Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 495: The Beast Was Snatched Away

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the Blackheaven Sect attacked overseas people, the incident was twisted into the Blackheaven Sect disregarding the Heavenly Note Sect’s dignity and inciting trouble within their sect.

The Heavenly Note Sect bore the embarrassment on their own.

Their overseas reputation remained unaffected.

As Liu Xingchen said, concessions were made overseas, and the sect would certainly not stay idle.

After that, there were a few updates from the Sea Fog Cave.

Fortunately, they didn’t encounter further harassment from overseas people. Last time, he had suffered a significant loss of ninety spirit stones.

After that, the days were relatively peaceful.

Though the number of overseas people increased, it didn’t bring any significant impacts.

Moreover, the sect did not allow disciples to act recklessly.

Everything went back on track, and both sides were unwilling to disrupt the balance.

So, they restrained their own people.

Days passed peacefully for over a month.

If it weren’t for overseas matters, Jiang Hao felt that some of the Golden Core seniors might try to harass him.

When they made a move, he would be able to establish himself as a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

In the eyes of everyone, he was still a newly advanced Golden Core Realm cultivator who had achieved it through the Blood Wish Path.

Everyone wanted a reason to defeat him.

“There’s no strong reason yet. I need to find a way to give them one.” In the courtyard, Jiang Hao enjoyed the cool breeze.

It was snowing outside the sect, but it didn’t affect the inside of his area.

“Beast.” Xiao Li ran into the courtyard.

When she saw Jiang Hao, she stopped in her tracks and bowed. “Senior Brother Jiang.”

“The beast is still sleeping, ” Jiang Hao said.

At this moment, the beast was still lying on the edge of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and drooling in its sleep.

After years of nurturing, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower hadn’t disappointed anyone.

There were still only seven leaves on it. There was very little progress in its growth.

Jiang Hao was a bit worried. He feared that Hong Yuye might ask about its progress.

There had been no progress for a long time.

He appraised it several times. Everything was fine with the flower. It only needed water to grow.

The Immortal Peach Tree was the same. It only needed water. The only important thing was that it needed other divine items near it to grow pronerly.

As for the Sweet Leaf Cold Grass, it needed spirit liquid, but it had improved the soil a lot.

The growth of spirit herbs in the courtyard was better than before, and the spiritual energy had become denser.

The spirit herbs played a huge role, but the methods of the Hundred Bones Forest played an even bigger one.

It seemed like Bai Ye was trying to be friendly.

Currently, Bai Ye was still in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. There had been no signs of advancement.

He didn’t dare to seal his spirit. He feared that doing so might drop Bai Ye’s cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, which would have a significant impact.

“Beast?” Xiao Li approached slowly.

Then, taking advantage of the beast’s distraction, she lifted it and ran out with a swoosh.

Jiang Hao was baffled.

Soon, voices came from outside.

“Beast, it’s snowing outside. Let’s go play in the snow.”

“The white snow on the road is making me feel good. Remember to call my name, and the snow will fall even heavier,” said the beast.

It sounded confused. It seemed to have no idea what was happening.

“Can it snow a bit less?”

“Of course, just say my name.”

“Can it not snow at all?”

“That requires me to negotiate in person. After all, I am destined to become a great demon someday.”

“Really? Then, the villagers don’t have to worry. They used to worry when it snowed at home because they were afraid that most families couldn’t make it through.”

Xiao Li sounded joyful.

The voices grew fainter. They were leaving.

In heavy snow, times were hard outside. If famine broke out during this time, it would be terrifying.

Only those who had experienced it could understand the struggle.

Jiang Hao sighed and looked at his interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 31]

[Cultivation: Middle Stage of the Soul Ascension 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] [Lifeblood: 99/100 (can be cultivated)] [Cultivation: 100/100 (can be cultivated)] [Divine Ability: 2/3 (cannot be obtained)]

‘In a few days, I’ll turn thirty-two. Time flies…’

Every time he saw his age, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.

Fortunately, his spirit stones were also increasing with his age.

He had now saved over 27,000 spirit stones.

After buying Red Azure tea, he didn’t dare to spend his spirit stones recklessly. It was easy to draw attention.

Also, he could advance in just a matter of days.

If there were no accidents, he would become a late-stage Soul Ascension Realm cultivator.

Then, he would be on equal footing as Senior Brother Bai Yi, who was ranked fifth among the top disciples.

‘I wonder what kind of strength the top four disciples have.’

Once he surpassed the top disciples, the remaining ones were some older disciples and some powerful elders.

He didn’t know how long it would take for him to surpass them all.

From the looks of it, the first-ranked disciple must be at the Return to Void Realm.

The powerful elders would definitely be beyond that realm. Otherwise, they couldn’t have captured Gu Qing.

The elders were not like the top disciples.

Top disciples were young and with infinite potential.

Once the potential was exhausted, they would probably have to step down from the position of a top disciple.

Being young, having high potential, and having strong combat strength were the requirements for a chief disciple.

Lacking any of these three could potentially disqualify one from becoming a top disciple.

When people said Han Ming possessed the demeanor of a top disciple, it signified just how high his potential was.

And anyone with similar talent was nothing compared to Han Ming.

‘Recently, I heard that he went for training again. He is probably preparing to consolidate his cultivation and advance toward the Golden Core Realm.’

After tending to the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, he returned to his house.

He took out a stone tablet to check the messages.

Perhaps because the matter with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was over with, the three were active in the chats once again. [Liu: Do you think Jing is watching our conversation?] [Gui: I’m quite curious about Jing. I wonder how he leads his life.] [Xing: It’s hard to imagine. It must be different from us.]

[Gui: Yeah. It feels like he is always walking in the dark… mysterious and unpredictable.]

Watching them chat, Jiang Hao shook his head.

It seemed that the impression he left of himself was indeed one of strength and solitude.

However, his ordinary days were much more boring than they imagined.

If they knew that he spent every day tending to spirit herbs, they would probably be very surprised.

He chuckled and continued reading the conversation.

[Liu: I’ve been looking for someone lately, and it’s quite challenging to find them. But with the right approach, it becomes much easier.]

[Xing: Did you find them?]

[Liu: Almost there. Thanks for the clue, Xing.]

Because the name Chi Tian was mentioned during the gathering, Liu asked Xing about it.

It was easier to find the person if he knew about the origin of the person.

[Gui: How did you find them?]

[Liu: I couldn’t find that person because he had changed his appearance. However, I could find the person who led him to that place. So, everything fell into place.]

[Xing: Will the person talk?]

[Liu: There’s nothing he won’t say. If he doesn’t, it’s because we couldn’t agree on the price. In a little while, someone will go to that place, and I’ll pay Jing’s reward for that. But I think there’s more to come. Perhaps Jing will need my help.]

Jiang Hao nodded. Liu was right. He did need Liu’s help.

However, he didn’t need it now.

What surprised him was that Liu had found Chi Tian so quickly.

He wondered what Chi Tian was feeling right now..
