Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1082  Hitting Lin Zhi

Jiang Hao did not intend to take Bing Qing to the spirit beast.

But he felt like it would not be a bad idea if the spirit beast could stay by her side. She was so devoted to the spirit beast, after all.

He did not want to get involved, but the spirit beast was different.

They could be friends. It would be safe that way.

Maybe he could release the spirit beast, and it could join Bing Qing someday.

Xiao Li, spirit beast, Bing Qing, and Little Wang.

If they formed a group, they would not rush to the East or the North.

They could take their own path.

Besides, they were all very strong and knew how to handle dangers.

They did as they pleased. It was easier to let them go.

Lin Zhi was different. Jiang Hao thought Lin Zhi was like him. He would prefer to stay in the sect.

Wei Lie felt strange. He did not understand what was going on with this woman.

But she was sent here from the Lawless Tower, so she might not be someone ordinary.

It did not matter how extraordinary they were once they were sent to the mines.

Everyone was the same here.

“Senior Brother, do you think it’s okay?” Jiang Hao asked Wei Lie. “I’m not taking her out of the mine. I’ll just relocate her someplace still inside the

“Junior Brother, you’re too polite. It’s fine,” said Wei Lie.

He did not even expect Jiang Hao to ask for his permission. But because he did that, Wei Lie felt acknowledged.

It was a nice feeling when someone stronger than him showed him respect and asked for his permission.

Bing Qing did not think too much about it. She was just glad that something was happening.

Moreover, this person was the one who had visited her in the tower and brought her a friend. He would definitely take her to see her friend.

After a while, Jiang Hao saw Lin Zhi sitting in front of a cave in the mine. He was looking up at the sky. Jiang Hao did not know what was going on in his mind.

He was covered in bruises.

When Jiang Hao approached, Lin Zhi was still looking at the sky.

He had grown into a young man.

“How old are you now?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.

He could not quite remember.

Lin Zhi was not very young anymore.

Suddenly, Lin Zhi turned to look at Jiang Hao.

When he saw who it was, he was surprised. He immediately stood up. “Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang.”

“Sit,” Jiang Hao said softly.

“Since you have found him, I’ll get going. If there’s anything you need, come and find me, Junior Brother Jiang,” said Wei Lie and left.

Jiang Hao did not stop him.

After Wei Lie left, Lin Zhi said, “Thirty-one.”

“Thirty-one?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

Jiang Hao felt like Lin Zhi was still a young boy in his teens when he had recruited him into the sect. He might have been twelve or thirteen when he entered the sect.

He was already thirty-one!

Then, Chu Chuan would be thirty-one too!

Xiao Li was thirty-two years old.

“Time flies.” Jiang Hao could not help but sigh.

He felt like they were still children. How had they suddenly reached their thirties?

“It does…” Lin Zhi nodded. He looked sad as he thought of his mother.

“Third stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm?” Jiang Hao smiled. “You look very young.”

“It was Lord Beast who taught me,” said Lin Zhi. “Lin Mo and Zhao Qingxue gave me the pills to keep me young.”

Jiang Hao nodded. There was no problem with it, but still being at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm in their thirties was considered very slow progress.

If that was the case, logically, it was impossible to tell how long it would take to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm for someone like that. Maybe he could reach that realm only in his sixties or seventies.

“How’s your cultivation doing?” Jiang Hao asked.

Lin Zhi glanced at Bing Qing.

“It’s alright,” Jiang Hao said reassuringly.

Lin Zhi said, “I have some problems.”

He told Jiang Hao that his cultivation was going smoothly, but it was much harder to store the starlight in his body. His meridians were swollen because of it.

Jiang Hao listened to his questions.

“I’ll start from the Lifeblood Refinement Realm. Listen carefully. It should be able to solve your problem.”

He could not solve Lin Zhi’s problems for him. What he could do was try to teach him so that Lin Zhi could understand his realm better and solve the problems himself.

Jiang Hao had learned it when he was in the West. He had learned about the cultivation realms very deeply, and it had helped him immensely.

After that, he explained everything.

Lin Zhi listened attentively. At first, he nodded in understanding. But later, he felt confused.

Jiang Hao told him to find some books to understand it more.

Bing Qing was shocked as she listened to him.

She could not understand how a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator had such a deep understanding of cultivation realms.

She had dedicated her life to cultivating, and she knew a lot about it.

She felt that this person was not inferior to her when it came to knowledge about cultivation realms.

For the first time, she realized that the disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect were not as simple as they seemed.

This place was remote and barren, but it housed many extraordinary cultivators.

She learned new things every day.

“How is it now?” Jiang Hao asked.

“My problem is solved,” Lin Zhi said excitedly.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Have you been here for many years?”

Lin Zhi shook his head. “My talent is… not so good. Lin Mo and Zhao Qingxue always try to help me out when I’m outside. Here… they forget about me and only come to visit sometimes. It’s less trouble. Also, this place has many beautiful things. I can see the moon and stars from here. I can take my time to improve here without the pressure, and it’s safer.”

Jiang Hao looked around.

“It’s been a few years.” Lin Zhi nodded.

“Aren’t you planning to leave?” Jiang Hao asked.

Lin Zhi shook his head. “My talent is… not so good. Lin Mo and Zhao Qingxue always try to help me out when I’m outside. Here… they forget about me and only come to visit sometimes. It’s less trouble. Also, this place has many beautiful things. I can see the moon and stars from here. I can take my time to improve here without the pressure, and it’s safer.”

Jiang Hao looked around.

It was empty, so no one would come chasing after Lin Zhi to attack him.

However, Jiang Hao still felt that this place was not as safe as the Cliff of Broken Hearts. But Lin Zhi had made his choice, so he did not say anything.

Everyone had to choose their own path.

“You want someone to attack you here?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes,” Lin Zhi said awkwardly. “Lord beast taught me well. I only knew how to get beaten up before, so…”

“Those people picking a fight with you aren’t strong enough. They’ll teach you nothing,” said Jiang Hao as he turned to Bing Qing. “Try hitting him. Just think of him as your friend’s enemy.”

“Alright.” Bing Qing nodded. She then stood in front of Lin Zhi.

She threw a punch.

The heavy fist landed on Lin Zhi’s face at lightning speed.

He did not even have time to react.

He flew back and crashed against the wall.

Then, he saw another fist coming his way.

He dodged, so he could decide where the fist would land.

But the opponent went straight for his vitals.

With another heavy punch, Lin Zhi felt a searing pain.

Was this person really at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm?

How was this possible?

He felt helpless.

Lin Zhi wailed in pain.

Jiang Hao stopped Bing Qing.

“How do you feel?” he asked Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi spat out blood.

“She’ll do this every three days from now on, so be careful,” said Jiang Hao.

Then he looked at Bing Qing. “You stay here. I’ll help you figure out your friend’s situation.”

“Alright.” Bing Qing nodded excitedly. “Can you figure out something in two years?”

“Two years?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“Too short? What about five years?” Bing Qing asked helplessly.

Jiang Hao looked at her carefully and nodded. “Alright.”

Bing Qing smiled.

She felt like there was hope in her life again. She felt a little nervous.
