Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness - Chapter 1092: Junior Sister, This Is A Demon Sect (2)

How could a dragon from the same era as Gu Jin not be an immortal?

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. He could only take one step at a time.

He would wait for the other Heavenly Kings to try to become immortals before heading to the Lawless Tower.

He could continue to recover his cultivation for the time being.

He had enough achievements, and his status was much higher in the sect.

But if he stopped going to the Spirit Herb Garden, others would get suspicious.

He was also afraid that his Master would think he was not needed in the garden anymore.

That would be troublesome.

December passed quickly.

At the beginning of January, Jiang Hao sighed in dismay. He had expected his cultivation to recover to its peak, but that had not happened.

He had placed a Mountain Sea Seal on the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron, but he still could not recover his cultivation fast enough. It would take another month.

Without more divine souls, he would not be able to increase his progress.

He looked at the interface.

[Name: Jiang Hao]

[Age: 44]

[Cultivation: First Stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]

‘Halfway there… I need to clean more divine treasures.’

Sometimes, the progress was far worse than mining.

Where could he find so many treasures in this world?

He wished the three pearls could be wiped.

Unfortunately, he would die if he tried.

‘I rented my pickaxe to that person… How am I supposed to collect more bubbles?’

He could still rely on the Candlelight Pill Pavilion for spirit herbs.

He just needed some spirit stones.

There were also three packs of Red Azure tea that he could sell.

He could go to the mine. He could apply to supervise, but it might not happen in a day.

Another option was to wipe treasures. That was the most difficult. Even if he did find treasures, he could only wipe them once. He would need to find treasures that had been dug out recently.

‘If I can find someone who digs treasures for a living, maybe I can work something out with them…’

Even if there were such people, it was impossible for them to often find divine items.

Sighing, Jiang Hao got up and headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

After walking for a while, he frowned. Someone was watching him.

It seemed that person had been watching this path for a long time.

After a while, the people came out of hiding and stood in front of him.

There were three people.

They wore masks and were at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

They were here with ill intentions.

“Jiang Hao of the Cliff of Broken Hearts?” one of them asked.

The one who asked him was a woman. The other two were men.

Judging from their appearance, he could tell that they were middle-aged.

“Seniors, do I know you?” Jiang Hao asked respectfully.

These three people were waiting for him, but they did not seem to be from the other sects.

They showed him no contempt.

“How have you been, Junior Brother?” asked the woman.

“I’ve been alright,” said Jiang Hao. “Is there something I can help you with, Seniors?”

“It has been difficult to cultivate lately. I heard you have some pills and spirit stones. I want to… borrow some,” said the woman.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. It had been a long time since he had encountered a situation like this.

Then, he appraised the woman.

He sighed when he saw the results.

In the end, he shook his head. “Senior Sister, you’re a little late. Someone else borrowed all my spirit stones. He did not carry spirit stones with him and had sold all his pills as well.

Other than a few packs of tea, he had nothing of value with him.

“Junior Brother, why are you making things difficult for us? We really don’t have spirit stones. We know your status is very high in the sect. Lending a few spirit stones won’t affect you that much,” said the woman.

At that moment, the aura of the peak of the Gold Core Realm surged.

“We know that you’re not weak. But Blood Wish Path practitioners aren’t very strong either. Besides, we have made our own preparations,” said a man.

Jiang Hao could sense a formation extending from the ground.

“Seniors, please, there is no need for this,” said Jiang Hao.

He stepped forward. The Demonic Sound Slash rang.

A moment later, Jiang Hao headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

He saw three terrified people kneeling by the river.

They could not get up because their legs trembled.

Outside the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao inspected three storage treasures. He shook his head and sighed before throwing them into the water.

They were too poor. They had less than three thousand spirit stones combined.

It would be just enough to pay the Task Hall.

As he entered the garden, Jiang Hao lowered his head. He did not look happy.

Cheng Chou was not around. He had gone to take care of the outer sect’s Spirit Herb Garden.

No one dared to approach him.

“Senior Brother Jiang?” called out a voice softly.

Jiang Hao raised his head. He remained indifferent when he saw her.

“Junior Sister Luo Xi…”

“Are you busy, Senior Brother?” Luo Xi asked with a smile.

Jiang Hao nodded and continued to work.

Luo Xi did not leave. She watched him from the side.

When it was almost noon, Luo Xi finally said, “Senior Brother, you seem to be in a bad mood…”

Jiang Hao nodded. “A little.”

“Something happened today,” he said.

“What is it?” Luo Xi asked eagerly.

If he was talking about something personal that affected his mood, it meant they were getting closer.

However, she felt that it was unbecoming for a man to complain about small things. She took a point away for that. If there were five strikes, it would mean he was not the one for her.

It would mean he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

‘Senior Brother doesn’t really seem as great as I expected, but I can cope with that.’

“Senior Brother, just tell me. I’ll help you if I can,” she said.

Jiang Hao looked at her. “It’s a little difficult for me to say it.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I won’t tell anyone. Besides, everyone has things they can’t talk about. It’s only natural,” she said.

Jiang Hao nodded and looked outside. “Junior Sister, can we talk in private?”

“Of course.” Luo Xi smiled and nodded.

‘Taking me somewhere with no one around. You seem very impatient. One point deducted.’ She thought.

They walked to the forest.

“Senior Brother, tell me. I’m all ears,” Luo Xi said.

Jiang Hao stood under the tree and looked at the sun filtering through the gaps in the trees.

“Junior Sister, you may be someone extraordinary with a good background, but I’m just an ordinary person. I like my days to be peaceful and quiet. I don’t like too many complications.”

“Of course. I would never interrupt your peaceful life,” Luo Xi said confidently.

“I met three people at the peak of the Golden Core Realm when I was walking to the Spirit Herb garden,” said Jiang Hao.

Luo Xi was shocked. “What? Did they do something? Did they attack you, Senior Brother?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“They dared to attack you? But you are in the same realm as them. Maybe you just lack a magic treasure to be able to attack them. I can lend it to you. Then, you can show them that you can’t be harassed like that,” said Luo Xi angrily.

“They said they were working under someone’s order,” said Jiang Hao as he looked at her calmly. “Junior Sister, how do you think I should deal with the one who made them do that?”

Luo Xi frowned. “Is it possible that the person who instructed them could be doing this for your own good?”

“Could be.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Luo Xi was delighted. “Senior Brother, you just have to listen to me properly. I…”

Before she could finish the sentence, a sword light flashed.

Whoosh!

The sword moved like lightning.

In the next moment, blood flowed from a cut from Luo Xi’s neck.

Luo Xi’s clothes were wet with blood.

She trembled in fear.

The eyes of her attacker were devoid of any emotion.

Luo Xi found it difficult to breathe.

She fell on her knees and crawled away.

She wanted to get away from the person in front of her.

“I hope you won’t create unnecessary trouble for me, Junior Sister. Can you do that?” he asked.

Luo Xi was terrified and did not know how to answer for a moment.

When Jiang Hao took a step forward, she cried out in fear.

Then, she nodded.

“I heard that you were from the Sunset Immortal Sect. Maybe you don’t know this, but the Sunset Immortal Sect is an immortal sect. The Heavenly Note Sect is a demonic sect,” said Jiang Hao. “This isn’t your nice, peaceful backyard. In a demonic sect, when you make a mistake, you end up dead.”

With that, Jiang Hao turned around and left.

The next day, Jiang Hao heard the news that Luo Xi had left the sect and disappeared. No one knew where she had gone.

Miao Tinglian heard about it too.

“I feel like I was deceived! There was something wrong with Junior Sister Luo Xi.”
