for her mother to finish work at the studio, she would always run around nearby.Each time she finished drawing a simple sketch, she would look up and search for Hao Ren in the office.Aha... everyone...Chapter 336: Capable of Matching Little Purple

The moment Hao Ren left the Fifth Level Sky on Xiao Baiyi, three figures flew towards Mount Mysterious Peak.

"Master Zhuang Song, Daoist Brother Liu," a middle-aged man in green robes greeted the other two people courteously.

A beautiful woman referred to as 'Daoist Sister Liu' smiled slightly at the speaking middle-aged man and said, "Master Han."

The three individuals were exactly the masters of the three cultivation sects near Mount Mysterious Peak. The Mr. Han was the master of Seven Stars Sect, Mr. Song was the master of Qiong Hua Sect, and Ms. Liu was the master of Qing Yin Sect.

These three sects formed a triangular formation around the valley where Hao Ren's Mount Mysterious Peak was located in its center. In terms of terrain, each of them could consider this valley as their own back mountain.

Due to this situation, disputes over ownership of the valley had been ongoing for years. Eventually, they decided to hold a 'Discourse' every ten years where each sect would send three newly established Foundation Establishment cultivators to compete in strength. The winning sect would gain five-year usage rights to Medicine King Valley.

The remaining five years were set aside for the valley's recovery period to prevent excessive spirit energy use by one sect from hindering the next. This method also prevented a sect with temporary ownership of the valley from continuously occupying it for ten years, which could lead to rapid growth in power and permanent control over the valley.

However, just as this round's 'Discourse' was about to begin, some disciples sent to inspect the valley noticed an additional cave residence had appeared within.

This discovery shocked all three masters! They followed their agreement and nurtured the valley for five years but it seemed that someone else had secretly used it This incident rapidly escalated into a crisis. After individual discussions and ruling out the possibility of one sect using it without permission, they arranged for numerous young disciples and several elders to guard the valley.

But in the evening, two figures suddenly appeared over the valley, stunning more than three hundred disciples buried within and the elders guarding the key points. All were knocked unconscious and thrown out of the valley.

In this entire process, no one managed to clearly see what the attacker looked like!

Upon receiving news of this situation, the three sects held an urgent meeting and dispatched all their Core Formation period elders in a joint effort to approach the valley entrance. Yet they met with the same treatment!

This time not only were dozens of elders knocked out and thrown into the valley, but even several high-quality flying swords were confiscated.

With night raids failing, no sect dared act rashly after a restless night. They decided to have their three masters meet during daylight hours for further investigation.

"Let's go!" Leading with his red flying sword, the master of Seven Stars Sect flew towards the valley.

The masters of Qiong Hua and Qing Yin sects looked at each other before mounting their own flying swords to follow closely behind.

Based on yesterday’s day and night events, it appeared that the cultivator occupying the valley only used it for cultivation during nighttime while leaving it unoccupied during daytime.

Hence, a daytime investigation should be relatively safe.

As they neared the edge of Medicine King Valley, Master Han of Seven Stars Sect suddenly slowed down. Masters Song and Liu also hesitated to advance further.

The scene where dozens of elders were instantly knocked out and thrown from the valley last night still troubled them greatly.

"Elders! I am the master of Seven Stars Sect, Han Guang. May I humbly request an audience" Master Han stood at the entrance of the valley with his flying sword and loudly announced in full spiritual energy.

Gorge No echo returned.

The Sect Leader Han turned to look at the other two sect leaders, hesitated for a few seconds, and then shouted again, "If the esteemed senior is not here, please forgive me for entering presumptuously!"

Inside the gorge, it was still silent. Not even birds chirped.

The more quiet it was, the less daring people felt to relax.

Sect Leader Han took a deep breath and turned back to look at Sect Leaders Song and Liu, "Let's go inside together!"

Actually, Sect Leaders Song and Liu were also lacking in confidence, but they could not retreat now that they had come this far. Moreover, based on the situation last night, it seemed that the seniors in this gorge did not want to be disturbed rather than hurt anyone.

The three of them all clutched their life-saving treasures and forced themselves to fly into the gorge.

A wave of mist suddenly hit them head-on. They steadied themselves, only to find that they were still outside the gorge. Feeling somewhat reluctant, they changed direction and flew in again. When the mist dissipated, however, they discovered that they had returned to the entrance once more!

