THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
394: Prostrate
Jiang Hao looked at the others. They all had traces of that aura. Wind and Cold Poison.
The poison is hard to detect.
If he wanted to remove it, it wasn't too difficult. Even for someone who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was quite easy.
But he wanted to find the root cause of the disease.
'Yu Xuan's... I don't know which branch he came from.'
“Senior Brother Jiang, what's with them?” Cheng Chou asked.
“Is anyone claiming to be able to cure it?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Cure them?” Cheng Chou thought about it. “I heard some seniors say that we should try to find someone from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion,” Cheng Chou said.
“Then, go and try.” Jiang Hao handed over five spirit stones to Cheng Chou. “If it doesn't work, ask someone who is experienced in this field.”
Cheng Chou nodded.
Finding that person should be relatively easy. The only difficulty is what happens after.
Given that others wanted to continue accepting spirit stones, it was certain that his attitude would be extremely unapproachable and arrogant.
They thought the Broken Cliff would ask for that.
Jiang Hao looked towards the Lawless Tower and felt that things were troublesome within the sect.
However, he was in no hurry. He had to find Qian Chen first.
If he was involved, then he might be the source of everything.
If Jiang Hao found the source, the others would behave. This way, it will benefit everyone.
Back in the Spirit Potion Garden, Jiang Hao took care of the spirit herbs.
He was observing some workers there.
However, this time was different from before. When people see it, they show fear.
Jiang Hao knew this because of the rumors circulating.
'Are they trying to annoy me?' Jiang Hao wondered.
However, he did not care about the feelings of these people. He was just watching them.
The men lowered their heads after a while. They were afraid he would attack them.
After confirming their condition, Jiang Hao frowned.
“Most of them were affected. It seemed that it would not be long until no one was healthy enough to work in the Spirit Herb Garden. Then, I have to buy the antidote or recruit some new workers. After that is done, the rumors will spread even further.’
Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly.
After that, he returned to his residence and started making talismans. He had gathered some talismans. He needs to sell it.
Three days later, Cheng Chou gathered the necessary information.
“After searching for a while, I heard that Sister Yu Xuan of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion can completely cure this type of illness. Some seniors told me about it when they saw me looking for a solution.”
“Hm... can you call her here?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.
The next day, Cheng Chou returned empty-handed.
“They said Sister Yu Xuan is doing alchemy and won't be out of seclusion until tomorrow.”
“Go tomorrow once more.”
On the second day, Cheng Chou returned alone again.
“Today, Senior Brother Yu Xuan said he will discuss alchemy with his fellow disciples, so we will have to wait for two or three days.” Three days later, Cheng Chou went to pick her up again.
“They said I should come tomorrow.”
Cheng Chou became a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
The next day, Cheng Chou hesitated,
"What did he say?" jiang Hao asked calmly.
Jiang Hao nodded. Then he will visit her.
The next day, Jiang Hao followed Cheng Chou to the courtyard.
However, from the other people gathered there, he learned that Yu Xuan was busy, and they had to return tomorrow if they wanted to meet him.
Jiang Hao nodded.
One day passed, and Jiang Hao arrived in the courtyard again.
“Senior sister just went to see her friends.”
Jiang Hao left.
From within the pavilion, Yu Xuan watched Jiang Hao leave with a cold smile. “Sister, did you see that? That's how a person looks when you know his weaknesses. He had no choice but to come and wait for me here day after day. Let's see how many spirit stones he wants to remove.”
Yi Lian was a little worried. “Wouldn't that make him take revenge on you?”
"So? What difference?” Yu Xuan snorted. “She is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“Come on.. I feel like he's not as simple as he looks. When he attacked me, he was cruel,” Yi Lian said.
"Cruel? There are a lot of people like that here. What makes it so special?” Yu Xuan looked amused. “After all, Senior Brother Qian Chen was the one who thought of this plan for us. He supports us. He was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Do you think he is stronger than Senior
Brother Qian Chen?”
“What if he doesn't care about ordinary non-cultivators and lets them die?” Yi Lian asked.
Yu Xuan smiled. “Everyone said he was right. Such a person is most easily burdened with his reputation. For us, killing ordinary people did not burden our hearts at all. That doesn't matter to us. Even if he doesn't care, we have our own way. If the time came, both ordinary people and fellow disciples, they would all accuse him. Every death will be caused by his anger and impulsiveness. In the end, even if he was not such a person, he would be such a person. No one wants to listen to his explanation. No one's gonna believe him. His path within the sect would become extremely difficult. Moreover, if he did nothing to resolve this matter, the Spirit Potion Garden would face a problem. At that time, no one knew what punishment he would receive.”
“Then, will he be forced into a corner?” yi Lian asked worriedly.
“What's the difference? He had no idea about the poison I was giving. Even if he knew, what could he do? With my Golden Core Realm and the successful construction of the foundation, he was unable to do anything to me. I hope he takes action against me. This way, he will definitely die.” Yu Xuan sneered.
Suddenly, he thought of something. “I suddenly got an idea. I would have him prepare the spirit stone and then tell him that I would be out in three to five days. If he had been unable to gather it all this time, he would have had to wait for me to return to resolve the matter. If he managed to collect it early, I would have told him that I left early. Let's see what he'll do later…
On Jiang Hao's third visit, he still didn't see it.
However, Yu Xuan had set the conditions.
“Senior Brother Yu Xuan said that he was aware of the problem you were facing. The problem is very complicated. Please gather five hundred spirit stones within five days, and he will personally come to you to help you. However, he will be out after five days, so if you cannot collect spirit stones during that time, you will have to wait until he returns.”
"Five hundred?" Cheng Chou could not believe it.
Five hundred spirit stones was a sect resource worth one year.
Who can do that in such a short time?
"Yes. Senior Brother Yu Xuan is a Gold Core Alchemist. He gets more from his job. He gave you his time,” said another student.
'Gold Core Alchemist…'
Cheng Chou was silent. It would take a great price to hire a Gold Core Alchemist.
Jiang Hao nodded. "All right."
After that, he left.
But he did not go to collect spirit stones. Instead, he was watching over Yu Xuan's residence.
Five days later, he did not go to the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. Yu Xuan did not leave the sect either.
Jiang Hao had no choice but to visit him again. NOVLnext.com
This time, the disciples told him that Yu Xuan had come out, and they did not know when he would return.
“Playing around with someone in Nature Foundation Establishment is quite entertaining.” Yu Xuan laughed.
“Let's drag on for a few more months. When the people from the Spirit Herb Garden fell down one by one and no one could handle it, he would become anxious. At that time, the number was not only five hundred, it would be eight hundred or a thousand spirit stones. If he cannot afford it, we will be generous and charge him five hundred, and he can pay the rest slowly.”
However, the next day he accepted the assignment from Senior Brother Qian Chen and really had to get out.
He sighed. 'I really need to get out this time.'
He'll leave at night..
