Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning

Chapter 274: This Person is Too Clumsy

“He’s already been removed from the list?” Fairy Leng was somewhat puzzled.

“When did this happen?”

“It should have been a year ago,” the other party replied hastily, not daring to hesitate.

“A year?”

Zhou Chan pondered for a moment and said, “So, it was before I came?”

The other party nodded awkwardly.

Fairy Leng didn’t care about these details and asked the key question, “So, does this mean Lin Zhi doesn’t need to leave the sect? Who did this?”

The other party hesitated, then honestly said, “It was the Cliff Master.”

This surprised everyone.

The Cliff Master of Duanqing Cliff personally intervened?

The three of them did not stay any longer.

“Senior Sister, did that Senior Brother just now recognize you?”

Zhou Chan asked with confusion after they left.

She remembered that since she had joined, Senior Sister rarely went out.

“I’m not sure,” Fairy Leng said indifferently. “But he felt my cultivation level.”

Zhou Chan nodded; she had also felt it before, and it was terrifying like the sky was falling.

“Does Lin Zhi have anything special about him?” Fairy Leng asked curiously.

“Stable cultivation?” Zhou Chan said.

“Has he encountered any strange events?” Fairy Leng asked again.

“Lord Rabbit? I remember he mentioned it, but he didn’t go into detail,” Zhao Qingxue said.

“Lord Rabbit?”

Zhou Chan thought for a long time before saying, “There’s only one rabbit spirit pet in Duanqing Cliff.”

“Whose powerful Senior Brother is it?” Zhao Qingxue asked excitedly.

“It belongs to Junior Brother Jiang Hao, the one who brought Lin Zhi into the sect,” Zhou Chan explained.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingxue’s excitement disappeared, and she felt somewhat disappointed.

She had thought it was a powerful Senior Brother who had taken notice, but it turned out to be just an ordinary inner sect Senior Brother.

“Since there’s no problem, then Junior Sister Zhao, you should focus on cultivating from now on. Your cultivation is improving rapidly, but your foundation is not stable. To do anything, you need sufficient cultivation. Top talents are not so rare in the sect; how far one can go still depends on their own efforts. Some with top talents become true disciples, while others with the same talents end up ordinary. Junior Sister should recognize this early on.”

Fairy Leng said indifferently to the two of them, “Let’s go back.”

Zhou Chan bid farewell to Senior Sister Leng and took Zhao Qingxue back.

Fairy Leng then headed towards the interior of Duanqing Cliff to attend to her own matters.

......

“Do the two seniors need anything?”

In the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao asked the people from Corpse God Sect respectfully.

“You jest, friend. We should still address each other as fellow daoist,” Gu Cheng replied with a wry smile.

He had thought carefully for a long time; Junior Sister Fang Jin hadn’t offended anyone else except for the unremarkable-looking disciple before him.

The night she proposed to nourish the Corpse Realm Flower with blood, Junior Sister Fang Jin was brutally murdered.

It was impossible to say it had nothing to do with this person.

Of course, it’s not likely that the person in front of him did it himself; it’s more probable that someone took action on his behalf.

No matter how much he looked down on him, he couldn’t show it.

This was also something Elder Han Yu had instructed.

Although they didn’t know what had happened, after Elder Han Yu was taken away by the Deputy Sect Master of Tianyin Sect, his attitude changed.

No matter how dissatisfied or disdainful they were, they had to hide it.

“Let’s just keep it this way; I’m also used to it,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

These people’s sense of superiority couldn’t be wiped away, and he didn’t want to cause more trouble.

If he had insisted on calling them senior last time, things might have been much better.

As a Nascent Soul, not many people are willing to address a Foundation Establishment as a fellow daoist.

Especially if they are not from the same sect, it’s easy to invite unnecessary trouble.

Particularly from a sect that is called a great sect by the Records of Mountains and Seas.

What is a great sect?

