Chapter 411: A Palm Technique Used Only by Couples

Hong Yuye got up. She didn’t seem to mind Jiang Hao’s mouthful of lies.

She walked all the way to the hall and went up to the second floor.

Finally, she arrived at Jiang Hao’s table and gazed at the talisman-making tools.

“Draw a talisman,” she said. “I want to see how you do it.”

Jiang Hao followed her without thinking much and started making the talisman.

It was the more challenging Ten Thousand Swords Talisman.

After days of practice, he was different from before.

His strokes were balanced and forceful. Each stroke was distinctive and imbued with power.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

When he finished, Hong Yuye took the talisman to inspect it. She then moved to the balcony.

“How long has it been since you slept?” she asked.

Jiang Hao was surprised at the question. Had he been poisoned again without his knowledge?

Considering the dense spiritual energy in the courtyard, he felt that he might have been poisoned in some other way.

“It’s been a while,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye turned to look at him. “Single-mindedly pursuing something can easily damage your lifeblood.”

Jiang Hao was taken aback.

At this moment, Hong Yuye began to fade.

“You’ve been servmg me watery tea tor a long time. It It’S still tne same next time, come drink at my place,” Hong Yuye said mockingly.O

She then completely vanished.

Jiang Hao didn’t even know where Hong Yuye lived. But he knew going there would be dangerous.

He understood all of this, but… “What about my talisman?”

He began adjusting his state.

“Damage of the lifeblood?” He hadn’t noticed that.

Perhaps he should try sleeping.

Hong Yuye wouldn’t harm him. At least not yet.

He had enough value even if he was weak.

If she wanted to kill him, she wouldn’t have let him thrive this long.

He trusted Hong Yuye more than others.

However, as he grew stronger, everything would become complicated.

He needed to keep some hidden trump cards. Something that no one else could fathom. Maybe some divine artifact.

These things took time to cultivate. There was no need to rush.

“First, identify the condition and see what kind of palm this is.”

Jiang Hao looked at the crimson palm on his chest. He was somewhat concerned.

He appraised it.

[Status: Afflicted by the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison and Hong Yuye’s One Heart Palm. The One Heart Palm is difficult to dissolve. It can only be used by couples in a relationship. The one who uses the palm can travel across s.p.a.ce to the recipient of the palm through a special method.]

Jiang Hao was stunned.

It meant that Hong Yuye could only use it on him. If he wanted to learn it, he could only use it on her! o

‘It’s similar to the golden rings, but somehow entirely different… Why would Hong Yuye use it on me?’

Maybe because he would head to the east soon, and she would find it hard to locate him.

If he was far enough away, it would be extremely difficult to find him.

After all, the distance was too great. Even Hong Yuye’s strength might not cross such a distance.

Jiang Hao thought that the possibility was very high and kept this in mind for possible use in the future.

Of course, he had to guard against deliberate use by her.

He needed to make sure of it.

This palm technique wouldn’t cause any harm to him, so he didn’t care much.

Instead, he lay down on the bed and tried to sleep.

The next day, when he woke up, he felt much more alert.

There wasn’t a significant change, but his state of mind did seem better.

‘It seems I’ll need to sleep occasionally in the future.’

Daily cultivation and talisman-making might not be enough.

He went to the courtyard and looked at the surrounding spiritual energy. He had thought that Bai Ye had done something under the cover of night. ‘It’s been a while since I last went to take a look. I should go again.’ That night, Jiang Hao went to the Hundred Bones Forest.

However, he returned quickly.

Bai Ye was still in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and his injuries were severe.

Jiang Hao could only give up for now and continue observing.

There was no news from Senior Brother Qian Chen.

The deaths of Junior Sister Yu Xuan and Senior Brother Bai Ji didn’t seem to have caught his attention.

No one had come to question him.

As for Yi Lian, she had come to meet him once.

She apologized to him.

It seemed she was still waiting for Senior Sister Yu Xuan’s return.

Jiang Hao could understand. Yu Xuan had truly treated her well, so it was natural for her to be worried.

However, such kindness sometimes could turn out to be poison.

With a slight misstep, both of them could end up dead from it.

Jiang Hao also occasionally stood up for others.

He might end up like Yu Xuan if he wasn’t careful.

The only way to avoid this was to focus on cultivating.

Apart from these things, there hadn’t been any incidents in the Spirit Herb

Garden.

The whole sect had entered a state of peace.

Things had calmed down significantly.

Jiang Hao was content with this. Occasionally, he would give some pointers to Cheng Chou. When he had time, he went to observe Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi was doing good. Spring turned to autumn, and he repeated the same thing every day. Even when bullied, he tried to protect himself with all his might.

But when faced with his two good friends, he was always reserved and silent.

The gap in their cultivation was too vast.

Those two friends of his visited him less frequently.

Such a gap would lead to differences. Despite their strong friendship, they couldn’t communicate with each other anymore when they were together.

‘Has it changed them?’

Maybe not entirely. They were just different people heading down different paths in life.

The further they go, the harder it would be to communicate with each other.

One doesn’t understand the world of higher realms, while the other can’t grasp the hardships of lower realms.

Lin Zhi might not be handling things perfectly, but he was still persevering.

“He is indeed impressive,” Jiang Hao muttered in praise as he looked from afar.

Half a year had pa.s.sed, and while the other hadn’t made much progress in cultivation, his heart had steadied significantly.

He practiced every day without pause and without losing his determination.

He waited patiently. He would soon break out of the coc.o.o.n like a b.u.t.terfly.

Though he couldn’t see hope yet, he hadn’t given up and was no longer anxious.

It was already September.

Almost a year had pa.s.sed since Xiao Li and the others had left.

Jiang Hao had spent the year peacefully as well.

In a few more months, Xiao Li and the others would arrive at the Bright Moon Sect.

He would go to see them when that time came.

‘I wonder if there’s enough time for another advancement.’

He looked at his interface.

‘I’m nearly thirty years old. Halfway to achieving my cultivation.’

After that, he headed to the Spirit Herb Garden to attend to the spirit herbs. However, as soon as he arrived, a man approached him. “Senior Brother Jiang.” “Uh… Who are you, Junior Brother?” Jiang Hao frowned.

The man’s aura was chaotic, yet there were signs of a breakthrough. He was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

His aura had a faint scent of blood.

This person wasn’t normal. It wasn’t about his ident.i.ty but the cultivation technique he practiced.

“I apologize for troubling you, Senior Brother Jiang. I am Pei Yuan, an inner sect disciple of the Flowing Waterfall. I have come to seek your advice on a few problems relating to my cultivation.”

He even took out fifty spirit stones. They were quite valuable.

“Cultivation problems?” Jiang Hao didn’t accept the spirit stones just yet.

“Yes, I wish to inquire about the Blood Wish Path. It’s quite rare, so I have no choice but to trouble you with my doubts,” Pei Yuan said.

Jiang Hao was taken aback. He had never expected such a thing to happen..
