Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 81 - Bullying the Honest Person

It was also an important spiritual medicine for a technique of the Hundred Bones Forest.

Because there wasn’t enough space in the spiritual field, they would ask other spiritual fields to plant it.

This happened every year without issues, but this time something was amiss.

After an inspection, he understood that indeed, the flower was causing the problem.

“Appraisal.”

Jiang Hao silently activated his divine ability.

【Mutated Bone Flower: The mutated Bone Flower has lost all the characteristics of a Bone Flower, leaving only its ruthless absorption of surrounding nutrients. It is the work of Bai Ye, designed to trouble the caretakers of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, to profit from it, and incidentally gather nutrients.】

Bai Ye?

To trouble the caretakers of the Spiritual Medicine Garden for profit?

Reading this, Jiang Hao felt somewhat helpless.

Even hiding here, he couldn’t escape these things.

However, he had never heard of Bai Ye.

The disciple of the Hundred Bones Forest who handed over duties to him was not called Bai Ye.

“How many more Bone Flowers are there?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There are five more spiritual fields, with about five hundred plants in total,” Cheng Chou quickly replied.

Bone flowers aren’t valuable, but five hundred of them are still worth a considerable number of spirit stones.

“Go inform the people of the Hundred Bones Forest to come here and tell them there’s a problem with the bone flowers,” Jiang Hao tried to resolve the issue normally.

“Yes,” Cheng Chou dared not hesitate.

After Cheng Chou left, Jiang Hao went to the market.

He sold twelve of his Hundred Thousand Swords Talismans and obtained three hundred spirit stones.

The effects of the attack on Tianqing Mountain had passed, and many prices had returned to normal. In fact, due to the excessive consumption before, prices were falling.

Now, Jiang Hao had six hundred spirit stones and wondered if that would be enough to deal with the bone flower issue.

He visited the Spiritual Medicine Garden again, and not seeing Cheng Chou return, he went back to his residence.

It was fine for people to come to him if there was an issue.

Especially to inform Cheng Chou.

However, by the next day, Jiang Hao still hadn’t seen Cheng Chou.

He spent the whole night sharpening his saber.

After watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“Senior Brother Jiang...” Cheng Chou said with a low brow and some guilt.

“I went to find the people from the Hundred Bones Forest yesterday. They said they were too busy and that even if it was a major issue, it would have to wait five more days.”

Jiang Hao lowered his eyelids, knowing that the other party was deliberately stalling.

“By the way, when I went yesterday, I found that other Spiritual Medicine Gardens were also having similar issues,” Cheng Chou reminded.

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

Weren’t they afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves?

But then he thought that he hadn’t planned to inform his Master either, as accountability would be a troublesome matter.

It might be better to press down on the issue for now and see if a solution could be found.

The spiritual field wasn’t beyond repair; it just required some cost.

‘It seems the Hundred Bones Forest is only so fearless because they see the guardians of the Spiritual Medicine Garden as weak,’ Jiang Hao mused silently, then instructed Cheng Chou.

“First, transplant the bone flowers out and keep them away from the spiritual field.”

“Okay, okay,” Cheng Chou immediately nodded.

Whatever Jiang Hao said, he had to do.

He also bore some responsibility for this negligence.

Since they had to wait five days, Jiang Hao wasn’t in a hurry and decided to wait patiently.

However, five days passed, and the other party still hadn’t come.

“They said they are still busy and need to wait another five days,” Cheng Chou said with his head down.

“The other Spiritual Medicine Gardens?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“They seem very anxious, and they haven’t transplanted the bone flowers out,” Cheng Chou thought for a moment and said.

“They’re probably worried that there will be problems with the bone flowers and needing... needing compensation.”

By now, the bone flowers they had transplanted were almost withered.

This was their responsibility, and disputes were bound to follow.

But this was Jiang Hao’s order, and he could only obey.

Whether it was good or bad, he couldn’t tell.

They didn’t transplant theirs out, probably thinking there was still room for negotiation... Jiang Hao felt that the more honest you were in the Demon Sect, the easier it was to be bullied.

Well, those people were also bullies who feared the tough.

Baiyue Lake also had spiritual medicine fields; would the Hundred Bones Forest dare to plant mutant bone flowers there?

They wouldn’t dare even if they had a hundred times the courage.

Senior Sister Zhou Chan, who often guarded the gate, had top-notch talent.

In other places, she would be a true disciple.

It was only someone like himself, with above-average talent but not highly valued, who was easy to bully.

“Then let’s just keep waiting,” Jiang Hao said.

The bone flowers had already been transplanted out; there was nothing to wait for.

It was just a matter of them withering quickly.

After another five days, they probably wouldn’t delay any longer.

Continuing to delay would exceed the guardians’ limits, and they wouldn’t compromise.

By then, it wouldn’t be something that could be resolved privately.

It wouldn’t be good for anyone.

Naturally, Jiang Hao was prepared to compensate, as there was no need to worry about whether the flowers withered.

Ordinarily, normal bone flowers wouldn’t wither so easily; these mutant bone flowers were withering because they lacked nutrients to absorb.

He had also observed and hadn’t found a way to extract nutrients.

Jiang Hao’s calmness reassured Cheng Chou a lot.

The other Spiritual Medicine Gardens were already panicking, but their side was acting as if nothing was wrong.

Jiang Hao let the rabbit continue to observe the Spiritual Medicine Gardens while he started to take care of his own affairs.

After finishing, he didn’t idle around but made a round to ensure there were no other problems.

Through this incident, he couldn’t help but lament that he had to guard not only against spies but also against some trouble-seeking fellow disciples.

Two days later, Jiang Hao planted the peach seeds next to the wooden table and surrounded them with ninety-nine spirit stones.

Only then did he start watering them.

“Nine more days to wait.”

In nine days, they could take root and sprout, and then bubbles would appear.

It was impossible for them to be purple-gold, and gold would also be difficult.

After all, they weren’t divine trees before the nine transformations of nirvana.

During these days, aside from selling some talismans, Jiang Hao spent most of his time comprehending the Heavenly Saber Seven Forms.

Not the third form, but the first and second.

He wanted to make these two forms exert even greater power. Of course, he also spent these days nurturing his saber.

Occasionally nurturing the Half-Moon, but more often the Primordial Heavenly Saber verses.

He still hadn’t found out about Bai Ye and didn’t dare let anyone investigate, as it could easily lead to trouble.

After all, he knew nothing about Bai Ye’s identity.

......

Three more days passed.

Jiang Hao finally encountered someone from the Hundred Bones Forest, a late Foundation Establishment Senior Brother.

He had a broad forehead and looked to be just over thirty years old. It was Li Kai who often interacted with him.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you’re not being very fair,” Li Kai said with a low, cold voice as the power of his late Foundation Establishment stage faintly spread around him.

“Why would you say that, Senior Brother Li?” Jiang Hao asked in response, not confronting the other’s aura.

They were in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and he didn’t want to start a fight or cause a big dispute.

“I was only a few days late, and you, in a fit of anger, cleared out our bone flowers?” Li Kai questioned.
