Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 342 - Pushing Too Far

Chapter 342: Pushing Too Far

After bringing the people into the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao had Cheng Chou assign tasks.

Including that Junior Sister Gu Qin.

Watching their backs, Jiang Hao activated his divine ability.

“Appraisal.”

【Gu Qing: A fallen immortal from the Fallen Immortal Race, overheard some secrets while stealing treasures from the Mingyue Sect and was pursued by them. She managed to escape all dangers due to a powerful treasure protecting her but was still severely injured, causing her cultivation to fall to the Return to Void completion stage. She assumed the name Gu Qin and became an inner disciple of the Tianyin Sect to recuperate. She came to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to absorb the essence of spiritual medicines to restore her cultivation. After using charm techniques on you several times and finding them ineffective, she’s considering whether to eliminate you and take your place as the manager of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.】

Seeing a string of feedback, Jiang Hao kept his composure and went to the side of a simple hut.

After sitting down, his calm gaze began to ripple.

Return to Void completion?

What kind of realm was that?

Jiang Hao didn’t even have a concept of it.

And now, such an existence was right beside him, and it was quite possible that she might make a move against him.

Too strong, there was no way to guard against it, and if she acted, he wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

The fact that she was Gu Qing was the least surprising.

“Really came to the Tianyin Sect for refuge, but she’s much stronger than expected.”

“Return to Void completion, even after being severely injured and falling to this level, it can be inferred that the strengths of Liu and Xing are outrageously strong.”

Gu Qing was the one that slipped through the net, caught by Xing once and then by Liu.

Her escape was not due to her cultivation level but because she had a powerful treasure.

What this treasure was, Jiang Hao didn’t know, nor did he have any desire to find out.

Because danger could come at any time.

And he had no power to resist.

“I need to stabilize her first, to give her a good recovery environment, but I must do something.”

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Hao couldn’t come up with a good plan.

The difference in strength was too great.

After the work was assigned, Cheng Chou came over.

“What task did you assign to that Junior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Junior Sister Gu said she wanted to take care of some of the better spiritual medicines, and I agreed,” Cheng Chou answered with a smile.

He seemed very happy to be able to help.

Jiang Hao glanced at the man in front of him, and that glance seemed to peer into the other’s soul.

In an instant, Cheng Chou shivered with cold.

With a hint of confusion in his eyes, Jiang Hao sighed and said:

“You should keep busy in the outer sect Spiritual Medicine Garden for the next few days or take the rabbits and the others to run errands.”

“Okay,” Cheng Chou replied with his head down.

Although he didn’t understand why, he didn’t dare to ask more questions.

After Cheng Chou left, Jiang Hao began to tend to the spiritual medicines, occasionally feeling the covert gaze of someone watching him.

Without even thinking, he knew it was Gu Qing.

It wasn’t long before he became somewhat intolerable.

Mainly because he was worried that the other party would take direct action.

It seemed that the other party didn’t understand the rules of the Tianyin Sect, and although he would like to see the other party punished for it, he didn’t want to become the victim that caused her punishment.

Leaving the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao headed straight for the Enforcement Peak.

A year had passed, and Liu Xingchen’s task should also be completed.

The Lawless Tower had captured quite a few people targeting the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, and there was no longer a need for pioneers like Liu Xingchen.

As expected, he met Liu Xingchen smoothly.

“Junior Brother, you’ve reached the peak of Foundation Establishment?” Liu Xingchen asked in surprise.

“It seems the opportunity in the Corpse Realm is indeed formidable.”

“It’s just good luck. A peerless genius appeared in the Corpse Realm,” Jiang Hao said.

With Liu Xingchen’s abilities, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find out these things, so Jiang Hao didn’t think of hiding anything.

However, Liu Xingchen’s current state was a bit strange, showing no aura at all.

Those three should have joined forces.

After a year, why hadn’t they counterattacked?

Could they have already failed?

Otherwise, why would Liu Xingchen’s aura be so pure?

Completely different from before.

If he hadn’t already used the appraisal, he would have wanted to identify and see.

