Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1133  The One I Hate the Most Right Now Is You (1) 

The backyard of the Astronomical Academy was a very mysterious place for the students of the academy.

Ordinary students had no chance of entering the place.

Even some outstanding students might not be able to enter it.

If they manage to do so, they might suffer for it.

Yan Yuezhi had been there many times, but she still felt that it was best not to go there.

Under the moonlight, she stopped at the threshold of the backyard.

She recalled the last time she had been here and sighed warily.

She hoped that nothing unexpected would happen this time.

However, just as she was about to get close, the threshold suddenly distorted in space.

Soon after, new doors appeared.

In the blink of an eye, nine doors surrounded her.

Yan Yuezhi was usually a calm and composed person. This time, she was stunned. She did not expect so many doors to appear.

In her confusion, she chose a door and walked in.

When she entered it, she saw eight more doors. The one she had stepped through was behind her.

She had arrived where she had begun.

Yan Yuezhi took her chances and walked through one door after the other. The same thing happened every time.

When she chose the sixth door, the threshold seemed to move back a step.

She found it!

Time passed very quickly. The starry night was replaced by a red, rising sun in a moment of distraction.

Yan Yuezhi walked into the backyard wearily.

Even when she had found the right door, she still had to work a lot to enter it.

Fortunately, her hard work paid off.

After entering through the door, she went through another test.

It was already noon when she finished the test and found the three old men.

At that moment, Jing Dajiang and the other two were not lounging in chairs and drinking tea like they usually did.

She walked to them and sat down. She intertwined her fingers and rested her elbows on the table.

"Greetings, gentlemen," Yan Yuezhi said.

Jing Dajiang sighed. "You know what? I used to be so annoyed whenever the Sect Master came for a visit. Now, that has changed." He looked at her. "Today, you have surpassed the Sect Master in your capacity to frustrate me. I feel like I'd rather see the Sect Master than you any day. Think about that."

Yan Yuezhi lowered her head. "You are right, Senior."

"If you understand that, just go back," said Jing Dajiang.

"I have something to tell you," Yan Yuezhi said politely.

Jing Dajiang laughed out loud. "Alright then. You don't feel happy until you give us something difficult to do, right? How many times has it been so far?"

Yan Yuezhi lowered her head and remained silent.

"What do you want to tell me?" Jing Dajiang asked.

"I heard that the North is in chaos," Yan Yuezhi said.

Jing Dajiang's frown seemed to soften. "That's alright. You're sensible in delivering news now. Chaos is just that. It's not like the North is gone."

"I heard that a Corpse Ancestor is still in the West and has an avatar," Yan Yuezhi said.

"Very well, let's talk about the chaos in the North." Jing Dajiang smiled.

He pretended like he had not heard about the Corpse Ancestor.

The other party was defeated last time, but who knew what he planned? He would return sooner or later.

It was not a wise move to provoke him.

If he did not know about it, he could enjoy living in ignorance.

Their top priority was to find Senior Gu first.

Yan Yuezhi did not hesitate and explained the general situation in the North.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Hao slammed a fist on the table and jumped up.

Yan Yuezhi watched them leave.

"The Mountain Sea Sword Sect is a sect that works alongside us to suppress the Heavenly Pearls. If they are in trouble, how can we ignore them? Let's head North."

Just as they were about to leave, they looked at Yan Yuezhi. "We'll head North. Anything else will have to wait until we get back. If it's an urgent matter, just go and see the Sect Master."

Then, the three of them disappeared.

Yan Yuezhi watched them leave.

After a moment of silence, she turned around and left too.

She planned to look for the Heavenly Corpse Pill.

She had heard news about the Corpse Clan, so she might be able to find it.

It was fine if she could not find it. She just had to do her best.

...

At that moment, Jiang Hao was still cleaning the treasures.

Some of the treasures at the back were dust-free, but fortunately, there was a lot of rust on them. White bubbles appeared as he cleaned.

There were also some green ones.

It was a shame that he did not find any blue bubbles until the next day.

On the third day, he had been wiping the treasures clean until afternoon when he came across a strange object that looked like a miniature screen.

It was indeed a screen.

It was a relic from about three thousand years ago, and the forging method had never been passed down.

After wiping it clean, the screen looked much better. Some of the rust on it had disappeared.

Then, blue bubbles appeared.

[Cultivation +1]

[Cultivation +1]

'Two blue bubbles at once?' Jiang Hao was stunned.

He did not need to think to know what was hidden inside.

He just continued to wipe it clean.

He did not care too much about it.

However, there were no bubbles the second time.

It was not very big, so he could only wipe the treasure five times to get it clean.

Finally, another bubble appeared.

[Lifeblood +1]

'Three blue bubbles! Five blue bubbles in three days! That's quite something…' He thought.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. It was better than mining.

After making a note of it, he continued to wipe the treasures clean.

There were still many objects here. Perhaps he could advance to the third stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform soon.

He was cleaning them as fast as he could, but the progress was not that fast when he thought of the numerous objects in the warehouse.

Two bubbles appeared in the next two days.

Jiang Hao glanced at his interface.

[Lifeblood: 90/100 (can be cultivated)]

[Cultivation: 94/100 (can be cultivated)]

"If everything goes well, I'll be able to advance in about ten days."

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry. Instead, he composed himself and wiped them bit by bit.
