Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness-Chapter 824 - : The Person Backing Jiang Hao

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qi was brewing the herbs in a pot, while Miao Tinglian sat by his side and instructed him what to add.

The two occasionally talked about the spirit herbs and their benefits.

They didn’t rush. They simply sat beside each other to try and make things better.

“This spirit herb is something I discovered while reading ancient texts. I think it might be useful,” Miao Tinglian said with a smile. “Yeah. That might be useful,” said Mu Qi.

As time passed, it drizzled lightly.

“It’s raining,” Miao Tinglian said as she looked outside.

“Yes. It’s raining.” Mu Qi also glanced outside. Before long, the rain pattered on the roof heavily.

Water flowed down from the roof. “It’s pouring now,” Miao Tinglian said.

“Yeah.” Mu Qi nodded.

They stared outside quietly and listened to the sound of the rain.

It felt peaceful.

After a while, the spirit herbs finally finished brewing. Mu Qi carefully poured it into a bowl and placed it in front of Miao Tinglian.

She leaned in to smell it. “It’s a bit bitter.”

She took a sip. “It’s sweet once it goes down.”

“Sweet?” Mu Qi was in disbelief. “That shouldn’t be the case.” “It is…” Miao Tinglian smiled. “You brewed it after all.” Mu Qi fell silent. He let her drink the medicine.

Soon, she finished everything.

They wanted to see if it would work.

After some time, Miao Tinglian felt her condition a bit.

It seemed like her aura calmed.

Mu Qi also noticed it because he had spent a considerable amount of spirit stones to buy a magical tool to check the state of her aura.

Her aura seemed much more stable.

“Did it really work?” He was surprised. “It seems to…” Miao Tinglian was also surprised.

‘How was this possible?’

Even if there were spirit herbs mentioned in the ancient texts, she had chosen one at random. How had it worked?

But the result was right in front of them.

“Let’s try again tomorrow. I’ll go to the Candlelight Pill Pavilion to see that senior, and then I’ll go to the Spirit Herb Garden to collect more herbs. I’ll come back and brew it for you,” Mu Qi said.

He sounded a bit more hopeful than before.

“Okay.” Miao Tinglian nodded.

The next day, Mu Qi left early in the morning.

Miao Tinglian stayed at home. She checked her condition and found that it had indeed improved.

But her situation was still grave.

If the spirit herbs worked, it would be much better.

At dusk, Mu Qi returned.

He brought back the spirit herbs.

There was still no information from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.

He brewed the medicine and had Miao Tinglian drink it.

However, unlike yesterday, there was no change after Miao Tinglian drank the medicinal brew.

The spirit herbs were ineffective.

But why?

“Maybe it only works the first time? Maybe my body has developed tolerance to it?” Miao Tinglian said.

Mu Qi thought that that was unlikely.

The effect of the herbs had been so significant the first time. Now, there was no change.

After some thought, he asked, “Did you gather the herbs yourself before?”

“No…” Miao Tinglian shook her head. “I asked Junior Brother Jiang to pack them for me…

She suddenly realized something. “Is it possible that he…”

“Hush!” Mu Qi pressed his finger on Miao Tinglian’s lips. “Don’t say it out loud.

I’ll ask Junior Brother Jiang for help in gathering some spirit herbs tomorrow.

Let’s see if it works.”

Miao Tinglian nodded.

Another day passed.

Mu Qi returned in the afternoon.

He had asked Jiang Hao for help in gathering the spirit herbs.

They brewed the herbs just like yesterday.

After it was done, Miao Tinglian drank it.

They waited.

Like yesterday, the medicinal brew made Miao Tinglian feel better.

She looked at Mu Qi in disbelief.

“Some people have powerful individuals at their back. Don’t make wild claims,” Mu Qi said in warning.

Miao Tinglian nodded.

Jiang Hao had seemed extraordinary for a long time.

People who offended him usually met with a bad end. Mu Qi guessed that someone else might be helping him.

Jiang Hao’s rapid progress in cultivation also implied that he did have the backing of someone powerful.

Who this person was, Mu Qi’s master probably didn’t know, and the sect was investigating.

That was why Jiang Hao’s name was always on the suspect list of the Law Enforcement Hall.

It seemed Jiang Hao might have sought support from the unknown power to help Miao Tinglian.

Although it was just a simple suppression for a while, it was still remarkable.

They hadn’t asked for help. Yet, Jiang Hao had offered it all the same.

It was best to pretend to not know anything and let things be.

Being deliberately oblivious would work in both their favor.

As for how Jiang Hao did it, they had no way of knowing.

Jiang Hao didn’t know if he would be discovered. He thought Senior Brother Mu Qi would guess it was him, at most.

He could just explain that the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower had some benefits.

There was nothing to be concerned about.

At that moment, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower already had some buds on it.

If he didn’t help Senior Sister Miao suppress her condition, the consequences would be dire.

He was reading when the spirit beast suddenly jumped up.

“Master, there’s someone outside.”

Jiang Hao put down the book and walked outside.

It turned out to be Hai Ming.

“Senior Brother Hai Ming…” He greeted him with a bow.

Hai Ming was still in the Return to Void Realm.

The first time he had met him, Jiang Hao had felt like he was a threat.

There was a significant difference in their cultivation realms.

Now, the other party was still in the Return to Void Realm, while he had already reached the Immortal Ascension Platform.

This person was no threat to him anymore.

Killing him in the sect would lead to trouble. There was no need for unnecessary trouble.

If he kept him alive, he could get more information on Feng Hua.

Someday, this person would reveal everything anyway. “Young friend, how have you been lately?” Hai Ming asked.

“I’m okay,” Jiang Hao said with a nod.

“This is for you, young friend.” Hai Ming handed him a piece of paper.

“What is this?”

“Perhaps a surprise?”

Hai Ming left with a smile.

Jiang Hao watched him as he left and frowned.

Hai Ming seemed to be enjoying himself.

He opened the note and read it. There was only one line on it.

“I have an avatar that has entered the Heavenly Note Sect. Guess what would happen if it kills someone? Will the Heavenly Note Sect be able to find my main body?”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

This was a threat.

Indeed, Feng Hua was dangerous.

He needed to find her and convince her to let go of her grudge against him.

He also needed her to reveal the information about the stone tablet.

He also wanted to ask her why she was so focused on the Heavenly Note Sect. He felt that there was some secret hidden here that no one knew about.

Hong Yuye wanted to know about the mastermind behind the stone tablets. Jiang Hao didn’t know who it was and why she wanted to find them.

After a few days, Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrate.

He knew that he would finally get some information on the Heavenly Saint Sect.

He hoped the information would explain the issue of the Holy Master.

His next step would depend on that. If the Holy Master was too strong, he would let Liu Xingchen handle it..
