The 728th Chapter: A Count of Ten Million!
仁一路小跑進入教學樓，非常清楚自己已經成為整個校園所有男生的公敵。教室裡早晨課程即將開始。坐在前排的謝雨嘉向郝仁輕輕擺手。郝仁也對她揮了揮手，想了想又走過去彎腰湊到謝雨嘉身邊輕聲問道，“趙焰紫冇給你惹麻煩吧？”"冇有，她還挺乖的。"謝雨嘉笑笑說道。"哦……那我就放心了。"郝仁抬頭看了看後排的趙嘉胤他們，直起身來說道：“我今天還是跟趙嘉胤他們坐在一起。”“嗯！你坐在後麵吧。”謝雨嘉善解人意地點頭同意...Chapter 728 - Ten Million Grade Number!
"These are from a friend in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons. I ate one myself, and there are two left." Hao Ren saw Zhao Kuo staring at him and hurriedly said.
He only mentioned that it was given to him by a friend without mentioning that he had become sworn brothers with Zhu Yuanzi; otherwise, he wouldn't know how Zhao Kuo would react.
"Yes, Uncle Zhai, this is a good thing. Mine are yours!" Zhao Yanzi followed up and said.
She took one bite and knew that the fruit was extraordinary, so she decided to give it to Zhao Kuo.
"You lost your dragon embryo, this fruit will be beneficial for you to solidify your foundation and replenish your essence. You should eat it quickly!" Zhao Kuo said with a stern look as he spoke to Zhao Yanzi.
He knew that these fruits were the best-quality Ginseng Fruits in heaven and earth; he was indeed tempted, but how could he snatch something from his junior!
Especially since Zhao Yanzi had lost her dragon embryo, although she temporarily practiced human cultivators' techniques to strengthen her body, she might encounter problems at any time. The Ginseng Fruits would improve her constitution and were undoubtedly good things.
"Oh..." When Zhao Yanzi was intimidated by Zhao Kuo, she thought that she had given the fruit she had already taken a bite out of to Uncle Zhai, which angered him, so she quickly finished eating the remaining Ginseng Fruit in two or three bites.
"I'll give mine to Uncle Zhai." Xie Yujia smiled and handed her intact Ginseng Fruits to Zhao Kuo from where she stood beside them. She knew that her talent was poor and her future limited, so it would be better to give the fruit to Zhao Yanzi's uncle rather than waste such a heavenly holy fruit.
No matter what, Uncle Zhai went into the Nine Dragons Palace to rescue Hao Ren, which Xie Yujia was very grateful for.
"No need!" Zhao Kuo decisively waved his hand and said, "I don't rely on such elixirs in my cultivation!"
He stomped his feet, and with a whoosh, he raised a barrier, drawing a streak of white light as he soared into the sky.
With the assistance of the crystal from the Seven Hearts Five-Color Lotus, he had already made some breakthroughs after fighting Quniu in the Nine Dragons Palace and later battling a few minor demon kings in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons.
In such circumstances, to take his juniors' things would be too shameful!
Next, all he needed to do was close retreat for a period at the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, then fight Su Han, and break through to Heavenly Dragon!
Hao Ren helplessly watched Zhao Kuo fly off into the distance and looked at Xie Yujia. "You eat it yourself."
"Okay!" Nodding her head, Xie Yujia bit by bit ate the Ginseng Fruit.
As soon as this Ginseng Fruit entered her stomach, she immediately felt a warm feeling that made her feel like all of her major and minor meridians were being unblocked.
Hao Ren wanted to watch her eat it in person because he was afraid that she would give the fruit away again.
Xie Yujia naturally knew Hao Ren's thoughts; from his gaze, she guessed that while he said it casually, this fruit must have been hard to obtain.
"Oh, it seems that I really want to practice cultivation now!" Zhao Yanzi also felt warm all over and said to Hao Ren.
Xie Yujia seemed to have a premonition of breakthrough as well; her face turned slightly red and every acupoint in her body was stimulated. This single ginseng fruit seems capable of taking her to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, or even allowing her to break through to the Core Formation stage!