However, the possibility of being devoured by those three was low, as Liu Xingchen’s strength hadn’t changed much.

That is to say, his Nascent Soul hadn’t been nourished.

Or perhaps they had already completed the possession, and the current Liu Xingchen was not the real Liu Xingchen.

But it didn’t seem likely.

“A peerless genius? It seems I’ll need to find some time to learn more from Junior Brother,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

“Do you have important matters to discuss on your visit this time?”

Compared to the matters of the Corpse Realm, he was more interested in Jiang Hao’s affairs.

“There might be another mole in the Spiritual Medicine Garden,” Jiang Hao said with a serious face.

“But I’m not entirely sure.”

Since he couldn’t handle it himself, the only option was to seek help from the Hall of Enforcement.

The other party wasn’t clean and, although not a mole, still met the conditions for the Hall of Enforcement to capture.

As for why he knew, that wasn’t important; Liu Xingchen would just feel something was off.

“Oh?”

Hearing about an undercover, Liu Xingchen became interested and smiled.

“Give me the list, Junior Brother. I’ll check it out in the next few days.”

Investigations take time, otherwise, the Hall of Enforcement wouldn’t dare to arrest people rashly.

After all, the peaks of the sect were not soft persimmons that anyone could squeeze.

After leaving the Enforcement Peak, Jiang Hao planned to make talismans.

His Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman had run out, and he needed to make another one.

But it was easy to damage his divine powers.

He also needed a new saber.

After browsing around, he chose a black knife with strange patterns.

Suitable for Golden Core users, it was priced at three thousand six hundred.

This was the most ordinary quality of magical treasures.

The price was even lower than some better Foundation Establishment magical treasures.

But for Jiang Hao, this was more durable.

Golden Core magical treasures under four thousand were few and far between in the entire market.

Later, he spent four hundred to buy materials for making the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.

In total, he spent four thousand spirit stones.

He now had forty-five thousand spirit stones left.

“Let’s see how much high-grade spiritual medicine seeds cost.”

Now, only by planting high-grade spiritual medicine seeds could he obtain bubbles; other methods either didn’t work or the chances were too low.

Soon, he walked out of the Xuelian Pavilion.

The unit price ranged from two thousand to ten thousand spirit stones.

This was somewhat expensive.

Two thousand...

With forty thousand, he could buy twenty seeds.

Even if only fifteen sprouted, it wouldn’t be bad.

He could sell the spiritual medicines after a few months, and theoretically, this cycle could continue.

The question was whether he could protect them.

Another problem was that high-grade seeds were rare, and those that were hard to sell, he couldn’t touch.

“There are many problems, but for now, the priority is to get past this hurdle.”

Back in his courtyard, Jiang Hao began making talismans, but soon he realized his cultivation was still not sufficient.

“No rush, can’t be hasty, wait two more days to advance to the peak of Nascent Soul.”

Afterward, Jiang Hao began to refine his cultivation, waiting for the day to advance.

......

The next day.

Jiang Hao went to his spiritual medicine area, intending to tend to it.

However, half of the spiritual medicines had begun to wither, and upon inspection, he found their roots had been absorbed.

Even if they recovered, they would no longer have their original medicinal properties.

Perhaps after decades of cultivation, they could recover.

However, the fostered spirit stones had already exceeded the value of the spiritual herbs.

He silently dealt with these spiritual herbs without making a fuss.

Patience.

......

Another day passed.

Jiang Hao picked up a bubble of energy in the courtyard.

【Cultivation+1】

【Vital Energy+1】

On his way to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, among the many white bubbles, he saw a blue bubble again.

【Vital Energy+1】

At this moment, Jiang Hao felt a bit of joy in his heart.

Full.

Tonight, he could advance to the complete stage of Nascent Soul.

Although it was of no use against a complete Return to Void, it would allow him to make a Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, which would add a layer of safety.

But on this day, half of his spiritual herbs withered again.

Facing an ordinary person kneeling and begging for mercy, Jiang Hao simply said:

“Go busy yourself with other things, and be careful.”

Since the spiritual herbs were under the other person’s care, he was frightened.
