Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: The Dragon Clan Comes to The Sect for a Meal

Taking advantage of the free time, he visited the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Upon entering, he heard the rabbit discussing with Cheng Chou which people were tasty.

“Sixteen-year-old rich girls are the most tender; they… they love to feed rabbits the best carrots. Lord Rabbit likes them so much, they always give face to Lord Rabbit.”

Under Cheng Chou’s astonished gaze, the rabbit turned to Jiang Hao at the entrance.

“Ah, master, you’re back? I was just enjoying some carrots, do you want some? They’re all selected for me by friends from the road.”

Saying this, it took a bite of a carrot from who knows where.

“Senior Brother Jiang,” Cheng Chou also immediately greeted with respect.

Ignoring the rabbit, Jiang Hao turned to Cheng Chou: “Any confusion with your cultivation?”

“There’s a little,” Cheng Chou said somewhat embarrassedly, raising a few questions.

Then Jiang Hao answered each one and finally said,

“You’re about to advance. It’s best to refine your cultivation recently to prevent accidents.”

“Yes, thank you, Senior Brother Jiang,” Cheng Chou said excitedly.

He had been stuck at the Qi Refining eighth level for too long. After Jiang Hao’s guidance, he was finally about to step into the ninth level.

As long as the Foundation Establishment was successful, he would be an inner disciple.

However… He still wanted to stay in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. After all, his talent was limited, and he felt more at ease under the protection of Senior Brother Jiang.

Jiang Hao took care of the spiritual medicine, and Senior Sister Zhou Chan found him, giving him a transparent box.

It was sent by Elder Bai Zhi’s orders.

After thanking her, Jiang Hao sent Senior Sister Zhou Chan away.

Looking at the transparent box in his hand, he knew it was the second piece of the set.

It must also be the result of his half-year effort in gardening.

“It looks like a wrist guard, but it still needs to be appraised,” Jiang Hao thought as he put it away.

……

After dark, he went to his master’s residence.

“Come in.”

He heard his master’s voice as soon as he arrived.

“Master,” Jiang Hao entered the courtyard and respectfully saluted.

At this moment, Ku Wuchang’s expression was not good, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Hao noticed something but felt no change, as the master often had a stern face.

However, not seeing the two superior talent disciples, it seemed the master had not won over others.

“Is there something important?” Ku Wuchang asked in a low voice.

“Regarding a new disciple,” Jiang Hao recounted everything about Miao Tinglian.

Waiting for the master to make a decision.

At this moment, Ku Wuchang was silent with his eyes lowered, seemingly deep in thought.

He did not keep Jiang Hao waiting long before he said:

“Bring her in.”

“Yes.”

With that response, Jiang Hao withdrew.

Since the master had given his approval, he had no need to worry about anything else.

That left him with only two spots remaining.

He would decide tomorrow who to bring to Duanqing Cliff.

The next morning.

Jiang Hao met up with the other four and once again flew on their swords through the misty abyss.

“Do you have any news? Which sect did those two join?” Zheng Shijiu asked curiously on the way.

“We didn’t manage to get them,” Feng Baifei from Hundred Bones Forest said somewhat angrily.

“We didn’t either,” Le You, carrying a giant sword, shook his head.

“I only know that Junior Sister Zhao has joined Baiyue Lake,” Xin Yuyue said.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Hao shook his head,

“I have no idea.”

Zheng Shijiu sighed:

“It seems they were taken by other main branches, most likely to the Enforcement Peak. I heard it’s been a long time since they’ve taken in disciples.”

Enforcement Peak isn’t actually that scary; the real power lies in the Hall of Enforcement.

The Hall of Merits and others don’t have any awe-inspiring authority.

And the Hall of Enforcement can’t interfere in many matters and is very strict in selecting people.

It’s hard to get in, but those who do get in are usually not easy to get along with.

Of course, the Hall of Enforcement isn’t very safe either, as it’s easy to offend people.

So, each member of the Hall of Enforcement has exceptionally high talent and strength.

They are the outstanding figures of their generation.

In a short while, everyone landed on the peak where disciples were being recruited. Since there were enough people, everyone was relatively relaxed.

What they needed to do now was actually to select three people to complete their task.

“Senior Brothers, the new disciples have already gathered here,” Miao Xing announced, leading a few hundred people standing on the peak.

They had climbed up the stone steps early in the morning.

Zheng Shijiu and the others nodded, then went to select three people.

Miao Tinglian approached Jiang Hao, a bit nervous, and asked, “How is it?”

“You’ll follow me to see the master later,” Jiang Hao replied truthfully.

Afterward, he went to the edge of the peak, looking to the side, he noticed many people climbing up.

Only a little over a hundred could reach this place.

Even fewer would make it to the top.

Looking at these people, Jiang Hao was moved; the path to immortality is so cruel, some fall on the way, some at the threshold of entry.

The word ‘immortal’ attracts countless people.

Crack!

Suddenly, a sound rang out; someone’s handhold on the rock broke.

“Ahhhh”

A young man fell off the cliff.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao flicked his finger, and an invisible force gently caught and lowered him down.

“Go back,” he said softly.

His voice naturally traveled the distance and reached the other’s ears.

The young man, with a face full of unwillingness, finally knelt down in the direction of Jiang Hao and kowtowed deeply.

After doing this, he turned back.

As for whether he would give up, Jiang Hao did not know.

Perhaps not.

“It’s very dangerous for you to be like this. You’ve already reached Foundation Establishment and still show such compassion. Isn’t Tianyin Sect supposed to be a Demon Sect?” Miao Tinglian reminded from the side.

Jiang Hao gave her a bow, thanked her, and then turned to leave.

He wanted to check on the little girl named Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was waiting on the side, having heard that it hadn’t been decided whether to take her in or not.

This worried her.

She couldn’t go back now.

The dry food her grandmother had given her was all gone.

At this moment, she saw Jiang Hao approaching, her face lit up with joy.

Then she showed a sweet and adorable demeanor.

Jiang Hao was unmoved by the little girl’s expression and began the appraisal.

To his surprise, the feedback from his divine ability was somewhat slow this time.

【Xiao Li: Dragon Race, ordinary methods cannot appraise her talent, severely injured by the heavenly thunder, lost her memory and strength, fell into the river and was picked up by an elderly couple who could only afford to keep her for three years due to her large appetite, and reluctantly sent her to Tianyin Sect with tears, hoping she could be accepted into the sect to have a meal to eat.】

Jiang Hao: “…”

He was surprised for two reasons.

One was that the other party was actually of the dragon race, which he had failed to detect.

The second was that she had come just to have a meal to eat.

It reminded him of Liu Xingchen, who had come to the sect undercover out of boredom.

Looking at her expectant gaze, Jiang Hao sighed softly and said.

“Come with me.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li jumped up excitedly.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao felt helpless, thinking to himself that he might as well give her a meal to eat.

There weren’t many people staying outside Duanqing Cliff, and he hoped she could take care of herself.

As for whether her dragon lineage will be discovered, that depends on his master.

Then he approached Lin Zhi and said,

“Come with me as well.”

The sudden appearance of Jiang Hao surprised him.

However, he knew being chosen was a good thing, so he nodded gratefully.

Choosing these two, along with Miao Tinglian, should avoid drawing attention and it won’t displease others.

Because one has no talent, and the other’s talent is mediocre.

So even if Miao Tinglian has outstanding talent, it doesn’t matter.
