Chapter 203: What Did I Do Wrong
Unable to make the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, Jiang Hao kept crafting Healing Talismans and Hundred Thousand Swords Talismans.
He needed to earn enough spirit stones in the coming months for the nirvana of the peach tree.
But looking at the pitiful number of spirit stones in his storage treasure, he felt the journey was long and arduous.
Nirvana had a purple bubble; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry.
Recently, with no place to pick up purple bubbles, he could only rely on nirvana.
Having one more divine ability would greatly enhance his strength.
For the next month, Jiang Hao encountered no troubles; no one sought him out, nor did any incidents occur.
Such peaceful days were a delight.
That month, he earned over a thousand spirit stones, especially from the Healing Talismans, which sold well and at a premium.
It seed to be the influence of the Demon Cavern and Tiansheng Sect.
The demand for talismans had increased significantly; normally, no matter how many he had, they were difficult to sell.
Now he had over twelve thousand spirit stones, the rabbit required eight thousand one hundred, leaving him with four thousand.
He was still short by over five thousand for nirvana.
Ti might not be enough, and he might have to sell so items when the ti ca.
Fortunately, there were so items in the Nascent Soul storage treasure he had obtained that could be sold; he should be able to catch up.
Afterward, he continued to live a simple and peaceful life.
Hundred Bones Forest sent a ssage wanting to continue cooperation.
Their spiritual dicines would be delivered again in a month.
Jiang Hao knew Bai Ye was going to make a move again.
He wondered what thod he would use this ti.
He could only wait and see after a month.
......
The next morning.
Jiang Hao once again went near Lin Zhi’s residence.
At this ti, Lin Zhi’s body was not as frail, but his cultivation was as weak as ever.
During this period, Jiang Hao saw him often beaten, silently enduring it.
He would occasionally cry when he returned, but the frequency was gradually decreasing.
He didn’t talk to anyone, just did his own thing.
When soone greeted him kindly, he would lower his head and quickly leave.
He received spirit stones again, but this ti he didn’t save them up; instead, he bought dicinal pills to temper his body.
They were the most common and cheapest spiritual dicines.
But for him, they were very effective; it ant that being beaten wasn’t as painful anymore.
“He still hasn’t collapsed, and he continues to cultivate day after day. Lord Rabbit’s friends on the road all think he’s gone mad, clearly cultivating without any progress,” the rabbit shook its head and sighed.
When on missions, he was mocked by others, despised when in a crowd, and beaten when alone.
They would pull his hair and bully him, seemingly trying to break him ntally.
Even if his mind beca twisted, he would still face beatings, and provoking the ruthless ones ant he might never return from an outing.
Jiang Hao saw all this, yet the other party’s spirit was surprisingly resilient.
Although he cried, there were no signs of a breakdown so far.
It seed like sothing was supporting him inside.
Curious, he looked towards the back of the house, where there was a Safety charm Lin Zhi’s mother had prayed for; perhaps that was what was supporting him.
It was the Safety charm, as well as his mother’s worries.
......
In the evening.
Near Lin Zhi’s house.
Three outer disciples ca to the area and started looking around.
One was slightly taller, the other two sowhat skinny.
“Recently, I don’t know what’s gotten into Lin Zhi. He doesn’t fight back or say a word when scolded, and acts like nothing’s wrong every day. It’s starting to annoy .”
“ too, he used to argue back and deny accusations. Now, when I pull his hair and step on his face to insult him, he just takes it. We need to find his weak spot.”
“Doesn’t he have a charm? I don’t know where he put it, let’s find it.”
The three of them started searching, talking amongst themselves.
They searched openly, not worried about Lin Zhi discovering them.
But they searched inside and out, finding nothing of value.
More than just Lin Zhi lived here, but no matter how they searched, there were no valuable items.
“Let’s check outside.”
A tall man suggested.
Going to the yard, he began to use a technique to inspect the ground.
It was the most basic technique, which could simply detect objects.
If one had enough spiritual power, using spiritual sense to probe would be more effective than this technique.
The group circled the house, inside and out, and finally found sothing behind the house.
“Here it is,” one of the skinny outer disciples exclaid excitedly.
Afterward, they began to dig and, sure enough, they unearthed a box.
When opened, the first thing they saw was the Safety charm.
“Haha, let’s see if he doesn’t kneel and beg for rcy this ti,” the three of them beca excited.
However, before their joy could fully blossom, a cold voice ca from behind.
“Where does an outer disciple get the audacity to steal from my Duanqing Cliff?”
The trio was startled and turned around to find an inner disciple standing behind them at so unknown point.
At this mont, Jiang Hao was looking at the three with a cold gaze.
He seed to have seen them before; over a month ago, they had robbed Lin Zhi of his spirit stones.
“W-we’ve t Senior Brother,” the three stamred in fear.
But since Jiang Hao had not troubled them last ti, they thought he would not this ti either.
Just as this thought arose, a powerful aura suddenly swept over them.
Bang!
The three were suppressed to the ground by the late Foundation Establishnt stage aura, their vital energy in turmoil.
“Normally, I wouldn’t lay a hand on an outer disciple, but are you disregarding my Duanqing Cliff by coming here to steal?” Jiang Hao said indifferently.
“It’s a misunderstanding, Senior Brother, please spare our lives,” the three were terrified.
Disregarding Duanqing Cliff was a serious accusation.
Inner disciples rarely appeared in the outer sect area, and even if there were outer disciples, they couldn’t possibly know what they were up to.
What was this inner sect Senior Brother up to?
“Put the item back and bury it,” Jiang Hao’s voice was devoid of any emotion.
The three hurriedly put the box back and covered it with soil, quickly leveling the ground.
“Go to the outer sect to receive your punishnt, a deduction of one year’s cultivation resources. I hear the mines have started, go work in the mines for three years,” Jiang Hao stared at them, his tone cold.
“Any objections?”
“N-none,” the three dared not say anything.
Afterward, Jiang Hao let them leave.
As for whether they would go to receive their punishnt, he was not worried; if soone had their back, then in a couple of days, those behind them would co looking.
If they had no backing and insufficient talent, this punishnt was enough for them, and the outer sect managent would give him face.
Of course, dealing with these three had no real effect.
There were more than these who bullied Lin Zhi.
......
At night.
Lin Zhi dragged his ragged body to the back of his house.
Hearing that soone was coming for his safety chatrm, he ran back imdiately.
When he saw that the ground had been dug up, he knelt down helplessly.
Large tears kept falling.
He didn’t know what he had done wrong; people always targeted him.
He had done nothing, said nothing, touched no one.
He just did his own thing, diligently cultivating.
Yet he was still targeted.
If even this was wrong, he truly didn’t know how to continue living.
Now even the safety charm his mother had given him was about to be lost.
With tears, he slowly began to dig up the overturned soil, but soon he unearthed the box and opened it.
Seeing the safety charm still there, he was stunned, and his tears flowed even faster.
He even cried out loud.
“You’re so pathetic,” a sudden voice ca from behind Lin Zhi.
He was startled and imdiately turned around, wiping away his tears before he saw a strange rabbit standing in the moonlight.
It stood like a human, with long ears and a large head, its fluffy white fur seeming to glow.
Lin Zhi instinctively protected the box in his hands.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“Lord Rabbit, just call Lord Rabbit,” the rabbit declared with two fingers raised, unabashedly.
“Lord Rabbit has three hobbies: saving people from danger, making friends in the world, and eating humans.”
