Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 338 - A New Junior Sister Comes to Compete for the Spiritual Medicine Garden
Chapter 338: A New Junior Sister Comes to Compete for the Spiritual Medicine Garden
Putting away the language compendium, Jiang Hao began to reflect on the meeting.
“The list task concerning the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is over, and the task of the sixth stele has passed; now only the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower remains.”
The outcome of the list task is good; as long as the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead isn’t found, there should be no issues.
What changes the content of the sixth stele will bring is unknown.
There’s no need to think too much about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower; just keep an eye on the undercover agents nearby.
Aside from the meeting tasks, there’s the Xing task, which is the most difficult.
However, since the target has fled to the south, they are likely hiding in some sect.
“The Tianyin Sect has some reputation in the south and is a newly rising major faction, making it a likely choice. Especially since the sect is very strict, it provides a place to avoid danger.”
Xing task can only wait; perhaps there will be a chance encounter, and if not, a reason will need to be found to excuse oneself.
After all, the task isn’t an absolute must to complete.
Beyond the tasks are some people and some matters.
For example, Taoist Shang’an.
Taoist Shang’an must have gone to the Haotian Sect, as his master said, with limitless future potential.
Remembering that he had disrupted his plans, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh.
It would be best to avoid them in the future.
Then there’s the Mingyue Sect’s Dao Discussion Conference being postponed, which is also a good thing.
It gives Chu Chuan ample time.
Otherwise, advancing to Foundation Establishment would be difficult.
Other than these, there’s the matter of the King Hai Luo.
He actually had a backup plan and moved the person.
“If I hadn’t heard from Liu, and next time I threatened him with a different name, wouldn’t I be the laughingstock?”
Shaking his head, Jiang Hao decided not to dwell on it any longer.
The meeting was in the past, and in the coming days, he needed to familiarize himself with the sect’s situation.
He also had to be wary of Gui, not knowing where she was now.
Arriving at the courtyard, Jiang Hao felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The rich spiritual energy made him feel insecure.
He always felt like he was hiding secrets here, vulnerable to prying eyes.
It was like getting used to living in a wooden hut and suddenly moving to a palace.
Something doesn’t feel quite right. freewebnoveℓ.com
“I need to figure out where this is coming from.”
Early in the morning, Jiang Hao watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and then gently kicked the drooling rabbit:
“Let’s go.”
The startled rabbit opened its eyes in confusion, looking at Jiang Hao with a puzzled face.
It seemed to be asking, when did you come back, master?
Then it had an epiphany, affirming to itself that he had returned last night.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to the rabbit’s changing expressions.
Instead, he took the lead and walked out of the courtyard.
“Master, you haven’t been back for a year, did you bring me a gift?” the rabbit asked as it followed him out.
“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.
I brought you twenty-four thousand spirit stones.
“What is it? Friends on the road are all waiting to see Lord Rabbit’s gift,” the rabbit said excitedly.
“You’ll need to wait some days, let me assess the situation,” Jiang Hao said with a chuckle.
“By the way, someone came looking for you while you were away,” the rabbit said, turning its neck collar.
Jiang Hao glanced at the rabbit and slowly asked, “Who was it?”
The rabbit’s cultivation was now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and its collar was of Golden Core level.
It could still be used for a long time.
The collar wouldn’t break unless the rabbit advanced to the mid-stage of Golden Core.
Actually, the money spent on the collar could have been saved, but the rabbit was too noisy.
“It was the man-eating woman who came before,” the rabbit said with a bit of trepidation:
“I feel like she didn’t give Lord Rabbit much face. She’s not going to become the mistress, is she?”
“No,” Jiang Hao replied.
He knew who the rabbit was referring to; it must be Senior Sister Ming Yi, who hadn’t appeared for a long time.
Senior Sister Ming Yi’s cultivation should now be at the early or mid-stage of Golden Core.
However, her potential danger should not be underestimated.
It’s best not to make enemies if it can be avoided.
“Besides visitors, was there anything else?” Jiang Hao asked.
