Soon, he would be able to use the Black-Yellow Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Yellow Curse was an offensive technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power was quite formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Universe in A Palm was a sealing technique, and the Mountain Sea Seal was a suppression technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Yellow Curse, however, belonged to the offensive category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unsure of its exact nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it similar to the Heavenly Blade? If it was, it would be somewhat disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was not in a rush. He wanted to put his mind in a good state first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the Longevity Fruit needed to be placed in his courtyard. He needed to pick a good spot for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be great if the Longevity Fruit could also produce bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not like the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. The flower needed watering, but the fruit did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hao placed the Longevity Fruit in a corner, next to the Immortal Peach Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Longevity Fruit had its own domain that was about seven feet in radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his courtyard was not that small and could accommodate the fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also tall spirit herbs around it, so it could blend in with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Longevity Fruit still looked like an anthill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no ants emerged from it. There were no purple stones around it, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not know what was going on. He decided to observe it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing that, he placed the Half-Moon Blade in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This particular Half-Moon Blade had been with him for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could not hold up any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the next Half-Moon Blade, he wanted to buy one that was at the Soul Ascension Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did not have to be extraordinary as long as it was of decent quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was in the Primordial Spirit Realm, fewer people were eyeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending a significant amount of spirit stones to buy a good blade would not seem so unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent ten thousand spirit stones to buy a pitch-black sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The better ones sold for twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones, so he bought the cheapest one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of January, Cheng Chou took Xiao Li out of the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Era was about to arrive, and many people would not be able to venture out again. Even those people who were not immortals yet were preparing for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to prepare to advance or become an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were not sure when such an opportunity would arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were not prepared on that particular day, they might not be able to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Cheng Chou had left, Jiang Hao had to go to the Spirit Herb Garden every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past few days, most spirit herbs produced white or green bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue bubble would appear once every month or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared irregularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, he also checked the stone tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing and Gui were traveling, so he only saw Zhang and Liu chatting most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang mentioned that the Astronomical Academy had fallen silent. Some of the seniors who had gone out had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the North was still in chaos. Some disciples were running around trying to figure things out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had begun to condense the Flower of Fortune once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu expressed his doubt. He was curious how Zhang knew about all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang’s response was that people with the fortune of the West had sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Hao saw this, he knew it was Lou Mantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Lou Mantian had no intention of stopping it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he might not be able to find it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Jiang Hao wondered if Lou Mantian, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Jin could get the Great Era’s opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seem to have been in one place for many years. Did it count as a force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could give him an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could ask the Red Dragon about it. He was always at the Jade Cloud Pavilion. It was almost like he was part of that place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathering had not started yet, so Jiang Hao was not in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news about Smiling San Sheng and the ambush might have spread far and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the others would ask about it in the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to understand a bit about the Five Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao rarely saw Ming Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since they last met. Surprisingly, she had also reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother, it’s been a long time.” Ming Yi smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. It’s been so long since I last saw you, Senior Sister,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm? Your cultivation realm is so much higher than mine.” Ming Yi sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, this person only seemed like a pawn to be used in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things had completely changed since then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things had changed to the point that she had to look up to him at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only about seventy years old and was already at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Not just that, he was also a candidate for the seat of the top disciple and a True Disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, he might actually compete with the top disciples of the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was astounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time filters out the weak and the strong. Some stood out over time, while others got completely submerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back then, when you were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, I used to come here to ask you for spirit herbs, Junior Brother,” said Ming Yi with a nostalgic smile. “Thinking back… it’s already been fifty years since then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. How is the spirit herb?” asked Jiang Hao as he recalled the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It withered,” said Ming Yi helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-03T11:46:20.732Z","2026-06-03T11:46:27.410Z",1,"novelbin.me","e87479cc892bb7574e6eebe35c28e016c1de4b9a98c54ddabcd009fd2774eee2","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1293","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1291",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
