Chapter 892: Advanced On The Spot
“The sect is not safe lately. Let’s stay in the outer sect area for a while,” said Jiang Hao calmly.
It seemed that people like Lin MO were planning to go to the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, which was opposite to Jiang Hao’s decision.
“Senior Brother Jiang, we asked around and found out that some things are happening in the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion,” said Lin MO earnestly. “We might gain something there.”
Zhao Qingxue said, “I heard from some seniors from the White Moon Lake that many people in the Candlelight Pill Pavilion are currently refining pills. If we go there, it might benefit our cultivation immensely.”
Jiang Hao looked at the two and sighed inwardly. What cultivation benefits did they expect to get at their level?
They believed they could benefit because they already had the advantage. What about the others?
Besides, many people gathering in one place meant that there was definitely something strange going on there.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “Your cultivation realms are still weak. Let’s try the outer sect area first.”
“But if we don’t choose now, we’ll need achievements later to make a choice. We finally have a chance because of the seniors!” Lin MO exclaimed.
Jiang Hao had his doubts. Did the senior from before offer him a choice of routes because of Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue? It was not entirely unbelievable.
Where there was competition, there was likely something troublesome brewing.
In contrast, the outer sect area was different. He could turn a blind eye and be safe.
“Senior Brother, it’s not too late to change our minds,” said Lin Mo.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. He was in a dilemma. If it were any other time, he would’ve taken action, but he didn’t want to deal with these two in front of Lin Zhi.
“Junior Brother Lin,” said Zheng Shijiu coldly, “Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Do you think you can do whatever you want?”
“I…” Lin MO wanted to speak, but he was pulled back by Lin Zhi. “Why are you pulling me away?” Lin MO turned back angrily.
“Just listen to Senior Brother,” Lin Zhi whispered.
Lin MO was still frustrated but didn’t say anything more.
Jiang Hao looked at them and then turned away. “Let’s go.”
It was quite troublesome, but it was harmless. He didn’t need to pay too much attention to it.
Everyone had their own thoughts and opinions. He couldn’t force them to follow him.
After completing the handover, Jiang Hao led the group on their swords to start their patrol.
Below were many outer sect disciples. Some were chopping wood to temper their bodies, some were carrying water, and a few were meditating and cultivating.
At that moment, the people looked up. They all yearned to be immortal cultivators and fly on their swords.
Jiang Hao sighed with emotion. More than twenty years ago, he was like that.
He would look up at the powerful people and wish for the same. He assumed they were on important business too. But it turned out they were also just patrolling at that time.
He had become the person he had admired when he was a child. It didn’t make him feel at ease.
Back then, he thought it was much safer after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, when he reached that realm, he realized the danger was just beginning.
Jiang Hao’s divine light converged, and he gained some insight. His aura suddenly diminished.
The others didn’t notice anything, but Zheng Shijiu felt that something was strange.
However, it was very vague.
He calmed down. It was probably Jiang Hao’s influence.
“Someone below is fighting,” Zhao Qingxue said.
Jiang Hao and the others looked down. They saw three outer sect disciples joining forces to deal with a young boy. At first, the young boy withstood them, but he was failing.
Jiang Hao ignored it and continued flying on his sword.
A pressure descended.
In an instant, the four people below were terrified. They didn’t dare fight.
“Such trivial matters shouldn’t concern us,” said Jiang Hao.
They were on patrol. They weren’t expected to intervene in matters that didn’t concern the sect.
If people stopped fighting after noticing the immortals flying in the sky, it was because they were terrified of standing out. It would be dangerous to be noticed.
The patrol lasted for a day or two.
After that, they went back to rest and waited for the next shift.
The outer sect area was vast, and they had only covered a small part of it.
Jiang Hao was on duty.
Lin Zhi walked over to him. “Senior Brother Jiang…”
“I think Senior Brother Lin MO and Senior Sister Zhao Qingxue brought me along because they think my cultivation hasn’t progressed,” said Lin Zhi in explanation.
Jiang Hao looked at him. “Before you advanced, did they approach you?”
Lin Zhi was stunned. “Yes, they did.”
“Did you agree to it?” Jiang Hao asked.
Lin Zhi shook his head. “No, I didn’t.”
“This is the power of strength and influence. It will unknowingly change you even when you try not to let it,” said Jiang Hao and looked at him. “It’s not a bad thing. It’s also inevitable, but if you let it get to your head, it’ll be your doom.”
Lin Zhi finally realized it. He hadn’t thought about it before.
“So… What should I do?” he asked.
“Let it be for now. You don’t need to do anything. Just understand what’s happening and keep yourself in check.”
After that, he asked Lin Zhi to sit down, and he explained some details of the Star Moon Lifeblood Refinement Cultivation at length.
When he was explaining, Zheng Shijiu approached them and stood guard.
Jiang Hao continued with the lesson. “Now, I’ll explain the various stages of Lifeblood Refinement and some Foundation establishment. It might be useful for you in the future.”
Zheng Shijiu hesitated and looked at Jiang Hao. When he realized that Jiang Hao didn’t mind, he also sat down.
He thought there was nothing he didn’t know about Lifeblood Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realm.
Jiang Hao explained the Lifeblood Refinement Realm in great detail. Lin Zhi understood only part of it, but Zheng Shijiu became more attentive as he listened. He found it unbelievable.
There were many things he hadn’t understood even though he had advanced beyond that realm.
Later, when the explanation moved to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he felt even more shocked.
The realm that had been static all along was unexpectedly pulsating.
Zheng Shijiu looked at Jiang Hao in awe.
If his explanations continued, he felt that he might find the opportunity to actually advance in his cultivation.
Although Jiang Hao didn’t look at Senior Brother Zheng, he sensed the change in his aura.
He said to Lin Zhi, “I will continue with the Golden Core Realm explanation.”
After a while, the Golden Core aura spread.
Zheng Shijiu advanced on the spot..
