Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning

Chapter 285: Accepting the Inherintance

At Jiang Hao’s residence, Senior Sister Leng Tian took a seat in the hall and said, “There’s another stone talisman. Would Junior Brother like to take a look?”

“Sure,” Jiang Hao nodded.

He was somewhat expectant since each stone talisman represented a different inheritance, often not ordinary ones and hard to come by in the market, commanding high prices.

Talismans like the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman and the Heavenly Secret Concealment Talisman were never seen for sale at the Tianyin Sect’s stall.

He also didn’t dare to sell them.

The Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman was down to one piece, and he was currently unable to produce more.

The Heavenly Secret Concealment Talisman was less commonly used due to its significant side effects, but it could be quite valuable to the right person.

However, it was generally not as sought after as the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.

Now, he had a life-saving magical treasure from his master, which should allow him to move distances far surpassing the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, effectively giving him two escape tools.

Upon receiving the box, Jiang Hao saw the familiar stone tablet. It seemed flawless at first glance.

From its patterns, he could discern some intricacies.

It bore some resemblance to the Heavenly Secret Concealment Talisman, but his expertise was too shallow to make a definitive judgment.

【Qi Breath Concealment Talisman Inheritance: Dip a brush in water at midnight when the mind is clear, and begin to trace the upper half of the talisman to receive the inheritance and comprehend the Qi Breath Concealment Talisman. This item is a treasure obtained by Leng Tian and her Senior Brother and Sister after surviving life-and-death situations.】

Jiang Hao: “...”

Again, a treasured possession obtained by Leng Tian and her Senior Brothers and Sisters after surviving life-and-death situations.

Do they really have such great luck?

Surviving life-and-death situations three times in a row without any mishaps seems improbable.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao considered a possibility.

Perhaps Senior Sister Leng Tian and her peers did indeed obtain treasures through life-and-death experiences, but not just one; they found a trove and have been selling them off bit by bit.

Or, there might have been a seal on the treasures, allowing them to extract and sell items gradually.

This seemed highly plausible; otherwise, how could they repeatedly survive such dangers?

If they were able to avoid risks, it wouldn’t be considered a life-and-death situation.

So, they probably still had many such talisman inheritances.

However, Jiang Hao didn’t really need the Qi Breath Concealment Talisman Inheritance.

With the nameless secret manual, such items were merely supplementary.

Of course, he still wanted to buy it, as the nameless secret manual was only applicable to himself, and he was curious about the extent to which this person could conceal their presence.

“How does Junior Brother feel about it?” Senior Sister Leng Tian asked.

“How much are you thinking of selling it for, Senior Sister?”

Jiang Hao asked directly.

Based on the previous performance of the talismans, this inheritance is still invaluable.

Therefore, he could accept anything within his capacity to endure.

“Is it possible to add a little more on top of the previous basis?” Leng Tian asked thoughtfully.

“How much does Senior Sister plan to add?” Jiang Hao did not agree immediately.

Sometimes, it’s not good to appear too generous.

“Three thousand five hundred?” Leng Tian Fairy tentatively asked.

Jiang Hao lowered his head, pretending to ponder, then nodded and said:

“Can part of it be paid with talismans? Of course, it would still be below market price.”

“Deal.”

Leng Tian Fairy quickly agreed as if she was afraid Jiang Hao would refuse.

She knew the stone tablet was valuable, but for their current strength, three thousand five hundred was already a high price.

The spirit stones they could obtain safely were what they needed.

Other channels, even if more lucrative, would come with some risks.

Thus, they only wanted to deal with Jiang Hao for the time being.

After all, Jiang Hao had a talent for making talismans, and with spirit stones, he might be able to comprehend something new.

It was a win-win situation.

After paying three thousand spirit stones and some talismans,

Leng Tian bid farewell to Jiang Hao.

She would never inquire about the talisman stone tablet.

As she left, she passed by the peach tree and saw a rabbit standing on a branch, arms folded, staring at her.

“...”

This rabbit was somewhat strange.

But she had seen it a few times before, so she wasn’t too surprised.

