THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
233: The Last Light
At night, Jiang Hao inspected his surroundings and began cultivating.
After more than a year of accumulation, he was finally able to advance.
If everything went smoothly, he would be able to reach the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He would temporarily surpass Liu Xingchen.
However, he had to be wary of Bai Ye.
In the past two days, he had assessed his own situation and tested all kinds of strength. No problem at all.
Unfortunately, Hong Yuye had not visited for seven months. Otherwise, Jiang Hao could have obtained security.
He emptied his mind of all thoughts and began to advance. His spiritual energy surged within his body.
The Heart Sutra of Hong Meng circulated and nourished his body. It allowed his spiritual energy to flow through his meridians and finally feed his Primordial Spirit Realm.
There was a tingling sensation during the breakthrough, but it was a
normal phenomenon.
After holding on for a moment, Jiang Hao felt as if a huge door was opening, and new strength began to solidify.
‘I have reached the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm!’
It happened sooner than he expected. His Primordial Spirit Realm ability had helped him advance easily.
Frequently gathering bubbles and possessing the divine ability of Primordial Spirit made the situation far superior to others of the same level.
Liu Xingchen's progress was also rapid. Maybe because he devoured the soul of the person who possessed him. He may also have divine abilities.
Jiang Hao did not know much about his abilities, so it was hard to speculate.
He closed his eyes again and planned on using the rest of the points to refine his cultivation.
The next morning, Jiang Hao activated the Hidden Spirit Re-emergence ability.
After his cultivation recovered, he stored the pile in his wrist protector.
He also took out Half-Moon Blade to refine it.
He had not gone to the Spirit Herb Garden all day. He just got up and headed there towards dusk to collect some bubbles and check the spirit herbs.
After returning to his courtyard, he used the Hidden Heaven Secrets Amulet. It hides its aura.
As expected, there were people spying on him in secret.
Judging from its aura, their cultivation should not be that strong.
However, he did not investigate it because he did not want them to feel it. It seemed that they all had treasures to hide their presence.
After a long time, the spy disappeared.
After telling the spirit beast that he was going to the Spirit Jamu Garden tomorrow, he entered the house.
He sensed Xiao Li's sub-ring aura and then sat cross-legged on the floor.
At this moment, he was still cultivating the Half-Month Sword.
Late at night, he disappeared from his place.
Huangsha River.
Yuxia Village.
The moon shone brightly in the sky, and a silver veil descended from above, enveloping the peaceful little village.
Occasionally, the barking of the dog sounded from a distance. Most of them hear crickets chirping at night.
In the corner of the village, the small courtyard was still lit up.
“Mother, I'll sleep. Tomorrow I will go to the river to catch fish with Dad for you,” said a girl's voice.
“Alright, sleep. You won't be able to wake up tomorrow if you sleep late.” “Tell me the story of the Sea God,” said the voice of the girl after a while.
"okay."
After a while, the story ended. The girl did not answer. He must have fallen asleep.
'Is this the place?' Jiang Hao glanced at the courtyard and turned around.
He had no intention of disturbing the people who lived there. He walked out of the courtyard and looked at Cheng Chou. He was digging under a tree.
Jiang Hao did not bother him.
After some time, Jiang Hao walked to the farthest part of the mountain and sat cross-legged under the tree. He was attracting danger, so he wanted to see if the Hidden Heaven Secrets Talisman really managed to hide it from the sight of others.
If he failed, someone would probably notice him. There was a chance he could escape their attack if he moved fast enough.
He is fully ready. He will kill anyone who attacks him. If the enemy was stronger than him, he would buy time and teleport to his home in the sect.
This way, he did not need to involve Xiao Li and the others.
Until dawn, Jiang Hao did not feel any danger. He's safe for now.
While he was heading towards the village, he saw an old man with a bamboo basket coming out from Xiao Li's house.
The old man had a slightly bent back, dark skin, and a face full of wrinkles.
Jiang Hao frowned. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards her.
His footsteps caught the old man's attention.
“Young man, are you looking for clues? Are you lost?" asked the old man with concern.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “Just pass by. I want to take a walk in this area. What are you here for?"
“I will dig bamboo shoots,” said the old man.
“Please let me accompany you,” said Jiang Hao.
The old man nodded. The young man looked tough and polite. If he were here to attack her, he would not be able to escape.
"All right."
Then they both walked towards the mountains.
“Are you okay?” asked Jiang Hao. “Why do you want to go all the way to find bamboo shoots? What about your family?"
The old man chuckled. “I've been bedridden for half a month. My daughter kept saying that the shoots I picked tasted good. Today, I feel much better. I thought I would look for bamboo shoots in the mountains.” “Sounds like you love your daughter a lot.”
“He was naughty, but he was well behaved,” said the old man proudly.
“How about your other children?” Jiang Hao asked.
The old man shook his head helplessly. "Who knows? Maybe they don't want to take care of us anymore, or maybe they're dead.”
The old man stopped in front of the bamboo forest and was about to start digging.
"I'll do it. I've never done this before, but I always wanted to try it,” said Jiang Hao. He smiled and took the hoe out of the old man's hand.
“But this troubles you, young man,” said the old man.
"That's right. I don't mind. Do you have regrets in your life?” jiang Hao asked while digging the ground.
"Of course." The old man laughed. “Who lives without regrets? I feel like I have spent most of my life regretting or feeling sorry.”
“Life is hard, isn't it?” Jiang Hao glanced at the calluses in the old man's hands.
The old man leaned against the bamboo and chuckled. “You how else.. Everyone lives a life full of struggle. I am curious about the life of the rich in the city. I want to know what kind of hoe they use for farming.”.
“Golden one?” said Liang Hao
The old man laughed out loud. “The rich don't farm. They make others do it for them.”
Jiang Hao smiled then dug a bamboo shoot.
“Please dig another one. I'll save it for my daughter.”
Jiang Hao took out a bamboo basket. "of course. I have plenty of time.”
As he watched the old man's vitality seemingly burn his last flame, Jiang Hao could only sigh..
