THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR

161: What Will You Gain from Nurturing a Dragon?

In the garden, Xiao Li stood silently looking at his feet. He looks sad.

Cheng Chou was shocked. Young Sister Xiao Li was not afraid of anything, except Jiang Hao. Even when she visited the park when Miao Tinglian was leading the way, she never looked like this.

Cheng Chou only saw Xiao Li being mature and well-behaved in his home. He was afraid that the two elders were too old. So, he won't cause any trouble. He didn't even want to eat too much because he felt it might not be enough for them.

Jiang Hao looked at Xiao Li. "Have you eaten?"

Xiao Li nodded.

“I heard lately you are not serious in studying and cultivating,” said Jiang Hao.

“Ya,” Xiao Li said in a small voice.

“Come,” call Jiang Hao.

“Master, I'm here.” The spirit beast leaped onto Xiao Li's shoulder.

“I have a mission for both of you,” said Jiang Hao calmly. “There are new disciples in the outer sect. His name is Chu Chuan. You need to check it every week.”

“How do we test it?” Xiao Li asked.

“Use your fist,” said Jiang Hao.

“I'm good at it.” Xiao Li was very excited.

The spirit beast raised its head arrogantly. “Finally, Master will tell people about my greatness!”

Jiang Hao ignored them and had Cheng Chou follow them every week to watch over them.

It was almost the end of the year. Jiang Hao looked at Xiao Li.

“Remember to progress in the next two months. I'll have Cheng Chou send you home in a few months.”

Xiao Li jumped.

Jiang Hao ignored them and began to take care of the spirit herbs.

Except for the simple pavilion, everything had changed.

He walked to the area where the Hundred Bone Forest planted their spirit herbs and observed them closely. He realized his aura was a little chaotic.

Spiritual energy is entangled and cannot be released normally.

'Seems like Senior Brother Miao knows about the Spirit Sealing Technique. Is he trying to help me?' asked Jiang Hao.

Miao Tinglian had always treated him well. She thanked him because he had helped her reunite with Mu Qi.

That small act was enough to repay the favor he had done for her by bringing her to the sect. He doesn't have to get out of his way. Jiang Hao realized this. He had been in the demon sect for too long, and he knew that expecting others to return the favor had never gone well.

During the day, Jiang Hao headed to the cafeteria of the outer sect. He wanted to know why the staff wanted to see him. Xiao Li followed him.

When they entered the cafeteria, he heard people whispering. "He's here! Eat fast!”

“Put it in your bowl. Junior sister Xiao Li did not take food from the bowl.”

Jiang Hao watched them. He realized that they were busy trying to protect their food. It was as if they were facing a great enemy, and they needed to protect their possessions as best they could.

[Xiao Li: The dragon was severely injured by the Heavenly Thunder. He lost his memory and power. He was now an outer sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect. He was still growing as a dragon, so he needed to eat more than before.]

The food given to an outer sect disciple was not enough for a dragon.

Jiang Hao felt helpless. Dragons are not easy to maintain.

“Sister senior Jiang,” said a young man. He was Feng Yang, the inner sect disciple of the Broken Heart Cliff. He was in charge of the cafeteria.

Xiao Li was very disturbing to them. However, he always mentioned the name of the spirit beast when visiting the cafeteria. Thus, they all assumed that he was the disciple that Jiang Hao valued. No one wanted to offend an inner sect disciple, so they let him do as he pleased.

The management intended to visit Jiang Hao regarding this matter, but he was not yet within the sect. They plan to visit him in a few days. They had not expected Jiang Hao to come directly to the cafeteria.

“Young Brother Feng,” said Jiang Hao politely. “I heard that Young Brother Xiao Li has been troubling you a lot. I'm sorry for his behavior.”

“Senior Brother Jiang, you are too polite,” said Feng Yang with great difficulty. “Only... lately many people have complained..”.

Not many people from the Broken Heart Cliff were assigned in the various departments. Usually, only tough students get that chance, and they are always watched by the Cliff himself.

“Junior sister Xiao Li is still in her infancy, so her appetite is a little big,” said Jiang Hao. “Can you prepare a meal that contains a lot of life blood for him? I will forbid him to take food from others.”

“Food with sufficient Life Blood essence?” Feng Yang frowned. Such food is too expensive. This will increase their spending and may result in losses.

“You don't need to worry about money.” Jiang Hao handed thirty spirit stones to him. “I will pay it once a month. Please use this spirit stone to prepare nutritious food for him. If the spirit stone is left after dispensing, you can save it.”

“Thirty spirit stones?!” Feng Yang looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief.

He had only received twenty spirit stones per month as someone at the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, this senior was willing to spend so much money to feed his junior!

It's unbelievable. He can't refuse.

The problem is solved. Xiao Li would be given a more delicious and filling meal.

Jiang Hao forbade him from taking food from others in the cafeteria.

If he acted rashly, he would probably cause trouble.

Fortunately, the people in the cafeteria were easy to talk to.

Jiang Hao sighed as he left the cafeteria. He had already raised a spirit beast, the Eternal Peach Tree, and now a dragon. All of these things require a lot of spirit stones.

At least the peach tree had a chance to turn into an Eternal Peach Tree after nine incarnations. He can get nine bubbles from her. That spirit beast had just caused trouble, but even he could be released after his bloodline had completely awakened. As for Xiao Li, he did not see any benefit from nurturing the dragon.

He could only try his best to help her. Otherwise, he would probably cause too much trouble.

“Do you feel so hungry?” asked Jiang Hao.

“Eating more will help you grow taller,” Xiao Li said. “My parents want to see me grow tall.”

Jiang Hao was at a loss for words. He didn't say anything else. Both of his adoptive parents did not live long.

He asked Cheng Chou to bring Xiao Li and the spirit beast to see Cheng Chou.

When he returned to the Spirit Potion Garden, he saw the outer sect disciples causing a commotion.

“The spirit banquet was prepared by a senior
