Lin Zhi was at a loss for words. He was especially afraid of the last thing the beast said. 'Eating people who taste good…'
“Are you...What do you want from me?” She asked.
"Don't worry. I haven't eaten a human for a long time. Now, I prefer the sweet ones and the meat is tender. After all, I think your flesh will be too bitter to eat, ” said the spirit beast. “So... do you want Lord Beast's help?”
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhi wiped her tears.
The rabbit pointed at the box. “If it wasn't for me, they'd take it.
So, do you want me to help you? You can give it to me for safekeeping. I will return it to you when you have become stronger.”
Lin Zhi looked puzzled, then she lowered her head to look at the box in her hand. He gripped the box tightly and then loosened it after a while. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“My mom walked thirty miles to get this for me. He traded our food supply for this. He said it would protect me when he wasn't around.” Lin Zhi's lips twitched. “Ibuku sick. He said he would wait for me until I became strong and successful. She said she would cook me some delicious food when I got back. But the disease, the doctor said, I don't think he'll last long. I think it is
I can cure him if I become a strong disciple but. I think I can not.”.
As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes. Lin Zhi wiped the dirt from the box while crying. He then handed it to the spirit beast.
“You are the saddest person I've ever seen,” said the spirit beast while taking the box. “Even if you were the last human in the world, I wouldn't eat you. I think it doesn't taste good. Also, believe me, you will be grateful for the decision you made today. Maybe right now you feel you are doing the worst thing by giving this away, but you will understand it in the future. You will be grateful to have trusted the great demon that once existed on this earth.”
Lin Zhi was confused but did not think too much about it. “How can I find you when I become stronger?” She asked.
“I'll come and look for you. Now, go back and do whatever you have to do.” The spirit beast stared down at the boy who was floating in the air.
After Lin Zhi left, the beast jumped behind a huge tree. He handed the box to Jiang Hao.
“Master, did I do it perfectly?” ask the spirit beast excitedly.
Jiang Hao ignored the beast and reached out to receive the box. He opened it slowly. A common talisman was lying in a box. Lin Zhi's mother probably knew the end of her life was imminent if she walked thirty miles and swapped out her entire food supply to get this for her son.
Jiang Hao touched the talisman with his hand. Waves of strength enveloped the talisman to protect it.
“Maybe this is truly spiritual,” whispered. He closed the box and kept it.
"Let's go."
“Master, did you take it because you think it has great power?” ask the beast.
“Of course not,” said Jiang Hao. “Do you know why he gave it to you?”
“Because I am the greatest demon ever?”
“He knows you are not an ordinary beast, and he cannot fight you if you want to take him away,” Jiang Hao said. “This is very dear to him. To get her back, she had no choice but to become stronger.”
“Will you protect him in the future, Mister?” ask the spirit creature.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “He has to take his own path. In the world of cultivation, you cannot succeed by relying on others. At most, I can guide him.”
Two days later, an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Pill Pavilion of Candlelight came looking for Jiang Hao.
“Greetings, Senior Sister.” Xin Fei greeted him politely.
Jiang Hao was confused. “Sorry, Young Sister. Do I know you?"
Xin Fei looked very young. He must be in his early twenties. He wore an alchemist robe, as if to declare his status and identity. He was in the early stages of the Natural Establishment Foundation.
“Call me Xin Fei,” he said. “I am here in connection with the incident two days ago.”
He took out thirty spirit stones. “I'm here to make a request as well. The three disciples had contributed to the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, and a few seniors noticed them. But they were very angry at their behavior. They still have tasks to run. So, I wanted to ask if their sentence could be reduced from three years to three months. This is for the damage done.”
Xin Fei handed the spirit stone to Jiang Hao.
“Of course, their resources will be reduced for one year after punishment. Otherwise, they won't get a lesson.”
Jiang Hao received the spirit stone. He breathed in his heart. Thirty spirit stones was a huge sum to spend on outer sect disciples. Xin Fei also mentioned that some seniors supported them. Jiang Hao did not want to cause trouble, so he agreed.
"alright. I hope they no longer steal from the Broken Heart Cliffs after their punishment is over,” Jiang Hao said.
“Of course,” said Xin Fei relieved.
After he left, Jiang Hao headed to the cafeteria and handed over thirty spirit stones to Feng Yang as the cost of eating Xiao Li for the month. It had been more than a month since Cheng Chou and Xiao Li left. They'll be back soon.
For the next month, Jiang Hao still passed by Lin Zhi's house every day. The situation is somewhat improving.
Zhao Qingxue and Lin MO came looking for her. Jiang Hao watched from afar.
The three of them, Lin MO with his head held high, and Zhao Qingxue stood up gracefully and gracefully, walking through the forest. Lin Zhi followed behind, looking out of place.
Although he tried his best to get along, he lowered his head and lacked the confidence to stand on a par with them. She looks embarrassed. “Master, why do you think he looks so bitter?” ask the spirit creature.
Jiang Hao smiled sadly but did not say anything.
“We've observed enough. Come back,” said Jiang Hao.
At night, Jiang Hao left the courtyard and walked along the riverbank. He left the animal at home.
Under the moonlight, he read the book in his hand while walking slowly. The book he was holding was the book that the Bright Moon Sect had given him about the Star-Moon Life Blood Refinement Art.
He occasionally read the book to better understand the technique.
Although it only helped until one reached the Foundation Establishment Level, there were some pretty interesting things in it.
He was at the early stages of the Primordial Spirit Realm, so it wasn't difficult for him to grasp this new technique. He also has the Pure and Clear Heart ability to help him understand the process.
A moment later, he heard the sound of a fist hitting something.
It was Lin Zhi.
“You are becoming stronger than before,” said Jiang Hao.
Surprised, Lin Zhi again snapped to take a look. When he realized it was just Jiang Hao, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang,” said and bowed.
“Are you making progress with the Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Note Technique?” asked Jiang Hao.
Lin Zhi looked down. "Not much."
Jiang Hao was not surprised. “Yah.. maybe it's time you switch to another technique if it doesn't work for you.”
Lin Zhi raised his head and looked at Jiang Hao in surprise. “Change technique?”
Jiang Hao threw the book at Lin Zhi.
The title read: Star-Moon Blood Refinement Art..
