Chapter 725 - 100,000-Year-Old Spiritual Herbs!
Panda Novel
“A friend of mine who lives in the Demon Sea gave them to me. I ate one and have two left.” Seeing Zhao Kuo’s glaring eyes, Hao Ren immediately explained.
He said that they were gifts from a friend instead of mentioning his new relationship with Zhen Yuan Zi. Otherwise, Zhao Kuo would be more astonished.
“Yeah. Third Uncle, this is good stuff, and I give mine to you!” Zhao Yanzi continued.
She had taken one bite and knew that the fruit was extraordinary, so she decided to give it to Zhao Kuo.
“You’ve lost your dragon core, and this fruit will help you solidify your foundation. You should eat it now!” Zhao Kuo glared at Zhao Yanzi and said to her.
Although the Immortal Fruit, an ultimate treasure, tempted him, he would never take stuff from a junior.
Besides, Zhao Yanzi had lost her dragon core. Even though she was strengthening her body by cultivating the human techniques for the time being, she could have problems anytime. This fruit was a good elixir that could improve her physique.
“Ok…” Subdued by Zhao Kuo’s fierce look, Zhao Yanzi thought that she had offended Zhao Kuo by offering a fruit that she had taken a bite. She immediately ate the remaining Immortal Fruit in several bites.
“I’ll give mine to Third Uncle.” Standing beside them, Xie Yujia presented her intact Immortal Fruit to Zhao Kuo with a smile.
She knew that her poor talent limited her future, and it would be better to give this fruit to Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle than wasting it on herself.
Also, she was grateful that Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle had gone into the Nine Dragon Palace to rescue Hao Ren.
“No!” Zhao Kuo waved his hand in determination. “I, Zhao Kuo, never rely on elixirs in my cultivation!”
After stomping his feet on the ground, he created an energy sphere and shot into the sky.
With the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus as his mystic crystal, he had enough boost in his mind. After his battle with Qiu Niu in the Nine Dragon Palace and the battles with several small demon kings in the Demon Sea, he felt like he was about to break through.
In this situation, it would be humiliating if he took stuff from juniors!
He would cultivate in seclusion in the East Ocean Dragon Clan for a while and then battle with Su Han before charging at the Heavenly Dragon Realm!
Watching Zhao Kuo flying into the distance, Hao Ren turned his gaze to Xie Yujia and said, “You should eat it now.”
“Ok!” Nodding, Xie Yujia ate the Immortal Fruit bite after bite.
The moment that the Immortal Fruit entered her belly, a warmth rose in her as if all the meridians in her body were unblocked.
Hao Ren watched her eat it, afraid that she would offer the fruit to someone else.
Xie Yujia knew Hao Ren’s thoughts. Also, she guessed that the fruits must have been obtained with great efforts despite Hao Ren’s casual words from his eyes.
“Oh. I have an urge to cultivate!” Feeling the same warmth in her body, Zhao Yanzi said to Hao Ren.
While all the acupoints in her body were stimulated, Xie Yujia also felt like she was about to break through. It seemed that the Immortal Fruit could help her reach peak Foundation Establishment Realm and even the Core Formation Realm!
“Little White!” Hao Ren released his spirit senses.
Little White who had been sleeping somewhere suddenly sensed Hao Ren’s call and climbed over a wall.
Only about a dozen days had passed, and Little White’s fur looked whiter and shinier while its body turned slimmer. It almost looked like a white fox.
Now that it had reached level 5, it could change sizes and colors at will.
When it saw Hao Ren, it jumped into his arms and acted as if it were affectionate.
Hao Ren pulled up its ears and made it change into its huge snow lion form in the energy sphere.
As his spirit beast, Little White should have sensed his presence the moment that he returned to East Ocean City from the Demon Sea. However, it had slept in the grass and didn’t show up until Hao Ren called it, which showed that it had faked the affection as a make-up measure.
“Let’s go to Fifth Heaven!” Hao Ren patted Little White’s furry head and pulled Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi up to Little White’s smooth back.
At level 5, Little White’s intelligence had improved, and it could understand Hao Ren’s words. While shooting flames from its paws, it flew up into the high sky.
It had been sulky since Hao Ren had gone on an adventure without it. Feeling deserted and forgotten, Little White thought that Hao Ren just took it as a mount.
It kept on mumbled something as if it were complaining.
“Ok! I’ll bring you next time!” With his mind connected with Little White, Hao Ren sensed its sulkiness and said while rubbing its soft neck.
“Ruff! Ruff…” Little White wriggled its tail cheerfully and flew faster.
“Didn’t Sister Su come back with you?” When Hao Ren didn’t mention Su Han, Xie Yujia couldn’t help asking.
“She’s cultivating in the Demon Sea and will come back in a few days,” Hao Ren said.
“Demon Sea…” Xie Yujia nodded.
Since Lady Zhen was from the Demon Sea, Xie Yujia felt like Su Han must be staying with her while she cultivated in the Demon Sea.
In fact, Xie Yujia wanted to know if Hao Ren and Su Han had got more intimate but didn’t know how to approach the topic.
After all, it was a sudden leap for Hao Ren to jump from Dui-level to Xun-level; he must have gotten help from Su Han.
“I collected some spiritual herbs in the Nine Dragon Palace. You can take a look at them for me to see if they are useful,” Hao Ren touched her forehead and said, cutting off her confused gaze.
“Ok…” Xie Yujia nodded obediently.
