Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 332 - Spirit Refining was suppressed

Chapter 332: Spirit Refining was suppressed

Stepping out of the mine, Jiang Hao saw Fairy Lan Qian sitting cross-legged in the distance.

And Yun Qi, half-lying on a tree resting.

There was also a woman kneeling under the tree.

Looking puzzled, Jiang Hao noticed that the woman’s cultivation level was higher than Nascent Soul.

At that moment, the woman was terrified and couldn’t move at all.

“Do we look that easy to bully? You, a late-stage Spirit Refining, dare to come here?” Yun Qi sat up and smiled at the woman in front of him.

“How does it feel to watch your own cultivation level fall little by little? This cost me quite a few spirit stones, which I’ve been earning for so long, and it’s not even enough to cover the small change. Will you compensate me now?”

“P-please forgive me, senior. I have a treasure that can be used as compensation,” the woman pleaded.

Then Jiang Hao saw her cultivation level fall to the peak of Nascent Soul.

Another curse?

Jiang Hao glanced at Yun Qi, then activated his divine ability.

Surprised, he took a closer look, but it wasn’t anything significant.

Soon, a response to his divine abilities appeared.

【Yun Qi: Corpse God Sect true disciple, Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation, had his mind wiped by Bi Zhu and is under her control.】

Jiang Hao withdrew his gaze, feeling unexpected; this information was somewhat scant, much less than what he got from Taoist Shang’an.

‘Having his mind wiped and being controlled, does that mean her true body isn’t here?’

‘But now I’ve confirmed Fairy Gui’s name, Bi Zhu.’

‘I can be on guard in the future.’

Although the information was limited, it was very useful.

However, such matters couldn’t be discussed at the gathering, as it could easily disrupt the balance.

Later, he noticed that the woman cursed had left after handing over her treasure.

Yun Qi didn’t kill her.

After all, he was under a false identity, so he didn’t care.

After dealing with the Spirit Refining powerhouse, he came to Jiang Hao and gave him four thousand spirit stones.

Jiang Hao hurriedly thanked him.

That made eight thousand in total.

Adding to his previous amount, it totaled forty-seven thousand.

The losses brought by September Spring were about to be compensated.

However, these past few days, he tried and felt that his understanding of the Primordial Heart Sutra was becoming increasingly profound.

He didn’t know if it was because of September Spring or Tianbei Mountain.

Or perhaps it was due to both.

So far, the change he had noticed was that his strength had increased slightly without any change in his cultivation level.

Moreover, the Purple Qi on his body had become much denser.

The effects of his techniques had also improved.

For example, with sealing, previously he had to seriously injure someone of the same level to seal them.

Now, he could attempt it if he caught them off guard.

It would still be broken after a while.

But he could reinforce it continuously.

After handing over the other ores to Yun Qi, Jiang Hao began to rest.

He was waiting for the mine to open.

Lately, the mine could be dug for a long time and also closed for a long time.

This time it would probably start with half a month.

Since he couldn’t mine, perhaps he could do something else.

Jiang Hao looked at Yun Qi curiously and asked: “Senior, does Tianbei Mountain still appear?”

After Tianbei Mountain disappeared, he hadn’t received any summons.

Logically, Tianbei Mountain should appear one more time.

“You should ask Senior Sister about that,” Yun Qi said, looking at Fairy Lan Qian.

At that moment, Fairy Lan Qian finished her cultivation and said to them: “Logically, it should appear one more time, but because of the peerless genius, it might have appeared all six times already. Currently, there’s no news of it appearing anywhere. It’s highly unlikely that it will appear again.”

It’s not going to appear again?

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He wanted to ask what the peerless genius was all about.

But he didn’t dare to ask too much.

It was easy to annoy people.

He would ask Zhuang Yuzhen when he got back.

“Senior Sister, what exactly did the peerless genius go to Tianbei Mountain for?” Yun Qi asked.

Good question, Jiang Hao thought.

Fairy Gui was good at asking questions, both inside and outside the gathering.

