Inside the courtyard of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, a young man sat at the highest spot.

He was explaining the path of alchemy and occasionally touched upon the path of cultivation.

The listeners gathered below were mostly disciples from various branches. Their cultivation realms were decent, but their talents were not that exceptional. To make further progress, they needed someone to teach them diligently.

The senior disciple before them was undoubtedly doing just that.

“Junior Sister Xiao Lan, although your aura is stable, you’ve been unable to make a breakthrough for a while. It’s not due to your lack of talent, but because there is a hidden problem within you.”

As he spoke, he took out a pill and handed it to her.

“Take this and consume it. It won’t be long before you can attempt a breakthrough. However, you must be extremely cautious. Even if someone guides you through the process, success in cultivation relies entirely on the individual. Don’t rush it.”

The woman who had been listening below was shocked. She accepted the pill and expressed her gratitude.

As the lecture came to an end, the audience reluctantly departed.

The man seated at the top, who had been gentle and warm, now appeared indifferent. It was as though nothing could stir his emotions.

“How is the investigation going?” he suddenly asked.

“We haven’t found anything concrete, but his behavior does match.” A man appeared in the corner of the courtyard.

“We spread the information about the Blood Wish Path. Initially, I merely intended to use him as a scapegoat, but he seems to have reversed the roles. He made more people willingly sacrifice their blood for him. For a moment, I couldn’t comprehend whether he was a practitioner of the Blood Wish Path or not. There is also another force working in the background, clearly leveraging this reputation. If it’s him, then we need to be cautious,” the man said in concern.

“No matter what, his strength is real. If you want to devour him, Senior Brother Qian Chen, it won’t be difficult.’

The man lurking in the corner of the courtyard said, “If he practices the Blood Wish Path, he will be a great supplement for me. If he doesn’t, he’s still a delicious morsel.”

“Do we continue the investigation?”

“Let’s continue. We’ll see when he advances. If he does so in the next year or two, he’s most likely a practitioner of the Blood Wish Path… A very talented one at that. Then, we will need his assistance when the seniors of the sect go out. However, we must find a way to enter Devil’s Den. We’ll have to wait for the next sect mission.”

“What do you plan to do with the Blood Pool, Senior Brother Qian Chen?”

“Let’s go to the northern region. We founded our own sect, so there’s no need to stay in this place. The Southern region appears calm on the surface, but there are hidden undercurrents.”

“Okay, we will follow your orders, Senior Brother Qian Chen.”

“If there’s any change in Jiang Hao’s cultivation realm soon, let me know. I will contact him, but the rest of you need to be patient.”

“Understood.”

After the shadowy figure in the corner disappeared, Qian Chen finally looked up at the sky and let out a deep sigh. No one knew what he was thinking.

At the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao readily accepted Han Ming’s challenge.

This duel was a long-awaited event, not only for Han Ming but also for Jiang

Hao.

After returning, he had been waiting for Han Ming to become a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Han Ming didn’t disappoint.

“Senior Brother Jiang, did you go out recently?” Han Ming asked.

“Yes. As you suggested, I went out to hone my skills. However, the effect was minimal. It was nowhere near as good as what you’ve achieved,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

He had no ill feelings toward Han Ming. Despite the constant challenges, Han Ming always acknowledged his defeat without any resentment. He had never made any underhanded moves.

Han Ming was an excellent junior.

Furthermore, his talent was extraordinary, and he had matured with age. He excelled in various fields.

Han Ming sneered. “Where do you want to have our duel?”

“Let’s go somewhere more isolated,” Jiang Hao said.

They quickly arrived near the wooden house.

“Here will do,” Jiang Hao said.

“Alright, I won’t hold back.” Han Ming firmly grasped the hilt of his sword.

He had already pictured this many times, and this sword had been kept secret for a long time.

Based on past experiences, his victory or defeat would likely be determined in the first move. Losing the first exchange would mean failure.

Thus, he created a remarkable sword technique that would make Jiang Hao realize the danger of relying on luck.

“I’m going to attack,” Han Ming said as a warning.

“Come on.” Jiang Hao nodded.

The Half-Moon Blade was already in his hand.

However, in the next moment, Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes.

Han Ming’s aura suddenly surged forward with the power of thunder.

In that instant, he saw a breathtakingly brilliant sword technique.

Clang!

The sword and the blade clashed. In the blink of an eye, Han Ming appeared behind Jiang Hao.

His sword was still in his hand, but his arm was dripping with blood.

Jiang Hao’s grip on his sword had resulted in a small crack.

A few strands of hair had fallen from his head.

Staring at the fallen hair, Jiang Hao was filled with shock and realized that he had been too serious in this fight.

He had nearly struck too hard.

Even though Jiang Hao was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, if he had attacked too forcefully, it could have been extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, the injury was minor.

Han Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“You’re truly extraordinary, Junior Brother Han Ming.” Jiang Hao turned around.

Being considered for the position of a top disciple was no trivial matter. He was the most hardworking and talented person Jiang Hao had ever seen.

Jiang Hao had no concept of how others performed, but Han Ming had grown under his watch. He had witnessed every stage of Han Ming’s journey.

Han Ming grasped the sword and looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief. “Middle stage of the Golden Core Realm?”contemporary romance

“I just got lucky,” Jiang Hao said modestly.

Han Ming looked at him bitterly, but he quickly regained his determination.

Then, he turned and left.

Jiang Hao watched him silently.

Han Ming didn’t need his help. He was a person who could walk his own path.

He had a bright future ahead of him.

At that moment, Jiang Hao had officially reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

The next step was to see when Han Ming would advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden.

After attending to his tasks, he inquired about Chu Chuan’s whereabouts.

It had been a while since he last paid attention to him, and it was time to check

up on mm.

Perhaps, in a few more years, he would be ready.

“Why are you looking for Chu Chuan today, Senior Brother?” asked Xiao Li in a hushed tone.

“I just want to check on him,” Jiang Hao said. “Is there something wrong?”

“He was beaten to a pulp by Xiao Li this morning,” said the spirit beast while munching on a carrot.

Jiang Hao nodded. He wasn’t surprised.

However, when he saw Chu Chuan, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

At this moment, Chu Chuan lay on the bed. It seemed as though his bones were broken.

He turned to Xiao Li and noticed she was looking outside with the spirit beast cradled to her chest.

“What happened to Chu Chuan?” Jiang Hao asked.

“He said that you, Master, don’t have a lady. Xiao Li said you did have a Senior

Sister by your side. Xiao Li was upset. They started arguing. And then, Chu Chuan suggested fighting to determine who was right. Then, this happened,” said the spirit beast.

At this point, Chu Chuan looked at Jiang Hao. He couldn’t even move a finger.

Jiang Hao was speechless..