This time around, the three of them did not dare to intrude casually any longer. Standing on their flying swords, they looked at each other.

"Sect Leader Han, are we going to give this gorge to outsiders" Sect Leader Liu, with her ruby hairpin, broke the silence and asked hazily.

She herself had groomed three disciples for this discussion forum in preparation to take control of the gorge. It was indeed somewhat disheartening that such an unexpected event occurred.

Sect Leader Han pondered for a moment, "This esteemed senior should not be inside the gorge; otherwise, he certainly would not like us lingering outside."

"Then what about this formation" asked Sect Leader Song doubtfully.

"This formation is left in Medicine King Gorge. It should be the Star-Exchanging Formation that cannot be entered without a technique to break it. Our Seven Stars Sect also has similar formations, but none as intricate as this one," Sect Leader Han paused for a few seconds before continuing. "Since this esteemed senior will not return until nightfall, we might as well wait here."

"This cave dwelling looks quite simple and should be the temporary abode of that esteemed senior. We needn't disturb him. Perhaps he'll leave in due time," said Sect Leader Song after some thought.

These sects from the Fifth Heavens were well aware of their capabilities. Sometimes cultivators from the Sixth Heaven would come down to the Fifth Heaven for experience, and as long as they came out of the mountains, these Fifth Heaven sects could not afford to provoke them.

Sect Leader Han shook his head, "This esteemed senior should be coming from the Sixth Heaven, staying here perhaps to heal or search for treasures. Judging from his actions last night, this senior is not a bloodthirsty person; it might be an opportunity for us."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Liu's eyes lit up as she made her judgment. A cultivator from the Sixth Heaven living in Medicine King Gorge was a threat but also an opportunity to the three nearby sects.

Even if they couldn't obtain actual treasures or techniques, getting some guidance on cultivation would be beneficial. This was what Sect Leader Han had in mind, but he did not dare act rashly with just his own strength and so brought along our two sects. This was what Sect Leader Liu thought inwardly.

"In that case, let's stay here today and hope to meet the esteemed senior," nodded Sect Leader Song.

This Sect Leader Song did not dare to hope for guidance from a cultivator of the Sixth Heaven nor expect to make connections with sects from the Sixth Heaven. All he wanted was for this esteemed senior to show some leniency by returning their flying swords last night, which his sect had contributed the most towards.

These three sect leaders waited respectfully near the gorge, while their so-called esteemed senior of the Sixth Heaven, Hao Ren, was already back at East Sea University listening to lectures in class.

Although due to Lu Qing's "special approval," Hao Ren could reasonably skip any lecture. Exams were a different matter entirely and couldn't be taken lightly. Filling out answers with random guesses wouldn’t get him passing grades no matter how much face Professor Lu had.

If he fails too many subjects, Hao Ren can't justify it to his parents. Of course, things would be even worse with Zhao Yanzi; how could he face her when he himself had failed so badly

Zhou Liren, sitting next to Hao Ren and leaning towards him like an old man, said as he approached Hao Ren's hand, "This bracelet is really beautiful."

Hao Ren sat at the back of the classroom, close to the window. The sunlight illuminated the deep blue sea crystal on Hao Ren's wrist, making it shine brilliantly.

The golden thread-like string that held this dark crystal also shone brightly in the sunlight, even more dazzling than gold itself.

"Damn! You're not a woman!" Hao Ren clenched his fist and punched Zhou Liren on the cheek, sending him flying back half a meter.

"I've noticed that since you started dating, you have a lot more jewelry."

Zhou Liren came close again. "Before, Su Han gave you two bracelets, one necklace, and a small golden bell pendant. You also wore several beads. Now there's even this little star." Are they all gifts from women"

"Ugh," Hao Ren was speechless.

“Ah, the luck of the charmed! I've never received anything from a girl, sigh,” Zhou Liren sighed deeply.

“Alright, alright. Next time I’ll get you something.” Hao Ren said helplessly.

"I’m not made of glass, who needs your gifts!" Zhou Liren retorted instantly.

Hao Ren got goosebumps thinking about it. He had bought some pretty treasure beads at the Fifth Heaven Trading Conference with leftover spirit stones. If he sold them in a jewelry shop, they might be worth tens of thousands. But since I don't want to give them to you now...

After morning class ended, Xie Yujia walked up to Hao Ren with a small bag on her shoulder and said, "Hey, let's go eat!"

