Chapter 412: If He Couldn’t Learn It, Then Others Shouldn ‘t Either

Looking at the junior, Jiang Hao was unsure how to proceed.
‘Blood Wish Path..
He had considered the various problems this rumor brought him, but he had never anticipated that someone would come to ask about how to cultivate it.
He had never even seen the cultivation method of the Blood Wish Path.
He only knew that the early stages were extremely cruel, especially the refining of the Blood Wish Gourd.
It was abhorrent.
To walk this path, one had to trample countless lives.
Even if one succeeded, their aura would be unstable.
It was far less stable than conventional cultivation methods.
The only benefit was faster progress.
But the junior brother before him had a strange aura. It seemed his eagerness for quick gains was causing frequent issues.
“I would be immensely grateful if you could provide me some guidance, Senior Brother Jiang,” Pei Yuan said and added ten more spirit stones.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I am not knowledgeable about the Blood Wish path,” Jiang Hao said.
Rumors were just rumors, after all.
The day he admitted to it would be the day he couldnt find any other choice.
That day hadn’t come yet.
But such rumors could influence others.
“You really don’t know?” Pei Yuan was surprised.
It seemed he had come here for another answer.
“But many people have said that only you practice the Blood Wish Path, and you do it well,” Pei Yuan said.
“Perhaps they are just rumors,” Jiang Hao said. “I must take my leave.”
Jiang Hao walked towards the Spirit Herb Garden to continue tending to the spirit herbs.
Pei Yuan stood still for a moment, hesitated, and turned around to leave.
He thought that Jiang Hao just didn’t want to guide him.
The more people practiced the Blood Wish Path, the fiercer the competition would be.
So, those who knew it claimed not to.
However, he had been unable to make a breakthrough. If he continued like this, it would deplete his lifespan.
Originally, it wouldn’t be a problem, but several failures had left him in a desperate situation.
At the thought of his impending death, his eyes turned hostile.
If he couldn’t succeed, then others shouldn’t either.
The Blood Wish Path was extremely crucial and required a lot of effort.
The loss of one or two people wasn’t very significant, but what if everyone died?
Pei Yuan had a crazy idea. But he wouldn’t take extreme actions until the end.
In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao glanced behind him and looked in the direction where Pei Yuan had left. He frowned.
Did his lack of knowledge bring him trouble?
Those who cultivated the Blood Wish Path were inherently cruel and bloodthirsty.
After that, Jiang Hao continued with his own affairs but made some preparations.
He just had to wait and see if the bait would be taken.
Unfortunately, two months passed without any incidents.
What surprised him was that he encountered the junior brother again this morning.
However, this time, the junior brother’s aura was no longer chaotic. It was solid and pure, and the scent of blood was even stronger.
Someone experienced had guided him. Jiang Hao knew it.
“Senior Brother Jiang, I came to seek guidance regarding the Blood Wish Path again.” Pei Yuan smiled.
Gone were the previous humility and respect. This was a change brought about by power.
Jiang Hao saw this and understood his thoughts to some extent.
With someone experienced guiding him, his progress was swift.
A promising future awaited him. Thus, he was confident and assured of his success.
Jiang Hao had also encountered such situations, but he managed to control himself. Initially, he suppressed such thoughts to prevent any slip-ups, and then he got used to it and treated things calmly.
He believed in growing stronger and acting when the time came.
Facing his junior brother, Jiang Hao responded as he had before.
“Junior Brother, you’ve really got the wrong person. I don’t know anything about the Blood Wish Path.”
“How about we compete to see who reaches the Golden Core Realm earlier?” Pei Yuan said. His eyes were icy.
It was as though anyone who didn’t make it fast would die.
Jiang Hao appraised him.
[Pei Yuan: At the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect’s Flowing Waterfall branch. Cultivates the Blood Wish Path. He nearly died because he learned it incompletely. Yin Wei guided him, and he successfully broke through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm in one fell swoop. He has come to provoke you this time.
He is planning to seek a chance for vengeance after reaching the Golden Core Realm and drain your blood.]
‘Who is Yin Wei?’
Jiang Hao thought that it would be Senior Brother Qian Chen guiding Pei Yuan, but he didn’t expect it to be someone he didn’t know at all.
However, he didn’t make a fuss.
He just shook his head and told Pei Yuan that he was far from reaching the Golden Core Realm.
If this person wanted to act against him, he’d have to wait until after reaching the Golden Core Realm.
For now, there was no need to pay him any mind.
He was more concerned about someone watching him.
The appearance of the Blood Wish Path had thrown him into a vortex.
He was sure that Qian Chen had pushed him out to avoid other influences.
Pei Yuan was likely a pawn as well.
However, this Yin Wei seemed strange.
Jiang Hao didn’t think much of it for now.
It was already November.
The Immortal Peach Tree was once again full of fruits. He kept some and gave the rest to Cheng Chou and Lin Zhi.
At this moment, Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrate.
It was a call for a gathering, and it would be tonight at midnight.
There wasn’t much time left until Tune. This gathering would probably discuss
the upcoming Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference.
Late at night, Jiang Hao took out the stone tablet and entered it.
There were the same four people present with Dan Yuan.
“Are there any issues with your cultivation?” Dan Yuan asked as usual.
Once again, no one had any cultivation-related issues.
“What about the Saint Bandits?” asked Dan Yuan.
“When I was in the southern region, I heard some rumors about them. But I was in a hurry, so I didn’t investigate further. It seems like the influence of the Saint Bandits has started spreading to various regions,” Gui said.
“I haven’t heard anything overseas.” Liu shook his head.
“Because of the upcoming bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference, people have been arriving one after another. The members of the Saint Bandits have gone quiet. They are most likely relocating to other areas,” Xing said.
Jiang Hao remained silent.
He hadn’t come into contact with members of the Saint Bandits.
Moreover, the information was spread out too thin. They only informed everyone about the situation and warned them to be cautious in their approach. It didn’t amount to completing the mission.
Dan Yuan nodded. He didn’t dwell much on the topic. After all, this gathering wasn’t for that.
“Has the date for the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference been set?” asked Dan
Yuan.
“It should happen in June next year, so there are still six months left, ” Xing said.
Then, Xing turned to Gui and Jiang Hao.
“I’ve already arrived in the east, not far from Tiansheng Continent, ” Gui said.
“I’m almost there too,” Jiang Hao said.
He hadn’t actually set out yet, but if Xiao Li and the others arrived at the Bright Moon Sect soon, he could just arrive there.
They might be almost there.
“My people have reached the eastern region too. Friend Xing, you can try to contact them,” said Dan Yuan.
Then, the stone tablet appeared in front of Xing. It was offering a communication method.
“Alright.” Xing nodded in gratitude. Then, he began to explain the new mission.
“There are a total of three locations. They are unpopulated and not very important. They are in the south, north, and west. You can choose where you want to go,” Xing said.
“I’ll go to the south,” Gui said. She then looked at Jiang Hao.
“In that case, I’ll go north,” Jiang Hao said.
He wanted to keep a distance from Gui.
That left the West for Dan Yuan’s people.
He didn’t know if Dan Yuan himself would appear there or someone else..
