Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

478  Missing Liu Xingchen's Battle With The Three Soul Remnants

Many people were eagerly waiting at the entrance of the sect.

Jiang Hao was among them. He felt strange for some reason.

Slowly, a small dot appeared in the sky, followed by the appearance of a sword, which grew larger.

He could see many figures standing on it.

They had arrived.

"Senior Brother Jiang!" Xiao Li waved from above.

She was the first to notice Jiang Hao.

"Too eye-catching." Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

Xiao Li didn't understand what it meant to be low-key. He needed to let her know when there was an opportunity.

With so many people around, they needed to stay quiet.

At this moment, Elder Baizhi also arrived.

She attached great importance to the trip to the Bright Moon Sect and needed to understand what had happened there.

As for the matters of the sect, Ku Wu Chang and the others were also curious. At present, it didn't seem to be that serious.

Soon, Jiang Hao picked up the spirit beast and the others.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I brought back lots of food for you!" Xiao Li exclaimed.

She also took out two boxes and gave one to Jiang Hao and one to Cheng Chou.

Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes. Why was there a smell of marsh gas outside the box?

What had Xiao Li been up to again?

He opened the box and found eight pieces of pastry inside.

Not surprisingly, they were all poisoned.

"Senior brother Cheng, give it a try," Xiao Li said as he looked at Cheng Chou with wide eyes.

Cheng Chou immediately started eating.

He was astonished by the taste.

Jiang Hao also tried a piece. Indeed, it was very delicious.

But...

He sighed when he saw Cheng Chou struggling. It wasn't easy to endure the poison for someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"I have a gift too." Chu Chuan took out a memento. He gave them two stones.

There were three words written on them: Bright Moon Sect."

There was indeed a hint of aura in the stones.

That was it.

Jiang Hao thanked him and accepted it.

Cheng Chou did the same. He had never been to the Bright Moon Sect in his life, so having a stone from there wasn't bad.

"Junior brother Chu, you're already at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?" Cheng Chou was surprised.

"From Chu Jie's advancement, I gained some insights. Then, I advanced too," said Chu Chuan.

He had now surpassed Cheng Chou and Xiao Li.

The beast stood on Chu Chuan's shoulder and nibbled on a carrot like an ordinary rabbit.

"A few days ago, Chu Chuan challenged Xiao Li."

"And?" Jiang Hao asked while eating a pastry.

"He just had his teeth fixed," said the beast.

Chu Chuan looked awkward.

He didn't understand why, but he couldn't defeat Xiao Li at all.

"Why hasn't Junior Sister Xiao Li progressed?" Cheng Chou was curious.

He knew very well what kind of talent Xiao Li had.

Xiao Li lowered her head and hesitated. "Senior Brother Cheng, you haven't advanced yet… I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable seeing everyone else making progress. It doesn't matter whether I advance or not anyway."

Cheng Chou was dumbfounded.

Jiang Hao didn't mind. Xiao Li had her own thoughts.

Although she seemed careless, she was sometimes very attentive.

Whenever she returned home, Cheng Chou had accompanied her. He had helped her with lots of other things too.

Moreover, Cheng Chou was the one who had brought back the jujube tree for her.

It was only natural for her to feel concerned about Cheng Chou.

"In that case, you guys don't have to rush to advance. Wait for me, and I'll protect you." Chu Chuan smiled.

"I have the beast for that too," Xiao Li said as she grabbed the spirit beast.

At this moment, the spirit beast broke free from Xiao Li and approached Jiang Hao.

"Master, look at this."

It took out the collar and showed it to Jiang Hao. "It's broken. Please buy a new one."

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

How many spirit stones had he spent on keeping this spirit beast?

And the speed of its progress was too fast.

When he caught it, it was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now, it was already in the middle of the Gold Core Realm.

Otherwise, the collar wouldn't have broken.

A Gold Core demon, indeed.

"Senior Brother Jiang, we earned a lot of spirit stones during our trip outside," Xiao Li said on the way.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

However, Holy Medicines were difficult to sell for spirit stones.

10:18

He wasn't lacking either. He had earned a Holy Medicine Seed, and his gains far surpassed theirs.

However, Holy Medicines were difficult to sell for spirit stones.

He was not only reluctant to sell it but also a bit wary.

On the way back, Jiang Hao listened to Xiao Li talk about her trip to the Bright Moon Sect. It sounded exciting and dangerous.

But from what Jiang Hao knew, the trip had been very ordinary.

Perhaps, in Xiao Li's eyes, it was more exciting and interesting.

She rarely went out and had never participated in this kind of conference. It was natural for her to find it fascinating.

Back in the Spirit Herb Garden, Xiao Li gave him some gifts again.

They were delicious and beautiful. He accepted all of them.

The next day, Cheng Chou didn't come to the Spirit Herb Garden. He was poisoned and recuperating in his house.

The spirit beast took Xiao Li to visit him.

However, before they went, Jiang Hao gave the beast a new collar.

"It seems I'm the most favored pet," the beast said happily.

"What about me?" Xiao Li asked.

"Here." Jiang Hao took out a snack.

It was different from what Xiao Li bought for him. These were ordinary and plain pastries.

"Give this to Cheng Chou." Jiang Hao gave her a bottle of spirit medicine to give to Cheng Chou.

It could be used for detoxification.

Xiao Li's eyes widened as she ate the pastry. She looked excited.

Perhaps, for her, this was the most delicious pastry.

Jiang Hao watched them leave.

He needed to prepare Chu Chuan's things as soon as possible.

Now that he was at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm, he would soon break through to the late stage.

At that time, he could even request to leave the sect, as he was no longer a child.

As soon as he sent Xiao Li and the others away, Jiang Hao met Liu Xingchen.

Just a glance, and he could tell that his cultivation realm was at the peak stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Wasn't this too fast?

In just twelve years, he had reached from peak Gold Core Realm to the peak Primordial Spirit Realm, and he displayed it so openly.

Did the Heavenly Note Sect really have such a genius?

"Junior Brother Jiang, it's been many years. I heard you got involved in some trouble again and were restricted from traveling outside." Liu Xingchen smiled.

"It's just a misunderstanding," Jiang Hao said politely.

He then appraised him.

Since he didn't sense the aura of the three, and Liu Xingchen had ascended, he needed to see what the situation was.

[Liu Xingchen: True Disciple of the Heavenly Faction. Born with the aura of a dragon. An undercover agent of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Note Sect. Out of boredom, he deliberately let the three remnant souls experience the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment so that they could recover. He then broke through to the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm when they thought they were winning. He proceeded to devour them while they were feeling overconfident. The three remnant souls hid after that out of fear which made him feel bored. He planned to devour them and then find three more remnant souls. When he came back, he found out that many things had happened, and most things were related to you. He's a bit regrettable that he didn't pay attention to you, but now, he's increasingly interested in you. The outside world is too boring, but it's interesting here.]

Jiang Hao was speechless.

'It's over? I didn't get to see the most exciting part, only the result. What a shame!'

"By the way, there's something I need to mention, Junior Brother Jiang," Liu Xingchen said.

"What is it?" Jiang Hao asked.

Everything related to him should have been taken care of.

"It's related to the Heavenly Joy Pavilion. Your master had a brief discussion with him on the way and came up with something." Liu Xingchen laughed.
