Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1350: A Simple Exchange with the Top Disciple 10, Hope No Holding Back_2

Jiang Hao led the three people and stepped forward.

He did not get too close.

The four leading figures were all three meters tall; getting too close would require looking up.

“I presume you are the esteemed guests from the Giant Spirit Clan,” Jiang Hao slightly raised his head to look at the four people before him and said,

“I am Jiang Hao, the Senior Brother of Heavenly Note Sect, specially here to receive you distinguished guests.

“Behind me are three fellow disciples of our sect…”

Jiang Hao introduced them one by one.

After that, he made a gesture of invitation and said, “Honored guests, please come inside.”

In the course of their conversation, Jiang Hao only then learned—

The four arrivals were: Zhong Liguang, at the early stage of Soul Ascension Realm; the muscular man named Zhong Huoming; the Giant Spirit woman named Zhong Yuling; and the thin Giant Spirit man named Zhong Wencai.

On the way, the muscular Zhong Huoming said with a grin, “Fellow disciple Jiang, aren’t you keeping a bit too much distance from us?”

Jiang Hao replied calmly, “The presence emanating from your esteemed self is too formidable, I truly cannot afford to get too close.”

“I thought it was because humans are short in stature and, driven by pride, do not wish to look up at us,” said the muscular Zhong Huoming with a chuckle.

Jiang Hao smiled faintly in response, “The guest jests, although the guest is formidable, it is not to the extent that we need to look up.”

“Should our height difference be a trouble, we could simply levitate to maintain an equal height with our guests.

“Indeed, being too tall can be a disadvantage, but we do not discriminate against those who are tall.”

The flat tone of Jiang Hao’s voice pierced into the hearts of the Giant Spirit Clan like a thorn.

What does he mean by not discriminating against the tall?

What was he saying?

“Oh, really?” Zhong Huoming, the burly giant, said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

He released his aura at once, resembling the aura of Immortal Ascension yet seeming to surpass it, pouring down like a torrential downpour.

Feeling the vast aura, Jiang Hao’s brows slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, the burly giant Zhong Huoming said, “Sorry about that, our Giant Spirit Clan is just like this, the aura accompanies us, surely it won’t startle any of you, right?”

Although he apologized, there was a hint of smugness in his tone.

Just then, Nie Jin came next to Jiang Hao and waved his hand casually, dispersing an aura similar to that of Immortal Ascension yet different.

No matter what, the aura belonging to the Giant Spirit Clan was directly neutralized by him.

With this, Nie Jin then said, “It’s no big issue, such trivialities do not even warrant our Senior Brother Jiang to give a sidelong glance.”

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of several giants did not look too good.

But none of them spoke up.

When they arrived at the specially prepared residence, Jiang Hao pointed to a spot and said:

“I wonder which of you guests can make decisions?”

In front of a slightly larger table and chairs, Jiang Hao jumped to the highest position, where there was a long chair, and he sat down.

Opposite him was the place for the Giant Spirit Clan.

Neither was higher than the other.

A conversation as equals.

The muscular Zhong Huoming took his seat and said, “I can make decisions, but can you, fellow disciple?”

“Naturally,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“I did not expect the Senior Brother of Heavenly Note Sect to hold such authority,” Zhong Huoming said in surprise.

“Indeed, after all, there are fewer Senior Brothers than elders,” Jiang Hao replied.

“Then let’s get down to business,” Zhong Huoming looked at Jiang Hao and said,

“Our visit this time is to seek cooperation, and of course, we will offer earnest sincerity.”

“What kind of sincerity?” Jiang Hao asked.

Zhong Huoming clapped his hands, and then the Giant Spirit fairy guard Zhong Yuling placed seven stones beside Jiang Hao.

“Does Senior Brother Jiang recognize these items?” Zhong Yuling asked, with a touch of arrogance.

Jiang Hao looked over, then the Daily Appraisal revolved in his eyes.

Appraisal.

[One of the Seven-Colored Stones – Red Stone: It contains the power of the Great Dao, capable of comprehending the Dao energy, and body cultivators nearing it can temper their bodies. It is possible to realize divine light through cultivation, being one of the divine item fragments of the Giant Spirit Clan. Once the seven pieces of Seven-Colored Stone are gathered together, they can emit the opportunity of the Great Dao. Once the opportunity is absorbed, a slave seal of the Giant Spirit Clan will be planted.]

Jiang Hao, observing the feedback from the Daily Appraisal, was quite surprised.

It was actually a divine item used by the Giant Spirit Clan for subjugating servants.

