THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
42. Demon Women Visit Often
Jiang Hao looked at the beast necklace in his hand. Keeping pets is expensive.
A necklace for a savage beast in the Life Blood Refinement Realm was worth around 100 spirit stones. For a savage beast in the Early Foundation Establishment Realm, he would have to take out 500 spirit stones.
When a pet spirit beast breaks through to a higher level of cultivation, it is important to replace its necklace. Otherwise, the beast would probably have easily destroyed it
Nature is worth more than a thousand spirit stones!
The more Jiang Hao thought about it, the more surprised he saw the number of spirit stones his fellow disciples had.
“Fortunately, talisman making material is affordable.”
He had bought six quality talisman-making materials. They were suitable for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Golden Core Realm. It costs 100 spirit stones.
After all, the cost was lower than pill formulas.
Among the Armament Experts, Alchemists, and Amulet Craftsmen,
Talisman artisans seem to be a cheaper but more profitable option.
After spending 600 spirit stones, Jiang Hao wanted to obtain some spirit stones as compensation for such a large expenditure. So, he thought of setting up a stall to sell talismans.
However, when he thought about the spirit beast in his house, he gave up on the idea. Nowadays, spirit beasts are more important. The talisman could be sold at any time, but he had to face the beast immediately.
The Hundred Flowers Lake.
Hong Yuye sat in the pavilion with a black sword on the table. It was Jiang Hao's Shadow Sword.
He took the sword and looked at it for a long time. Then, he threw it, and it was impaled on the flower beside the pavilion.
"Continue. Tell me,” said.
Baizhi stood respectfully with his head lowered. He's nodding. He found it hard to breathe in such a powerful presence. “After the Azure Mountain DAO conference, they suddenly decided to attack us. I think... it was due to the reappearance of the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.”
“It looks like there is a traitor in our midst,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
“I'm sorry for my incompetence,” Baizhi said as he knelt apologizing.
Hong Yuye did not look towards Baizhi. He looked at the clouds in the sky. “It's too early to say. We have to wait and watch. As for Azure Mountain, that's your problem. You handle it.”
"I understand." Baizhi nodded. “No change in Heartbroken Cliff. However, Jiang Hao's cultivation level increased again. He might have some people backing him in secret. Devil Den might be just an excuse. He still could not clear his name completely. The disguise of the Eternal Sunset Sect did die in his hands once again. A man in the early stages of the Golden Core Realm.”
“Then continue to observe him.” Hong Yuye looked at the flower. “Since we are in conflict with Azure Mountain, let's take a look at some of their cultivation techniques and books.”
A gentle breeze blew over the flowers and Hong Yuye looked at him in awe.
Baizhi lowered his head and remained silent. Hong Yuye broke the silence. “Baizhi, why do you think Azure Mountain dared to attack us so suddenly? Is it because the Heavenly Note Sect is not as strong as it used to be, or because the Azure Mountain is getting stronger by the day?”
“Not really,” says Baizhi. He looks scared. “In the past few decades, Azure Mountain has become even more powerful. However, in terms of strength, they were still inferior to the Heavenly Note Sect.”
As the Acting Sect Master, Baizhi was responsible for ensuring the sect remained strong while monitoring the growth of other sects as well.
If the other sects became stronger, then Baizhi had to make sure his sect became stronger. Failing to do so means relaxing his work. Baizhi was afraid the Sect Master would think he had neglected his responsibilities.
“If it is because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, there must be someone on the Azure Mountain who wants it for something important,” Baizhi said. “If not, with the current existence of Azure Mountain, they would not dare to act rashly.”
Hong Yuye's gaze focused on Baizhi. "Find it."
"Understood."
Baizhi then left the pavilion. On the way home, he thought about his next move. He wanted to put the female disciple to test Jiang Hao. However, he felt that the Sect Master did not really consider Jiang Hao a traitor.
“Master Sect may have other plans, but I'm not sure if Jiang Hao is entirely innocent,” Baizhi murmured. He's the one who handed me the list. “We need to delay the matter of that traitor for a while. I need to investigate Azure Mountain to find out who the mastermind is.”
In the afternoon, Jiang Hao hid the spirit beast.
He went to the Spirit Potion Garden and told the people there to tell anyone who came looking for the spirit beast to find it so that they could get it back.
Jiang Hao wondered if he could lure another spy this way. As for the spirit beast, he needed to wait for seven days to decide what to do with it.
He had brought the spirit beast into the forest behind his house. He put that collar around her neck.
At this moment, the spirit beast had awakened and struggled to break free from its collar. He didn't seem to like the collar very much.
Jiang Hao looked at his helpless struggle for a while. He finally threw the spirit stone there. The beast sniffed the stone and ate it.
'Now, I just need to set his range.' That's another function of that collar. It could be used to mark certain areas that spirit beasts could not explore. The money to buy the necklace was worth it.
Jiang Hao was not good at setting up trap formations to prevent spirit beasts from escaping. The collar did the work for him.
Just as he was about to mark the area, someone spoke from behind. His voice was calm but did not contain any emotions. He knows that voice.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Hao turned around. He was there again, dressed in red.. That's her!