She knew that Hao Ren cared for her, but sometimes he was too reserved.
Seeing their loving gestures at each other, Zhao Yanzi curled her lips but remained silent. In fact, she and Xie Yujia both were concerned about Hao Ren. If Hao Ren must choose between them, one of them would get hurt.
On second thought, Zhao Yanzi realized that Xie Yujia wasn’t that bad. Besides, in the past few days, the crown princes from other dragon clans had transferred to study in East Ocean City, and many dragon kings and crown princes had visited her home. She had found that most of the crown princes had more than one wife.
Comparatively, Hao Ren was considerate toward her and cared for her in many things.
Boom! Little White broke through the array formation of Fifth Heaven.
The moment that Hao Ren entered Fifth Heaven, he noticed some unique spirit senses traveling around on Fifth Heaven.
Since he and Su Han had forced the Nine Dragon Palace to show itself on Fifth Heaven, it had attracted the attention of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, making Fifth Heaven the target for the Soul Formation Realm cultivators on Seventh Heaven.
Of course, with Qiu Niu in the Nine Dragon Palace, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators probably couldn’t find the Nine Dragon Palace. Furthermore, they wouldn’t dare venture into the holy place of the Dragon Tribe without good reasons.
Hao Ren directed Little White and avoided those spirit senses and entered Ethereal Summit.
Due to the condensation effect of the array formation, the nature essence in Ethereal Summit was more abundant than before, and the spiritual fields in the valley looked more prosperous.
The dozen snow lion cubs had gotten bigger. Three of them had officially reached level 1 while another one had reached level 2!
Sensing Xie Yujia’s scent, the snow lion cubs trotted over and surrounded her.
“Gongzi!”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had been planting spiritual herbs in the water fields with their pants rolled up. When they saw Hao Ren, they waved and yelled cheerfully.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi had been sleepless with worry, but the Lu sisters were doing better.
Since Hao Ren had attained the Immortal Physique through their Poison Pill Plan, they had rebuilt his meridians with their blood and flesh, establishing a connection between them and Hao Ren. If Hao Ren were in danger, they would receive some vague signals.
If Hao Ren were really in danger, they had a secret way of entering the Nine Dragon Palace, even though it would be quite risky.
Hand in hand, they leaped up and stood before Hao Ren with bare feet.
“Congratulations to Gongzi for reaching mid-tier Xun-level!” They looked him up and down before saying.
From their slightly mysterious smiles, Hao Ren knew that they might have known something about his situation with Su Han and felt embarrassed.
“Gongzi, you’ve encountered special fortunes, and your Immortal Physique is more stable,” Lu Lili leaned toward his ear and whispered.
Hao Ren thought that it would be a shame if his body didn’t experience any changes after eating two Immortal Fruits.
“Gongzi, your Vital Yang Energy is a bit used, but the benefits that you got suppressed the disadvantages,” Lu Linlin whispered in Hao Ren’s other ear.
“Erm-hem! Erm-hem!” Hao Ren cleared his throat.
He had indeed been impulsive in the Nine Dragon Palace, but it would be a lie if he said that he had no thought about Su Han.
There was no man who didn’t like Su Han, but most of them just admired her beauty. Only Hao Ren loved her personality and even cherished her after getting to know her better.
Under her cold appearance, Su Han was very lonely, and she even had low self-esteem. Due to her fragility, she had never wanted to lose or reveal her soft side.
Seeing Hao Ren’s awkwardness, Lu Linlin covered her snicker with her hand. Hao Ren was the most decent man that she had ever seen since he didn’t lose his head while interacting with so many beautiful girls. It made her and her sister liked him more.
The best way to know a person was through time. In the long time that they had stayed with Hao Ren, they knew that he wasn’t a man who would lose his head in front of beauties.
If Hao Ren had done anything outrageous, they would have returned Hao Ren’s favor and gone back to the Heavenly Realm. However, since Hao Ren acted better than they had imagined, they had stayed by his side for this long.
Instead of teasing Hao Ren like her sister, Lu Lili looked at him and smiled with her eyes.
“Yujia, take a look at them for me and see which ones are useful.” After taking out that box from his necklace, Hao Ren dug out some spiritual herbs one by one.
“Iron Essence Flower, Soul Grass, Golden Hammer, and Daphne…” Xie Yujia selected four level 6 spiritual herbs and looked up at Hao Ren in excitement. “They are all 100,000-year-old herbs!”
All the 10,000-year-old spiritual herbs were the top-tier spiritual herbs. Hao Ren had just picked a few spiritual herbs randomly on top of the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, and they were all 100,000-year-old herbs!
Remembering how Qiu Niu had burned all the spiritual herbs into ashes in a fury, Hao Ren’s heart ached for the loss.
“We are almost done except for several 10,000-year-old Black Herbs!” Xie Yujia looked up at Hao Ren with joy and a bit of disappointed.
With a frown, Hao Ren thought that the Demon Sea had abundant nature essence, and Lady Zhen’s prosperous and wealthy demon kingdom might have 10,000-year-old Black Herbs. However, he felt embarrassed to trouble Lady Zhen with this request while her husband was still healing from his severe injuries and she was busy tutoring Su Han.
If he went to ask Zhen Yuan Zi for help, he would look frail.
“Gongzi, we’ve searched for the 10,000-year Black Herb that you want and heard that there are some on Seventh Heaven,” Lu Linlin said.
