Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: About to Get Rich Soon

Hearing the name Jiang Hao, Han Ming’s head buzzed.

He couldn’t figure out why Jiang Hao, who was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, could rank in the top ten for achievements.

It didn’t make sense.

What was even harder for him to accept was that he had just been bragging about his own achievements to Jiang Hao during the day.

And by evening, he found that his own achievements were insignificant in comparison.

It gave him a sense of defeat.

He thought he could surpass the other, but instead, he was pressed down again.

When would he be able to trample this Senior Brother underfoot?

The more he remembered Jiang Hao’s calm demeanor today, the more he wanted to return the favor in kind.

“Jiang Hao? Who is that?” Ji Wu asked with some curiosity.

“I’ve heard of him,” Fairy Fei Zhu said uncertainly.

“He should be a Junior Brother at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. I’ve seen him in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.”

“Yes, that’s him,” Mu Qi confirmed.

“Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment?” Ji Wu said in disbelief.

“How could someone with such cultivation make it into the top ten achievements of the sect?”

Han Ming perked up. He wanted to know why as well.

Or rather, on what basis?

“A few days ago, the mine was attacked. Powerhouses from Xuantian Sect and Fenglei Sect joined forces to strike at the mine. During the conflict, a Man Long from the Hengliu lineage fought with Xuantian Sect’s pride, Xuanyuan Tai.”

“Xuanyuan Tai played a pivotal role in the battle; his physique allowed more powerhouses to retreat. As long as he left first, it was as good as winning half the battle.”

“It was not easy for our masters to repel his protectors, giving Man Long a chance. Unfortunately, in the end, Man Long was bound and could only watch helplessly as Xuanyuan Tai escaped.”

“It was at this moment that Junior Brother Jiang single-handedly stopped Xuanyuan Tai from leaving. Only then did Man Long have the chance to capture him alive,” Mu Qi explained roughly, and then added.

“Xuanyuan Tai has at least a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.”

At these words, everyone was shocked.

Late-stage Nascent Soul…

They didn’t even have the courage to face it.

For a moment, everyone bowed their heads in silence, with nothing to say.

Especially Han Ming, in the same situation, he might not be able to do anything.

“I remember Junior Brother Jiang’s name has always been on the Hall of Enforcement. Is he able to come down this time?” Fairy Fei Zhu asked.

“He could have, but Junior Brother Jiang got involved with the traitor Yan Hua, so the Hall of Enforcement won’t let him down,” Mu Qi said.

In fact, he felt that the Hall of Enforcement was deliberately not letting him down.

He didn’t know if it was to protect Jiang Hao or to prevent Jiang Hao from becoming a true disciple.

In his view, Jiang Hao’s performance and his cultivation were enough to become a true disciple.

The only drawback was that his talent was above average but lacking.

However, from his performance, there was a certain probability that the master would accept him.

Now it was impossible.

At this moment, Ku Wuchang interrupted their conversation, instructing:

“This time you all have benefited a lot. Make an effort later on; the competition among fellow disciples will start in a few months. There’s a chance to get good things, and there should be five items for each realm. There aren’t many from the twelve meridians who can fight.”

Several people nodded in agreement.

Han Ming wanted to participate, to at least prove himself outstanding.

……

Overnight, Jiang Hao finally comprehended the Healing Talisman.

With the support of his Golden Core cultivation, the success rate reached fifty percent.

With a few more days of practice, he should be able to reach eighty percent.

After that, it would come naturally.

It’s good to have high cultivation, but he couldn’t sell too many talismans, as it would be easy to notice something was amiss.

He couldn’t sell talismans used by Golden Core cultivators, only those needed by late-stage and complete Foundation Establishment.

The first three of the six premium talismans were of this kind.

He only needed to practice these three types of talismans. The Ten Thousand Swords Talisman could also be made in some quantity and sold well, considered a normal talisman for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Taking a breath of relief, Jiang Hao went out to the courtyard.

He glanced at the Half-Moon in the corner and remembered that he currently had no sword.

After collecting two bubbles, he glanced at his panel.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 21】

【Cultivation: Mid-stage Golden Core】

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

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

【Vital Energy: 6/100 (cannot be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 10/100 (can be cultivated)】

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

Poor numbers.

In the two days since leaving the mine, there had been little progress in cultivation and vitality.

“Let’s earn spirit stones first, buy the sword and tea leaves, then save up spirit stones to feed the rabbit.”

The rabbit would consume a lot of spirit stones, so he needed to prepare in advance.

“I wonder how many spirit stones the reward from Senior Brother Mu Qi will be.”

Leaving the courtyard, Jiang Hao headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The rabbit lying on the ground immediately jumped up and followed Jiang Hao out.

It shook the collar around its neck, only satisfied after turning it twice.

With its spiritual intelligence, it knew what it was and had no intention of destroying it; instead, it took pride in it.

It wasn’t a wild rabbit at all.

It had an owner at home, waiting to take care of it.

“Master, can I eat humans?” the rabbit asked on the road.

“Do humans taste good?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“Tasty.”

“Have you eaten one?”

“Never, but all the big demons like to eat humans, and everyone on the road knows I, Lord Rabbit, am a big demon.”

Jiang Hao looked down at the rabbit, contemplating whether to let it go as he stared at its collar.

He couldn’t accommodate a rabbit with such dreams.

Without further thought, he headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden, casually remarking.

“I don’t keep big demons.”

The rabbit adjusted its collar and said earnestly.

“Just kidding. I’m just an ordinary rabbit that likes to eat carrots, right, Master?”

Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly; this rabbit had no shame at all.

After a short while, in front of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao saw Mu Qi.

Seeing him, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

He had been poor for a long time.
