Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Re-Appraisal of Hong Yuye

“Senior Sister, you’ve been concerned for nothing. The mine trip went smoothly,” Jiang Hao said insincerely.

During the trip to the mines, Yan Hua from the Tiansheng Sect put a lot of pressure on him.

And this Senior Sister in front of him was also an undercover agent from Tiansheng Sect.

“I’ve heard about it. Not only did Junior Brother come back safe, but you also made a great contribution,” Fairy Ming Yi’s face was brimming with smiles, and then she handed a potted plant to Jiang Hao.

“Junior Brother, could you take a look at this spiritual medicine for me? I feel like it’s been wilting lately. I bought it from your place.”

“Bai Li Xiang?” Jiang Hao took the pot and said in surprise.

“This spiritual medicine is extremely vigorous in life; it shouldn’t have any problems. Did Senior Sister do something to it?”

As he asked, Jiang Hao led the way to the loft of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Along the way, he collected some bubbles.

【Strength+1】

【Endurance+1】

【Ordinary Spiritual Sword+1】

Feeling the slight changes, Jiang Hao arrived at the loft.

At this moment, he placed the potted plant aside. It was a purple flower with seven petals, aptly named Bai Li Xiang.

Although it didn’t literally spread its fragrance for a hundred miles, it wasn’t difficult to fill the courtyard with its scent.

The fragrance had a slight effect on focusing the mind.

Because its effect on cultivation wasn’t that strong, the price was also not expensive.

To say that it was bought from their Spiritual Medicine Garden was an exaggeration; they only supplied spiritual medicines according to orders.

Many were given away or allocated.

“Thinking about it carefully, I didn’t do anything special; it just ended up like this while I was raising it,” Fairy Ming Yi pondered all the way but couldn’t come to any useful conclusion.

“No harm, I’ll take a look,” Jiang Hao didn’t mind.

He used his spiritual energy to try and comb through the Bai Li Xiang.

Soon he discovered that the roots of the Bai Li Xiang were damaged, seemingly due to an excess of spiritual energy.

“Does Senior Sister have a Blue Lotus in the courtyard?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Indeed, I do. Is there a connection?” Fairy Ming Yi inquired.

“There is a bit. Next time, don’t place it next to the Blue Lotus. When one spiritual medicine disperses and the other gathers, they will repel each other, and over time, one of them will have problems,” Jiang Hao explained simply.

After identifying the problem, he began to try and treat the root issue.

“Junior Brother, you’ve offended quite a few people lately,” Fairy Ming Yi suddenly said.

Jiang Hao looked up at her and then lowered his head again to tend to the spiritual medicine.

“Senior Sister, why do you say that?”

“I had just come out of seclusion when I heard that Junior Brother had offended Tianhuan Pavilion because of a traitor. Upon closer inquiry, it seems to be no small matter,” Fairy Ming Yi rested her chin on her hands as she looked at the spiritual medicine, speaking casually.

“But it seems Junior Brother can handle it. However, I’ve recently heard that Junior Brother has gotten involved with Tiansheng Sect. Oh, Junior Brother might not know? After an investigation, it seems that Yan Hua might belong to Tiansheng Sect.”

“After her disappearance, some puppets also started acting up, so the Hall of Enforcement found out quite a bit of information. As far as I know, some people from Tiansheng Sect have their eyes on Junior Brother. Because it seems like Yan Hua has truly vanished from the human world, and Junior Brother was the last person to see her.”

“Some from Tiansheng Sect believe that Yan Hua has betrayed the sect and given something important to Junior Brother. Although I don’t know if this news is true or false, Junior Brother should be more careful when going out in the future.”

Jiang Hao looked astonished; this time he wasn’t pretending, it was truly hard to imagine.

So, the other party was also worried about a traitor.

But what important thing could Yan Hua have had on her?

‘Is she trying to probe me?’

At this moment, Fairy Ming Yi didn’t let Jiang Hao speak; she continued:

“Do you think that’s all? I remember Junior Brother has made significant achievements this time, right? It’s about Xuanyuan Tai from Xuantian Sect. Do you think that Man Long Senior Brother kindly gave you credit out of goodwill? Have you ever thought about who Xuantian Sect blames for the capture of Xuanyuan Tai?”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao was startled. Liu Xingchen had warned him that he might have offended Xuantian Sect.

But no one had mentioned Man Long.

So… Could it be that Man Long gave up the credit to find a scapegoat?

Indeed, none of the top ten disciples were easy to deal with.

Afterward, he sent away Ming Yi Senior Sister.

Before she left, he wanted to evaluate her, but he was called away by his Master.

Regarding the Tiansheng Sect, Ming Yi’s words cannot be fully trusted.

“Let’s do it tomorrow, Bai Li Xiang needs to be processed one more time.”

However, the Xuantian Sect indeed requires attention.

But since the Luoxia Sect has already been offended, adding the Xuantian Sect isn’t that much more exaggerated.

At worst, just don’t go out.

As long as the Hall of Enforcement hangs his name for a hundred years, any grievances can be easily resolved.

If they can’t resolve it themselves, then he can help resolve it.

What he’s afraid of now is that there might be Xuantian Sect spies within the Tianyin Sect.

But first, he needs to find out the rewards for the big competition.

His Master told him that in a couple of days, the rewards for Foundation Establishment would be displayed.

Because he has merits, as long as he doesn’t lose too badly, he will have the priority to choose one.

If he becomes a mid-stage Foundation Establishment victor, there will be additional merit rewards.

The reward Jiang Hao cares about for Foundation Establishment is that seed, which he needs to appraise in a couple of days.

In the evening, Jiang Hao returned to his residence and sat in the courtyard, looking outside.

The way to eliminate the hatred of others is to become stronger as quickly as possible.

But the fastest way to become stronger…

Jiang Hao took out a hoe and sighed.

“I really want to go mining.”

Bang!

A sudden noise came, and turning his head, he saw a white figure crashing into the wall.

It was a rabbit that had fallen to the ground, now unconscious.

Its nose was blue and its face swollen, seriously injured.

Looking towards the direction of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, there was an elegant figure that had appeared at some point.

Dressed in red, her expression was calm.

“It seems like you really enjoy mining,” Hong Yuye said, her gaze resting on Jiang Hao.

Especially on the hoe.

“You flatter me, senior,” Jiang Hao put away the hoe and stood up respectfully:

“I was just reminiscing about the hard days of mining.”

“You seem quite accustomed to lying,” Hong Yuye said, no longer paying attention to Jiang Hao, and bent down to touch the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, which had three tender leaves.

“This flower is growing quite fast.”

Jiang Hao looked at her, hesitated, but still wanted to appraise her.
