He would temporarily surpass Liu Xingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he needed to be wary of Bai Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past two days, he had assessed his own situation and tested all kinds of powers. There were no issues at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Hong Yuye hadn’t visited for seven months. Otherwise, Jiang Hao could have had some security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He emptied his mind of all thoughts and began to advance. His spiritual energy surged within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hong Meng Heart Sutra circulated and nourished his body. It allowed his spiritual energy to flow through his meridians and ultimately feed his Primordial Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was some tingling sensation during the breakthrough, but it was a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>normal phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enduring for a moment, Jiang Hao felt as if a great door had blasted open, and a new power began to condense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’ve reached the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had happened sooner than he expected. His Primordial Spirit Realm capabilities had helped him advance easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frequently collecting bubbles and possessing Primordial Spirit divine abilities made his situation far superior to others of the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xingchen’s advancement was also fast. Perhaps it was because he devoured the souls of those who possessed him. He might also possess divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t know much about his abilities, so it was difficult to speculate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes again and planned to use the remaining points to refine his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Jiang Hao activated the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his cultivation recovered, he stored the stacks on his wrist guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also took out the Half-Moon Blade to refine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t go to the Spirit Herb Garden the entire day. He only got up and headed there near dusk to collect some bubbles and check on the spirit herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to his courtyard, he used the Heaven Secrets Hidden Talisman. It concealed his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, there were people spying on him in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from their aura, their cultivation shouldn’t be that powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t probe because he didn’t want them to sense him. It seemed that they all had treasures to conceal their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, the spies disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After informing the spirit beast that he would go to the Spirit Herb Garden tomorrow, he went into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed the aura of Xiao Li’s sub-ring and then sat cross-legged on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was still nurturing the Half-Moon Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, he disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangsha River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuxia Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon shone brightly in the sky, and a silver veil descended from above, enveloping the small, peaceful village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, a dog’s bark could be heard from a distance. Mostly, there were sounds of crickets chirping at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner of the village, a small courtyard was still illuminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, I’m going to sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the river to catch fish with Father for you,” said a girl’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, go to sleep. You won’t be able to wake up tomorrow if you sleep late.” “Tell me the story about the Sea God,” said the girl’s voice after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the story ended. The girl didn’t respond. She must have fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a figure appeared in the courtyard. His appearance didn’t alarm anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is this the place?’ Jiang Hao glanced at the courtyard and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of disturbing the people living there. He walked out of the courtyard and saw Cheng Chou. He was digging underneath a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Jiang Hao walked to the farthest part of the mountain and sat cross-legged under a tree. He attracted danger, so he wanted to see if the Heaven Secrets Hidden Talisman really worked to hide him from other people’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he failed, someone would probably notice him. There was a chance he could escape their attacks if he moved fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fully prepared. He would kill anyone who attacked him. If the enemy was stronger than him, he would stall for time and teleport to his house in the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, he wouldn’t have to involve Xiao Li and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until dawn, Jiang Hao didn’t sense any danger. He was safe for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was heading toward the village, he saw an elderly man with a bamboo basket coming out of Xiao Li’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had a slightly bent back, dark skin, and a face full of wrinkles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao frowned. After a second of thought, he walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footsteps attracted the old man’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, are you looking for directions? Are you lost?” asked the old man with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head. “Just passing by. I wanted to take a stroll through this area. What are you here for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to dig for some bamboo shoots,” the old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please let me accompany you, ” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded. The young man looked formidable and was polite. If he were here to attack him, then he wouldn’t be able to escape anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two of them walked toward the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you feeling alright?” asked Jiang Hao. “Why do you want to go so far for bamboo shoots? What about your family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man chuckled. “I’ve been bedridden for half a month. My daughter keeps saying that the bamboo shoots I pick taste good. Today, I feel much better. I thought I would search for some bamboo shoots in the mountains.” “It seems you really love your daughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s mischievous, but she’s really well-behaved,” said the old man proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about your other children?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man shook his head helplessly. “Who knows? Maybe they don’t want to take care of us anymore, or maybe they are already dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man stopped in front of a bamboo grove and was about to start digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll do it. I’ve never done this before, but I’ve always wanted to try,” Jiang Hao said. He smiled and took the hoe from the old man’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s inconvenient for you, young man,” said the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s alright. I don’t mind. Do you have any regrets in your life?” asked Jiang Hao as he dug the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” The old man laughed. “Who lives without regrets? I feel like I’ve spent most of my life either regretting or feeling remorse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Life has been tough, hasn’t it?” Jiang Hao glanced at the calluses on the old man’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man leaned against the bamboo and chuckled. “Can’t be helped… Everyone lives a life full of struggles. I’m curious about the lives of rich people in the city. I wonder what kind of hoe they use for farming…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden ones?” liang Hao said\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man laughed heartily. “The rich folks don’t farm. They make others do it for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao smiled and then dug out a bamboo shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please dig out one more. I’m going to save it for my daughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao took the bamboo basket. “Of course. I have plenty of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched the old man’s vitality seemingly burning its last flame, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh..\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-03T11:45:44.968Z","2026-06-03T11:45:50.889Z",1,"novelbin.me","3930eee1ce5f7eb30fba43d70a7c92816fbc6b5de01969d20e22e1d0855ecfc6","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-234","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-232",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
