Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 338: A New Junior Sister Wants To Join the Spirit Herb Garden

Putting away the comprehensive language guide, Jiang Hao began to reflect on the gathering.

“The task for the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl has been completed, and the task for the sixth stone tablet is also done. Only the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower is left.”

The outcome had been good. If the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was nowhere to be found, everything would be okay.

As for the contents of the sixth stone tablet and its impact, it was still unclear.

There was no need to think too much about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower for now. He needed to keep an eye on the undercover agents of The End of All Things.

There was also the matter of Gu Qing, which was the most difficult one.

However, she had supposedly fled to the south, so she should be hiding in some sect.

“Heavenly Note Sect has some reputation in the south, and it’s a newly rising sect, so the likelihood of being chosen is high. Moreover, this sect is very strict about its rules, which can help them avoid danger.”

There was no choice but to wait and see what happened with Gu Qing. If she surfaced anyvvhere here, Jiang Hao could handle it. If not, he would just tell Xing that he couldn’t find anything about Gu Qing.

After all, all tasks didn’t need to be completed.

There were other things to think about, like Shang An.

Shang An had made it to the Clear Sky School. As his master had said, his future was bright.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh when he thought about how he had disrupted

Shang An’s plans.

He should probably avoid Shang An in the future.

There’s also the good news that the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference has been delayed, giving Chu Chuan ample time to improve.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“If it hadn’t been for Liu, I would have never found out. Wouldn’t he have laughed at me if I had used another name to threaten him next time?”

The gathering was over, and he needs to familiarize himself with the situation in the sect.

He also needs to be on guard against Gui. He didn’t know where she was right now.

Jiang Hao felt uneasy when he arrived at his courtyard. The abundant spiritual energy made him feel strange.

He always felt like there were secrets hidden here that he couldn’t see.

It was like living in a wooden hut all his life and suddenly moving to a palace.

Something just didn’t feel right.

‘I need to figure out the source of this change.’

Early in the morning, Jiang Hao watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and kicked the drooling beast softly on the rear.

“Let’s go.”

The spirit beast opened its eyes in a daze and looked at Jiang Hao in confusion.

It seemed to be asking, “When did you come back, Master?”

Then, realization dawned on it.

Jiang Hao left the courtyard.

“Master, you weren’t here for a year. Did you bring me a gift?” asked the spirit beast as it followed Jiang Hao.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

‘I brought you 24,000 Spirit Stones.’

“What is it? My friends are waiting to see my gift! ”

“It’ll take some time. Let me check the situation here first.” Jiang Hao smiled.

“By the way, someone came looking for you,” said the beast.

“Who?” Jiang Hao glanced at the beast.

The spirit beast was at the Foundation Establishment Realm and its collar was at the Golden Core Realm. It should last a long time.

Jiang Hao could have saved the money instead of buying the collar, but the spirit beast was just too noisy and kept pestering him.

“It’s the same one who said she ate people.” The spirit beast seemed a little frightened. “I feel like she doesn’t show me any respect. She won’t become the new mistress, will she?”

“No, she won’t,” Jiang Hao said.

He knew who the spirit beast was referring to. It was Ming Yi.

Ming Yi’s cultivation should be at the early or middle stage of the Golden Core Realm now. However, she couldn’t be underestimated. If possible, it was best not to treat her as an enemy.

“Anything else?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Spirit Herb Garden has been busy. Xiao Li and I often go around to test Chu Chuan.’

Jiang Hao understood. Cheng Chou didn’t have time to accompany them.

In the past, Cheng Chou always watched over them.

However, what puzzled Jiang Hao was why the Spirit Herb Garden had become so busy.

As he thought about it, a talisman flew towards him.

It was from the White Moon Lake. Elder Baizhi wanted him to visit the Lawless Tower and interrogate Heavenly King Hai Lu again.

Jiang Hao was confused.

Zhuang Yuzhen came for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, so it made sense for him to interrogate him.

Heavenly King Hai Luo was related to the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, so why should he be the one to interrogate him?

‘Before, King Hai Luo cooperated with the sect. Otherwise, he would have already fallen far below in his cultivation. Why is he being stubborn now?’ Suddenly, Jiang Hao thought of what Liu had said.

‘Could it be because his people had moved to another place already?’

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel that Liu was truly an extraordinary person.

Jiang Hao wasn’t in a hurry to go to the Lawless Tower immediately. Elder Baizhi hadn’t given him a deadline.

Today, he wanted to visit the Spirit Herb Garden and wanted to find out what was going on. If he had time after that, he would visit the Lawless Tower tonight, or tomorrow.

He would talk to King Hai Luo for a bit and then continue with his other tasks.

He needed to keep him hanging, just like he had done with Zhuang Yuzhen.

Being too direct might not yield any results.

After all, he couldn’t really threaten Miao Anxian for real.

Jiang Hao saw that people were busy at work in the Spirit Herb Garden. Jiang Hao could tell that there would be turmoil in the Heavenly Note Sect in the coming days.

Either someone would attack them, or they were going to attack someone else.

Most of these spirit herbs were for healing injuries. Some could be ingested directly, while others needed to be sent to the alchemists.

Some herbs could help concentrate one’s energy and enhance cultivation. They needed to be fully prepared, and there could be no time when the fight began.

The time of a fight or a war was the most beneficial time for the Heavenly Note Sect. The spirit herbs sold like hotcakes, and the ones who came back alive after the fight was done would usually have advanced a lot in their cultivation.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you’re finally back! ” Cheng Chou let out a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Hao.

He found that it wasn’t as easy as he thought to oversee the Spirit Herb Garden.

The pressure was too much, and he always received too many orders for spirit herbs.

He heard that the other Spirit Herb Gardens in the sect had some minor accidents. He had listened to Jiang Hao and hadn’t added anyone new to the garden.

He would only allow people to join if Jiang Hao agreed.

Cheng Chou knew that he wasn’t good at judging people, so he waited for Jiang Hao to come back.

“You’ve worked hard.” Jiang Hao looked around the garden.

He found that there were quite a few special spirit herbs in the corners.

“Whose are those?”

“They were sent by the Hundred Bones Forest. They said they wanted to foster them here for a while.”

‘Hundred Bones Forest?’ Jiang Hao thought of Bai Ye. ‘Is he finally making a move? Has my sealing technique failed?’

Jiang Hao felt that he needed to advance as soon as possible and visit Bai Ye.

“By the way, some seniors plan to send people here to help us. I dared not to take in any new workers. This time, it’s newly recruited only outer sect and inner sect disciples,” said Cheng Chou helplessly. “I told them that I needed a bit more time to decide because I couldn’t just allow anyone in.”

“Inner sect disciples are coming?” Jiang Hao felt that one Spirit Herb Garden didn’t require so many inner sect disciples.

He was enough. Sometimes, others would visit for a while and leave. Cheng Chou joined recently mainly because of Xiao Li.

Now, there were even more coming in, and he couldn’t help but feel that they were here to compete for positions.

“It’s a Junior Sister who said she wanted to join,” Cheng Chou said.

“Junior?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

Among the inner sect disciples, Cheng Chou was the youngest.. How was it that there was another Junior Sister?
