THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
205: Some Don't Have Houses To Return to
“Focus on developing this technique, preferably at night,” said Jiang Hao.
“The Star-Moon Life Blood Refinement Technique is different from the Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Note technique. The next stage does not require you to advance to a certain realm. As long as you are adept at manipulating the power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, you can expand the coverage and increase the absorption speed. However, most involve dynamic exercises. Every movement and technique can give you a significant improvement.”
“But it seems like this technique is not from our sect,” said Lin Zhi somewhat confused.
“No problem,” said Jiang Hao sure. “This text has no rules prohibiting the use of different techniques. You don't have to explain it to anyone. Just focus on processing it.”
Lin Zhi felt relieved after hearing that.
Jiang Hao explained the method of introduction to him. With his temperament and physique, it was much easier to practice the Star-Moon Blood Refinement Technique.
Late at night, Lin Zhi felt the power of the stars in the forest. Although his movements and techniques were unfamiliar, he felt familiar with them. As if it was a perfect fit for him.
He no longer felt any hindrance in his cultivation. His heart was filled with joy. Then he fully immersed himself in cultivation.
When he finished cultivating, he realized that it was already dawn, and Jiang Hao was nowhere to be seen.
He saw his hand. Even though he did not see any physical changes to her, he knew that she was becoming stronger. He can feel it.
Although happy, he knows that his talent is still average and he needs to work hard
In the morning, Jiang Hao sat under the Everlasting Peach Tree. It has bloomed.
For now, he had done what he could for Lin Zhi. He had taught her the introductory method, but he did not plan to guide her any further personally. It was enough to let the beast be a guide. Helping her was just an act of kindness, and she didn't mean to get too involved. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome, just like with Xiao Li and the spirit beasts.
Although both of them had not caused great distress to him, he felt that both of them would cause even more trouble as he grew.
He had to expel them before such a thing happened.
There was also Chu Chuan. Unfortunately, he was someone who needed guidance. In the path of cultivation, conflict was inevitable. After achieving certain achievements, he would come out on his own.
As for Lin Zhi, Jiang Hao realized that he would face many problems in the future.
Jiang Hao did not want to interact with Lin Zhi. If he needed something, he could ask the beast for help. If the beast was able to explain the basic methods of the new technique, Jiang Hao would not go out to meet Lin Zhi at all.
Lin Zhi's path was long yet difficult. If he could progress smoothly, Jiang Hao would protect and guide him for a while. If Lin Zhi proved strong enough to regain her protective talisman, she would be able to take care of herself.
Jiang Hao sighed and headed to the Spirit Potion Garden. The people from the Hundred Bones Forest were coming soon, and he needed to see if Bai Ye would appear with them.
Seven days later, Jiang Hao did not wait for the people from the Hundred Bones Forest, but he met Cheng Chou and Xiao Li.
“Senior Brother Jiang, this is for you.” Xiao Li gave her some cake. He looks a little disheveled.
Cheng Chou was injured again.
“What happened this time?” Jiang Hao picked up the cake and helped Cheng Chou treat his injuries.
“We met the disciples from Azure Mountain,” Cheng Chou said with a bitter smile.
Every time they come out, they face danger. Fortunately, they managed to escape.
Cheng Chou had also become stronger through actual combat. However, he had witnessed Xiao Li's incredible strength. Even those in the Foundation Establishment Realm could not match him in a fight.
Jiang Hao treated Cheng Chou's wounds. “Is your family happy you're back?” jiang Hao asked as he looked at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li nodded. “Mother is so happy because she makes chicken every day. Dad had bought me a lot of preserved meat before I even returned home. They love the stuff I take back for them. Next time, I have to take more. Mom's eyes weren't good, so I had to kill the chicken myself and start a fire. He praised me!” Xiao Li grinned in excitement.
After he finished treating Cheng Chou's wounds, he examined the pastries Xiao Li had given him. This time, they were not poisoned.
He ate one. It tasted a little better than what Xiao Li had brought you last time.
When Cheng Chou had recovered, Jiang Hao let Xiao Li and the beast go to play together.
“How's it going?” Jiang Hao asked.
What he meant was Xiao Li's foster parents.
"Not so good." Cheng Chou sighed. “Their health is not good. They are hardworking and refuse to rest. They were extremely reluctant to let go of Xiao Li this time. They were afraid they would never see him again. I quietly set up a formation to improve their surroundings and prepare some supplies for them. I also collected some medicinal plants to help with diseases and such.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
“Senior Brother Jiang, are you worried that Young Brother Xiao Li cannot bear if something happens to his parents?” Cheng Chou asked.
Jiang Hao remained calm. “Yah. Some can go home, some can't. If anything happens, Xiao Li no longer has a home to return to.”
Jiang Hao seemed to be reminded of his own situation. “I can't even go back to my homeland.”
Cheng Chou looked down. He had no family, so he did not understand why Xiao Li wanted to return home and why Jiang Hao was helping him. But now he understands.
“By the way, there is something you need to take care of,” said Jiang Hao.
After listening to Jiang Hao's instructions, Cheng Chou left the sect. It took him about a week to get back.
Jiang Hao gave him some talismans before he left.
“You have not reached Foundation Establishment Level yet, so this journey will take quite a long time,” Jiang Hao said as he planned to give Cheng Chou another boost in his cultivation.
Now that Xiao Li had returned, Jiang Hao could continue his plan for the spirit beast.
Jiang Hao currently had thirteen thousand spirit stones. He planned to sell a few more items in the next few days to see how much he could gather.
At that time, it was time for another incarnation of the Eternal Peach Tree. Jiang Hao once again had no money after taking care of the tree and the beast at the same time.
In the afternoon, Jiang Hao felt depressed when he saw the peach tree begin to bear fruit. He decided to keep an eye on the tree so that the ripe fruit would not be left on the tree.
He took a rope and tied it to a pole in his yard. “Come, come here.”
“Master, I'm here.” The spirit leaped to Jiang Hao's side. He did not panic when he saw the rope. Now I'm used to it. Around this time last year he was tied up. “Wake up here,” said Jiang Hao.
The spirit beast obediently and waited patiently to be tied up.
“Master, how much will I eat this time? I do not agree if the number is too little,” said the spirit beast.
Jiang Hao was silent.
“You will start eating spirit stones from tomorrow.”
“Master, can I ask for sugar to dip it?”
“No, you can't.”
