Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning

Chapter 284: The Sealing Technique

Watching the long spear whistling towards him, Bai Ye struggled to stand up and began to defend.

He moved very quickly, and various defenses and treasures appeared once again.

In the blink of an eye, the spear collided with the defenses.

Bang!

A crisp sound rang out, the defenses shattered, and the treasures turned to dust on the spot.

The spear whistled past, piercing through Bai Ye’s body.

Boom!!

Agonizing pain struck, and the Purple Qi began to seriously injure Bai Ye.

Fairy Lian Qin cried out in alarm, and just as she was about to approach, the whistling sound came again.

Bang!

Another long spear pierced through Bai Ye with the speed of lightning.

Screams of agony filled the air.

Fairy Lian Qin’s face turned pale, a sense of horror overwhelming her.

She suddenly remembered the previous curse, relentless and debilitating.

It had only been three months; why would the assailant strike again?

Wasn’t he afraid of being discovered?

Fairy Lian Qin hurried to Bai Ye’s side, anxiously saying.

“Senior Brother!”

At this time, Bai Ye was gritting his teeth, enduring the pain.

He occasionally let out pained groans.

He lay on the ground, clutching Lian Qin’s hand tightly, his voice filled with excitement:

“I understand now, I get it.”

“Senior Brother, what are you talking about?” Fairy Lian Qin looked puzzled.

“It’s the ‘spirit sealing’ technique,” Bai Ye said, his pain mingled with a flash of realization:

“He wants to seal my cultivation and prevent me from making any progress to give me a taste of my own medicine.”

Spirit Sealing Technique?

Fairy Lian Qin felt a surge of fear.

If that was true, how terrifying must this person be?

To use such a method to seal someone’s spirit.

No, that’s not right.

Among their Spirit Sealing Techniques’s victims, there was no one with such power.

Nor should there be someone so formidable behind them.

She had done some investigation into their backgrounds.

“It’s definitely not a mistake.” Bai Ye murmured as he was about to faint.

“Let me go to Duanqing Cliff, to see... surely, some clues can be discerned.”

.......

By this time, Jiang Hao had already left the Hundred Bones Forest.

“The array has indeed been strengthened, but thankfully not by much, otherwise it would have been troublesome.”

“This is the second attack now. Next time, they might just wait for me to come again.”

“I need to be more careful and change the timing again.”

“Let’s make it a year later. Jumping from three months to a year should throw them off, and even if someone is waiting, they’ll grow impatient over time.”

Returning to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao was also concerned about Bai Ye changing locations.

It would be troublesome to find him then.

It’s a pity he didn’t know the art of divination; otherwise, he could try to calculate it.

But Jiang Hao didn’t insist on this.

It’s too greedy.

It’s like having a natural talent for arrays—if you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

No need to dwell on it.

As long as his cultivation improved quickly and he could earn spirit stones through talisman-making, that was enough.

“Master, the peaches are almost gone,” the rabbit said, pointing to the fruit on the tree as Jiang Hao returned.

At this point, there were only a few peaches left on the tree.

To have so many left in the twelfth month meant Xiao Li had been slow in stealing them.

But they didn’t dare to pick them all.

From the beginning, Jiang Hao had said that a few must be left.

After hesitating, he picked two:

“Take the rest down. I’ll send them to Xiao Li tomorrow.”

The rabbit responded and picked the remaining ones.

Most of the peaches from the tree had gone into Xiao Li’s stomach, with only a very small portion going to Cheng Chou and the rabbit.

Although Xiao Li loved to eat, she was also a good child.

She would share.

Cheng Chou and the rabbit were people she was more familiar with, so she would occasionally share one with them.

It was a little less, but only Cheng Chou and the rabbit made her want to share.

Others shouldn’t even think about it.

Sitting in the courtyard chair, Jiang Hao took out a book to read.

Next month, he would most likely enter the Corpse Realm.

There were some things that needed to be done as soon as possible.

Like the secret code given by “Xing”.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Hong Yuye to come and decide.

Now he had to use it without waiting.

The optimal time was passing, so he had to try.

But with a “Gui” in the Tianyin Sect, he was somewhat worried.

So far, he had not seen any suspicious disciples of the Corpse God Sect.

Mainly because the disciples of the Corpse God Sect were spread across the twelve branches, and apart from the commonly seen Gu Cheng and another, it was almost down to luck to see others.

But actively seeking them out was risky.

Unless there was a sufficient reason.

So it was still uncertain who the Gui was.

After hesitating, he decided to pass the secret code to the rabbit.

“Master, what’s this?” the rabbit asked, looking puzzled after learning it.

“A secret signal,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“When I go out sometime, find a place to write down the signal, and then, without being discovered, see who approaches the code. Remember, the premise is not to be discovered.”

He emphasized it again.

“Leave it to me. Friends on the road will give Lord Rabbit some face; they won’t discover me,” the rabbit declared confidently.

The rabbit had the talent of Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea, making it well-suited for such tasks.

It’s just that its cultivation was indeed too low.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao planned to provide some protection.

Soon, however, he realized he had nothing suitable for the rabbit.

“Never mind, I’ll buy something in the next few days.”

As for what to buy, he had no idea.

He would see when the time came.

......

The next day.

Leaving the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao began looking for something suitable for the rabbit at the sect’s market.

Arriving at the area for spiritual pets, he saw many items.

Defensive treasures, offensive treasures, life-saving treasures.

All of these were very expensive.

Jiang Hao arrived at a more affordable area, where techniques related to spiritual beasts were sold.

They were akin to magical treasures, crafted from parts of spiritual beasts to enhance other creatures.

After browsing, Jiang Hao picked up a feather of the Golden Core level.

“Junior Brother has a good eye. This was refined from the feather of a descendant of the great Peng bird. When used at full strength, it can reach the peak speed of the Golden Core level. It can last for half a day at full power or half a month if not fully exerted. It can be activated or deactivated at any time,” a middle-aged man at the initial stage of Golden Core explained with a smile.

“How much?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“The original price is 1,600, but seeing that Junior Brother’s cultivation is lacking and you might be tight on funds, I’ll let it go for 1,200,” the middle-aged man offered with a smile.

Jiang Hao: “...”

A one-time use item selling for 1,200?

My healing, defense, and speed talismans, even at the Golden Core level, are only worth a hundred or two hundred spirit stones each.

Jiang Hao set the item down and decided to look around some more.

After a while, he returned to the middle-aged man’s stall and began to haggle.

Eventually, he purchased the Wind Feather for 980 spirit stones.

It was a pristine white feather that could be concealed within the fur of a spiritual beast.

As Jiang Hao put away his purchase, he couldn’t help but lament the high cost of items for spiritual pets. Checking his spirit stones, he found he had only three thousands eight hundred left, which seemed insufficient.

With no other choice, he set up his own stall, planning to visit Zhuang Yuzhen at the Lawless Tower in the evening.

However, no sooner had he started than a familiar figure squatted in front of his stall:

“Junior Brother, I’ll take all your Healing Talismans and Hundred Thousand Divine Swords Talismans,” said Senior Sister Leng Tian, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“It’s been a while, Senior Sister,” Jiang Hao said as he handed over ten talismans and collected eight hundred fifty spirit stones, offering her a discount of fifty stones.

Senior Sister Leng Tian seemed to be getting wealthier.

After receiving the talismans, Senior Sister Leng Tian didn’t leave but smiled at Jiang Hao and said, “New goods.”

Jiang Hao: “...”

Another talisman inheritance?

For a moment, Jiang Hao was perplexed as to who was actually making a profit from whom.
