Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Invisible Means, Sealing Your Cultivation

The Demon Sect is different from the immortal sects.

Normal people, if given a choice, would not come here; only those with no other options would try their luck with the Demon Sect.

After all, the Demon Sect also practices cultivation, allowing one to fly and live a long life.

There are towns and families nearby that also have no choice but to live under the shadow of the Tianyin Sect and cooperate with it.

Jiang Hao was thus sold into the Tianyin Sect.

……

After Liu Xingchen left, Jiang Hao continued on his way.

He needed to pay attention to the Spiritual Medicine Garden and see what Hundred Bones Forest was up to.

Since Liu Xingchen had come to warn him, it meant that there was indeed a risk.

“If only all the undercover agents around me were like Liu Xingchen,” Jiang Hao muttered to himself.

But thinking back, it had been a long time since he encountered that female demon.

He glanced at his panel.

【Name: Jiang Hao】

【Age: 22】

【Cultivation: Late Golden Core Stage】

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

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

【Vital Energy: 77/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 71/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Divine Abilities: 0/3 (cannot be acquired)】

“Twenty-two years old, huh.”

He still remembered congratulating himself when he turned twenty.

It felt like just yesterday.

However, Hong Yuye hadn’t appeared for half a year, and during this time, his heart had been at peace for quite a while.

He wanted to see her again.

That way, he could know to what extent his normal self could remain calm.

Without Hong Yuye, he had actually constantly been in a “sage” state.

It was hard to clearly perceive the weaknesses in his state of mind.

“I’m somewhat looking forward to her arrival.”

……

Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Many people were gathered at the Spiritual Medicine Garden, bustling about.

At the center of these people was an indifferent fairy.

She was dressed in off-white clothing, with a simple bun atop her head, and delicate features.

Ning Xuan.

One of the true disciples of Duanqing Cliff, Jiang Hao had only seen this Senior Sister once before.

At that time, he didn’t know her cultivation level, but now it seemed she was quite extraordinary.

She must have surpassed the Golden Core stage.

But with just one glance, he looked away, so he wasn’t certain.

Facing such a person, he didn’t dare to observe too much, as it could easily bring trouble upon himself.

“Greetings, Senior Sister.”

Jiang Hao approached her and politely bowed his head.

“Mm.” Ning Xuan nodded indifferently and then slowly spoke.

“Hundred Bones Forest is going to plant some spiritual herbs here. I’ve heard you have some misunderstandings with them. If there’s any issue with the herbs this time, remember my name. You just need to help with leading the way and allocating a suitable area.”

Ning Xuan treated Jiang Hao neither with special regard nor disdain, just very ordinarily.

Regarding his top ten merit last time, she naturally had her speculations.

Man Long seemed rough and bold, but in reality, he was quite scheming.

Why would he give out merit for no reason?

It was just to protect himself.

Plus, with some of the older generation’s comments in the sect, she naturally understood that this Junior Brother might be heading for disaster.

So there was no need for her to care.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded in agreement.

He didn’t let the indifferent tone and dismissive look in her eyes affect his emotions.

If she had been all smiles, it would have actually been more alarming.

Afterward, Ning Xuan turned and left without further instructions.

“Junior Brother Jiang.”

A mature woman approached Jiang Hao and politely said.

“This time, I’m in charge of the spiritual herbs from Hundred Bones Forest. You can just call me Lian Qin.”

“Senior Sister Lian.” Jiang Hao greeted her with a bow.

With just one look, he knew that this woman was not comparable to Li Kai; she was a Golden Core early-stage powerhouse.

It was unbelievable that a Golden Core-level powerhouse would be mobilized just to handle the transfer of spiritual herbs.

“This batch of spiritual herbs is quite precious, so I need to be hands-on. I might trouble Junior Brother quite a bit,” Lian Qin said softly.

“If Junior Brother finds any place unsuitable for planting, you can have someone find me, and I can transplant them. Also, we’re not only planting in the Spiritual Medicine Garden but also in the woods. We will set up the defensive formations ourselves.”

This Senior Sister looked to be almost thirty, with a somewhat pale complexion, likely related to her cultivation method.

Her appearance was naturally not bad, and her tone was even nicer.

‘If Hundred Bones Forest is really targeting me this time, it might be a bit difficult to handle.’

Unlike Li Kai, if he wanted something, he would say it directly, with clear intentions.

But with this Senior Sister in front of him, he had no idea what her true purpose was.

“Senior Sister Lian is too kind. I will certainly do my best to help,” Jiang Hao said.

After that, the people from Hundred Bones Forest planted some spiritual herbs in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, some of which Jiang Hao had seen before and some he hadn’t.

He decided to look up some information carefully.

Later, they also planted a strange kind of spiritual herb and trees under Duanqing Cliff.

……

It was a busy day.

Jiang Hao followed the whole process and didn’t notice anything unusual.

In the evening, the people from Hundred Bones Forest had finished their departure.

This left Jiang Hao feeling surprised.

“Just like that?”

The spiritual medicine was fine, and if there were any problems, it would be Senior Sister Ning Xuan who would take responsibility, which felt somewhat unreal to him.

“Am I overthinking it?”

Regarding this, Jiang Hao could only wait and see.

For the following seven days, he observed the Hundred Bones Forest spiritual medicine and continued his talisman crafting and cultivation practice.

His cultivation in the later stages had now solidified, and reaching perfection was not far off.

Roughly another three months to go.

Then he could attempt to comprehend the third form of the Heavenly Saber.

And over these days, he had checked the spiritual medicine; there were no issues.

Hundred Bones Forest had made no moves either.

Today, Jiang Hao planned to cultivate as he intended to visit the market tomorrow to purchase materials for talisman crafting.

Currently, he has only a little over two hundred spirit stones.

He never seemed to get rich.

Just as he sat down to cultivate, he felt a sharp pain in his meridians.

Startled, he immediately opened his eyes.

“What’s going on?”

In the past, running the Primordial Heart Sutra never caused any issues.

He immediately checked his body but found nothing amiss.

He tried running the Primordial Heart Sutra again, yet the sensation of pain and blockage persisted.

“Appraisal.”

Stopping his cultivation, Jiang Hao immediately performed a self-diagnosis.

However, his status appeared normal.

Apart from being poisoned by the Tianjue Gu, there were no other issues.

“If it’s not a problem with my body, then what could it be?”

If he had to pinpoint any changes this week, it would be the planting of some spiritual medicine by Hundred Bones Forest.

And Liu Xingchen had said that one could fall into Bai Ye’s trap without realizing it.

The next day.

Jiang Hao immediately went to check on the spiritual medicine planted in the forest by Hundred Bones Forest.

“Appraisal.”

【Thousand Feather Flower: The leaves of the Thousand Feather Flower contain continuous spiritual energy, which can be used to alleviate conflicts between spiritual medicines during alchemy. One of Bai Ye’s proud creations, it uses intangible means to seal your cultivation progress.】

Bai Ye…

Such methods were unheard of by Jiang Hao, no wonder this person was considered dangerous.

“I need to find out where he is and also check his cultivation level.”

While going to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, he asked Cheng Chou to find Fairy Lian Qin and disrupt the placement of the spiritual medicines.

To see if that would have any effect.

Fairy Lian Qin arrived very quickly, and upon hearing what Jiang Hao said, she did not hesitate or make any excuses.

She simply asked where would be suitable, and she would transplant them there.
