THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
106: Rise in Rank
“Then, can I offer some talismans in lieu of spirit stones?” asked Jiang Hao. Leng Tian frowned. What amulet would you like to give me?
“Ten Healing Amulets and ten Hundred Thousand Sword Amulets,” Jiang Hao said.
"Deal!" leng Tian said without hesitation.
Jiang Hao sighed in relief. He really did not want to spend all of his hard-earned spirit stones on a single talisman.
He finally gave him 1,500 spirit stones, ten Healing Talismans, and ten Hundred Thousand Sword Talismans. Jiang Hao only had six hundred spirit stones left now.
He wondered how much it would cost to create a Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman.
“This,” said Leng Tian as he handed the box containing the talisman to him. “This is yours now, but I must warn you. This is something we have gained through earnest effort. If it's useful to you, that's great! But if you choose to sell it, please be careful. You may get into trouble.”
"really?" Jiang Hao pretended to be surprised. “If you get it with great difficulty, are you willing to sell it at this price?”
“You look like someone who will use it instead of selling it somewhere,” Leng Tian said with a laugh. “Two thousand spirit stones are enough for us. I wouldn't be worried if it was an entire talisman, but having half of it was dangerous. So, be careful, Young Brother Jiang.”
Jiang Hao bowed to him. "of course. Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother Leng.”
Leng Tian smiled. “I have to go.”
Jiang Hao led him to the courtyard. The spirit beast was hanging upside down on the tree.
“Young Brother Jiang, your spirit beast is amazing.” Leng Tian laughed.
Jiang Hao laughed as well. The spirit beast was always disturbing as usual.
After which, Leng Tian said goodbye and left.
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to the Spirit Herb Garden.
He decided to make a talisman today. If he managed to make the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman before the Blackheaven Sect arrived, he would have no choice but to escape.
The people who came after him must have been in the Golden Core Realm. If only he could advance to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he would have a way out. However, that would be his last choice.
“Master, why are you so popular among women?” asked the spirit beast as he landed back on the ground.
“That's not true,” said Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao did not meet many women. Leng Tian was here just to exchange the talisman for spirit stones. The others are all traitors.
“Is there a lover among these women?” ask the spirit creature.
“No, no,” said Jiang Hao.
"Who is this?"
A red shadow appeared in Jiang Hao's mind. He didn't say anything else.
Although Jiang Hao clearly did not love that person, he knew that as long as the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison was in his system, it was impossible for him to feel anything against another woman.
Even if there was a way to remove the poison, he wasn't sure if he was willing to do so. The benefits of Poison Gu of Heaven Extinction exceeded his losses. He was often careless and had to rely on the poison to keep him calm. It has helped him on many occasions. This especially helped him fight magic spells.
Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed. Sometimes, he felt the price he had to pay to survive was too heavy.
He doesn't think about it anymore. He turned around and went back to his room.
Jiang Hao put away the stone slab, prepared water and a brush, and began to meditate to calm his mind.
During the day, Jiang Hao sat at his desk. He took out a brush, dipped it into the water, and activated the ability of the Clear and Pure Heart.
Then he started drawing.
Previously, Jiang Hao had practiced several times to get the character right.
With the help of his ability, Jiang Hao's hand moved easily and finally completed the final blow.
A beam of light emanated from the stone tablet. Light entered his body through the brush he was holding.
At this moment, a golden light appeared in his mind. The golden light attracted the mark in his mind. Everyone is very strong.
Jiang Hao was attentive. He doesn't want to miss anything. When the runes reached completion, Jiang Hao was very pleased.
As the talisman formed, the golden light disappeared entirely.
At this point, Jiang Hao had memorized his entire talisman.
The stone tablet on the table cracked with a sharp sound.
Jiang Hao was surprised, but not for long. He knew that the Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman required many materials such as the skin of a Golden Core Realm spirit beast, the blood of a savage beast, and a talisman brush made from Gold Core Realm materials.
Jiang Hao kept everything and headed to the Spirit Potion Garden. He collected some bubbles and then went to the market to buy some ingredients.
It cost a total of five hundred spirit stones for the ingredients. It turns out it's very expensive.
Fortunately, with the materials he bought, he could practice the talisman at least ten more times.
He only had a hundred spirit stones left. Jiang Hao sighed. The spirit stone he had just obtained just disappeared!
Jiang Hao returned to his home and practiced drawing the talisman once again. He did not use any spiritual energy for now. He's just practicing his punch.
After a while, Jiang Hao sat on his desk again. When he started making it, he realized that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
When his spiritual energy was depleted, he was unable to continue anymore. The animal's skin was immediately burnt. That was another failure.
Jiang Hao was too tired to continue.
The next day, Jiang Hao had just planned on going to the Spirit Medicine Garden when he met Liu Xingchen.
He looks very serious. Jiang Hao knew something bad was coming.
“Young Brother Jiang, you are barred from the sect,” Liu Xingchen said grimly. “Sekte Blackheaven will arrive here in fifteen days.”
Jiang Hao bowed and thanked him for the information. Liu Xingchen didn't seem to say much when the matter was serious. Jiang Hao had noticed that about him.
He guessed that he was chosen to be the scapegoat to take down the sect. Jiang Hao bid farewell to Liu Xingchen and headed to the Spirit Herbal Garden.
He collected some bubbles and took care of the spirit herbs.
Even Mu Qi seemed to be worried about him. “Young Brother Jiang, are you still taking care of the herbs? Maybe you should go see Cliff Master..
Jiang Hao thanked him, but he knew it was useless. He was not a True Disciple, so the help his teacher could provide was limited.
Mu Qi also knew this.
Over the next few days, Jiang Hao continued to take care of the spirit herbs in the Spirit Potion Garden during the day and tried to make talismans at night.
He failed for seven consecutive days. After that, he rested for three days in a row.
During these ten days, Miao Tinglian watched Jiang Hao secretly take care of the spirit herbs and clean up the Spirit Potion Garden.
He looked at Mu Qi. “If Young Brother Jiang is allowed to live safely and peacefully, his rank will rise. He will face a major crisis in just five days, yet he looks so calm.”.
