Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: The Foolish Woman

The behavior of this woman surprised some of the onlookers.

Of course, Jiang Hao’s actions were even more astonishing; injured people got Vital Energy Pills?

Why hadn’t this been mentioned earlier?

“Why should I give you a Vital Energy Pill?”

Jiang Hao asked the woman in front of him.

She had a good figure and wasn’t bad-looking.

Judging by her cultivation, she seemed to have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and she was young, indicating good talent.

Her living environment must also be quite good, otherwise, how could she be so foolish?

In the lower echelons of the cultivation world, everyone had a sense of awe, because those who lacked it were dead.

This woman had no sense of awe, yet she was still alive, indicating she was born noble and lacked understanding.

When it comes down to it, it was her family who spoiled her.

With just a bit of discipline, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“He’s injured, I’m injured too, why do I only get a Pain Relieving Talisman, and he gets a Vital Energy Pill?” Ren Shuang asked defiantly.

Seeing Jiang Hao give a Vital Energy Pill to a miner and not being difficult, she saw no reason to be afraid.

She was the daughter of an elder of the Xuantian Sect, why should she be worse off than a miner?

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao pressed his Half-Moon blade against Ren Shuang’s neck, not unsheathed, but he didn’t care.

“Can you mine?” he asked expressionlessly.

“I’m injured, I can’t mine,” Ren Shuang said defiantly, seeing the blade was not drawn.

Whoosh!

The blade flashed, cutting open Ren Shuang’s neck, blood spurting out.

The sudden cut frightened Ren Shuang.

She clutched her neck, feeling a chill all over.

“Can you mine?” Jiang Hao asked in the same tone.

“Yes, yes,” Ren Shuang nodded tremblingly, her hand covering the wound already drenched in blood.

She could feel that if she dared to say no, her head would fall to the ground.

“Then that’s fine,” Jiang Hao withdrew his blade and turned to leave.

After instructing Wu Jing to drag the demonic beast away, he told the others to continue mining.

He then collected two blue orbs and picked up a hoe to start working.

Naturally, the others also got to work.

Only Ren Shuang was left clutching her neck, trying to stop the bleeding.

Jing Ru glanced at Jiang Hao, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if things were not quite as she had expected.

Shangguan Wen quietly continued mining, his thoughts unknown to anyone.

After what had just happened, everyone seemed a bit fearful of Jiang Hao and worked hard at mining.

By the end, the output had increased by thirty percent.

This left Wu Jing, who was supervising, in disbelief, as he had never seen the miners so diligent.

But he could understand, as he too had been intimidated by Jiang Hao.

It proved that inner disciples were not to be trifled with.

Seeing the results, Yan Hua also smiled.

“Junior Brother Jiang is truly remarkable, the more one sees, the more one likes.”

“Senior Sister Yan flatters me,” Jiang Hao said modestly.

“By the way, about those four people from before, did you find anything?” Yan Hua suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao shook his head.

Apart from the divine ability to identify, he really hadn’t discovered anything.

He didn’t know why it was so secretive.

It made him want to continue to work hard to comprehend the Nameless Secret Manual, but unfortunately, due to the significant events in the coming days, he could only choose to consolidate his cultivation.

Two days later, Jiang Hao appraised Jing Ru again.

The answer he got was that the location would be determined by tomorrow, and then they would strike the mine in one fell swoop.

The outside would be a battlefield, and it was dangerous whether to go out or not.

“Tomorrow, huh.”

Sitting in the room, Jiang Hao glanced at the panel.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 21】

【Cultivation: Golden Core Mid Stage】

【Cultivation Techniques: Tianyin Hundred Revolutions, Primordial Heart Sutra】

【Divine Abilities: Nine Revolutions Death Replacement (unique), Daily Appraisal, Clear Heart and Pure Mind】

【Vital Energy: 70/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 75/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 2/3 (cannot be acquired)】

“Even with tomorrow, it’s not enough; even if I start mining now, it would take two days to fully accumulate.”

“Even if I accumulate enough, it would take a whole night to break through, and there’s simply not enough time.”

Jiang Hao fell silent, just three days short.

He sighed and went to find Wu Yuanwu to inquire if there were any other arrangements for the mine.

He didn’t receive any news to be on guard.

He also wandered around the area. There were quite a few at the Golden Core stage, and occasionally there was a Senior Brother above Golden Core, but compared to the plans of Xuantian Sect, these people were not enough.

He didn’t know if the Tianyin Sect had noticed anything.

If not, could he switch sides at the critical moment?

In fact, he couldn’t. Such a defection would bring no benefits, and once outside, he would be at the mercy of others.

“It seems I can only try to avoid disaster and extract all my cultivation and vital energy to ensure I get through tomorrow.”

Although it was a pity, tomorrow’s event was too significant, and if he fell short and into danger, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Especially since he had to be wary of Yan Hua.

After extracting all his cultivation and vital energy, Jiang Hao felt he was very close to the late Golden Core stage.

Unfortunately, he ultimately couldn’t step into it.

As daylight broke, he left his residence.

He glanced at the spiritual herbs in the courtyard, thinking they probably couldn’t be taken with him.

Once the Xuantian Sect and others attacked, this place would be unavoidable.

Transplanting them in advance might draw attention, so he decided against it.

He couldn’t leave any obvious traces.

He wanted to pass the message on, but to whom?

It wouldn’t mean much to those with too weak cultivation.

And if their cultivation was too strong, he would likely be discovered.

Arriving at the mine, Jiang Hao saw Yan Hua.

This time, he could clearly sense her pleasure, even unabashedly sizing him up.

In an instant, Jiang Hao understood.

Yan Hua knew, so she would be waiting outside today, ready to find him the moment anything happened.

“Junior Brother, don’t run around after you enter the cave, okay? If you encounter something you can’t handle, remember to wait for me,” Yan Hua said with a smile.

“Otherwise, you might get hurt.”

Jiang Hao nodded, not saying anything more.

He led the people into the mine.
