Chapter 172: The Female Demon with Insightful Eyes
Looking at the bruised rabbit, Jiang Hao thought it might be better to throw it on the ground rather than hang it up.
The rabbit seed to feel more at ho hanging there, even thinking it could beco stronger that way.
“Senior,” Jiang Hao greeted with a respectful bow.
This ti he was well-prepared, and there would be no issues.
The tea leaves, the stone slab, everything was in order.
“What’s your cultivation level now?”
Hong Yuye asked casually, touching the five petals of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
“Mid Foundation Establishnt,” Jiang Hao replied.
“Mid Foundation Establishnt?”
Hong Yuye stood up and looked at the man in front of her, teasingly saying, “I think it’s Late Foundation Establishnt. What do you think?”
As her words fell, a vast aura surged, capable of turning everything around into dust at any mont.
Feeling this terrifying power, Jiang Hao felt as if his body was about to fall apart and quickly lowered his head, saying.
“Senior has insightful eyes; indeed, I am at the Late Foundation Establishnt stage.”
Then he fixed his cultivation at the Late Foundation Establishnt stage.
Seeing that Jiang Hao was now listening, Hong Yuye didn’t say more but instead asked about the stone slab.
“What have you learned from the stone slab?”
“So far, I only know that there are three people who often chat inside: Gui (Ghost), Liu (Willow), and Xing (Star). I am Jing (Well),” Jiang Hao replied.
Hong Yuye stood silently for a mont and then asked, “That’s all?”
“That’s all,” Jiang Hao said with trepidation.
He might have been a bit passive in his attitude, but patience is key when undercover.
Haste makes waste.
This is true for Liu Xingchen and Ming Yi as well.
Learning from them can at least ensure that one doesn’t easily give themselves away.
However, he suddenly rembered sothing – now that he was at the early stage of Nascent Soul, he should be able to identify more information about Hong Yuye.
But it was easy to be detected by the other party.
He could only wait until Hong Yuye ntioned this divine ability before trying to identify it.
He didn’t believe that he could control it to the point where the other party wouldn’t notice.
“How many words have you exchanged with them?”
Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
Jiang Hao lowered his head and replied softly,
“Quite a few.”
“More than three sentences?” Hong Yuye asked with a cold gaze.
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.
Hong Yuye chuckled and said,
“Find the source of the stone tablet, and I won’t let your help be in vain. When I run out of patience, you won’t need to look anymore. At that ti, take care of yourself.”
As her voice faded, a ray of sunlight fell in the courtyard, and Hong Yuye disappeared within it.
Her whereabouts unknown.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
He had narrowly escaped a disaster, but to find the source from the stone tablet was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He could only take it slow, first making his presence seem ancient, which would add a sense of mystery rather than suspicion of being an undercover agent.
If new people joined during this ti, it would be even better.
Then, he would no longer be the newcor, but an old senior who had been mingling in the group for a long ti.
As for the deadline of Hong Yuye’s impatience, there was no way to think about that.
But the divine tree and the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower were still there, so they probably still needed him to cultivate them.
For now, there was no danger to his life.
Just not as much freedom.
While Jiang Hao was pondering, the rabbit began to wail.
Jiang Hao untied the rope around its neck, letting it lie on the ground and wail.
“Master, have you offended soone recently? People on the road often remind to be careful,” the rabbit asked after its wailing.
“Mhm,” Jiang Hao nodded.
I’ve provoked a female demon.
“Master, you have to work hard. The harder you work, the more friends Lord Rabbit will have,” the rabbit said.
Jiang Hao chuckled.
His efforts wouldn’t really increase the rabbit’s friends by much, because the formations wouldn’t give him face.
But the formations on the road that were friends with the rabbit would give it face.
After letting the rabbit go to the Spiritual dicine Garden, Jiang Hao began to think about what he needed to do next.
“After consolidating my cultivation, I need to update the divine ability Hidden Spirit Manifestation, as well as the two attacks on the bracers.”
“After that, start learning the techniques of the Primordial Heart Sutra.”
......
At noon.
Jiang Hao absorbed the remaining twenty points of cultivation and consolidated his realm.