"Little White!" Hao Ren released his divine sense.
Little White, who was rolling around on the school grounds, suddenly felt Hao Ren's call and climbed over the wall.
In十多天不見，小白的皮毛變得更加雪白明亮了，身形卻更加苗條，幾乎像一隻白色的狐狸。
如今它已經達到了五階境界，不僅能夠變化大小，還能變化顏色，無論是金色還是白色都能展現出來。
看到郝仁回來，它立刻假意親昵地撲到了郝仁懷裡。
郝仁捏著它的耳朵輕輕撕扯，在結界中把它變成了巨型雪獅子。
郝仁從萬妖海回到東海市時，小白作為他的靈寵應該第一時間能感覺到的；而它卻躺在草地上睡覺，直到被喚纔出現，證明這傢夥撒嬌親昵其實是補救措施。
"Head to the fifth layer of heaven!" Hao Ren patted Little White's fluffy head and dragged Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi onto its smooth back from either side.
Little White, now at the fifth stage, had enhanced intelligence and could understand Hao Ren’s words. Flames burst forth from its feet as it rushed toward the sky.
In fact, it was sulking because Hao Ren went on an adventure without taking it along, making Little White feel neglected like Hao Ren didn’t even care about it and only saw it as a mount.
It muttered to itself, seemingly venting its dissatisfaction.
"Alright, I’ll take you next time!" Hao Ren, who shared some mental connection with Little White, sensed its grievance and patted its soft neck, saying.
Pip-pip...
Little White happily wagged its tail, flying even faster.
"Did Su姐姐 not return together" Xie Yujia couldn’t help but ask when she saw Hao Ren didn’t mention Su Han.
"She still needs to cultivate in the Sea of Demons for a while and will likely come back after a few days," replied Hao Ren.
“Sea of Demons…” Xie Yujia murmured, nodding her head.
Su Han must be cultivating at Princess Zhen’s place in the Sea of Demons.
In fact, what Xie Yujia wanted to know more was whether Hao Ren and Su Han had developed feelings for each other. But she didn’t know how to ask.
Hao Ren's sudden leap from Rank Exchange to Rank Wind should have been due to Su Han’s assistance.
"This time, when I went to the Nine Dragons Palace, I also collected some spirit herbs. Please take a look and see which ones can be used," Hao Ren tapped Xia Yujia's forehead to break her confused gaze and said.
"Yes..." Xia Yujia obediently nodded.
She knew that Hao Ren cared for her, but sometimes... it was too subtle.
Zhao Ranzǐ gave a pout when she saw them looking after each other, but said nothing. In reality, she missed Hao Ren just as much as Xia Yujia did. If Hao Ren had to make a choice, one of them would have to lose.
Thinking carefully, Zhao Ranzǐ realized that Xia Yujia wasn't bad at all. Especially recently, princes from distant dragon palaces had transferred to Donghai City and visited their homes along with the dragons and princes, most of whom were polygamous.
In comparison, Hao Ren was quite considerate towards her in every aspect.
Boom...
The White One broke through the fifth layer's barrier and entered its range.
As soon as he entered the fifth layer, he felt some special broad spiritual senses roaming around it.
Hao Ren and Su Han had made Nine Dragons Palace manifest in the fifth layer, which inevitably drew the attention of cultivators at the Spirit Formation stage. The fifth layer thus became the target of these seventh-layer Spirit Formation stage cultivators.
Of course, with Qiu Niu guarding Nine Dragons Palace, it wasn't certain that these Spirit Formation-stage cultivators could find its whereabouts, let alone risk offending a sacred dragon cultivation site.
Hao Ren controlled the White One to avoid several spiritual senses and entered the Mystic Peak.
The spirituality within Mystic Peak was even thicker than before due to the formation's condensation. The spirit fields inside, which had been reorganized, were also more vibrant than ever.
Those dozen snow lions had gained a whole circle in their body size; three of them had already officially reached first grade, and another one had reached second grade!
The snow lions purred as they ran over to Xia Yujia upon sensing her scent.