Jiang Hao had carefully read that book; sects above great sects are called immortal sects. For example, Haotian Sect, Mingyue Sect.

Tianyin Sect has only barely entered the ranks of first-class sects in the past few decades; it is a sect lacking in heritage.

So, how can we compare with the other party?

According to Liu Xingchen, the Mingyue Sect could take on the Xuantian Sect, Luoxia Sect, Fenglei Sect, Tianyin Sect, and so on together with just one hand.

And all these sects combined could probably only exchange a few blows with the Corpse God Sect.

It’s hard to be specific.

But if a disciple of the Tianyin Sect goes to the north, once their presence is known, it’s likely a one-way trip.

Therefore, it’s best to avoid conflict if possible.

Jiang Hao was in this situation, and Gu Cheng had no solution.

“This time, I’ve come to see Daoist Jiang about the Corpse Realm Flower.”

“Corpse Realm Flower? Is it for nourishment?”

Jiang Hao asked. This matter again?

Because it’s not just a simple matter of bloodletting; the Corpse Realm Flower can easily absorb one’s essence, energy, and spirit.

That’s absolutely unacceptable.

With a promotion imminent, any damage to one’s essence, energy, and spirit could easily lead to failure.

“No, no, no,” Gu Cheng hurriedly explained.

“The Corpse Realm Flower will bloom after a while, and Daoist Jiang may need to enter it. We’ve come to teach you some formations to cope with the situation inside. Other details will be provided later.”

“The Corpse Realm Flower is going to bloom? I need to go in?” Jiang Hao was somewhat astonished.

The former was feigned surprise, while the latter was genuine concern; such a dangerous place posed too great a risk.

“We are acting on orders,” a fairy by his side said softly.

She had been standing aside, with a cultivation level at the peak of Golden Core.

With delicate features and a well-proportioned figure, she was like the girl next door.

“Yes, we are simply following orders, and Daoist Jiang happened to be on the list, so we came to find you,” Gu Cheng explained.

Jiang Hao was puzzled but did not ask further.

He would have to inquire with his master about this matter.

Afterward, they arrived at the edge of a wooden hut in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“First, you need to become familiar with a grand formation called the Three Elements Formation. This formation is vast and boundless, difficult to decipher. It consists of the Heaven Element, the Earth Element, and the Human Element.”

“What we really need to learn is a part of the Human Element. I will first draw out the necessary formations and then explain them to you. I hope you can get a basic understanding today,” the fairy named Qing You explained while drawing the formation on the ground.

Jiang Hao did not ask questions but listened quietly.

Gradually, he began to understand.

This formation was part of the passage to the Corpse Realm Flower.

Mastering these formations would allow one to control their landing point.

Even in the face of danger, one could use the formation to protect oneself.

If one entered unprepared, they would be randomly sent somewhere.

If problems arose during the process, it was highly likely they would never return.

These were conclusions drawn by the Corpse God Sect at a great cost.

‘It seems I am qualified to enter a special realm, but why me?’

The people from the Corpse God Sect were either at the peak of Golden Core, in the Nascent Soul stage, or even at the Spirit Refining level.

What was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator doing there?

He did not rush to ask but instead tried to understand the formation.

Unfortunately, it was too obscure and difficult to comprehend.

During the teaching process, Qing You felt somewhat helpless.

This kind of talent was indeed quite ordinary, or rather, too ordinary.

Even if one’s talent for formations was poor, a high cultivation talent would bring a certain agility, making it easier to understand the basics of formations.

But this person in front of her was just too ordinary.

There was no such agility.

This indicated that his cultivation talent was not high either.

She didn’t understand why such a person was going to the Corpse Realm.

It wasn’t that she looked down on Foundation Establishment cultivators, but rather that he really wasn’t up to par.

With his talent, Golden Core might be the limit.

Going to the Corpse Realm was a waste of a spot.

Of course, teaching him was also exhausting.

It was like teaching a clumsy student.