He also updated the two attacks and the divine ability Hidden Spirit.
After doing all this, he spent a good part of the afternoon recovering his strength.
Then he went to the Spiritual dicine Garden to collect bubbles.
“I also need to determine how many days it will take to obtain bubbles from the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.”
This was important as it related to the latest ti he could advance.
Returning from the Spiritual dicine Garden, Jiang Hao would try to comprehend the Primordial techniques that he could learn.
To this day, he still didn’t know the na of the techniques he could learn.
Even with his divine ability activated, it was difficult to comprehend.
The difficulty of learning was incredibly high.
Mainly because the form of existence was sowhat unique; otherwise, it shouldn’t be so difficult.
As long as he could see the content, no matter how difficult, he would at least know the na.
......
Days passed by.
Three days later, as expected, there were no bubbles from the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
The fourth day, still none.
On the fifth day, two bubbles appeared.
【Cultivation 1】
【Vital Energy 1】
Seeing this, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Just two extra days ant that at the very least, he could advance in a year and a half, even if it was only seventy or so bubbles a year.
But now his cultivation was pitifully low.
【Vital Energy: 5/100 (cannot be cultivated)】
【Cultivation: 4/100 (cannot be cultivated)】
Two days later.
Jiang Hao had the people from Candlelight Alchemy Court inspect the spiritual dicine Black Lotus.
The inspector was a Senior Brother at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
He looked astonished.
“So much earlier? Junior Brother, how did you do it?”
Lian Daozhi stared at Jiang Hao.
“By luck,” Jiang Hao replied.
Naturally, he wouldn’t tell the other party that it took over a thousand spirit stones to speed up the process a bit.
Whether they would guess that or not didn’t matter.
“People with real strength always attribute it to luck,” Lian Daozhi said with a smile.
“I am Lian Daozhi, may I ask who you are, Junior Brother?”
“Jiang Hao,” Jiang Hao replied politely.
“Junior Brother Jiang, I have several dozen Black Lotus seeds here. I wonder if your Spiritual dicine Garden would be interested?” Lian Daozhi inquired.
“No, thank you.” Jiang Hao shook his head apologetically.
“It’s not possible to plant them within two months. This batch was just good luck, I hope Senior Brother can understand.”
He wasn’t interested at the mont; firstly, he didn’t have the spirit stones, and secondly, he needed to enter the Demon Cavern.
Taking on more would just be asking for trouble.
“Is that so?” Lian Daozhi pondered, then asked.
“Would Junior Brother be interested in taking on such orders in the future?”
“I might be, depending on the situation,” Jiang Hao nodded in agreent.
Such challenging plants require confirmation from the Spiritual dicine Garden before taking on the order.
If soone managing orders accepted them without care and problems arose, they would be held responsible.
No one dares to take full responsibility.
Of course, it’s best to maintain good relations with such people.
The next batch of seeds they bring might be even better than the Black Lotus.
In that case, even if he had to invest a thousand or two thousand more, Jiang Hao would want to cultivate them.
The potential reward could be a blue bubble.
“Alright, I’ll have so Junior Brothers and Sisters bring the orders to you in the future,” Lian Daozhi was also very pleased.
What if this Junior Brother had a talent for spiritual dicines cultivation?
At the end, he added:
“There won’t be any delay in the paynt of spirit stones, Junior Brother can rest assured about that.”
Ever since more than fifty pill refiners from the Alchemy Court lineage were robbed, the issue of owing money has almost beco synonymous with them.
Many people would ask when the spirit stones would be settled.
They would even take the initiative to declare their creditworthiness.
They don’t care much about simple spiritual dicines that the Spiritual dicine Garden may or may not accept, but they worry about the expensive ones being rejected by other gardens.
Because they are often urgent and the quantity must be sufficient.
So so pill refiners also despise those who owe money, casually robbing them of their spiritual dicines.
In any case, so people in the Alchemy Court lineage want to trade steadily, while others want to use their status to pressure others.
It’s an unavoidable situation.
Golden Core pill refiners aren’t short of spirit stones and want stable transactions.
Foundation Establishnt pill refiners are in dire need of spirit stones and want to reduce costs.
Everyone has been through this.