However, he wasn’t too worried and simply said, “I believe this is a divine item from the Giant Spirit Clan, the Seven-Colored Stone.”

Upon hearing this, all four people of the Giant Spirit Clan were slightly taken aback.

Then Zhong Huoming chuckled, “Senior Brother Jiang really is well-informed. It’s just that I wonder whether Senior Brother Jiang is aware of the function of this divine item.”

“It can emit the opportunities of the Great Dao, even a single stone has the divine light, which is of great benefit to body cultivators,” Jiang Hao casually replied.

This surprised the Giant Spirit Clan even more.

Nie Jin and the others were also shocked.

They then began to speak, “Our Senior Brother Jiang is knowledgeable, understands the past and the future, and nothing divine is mysterious in his eyes.”

“Our elders have always said that humans are the protagonists of the era; we used to be skeptical, but now we must believe,” Zhong Liguang, who was at the early stage of Soul Ascension Realm and had been silent, exclaimed in astonishment.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly, “I’ve just read a bit more than others, nothing special. Being the protagonist of the era is meant for the chosen ones. I am just an ordinary top disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect. In this grand world, I am no different from an ant.”

Zhong Huoming laughed, “Since Senior Brother Jiang knows about this divine item, we can rest assured. Does this show our sincerity?”

Jiang Hao nodded, “Certainly.”

“This is for us?” Fairy guard Nan Qing asked in surprise.

“Yes, this is to show our sincerity in seeking cooperation with your esteemed sect. We sincerely wish to work together,” Zhong Huoming said earnestly.

Jiang Hao was quite moved, “Ah, such divine items are indeed a proof of your sincerity. It is only right to work together as long as it’s possible.”

Nie Jin and the others frowned. This divine item was by no means ordinary.

Would the Giant Spirit Clan give away such a thing if they were foolish?

Clearly not.

This indicated a conspiracy.

At that moment, Jiang Hao then asked, “May I know what kind of cooperation you guests are intending to achieve?”

“Three points,” Zhong Huoming smiled:

“First, since our clan has just awakened and lacks a place to settle, we wish to send our young talents to your sect, certainly not too many, just a quarter of the youngsters.

They would only be here to learn.

Once we find a place to settle, they can be taken back.

Second, we hope to gain recognition of the southern region from your esteemed sect, which means information about the southern region, alongside some cultivation methods and alchemy techniques.

Mainly to integrate into the grand world and secure a future for ourselves.

Third, it is for the sake of our young boys.”

Saying this, he looked towards Zhong Liguang.

“For him?” Jiang Hao asked, somewhat surprised, “What’s wrong with him?”

Zhong Liguang said seriously, “He has been injured and his cultivation has been suppressed; he needs to compete with someone of greater cultivation strength.

If it’s done in order, he can break through the suppression and gradually recover his cultivation.

So, I hope your sect can arrange for corresponding disciples to have matches with our fine young man.

Of course, we will provide compensation whether you win or lose.

But there is one thing you need to be aware of, the blades and swords have no eyes; some injuries might occur.

However, we assure you there won’t be any life-threatening danger.”

No life-threatening danger, does that mean there’s a possibility of crippling someone? Jiang Hao thought to himself.

At that time, Nie Jin and the others furrowed their brows again.

So, there’s an issue with this early-stage Soul Ascension Realm individual; he wants to suppress the talented disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect.

Maybe even cripple the talented disciples.

Wanting to make a show of force?

They were about to speak up, suggesting Jiang Hao reconsider their strategy.

However, Jiang Hao spoke first, “Is the strength supposed to surpass by one minor realm, or two?”

“We’ll start with two at first, that should provide some pressure, and then we will go one by one,” Zhong Lihuo replied.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao nodded earnestly, “Actually, our esteemed guest is at the early-stage of Soul Ascension Realm, which means finding someone at the peak of Return to Void Realm.

Purely coincidentally, I am at the middle stage.

So, I can agree to this matter right away, perhaps we can first have a match.

I wonder what compensation you guests are considering.”

Hearing this, they were overjoyed. The one they wanted to cripple was your top disciple.

“What is Senior Brother Jiang lacking?” Zhong Huoming asked earnestly.

Jiang Hao smiled, “Actually, I lack nothing thanks to my sect, but I enjoy helping others. Let’s just use the simplest spirit stones.”

“Good,” Zhong Huoming nodded, “When can we start?”

“How about now,” Jiang Hao said.

Hearing that, they grew even happier.

At this time, Zhong Liguang stepped forward and said, “Although I have been weakened, I hope Fellow Disciple Jiang won’t hold back.”

Jiang Hao nodded earnestly, “Okay.”
