“Just a bit more cultivation needed.”

After pondering the time, he felt he could obtain the blue bubble the day after tomorrow.

These few days, he needed to see if advancing to the late-stage Nascent Soul would have any impact.

It was also good to take precautions in advance.

He had now saved up three thousand spirit stones, enough to cope with various changes.

Recently, probably frightened by the previous aura, talismans had sold quite well.

But such an amount of spirit stones was not enough for the peach tree’s nirvana.

And he wasn’t sure if it was just his perception, but he felt that the growth of the peach tree was slowing down.

He had appraised it, and there was no change for the time being.

It still needed to undergo nirvana six more times.

He could only appraise it again after it matured.

“Master, this bamboo is so tall.”

The rabbit, hanging from the bamboo with its ears, said to Jiang Hao.

Looking at the bamboo that had grown taller than the surrounding walls, Jiang Hao wondered whether to let it spread.

Normally, bamboo could spread, but Jiang Hao had prevented it, as it would easily cover the surrounding area.

Now with only one bamboo, it indeed wasn’t suitable.

After hesitating, he decided to keep it as is.

Let the bamboo grow well for a while, and once it became extraordinary, he would dig up a shoot and plant it outside, encircling the yard with two rows.

At this moment, bamboo shoots had already appeared under the bamboo.

“Dig it up and send it to Xiao Li, let her give it to the people in the canteen,” Jiang Hao told the rabbit.

The people in the canteen would naturally prepare it well for Xiao Li.

For years, the canteen had been handling things with spirit stones without any issues.

“How am I supposed to dig this?” the rabbit asked as it hopped down from the tree and squatted next to the bamboo shoot.

“Use your claws,” Jiang Hao replied indifferently.

With an “oh,” the rabbit began to dig at the bamboo shoot with its claws.

The rabbit, on the verge of completing its Foundation Establishment, could make its claws as sharp as it wanted.

Naturally, digging was a piece of cake for it.

However, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised that the rabbit was about to complete its Foundation Establishment.

Although its potential had been released for a while, there should have been a process to it.

Such rapid advancement was indeed a bit too quick.

“What cultivation level has Xiao Li reached?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Qi Refining, sixth level,” the rabbit answered.

“And Chu Chuan?”

“With Lord Rabbit’s guidance, he has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.”

“Did you give him the stuff?”

“I did. Friends on the road all know that Lord Rabbit is a rabbit who always delivers on his promises.”

The rabbit was good at handling matters, so Jiang Hao entrusted it with delivering subsequent items to Chu Chuan.

As for what the rabbit said, Jiang Hao always maintained a skeptical attitude and would take time to check in occasionally.

Only when he was certain there were no issues would he feel at ease.

However, Chu Chuan reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining in three years was indeed impressive. His progress showed he had superior talent. But with the Dao Discussion Conference of the Mingyue Sect approaching, it was uncertain whether he could advance to Foundation Establishment.

“How is Lin Zhi doing?” Jiang Hao inquired further.

“Lin Zhi’s cultivation level isn’t increasing much, but everything else is improving rapidly,” the rabbit said, twisting the collar around its neck.

“Friends on the road respect Lord Rabbit and have made a fair suggestion for Lin Zhi to learn footwork techniques next.”

“Footwork techniques?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“What do you plan to teach him?”

At that moment, the rabbit picked up the bamboo shoot it had dug up and said, “Just let him dodge; there’s no need to teach anything.”

Jiang Hao: “...”

After pondering for a moment, he didn’t offer any objections but simply inquired about the progress of Lin Zhi’s Star Moon Qi Refinement Technique.

It was still at the third stage. That was somewhat slow.

If he reached the ninth stage, he would soon be able to store the necessary star energy.

But there was no rush; slow and steady was best.

Lin Zhi didn’t need to make huge leaps; a solid and steady approach was preferable.

“By the way, Lin Zhi’s friends seem to be busy deciding whether he should stay,” the rabbit said, holding a bamboo shoot nearly its own size as it followed Jiang Hao.

They had left the yard and were heading towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“It doesn’t matter; let them figure it out,” Jiang Hao said nonchalantly.

“And, and...”

The rabbit stretched its neck and said, “Master, I feel this collar won’t last much longer. Is it time to prepare a new one for me?”

Jiang Hao chuckled.

No money.

A Golden Core level collar was expensive.

With the current rate of saving money, it was far from enough.

“Master, I’m going to find Xiao Li,” the rabbit said, holding the bamboo shoot and heading in a different direction in front of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Jiang Hao continued towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden and upon arrival, noticed two people from the Corpse God Sect waiting.

Seeing them look his way, he knew they were waiting for him.

He just didn’t know what he would encounter this time.

He hoped there wouldn’t be any trouble, as it would affect his plans to find Bai Ye.

......

Baiyue Lake.

Zhao Qingxue said with some difficulty, “Senior Sister, is there really no way left?”

“Isn’t there still half a year left?”

Zhou Chan said with a smile, “Maybe he can advance to the second level of Qi Refining by then.”

“But I feel that the changes in Lin Zhi’s spiritual energy are too slight,”

Zhao Qingxue pondered, “Half a year might not be enough.”

By this time, Zhao Qingxue had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and had grown quite a bit, standing tall and graceful, lively and beautiful.

She was completely different from the ordinary Lin Zhi.

“I went to ask before, and this time they’re not even taking spirit stones, saying that there will be arrangements naturally. There’s nothing they can do,” Zhou Chan said helplessly.

“Then I asked Elder Qian Xu, and she suggested giving Lin Zhi some spiritual medicine to help him advance to the second level. If even spiritual medicine doesn’t work, then there must be a problem with him. Whatever the problem is, it’s not something that can be solved with a simple price.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Qingxue felt somewhat disheartened.

“Why are you helping him so much, Junior Sister?”

At this moment, a fairy in white clothes approached, her cold and extraordinary temperament making her exceptionally beautiful.

“S-Senior Sister Leng,” Zhao Qingxue immediately greeted with her head bowed.

“Senior Sister, weren’t you in seclusion?” Zhou Chan asked with a smile.

“I came out to check on the Corpse God Sect’s matters.”

Senior Sister Leng said with a light laugh, especially gentle towards Zhou Chan.

Then she turned to Zhao Qingxue.

“Junior Sister, I’ve heard a bit about your involvement with that Lin Zhi. However, you two are not from the same world. The way you’re helping him, he might not be able to bear it. It could lead to endless troubles.”

“I just wanted to help him simply because I felt he was having too hard a time. It was like this in his childhood, and it’s the same now,” Zhao Qingxue said.

“Your way of helping is not right.”

Fairy Leng gently shook her head and said, “It’s best to help him secretly so as not to bring him trouble. But it’s normal for you to be like this since you’re still young. I happen to be going to Duanqing Cliff. I can ask for you on the way.”

“Senior Sister, let us go too,” Zhou Chan immediately said.

Senior Sister Leng glanced at her and finally nodded in agreement.

......

Soon they arrived at Duanqing Cliff.

The male disciple in charge said anxiously upon seeing them.

“Senior Sister, no, it’s not that I didn’t want to help, but in fact, Lin Zhi has already been removed from the list.”
