Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 462: The Ring Was Still On The Demoness’ Wrist

“That’s possible,” Jiang Hao said after thinking for a long time.

“Based on the information from the gathering, the Saint Bandits are likely to contact individuals who are willing to use any means to enhance their cultivation, especially those with low innate talent who practice unique techniques, like the Blood Wish Path.”

After gathering various pieces of information, Jiang Hao began to understand.

The recent proliferation of the Blood Wish Path was likely the work of the Saint Bandits.

However, there had been no reports of anyone having their talents stripped away. This seemed to go against the Saint Bandits’ ideology.

It was possible that they were biding their time and waiting for the right moment. Some of the geniuses within the sects were likely being targeted, and all it would take was one opportunity for the Saint Bandits to strike.

But this would almost certainly result in their deaths as the Heavenly Note Sect would never allow such individuals to leave alive.

“Are you planning to go after them?” Hong Yuye asked after swallowing a piece of fruit.

“Senior, you must be joking. As a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, I won’t be venturing into that kind of danger,” Jiang Hao said.

Going after the Saint Bandits was akin to seeking death, especially after witnessing the overwhelming strength of the Saint Bandits back when he was in the Bright Moon Sect.

Even if the Sea Fog Cave was inhabited by some unknown creatures, it was not a place he could approach.

In the eyes of powerful cultivators, whether he was at the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Primordial Spirit Realm, it didn’t make much of a difference.

“Foundation Establishment Realm? Haven’t you reached the Golden Core Realm yet?” Hong Yuye chuckled.

Jiang Hao bowed his head and didn’t reply.

In fact, he should have advanced to the Golden Core Realm by now, but he was waiting for Junior Brother Han to return.

The chaos caused by the Blood Wish Path outside required his help. However, advancing at this time would put him in a precarious position. It would be best to quell the rumors before advancing.

But he needed to think about how to do that.

“In a few days, do you plan to contact your undercover agent through the gathering?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes, even though the other party may not be obedient, as long as he goes overseas and enters the core of The End of All Things, that will be enough. When they find him there, he won’t have a choice but to provide information,” Jiang Hao said.

The strength of Liu was enough to make Chi Tian understand how insignificant he was if he was unwilling to cooperate.

Unless he decided to die, he would have to give some information.

If it weren’t for the fact that Liu didn’t need anything at the moment, Jiang Hao would have asked Liu to send a message to Chi Tian.

“Senior, can Gui borrow the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?” Jiang Hao asked. This was something he needed to ask about.

Borrowing something like this was dangerous, and he had to ask.

What if something went wrong? It would be hard to imagine the consequences.

“Her friend seems to be cultivating the Thousand Curses Body. While being eroded by curses is a part of it, as long as it can be suppressed, the final step can be completed. The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl can help her, but it’s best to not suppress it. Instead, you should transfer it,” Hong Yuye said while eating a peach.

“Transfer it?” Jiang Hao was puzzled, especially regarding the Thousand Curses Body. He had never heard of it before.

“Suppression is just making the body adapt, while transfer is a rebirth,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He still couldn’t fully understand it, but he made a mental note of it.

If Gui could understand it, he would be able to avoid danger.

He just hoped that Hong Yuye wouldn’t be too profound.

‘It should be fine. With Dan Yuan present at the gathering, he should be able to understand it. Senior Dan Yuan’s knowledge and power are unquestionable.

Even if others don’t understand, he can. Having him around allows me to talk about things I don’t understand myself, as someone will help explain them to me. After all, he has experience.’ Jiang Hao thought to himself.

After that, Hong Yuye remained silent and quietly ate the peach.

In the evening, Jiang Hao began to set up an array for the Immortal Peach Tree.

Hong Yuye sat nearby and watched the peach tree.

Once everything was ready, Jiang Hao sat in his chair and looked at the peach tree. During this time, he brewed a pot of tea.

As Hong Yuye drank her tea, the red and white sleeves fell down.

Jiang Hao noticed that his ring was still on her wrist.

This made him a little concerned, as he had been thinking about whether to speak up and ask for it back.

However, in the end, he decided against it.

If she didn’t return it willingly, it would only lead to trouble if he asked for it.

Losing one ring wouldn’t make much of a difference, and he could always ask for the one the spirit beast had.

“What kind of tea is this?” Hong Yuye asked as he looked at him.

“It’s Thousand Snow,” Jiang Hao said and lowered his head.

“It was Ancient Spirit Tea not too long ago, and now, it’s Thousand Snow? Are you planning to switch to Red Sleeve Fragrance next time?” Hong Yuye said teasingly.

“Senior, you jest. It’s just that it’s been difficult to buy good tea lately,” Jiang Hao said.

The Ancient Spirit Tea cost five hundred spirit stones, the Thousand Snow cost around two hundred, and Red Sleeve Fragrance cost one hundred.

He didn’t need to reduce his standards to this extent. However, it seemed that Hong Yuye wasn’t interested in hearing this. A powerful aura surged like a tidal wave.

At midnight, the Immortal Peach Tree began to emit a faint light and spiritual energy was rapidly being absorbed.

Veins appeared in the branches, and all the spiritual energy was converging toward the final fruit.

It lasted for most of the night.

Early the next morning, the entire tree turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

The fruit had also been absorbed.

A ray of sunlight shone from the sky and fell upon the red and white figure in the courtyard.

She slowly approached the ashes and squatted down. She eventually found a seed in the ashes.

After examining it for a moment, she stood up and handed the seed to Jiang Hao.

“Do you need to go through the incarnations four more times?” she asked.

“Yes, four more times,” Jiang Hao said as he took the seed.

“What happens after four times?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It might take thousands of years for it to mature,” Jiang Hao said.

After nine incarnations, it would turn into a divine tree. After that, it might not mature in just a year.

Hong Yuye didn’t speak further. She watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and disappeared.

“Next time, remember to prepare some new tea.” Hong Yuye’s voice reached Jiang Hao’s ears.

Finally, everything completely dissipated.

Jiang Hao let out a sigh of relief and knew that he would have to buy tea again.

He wondered what kind of tea costs 250 spirit stones for such a small portion. Thankfully, it wasn’t consumed too quickly, and he couldn’t finish too many pots in one night.

The most important thing was that Hong Yuye only visited once every few months.

After appraising the Immortal Peach Tree Seed, Jiang Hao planted it. In four days, it would take root and sprout.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Cheng Chou greeted him as soon as he arrived.

“Senior Brother Jiang, I found out some information.”

“What is it?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The commotion caused by the Blood Wish Path was huge, and I also heard your name mentioned,” Cheng Chou said in surprise. “While I was on my way out, I saw someone being chased on the road, and their silhouette resembled yours a bit. I thought you had come out of the sect. Later, I found out it was someone being chased for absorbing the Blood Vow. He called himself Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts. He had a mask on. His appearance is somewhat similar to yours.”

Jiang Hao frowned. It seemed that these people were really using him as a scapegoat.

He knew someone was behind this.

Especially since so many of them were practicing the Blood Vow Dao, there had to be something fishy going on.

Senior Brother Qian Chen had always kept his practice of the Blood Wish Path hidden, so it was unlikely that it was him, unless he was using this as an opportunity to achieve his own goals.

If that were the case, then Yin Wei might also be his associate.

However, he had a feeling that there was another person involved who was adding fuel to the fire.

He needed to find out who they were and put an end to it..
