“Why are you at odds with Xiao Li?” Jiang Hao used quite a bit of power to heal
Chu Chuan.
“It’s nothing. Senior Sister Xiao Li is too heavy-handed sometimes,” said Chu Chuan softly.
After all, the one who had used force was still present in the room. Jiang Hao shook his head. “Let’s go. Take a walk with me.” “What about me, Senior Brother?” Xiao Li asked.
“It’s lunchtime. Go eat something,” Jiang Hao said to her.
Xiao Li immediately ran to the cafeteria with the spirit beast. “Bye, Senior Brother.”
Watching her run away, Jiang Hao smiled.
Then, he stepped out of the room, and Chu Chuan followed closely behind.
They walked to the mountaintop. Jiang Hao asked, “How’s your cultivation going?”
“I went to the Devil’s Den, and I’m about to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm,” Chu Chuan said excitedly.
Jiang Hao nodded. Indeed, Chu Chuan was on the verge of advancement.
Within the next year or two, he should be able to successfully enter the late stage.
It was quite impressive.
He was only twenty-two at the moment.
However, the gap between him and Chu Jie was still huge. Chu Jie was already at the Golden Core Realm.
“Are you still practicing the Hundred Revolution of the Heavenly Note?” Jiang
Hao asked and looked down at the river below the mountain.
“Yes.” Chu Chuan nodded.
“How does it feel?” Jiang Hao turned to him.
“Huh?” Chu Chuan was puzzled. There were no issues so far.
“I’ll teach you a new cultivation method and a set of blade techniques,” Jiang Hao said.
After obtaining the Freedom Technique a few months ago, he had already understood how to cultivate it. He had also modified a small part of it without a worry for future deviations.
After a while, Chu Chuan activated the Freedom Technique, and a gleam of light shone in his eyes.
He was delighted.
This technique was better than the Hundred Revolutions of the Heavenly Note and more suitable for him.
“How did you obtain it, Senior Brother?”
“Don’t ask too many questions. If someone asks, just say you found it yourself,” Jiang Hao said.
“Understood.” Chu Chuan nodded.
“This method is called the Freedom Technique. It’s relatively safe to use, but still, be a little cautious,” Jiang Hao said.
Chu Chuan listened attentively.
The Freedom Technique suited Chu Chuan but wasn’t entirely perfect for him.
Nevertheless, it was better than the Hundred Revolutions of the Heavenly Note.
This might make it easier for him to catch up with Chu Jie.
She was outstanding, not just in talent but also with powerful forces supporting her.
It would be incredibly challenging for Chu Chuan to catch up by himself.
“Senior Brother Jiang, what cultivation realm do you think Chu Jie is in now?” Chu Chuan suddenly asked. Jiang Hao looked at him. “Very high.”
“How high?” Chu Chuan asked.
He was almost as tall as Jiang Hao now. He was full of spirit and vigor. He was in stark contrast to the dark kid Jiang Hao had seen before.
Xiao Li wasn’t even as tall as his shoulders. It was no wonder he felt confident and challenged Xiao Li sometimes.
Jiang Hao didn’t answer him. “Just keep trying and aiming high. That’s all for now. ”
“Let’s go. I’ll teach you the blade techniques.” Jiang Hao headed toward an open space.
Only Chu Chuan could learn both the Freedom Technique and the blade techniques at the same time.
Lin Zhi cultivated the techniques of the Bright Moon Sect, and the treasure within him resonated with it.
The Freedom Technique didn’t suit him. The modified blade techniques also weren’t suitable for Lin Zhi’s spiritual essence. They were more fitting for the indomitable Chu Chuan.
“Have you considered the consequences of getting involved in combat?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I have.” Chu Chuan nodded.
“What did you think about it?” Jiang Hao asked.
Chu Chuan hesitated. “I’ve thought about success… and about failure. But I’ve never considered giving up.”
Jiang Hao looked at him and didn’t say anything.
