Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Jiang Hao sighed.

Then, he began to consider tomorrow’s matters. If nothing unexpected happened, he would need to visit the mountain gate tomorrow afternoon.

If it weren’t for the significant achievements in the Sea Fog Cave, he wouldn’t have thought of this method and burdened himself with trouble.

‘I need to buy a blade and sell the ores from Sea Fog Cave. The formation also needs an upgrade. It feels like there’s a lot to do. I wonder if half a day will be enough tomorrow.’

Jiang Hao took out a book and started reading. It was the nameless manual.

His experience in the Sea Fog Cave made him understand the importance of the nameless manual.

It not only could be used to conceal cultivation but also to control power and drastically increase the strength of techniques.

Furthermore, it was excellent for perceiving the surroundings. It was like the foundation of everything.

The techniques of the Heavenly Blade and the use of body techniques were all closely related to it.

Hong Yuye was also an extraordinary talent.

In this world, there were countless extraordinary individuals, and many people’s achievements were beyond Jiang Hao’s reach.

But he didn’t mind. The extraordinary talents didn’t conflict with him.

What he wanted was to live well and have the ability to protect himself.

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Hao felt like he hadn’t been reading for long when the day broke.

At this moment, a sound came from inside.

Hong Yuye sat up.

Her clothes were not disheveled.

She looked at Jiang Hao who had turned around and then checked her hair.

She found it slightly damp.

In an instant, a formidable aura emerged.

Bam!

Jiang Hao was sent flying.

Bam!

He fell to the ground in the courtyard and felt pain in his neck.

It seemed like she wasn’t that angry.

It was much better than having his bones broken.

But…

‘Why?’

He thought of a possibility. Did she want him to help dry her hair?

A gentle breeze blew, and a figure in red and white descended from above and stood beside him.

It was Hong Yuye, who had changed into her gown.

The long skirt reached her ankles. A red belt cinched her waist. Her long hair was tied up.

She looked down at Jiang Hao. “You, in the early stage of the Golden Core

Realm, seem to be not very competent.”

Jiang Hao stood up. “I have disappointed you, Senior.”

With a cold snort, Hong Yuye walked to the wooden table, placed a box, and then faded. “I’m not staying for free in your place.”

When Hong Yuye disappeared completely, Jiang Hao walked to the table and opened the box.

Inside, he found a familiar pill. The Sea God Pill!

Jiang Hao was surprised.

After using the last one, he realized that the value of this pill was immeasurable. He just didn’t know who to sell it to.

Among the people he knew, few could afford the price. It would probably be possible to exchange it for something.

He put the pill away carefully. Jiang Hao planned to go and buy a magic treasure.

Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Li rushed over.

“Senior Brother Jiang.” She looked around. “Where’s Senior Sister?”

As long as it wasn’t “sister-in-law,” Jiang Hao was relieved. “Looking for the beast?”

“Yeah.” Xiao Li nodded and didn’t ask about Hong Yuye’s whereabouts again.

Jiang Hao pointed to the river nearby. “Follow this river down. You should find it there.”

Xiao Li waved goodbye to him and ran away.

Jiang Hao would never lie to her, after all.

Such a character would suffer in a demonic sect, but Xiao Li was different.

With the protection of the big Golden Core demon, there were few who could threaten her.

Moreover, Xiao Li was a True Disciple with a high status, and she was fearless.

Back then, when facing a Flood Dragon, she had been confident.

At that time, she was only in the Lifeblood Refinement Realm.

Xiao Li didn’t take her opponents seriously, and she thought of herself as a human. A very ordinary human.

Jiang Hao didn’t intend to tell her. Just letting her grow up was enough.

When the time came, she would be released together with the beast.

Jiang Hao intended to buy a magic treasure first, but suddenly, he looked back at a corner of the courtyard.

His Half-Moon Blade was gone.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“Five thousand?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

A somewhat decent Golden Core magic treasure cost him five thousand spirit stones.

After some bargaining, he finally settled at a price of four thousand six hundred.

This time, it was a pure black long saber. It was not very sharp but was heavy.

It was originally named Heavy Edge, but he decided to call it Half-Moon Blade Number Four.

After that, he spent half a day selling the ores.

He got more than he expected for it. The amount totaled 7,650 spirit stones.

Combined with what he already had, it came up to 31,763 spirit stones.

And the materials for the formation cost him twelve thousand spirit stones.

This was a discount. It seemed that due to his achievements, he got discounts when buying things at the Star Tower.

He had a total of 19,763 spirit stones left.

“Fortunately, the Immortal Peach Tree doesn’t need incarnation this year, or else I would have to sell some Heaven Rejuvenating Pills.”

In the afternoon, he went to the mountain gate.

At the mountain gate, the original group of four people had reduced to three.

At this moment, none of them were cultivating. They sat cross-legged in their respective seats.

One of the men said, “I really didn’t expect Junior Sister Luo to be caught and suspected of being a traitor. It doesn’t seem like her.”

“Senior Brother Xia, you seem to be quite close to Junior Sister Luo. We need to be careful, ” said the woman beside him with a smile.

“Junior Sister Nan, you’re joking. I don’t have anything special with Junior Sister Luo. Everyone understands that. Right, Senior Brother Kong?” Xia Cun looked at the muscular man opposite him.

Kong Hu remained silent for a moment. “Junior Sister Nan, you are from the

Law Enforcement Hall, right? Do you know the details?”

“I know some, but it’s a bit different from what you all think. Junior Sister Luo claimed that someone undercover had seriously injured her. Now, they’re both under investigation,” Nan Yushu said.

“You all know this, but a problem has emerged. From what I know, the person branded as the spy is Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts. And he has already come out of the Law Enforcement Hall. He is about to take over Junior Sister Luo’s position and guard the mountain gate.”

“He’s out?” Xia Cun was shocked. “How did he get out? Wasn’t he suspected of being a spy?”

“It shouldn’t be,” said Kong Hu. “I heard that this matter hasn’t been settled yet.”

“Right, but the Law Enforcement Hall can ‘t restrain Jiang Hao. Do you know about the sect’s achievement ranking? This time, the achievements mainly come from the Sea Fog Cave. Jiang Hao is currently ranked first on the list. Without evidence, the Law Enforcement Hall doesn’t dare to touch him. The Merit Hall wouldn’t agree,” Nan Yushu said.

“What’s his cultivation realm?” Kong Hu asked.

“Early stage of the Golden Core Realm,” Nan Yushu said.

“It seems we need to be careful and avoid too much contact with him. Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall might target us,” Xia Cun said.

The others nodded.

They didn’t want to cause trouble..
