THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
206: More Tragic Than Expected
The spirit beast needed to be tied up for eighty-one days this time. Every day, he had to consume a hundred spirit stones. That means a total of 8,100 spirit stones.
Jiang Hao inspected his storage treasure and confirmed that he had enough spirit stones before heading to the Spirit Potion Garden.
“Remember... don't move,” said.
“Master, you can trust me with this,” said the beast with a mouth full of spirit stones.
Jiang Hao of course did not trust the beast. He was already preparing to prevent such an accident. If the beast did not follow his procedures, he would lose a lot of spirit stones this time.
With his current financial situation, he was unable to bear such a huge loss.
After six days, Jiang Hao saw Cheng Chou in the Spirit Jamu Garden. He has returned!
"Did you find anything?" She asked.
“Unfortunately, I have no good news,” Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao sighed. Even though he had expected it, he still felt a little sad. He had sent Cheng Chou to find out about Lin Zhi's mother.
According to Lin Zhi, his mother was seriously ill and unable to afford treatment. After Lin Zhi entered the Heavenly Note Sect, she intended to save up money to help her mother.
Even though his chances of living were very small, there was still hope.
“Tell me everything,” said Jiang Hao.
“The Junior Family Brother Lin is very ordinary. They depend on their mother to do odd jobs to make ends meet. His mother tried hard to send him to a private school and taught him a few words. But her mother fell ill, so she dropped out of school and helped with homework. She has worked hard to earn money for the family, hoping to cure her mother's illness. But no matter how many treatments they tried, there was no progress. Later, when the sect started recruiting disciples, the village sent out several children in one group. Lin Zhi is among them.”
“After sending Lin Zhi away, her mother started taking care of homework. Some people said they saw him in a state of excitement and thought his condition had improved. Sometimes, they greeted him and praised him. If Lin Zhi managed to become a senior disciple, their lives would eventually get better. His mother always smiled at him. He cared about Lin Zhi and wanted her to have a quiet and peaceful life. He did some small work, traded it for grain and saved up food. No one paid too much attention to it until a month later, when the group that went to the Heavenly Note Sect recruitment group returned. It was then that everyone realized that Lin Zhi had entered the sect.”
“Someone told Lin's mother. He smiled as he gave them food, saying that he could finally feel at peace. The person who conveys the message does not pay much attention to it. The next day, many people came to visit. Those who knew of his illness brought with them famous doctors from the city to examine him. But…"
Cheng Chou was silent for a moment. “They realized that Lin Zhi's mother had died. According to the doctor's examination at the scene, he had long been seriously ill and could not be helped. He survives only with willpower and waits for his son to become a disciple before releasing him.” Jiang Hao was silent. He felt a little sentimental. “How about his father?”
“Not long after Lin Zhi was born, his father went hunting in the forest and never returned. Lin Zhi was raised by her mother alone. It must be difficult,” Cheng Chou said sadly. He hesitated. “Should we tell Young Brother Lin about his mother?”
Jiang Hao shook his head. "unneeded. He'll find out when he's back. We don't need to intervene.”
It's been over a year and telling him now is pointless. This might just make him sad and affect his cultivation.
Jiang Hao gave Cheng Chou some Life Blood Refining Pills.
“Correct your cultivation well. Soon, you can progress to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Hearing this, Cheng Chou was overjoyed.
Foundation Establishment Pills will ensure successful progress towards the Foundation Establishment Realm. Fortunately, Jiang Hao had one. There was a sign so he didn't risk selling it.
However, he could give it to Cheng Chou.
Jiang Hao then waited for Bai Ye's arrival.
Three days later, the people from the Hundred Bones Forest arrived. This time, the person in charge of the submission of the spirit herbs was Lian Qin.
“I heard the terms have changed. If something goes wrong, you can tell us. If you find something later, you can tell me later. We will work with all our heart. Moreover, you don't have to worry about spirit stones. After all, we are not like a certain branch that likes to deceive people,” Lian Qin said with a smile.
After the incident with the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, everyone liked to bring it up and mock them. However, there is an advantage. No one would dare to do such a thing again.
“What are you talking about, Senior Brother Lian? How can our branch do such a thing again? Last time it was just a mistake,” said Lian Daozhi, who came to deal with some issues. He looks dissatisfied.
Lian Qin smiled sweetly. “I never mentioned the name Candlelight Pill Pavilion.”
Lian Daozhi snorted and looked at Jiang Hao. “Young Brother Jiang, do you have any free time? We have a number of spirit herbs that we need to plant in the Spirit Potion Garden in the Heartbroken Cliff.”
“I am the one who came first,” said Lian Qin.
Jiang Hao apologized and then roughly explained his arrangements and terms to Lian Qin. He was wary of Bai Ye so he made everything short and simple. He didn't want to challenge them.
After determining the area to plant the Hundred Bone Forest spirit herbs, Jiang Hao turned to Lian Daozhi. “Senior sister Lian, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting this long.”
Lian Daozhi was in the Golden Core Realm. He had given Jiang Hao Black Lotus to plant last time. Jiang Hao had no idea what he wanted to develop this time around.
“I have a number of spirit herbs that I want to plant here for three months,” said Lian Daozhi. “But the difficulty of planting and caring for this herbal plant is quite high. So, I want to ask you first before assigning it to you. Can you handle it, Young Brother Jiang?”
“What kind of spirit banquet is it?” Jiang Hao was quite curious.
If it was something expensive and valuable, he could even get a blue bubble from it.
He had planted some spirit herbs in his own courtyard for some bubbles, especially the Snow Lotus Flower. It cracked so he got it for a cheap price. However, it only caused a bubble for a while and then stopped.
He could not sell the flower because no one wanted to buy a broken lotus flower. It is believed to bring bad luck. He bought it for fifty spirit stones.
“Name Autumn Flower Tomorrow Night. It needs to be cultivated in a good spirit field and watered with spirit liquid every day. It requires a foundation
Establishment Realm Cultivator to handle gold leaf worms on it, ” said Lian Daozhi. “Our Spirit Potion Garden is having some small problems. It's hard to plant it there. So, we have to find another Spirit Herb Garden that is willing. Some other gardens have received some of them, but they are too many in number. The garden can not plant everything.”
“I've never planted it before. You can give me a little first,” said Jiang Hao. He did not refuse, but he did not accept it either. He wanted to see how precious the Autumn Night Tomorrow Flower was..
