Chapter 247: Caught by the Female Demon Watching Charm Manuals Again

Candlelight Alchemy Court. free𝑤ebnovel.com

In the alchemy room near the earth fire, Lian Daozhi walked out with some helplessness.

He had failed again.

He was attempting to become a Nascent Soul pill refiner, which proved to be more difficult than he had anticipated.

However, he had absolute confidence that success was just a matter of time.

Moreover, he had already found the pill that he was good at making; he just lacked the final spiritual medicine.

It wasn’t that it was extremely precious, just somewhat rare.

At this time, a Foundation Establishment disciple who had been waiting for a long time approached him nervously and said,

“Senior Brother, the Bitter Fruit has been, has been intercepted.”

The Bitter Fruit, with its bitter taste, could balance other scents and appropriately regulate spiritual energy.

There were many spiritual medicines for regulating spiritual energy, but among those with lesser effects, only the Bitter Fruit was used.

“Intercepted?” Lian Daozhi’s expression turned cold.

“You went with five late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples and two at the peak of Foundation Establishment. You couldn’t protect a mere Bitter Fruit?”

The Bitter Fruit was of low value and had a minor effect.

Lian Daozhi wouldn’t have used this fruit if he wasn’t making a more obscure spiritual medicine.

Why else would he go through such trouble if not for the need for fresh fruit?

“The enemy that suddenly appeared was too cunning,” the Foundation Establishment disciple explained with his head lowered.

“All of us together were played by it.”

“Not far from here, Tianqing Mountain wouldn’t dare to come over, so does that mean it was someone from within our sect?” Lian Daozhi asked.

Now was not the time for blame; he needed to get the fruit.

It would all be useful within ten days.

“The one who acted was a rabbit, with the cultivation of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but its movements were unpredictable. We couldn’t find it, and even when we did, we couldn’t keep up with its speed,” the Foundation Establishment disciple carefully chose his words and continued.

“However, we saw it wearing a collar, so it must belong to some Senior Brother or Senior Sister from a certain lineage.”

“A rabbit? Late-stage Foundation Establishment? Wearing a collar?”

Lian Daozhi stared at the Junior Brother in front of him and asked: “Did it call itself Lord Rabbit?”

“Yes,” the Foundation Establishment disciple quickly nodded.

“It said that friends on the road should give it face and call it Lord Rabbit.”

Lian Daozhi sighed inwardly and said calmly: “Tell me the process, and don’t exaggerate.”

He then learned the whole process. Their people had sealed off the area waiting for the Bitter Fruit to mature, but somehow the rabbit had entered the sealed area and picked the fruit in front of everyone.

Several of them chased after it, only to be led around in circles.

In the end, it left triumphantly.

“You are really useless,” Lian Daozhi said coldly.

The Foundation Establishment disciple bowed his head and dared not speak.

Regarding the rabbit, Lian Daozhi naturally thought of Duanqing Cliff’s Jiang Hao. But it was not easy to deal with.

If it were an ordinary disciple, he could simply intimidate or tempt them.

Foundation Establishment meant nothing in front of him. But Jiang Hao was different, not to mention their cooperative relationship, but mainly because of his great achievements.

The major achievements from a few years ago, plus the recent Corpse Realm Flower achievements.

If he were to act and be discovered, Duanqing Cliff would definitely do something.

After all, these achievements had brought many benefits to Duanqing Cliff.

If the person who made the achievements was bullied by him, a Golden Core at full completion, where would Duanqing Cliff’s face be?

Bullying by someone of the same rank was not a big issue.

That was one thing.

The second was the Hall of Merits.

Such someone with great achievements, being oppressed by someone “nameless” like himself, would they, the Hall of Merits, not exist?

It is not that the Hall of Merits wasn’t kind-hearted, but because they could take the opportunity to snatch spirit stones.

Even when the Hall of Enforcement arrested people, the Hall of Merits dared to demand spirit stones.

“It seems I need to make a trip.”

......

The next day.

Jiang Hao appraised the Corpse Heart.

