Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 383: Heavenly Cauldron

It was mid-November when Jiang Hao noticed that there were only three peaches left on the peach tree.

He picked two of them and left the last one on the tree.

Then, he began arranging a Spirit Gathering Array. He incorporated all 19,999 spirit stones around the array.

After completing that, he waited.

Tomorrow morning, he would obtain a seed.

After that, he would appraise the seed and see how many days it would take for it to germinate.

The next day, Jiang Hao found a seed among the withered branches on the ground.

He used his Daily Appraisal ability.

[Peach Blossom Tree Seed: Related to the ancient divine tree, the Immortal Peach Tree. It possesses a trace of the divine. After rooting, germinating, flowering, fruiting, and then experiencing five cycles of incarnation, it will become a divine Immortal Peach Tree. Water daily. It can root and germinate after five days.]

‘Five days?’ Jiang Hao looked at the seed. He then buried the seed in the dirt and watered it.

“Master, the tree is gone again,” said the beast sadly.

It used to jump up on the branch of the tree a lot. But now, it couldn’t. Jiang Hao glanced at it and pointed to the bamboo nearby. “You can play there.” “Bamboo isn’t strong. It’ll break under my weight,” said the beast. With a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, it was formidable.

Perhaps it would ascend to the Gold Core Realm soon.

Ordinary bamboo could easily be damaged.

The Immortal Peach Tree was different. After all, it was a divine tree. Even if it possessed only a trace of divinity, it was still extraordinary.

Jiang Hao absorbed the bubbles from the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

After watering it, he headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

“Master, these past few days, someone was asking about you,” said the beast.

“Asking about me? What for?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.

It wasn’t uncommon for people to ask for him. It was most likely related to Tunior Sister Yi Lian-

Maybe Jiang Hao should find Qian Chen and solve the problem at the root.

“Is someone trying to provoke you, Master?” asked the spirit beast. ‘Who dares to not show respect to you?”

“There are so many people in the sect. Most of them don’t even know me, let alone respect me.”

“Master, you need to put in some effort. It’s been so many years, and I haven’t seen any progress. Is it because you lack a mistress? As long as there’s a mistress, you’ll be more driven to become stronger.”

“What kind of mistress would you like?” “One that respects me,” said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao chuckled.

‘You can find several mistresses, but only choose the one who shows me respect,” said the spirit beast. “Maybe start with three or four people in the beginning.”

Jiang Hao scowled. ‘Three or four?’

“Have you been paying attention to Xiao Li?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes, but she hasn’t met that person again. Xiao Li didn’t tell me much either. She only said that the Senior Sister she met treated her very well, except when she refused to eat the jujube Xiao Li picked from the ground. She plans to pick more jujube and keep them so that she can offer it to the Senior Sister when she visits her again.”

“Did she mention who the person is?” Jiang Hao asked.

“She said something about a red gown… and she was apparently very beautiful..

‘Red gown? Very beautiful?’ Jiang Hao thought of someone. ‘But how is that possible?’

After all, there were many beautiful women in the sect, and many of them wore red clothes.

He didn’t think much about it. He could ask Xiao Li the next time he met her.

Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden and tended to the spirit herbs. Then he headed to the library.

Five days later, Jiang Hao saw the Immortal Peach Tree germinating in his courtyard.

A purple aura bubble merged into his body.

[Divine Ability Fragment +1]

‘Purple is good too. Let’s see which ability I’ll get this time.’

[Divine Ability: 3/3 (can be obtained)]

Jiang Hao chose to acquire the ability without hesitation. Soon, the number dropped to zero.

Immediately after, Jiang Hao felt a change in his body. It was as if darkness and daylight shifted and sealed everything. Soon, everything disappeared.

Jiang Hao returned to normal.

‘There are no changes in the body, so the divine ability this time isn’t a part of the body…’

He then opened his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 27]

[Cultivation: Peak Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

[Divine Ability: Nine Revolutions Death Substitution (unique), Daily Appraisal,

Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron.] [Vitality: 53/100 (Cultivable)] [Cultivation: 50/100 (Cultivable)]

[Divine Abilities: 0/3 (Unobtainable)] [Golden Legend: 1/2 (Unobtainable)]

“Heavenly Cauldron?”

Jiang Hao used it and found that he could isolate the surroundings. Then, he activated the divine ability and enveloped the still-sleeping spirit beast. In an instant, the surrounding plunged into darkness and was sealed off.

Jiang Hao snapped his fingers and woke the beast up.

Seeing that it was still dark outside, the beast was bewildered. But it felt reassured with its master around.

“Try and see if you can run out of the courtyard,” Jiang Hao said.

The beast was puzzled but ran outside the courtyard.

It suddenly found itself back inside the courtyard when it reached the gate.

“What’s going on?” The beast was astonished.

It tried a few more times and finally realized that it couldn’t run out of the courtyard. “Master, something is wrong with this courtyard.”

Jiang Hao smiled and withdrew the ability.

This divine ability could be used to trap people, but he wondered how it looked from the outside.

Later, he experimented using the beast.

He used the divine ability to cover the beast.

Jiang Hao noticed that the surroundings remained unchanged, but the beast disappeared.

In other words, whoever it was directed at would enter the divine ability.

“Although the divine ability is invisible, it’s easy to sense. It’s also possible to breach it and enter.”

As he observed the divine ability, Jiang Hao began thinking about something.

This divine ability could be activated when attacking people. He didn’t have to worry about making too much noise or being detected.

Entering the range of the divine ability would also obscure the opponent’s perception to some extent.

It would provide Jiang Hao with a significant advantage.

Indeed, divine abilities were powerful assets.

Unfortunately, he had to wait a long time to get the next divine ability.

He looked forward to obtaining a Golden Legend.

At noon, Jiang Hao went to the library.

Mian Lian rushed over. “Senior Brother Jiang, I heard that someone has been replaced. Two new disciples should be coming today.” “Have they been chosen already?” Jiang Hao asked.

More new disciples were arriving.

He remembered that they had recently recruited disciples.

“They’ll choose today. They might arrive in the afternoon,” Mian Lian said earnestly. “If we establish a good relationship with them, could we also earn spirit stones from them?”

“Probably,” Jiang Hao said.

“Then, I’ll go talk with them. When the time comes, Senior Brother, you take seven, and I’ll take three,” Mian Lian said.

Jiang Hao understood that Mian Lian wanted leverage by using his status as a disciple at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, he also needed Mian Lian to facilitate his contact with Xuanyuan Tai.

So, he agreed.

Now, it all depended on whether the new arrivals were the people he was

waiting for..
