Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 216 - The Rabbit is Gone Again

The terrifying presence they emitted made him feel that even if he were to advance another major realm from his Nascent Soul stage, it wouldn’t make a difference.

“The gap is too big; I need to find a way to get stronger quickly.”

For the sake of safety.

He stayed in the same spot for half a day before heading to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

......

Three days later.

Jiang Hao had not sensed any danger nor heard any rumors.

Not only in the Tianyin Sect but even the Secret Whisper Slate had no related messages.

For a moment, he felt as if everything that had happened that day was just an illusion.

Now he was back to normal. If the attacker had indeed been killed, there would certainly be some repercussions.

Either from the Tianyin Sect or from Dan Yuan’s side.

He decided to wait quietly for the Tianyin Sect to release news or for the slate meeting to begin.

......

That day, Jiang Hao found Cheng Chou.

“Senior Brother Jiang?” Cheng Chou was somewhat excited.

But he comforted himself, thinking it might not be about that matter.

As long as he was mentally prepared, even if he was disappointed, it wouldn’t be too hard to bear.

“Come to your residence. I will help you advance to Foundation Establishment,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

Now at the early stage of Nascent Soul, it was not difficult for him to help someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining to reach Foundation Establishment.

Cheng Chou suppressed his elation and nodded in agreement.

In an ordinary courtyard, Cheng Chou sat cross-legged, practicing the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions.

Jiang Hao watched him, occasionally offering guidance.

“Your heart is a bit restless, causing the hundred sounds within you to not resonate.”

After speaking, Jiang Hao was not in a hurry but waited for Cheng Chou to calm his mind.

After a long time, Jiang Hao saw that Cheng Chou’s breath had stabilized, his power was balanced, and the resonance of the hundred sounds had reached the most harmonious state.

“Not bad.”

Given Cheng Chou’s talent, achieving such balanced resonance of the hundred sounds was indeed commendable.

After waiting a little while, Jiang Hao no longer hesitated:

“Open your mouth.”

Whoosh!

A pill flew into Cheng Chou’s mouth, and the medicinal power immediately disrupted the balance of power.

“Don’t worry too much, maintain the previous balance of power, just feel the changes in your body, there’s no need to be concerned.”

The powerful force caused Cheng Chou pain, but he gritted his teeth and continued to maintain the previous circulation of power.

In his view, his advancement was different from others.

At least he had a Senior Brother by his side to guide him, an advantage others did not have.

This also meant his chances of success were higher than others.

But the immense pain almost overwhelmed his mind, and for the first time, he directly felt how difficult it was to advance to Foundation Establishment.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt the pain begin to fade.

A surge of newfound strength welled up in his body, so immense that it was beyond his imagination.

He never dreamed that he would possess such a level of power.

His Foundation Establishment was successful.

When he awoke, he found that night had already fallen.

And Jiang Hao was no longer by his side.

His gratitude was too profound for words.

As he stepped outside, he saw two people standing at the doorway.

It was Senior Brother Mu Qi and Senior Sister Miao Tinglian, whom he occasionally encountered in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“Senior Brother, Senior Sister,” he quickly bowed respectfully.

“I told you he had completed his Foundation Establishment,” Miao Tinglian said with a smile.

“Indeed, he has completed Foundation Establishment,” Mu Qi added with a smile.

“You’re Cheng Junior Brother, right? The one who works in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.”

“Yes, that’s me,” Cheng Chou replied, bowing his head.

“We happened to pass by and noticed you were undergoing Foundation Establishment. Would you like to come with us to see our master?” Mu Qi asked.

Since he had completed Foundation Establishment, he would become an inner disciple.

At Ku Wuchang’s residence.

“You mean you want to stay and work in the Spiritual Medicine Garden just like before?” Ku Wuchang asked Cheng Chou, who was still kneeling on the ground.

“Yes,” Cheng Chou replied.

“What Junior Brother Cheng means is that he wants to continue the work he did as an outer sect member without affecting Jiang Junior Brother’s duties as a guardian,” Mu Qi explained on the side.

Many people at Duanqing Cliff knew that Jiang Hao liked to stay in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Although others were not familiar with Jiang Hao, no one competed with him.

However, the Spiritual Medicine Garden only needed one inner sect disciple to watch over it long-term, so having an additional one required consent.

Ku Wuchang looked at him, his expression unchanged.

“Do you often take care of Xiao Li?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Then let’s keep it that way.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qi respectfully said.

“Then I will take Junior Brother Cheng to find a new residence.”

As for Xiao Li, he had occasionally heard Miao Tinglian mention her.

She was likely to be the next true disciple.

After confirming that Cheng Chou could successfully advance.

......

Jiang Hao went to the market to sell talismans and encountered that big customer again at his stall.

The customer said, “Didn’t you say you temporarily didn’t have a Hundred Thousand Divine Sword Talisman? So many days have passed, and you still don’t have them? Remember not to boast next time.”

In the end, the customer bought all the talismans.

Jiang Hao thus had enough spirit stones to buy a second Silver Moon Flower petal.

It was barely enough.

......

The next day.

Cheng Chou said he could continue to stay in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

He also mentioned that the master had brought up Xiao Li.

Jiang Hao didn’t think much of it; after so many years, it was inevitable that Xiao Li’s uniqueness would be discovered.

Since master had no intention of intervening, it was best to leave things as they were.

However, Cheng Chou’s decision to continue staying in the Spiritual Medicine Garden was quite a surprise to him.

Although having this assistant would make his life much easier, people should aim higher, and there was no need to limit someone else’s development.

That would only backfire.

So, helping Cheng Chou with his Foundation Establishment meant that he was expected to leave the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Being able to send Xiao Li back was enough.

Now that he could continue to stay was a good thing.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao suddenly felt that with Cheng Chou around, he might one day be sent to the mines.

That... would be more than welcome.

......

Three days later.

Xiao Li appeared before Jiang Hao, her face full of excitement.

She had now reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This meant she had been at Tianyin Sect for over two years.

What troubled Jiang Hao, though, was that she was wearing the Ring of Heaven and Earth around her neck again.

Fortunately, the ring was quite large and could be considered looking good.

“Are you ready?” Jiang Hao asked her.

“Yep, I’ve prepared everything that grandma and grandpa like to eat and put it in the storage treasure,” Xiao Li replied.

Jiang Hao nodded, gave Cheng Chou some spirit stones and talismans.

Even though he had completed Foundation Establishment, these items were still very useful.

After sending them off, Jiang Hao sighed softly.

Every visit meant that Xiao Li’s grandparents aged a bit more, and the final farewell was getting closer.

Or perhaps, it would be the last time.

Sometimes, without realizing it, you’ve seen someone important for the last time.

When he returned to the courtyard, Jiang Hao saw a figure in red and white crouching in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

He instinctively looked at the rabbit beside him.

Sure enough, at some point, the rabbit had been thrown into the river and was drifting downstream.

“Greetings, senior,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

“Have you prepared the Silver Moon Flower petals?”

Hong Yuye stood up and asked Jiang Hao.