"Young Master!"
Lulínlin and Lulií were planting spirit herbs in the water fields while rolling up their pant legs when they saw Hao Ren. They waved and called out happily.
Xia Yujia and Zhao Ranzǐ had been worried sick, but things weren't as bad for them.
Since Hao Ren attained his Immortal Spirit Body through their "Toxic Pill Plan," which involved using their flesh to reconstruct Hao Ren's meridians, there was a certain connection between their bodies and Hao Ren’s. If he were in danger, they would sense it faintly.
If the situation became dire for Hao Ren, they had secret methods to enter Nine Dragons Palace, though it would be dangerous.
They leaped lightly together and stood before Hao Ren with their tender feet bare.
"Congratulations, Young Master! You've reached middle-grade Xun rank!" They sized him up and said in unison.
Hao Ren guessed from their slightly mysterious smiles that they might know something, which made him feel a bit awkward.
"Master has some special experiences; his divine body is even more solidified now," Lu Lili leaned over to Hao Ren's ear and whispered again.
Thought Hao Ren: After eating two ginseng fruits, if there were no changes in my body at all, that would really be a waste.
"Master’s primordial yang energy is slightly depleted, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks," Lu Linlin came over to Hao Ren's other ear and whispered softly.
“Hm! Hm!” Hao Ren intentionally coughed twice.
The matters in Nine Dragon Palace were indeed somewhat impetuous. But to say he didn’t have any feelings toward Su Han, that wouldn't be entirely truthful either.
No man disliked Su Han, but most men appreciated her beauty. Only Hao Ren had deeply interacted with her and liked her personality; there was also some sympathy in his heart for her.
Behind Su Han's cold exterior was actually a sense of loneliness. Underneath her strong pride was hidden a bit of inferiority complex. She never wanted to lose, not wanting to show her soft side, precisely due to her vulnerability.
Seeing Hao Ren’s slightly awkward expression, Lu Linlin covered her mouth and laughed softly. Hao Ren was the most upright man she had ever seen; even with so many beauties around him, he wasn’t tempted at all, which also made her and her sister like Hao Ren more.
The best way to test a person was time—through such prolonged interactions, they knew that Hao Ren truly wasn't the type of man who rushed into things. If Hao Ren had done anything even slightly inappropriate, they would return his kindness by returning to the upper realm. However, it was because Hao Ren was better than what they imagined that they continued to stay by Hao Ren's side.
Lu Lili didn’t tease Hao Ren like her sister did; instead, she raised an eye corner and happily looked at Hao Ren.
"Yu Jia, can you help me check which ones are usable" Hao Ren took out the wooden box from his spatial pocket and laid out some spirit herbs one by one.
“Iron flower essence, return-yang grass, golden hammer, fragrant charm…” Xie Yu Jia quickly flipped through them to find four necessary grade six spirit herbs. Then she lifted her head and excitedly looked at Hao Ren: “All of them are over ten thousand years old!”
To have spirit herbs that were a hundred years old was already top-tier immortal grass; Hao Ren casually picked some in the nursery garden on Heavenly Pillar Tower, all with an age of more than ten thousand years!
Thinking back to how Quniu's rage burned up all the spirit herbs in the nursery garden into ashes, Hao Ren drew a sharp breath and couldn’t help feeling heartbroken.
"That’s almost enough now. We just need a few sets of ten thousand-year-old black medicine!" Xie Yu Jia happily looked at Hao Ren but added with regret:
Hao Ren frowned as he thought about it; Spirit Beast Ocean was full of spiritual energy, and Zhen Fei's demon kingdom was so prosperous. Perhaps they could find ten-thousand-year-old black medicine there, but since Zhen Fei’s husband was still severely injured and she needed to guide Su Han in cultivation, it didn’t seem right for Hao Ren to go bother her again.
Going to ask Master Subodhi also seemed a bit like he lacked ability.
"The ten thousand-year-old black medicine that Master needs—we have heard of it. It’s available in the Seventh Layer," Lu Linlin said.