He began instructing Chu Chuan in the modified blade techniques, which he split into nine forms without naming them. He could only teach the basics and the first form. The rest needed further study.
Chu Chuan wasn’t a quick learner, but he remembered everything.
“Do I have to use a blade in the future?”
Jiang Hao shook his head. “No. Use whatever you feel is comfortable for you. This is for your self-defense.”
“Huh?” Chu Chuan was puzzled. “What do you mean, Senior Brother Jiang?”
Jiang Hao looked at him. “If you want to follow in Chu Jie’s footsteps, you can’t stay in the Heavenly Note Sect forever. This place will only limit your development. At some point in time, you’ll have to leave the mountain.”
Chu Chuan was taken aback. He had always considered this place as his home and never thought of leaving.
However, sometimes leaving was the only way forward.
“Don’t worry too much about it for now. The four regions will be your stage, and you can always return to the Heavenly Note Sect. Someday, you will make a name for yourself in all four regions,” said Jiang Hao.
Chu Chuan was the most likely to attract trouble. He might even be the first to leave the sect. His path couldn’t be confined to the Heavenly Note Sect, as it would hinder his growth.
Jiang Hao turned and left.
Chu Chuan hadn’t fully processed everything he had heard, but it didn’t bother him. He eventually left the mountain.
It was inevitable. He understood that his world shouldn’t be confined to the Heavenly Note Sect but should flourish in all four regions.
This was what made Chu Chuan different from Lin Zhi. While the former was ambitious, the latter wished for a quiet life.
As for Xiao Li and the spirit beast, they were carefree.
The next day, at the entrance of the Spirit Herb Garden, Cheng Chou informed Jiang Hao that Senior Brother Bu Ye was satisfied with the herbs and hoped for further cooperation in the future.
Jiang Hao smiled.
“Are there any problems with your cultivation?” he asked.
Cheng Chou’s talent was average, and his progress wasn’t as fast as Chu
Chuan’s. He needed careful guidance.
“Yes, there are a few,” Cheng Chou said earnestly.
Later that day, Jiang Hao spent most of the time explaining problems in cultivation to Cheng Chou. He guided him from the afternoon till late at night.
“Don’t rush it. Take it slow. It’s crucial to steady your mind. Step by step, with a solid foundation, there is hope for you to reach the Golden Core Realm,” Jiang Hao said.
“I will heed all your instructions, Senior Brother Jiang,” said Cheng Chou gratefully.
For others, reaching the Golden Core Realm was within easy reach, but for him, it was a distant dream. However, it seemed like he really had a chance now.
It was all thanks to the guidance that Jiang Hao had provided him with.
Jiang Hao just shook his head. It was a minor matter to him.
The other person had helped him quite a bit.
With that, Jiang Hao returned to the courtyard after spending more peaceful months than he had anticipated.
Sitting under the peach tree, he took out the Tranquil Heart Fruits. He was deep in thought.
“I should find a time to contact Feng Hua. It’s been so long. She probably wants to see me. But I can’t be hasty. I have to wait for Hong Yuye.”
Feng Hua would play mind games with him, and he lacked the knowledge of formations to defend himself without Hong Yuye around.
It required a considerable amount of energy, especially when the person kept stalling for time. If he was discovered, it would be a disaster.
Since he wanted to hurt the person, he couldn’t reveal his weaknesses.
There was no rush. He could focus on selling talismans to earn spirit stones during this time.
Jiang Hao took out his Half-Moon Blade. It already had a crack on it.
‘I’ve lost a few thousand spirit stones already.’ Jiang Hao sighed.
It was time for a new Half-Moon Blade.
The next day, Jiang Hao arrived at the marketplace, set up his stall, and waited for buyers.
After a while, he saw a man standing approach his stall. The man looked skeptical.
It was Senior Brother Duan Guan.
Jiang Hao was speechless. This senior had a lot of spirit stones, but he was often rude to Jiang Hao..
