Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Faster Promotion than Mining

“Junior Brother, do you still sense any problems?”

Fairy Lian Qin asked politely.

Her attitude was so good that Jiang Hao couldn’t find any faults.

In the end, he could only shake his head and let her go back.

After waiting a few days, Jiang Hao began to cultivate, but just like before, as soon as he started, his meridians began to ache faintly.

……

The next day.

He appraised the Thousand Feather Flower again, and the result was exactly the same as before.

Does this mean that no matter how it’s transplanted, the final result won’t be affected?

“How did he do it?”

Bai Ye was becoming somewhat unfathomable.

This time he didn’t ask anyone to find Fairy Lian Qin. It was useless to do so.

Since the other party was so cooperative, it meant they didn’t care about the disruption of the placement.

No wonder it was considered a proud creation.

……

Another day passed.

Jiang Hao began to cultivate, and this time, while feeling the faint pain in his meridians, he distracted himself to perform an appraisal on himself.

Sure enough, something else appeared.

【Current Status: Afflicted with Tianjue Gu poison and Bai Ye’s Spirit Sealing Technique. The Spirit Sealing Technique, created by Bai Ye, utilizes the properties, flavors, and spiritual energy of spiritual medicines in an intangible, colorless, and unguarded manner. Planting a Black Lotus nearby can break the seal.】

Seeing the appraisal result, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The solution was found.

However, Black Lotus was not easy to find. He needed to make a trip to Xuelian Pavilion.

But this was not a long-term solution; he still needed to find Bai Ye and ascertain his cultivation level.

As soon as day broke, Jiang Hao headed to Xuelian Pavilion; Black Lotus seeds cost three hundred spirit stones.

He left behind a Healing Talisman, sold everything else, and finally bought the Black Lotus seeds.

The next day, he appraised the seeds.

To see how to plant them for the fastest growth.

【Black Lotus Seed: Potent medicinal power, can be used to enhance cultivation once mature. Planting it will cause invisible fluctuations to spill out, affecting the stability of the surrounding spiritual energy. One bottle of spirit liquid daily, and it can take root and sprout after seven days.】

One bottle of spirit liquid every day?

Jiang Hao went to buy spirit liquid, thirty spirit stones per bottle.

It cost him two hundred and one in total.

Now, he was penniless.

The cost of planting the Black Lotus was exorbitantly high.

……

Seven days later

A black lotus broke through the soil, and as a result, Jiang Hao received a blue bubble.

Looking at the bubble, he suddenly started calculating.

Five hundred spirit stones for one blue bubble.

If he had fifty thousand now, would he be able to get a hundred bubbles in seven days?

If he had a hundred thousand, could he advance in rank every seven days?

This was even faster than mining.

The key issue was, where could he find these hundred thousand spirit stones?

After collecting the bubble, Jiang Hao tried to cultivate.

Indeed, the stabbing pain did not occur again.

The person named Bai Ye had delayed him for nearly a month. Truly a fearsome individual.

“Master, why did you plant so many lotuses?” the rabbit asked, shaking the collar around its neck:

“Snow lotuses, blue lotuses, black lotuses, next time do you want to plant a white lotus?”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao was startled and took a closer look. It was true.

There weren’t many spiritual medicines in the yard, but lotuses accounted for three of them.

“If I collect seven lotuses, I wonder if anything unusual will happen.”

Jiang Hao murmured softly.

“What did the master say?” the rabbit asked curiously.

“Nothing, let’s go to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.” Jiang Hao left the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Since Hundred Bones Forest had already made a move, there wouldn’t be much action to follow.

Tianhuan Pavilion was still waiting for the right moment, so as he moved around the various places of the sect, he wouldn’t be troubled.

Taking this opportunity, he wanted to investigate Bai Ye.

“I heard people say that the master’s name appeared in the sect’s tasks to recruit new disciples. Can I go? I need to let them recognize the future great demon, Lord Rabbit,” the rabbit said excitedly and expectantly.

