THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
198: Finding Someone To Lean On
The clump gently swayed in the wind.
Lin Zhi struggled to wake up. She's trembling. It all hurt when he tried to move. Bruises were clearly visible in the corner of his mouth. He looked disheveled and tattered.
He looked down, not daring to look up. He was afraid of attracting attention.
Right now, only Jiang Hao saw it. He gets feedback from his abilities.
[Lin Zhi: At the first stage of the Life Blood Refinement Realm. The outer disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect. During his childhood, he had the opportunity to meet the ancient teacher, Gu Ming, who was nearing the end of his life. As a small act of kindness, Gu Ming released the hatred he had towards his imminent death. Whether it was gratitude or a destined relationship, he bestowed the precious Starlight Moon Pearl of the Bright Moon Sect, which fused with Lin Zhi's soul. His cultivation progress was slow as the Starlight Moon Pearl absorbed spiritual energy. When sufficient spiritual energy gathered, it would be fed back to Lin Zhi who would help him ascend to the Foundation Establishment Realm in one step. It was suitable for him to practice the Star, Sun, and Moon techniques.]
'So that's how it is, ' Jiang Hao thought.
Jiang Hao was actually related to the Bright Moon Sect. First, Chu Chuan, and now, Lin Zhi. The two were somehow related to the sect.
'What would others do if they knew of this secret?' Jiang Hao thought. Lin Zhi would definitely be killed for the sake of the treasures within his soul.
Jiang Hao had no interest in the treasure. Even if he did, he could not kill the youngster. He recruited her here anyway. He could not kill a child in cold blood.
"Are you okay?" asked Jiang Hao.
Lin Zhi looked down. “I... I didn't steal anything.”
“I know,” said Jiang Hao gently. “The people who beat you also know that. They only made excuses to attack you and take your spirit stones. This was not uncommon in the sect, but things like this always happened. ”
Lin Zhi clenched her hands. He then released it. He seemed to be resigned to his fate.
Jiang Hao realized it. “You have two friends who have amazing talents. The first thing you need to understand and accept is the gap between you and them. You need to know where they stand and where you stand. After that, you need to decide how you want to act.”
Lin Zhi looked at Jiang Hao in confusion.
“Like it or not, this place is a demon sect. Most of the disciples here are just waiting for their time to bring you down. All you need to do is not to keep the spirit stones, but use them to become stronger as soon as possible. Your path will be much more difficult than others.”
Carrying a treasure also meant bearing enormous consequences. If Lin Zhi advanced too fast, it would attract the attention of others. Physical and mental tension are very draining. If successful, he will rise to the top and face new problems. If he failed, he would remain at the bottom, beaten.
“Are you having trouble in cultivation?” jiang Hao asked as they walked back.
“I am gathering spiritual energy, but I am having problems with his cultivation technique,” said Lin Zhi honestly. He knew Jiang Hao would advise him if he had any problems.
“One Hundred Revolutions Technique Heavenly Note related to sound. As you cultivate, you will feel your meridians tremble slightly. Listen to it and follow it. It will help you cultivate faster.”
Jiang Hao explained and advised Lin Zhi a lot on the way home. He did not tell the boy about the Starlight Moon Pearl within his soul. He did not understand why the ancient teacher, Gu Ming, was interested in Lin Zhi.
'Average talent, average temperament, average perseverance. How could such a person deserve such a huge treasure? It will only hurt him in the long run..
Jiang Hao watched as Lin Zhi returned to his residence. He hid himself and stood some distance away.
Regardless of how ordinary Lin Zhi looked, he was still the owner of the treasure. The future is uncertain, but the current situation is very bad.
The other disciples might be after him and make his life hell. He would eventually feel the pressure of being left behind by his two best friends.
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment. He then walked to the window to look inside. But what he saw surprised him.
In the corner of the room, Lin Zhi sat cross-legged on the ground and wiped her tears. Tears flowed down his face nonstop.
Only then did Jiang Hao realize that Lin Zhi was only ten years old. He's just a little kid. He was beaten and robbed, with no one to look after him.
After a long while, Lin Zhi dried her tears. He then took out a small box from the drawer on the side table and put a protective talisman inside.
He gently touched it. Eyes glazed. However, before his tears fell, he closed the box and took it outside the room.
Behind the house, he dug a hole and dropped the box into it. He buried the box.
From now on, nothing could scare him. He's got nothing to lose.
Jiang Hao remained silent. “I misjudged him a little.”
He smiled gently and left. Lin Zhi was stronger than he had expected.
It's not much, but it's a start.
Jiang Hao was now aware of Lin Zhi's situation and had a very suitable cultivation technique. But he won't intervene, at least for a while.
He needed to observe Lin Zhi further.
On the way home, Jiang Hao saw someone attacking the other disciple. Bang out!
A young girl punched a boy. He fell into the pile of dirt. Blood stained the surroundings.
“It looks like you hit him to death,” said the spirit beast. “It's a shame I can't eat a human. ”
“ Junior sister Xiao Li, why did you suddenly attack her so fiercely?” Cheng Chou asked.
“He provoked me. He said he had reached the same realm as me,” Xiao Li said.
“Same nature?” Cheng Chou sighed. Didn't Chu Chuan have learned something by now?
Chu Chuan fainted.
Jiang Hao looked towards the severely injured Chu Chuan. He had reached the second stage of the Life Blood Refinement Realm.
'The second stage in just a year.he advanced so quickly,' Jiang Hao thought. The gap was even more visible when compared to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi started cultivating faster than Chu Chuan.
However, compared to Lin Zhi, Chu Chuan was luckier.
Jiang Hao approached them.
“It's almost lunch hour. Let's catch a gentle and rich child to eat,” said the spirit beast shamelessly. “I won't eat anything today. We'll eat. carrots! Nothing better than carrots!”
Xiao Lu and Cheng Chou were puzzled by the sudden change in attitude of the spirit beast.
“Really, Sir?” said the beast while turning around.
Surprisingly, Xiao Li turned to look and found that Jiang Hao was walking towards them.
He flicked his head back to look at the unconscious Chu Chuan on the ground. He then gripped the spirit beast tightly and held it in front of him as if he was protecting himself.
