nHan Jue and Xing Hongxuan arrived at a deserted corner of the forest. Han Jue felt uneasy, fearing that Xing Hongxuan would make… that request.

nXing Hongxuan turned to look at him with a burning gaze.

nHan Jue didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

nXing Hongxuan smiled and said,

"Don't be nervous. I'm not trying to bother you. I just want to ask you, are you really willing to be a slave in this herbal garden forever?

"

nHan Jue was silent.

nNext, you want me to bow before you and become your toy?

nXing Hongxuan took a step forward and whispered into his ear,

"Help me do something. I will help you cultivate and rid you of your mortal identity.

"

n

"What is it?

"

nXing Hongxuan opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out. However, Han Jue heard her clearly.

n

"Help me obtain Elder Iron's alchemy recipe. I will bring you along when I leave the Jade Pure Sect and we will head to the Fiendish Cult. I will treat you well in the future. Under me, you will not suffer at all. If you have the aptitude and achieve good cultivation, we can even become companions.

"

nSound transmission!

nHan Jue widened his eyes.

nThis woman is actually a fiendish cultivator!

nHan Jue had no idea what to do.

nThis was no joke. If he agreed, he would offend the entire Jade Pure Sect.

nIf he refused, Xing Hongxuan would never let him leave the forest.

nElder Iron wasn't here. This was only the outer sect of the Jade Pure Sect. No one would respond even if he shouted his lungs out.

nXing Hongxuan didn't rush him. She walked around Han Jue and waited patiently.

nHan Jue was weighing his chances of winning against Xing Hongxuan.

nThey were both at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement realm. Without magic and equipment, how could he defeat Xing Hongxuan?

nI can't resort to brute force.

nHan Jue pretended to be terrified and said,

"I don't know where that thing is. Moreover, Zhang Ge is there…

"

nXing Hongxuan looked satisfied. The fact that Han Jue didn't mention the alchemy recipe meant that he was smart.

n

"It's alright. I still have time. I can wait for you,

" Xing Hongxuan said with a smile.

nShe took out a pill and said,

"This pill can help you unlock your cultivation potential. Take it, this is my greeting gift.

"

nHan Jue looked at the pill. It looked like chocolate.

nIt was definitely poison!

nNot able to refuse, Han Jue placed it in his mouth.

nBut he wrapped the pill with his spirit Qi to prevent it from melting.

nAfter swallowing it, Han Jue opened his mouth and deliberately showed it to Xing Hongxuan. He then said excitedly,

"Thank you, fairy-like miss! I will do my best!

"

nDamn it!

nWait for me to cultivate for another year and I will let you know how formidable I am!

nIt was impossible for Han Jue to join the Fiendish Cult just like that.

nHe wanted to live forever, not a risky life.

nXing Hongxuan covered her mouth and smiled. She reached out to touch Han Jue's cheek and said with a smile,

"You're so sensible. Be good. I will groom you as my husband in the future.

"

nHan Jue showed excitement.

nBut he was actually disgusted.

nStupid bitch, do you think you are worthy of me?

nXing Hongxuan rubbed his face for a while more before the two of them returned to the herb garden.

nThe male cultivator looked at Han Jue suspiciously, frowning.

nXing Hongxuan smiled mysteriously and continued her cultivation.

nAs Han Jue walked into the herb garden, lines of words suddenly appeared before his eyes.

nYou were threatened by the fiendish cultivator Xing Hongxuan. You have the following choices.

n1

n1

nEh?

nI can even be rewarded?

nNice!

nHan Jue's eyes lit up.

nHe was even more determined to not listen to her.

n…

nNight fell…

nHan Jue returned to the room and activated the barrier function.

nHe then spat out the pill in his stomach and placed it in his belt.

nThen, he walked to the wooden bed and sat down. He took out a steamed bun and started eating.

nHe had already abstained from eating ordinary meals, but to not cause suspicion, he had to pretend to eat.

nIt was late at night.

nAfter the five slaves had fallen asleep, Han Jue continued to cultivate.

nGiven his cultivation potential, it wouldn't be difficult for him to surpass Xing Hongxuan.

nFor the next few days, Han Jue worked as usual.

nZhang Ge had been cultivating in Elder Iron's residence, giving Han Jue an excuse to not enter.

nXing Hongxuan seemed to be in no hurry.

nIn the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

n…

nHan Jue broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm, and all four of his spiritual roots reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm.

nIt was worth mentioning that his lifespan had also increased by twenty years, making him overjoyed.

nThe feeling of having his spiritual Qi rapidly grow was truly wonderful.

nOn the other hand, Xing Hongxuan and Elder Iron hadn't progressed in their cultivation at all.

nThis was the difference between a genius and a mortal.

nHan Jue was secretly pleased.

nIndeed, one had to endure loneliness to become stronger.

nIf he had started cultivating as a mortal from the very beginning, he might not even have reached the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm yet.

nThat night.

nHan Jue heard footsteps outside the door. He immediately lay down and closed the barrier.

n

"I'm going to lure Zhang Ge away. You can go in and look for the item later.

"

nXing Hongxuan's voice reached Han Jue's ears.

nHe opened his eyes and hurriedly got up.

nDamn.

nI still can't run away from it.

nHan Jue waited patiently.

nHe, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, had already obtained a divine sense, and his normal senses were also extraordinary.

nHe could faintly hear the sound of tables and chairs colliding in the distant pavilion.

n

"You can go now.

"

nXing Hongxuan's voice flowed into his ear. Then, Han Jue sensed Xing Hongxuan and Zhang Ge rushing away from the roof.

nHan Jue quietly got up and prepared to put on a show.

nAfter carefully leaving the house, he looked towards the entrance of the herb garden and discovered that the male cultivator had fallen under a tree. He couldn't tell if the guy was dead or alive.

n

"What a weak guy.

"

nHan Jue couldn't help but ridicule him.

nHe headed for the pavilion.

nElder Iron's pavilion was two stories high, just like the villa. It was grand and magnificent, filled with all kinds of porcelain and paintings. After Han Jue entered the house, he began to wander around.

nHe didn't put in any effort at all.

nEven if there was something he wanted, he had no place to keep it.

nAfter sitting for half an hour, Han Jue got up and continued to rummage through the drawers. He had to at least put on an act.

nAnother half an hour passed.

nXing Hongxuan returned.

nShe rushed into the room and found him.

"Have you found it?

"

nStanding beside a vase, Han Jue turned around and said,

"I couldn't find it. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

"

nAll of a sudden, he noticed that Xing Hongxuan was covered in blood.

nHad she killed Zhang Ge?

nHan Jue retreated subconsciously and accidentally knocked over the vase on the table.

nPing—

nThe vase fell to the floor and shattered.

nHan Jue saw a manual appearing in the broken vase with two words carved on it.

nAlchemy recipe.

nSilence!

nThe room was so quiet that a dropping needle would have been heard.

nHan Jue was stunned and felt extremely awkward.

nErm…

nDamn it!

nIs this how Elder Iron hides his things?

nXing Hongxuan shifted her gaze from the alchemy recipe to him. It looked as if there was a bottomless abyss in her eyes.

nHan Jue said in surprise,

"He actually hid it in a vase. This old man really knows how to hide things!

"
