THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
163: Robbery
Jiang Hao glanced at those people.
There were a total of seven people, but it was uncertain whether the six were people who owed money to the Spirit Herb Garden.
After listening for a while, Jiang Hao was able to confirm that the five of them were the people he was looking for.
He then left the place. At first, he planned to visit each person one by one and observe them. Now, it seems like it's not necessary.
After which, he followed the second list and found another group of people.
Once he made sure that they were the ones he was looking for, he went on to find the third group of people on the list.
“I have spirit stones, but I only produce low quality pills. So, I'll offer it. Ha ha ha…
“Do you think they will cooperate with us next time?”
“What to fear? We'll find another group next time. There are always some idiots in this sect.”
Jiang Hao tried to recall their faces and moved to the next location.
When almost everyone on the list had been identified, Jiang Hao headed to the various Spirit Potion Parks in the sect.
Fortunately, there was no one from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion in the garden. He doesn't want to be involved with them anymore. That's too dangerous.
The Pavilion Master of the Celestial Excitement Pavilion might be eyeing him.
After he determined the location, Jiang Hao returned to the Spirit Jamu Garden.
Jiang Hao was taking care of the spirit herbs when Cheng Chou arrived and told him about the events of that day with Chu Chuan.
It made sense that Chu Chuan was weaker than Xiao Li. He didn't interfere. Jiang Hao planned to continue testing it.
With Chu Chuan's talent, Jiang Hao was confident that he would gradually become stronger. Only then could he surpass Chu Jie.
Three months had passed since returning to the sect. Chu Jie was probably on his way to the second stage of the Life Blood Refinement Realm.
He had the talent, cultivation techniques, resources, and a renowned teacher to teach him. He would be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Level within the next six or seven years.
As for Chu Chuan, it was almost impossible for him to achieve it. It all depends on how far he can push himself.
Jiang Hao returned to his home. The spirit creature was not there. He had asked the spirit beast to bring some spirit stones and pills to Chu Chuan.
This was the one given by the Bright Moon Sect. Every time Chu Chuan advanced, Jiang Hao would return some to him.
Dark skies. Jiang Hao stood up and disappeared from his place.
In the Candlelight Pill Pavilion courtyard, eight people sat at the table discussing alchemy.
“It looks like they're starting to slack off. We need to prepare some low-quality pills, ” said a young man.
“This is all thanks to Senior Brother's method so we don't have to go there ourselves. The problem can be resolved soon,” said a woman with a smile.
Others would agree when they were startled by a voice. A dagger covered in blood pierced through the woman's back. This surprised everyone.
As for women, she never imagined she would be stabbed in the back.
The others instinctively activated their protective treasures.
However, spirit swords emerged from behind them and pierced through them.
Blood was everywhere.
"Please don't kill me" someone asked.
A quiet voice spoke.
“I came to collect your debt money.”
The crowd was filled with fear. They never expected that people from the Spirit Herb Gardens would dare to take such extreme measures.
Killing a disciple within the sect was akin to seeking death. No one dared to be careless like this.
“Senior, I don't owe anyone any money. I swear!"
The explosion!
In an instant, a powerful force pressed down on them. They all fainted.
Jiang Hao looked at these people. He took his spirit sword. He took out their storage treasures and turned around to leave.
He didn't kill them. He had made sure to avoid their important points. Killing forty alchemists would have serious consequences.
He was targeting everyone who owed money to the various Spirit Herb Gardens. This way, no one could know exactly which Spirit Potion Garden had taken action against the alchemists.
For a moment, Jiang Hao walked through the courtyard. He moved quickly past it. He wants to avoid being seen.
However, after two such attacks, the alchemist sounded the alarm and started to fight back.
Jiang Hao sighed. He had no choice but to retreat.
On his way home, he passed through the various Spirit Herb Gardens. He left behind some spirit stones with a note.
The problem had been solved, and no one noticed it.
Upon his return, he transferred all the stolen spirit stones into his own storage treasure and threw all the spirit pills and potions into the beast storage treasure.
He destroyed the stolen storage treasure.
Jiang Hao sat in his room, feeling worried. The commotion he caused this time was huge.
'I mustn't underestimate the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, ' Jiang Hao thought. 'I wonder what would happen if the Law Enforcement Hall got involved.'
He had to wait until tomorrow to meet Liu Xingchen and find out.
Jiang Hao inspected the spirit stones. He had a total of 8,700 spirit stones for the time being.
“I lost over a thousand.”
However, he still had pills, spirit herbs, talismans, and other treasures. He needed to figure out a way to sell it without looking suspicious.
The next day, Liu Xingchen did not come to see him.
The Spirit Potion Garden received the spirit stones and finally settled the matter. The garden sent the spirit herbs back to the Pill Pavilion of Candlelight. They don't want to keep it for longer than necessary.
The six branches received spirit stones, so no one knew which branch was responsible for resolving the matter.
Even if the alchemists united, they would not dare to target the people from the six branches simultaneously. That means suicide.
On the third day, Jiang Hao finally saw Liu Xingchen. His aura has changed again.
In the past, there was a faint shadow of a dragon, but this time there was something else. It was an impenetrable black aura. 'What possessed him this time?'
Jiang Hao looked at him. He was in no hurry to find out.
“For a long time, Young Brother Jiang,” Liu Xingchen said as a greeting.
“It's been a long time,” replied Jiang Hao politely.
“Young Brother Jiang, you seem to be becoming calmer and stronger,” Liu Xingchen said. “After all, the people in the Candlelight Pill Pavilion have been attacked. Over fifty of them were injured. Did you hear anything about that?”
“I heard it, but I don't know the full story.”
He's a little confused. He only injured about thirty people. 'Who attacked the other twenty?'
“These alchemists caused it themselves. They were not willing to pay their debt money to the Spirit Herb Gardens on the six branches. In the end, they were surrounded and attacked by two people. They were badly injured and robbed. Even spirit herbs were looted,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.
He looks amused.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. It seems like someone else is taking action as well. No wonder the news spread so quickly. Others must have been too rude and showy in their ways.
They even stole spirit herbs! That guy is brave.
“I investigated this issue. It seems that there were four people involved in the attack,” Liu Xingchen said.
Jiang Hao was stunned..