【Corpse Heart: Zhuang Yuzhen’s Corpse Heart, absorbing the aura of divine objects can sublimate it to the extreme, allowing Zhuang Yuzhen to be reborn. It is best to absorb the aura of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, to obtain a trace of special aura, possessing more possibilities. Now sealed by Universe in the Palm, it cannot resonate with divine objects.】

“It seems there is no problem.”

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he just needed to continue the seal, adding a layer every day.

After sealing the Corpse Heart, he began to seal the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

Having done all this, he looked around left and right.

After making sure no one was around, he took out the charm technique manual, intending to review its contents.

At this moment, he was sitting under a peach tree, enjoying the cool summer breeze and flipping through the book.

After a short while, he suddenly heard a light laughter coming from ahead.

“It seems you’re quite interested in charm techniques.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao instinctively closed the book and looked up.

At first, he saw nothing in front of him, but then a red figure slowly materialized.

She appeared and sat down on a wooden chair, looking at Jiang Hao.

It was the first time Jiang Hao had witnessed Hong Yuye’s appearance process.

“Greetings, senior,” he said respectfully as he stood up.

“What’s your cultivation level?” Hong Yuye asked casually as she picked up the book from the table.

“Late Foundation Establishment,” Jiang Hao replied, looking down.

“How old are you?” she continued.

“Twenty-four,” he answered.

“Twenty-four and only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment? That’s a bit slow,” Hong Yuye commented nonchalantly as she flipped through the book.

“I’m of limited talent,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye glanced at the man before her and chuckled, “Give you a pole and you really will climb it.”

Jiang Hao remained silent, head bowed.

“How’s your undercover work going?” Hong Yuye’s gaze stayed on the book.

“I’ve established a foothold in the gathering, and next time I should be able to find out why the Great Thousand Divine Sect has sent people to Youyun Prefecture. The ones who came to snatch the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower before could also be a breakthrough,” Jiang Hao said earnestly.

This was the most progress he had made in two years, although he was still far from the mastermind behind the stone tablet.

But at least he had taken a step forward.

At this point, Hong Yuye stopped flipping through the book and looked up at Jiang Hao.

It seemed she wasn’t used to this.

Was he not lying or giving perfunctory answers this time?

“Have you discovered anything else?” she asked.

“In the gathering, the identity and status of ‘Xing’ must be high, and it’s very likely that he’s from the Mingyue Sect. He has access to the Haotian Sect’s secret technique of freedom, and he naturally possesses the Mingyue Sect’s secret technique of myriad things,” Jiang Hao replied.

Having an external incarnation was indeed enviable, but he had no intention of cultivating it at the moment.

Having a clone to do things would be very convenient and much safer.

Like Qu Zhong, although he lost two incarnations and the Corpse Heart, his original body got away unscathed.

It was impossible to find him.

He had planned his retreat from the start, a decisive person indeed.

“It seems all your thoughts are on this,” Hong Yuye said, her voice neutral as she stared at the man before her.

“I spare no effort in serving senior,” Jiang Hao said against his will.

In fact, it was time to act, and he had no choice.

He had always been worried that Gui would discover his inability, so he delayed as long as possible.

Hong Yuye smiled faintly and lowered her head to continue reading the book.

“Make some tea.”

Since Hong Yuye hadn’t visited for a long time, there was still plenty of tea left.

He didn’t need to spend spirit stones to replenish it.

“Tell me about your experience at the gathering,” Hong Yuye said indifferently.

After making the tea, Jiang Hao sat down and poured himself a cup as well.

Then he began to talk about the gathering.

He didn’t hide much, as it didn’t involve his own secrets.

After discussing the situation with Liu, Hong Yuye shook her head and said.

“The ‘Myriad Beings Form’ and the ‘Autonomous Body’ are both just superficial methods.”

“Is there another method?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“The method is still the Mingyue Sect’s technique, but it’s not about re-cultivating. Instead, it’s using another secret technique.”

“What secret technique are you referring to, senior?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“The Stellar Transformation,” Hong Yuye said.
