Chapter 416: Powerful Pill Goes with Powerful Person!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Hao Ren took the golden spear with him while he walked out of the arena. The cultivators around him opened a path to let him walk through.
After defeating w.a.n.g Xi, Hao Ren was in the top six in the east exam area, meaning that he was now in the top 24 of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine’s entire exams. As long as he could win another battle, he could move up from a.s.sisting inspector to an official inspector!
Little White shrunk back to the size of a palm, and it jumped up and down by Hao Ren’s feet. However, even with its cuteness, none of the cultivators in the area dared to look down on it.
“Not bad!” Zhao Yanzi said with excitement and walked up to Hao Ren.
“I’ll give this back to you.” Hao Ren gave the golden spear back to her.
Zhao Yanzi pa.s.sed the golden spear to Premier Xia, and the latter put it behind his back. Surprisingly, there was a storage s.p.a.ce inside Premier Xia’s hunched-back.
“Ruff! Ruff!”
Little White continuously wriggled its tail because it wanted attention from those around it.
“Hahaha… Little White was also awesome!” Zhao Yanzi bent down and picked Little White up, and Little White was so excited that it lightly moved its paws.
“There are five more battles left in this round. I should find a place to rest,” Hao Ren said.
“Are you okay?” Xie Yujia looked at him a little worried.
“I’m ok…” Hao Ren waved his hands and jumped to a place with fewer people.
Now that everyone had gathered around the grand arena, the other 24 smaller arenas were almost empty. Hao Ren went to the further one, Bai Lu Arena, and sat down cross-legged.
He took out the small porcelain bottle and rolled out five Essence Replenishment Pills before eating each individually.
Having used up such a large amount of nature essence in such a short amount of time, Hao Ren could only use elixir pills to restore some energy. If the other cultivators saw Hao Ren eating five Essence Replenishment Pills all at once, they would be very envious and shocked.
Five-level 4 Essence Replenishment Pills were precious, and it was not something that Gen-level cultivator could handle.
The wounds on Hao Ren shoulder weren’t small, and he had more injuries all over his body.
The ointment that Su Han gave him before wasn’t used up, so he stored it in a little ceramic bottle and kept it in his storage s.p.a.ce.
“That isn’t very effective. Use this one.”
Hao Ren suddenly heard a cold voice from behind him.
Tap.
A small light brown bottle was tossed over to him.
Hao Ren turned over, and Su Han was half a meter behind him.
“The wounds are fairly deep. It’s better if you use this one instead,” Su Han said.
Although her voice was cold, she was still able to express her caring att.i.tude.
“Thanks!” Hao Ren waved at her with the bottle in hand. He got a hold of a corner of his robe and flipped the whole thing off.
Su Han paused for a bit and quickly turned her back against Hao Ren.
Hao Ren didn’t say anything before taking off his clothes. For a split second, Su Han felt the impulse of chopping Hao Ren to pieces!
Hao Ren was only in his boxers. He didn’t think taking off his robe would be a problem since he wasn’t naked. He poured some of the dark liquid onto his hands and quickly rubbed it on his wounds.
The liquid seeped through his skin and into his muscles, and he immediately felt that his wounds were closing.
After he found out the effectiveness of this medicine, he carefully handled it so that he wouldn’t waste any of it. He sealed the bottle and quickly got dressed.
Although his wounds were healed, his robe was still torn.
“Su Han, what’s the name of this ointment?” Hao Ren asked Su Han.
“Blossoming Skin Ointment!” Su Han turned around and said in a slightly angry voice even though Hao Ren had put his robe back on.
“I only used a little; there’s still a lot left!” Hao Ren quickly explained. Then, he stood up and handed the bottle back to Su Han.
Su Han looked at Hao Ren and felt speechless.
She took the bottle from Hao Ren’s hand and put it in her ring.
“If you need it later, come and find me!” she said.
Hao Ren thought to himself, “Su Han is unpredictable. I only used a little bit more of the ointment, and she got mad at him.”
Just then, Xie Yujia finally squeezed through the crowds around the grand arena and rushed over to Hao Ren’s side. She immediately asked, “Hao Ren, how are your wounds?”
“Su Han just gave me a good ointment. It is really effective,” Hao Ren said.
“Humph!” Su Han jumped onto her longsword and flew toward the grand arena.
Xie Yujia looked at Su Han disappear and was a little bit confused. Then, she quickly looked back at Hao Ren and said, “If you don’t have enough medicine, I have others with me.”
“I just used five Essence Replenishment Pills, and my nature essence has almost recovered fully. I was able to improve my realm in the battle just now, so I need to firm my foundation,” Hao Ren said as he sat on the floor in the Bai Lu Arena.
“If you wanted to steady your realm, I have Foundation Establishment Pills with me!” Xie Yujia took out a small white bottle from her pocket and showed Hao Ren.
“Foundation Establishment Pills?”
“Yeah. The Foundation Establishment Pills are not only useful for cultivators to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It could also firm one’s foundation,” Xie Yujia explained.
She had recently learned a lot from Zhen Congming on how to make more common elixir pills, and she also picked up a lot of knowledge on the theories.
Hao Ren took the bottle from her hands. On the bottle, there was a little label that said: Foundation Establishment Pills, level 4, 20 pills.
Xie Yujia’s attention to details impressed Hao Ren. Not only was she good at keeping everything organized with elixir making, but she was also like that with her studies and housekeeping.
