Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1212: I’m Going into Seclusion (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With the spirit beast around, it was easy to control Bing Qing.

After a while, she began to care about Xiao Li too.

That was good.

However, she was naïve. If he could use her this way, others might too.

That was troublesome.

However, she was not a child. She should know what was good and bad.

Jiang Hao still warned her not to fall into traps set by others.

Bing Qing looked at Jiang Hao with a puzzled face.

It was rare for such a person to reach such a high cultivation realm.

However, he could not say too much. She might not even understand most things he said.

Everyone’s growth came with a price. He just did not know what the price was for Bing Qing’s growth.

What would the cost be for the spirit beast and Xiao Li?

His capabilities are limited.

In the world of cultivation, there were always dangers abound. All one can do was try to avoid them and live well.

He had to face both the weak and the strong.

It was just that the strong had more choices than the weaker ones.

After sending Bing Qing off, Jiang Hao did not do anything else.

For the next six months, he would guide them quietly.

Time passed quickly.

The night sky was bright. Jiang Hao watched the stars.

In the past, he never used to stare at the stars in awe. He did not know when he would come back here.

He showed more kindness toward the people in the Spirit Herb Garden.

When lecturing, he tried to answer as many of their questions as possible.

Around September, a disciple came looking for him.

He said he wanted to ask about the Blood Wish Path.

Jiang Hao knew him. He was someone who had offered sacrificial blood before.

His progress was not very good.

After a while, Jiang Hao smiled and asked, “What do you think the Blood Wish Path is about?”

“Blood given voluntarily?” said the young man.

He was a young man at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He was also from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.

However, he was dressed plainly, which meant he did not have many spirit stones.

Jiang Hao remembered that he was not like that when he first saw him.

It seemed that he was stuck in the Blood Wish Path.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

“The blood that is voluntarily given is just a resource. It is not enough to follow the Blood Wish Path. For example, if blood is a spirit medicine. Then, the blood given voluntarily is like a unique spirit medicine. What then is divine medicine?” Jiang Hao looked at him.

The young man did not speak.

However, after a long time, he shook his head.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry. “There is no rush. Just take your time and think about it. The more you think, the more you learn.”

Jiang Hao did not say too much.

Whether he could understand it or not would depend on himself.

After all, sometimes one’s own understanding may not be correct.

Perhaps there was a better choice.

That was the path they had to walk themselves.

What and how they thought of something might shape their future.

Jiang Hao has been living a peaceful life during this time, and it was almost the end of November.

He was about to leave.

Fortunately, he had taught them everything he could. He had also prepared everything he needed.

He had left something behind in the courtyard of Senior Sister Miao.

The Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl had also been imbued with enough power.

He returned the dragon pearl to Xiao Li. “When do you plan to advance to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

“Huh?” Xiao Li was a little puzzled.

“If you don’t advance, you won’t have any more resources.” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li was even more confused.

Jiang Hao did not say much.

No matter what Xiao Li thought, it did not affect anything.

He just wanted her to have a choice.

The more choices she had, the less likely she was to be deceived.

Jiang Hao went to the cafeteria after giving some instructions to Xiao Li.

Feng Yang became nervous when he saw Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was already in the Primordial Spirit Realm. He was also a candidate for the seat of the top disciple.

He did not dare to show any disrespect.

“Xiao Li might continue to cause trouble for you in the future, Junior Brother. I hope you don’t mind.” Jiang Hao handed him five thousand spirit stones. “Please take these for now. If it’s not enough, I’ll make up for it later.”

“Senior Brother, there’s no need for this,” said Feng Yang immediately and gave the spirit stones back to him.

It was too much. He was a little worried about it.

Jiang Hao smiled. “It’s alright. Just accept it. I’ll have to rely on you from now on.”

Feng Yang did not dare refuse.

After that, Jiang Hao saw the problem with Feng Yang’s cultivation.

He advised him a little.

Then, he left.

Feng Yang was grateful.

Jiang Hao did not really care for words of gratitude. He just hoped Feng Yang would realize that Jiang Hao could be helpful if he did his job well.

That way, Xiao Li would not be much trouble to him.

Jiang Hao was worried that something might happen to Xiao Li if he was not in the sect for a long while.

Although Xiao Li was a True Disciple, she was like a little child.

Sometimes, she did not know when she was being targeted.

It was impossible for the spirit beast to always be by her side.

Therefore, he had to make sure that people knew there were benefits if they remained on his good side.

He even took some time to visit the valley where Bai Ye was.

He walked straight in.

At that moment, Bai Ye was sitting in his wheelchair and looking up at the sky.

He sensed something, and his eyes were filled with fear.

He did not do anything. He just stared at the sky.

Jiang Hao stood behind him without saying a word. He did not reveal his aura.

He knew that Bai Ye had sensed him.

“I was young and reckless back then,” Bai Ye said after a long time.

Senior Sister Lian Qin walked in from outside.

“What are you talking about, Senior Brother?” She looked at Bai Ye in confusion.

At that moment, Bai Ye noticed that the stars in the sky had become brighter.

He leaned against the wheelchair and chuckled.

“Perhaps I’ve already completely avoided this disaster. Unfortunately, this’ll accompany me for the rest of my life.”

Lian Qin was puzzled.
