Chapter 275: Sealing Technique

    Jiang Hao spent the whole day learning the formation.

    He could faintly sense the other party’s frustration.

    It seemed his talent was giving her a headache.

    He had already tried to ask fewer questions, but even then, she still felt there were too many questions and his understanding was too poor.

    Jiang Hao sighed inwardly; he had done his best.

    When it came to formations, his understanding was indeed too limited.

    This kind of knowledge was highly dependent on talent.

    Sometimes it required even more talent than alchemy.

    Alchemy, formations, forging, talisman making.

    All were special professions, among which formations were probably the most difficult to follow.

    Fortunately, after nightfall, she had successfully completed the explanation of the formation.

    “You need to master this formation within a month, and we will start explaining other formations next month. You must learn all the necessary formations before the Corpse Realm Flower matures,” Qing You reminded him.

    “Thank you, senior,” Jiang Hao expressed his gratitude.

    Afterward, Fairy Qing You and Gu Cheng left the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

    ......

    Walking outside, Gu Cheng asked, “Junior Sister, what do you think?”

    “It’s too mediocre,” Fairy Qing You said with some disdain.

    “I’ve never seen someone so difficult to teach. I think it’s a waste of a spot for such a person to enter the Corpse Realm. He probably even thinks highly of himself.”

    “I’m also curious why someone at the mere Foundation Establishment level would be on the list,” Gu Cheng said with a frown.

    “Perhaps he has someone backing him, or there might be another reason. I’ll ask around these next few days; maybe I’ll find an answer. However, I feel that the other inner disciples don’t seem to care much about him. His status here must not be very high.”

    “With mediocre talent, not a pill refiner, and spending all day in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, it’s a waste of time and energy, and he’s not even valued by his peers. How could such a person get a spot? It’s not only a waste of a spot but also puts him in danger. Even if he learns formations and is safe for a while, if he offends someone, it could easily lead to deadly trouble,” Fairy Qing You shook her head.

    “Let’s not worry about it for now; I’ll ask around. Regardless, Junior Sister, you still need to give it your all next month,” Gu Cheng said.

    “Now, just seeing him gives me a headache,” Fairy Qing You rubbed her temples and sighed.

    “I’m afraid that after a month, he won’t have learned even the most basic formations. What am I supposed to do then? If it really comes to it, we might have to have another Senior Brother or Senior Sister come to teach him.”

    “I’ll help you ask around,” Gu Cheng offered.

    Afterward, the two left Duanqing Cliff to go back and report on their work.

    ......

    At this time, Jiang Hao was looking at the formation with a headache.

    He could naturally sense the attitudes of those two people.

    However, he had seen plenty of such attitudes before and didn’t care.

    After memorizing the formation, he began to tend to the spiritual medicines.

    Otherwise, there would be no bubbles tomorrow, which would mean wasting an opportunity to get stronger.

    Once the bubbles are wasted, they’re basically impossible to recover, so it’s better to be diligent.

    After taking care of the spiritual medicines, he returned to his residence.

    He didn’t rush to continue studying the formation. He had more important things to do at the moment.

    For this task, he needed to be in the best possible condition.

    He planned to be at his peak for the next two days.

    On the third day, Jiang Hao approached the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

    At that moment, a blue bubble flew into his body.

    【Cultivation+1】

    Seeing this, Jiang Hao glanced at his panel.

    【Vital Energy: 100/100 (can be cultivated)】

    【Cultivation: 100/100 (can be cultivated)】

    “It’s full. I can advance tonight, and then I can take action tomorrow night.”

    That day, he went to the Scripture Pavilion to check if there would be any anomalies during his advancement.

    After returning, he sought out his master to inquire about the Corpse Realm Flower.

    “Enter the Corpse Realm Flower?”

    Ku Wuchang explained in a deep voice, “It’s a reward from the sect. Whoever grows it gets a spot.”

    Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment. He was unaware of this and would have avoided it if possible.

    “Master, I feel that my cultivation is still shallow. It would be better to let other Senior Brothers and Sisters enter,” Jiang Hao said softly.

    Giving away the spot was the safe thing to do.

    Where the Corpse Realm Flower led was still unknown.

    It was too dangerous for him, a Nascent Soul, to enter.

    Hearing this, Ku Wuchang was silent for a long time.

    Finally, he handed over a piece of wood the size of a thumb, which looked ordinary but contained considerable power.

    “Go on with your tasks.”

    After handing the item to Jiang Hao, he didn’t say anything more.

    Jiang Hao knew he had no choice but to go. It wasn’t appropriate to ask further questions.

    However, he was quite curious about the piece of wood.

    After leaving his master’s residence, he activated the identification.

    【Jade Ruyi: When subjected to a powerful attack, it will automatically activate a defense that can withstand a strike from a Nascent Soul and will perform a random teleportation beyond a thousand li.】

    Jiang Hao: “...”

    A good item. Not only was the defense strong, but it also allowed for a quick escape.

    The only question was how much beyond a thousand li it could go.

    “It’s a pity; it’s not very useful to me. I have the Nine Heavens Battle Armor for Nascent Soul-level defense and the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman for teleportation. But for someone at the Foundation Establishment level, it indeed could block any danger once or twice.”

    After putting the item away, Jiang Hao headed to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

    It seemed he had no choice but to enter a special realm.

    Logically, there should be a suitable place for Foundation Establishment to settle down, otherwise there’s no need to enter.

    Having understood the basics, it’s time to prepare for these things.

    ......

    The following night, the bright moon shone high, casting silver veils over the forest.

    At this moment, a figure appeared under the moonlight, flickering in and out of sight as if walking with the aid of the night light, elusive.

    He made his way to the Hundred Bones Forest, standing outside the valley. Sёarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “Some locations are uncertain.”

    Jiang Hao stood on a tree, looking ahead.

    That area was Bai Ye’s territory, and he dared not enter.

    So it was best to take action right here.

    Normal perception couldn’t capture the opponent, but his spirit was strong, not to mention he was bolstered by the nameless secret manual.

    Given enough time, he should be able to pinpoint the opponent’s location.

    Then Jiang Hao closed his eyes, beginning to sense everything around him.

    For a moment, the spiritual energy around him became visible, like points of light in the darkness, increasing in number and expanding in range.

    The fluctuations and interweaving of spiritual energy were all perceptible.

    Shapes of spiritual herbs and trees slowly took form in terms of spiritual energy.

    After a long while, at a great distance, he saw two figures standing.

    One had thick spiritual energy yet carried a hint of weakness, the other was weaker but flowed smoothly and orderly.

    “Found them.”

    Jiang Hao opened his eyes, looking towards the valley.

    At that moment, he grasped a long spear and then made a throwing motion.

    Purple Qi began to cover everything, with spiritual energy surging along.

    The immense power of the late Nascent Soul stage was infused into the long spear.

    Following that, the divine ability Hidden Spirit Manifestation was activated, and an even more tremendous force enveloped the spear.

    At this point, the ordinary spirit spear was full of cracks and on the verge of shattering.

    Simultaneously, Jiang Hao threw it with all his might.

    Whoosh

    The sound of tearing through the air was emitted, quickly enveloped by the Purple Qi.

    The long spear whistled through the air; this thrust carried no intent to kill, but it was meant to cause serious injury.

    Watching the spear fly, Jiang Hao did not stay to observe.

    Instead, he turned and left.

    After that, he would return every six months.

    From now on, Bai Ye would be under the coverage of his own “Sealing Spirit Technique.”

    Without breaking this technique, advancement was out of the question.