He took out five Foundation Establishment Pills and ate them individually.
If other cultivators saw this, they would be shocked again!
The five Essence Replenishment Pills quickly restored his nature essence while the five Foundation Establishment Pills were quickly absorbed into his meridian, making him feel all warm and cozy on the inside.
There wasn’t much time for them to chat. Hao Ren closed his eyes and started to use his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
In the fierce battle, Hao Ren had reached 162 openings in the dragon core and was on mid-tier Gen-level.
With the five-elemental sword energies moving in his body, repairing the dragon cores, and restoring his nature essence, Hao Ren was able to unlock more opening smoothly in the future with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pills.
The five level 4 Essence Replenishment Pills and five level 4 Foundation Establishment Pills would be a luxury for a normal cultivator.
When w.a.n.g Xi forced himself to reach a new realm before the Dragon G.o.d Shrine’s general exam with the help of the 16 elders of Wuyi Mountain, he didn’t have any high-quality elixir pill to support his realm. His body did not have time to get used to the new power, and it hurt his body instead of helping him.
The elders of Wuyi Mountain had warned him ahead of time that if he met a cultivator that was at a high realm, he shouldn’t force himself to win. Instead, he should just admit defeat. However, w.a.n.g Xi didn’t think that he would lose to Hao Ren who was only at Gen-level.
However, if he had a few level 4 Foundation Establishment Pills to supplement his cultivation, then his power during today’s fight would be at mid-tier Xun-level, and the outcome of the battle might be different.
Not having a strong support team would lead to bad endings.
Conversely, Hao Ren had a strong support team, and it made him extremely powerful!
Four hours later, Hao Ren slowly opened his eyes, and his entire body was relaxed.
He turned over and saw Xie Yujia by his side. She also had her eyes closed, cultivating. Xie Yujia had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and her skin looked fresher and brighter than before; she gave out a gentle and calm aura.
“Gongzi!”
Hao Ren heard Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s voices from afar.
Hao Ren looked up and saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili standing on the brink of a small arena, and they were looking down at him playfully.
“Hahaha…” They laughed and jumped toward Hao Ren. “Congratulations Zongzi! You have reached mid-tier Gen-level.”
After hearing their voices, Xie Yujia ended her cultivation and looked at Hao Ren.
Indeed, Hao Ren looked much better after his foundation was stabilized, and his eyes were bright.
Hao Ren gave out a light laugh and asked Lu Linlin, “Which match is on right now?”
“The fifth battle is almost over, Gongzi.” Lu Linlin said.
“What’s the situation like?” He immediately asked.
Hao Ren wanted to see the battles himself, but he needed to restore his physical strength and nature essence while he still had time.
Getting ready for his own battle was more important.
“In the three battles that just finished, two Dui-level and one Xun-level cultivator lost. It’s the fifth battle right now, and it looks like it is about to be over as well,” Lu Linlin said.
“Let’s go over and watch.” Hao Ren stood up and asked, “How’s Zi?”
“The dragon king and the dragon queen are with her. They didn’t want the little princess to disturb you while you’re cultivating,” Lu Linlin said.
“That’s why I didn’t see her,” Hao Ren thought, “However, we are in the territory of Dragon G.o.d Shrine, and it’s probably better that she isn’t running around.”
The four of them walked toward the grand arena. The cultivators who were watching the fight quickly created a path for them to pa.s.s.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn’t give out the auras of Qian-level cultivators. However, Hao Ren who had the ident.i.ty token ‘Ren Yin 246’ was known for defeating a Xun-level cultivator. He was a rising star.
Dang… dang… dang… The bell at the Dragon G.o.d Shrine rang.
“It was seven in the evening!”
Torches around the arenas lit up one by one.
The sky dimmed down while the torches sparkled brightly around the east exam area.
With the torch lights, the black Dragon G.o.d Shrine looked even more mysterious.
“One can’t hold on any longer,” Lu Linlin said.
Peng… Just when Lu Linlin finished her words, the Xun-level cultivator was blown out of the arena.
The ident.i.ty token of the defeated cultivator flew from his waist and into Qin Shaoyang’s hand.
“Next!” Qin Shaoyang said while waving his hand. He seemed a bit bored and tired.
On the west side of the arena, a bright yellow light lit up. The black-faced and black-bearded Zhao Kuo jumped into the arena as the light shone on him!
Bam!
A chubby wood-elemental cultivator landed from the sky so heavily that the floor of the arena cracked.
The wood-elemental cultivator had a chubby body that looked like a tree trunk, and he was almost one head shorter than Zhao Kuo. However, no one dared to underestimate his abilities!
He was a Kun-level cultivator, and his aura expanded outward in the arena!
A dim, soft green light lit up the entire east exam area!
Hua, hua, hua, hua… From Zhao Kuo’s body, 720 sword energies dashed out!
The ident.i.ty tokens on their waists were both emitting faint yellow lights.
“He can’t beat his opponent,” Lu Linlin said quietly.
Zhao Kuo took out a wooden box from his black ring calmly.
From the box, he took out a pill.
It was a G.o.dly elixir pill from the Nine Dragon Palace – Empowerment Elixir Pill
Immediately, the Kun-level cultivator who was knowledgeable was shocked, and his eyes opened widely.
Zhao Kuo was so desperate to win this battle that he was willing to sacrifice an ancient G.o.dly elixir pill!