Imagining the complexity of recruiting disciples, Jiang Hao flatly refused.

“No.”

However, he hadn’t even noticed the sect tasks coming out, these days the matter with Bai Ye had left him mentally exhausted.

He wasn’t strong enough and had no one behind him, and he was extremely conspicuous.

Indeed, it was very difficult to survive in the Demon Sect like this. If it weren’t for his reliance, he would have hardly survived until now.

How did the others manage to live on?

Speaking of which, he was twenty-two years old.

He hadn’t even congratulated himself yet.

After shaking his head slightly with a hint of emotion, he arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

He went through the routine, collected bubbles, and tended to the spiritual medicines.

Then he went to the base of the Enforcement Peak to check his task.

【Duanqing Cliff’s Jiang Hao, to recruit new disciples, with a minimum of three hundred and a maximum of one thousand.】

Looking at the task, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised; there were so many?

“Is it because of the battle with Tianqing Mountain, which was quite costly?”

He remembered being sold into the Demon Sect, where they said he had to recruit at least a hundred disciples.

It was because they were short on numbers that they had to search everywhere.

And that’s how he was fortunate enough to become an outer disciple.

Although new disciples could be recruited casually, they must have the aptitude for cultivation, otherwise, they wouldn’t count.

The sect might turn a blind eye to one or two without aptitude, but not to many.

This task didn’t seem easy.

But he wasn’t the only one with this task.

Then he saw the names of four other people.

Bingyue Valley’s Zheng Shijiu.

Leihuo Peak’s Xin Yuyue.

Hundred Bones Forest’s Feng Baifei.

Hengliu Waterfall’s Le You.

“Two acquaintances, plus one from Hundred Bones Forest and one from Hengliu Waterfall.”

There shouldn’t be any problems with the two acquaintances, but Hundred Bones Forest was uncertain.

There had been no conflict with Hengliu Waterfall so far.

“I wonder if I can find out about Bai Ye from this Hundred Bones Forest disciple.”

This would depend on the opportunity and couldn’t be rushed.

He was still only in the late Golden Core stage.

Although he had accumulated a lot of cultivation, there was still some distance from perfection.

Afterward, he checked the time for recruiting disciples; it was in seven days.

It seemed that there was no need to prepare anything for this; previously, he was given a month to prepare for the demon cave.

Comparatively, it was clear which was more difficult.

……

Seven days later.

Before departure, his master called him over, apparently having something to entrust to him.

On the way, he glanced at his cultivation and vital energy.

【Vital Energy: 89/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 83/100 (can be cultivated)】

He was close to one hundred, only two months away from Golden Core perfection.

But he didn’t know how far he was from Bai Ye.

Shortly after.

“Master,” Jiang Hao said respectfully in front of Ku Wuchang.

“Are you going to recruit disciples today?” Ku Wuchang didn’t beat around the bush and directly said,

“This time when you recruit, bring back three with good talents to Duanqing Cliff.”

Bringing them back early means they can be accepted into the inner sect sooner.

Normally, outer disciples cultivate outside the twelve main meridians.

Once their cultivation is sufficient, they are selected by the various meridians to become inner sect disciples.

Of course, they can also take the initiative to request entry as long as their cultivation is enough.

By bringing them back early, there’s no worry about them being chosen by others.

This is a convenience only available to those who recruit disciples.

However, each can only take three. It won’t have too much of an impact.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao quickly nodded.

“What would you like?”

Ku Wuchang didn’t expect Jiang Hao to work for free.

Jiang Hao wanted to mine… he answered in his heart, but couldn’t say it out loud.

However, he wondered if his master would agree to remove the spiritual medicine from the Hundred Bones Forest.

He didn’t want to startle the snake just yet.

Once he understood Bai Ye’s cultivation level and his own strength was sufficient, he would make a trip to the Hundred Bones Forest.

One must not rush; it’s important to progress steadily and securely.
