Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Normal cultivation pills were not cheap.

“It’s the least we can do. You’ve helped us before, and now that we have some clues, we naturally want to thank you for your assistance,” Wan Yanfeng said with a smile.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He had expected them to come and question him, but unexpectedly, they came to offer gifts.

They weren’t resentful or angry because he had let Wu Yong go.

Everything was perfectly normal.

Moreover, he could sense that the others didn’t dare to steal glances at him suspiciously.

This Senior Brother Wan was quite different. He was unlike the people he had encountered before.

After a few more polite exchanges, Wan Yanfeng left.

Everyone was surprised.

In fact, they hadn’t done anything and didn’t intend to get involved. Who knew what kind of creature the spirit beast was?

So, they turned a blind eye to it.

But it was unexpected for these people to suddenly come over and express their thanks.

A few days later, Jiang Hao felt that his perception was much clearer than before.

The nameless manual had been upgraded.

He opened his eyes and intended to continue studying a different technique.

‘The Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade? The Light and Dust technique?

Talismans?’

These were not suitable to focus on here.

Then, he thought of the Heaven Lock Technique because he hadn’t learned it yet and could try to study it.

The contents couldn’t be taken out to read, but he remembered the description of the Heaven Lock Technique.

He could study it directly.

However, days later, he still felt like something was missing.

He felt that he could read it, but for some reason, he just couldn’t understand it.

It was already nighttime and almost time for his break.

“It seems that we’ve started recruiting disciples again recently. I wonder if there are any good talents this time,” Xia Cun said enviously.

It seemed that every time they recruited disciples, it was an interesting event for them.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen a disciple with exceptional talent. I wonder if we’ll have a big harvest this time,” Kong Hu said in anticipation.

After listening for a while, Jiang Hao took his leave.

It was time for him to rest.

This time, he went back to water the plants and then headed straight to the Lawless Tower.

He wanted to study the Heaven Lock Technique, and for that, he had to meet Nangong Yue.

For some reason, he remembered that strange feeling he had gotten when he saw her.

On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Senior Sister Yinsha wasn’t there. Jiang Hao didn’t waste any time and approached Zhuang Yuzhen.

King Hai Luo was originally clamoring about something but suddenly fell silent.

Soon, he reacted again.

Jiang Hao knew that this was a lingering effect from before.

“I wondered who it was, but it’s only a Golden Core Realm cultivator.” Hai Luo sneered.

Jiang Hao chose not to engage in conversation.

He looked directly at Nangong Yue.

He appraised her.

[Nangong Yue: from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. A member of the Saint Bandits.

Her cultivation realm has been disintegrated and absorbed by the Lawless Tower. She’s only left with the power of a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm. She is disgusted by you. Although she is a prisoner, she is fearless. She had pride and faith. Even if she dies, she won’t betray the Saint Bandits. There are traces of the Heaven Lock Technique on her body.]

‘Disgusted?’

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He seemed to have done nothing yet was treated like this.

Perhaps it was because of last time.

All he saw was the extension of her aura.

Regarding this, he chose not to explain.

The people from the Lawless Tower had not asked for his help yet. Even if they did, he couldn’t do anything.

So, Jiang Hao focused on the last sentence. ‘Traces of Heaven Lock on her body… Indeed, the thing I nearly captured before was the Heaven Lock

Technique.’

Concerning this technique, Jiang Hao felt worried.

He dared not let others know or even learn this technique. It would have an impact on the entire cultivation world.

But on the other hand, he felt that if he didn’t learn it now, he might regret it in the future.

So, if he had the chance to learn it, he wouldn’t let it slip by.

As long as he kept it hidden well, no one would know that he had learned it.

After some hesitation, he sat cross-legged in front of cell number three.

He looked at Nangong Yue.

She seemed angry.

Jiang Hao slowly closed his eyes. He used the knowledge from the nameless manual to sense his surroundings.

He wanted to capture the extension of her aura to see if he could grasp the feeling he had before.

This sudden action puzzled the three people.

Nangong Yue, who had intended to get angry, was even more puzzled.

“What is he doing?” she asked King Hai Luo.

The Heavenly King didn’t pay attention to the people around him. He looked at cell number one and said, “Old Shaggy, what do you think he’s doing?” “Your Majesty, why are you asking me?” Zhuang Yuzhen said calmly.

He didn’t understand either.

But he could sense the calmness of the person as if he were merging with the surrounding aura.

A moment later, the three of them stared at Jiang Hao.

Zhuang Yuzhen watched carefully. At this moment, although Jiang Hao was attempting to integrate with the surroundings, it was not going smoothly.

It seemed that his state of mind was insufficient. There was a kind of confusion and incomprehension in the surroundings.

“It must be because of the Lawless Tower,” he muttered to himself.

“Although there’s no pressure here, it’s a fool’s errand for a Golden Core Realm cultivator to see peace here,” said Nangong Yue. The Heavenly King just looked at Nangong Yue mockingly. “I’ll give you a friendly piece of advice. Don’t be too confident.” “Bah!” She sneered.

After a while, Jiang Hao opened his eyes. He had failed.

He found that it was really difficult to sense the extension without actively focusing on the Lawless Tower.

However, if he stared at Nangong Yue long enough, she would start scolding him.

If she yelled at him, his focus would be broken.

It was not what he wanted.

‘I can only gradually overcome the influence of the Lawless Tower.’

After that, he got up and left. He headed back to guard the mountain gate.

Before leaving, he glanced at the Heaven Lock Scroll in the corner. The contents were somewhat strange.

It was different from what he had seen before..