“He reached the summit. He probably went to comprehend the highest stele. It’s said that only a very few can approach the highest stele of Heavenly Gang. In the history of Corpse God Sect, there should be about six or so. I heard one of them say that the top stele was blank, but he comprehended something from it. I don’t understand either,” Fairy Lan Qian explained.

Jiang Hao hadn’t comprehended anything; his talent was indeed far less than the people here.

He didn’t mind that.

As long as he continued to hide in Tianyin Sect, he could steadily grow stronger.

There was no need to compare his weaknesses to their strengths.

However, the fact that Tianbei Mountain wouldn’t appear again made Jiang Hao feel regretful.

He hadn’t wiped off all the dust yet.

For a moment, he looked forward even more to the next opportunity to enter.

Next time he came, he would visit Tianbei Mountain and continue mining for the rest of the time.

Jiang Hao cultivated on the spot for a month before the mine finally opened.

Ever since Tianbei Mountain appeared, the mine had undergone very strange changes.

Completely different from before.

“There’s only half a month left; you can only mine for ten days,” Fairy Lan Qian said calmly.

“The rest of the time, try to communicate with the Human Element formation to facilitate your departure.”

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked her.

Then he entered the mine again.

Following two wealthy seniors was actually quite good.

He could get a fair share of spirit stones.

Of course, the premise was that they wouldn’t turn on him at the last moment.

He had already assessed Fairy Lan Qian; a normal Corpse God Sect disciple with mid-stage Spirit Refining cultivation.

Her personality was somewhat cold, and so far, there was no indication that she intended to devour his spirit stones.

There was also no threatening presence from Fairy Gui’s side.

I couldn’t mine for the full ten days this time.

On the eighth day, the rooster crowed.

Jiang Hao glanced at his panel.

【Vital Energy: 98/100 (can be cultivated)】

【Cultivation: 99/100 (can be cultivated)】

“Just a few days short, what a pity.”

However, it was destined that he couldn’t advance here; he couldn’t possibly ascend under the watchful eyes of others.

So, missing a little didn’t matter much.

After returning, he could try to advance within a week.

Then, he would go look for Bai Ye.

But acting immediately upon going out would raise suspicions, so he’d have to delay a bit.

When leaving, Yun Qi claimed the ores, saying:

“No time to sell them, everyone is preparing to leave. I’ll take the remaining ores. You can still get two thousand.”

Jiang Hao was delighted to receive the spirit stones.

He had made a profit of ten thousand during this period.

Not too shabby.

With that, his total spirit stones amounted to forty-nine thousand.

Just a bit shy of fifty thousand.

Unfortunately, after returning, it would be the new year, and the day of the Nirvana of the Peach Tree would also arrive.

These spirit stones wouldn’t last long.

“Do you know how to connect with the Human Element Formation?” Fairy Lan Qian asked.

“I do,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Then you can just hide here for the remaining days. No one dares to come close to this place in the Blood Tide Forest,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

Jiang Hao quickly expressed his gratitude.

Actually, he wanted to change locations, but it seemed not so feasible now.

Afterward, Yun Qi and Fairy Lan Qian left the mine.

For them, it was just a casual help to someone on the verge of establishing their foundation.

They also made some spirit stones in the process.

The two made their way to a remote area of the Blood Tide Forest.

“Senior Sister, let’s part ways here,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

“I won’t be going out.”

“Is that so?” Fairy Lan Qian nodded slightly without asking further.

“By the way, this is for you, Senior Sister.” Saying this, Yun Qi handed her a blood-colored bead.

“This can save your life in a pinch, its destructive power is immense. How immense? Let’s say, even the elder who brought you to the Tianyin Sect wouldn’t dare to touch it directly. Oh, and there’s this.”

Yun Qi then took out a jade pendant.

“Keep this, Senior Sister. I have some people in the south and the east. If one day you feel like leaving on a whim, you can look for me.”

Fairy Lan Qian: “...”
