Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness - Chapter 343
Chapter 343: He Probably Couldn ‘t Even Imagine That He Would Die In A Few Days
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Far away, Gu Qing was tending to the spirit herbs.
These past two days, she had been observing Jiang Hao.
Although most of her time was spent in the Spirit Herb Garden, she still found time to tend to her own matters. Even in the garden, she only took care of her own spirit herbs and didn’t interfere with others.
Everything was running smoothly.
‘He is kind to ordinary people, to the point where he remains silent even when he sees his spirit herbs withering. Is he trying to avoid making a big fuss, even when it’s detrimental to him? It is no wonder he managed to survive in the demonic sect. He’s afraid to make enemies. What a pity!’ Gu Qing was amused.
Even if this person died, no one would pay much attention.
The more ordinary a person, the fewer people cared about them.
As for his background, she had already investigated it thoroughly.
They were all fabricated.
His relationship with Miao Tinglian wasn’t very significant. It was the same with Mu Qi.
‘It seems he’s living quite a boring life without even a friend. I should just find a way to kill him. Once I do, I’ll have temporary control of the Spirit Herb Garden. Nobody will know. But if something went wrong in the garden now, this person would report it immediately. I won’t have the time to recover fully, and it will only invite trouble.’
Jiang Hao quietly tended to the spirit herbs.
Gu Qing was amused by him. He was really pitiful.
Perhaps he thought he was being targeted by some fellow disciples. It made things easier for her.
He probably couldn’t even imagine that he would die in a few days.
‘He is so pitiful… I’ll make it quick when the time comes.’
She thought about the Heavenly Note Sect.
Although the Heavenly Note Sect’s strength wasn’t impressive, it was still a significant threat to her.
Even if this place couldn’t accommodate her, it wouldn’t be an issue. It wasn’t like they could keep her here.
Jiang Hao was quietly tending his spirit herbs. The situation was even more extreme than before. The other person didn’t even hide it anymore.
‘I need to find a place to hide.’
Which place was safe in the Heavenly Note Sect?
Jiang Hao decided to go to the Lawless Tower.
After he advanced, he could go there more often. Even if he encountered the person from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion from before, he didn’t mind. It was better than facing Gu Qing.
The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion understood the strict rule of the Heavenly Note Sect, while Gu Qing had no understanding of it at all.
He was the one suffering in this situation.
His progress wasn’t slow, but he still had much work to do.
He sent the spirit beast and Xiao Li to the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden.
For now, they shouldn’t be here.
After taking care of his own spirit herbs, Jiang Hao began to observe other parts of the Spirit Herb Garden.
Many spirit herbs had their essence sucked away, but it wasn’t very severe.
It wouldn’t have a significant impact in the short term.
However, if this continued, all the spirit herbs in the garden would suffer. By then, he would have to bear the responsibility.
He couldn’t afford to compensate for the loss of spirit herbs.
‘I wonder how Liu Xingchen’s investigation is going.’
Jiang Hao decided to leave.
As for Gu Qing, he wouldn’t seek her out.
Jiang Hao returned to his house and sat cross-legged in his room. He was ready to start the process to advance to the next stage.
He didn’t have time to find out more about the abundant spiritual energy in his courtyard. He didn’t have time to visit Bai Ye either.
Gu Qing had disrupted his life.
Jiang Hao looked at his interface. [Lifeblood: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)]
[Cultivation: 100/100 (Can be cultivated)]
Jiang Hao felt a massive influx of spiritual energy and vitality in his body.
The improvement of cultivation required the cooperation of the body, with the lifeblood nourishing it.
The Hong Meng Heart Sutra circulated, and purple energy appeared around him.
The vast spiritual energy converged and nurtured his primordial spirit.
The purple energy enveloped Jiang Hao like a cocoon.
Because of the trip to Heavenly Stele Mountain, he had a more profound understanding of the Hong Meng heart Sutra. His body and mind were filled with purple energy, which rose and fell with each breath.
The night passed by, and Jiang Hao was completely enveloped in purple energy.
When the sun shone the next day, the purple energy shattered with a crisp sound.
Then his primordial spirit manifested and shone with a golden light.
With a loud bang, the purple energy shattered even more and absorbed into Jiang Hao’s body.
At this moment, a faint golden light surrounded him.
His peak of Primordial Spirit aura surged and then settled down. Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes. The immense power gave him a bit more confidence.
But when he thought of Gu Qing’s cultivation realm, he sighed. The gap in strength was just too huge.
He clenched his fist.
With this mighty power, he felt confident enough to fight against Manlong. He had even surpassed Liu Xingchen by two stages. He was stronger and safer now.
After refining his cultivation, Jiang Hao recorded the attacks in his wrist guard and stored his power in the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit between his brows.
At noon, he started making the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.
He used medicinal pills, Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit ability, and Clear and Pure Heart ability.
In the evening, he finally completed a Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.
‘Fortunately, the Clear and Pure Heart ability only suffered minor damage. It should be able to recover with the Revival of Withered Tree.’
The benefits of having a powerful divine ability were indeed great.
However, it was a pity that his cultivation was still too weak. Otherwise, why would he still need to rely on divine abilities?
[Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman: Low-Grade. Ignores all spells and barriers. Randomly teleports the user to any location within 1,400 miles. Can be activated using blood or spiritual energy. Cannot be interrupted.]
It was still low in quality.
He put away the talisman.
Jiang Hao then took a break.
The next day, he felt his divine ability recovering slightly.
As long as it recovered, it was all well and good.
It would probably be difficult to restore it to its former state.
This time, when he returned to the Spirit Herb Garden, he found that all of his remaining spirit herbs had withered.
Several thousand spiritual stones were gone just like that.
“Master, please have mercy on me. I-I don’t know what happened.” A young man knelt in front of Jiang Hao. He was trembling in fear.
Jiang Hao looked at his withered spirit herbs and felt depressed.
He had worked so hard in the Corpse Realm, only to have his hard-earned spirit herbs vanish in just a few days.
He glared at the young man before him. He sighed. “Go do something else.”
The young man seemed to be in disbelief. He pressed his head to the ground. “Thank you for sparing my life.”
Jiang Hao knew this incident had nothing to do with the young man. He had glared at him just to convince Gu Qing that he knew nothing of the situation. There was simply no need to argue with ordinary non-cultivators.
At this moment, he felt Gu Qing looking at him.
In these few days, he would face immense danger. Whether he survived or not would entirely depend on Liu Xingchen.
White Moon Lake.
“Elder Baizhi, we’ve received a message from the Law Enforcement Hall.” The woman in the black robe landed before Baizhi.
Baizhi was sitting in the courtyard and gazing at the sky.
“The Law Enforcement Hall operates independently. What message could they possibly send us?” she asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but it seems like they want to use the sect’s treasure.”
“Sect’s treasure?”
The Law Enforcement Hall functioned independently and didn’t really report to
anyone.
If they were planning to use the sect’s treasure this time, it meant that the situation was quite serious..
