Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1286: Demoness: You’re Going Overseas? (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao sat in the carriage.

He could clearly sense the changes in the Longevity Fruit, but he was in no rush to take it out.

The Longevity Fruit would evolve the path to immortality. If it succeeded, it would become a Longevity Dao Fruit.

Perhaps consuming it would grant him immortality in the truest sense.

But mere longevity did not mean much to him. Enhancing his cultivation realm and understanding of the Dao was what mattered most.

With sufficient strength and cultivation realm, immortality would naturally follow.

“I thought that the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would ask for his spirit stones back,” Zheng Shijiu said.

At that time, the Foundation Establishment Realm man looked displeased, and everyone felt that the other party was going to go back on his word.

Jiang Hao had gained enough benefits from watching them.

It was not something that spirit stones could compare to, especially since he had gained a trace of the Dao on his body.

If he continued, his Dao aura might take form.

With the path of the Dao appearing, his strength would skyrocket.

He might even be able to fight a middle-stage True Immortal as an early-stage True Immortal.

“But he seemed quite sensible. He offered so many spirit stones right at the beginning,” said Xin Yuyue.

This forest was indeed very dangerous.

“Now that we’re out, I wonder if someone from the sect will come to greet us,” Le You said curiously.

“Hard to say. Some will come to rob us, so theoretically, people from our sect are no better,” Zheng Shijiu said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

That was possible.

The stones at the edges were not very useful, but the core…

The Heavenly Note Sect had enough of a geographical advantage, so there was no reason for them to let it go.

However, it could lead to trouble later.

With the Great Era approaching, Elder Baizhi might not recklessly make enemies.

But this was not Jiang Hao’s concern anymore. He just needed to keep improving himself.

Everyone mentioned the matter of the caravan briefly.

They had met by chance and parted ways.

There was nothing special about it, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

For those people, the encounter might change their lives.

But for Jiang Hao, it just brought a bit of insight and a thousand spirit stones.

It did not change much.

At night, they rested on the side.

They were not that tired, but the spirit horses were exhausted. They needed to rest.

Using spells to light the night road and travel overnight would exhaust the horses and attract unwanted attention.

A light at night was noticeable.

Tonight, it was Jiang Hao’s turn to keep watch. He allowed the other three to rest.

Zheng Shijiu and the others agreed.

Jiang Hao sensed the surroundings and made sure that there was no one around. Then, he drew his sword and began to practice.

He had gained quite a bit of insight into the sixth form of the Heavenly Blade. He needed to absorb it completely and practice.

If he was lucky, he could easily master this move.

He practiced with his Half-Moon Blade. Although it had many cracks along its edge, it was still usable.

The sword rose and fell without any sound. The stars were faintly discernible.

Jiang Hao immersed himself in it.

He did not activate any abilities. He simply waved it and absorbed the technique.

He stayed alert to the surroundings.

There was no problem.

Only when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Jiang Hao felt the sword’s intent forming.

Only then did he stop and heave a sigh of relief.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sun had just risen.

He gently swung his sword. The sword’s intent completely disappeared.

He instinctively sniffed and caught a familiar fragrance.

“Do you always sniff to check your surroundings?” asked a voice from behind.

Jiang Hao sheathed his sword and turned around.

Her red and white dress fluttered around her.

Hong Yuye sat in front of a table. One of her hands propped up her cheek, and she smiled.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the air filled with a fragrance.

At that moment, Jiang Hao’s tranquil state of mind disappeared. He only saw her beautiful smile.

An enchantment…

Jiang Hao quickly regained his composure and bowed. “Senior, you must be joking. Your arrival always changes the whole atmosphere.”

“Does it affect your sense of smell too?” Hong Yuye sat upright.

Jiang Hao shook his head and did not speak.

Her fragrance was unique and familiar to him.

Even when he could not see her, he could identify her by scent.

Apart from Hong Yuye, he had never smelled it on anyone else.

It was like a floral scent yet different.

To him, it was a unique and familiar scent.

“Were you practicing the Heavenly Blade just now?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao walked to the tea table and poured her tea.

He also poured himself a cup.

The tea Hong Yuye had brought was not bad.

“Which move?”

“The sixth move?”

“You’ve already studied it?”

“Yes. I might be able to learn it completely, but it’s difficult.”

“Not bad for a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Senior.”

Without her help, he could not have done it.

She sipped her tea and chuckled.

Jiang Hao sat down and sipped the tea.

It felt a little bland, but he had never drunk it before.

It could sort out the lifeblood in the body.

It was quite impressive.

He looked across and hesitated for a moment. “The Great Era has arrived. Is it wise for you to go out like this, Senior?”

Typically, venturing out at this time meant forfeiting opportunities.

Hong Yuye lowered her gaze and smiled calmly.

Jiang Hao understood that she was always venturing out, so she might not get many opportunities.

Before the Great Era, just venturing out had an impact.

That was why no immortals were seen outside much.

No one wanted to fall behind.

A trip outside would put them behind others.

Needless to say, he was out all year round.
