Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 17 - The Secret Manual Left by the Female Demon

“Then take this,” Hong Yuye said casually, placing a book on the table and reminding him.

“If the flower isn’t well taken care of, you know the consequences, right?”

“The junior understands,” Jiang Hao immediately nodded.

He glanced at the book on the table.

There was no name written on it, so it probably wasn’t any kind of cultivation manual or secret technique.

At this moment, Hong Yuye slowly stood up and walked outside.

When she reached the doorway, she turned back to look at Jiang Hao.

That look, slightly cold, was intimidating.

“Does senior have any further instructions?”

Jiang Hao steadied his nerves and asked with his head bowed.

Her gaze was too terrifying for him to look directly into.

It was as if a powerful force made one feel anxious and uneasy.

This was the might of a powerful cultivator. A single look could strip one of all fighting spirit.

“Regarding my affairs...”

As soon as Hong Yuye began to speak, Jiang Hao immediately said,

“The junior will never reveal anything about senior to anyone, even at the cost of my life.”

“You’d better remember your words,” Hong Yuye said, giving Jiang Hao a look before stepping away.

“I will come by from time to time to check on the flower’s growth. If anything happens to it, you will face my wrath,” her cold voice echoed in Jiang Hao’s ears.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that the other party had completely left, he finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

The gaze of the other person had scared him into a cold sweat just moments ago.

However, whenever he saw that person, his heart would start to race, and now that they had left, his heart was calm and still again.

It was an uncomfortable feeling.

“Did she leave anything behind?”

Jiang Hao walked over to the desk and picked up a blank cover book to browse through it.

The book had no summary; opening it revealed detailed introductions to spiritual energy, the mind, the body, and the practice of breathing and energy circulation.

It seemed to be casually written notes, with quite beautiful handwriting. Ignoring these details, Jiang Hao began to read carefully.

Soon, he discovered that the book contained records on how to control one’s breath and energy circulation, extend one’s mental reach, and master strength.

If he could learn this, he would be able to perfectly conceal his cultivation level.

He could even deduce the cultivation realm of others from the basics of breath and energy flow, strength manifestation, and mental extension.

Not only that, but mastering these aspects would certainly make cultivation much more efficient.

“This book is a top-tier technique, a real treasure. It seems this woman is dead set on getting the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower was given to him by Elder Bai Zhi.

Initially, he had thought about asking Elder Bai Zhi to transplant it back, but now he didn’t even dare to think about it.

As for the woman wanting the flower, he had no choice but to agree and could only hope that the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower would mature later rather than sooner.

He also hoped that Elder Bai Zhi wouldn’t ask for it back.

As for the traitors, they hadn’t made a move yet, and he couldn’t assess that situation.

After briefly learning the content of the book, he picked up the array diagram to examine it.

This was much easier, though initially, it would cost him about a hundred spirit stones.

Fortunately, he now had plenty of spirit stones and didn’t need to worry about the thousand spirit stone compensation.

With one more month to go, he had enough time to earn another hundred or so.

.......

After setting up the array, it was nearly noon.

Jiang Hao hurried to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The garden was as usual, not frequented by many people, and those who did come were mostly there to purchase some spiritual medicines, often the Duanqing Grass.

During this time, the inner disciples of Duanqing Cliff, knowing that he had provoked Tianhuan Pavilion, often avoided him as if they were afraid he would ask them for money.

Of course, that wasn’t the reason, as no one would lend him money anyway.

They were concerned that being too close to him might lead to a misunderstanding by the people of Tianhuan Pavilion, thinking they were in good terms.

This situation made Jiang Hao realize that Duanqing Cliff didn’t have the same prestige as Tianhuan Pavilion.

Only traitors would seek him out, but each had a plausible reason.

They, too, were afraid of being caught like fish.

“The big fish has taken the bait. I hope Elder Bai Zhi doesn’t rush to ask, otherwise...”

It was impossible to tell the truth, as the woman’s strength seemed to far exceed that of Elder Bai Zhi.

Or perhaps Elder Bai Zhi had not shown her full power.

Given his current strength, he couldn’t afford to provoke either side.

Putting these thoughts aside, Jiang Hao began to help out in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Today, the bubbles had fully integrated into his body.

【Spirit +1】

【Strength +1】

【Endurance +1】

【Dagger +1】

He had no cultivation or vital energy, but he didn’t mind because, after reading that book, he felt more sensitive to strength and spirit.

He could feel the slight improvements from obtaining these bubbles, which was a very nice sensation.

In the following days, he didn’t rush to sell talismans but instead studied the book. He had to fully understand and integrate the book’s content before he could travel freely.

Otherwise, if he encountered a strong person who knew how to assess comprehensively, his cultivation level would be exposed.

While studying, he activated the Clear Heart and Pure Mind technique, which accelerated his progress.