She just left quickly.

Jiang Hao came out to send Senior Sister Leng Tian off, and when he returned, he heard the rabbit ask.

“Master, this female has come here many times, is she the most likely to become the mistress?”

“The least likely, I’d say.” Jiang Hao replied.

Compared to Senior Sister Ming Yi, Senior Sister Leng Tian was indeed an impossibility.

After all, Senior Sister Ming Yi might be willing to sacrifice herself for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Of course, such sacrifice would be futile.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt a sense of melancholy.

“Master, why not take them all? I wouldn’t mind having more mistresses,” the rabbit said seriously, jumping onto the table.

Jiang Hao glanced at the rabbit and chuckled.

After waiting a while, he left the courtyard to head to the Lawless Tower.

Now, he was going to learn about the internal situation of the Corpse Realm.

Along the way, he would also learn the Qi Breath Concealment Talisman Inheritance.

Before leaving, he gave the Wind Feather to the rabbit.

It excitedly wore it on its collar and started showing off.

“Master, do I look like a great demon with this feather?”

“...”

Afterward, Jiang Hao, besides understanding the Corpse Realm, began to receive the inheritance.

The inheritance went smoothly, but making the talismans was a bit troublesome.

It took materials worth eight hundred spirit stones to make one.

This talisman was similar to the Heavenly Secret Concealment Talisman, also having levels.

The difference was that one was at the end, and the other was midway.

It was for this reason that it took him half a month to comprehend.

【Qi Breath Concealment Talisman Inheritance: Inferior quality. Can conceal one’s own breath and hide cultivation level. If the power used exceeds the concealment range, the talisman’s effect will break immediately. Valid for one month after use, a strand of spiritual energy or blood can activate it directly.】

“It doesn’t say how much it can conceal.”

Later, Jiang Hao tested it on the rabbit, and it indeed could conceal breath and cultivation level.

Currently, his mastery of the nameless secret manual could still discern it, but it was somewhat blurred.

It seemed that the finished talisman’s effect would surpass his mastery of the nameless secret manual.

This talisman was truly remarkable.

For a Nascent Soul, the rabbit standing in front of them might not be sensed at all; they could only see it.

Plus, with its Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea ability, it would be even harder to detect.

With that in mind, Jiang Hao looked at the rabbit and said softly:

“Where’s the Wind Feather?”

“What does Master want to do?” the rabbit asked curiously, taking off the Wind Feather.

Taking the item, Jiang Hao smiled and said:

“I’ll exchange it for something else tomorrow.”

The rabbit looked puzzled: “???”

Jiang Hao didn’t bother to explain, with the Qi Breath Concealment Talisman, the rabbit had enough for his needs.

He could sell this to get some spirit stones back.

Recently, he had spent a lot, leaving only nine hundred spirit stones.

And that was without giving the peach tree its nirvana.

Unknowingly, he had spent it all.

Thinking about it, the cost of the Qi Breath Concealment Talisman was even higher than that of the Wind Feather.

......

Hundred Bones Forest.

Bai Ye lay on the bed, having recovered somewhat.

When there were no other people around, he spoke to Lian Qin:

“Junior Sister, take me to Duanqing Cliff, I need to confirm something.”

“No,” Fairy Lian Qin shook her head.

“Master has instructed that Senior Brother must not go out for the time being. The people from the Hall of Enforcement are already investigating; it’s too dangerous to leave now.”

Bai Ye fell silent for a moment before continuing, “Junior Sister, please sneak me out.”

“Senior Brother, aren’t you putting me in a difficult position? You’re too weak right now,” Fairy Lian Qin shook her head.

“I must go. I need to understand why, why there are such powerful beings targeting me,” Bai Ye said.

“But why must it be Duanqing Cliff?”

“It’s just a hunch. Perhaps if I go there, I can be certain. This is a matter of life and death for me.”

Fairy Lian Qin was somewhat conflicted, “Wait another month or so? Senior Brother’s injuries are too severe.”

After some silence, Bai Ye nodded, “Okay.”