“The Spiritual Medicine Garden has been much busier lately; it’s often just me and Xiao Li wandering around,” the rabbit said, tightening its collar around itself like it was hanging.
Jiang Hao understood that Cheng Chou didn’t have time to roam around with them.
It used to be Cheng Chou who looked after them.
What puzzled Jiang Hao was why the Spiritual Medicine Garden had suddenly become so busy?
As he wondered, a talisman flew towards him.
It was from Baiyue Lake, saying that Elder Bai wanted him to go to Lawless Tower to interrogate the Heavenly King Hai Luo.
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
It made sense for Zhuang Yuzhen to come for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, so his interrogation was understandable.
Now the Sea Luo Heavenly King came for the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, but what did that have to do with him?
“Previously, the Sea Luo Heavenly King was cooperative, otherwise with his strength he would have fallen to the early stage of Nascent Soul by now. So why has he suddenly become uncooperative?”
Suddenly, Jiang Hao remembered what Liu had said.
“Could it be that he thinks it’s time to transfer and he has nothing to fear anymore?”
Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt that Liu was indeed an incredible person.
Jiang Hao wasn’t in a hurry to go; Elder Bai hadn’t given a deadline.
Today, he would first find out about the situation in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and if he had time tonight, he would go over; if not, he would go first thing tomorrow morning.
He would have a few words with the Heavenly King Hai Luo and then come back to continue with his busy schedule.
Keeping the other party hanging.
Just like with Zhuang Yuzhen, it was a matter of seeing who couldn’t stand it first.
Being too clear might actually backfire.
After all, he couldn’t threaten that Miao Anxian.
Arriving at the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao saw that the people inside were continuously busy.
But just by looking at the busy spiritual herbs, Jiang Hao knew that there would be turmoil in the Tianyin Sect in the coming days.
Either someone was going to attack or they were going to attack someone else.
Most of these were healing spiritual herbs.
Some were to be taken directly, and some needed to be sent for pill refinement.
There were also herbs for concentration and improving cultivation.
If there was going to be a fight, these things needed to be fully prepared, and production couldn’t stop during the conflict.
It could be said that whenever the Tianyin Sect went to war with another sect, it was the most generous time.
Those who returned alive would see significant progress in their cultivation.
“Senior Brother Jiang, you’re finally back?” Cheng Chou sighed in relief when he saw Jiang Hao.
He found that overseeing the Spiritual Medicine Garden was not as easy as he thought.
There was pressure from all sides, and suddenly he was tasked with preparing the spiritual medicine.
He heard that other Spiritual Medicine Gardens had accidents, and he remembered Jiang Hao’s previous instruction not to add people.
Adding people must be done in his presence.
Cheng Chou knew he wasn’t good at judging people, so he could only wait for Jiang Hao to return.
“You’ve worked hard,” Jiang Hao said as he observed the Spiritual Medicine Garden himself.
He noticed that there were quite a few special spiritual herbs in the corner.
“Whose are those?”
“They were sent by Hundred Bones Forest, they said it was for foster care.”
Hundred Bones Forest?
Jiang Hao immediately thought of Bai Ye.
Was the other party planning to make a move again?
Had my sealing technique ended?
Jiang Hao felt the need to advance his cultivation quickly and pay another visit.
Having some free time, the other party actually started to take action.
Was his spirit-sealing technique not lasting enough?
“Right, because the Spiritual Medicine Garden is short-staffed recently, some Senior Brothers are planning to recruit help. I wouldn’t dare to take just anyone, but this time they mentioned new inner disciples and some outer disciples,” Cheng Chou said somewhat helplessly.
“I just suggested waiting a bit longer, I’m hesitant to just let anyone in.”
“Inner disciples too?”
Jiang Hao wondered what the Spiritual Medicine Garden needed so many inner disciples for.
He alone was enough; the others just came by occasionally.
Cheng Chou was added later because of Xiao Li.
Now there were even more coming, and it felt like they were trying to take his place.
“It was that Junior Sister who said she wanted to come,” Cheng Chou explained.
“Junior Sister?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
Among the inner disciples, Cheng Chou should be the youngest, so how could there be a new Junior Sister?
