THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
145: One More Night Passed
In theory, as long as Jiang Hao did not look at Hong Yuye, his heart and mind would remain calm.
But being close to him still has an effect.
Hong Yuye instinctively exuded his aura. It was very subtle, but it existed.
It was always there every time he came out and affected Jiang Hao as he sat there trying to make his talisman.
He was helpless and decided to return to his room. He spends most of his time in the backyard when he doesn't make amulets.
Jiang Hao was especially worried that someone would meet Hong Yuye, and he did not know what would happen if he were not there.
To him, Hong Yuye was a terrifying existence that could explode in anger at any moment, but others were unaware of it.
Once provoked, the entire inn might be destroyed. There is no shortage of stupid and arrogant people in this world. Someone might make him angry. That was why Jiang Hao felt worried when he was in the backyard and not with him
Hong Yuye's.
The days passed this way.
Finally, it was nearing the day that Zuo Lan would perform her ritual. That's tomorrow.
Over the past few days, Jiang Hao accompanied Hong Yuye to the backyard, made a talisman in the afternoon, and went to investigate to find further clues about Zuo Lan.
In the afternoon, he brought back some snacks.
At night, he focused on learning the third form of the Heavenly Sword, the Meteor technique.
He just finished understanding it last night. It had great power, but he had yet to test it. Somewhat hard to control.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have time. Otherwise, he would at least understand the ability to use it more effectively.
“It seems you think too much about things,” said Hong Yuye.
In the backyard, Jiang Hao was taking care of the Snow Clear plant. Under his treatment, white bubbles occasionally appeared. Spirit strengthened.
However, he did not want to absorb the bubbles in front of Hong Yuye, so he did not collect too many bubbles. With Hong Yuye's understanding of the nameless secret manual, he might realize something. But Jiang Hao was confused by his words. 'Thinking excessively?'
'You are very careful, ' Hong Yuye added.
“I'm fine,” said Jiang Hao.
Even though he did not know what exactly the woman meant, he had always lived like that. His strength was never enough, so he had to be very careful, especially since he was in the demon sect.
Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao and chuckled. “The past few days, are you worried that others will offend me?”
'Oh that's what he meant.'
Jiang Hao nodded. “I'm afraid others will disturb your peace.”
"Is that so?" Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao. “Then let's just say that's what you think.”
Just then, he saw a teapot on the table. “Come change the tea.”
“I.... just brewed it,” said Jiang Hao. Snow Queen Spring Tea is also expensive. He felt a bit pointless throwing away his tea.
“Take out the best tea leaves you have and brew.” Hong Yuye poured tea into the bushes.
'Best tea?' Jiang Hao immediately recalled the Azure Red tea.
He hasn't told her that he bought it. Jiang Hao was afraid that he would finish it too soon and hoped that he would buy more with the spirit stones he had set aside for something else.
He doesn't know how he found out. Helpless, he took out the Red Azure tea.
"Are you confused?" Hong Yuye smiled. “The Heavenly City of Earth is not a very big city. Not many people stayed in the inn. Red Azure Tea was extremely expensive, and was considered similar to a precious treasure. If someone bought it, it would be great news for the people here.”
Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao, and his eyes twinkled mischievously. “Who in the entire Heavenly City would buy something like that?”
Jiang Hao realized that it would be foolish to think he could hide anything from her. He could have said he didn't have it.
“Do you think you'll get away with saying you didn't buy it?” Hong Yuye took the teacup and sniffed it. “The aroma of Red Azure tea can subtly affect the other tea leaves it stores. You put the Snow Queen Spring tea right next to the Red Azure tea, right?”
Jiang Hao could only sigh. He needs to follow his knowledge of tea.
At that moment, the scent of Azure Red tea emanated from the tea. That's refreshing.
After pouring a cup for Hong Yuye, Jiang Hao sat down and poured himself a cup.
Jiang Hao had spent 9,300 spirit stones on this tea. He wants a drink.
Even Fang Jin and the two women were surprised by the strong aroma of tea.
“Teh Azure Red!” exclaim Lan Jin. “I've only seen our master brew it before.
Who brought such tea here?”
“The aroma comes from the backyard,” said Bai Qiong surprised. "Who are they?"
“I don't know what it's like,” Fang Jin said with some emotion. “I will utilize the aroma of tea and process it on the second floor. I need to prepare for tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the day of the ritual that Jiang Hao mentioned, and Zuo Lan would be there. They might find the missing student tomorrow.
Jiang Hao drank a cup of tea and felt an abundant amount of spiritual energy. The tea was smooth and soft, and instantly refreshed his entire body.
This makes him happy. Instinctively, he began to practice the third form of the Heavenly Sword which he had yet to fully comprehend.
This time, the flow of his strength was smooth, as if the spiritual energy brought by the Azure Red tea was helping him.
Jiang Hao felt as if he was holding a knife in his hand and swinging it using the Meteor technique.
Strength circulated within his body, and the technique began to form in his mind.
While training, Jiang Hao felt his progress in mastering the third form become faster. He even began to practice his first and second forms.
For a while, he trained all three movements.
Time passed, and the special effects brought by the Azure Red tea gradually faded.
The pleasant and refreshing feeling slowly disappeared, but Jiang Hao had gained insight into all three forms of Heavenly Sword.
When he opened his eyes again, the sun was right above his head. I don't think time has passed at all.
“Is it still daytime?” She asked.
“Siang next day,” says Hong Yuye.
'What?!" Jiang Hao was surprised. This was the day that Zuo Lan would appear at the altar!
Even though he knew Zuo Lan would make a move today, he was unsure as to the timing. It can be in the morning or evening.
Jiang Hao had already missed the morning. He wasted precious time.
“Senior, we have to leave,” he said.
This time, they obtained accurate information about Zuo Lan. Hong Yuye wanted the stone tablet as quickly as possible, so he would definitely leave.
As Hong Yuye stood up, Jiang Hao picked up the teapot and looked at the tea leaves inside, thinking of using it to fertilize the ground.
Drinking a cup greatly increased his understanding of the Heavenly Sword. He could now freely use the third form. He wondered if it would have the same effect next time.
After a while, he examined the divine abilities and attacks stored in his wrist protector.
Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye left the inn.
In the forest, the sun shines through the leaves of the trees.
Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye stood under a tree, looking at a building in the distance. Therein lies the altar.
There is a window that gives an inside view, but so far there is no sign of any activity.
“We may have to wait until night,” said Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye jumped up and sat on the tree branch.
It was too conspicuous, and Jiang Hao wanted to warn him not to attract attention. However, he did not dare to say it out loud.
It makes sense if he wants to sit on the branch. That way, no one will notice him.
At night, moonlight shone through the sky, covering the pitch-black forest with a silvery veil.
Jiang Hao stared at the moonlight, then looked towards the altar.
He noticed that the altar was emitting a dim light under the moonlight. It seemed that his power had been activated, but it was still not strong enough.
Just then, he felt someone approaching the altar.
"He's here.."