"Beautiful company! Forget righteousness when faced with beauty," Zhou Liren chuckled as he left the classroom.

Xie Yujia looked at Zhou Liren’s retreating back, stuck out her tongue, then turned to Hao Ren and said, "What do you want to eat today I’ll treat you!"

"Why are you suddenly treating me…" Hao Ren was a bit confused.

“Of course it's because something good happened!” Xie Yujia pulled Hao Ren’s wrist as they headed out of the classroom.

The softness and coolness of her palm contrasted with the stark white of her shirt, along with her jet-black hair swaying gracefully. She seemed light-hearted and cheerful today, leading Hao Ren down the stairs. This scene attracted many envious stares from male students.

Xie Yujia wasn’t exceptionally stunning, but her freshness was quite charming.

Outside the teaching building, Xie Yujia unlocked her bicycle, and Hao Ren rode while she sat behind him.

"Why are you suddenly treating me" Hao Ren asked as he saw other male students peering at them from their bicycles.

Hao Yujia pulled on the back of Hao Ren’s clothes and asked, "Don’t you notice any changes in me

Hao Ren looked back at Xie Yujia; she was beautiful in the sunlight, but there seemed to be no changes on her.

"What's wrong" Hao Ren asked her.

"I've broken through to the eighth layer of the Condensation Qi Stage!" Xie Yujia patted Hao Ren’s back and said excitedly.

Last night, she had secretly practiced in her dorm room. Suddenly, she felt a thorough change; surging靈氣 rushed into her body, allowing her to break through to the eighth layer of the Condensation Qi Stage!

After all these silent efforts, she finally understood what "insight" meant.

To understand the changes in heaven and earth, to understand the cycle of life and death—just like studying, you can't just memorize; you need to integrate knowledge. The 生符 and 死符 in her left and right hands were like the positive and negative poles of a battery; when they connect for an instant, energy surges through...

Therefore, when she woke up this morning, Ma Li Na, who shared the same dorm with Xie Yujia, almost doubted whether the girl in front of her was really Xie Yujia. She seemed so confident and sunny, all the worries lingering between her eyebrows were gone!

She radiated like a small sun full of energy; as another girl, Ma Li Na felt that Xie Yujia's aura was no less impressive than those famous actresses walking on red carpets in TV shows.

In addition, her eyes became brighter, her skin smoother, even her breath seemed to carry a fragrance...

Xie Yujia finally gained insight into the way of heaven and reached the realm of immortals!

Her appearance was radiant, clean, and subtle; her hair soft and lustrous; her teeth white and closely set. Her movement was unhindered, steady and graceful. Her eyes were clear and bright, unblinking after prolonged staring—these were all signs of an "immortal."

Although she had only reached the eighth layer of the Condensation Qi Stage, she had comprehended the essence of the Condensation Qi Technique!

"Ah" Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds before looking back at Xie Yujia.

Indeed, Xie Yujia was radiating an unusual light; not the reflection of sunlight on her delicate skin but rather her own confidence and beauty.

"Hey, watch out!" Xie Yujia suddenly tugged on Hao Ren's clothes.

The bicycle tire hit the edge of a flower bed...

Hao Ren was so focused on looking back at Xie Yujia that he forgot there was a flower bed ahead.

Xie Yujia bounced up slightly from the backseat and then settled down steadily. Her black hair fluttered gently, and her hands lightly embraced Hao Ren's waist.

"She really broke through," Hao Ren mumbled after being stunned for several seconds.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled Xie Yujia’s beauty and the effects of the Immortal Face Pill. That meant she would always be beautiful from now on. Hao Ren quickly steadied his bicycle with his feet and pedaled towards Macro Plaza.

Ma Li Na thought that Xie Yujia had been gloomy lately because Hao Ren hadn't taken her out to eat or go shopping, so when they met in the hallway last time she was nudging Hao Ren. But she only guessed half right.

Xie Yujia's depression wasn’t just about Hao Ren; it was also due to the fact that despite her efforts, her progress was very slow. Grandma had given her this powerful 生死符, but she could barely tap into its potential.

"Hao Ren, I will definitely catch up with Xiao Zi," Xie Yujia said from behind, holding onto Hao Ren's clothing with one hand.instakingly cultivated by the West Sea Dragon Palace for over a decade would be easily disintegrated within days by Mingri Group’s overseas commercial team.With Zhao Haoran, who had fought fiercely am...
