He wanted to gather enough to awaken the beast’s bloodline so that he could get a golden bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would get a new treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from previous experiences, he knew that treasures emerged from golden bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Heavenly Blade, the nine golden rings, and the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield had all emerged from golden bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been only one purple-gold bubble, so he still didn’t know how they worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the beast, he also needed to wait for Hong Yuye to arrive and inquire about the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. However, it was uncertain when she would come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of waiting, she still didn’t visit. Senior Sister Zhou Chan arrived instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They met at the entrance to the Spirit Herb Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there a reason for your sudden visit, Senior? Can I help with anything?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Sister Zhou Chan had already reached the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Normally, upon successful advancement, one’s cultivation would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there seemed to be no signs of such progress from her. It was puzzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she didn’t want it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came to give something to you, Junior Brother. I also have a message for you,” she said as she took out a square box and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao knew it was a reward for growing the divine flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since he had received one. He felt embarrassed to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t made much progress with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and hadn’t even tended to it much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he accepted the reward because this treasure set was very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The belt might bring about some significant effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Lin Zhi is mining?” Zhou Chan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. He’s cultivating there.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing wrong with mining. It allowed Lin Zhi to refine himself better and avoid people who constantly bullied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, most of the miners were prisoners at lower levels and couldn’t bully him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the downside was that nobody managed that place properly, so there was danger at every corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhi seemed to be at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm, but he was actually at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so there wasn’t much danger for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the beast often went over to meet him and observe the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasional attacks were useful for Lin Zhi to practice his newfound strength. It would prepare him for the dangers of the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When will you bring him back?” Zhou Chan asked. “Junior Sister Zhao wanted to know, so I’m asking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t she ask herself?” Jiang Hao wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Chan shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could understand. The difference between the two had grown, and perhaps a meeting might be embarrassing for one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to not meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Lin Zhi still felt guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting each other would unearth guilt and remorse and make it worse for both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go over to check on his situation in a few days,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went to visit Lin Zhi and found him mining, should he talk to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s great. Although Junior Sister Zhao isn’t going to meet him, she’s still very concerned about Junior Brother Lin Zhi.” Zhou Chan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Chan looked at Jiang Hao. “Junior Brother Jiang, you seem to have remained the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean, Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing. It’s just a passing… thought. The real matter is that Elder Baizhi asked me to inform you that your guest is arriving tonight, so prepare to welcome them,” Zhou Chan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she bid farewell to Jiang Hao and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her leave, Jiang Hao let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Sister Zhou Chan was undoubtedly a good person, but this was a demonic sect, and it was somewhat dangerous for her here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao began to focus on tonight’s event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called guest should be Zhuang Yuzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was coming to see the Heavenly Fragrance Dao flower, and he wondered what his reaction would be upon seeing the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally a strong cultivator, he had become a prisoner due to this flower. His cultivation was also crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without power and status, his future would be hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corpse Heart was his last hope, but there had been no response for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably would find it exceedingly difficult for a rebirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was normal in the Spirit Herb Garden. Jiang Hao sought out Cheng Chou to inquire about his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike others, Cheng Chou consistently had issues, and Jiang Hao would explain them to him. Some fellow disciples would also listen in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, they would ask questions, and out of courtesy, Jiang Hao would give a brief explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to some people wanting to help in the Spirit Herb Garden, but all offers were declined. The Spirit Herb Garden didn’t need anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required only one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, which the garden already had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it also had a Golden Core Realm cultivator because Jiang Hao chose to stay. Cheng Chou helped around, but he wasn’t in charge. He just liked working here and was close to Xiao Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Li probably had no significant responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, before long, she would also have to complete sect missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he could ask her to take the beast along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about time for her to start getting involved with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, Jiang Hao stood at the courtyard gate and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, someone arrived riding a flying sword. It was Senior Sister Yinsha with two others escorting Zhuang Yuzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter had numerous suppression runes on his hands and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For others, the Lawless Tower might show some leniency, but not for Zhuang Yuzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Brother Jiang, we’ll wait outside. If there’s any problem, call us immediately,” said Yinsha as she urged Zhuang Yuzhen forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded. “Senior, please…” he said politely as she stepped aside to let Zhuang Yuzhen in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of Zhuang Yuzhen’s cultivation realm, he was still a senior. Basic courtesy was still necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because someone’s cultivation realm had declined didn’t mean they weren’t a senior anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yuzhen nodded and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t worried about anything. The people from the Heavenly Note Sect wouldn’t harm him. There was no need for that now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao followed him inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhuang Yuzhen frowned. He surveyed the courtyard and was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy here was rich, and there were high-grade spiritual herbs and sacred medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his gaze fell on the peach tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked ordinary, but he knew it wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, the flower is over there,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhuang Yuzhen followed Jiang Hao and saw a flower with only seven leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Heavenly Fragrance Dao flower he had been thinking about all these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem particularly special, but it was indeed a divine object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Yuzhen chuckled and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this sapling-like little flower, he couldn’t help but sigh. “If I had been a bit more cautious back then, would I have ended up like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao also sat down and recalled everything. He felt quite sentimental. “Fortune is where misfortune lurks, and misfortune is where fortune lies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life was always uncertain..\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-06-03T11:46:03.124Z","2026-06-03T11:46:08.818Z",1,"novelbin.me","11d74c6ebe76490b1af1ea5bb3fb0b3bc023ad364e7842f8d756839ff75d528a","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-742","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-740",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
