THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
277: Threatens Zhuang Yuzhen Again
On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao stood in front of the cell.
He looked at Zhuang Yuzhen, who was weaker than before and had many bruises and scars on her body.
However, those injuries did not seem to have any effect on the stubbornness of his head.
Jiang Hao knocked on the wood. "Are you awake?"
Zhuang Yuzhen raised her tired head, and her lifeless gaze sharpened upon seeing Jiang Hao.
She's leaning. “You finally got here.”
“I have some questions for you.” Jiang Hao sat down and took out a book. “I want you to answer it.”
“Question?” Zhuang Yuzhen laughed. “Do you think I'm your master? You expect me to teach you cultivation? Why do I do that?”
“It's not about cultivation. It's about the formation.” Jiang Hao took the book and showed it to Zhuang Yuzhen.
When Zhuang Yuzhen saw the formation, she frowned. It's unbelievable.
“Where did you get that information?”
“I can tell you if you teach me,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.
“Did someone from the Divine Corpse Sect approach you to cooperate?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked. Then he sighed. “Yeah, it's time for the Natural Corpse Flower to bloom.”
Jiang Hao was silent.
Zhuang Yuzhen did not look surprised at all. It seemed that he did not expect someone from the Divine Corpse Sect to come and save him.
Jiang Hao felt that something was wrong. If it was a demon sect, Jiang Hao could understand. But the Divine Corpse Sect was an immortal sect. Wouldn't the immortal sect save its own people?
Jiang Hao used Daily Valuation on Zhuang Yuzhen.
[Zhuang Yuzhen: Elder of the Divine Corpse Sect. His cultivation was absorbed and destroyed by the Lawless Tower, leaving him at the early stages of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Looking at the formation in your hands, he knew that his sect people had arrived. When his disciples made contact with the people of the sect, the Heart of Corpses would be moved. As long as those people observed the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower on behalf of the sect, they would have a chance to release the Corpse Heart and regain their lives. Now, he plans to buy some time with you. If you are not on the side of the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower, others will have a greater chance of succeeding.]
Jiang Hao was stunned.
He smiled and gestured to Zhuang Yuzhen.
Zhuang Yuzhen's face darkened. He felt that Jiang Hao had known his plan.
Jiang Hao lowered his hand. “I forgot you can't get close. Then let me tell you something. After I say it, you will be very willing to teach me the formation.”
'This is it again….' Zhuang Yuzhen was traumatized right now.
“I heard..” Jiang Hao approached the cell. “Before the people from the Divine Corpse Sect arrived here, the spies from your sect died outside.”
Zhuang Yuzhen was stunned. His eyes widened with anger.
Jiang Hao smiled and kept the book. “It seems you don't want to teach me. Well, maybe we'll meet again next time.”
He had no choice but to go back and study the formation himself. After all, it was not a loss for him. He had dealt a blow to Zhuang Yuzhen once more and made her keep guessing with pain.
"I'll tell you! I'll teach you!" yelled Zhuang Yuzhen.
He was afraid that Jiang Hao would just leave like last time. Each time, he took longer to come and see her than last time. If he were to leave this time, it might take years until he came and saw her again.
No matter how angry Zhuang Yuzhen was, she had to swallow her anger and hold it in.
“It was really unexpected. Please teach me correctly. You can take as long as you want. No problem,” said Jiang Hao.
Zhuang Yuzhen fell silent. He knows it!
It was no coincidence that this person was responsible for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
Jiang Hao handed the notebook to Zhuang Yuzhen. He frowned as he flipped over it.
He looked at Jiang Hao after a while. “This is just the beginning of the formation. How long have you been studying formations?
"Not too long. Actually, I just started it.”
“So... you don't have any knowledge of formations?
"I don't." Jiang Hao shook his head.
In fact, he knew little about it but not too much to make a significant difference.
Zhuang Yuzhen said nothing more and began to guide Jiang Hao in formation.
Jiang Hao was not ashamed of it. This formation was related to his safety, so he had to understand it thoroughly.
For an entire month, Jiang Hao studied the formation diligently and was finally able to understand it fully.
He consulted Zhuang Yuzhen during the day and used his divine abilities for understanding at night.
For the sake of security, he even had Zhuang Yuzhen simulate various situations.
Instead, Zhuang Yuzhen asked for information about her disciple. “The clone's main body is on the run.”
Zhuang Yuzhen seemed to have found hope again.
Jiang Hao did not mind.
He needed to report to Elder Baizhi again.
Zhuang Yuzhen had revealed a method to unseal one of her treasures, allowing the Heavenly Note Sect to obtain a complete and powerful treasure.
In this way, Jiang Hao made his contribution.
He visited Zhuang Yuzhen regularly for a month.
In mid-October, Jiang Hao stood in his courtyard. Peach trees are finally ripe.
The beast occasionally brought Xiao Li to pluck the peaches secretly. They act like thieves.
The beast had always told Xiao Li that peaches were sweeter if stolen from its tree.
Jiang Hao was speechless when he saw them do this.
He felt something was wrong. Peach trees seem to grow more slowly than before.
He used Daily Valuation and found that the tree needed to mature three times before its next incarnation. That means he cannot undergo this year's incarnation.
'Every three years... will I get a golden or purple bubble at that time?'
so tar, ne unaierst00d tnat purple DUDD1es gave him mm cnvme at)lltles, gold gave him treasures, and purple-gold bubbles gave him new techniques.
He prefers purple bubbles. He would rather have more divine abilities than treasures. He could use his abilities at any time but could not use some treasures.
If the incarnation happened once every three years, then he would have enough time to obtain and store spirit stones.
However, this means fewer bubbles. They rarely happen.
“Master, let's go immediately to the Spirit Potion Park,” said the beast.
“Why are you in a hurry today?” Jiang Hao asked as he walked out of the courtyard.
“We have some new people coming today. They need to know who has the final say in the Spirit Herb Garden,” said the beast. “All my friends know that I, the Beast Master, am the only one capable of such a thing.” Jiang Hao smiled.
Gu Cheng and Qing You also headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.
“I wondered..The reason Jiang Hao got the place was because he was the one who discovered how to make the Corpse Natural Flower bloom,” Gu Cheng said.
"really?" Qing You was surprised.
“I don't know for sure.but I heard the flower first bloomed in White Moon Lake, so there is a chance that someone from White Moon Lake intended for this to happen,” Gu Cheng said.
"Whatchu mean? Does this person have anything to do with the Acting Sect Master of the Heavenly Note Sect?” ask Qing You.
“It's hard to say. If the flower actually blooms on White Moon Lake first, then there are three possibilities. First, Jiang Hao was truly an expert in cultivating spirit herbs, and somehow he managed to make a flower bloom in White Moon Lake. Second, Jiang Hao had a relationship with the Acting Sect Master. Third, the Broken Heart Cliff had something to do with the Acting Sect Master. Apart from those three options, we still need to guide him in formation, ” Gu Cheng said.
“But his understanding of formations was only average,” Qing You said. “Senior Brother Gu, which do you think is the most likely?”
“It's hard to say, but other seniors believe the third possibility is the most likely. I heard that Jiang Hao did not have a strong background and was almost made into a scapegoat. But…"
'Was Fang's death really just a coincidence?'
Gu Cheng sighed. “Let's focus on completing the mission for now.”
Qing you nodded. After all, they should focus on completing the mission. They need not worry too much about other speculations.
Every time he thought of teaching the formation to Jiang Hao, he felt tired. He couldn't even understand the beginner formation well. More complex formations were impossible to do!
One day may not be enough to teach him everything..
