Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1118: Demoness: You Think Your Sect Master Is Dead?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Which means that you didn’t find anything at all?” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and did not dare speak.

At that moment, he felt a monstrous aura that was like a landslide coming at him at an incredible speed.

He flew back.

He collided with the wall behind him and felt a burning pain.

Before he could get up, Hong Yuye stood up and said calmly, “Today’s tea is not that good. Also, your guess is right. Your sect does have some interesting abilities. Although they might not be able to stop the enemies entirely, they are gaining some footing.”

Only then did Jiang Hao raise his head to look at the sky.

He saw new forces joining in.

There was reinforcement.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Hao thought of the Divine Corpse Sect.

But would the Divine Corpse Sect send someone so powerful?

He did not know for sure.

There were plenty of entrances to the Corpse Realm, so there was no need for them to send such a powerful individual to help the sect.

It was either for the Corpse Realm or for Zhuang Yuzhen.

“The Heavenly Note Sect will have captured some people from the Great Thousand God Sect Since you didn’t get an answer about the stone tablet before, make sure to find out more from the captives from the Great Thousand God Sect.” Hong Yuye gradually disappeared on the spot.

Jiang Hao finally stood up. He breathed a sigh of relief.

He had truly forgotten about it. Otherwise, he would have asked about it, and he would have told her everything he knew.

If he could find the identity of the mastermind behind the stone tablet, he would have investigated.

He needed to buy some time.

He wanted to know who was behind the stone tablet too.

This way, he could buy time until he was stronger.

Knowing about it would allow him to use the situation to his advantage. He feared that if he suddenly encountered an opponent he could not handle, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The next day, Jiang Hao saw that the fight in the sky had come to an end.

He left the courtyard and returned to the mine.

The mine was not too heavily damaged, so he took advantage of the lack of people and returned to the appraisal building.

He found Senior Sister Xia on the third floor.

She had suffered some injuries.

“Junior Brother Jiang, are you alright?” Senior Sister Xia was surprised to see him. “I haven’t seen you for a while, so I thought something had happened to you.”

“I often went to the mine to see what was going on.” Jiang Hao did not elaborate.

It was better to leave some things to the imagination.

They would assume that he was lucky enough to escape the mine unscathed.

That was exactly what senior Sister Xia thought.

“If it weren’t for the elders of the sect protecting this place and dragging the fight to the sky, we would have suffered much more damage,” said Wan Chengfeng.

“Yes. The sect is truly remarkable, I don’t even know who they were fighting,” said Jiang Hao and sighed.

The others had stayed away, but Jiang Hao had left after meeting the person from The End of All Things. Perhaps witnessing the fight would have given him some opportunities. But Jiang Hao did not care about that.

It was too dangerous.

After asking around, he found out that Lin Zhi and the others had already left.

So, Jiang Hao continued to stay in the appraisal building and waited.

The three of them sat together in the open space.

“I heard you were explaining the cultivation methods to some juniors?” Senior Sister Xia asked.

“It’s just this one junior who suffers from some problems with his cultivation, so I helped him a little,” said Jiang Hao truthfully.

Ultimately, he was helping Cheng Chou. The others did not need his help that much.

“Do you know a lot about the Lifeblood Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm?” Senior Sister Xia asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “Just a little bit.”

“I have some small problems that I want to ask you about. They are common problems. In theory, I should have been able to solve them easily. But whenever I think I have solved it, it crops up again. I wanted to ask some seniors about it, but I’ve been held up here and haven’t had the time. Junior brother, if you’re free, could I ask you about it?” asked Senior Sister Xia.

Jiang Hao took out the treasure that he had not wiped clean yet. “Please go ahead, Senior Sister.”

He could not refuse.

Senior Sister Xia talked about her cultivation problems. The problems were all superficial.

She started with the simplest problem and explained the solution.

There were two ways to solve the problems, one of which was obtained from Wan Chengfeng.

But it all circled back to the same thing.

The meridian flowed properly. Then, another problem arose.

