Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 339: The Unyielding Heavenly King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Currently, the most likely candidate to become an inner sect disciple is Xiao Li.

But Xiao Li needed to surpass the eighth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm to enter the inner sect.

If the master wanted to accept her as a True Disciple, she would have to wait until she reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Apart from Xiao Li, there wasn’t any other candidate for the inner sect.

Unless someone from outside advanced to Foundation Establishment Realm soon…

The outer sect disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect didn’t belong to any specific branch. Once they advanced, they could choose to join a branch.

Jiang Hao was brought to the Cliff of Broken Heart because he reached the eighth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm before turning eighteen. That had made him eligible to join the inner sect.

He felt concerned about the newly recruited Junior Sister, especially since she willingly joined the Spirit Herb Garden.

“Yes, that Junior Sister is a newly recruited disciple. It is said that she was a rogue cultivator before and joined the sect at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm,” Cheng Chou said.

‘Rogue cultivator?’

Jiang Hao nodded. He was on guard. This didn’t seem right.

“When do you want to meet her, Senior Brother Jiang?” Cheng Chou asked.

“Bring her here tomorrow,” Jiang Hao said.

Today, he needed to familiarize himself with the situation in the Spirit Herb Garden.

He had been away for too long. If it weren’t for the fact that no one was willing to stay in the Spirit Herb Garden, he might have gone to do something else.

Jiang Hao inquired about the situation in the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden.

It was still in progress. It would take more time for the barren land to turn into a spirit field.

Although the spirit field under their jurisdiction was only average, it ranked ninth among the twelve branches.

‘Isn’t that third from last?’ Jiang Hao found it amusing, but he didn’t say anything.

The important thing was to participate.

When the time came, one of the branches would take over everything, and they would cooperate accordingly.

Jiang Hao observed the spirit herbs and the workers in the Spirit Herb Garden.

For now, everything seemed fine.

However, it was getting difficult for the workers because of the increased workload.

Still, no one was slacking off. They were very diligent in their work.

They also knew that this was the best place to be. Some of the workers, especially non-cultivators, had worked in other places before and weren’t treated well.

Cheng Chou had also visited other Spirit Herb Gardens and seen the condition of the workers there. Many inner sect disciples simply didn’t care about them.

As long as they did their work properly, they would be treated badly here. Many felt that this garden was run like a righteous sect where everyone was treated well.

Cheng Chou felt embarrassed when he heard that. But he felt that it was true. Jiang Hao was always good to everyone working here. After all, he had been on the receiving end of Jiang Hao’s kindness many times.

If he hadn’t met Senior Brother Jiang Hao, he might have had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm in his entire life.

At this moment, Jiang Hao saw that there were some vacant spirit fields and felt that he could plant some spirit herbs there.

But he needed to handle it properly. The sealing technique should not be seen by anyone.

After taking care of the spirit herbs for the whole afternoon, everyone was aware of his return.

He began to take over from here on out. The ones who were the happiest to see him were the ordinary non-cultivators.

In the evening, Jiang Hao left the Spirit Herb Garden and went to the Lawless Tower.

First, he would chat with Heavenly King Hai Luo.

He was just getting used to a day without mining. These two days, he hadn’t received any blue bubbles.

He hadn’t seen a single white bubble, either. He had to wait until tomorrow for that.

In the cave, he had found so many white bubbles that it had made him feel motivated. That feeling disappeared after returning home.

In an inner sect courtyard of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, a beautiful woman sat cross-legged. She was deep in cultivation.

When she opened her eyes, a trace of blood appeared on her brows, and her face turned pale for a moment.

“My injuries are severe. I need to go to the Spirit Herb Garden as soon as possible to absorb some spiritual aura to restore my strength.

“It’s a pity that I got struck by an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. I’ll wait a few more days. If they don’t let go, I’ll deal with them. I can’t let a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator affect my recovery.”

As for the sect’s rules, she didn’t care at all. These rules were just for show. Which sect was not like this?

If she didn’t get caught, no one would care. Even if someone suspected something, who would stand up for an ordinary disciple?

As long as she contacted the person in charge of the investigation, and let them know why they shouldn’t offend her, everything would be fine.

“The Heavenly Note Sect is not bad, but the level of disciples is clearly inferior to other major sects. The high-ranking members aren’t very strong either. Although they can’t help me against the bright Moon Sect, this place is safer for me. I can recover properly and hide for a while.”

She was Gu Qing, who had escaped to Heavenly Note Sect. She joined the sect with Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation and had treasures that could perfectly conceal her real cultivation realm. No one here would detect it.

The people she interacted with were all weak. She could kill them with no consequence.

There was a knock on the door. Gu Qing walked over and opened it. There was a handsome man at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm standing at the door.

It was the person who had brought her into the sect.

“Junior Sister Gu, were you resting?”

“Not really. How can I help you, Senior Brother Tian?”

“You said you wanted to help out in the Spirit Herb Garden, right? A junior has

returned, and tomorrow you can go and meet him. He is in charge of the garden,” Senior Brother Tian said.

“He’s your junior? Why did Senior Brother Cheng refuse in the beginning?” she asked.

“That junior who has returned is in charge of the Spirit Herb Garden, that’s why. When recruiting new workers, his approval is needed. He has Senior

Sister Miao backing him, and also Senior Brother Mu Qi. Senior Brother Mu is a True Disciple and has a high status in the sect. He is also Senior Sister Miao’s partner. They have a good relationship with Junior Brother Jiang, so he has a lot of say on how to run the Spirit Herb Garden.”

“I see.” Gu Qing nodded. “Will Senior Brother Jiang not let me join?”

“Unlikely. The Spirit Herb Garden is currently short on people. You can help there for a while, and your future cooperation will depend on your abilities,” Senior Brother Tian said with a smile.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Gu Qing smiled.

“You’re welcome. I can see that you have extremely high talent, and they will like you. I like helping you,” said Senior Brother Tian in embarrassment.

“Then Senior Brother, will you come and pick me up tomorrow?” asked Gu

Qing.

Senior Brother Tian nodded and left.

Gu Qing watched him leave. ‘Men… they’re all the same…’

Senior Brother Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

‘I fell into her trap again. I need to get rid of her as soon as possible. She’s just a woman. How was I so willing to help her?’

Senior Brother Tian felt wary and didn’t want to meet her again. Such people were dangerous. He shouldn’t try to provoke her.

In the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao arrived at the fifth floor and met the black-robed woman guarding it.

“Junior Brother, can you help me find out about their purpose in coming here? If you can’t get anything from them, it’s okay. It’s just that Hai Luo’s attitude has been very strange lately. I just want you to confirm what’s going on.” “Strange?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

She explained everything. Lately, Hai Luo had become stubborn and arrogant as if he had nothing to fear.

Jiang Hao nodded. He had a rough guess of why he was acting like that. He also wanted to meet the Heavenly King Hal Luo..
