It offered better protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would be willing to spend twenty thousand spirit stones on a single pack of tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao sat down after pouring the tea for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does it feel like to master the Heaven Lock Technique?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It feels like being able to see people’s talents. It even gives you the power to interfere with it,” said Jiang Hao truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Heaven Lock Technique was unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that technique couldn’t be used lightly. It had a great impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the Hong Meng Heart Sutra, it would have been fatal to use it twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you give her?” Hong Yuye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min was still lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Charm body,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao teasingly. “So, you’ve learned charm techniques?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was stunned. He recalled the embarrassing moment when Hong Yuye had caught him reading about charm techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head to drink tea and chose not to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already forgotten about that matter, and he didn’t expect Hong Yuye to remember either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even looked at books on charm techniques for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hong Yuye had caught him reading them, he had been too embarrassed to open another book in his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye didn’t ask further. Instead, she looked disdainfully at Li Min. “Why do you always run to unlucky places?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was unsure how to answer her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to venture to ominous places, but he had no choice sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to mine for ores and bubbles. Now that he had finally found a decent mine, he couldn’t continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was regrettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know about the origin of that tree, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye fell silent for a moment. “It is said that the Longevity Tree nurtured a clan called the Longevity Clan. When the Longevity Tree was infused with a curse, the clan also changed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Longevity Clan?’ Jiang Hao had never heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Other than longevity, is there anything special about this clan?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye thought for a moment. “They possess a vast life force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was puzzled. What did that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Hao asked again, he didn’t get an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only continue drinking his tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he sipped the September Spring, he felt much more at ease. , and the effects brought by Locking Heaven gradually dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But spending twenty thousand spirit stones in one go was indeed quite extra. The side effect of using the Heaven Lock Technique dissipated. It was a shame that the tea cost twenty thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recovered slowly. The Revival of Withered Wood ability healed him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he told her about the discussion they had had at the recent gathering. He also mentioned that the ancient pages might be in the West.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also mentioned the matters of Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ancient pages are in the west?” asked Hong Yuye. “Do you have the exact location?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye told him to continue paying attention to any information regarding that. She seemed interested in the Sage’s Pages as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any powerful cultivator would be curious about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they obtained it, they could change the course of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the ability to foresee what might happen was useful and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wanted power and control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, are you going to the West?” Jiang Hao asked. “I will definitely take good care of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower when the time comes. So, please rest easy, Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye raised her eyebrows slightly as she held her teacup to her lips. “Are you implying you don’t want to work for me anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am willing to do everything in my power for you, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s going to the West then?” “Of course, it’ll be me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye sipped her tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue a couple?” Hong Yuye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. They want to break free from the control of the Great Thousand God Sect,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they married? Doesn’t the Great Thousand God Sect know about them already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems that they are indeed married. I think the Great Thousand God Sect doesn’t know that for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye smiled. “The Great Thousand Mental Control is not simple. Perhaps not long from now, their secret will be discovered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was surprised. “Mu Longyu is one of the Heavenly Kings, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does the Great Thousand God Sect have a way to deal with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confronting one Heavenly King would mean confronting twelve of them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was almost impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Great Thousand God Sect was formidable, it probably couldn’t afford to offend such a powerful person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye glanced at him with a look that made him feel strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao could only change the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, do you think there is something within that cave?” asked Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘You’ll find out if you go down,” Hong Yuye said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Go down?’ This was definitely not a place he could walk in recklessly. There was probably a treasure inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place wasn’t as simple as he had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was the cursed tree and the black water too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of curiosity, he asked about the source of the black water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only continue drinking his tea. He felt better as the tea took effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to feel a strange kind of tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he fully recovered, he found that there was no trace of Hong Yuye beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had almost returned to his peak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min was awake too. She was leaning against the wall and nursing her injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that Jiang Hao had saved her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the others arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw that both of them were in a sorry state, they seemed stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thought the two people had fought with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao understood that they might have misread the situation, so he explained about the beast attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao wasn’t weak. If they had actually fought, things would have gone downhill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five of them gathered together and shared whatever they had discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave seemed unusually large, and beasts lurked in many places. They marked all of these locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months passed that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around early March, Jiang Hao stopped digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been digging here for two months and found that his progress was much slower than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had obtained one bubble every three days or so. He had been lucky to obtain at least twenty blue bubbles in two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three months, he had obtained more than thirty blue bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had gained a lot. Eventually, they left the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, there were no unexpected incidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the cave entrance, Jiang Hao saw the Senior Brother with hidden cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the ten others who had entered the mines, only he came out alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Zhixiang and others were amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unimaginable to lose so many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reporting the completion of the mission at the Law Enforcement Hall, they went their own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min sighed. This was her first encounter with Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found that he was not someone she could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only let go of the resentment in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she passed by a lake, she caught her reflection in the water. She thought she would see her usual boated self, but she found that something was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had changed. Her appearance had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked elegant and graceful. Even she was amazed by her own beauty and charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really her?\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-03T11:46:04.468Z","2026-06-03T11:46:09.666Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea16d710546d8cbf5a6f41b4997a867d9fd3850bc1f6e307a95d74f085a4e054","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-818","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-816",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
