: “…”
