In the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, inside the alchemy room was close to Earth
Fire, Lian Daozhi paced helplessly. He tried to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, and it was more difficult than he had expected. He has failed again.
However, he was sure that success was just a matter of time.
Moreover, he had already found the right pill. He was simply lacking the final spirit herb. That spirit herb was not impossible to find. That's a little rare.
At this moment, a Foundation Establishment Level disciple, who had been waiting for a long time, came to him nervously. “Senior Brother, Bitter Fruit has been intercepted.”
Bitter Fruit, as the name implies, has a very bitter taste. However, it can balance other flavors and adjust spiritual energy appropriately.
There were many spirit herbs to regulate spiritual energy, but among them, the Bitter Fruit had relatively low side effects.
“Dicegat?” Lian Daozhi's face darkened. “There are five of you in the final stages of the Natural Establishment Foundation and two at the peak Natural Establishment Foundation. You can't store fruit safely?!”
Lian Daozhi would not use this fruit if he did not purify a relatively obscure pill. Low-value Bitter Fruit. However, some alchemy solutions require such a thing. Otherwise, why would they go that far?
“It was a sneaky enemy that suddenly appeared out of nowhere,” said the disciple in the Foundation Establishment Realm. “They fooled us.”
“Not far from here, and Azure Mountain had no guts to come here. Does that mean...is it someone from the sect?” Lian Daozhi asked.
He needs to get the fruit. He still had ten days to use it.
“The attacker is a beast in the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The movement is unpredictable. We can't find him at all. We can't keep up with his speed,” said the nervous student. “But.. She wears a collar. It must have belonged to one of the seniors in the sect.”
“A beast in the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm... and wearing a necklace,” muttered Lian Daozhi while staring at his junior. “Does he call himself the Beast Master?”
"Yes! It says something about having a strong friend.”.
Lian Daozhi sighed. “Tell me in detail what really happened.”
The group had closed the area and waited for the Bitter Fruit to ripen, but the beast had somehow entered the formation and picked the fruit right in front of everyone. They chased him but were tricked. In the end, it got away.
"You're useless!" said Lian Daozhi.
The junior disciple lowered his head and remained silent.
Lian Daozhi only knew one person who possessed such an animal. Jiang Hao of the Broken Cliffs.
The problem is not easy to deal with. Lian Daozhi would use threats and intimidation if it was another disciple in the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, Jiang Hao was different. Despite their cooperation in growing herbs, Jiang Hao had some benefits on his behalf.
His latest achievement was when he was able to complete the mission of the sect by cultivating the Corpse Realm Flower.
If he gets caught, the Broken Heart Cliff might take action.
After all, this achievement brings many benefits to the Broken Heart Cliff. If the person contributing to the benefit is harassed, the branch may protest.
That was one of the reasons Lian Daozhi was hesitant to act.
Next was the Hall of Honor. With such an achievement, Jiang Hao might be mentioned there. Lian Daozhi could not oppose it. If he did, the Hall of Merits would probably ask for spirit stones for the damage inflicted. “Looks like I have to do a small trip.”
The next day, Jiang Hao assessed the Heart of the Corpse.
[Corpse Heart: Zhuang Yuzhen's Corpse Heart. Absorbing the aura of holy objects could significantly increase Zhuang Yuzhen's awakening. Absorbing the aura of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower gave him more possibilities. It is currently sealed by the Universe in one palm and cannot resonate with holy objects.]
'Looks like no problem for now.' Jiang Hao sighed in relief.
He would continue to seal it layer by layer every day.
After sealing the Corpse Heart, he began to seal the Pearl of Heavenly Fate Crash.
After completing this task, he looked around to make sure no one was looking. Then he took out the Book of Charm.
He intended to read the contents once more. He sat under a peach tree, enjoying the cool summer breeze while opening up books.
After a while, he heard a soft laughter in front of him.
Jiang Hao instinctively closed the book and looked up. He only saw the empty air in front of him. Slowly, a red figure appeared.
He sat on the wooden chair and looked at Jiang Hao. This was Jiang's first time
Hao had seen Hong Yuye appear.
"Seniors…"
“What cultivation world are you in?” Hong Yuye reached out and picked up the book on the table.
“Middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm,” said Jiang Hao.
"How old are you?" Hong Yuye asked.
“Twenty-four,” says Jiang Hao.
“The middle stage of the Natural Establishment Foundation at the age of twenty-four? It was rather slow,” Hong Yuye said as she casually flipped through the book. “I don't have high talent in cultivating.”
Hong Yuye chuckled. “I gave you a ladder, and you actually climbed it.” Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent.
“How is your disguise mission?” Hong Yuye's gaze was fixed on the book.
“I have gained a foothold in the meeting and will soon be able to find out why the Thousand Great Gods Sect sent people to Hidden Cloud Prefecture. People trying to snatch the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower can also reveal some information,” Jiang Hao said.
This is the progress he has made in the last two years. Although he was still far from knowing who exactly was behind the stone tablets, he was still a step ahead.
Hong Yuye stopped flipping through the book and looked at Jiang Hao. He was a little unfamiliar with his honesty.
“Did you find anything else?” she asked.
“In that meeting, Xing was most likely someone with authority. I suspect he is from
The Bright Moon Sect. He said he could obtain the Clear Sky School secret technique called the Free Form technique. He already has the Bright Moon Sect technique, Myriad Body.”
Jiang Hao was a little envious. He did not plan to cultivate it himself, but having a clone to do something was convenient, like Qu Zhong.
Although he had lost two clones and the Corpse Heart, his main body had escaped unscathed. No one could find it, even if they tried.
From the very beginning, he planned to retreat once his plan started.
“It looks like you are fully focused on this.” Hong Yuye looked at him.
“Senior, while working on tasks for you, I did not hold back my efforts.”
It seems he has no choice. He was constantly worried Gui would find out his identity, or he might face another Qu Zhong clone. Every day he put off was a day wasted.
Hong Yuye smiled faintly, lowered his head, and continued reading the book.
“Make tea.”
Hong Yuye had not visited for a long time, so there was still a lot of tea left. He did not need to take out spirit stones to refill them any time soon.
“Tell me about your experience at the meeting,” said Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao prepared the tea and sat down at the table. She poured a cup for him and for herself. Then he started to tell me about the meeting.
He's not hiding anything.
When he told him about Liu seeking the Clear Sky School Free Form technique and the Myriad Body of the Bright Moon Sect, he shook his head. “A myriad of Body and Free Form Techniques is just a superficial method.” “Is there any other technique?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Yah... The technique is Myriad Body, but it is not used for re-cultivation. It was used in conjunction with other secret techniques,” Hong Yuye said.
“What secret technique?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Star Shifting Technique.”