It kept changing.

In the end, it returned to the state it was in the beginning.

Jiang Hao wiped the treasure and did not speak.

After they finished asking the questions, Jiang Hao said, “The root cause of the problem can’t be solved. The smoothness of the meridian is actually laying the groundwork for the problem. I’m not certain about the problem, but this is brought about by the breakthrough. It can be overcome in a different way.”

Jiang Hao explained some of his understandings regarding the Lifeblood Refinement Realm and then the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As they listened, the two of them gained a deeper understanding of spiritual energy.

They were shocked.

It was no wonder some people willingly offered their blood to listen to his explanations.

Unfortunately, his explanation was only limited to the Golden Core Realm and below.

If they could have such guidance, their cultivation realms would improve drastically.

It would not be a waste of time.

Both of them wanted to request Jiang Hao for more lessons, but they could not.

That was the way of the Blood Wish Path. These were things that could only be obtained by blood sacrifice.

It was a pity that such a talented junior was on the Blood Wish Path.

The strongest practitioner of the Blood Wish Path in the Heavenly Sound Sect was Senior Brother Qian Chen, but at most, he had broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm to enter the Soul Ascension Realm.

They felt that Jiang Hao was extraordinary.

After explaining a lot of things, Jiang Hao wiped the treasures clean. He also finished recording the information in the notebook.

With that, he handed the items to Senior Sister Xia.

“Senior Sister, it’s your turn.”

Senior Sister Xia was momentarily stunned.

She had not expected Jiang Hao to be so dedicated to his work.

She did not feel right staying idle, so she started examining the treasures.

Each time she examined something, she expressed her opinions.

Jiang Hao listened quietly. It helped me understand more about the treasures, especially regarding the forging techniques and traits.

After Senior Sister Xia, it was Senior Brother Wan Chengfeng’s turn.

He did the same.

This time, the explanation was even more detailed.

It helped him distinguish between authentic and fake treasures.

“Junior Brother, you know a lot about extraordinary items but know very little about the details of their origins. Most of the treasures come from various sects, and they always have some characteristics…” Wan Chengfeng said. Senior Sister Xia also listened.

Such opportunities were somewhat rare to come by.

“Seniors, you know a lot about these treasures,” said Jiang Hao in admiration.

“Not really… I have just worked a lot with different treasures. It is said that some Forging Masters have extraordinary knowledge about them. They need to constantly collect ancient treasures to break through their realms. It’s also better to absorb the strengths of all schools. The more accomplished the Forging Master, the more of these things they have. So, there are very few Forging Masters because the field consumes too much energy, just like alchemists. They usually travel to different places to find rare treasures to hone their craft,” Wan Chengfeng said.

Jiang Hao was momentarily stunned. ‘The more accomplished the Forging Master, the more they needed to collect ancient treasures?’

He thought of Mi Lingyue, who was acclaimed overseas as the most gifted Forging Master.

If what Senior Brother Wan Chengfeng said was true, then did she have numerous ancient treasures in her hands?

He wanted to go to the Lawless Tower to find out.

But he could not rush it. He needed to wait for the sect to handle things here first, and then go to the Lawless Tower.

He also needed to find out about the stone tablet from the Great Thousand God Sect.

It would be easy to face Hong Yuye if he found out more.

Mainly, he needed to improve his cultivation. The rest did not matter so much.

As for September Spring tea…

He needed to make more talismans and sell them.

Hopefully, he could gather ten thousand spirit stones soon and buy better tea.

The affairs at the mine took a long time to settle. The Law Enforcement Hall investigated it inside and out for days on end.

Only then was the mine left free.

After that, people in the market were questioned.

Every now and then, someone would disappear.

Everyone was on edge.

Jiang Hao was also surprised. The intensity and severity of the investigation were nothing like they had seen before.

Anyone slightly suspicious would be taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall.

He would seem suspicious too.

If he disappeared to take care of other matters, it would be difficult to hide from the Law Enforcement Hall.
