“Ugh?” Xie Yujia looked at him in a daze, not understanding his words.
“Teach me your elixir making techniques!” Little Daoist Zhen repeated.
Frightened, Xie Yujia didn’t know how to answer him.
“How can she teach you her technique so casually?” Hao Ren stood between them and said to Little Daoist Zhen.
“I just want to learn them; I won’t tell anyone else.” Little Daoist Zhen continued to stare at Xie Yujia.
He hated when his master made him learn elixir making techniques. Although he was gifted and smart and could even make level 9 immortal pills, it usually took him days and nights to do it. For those level 9 immortal pills, he had to spend more than one month watching the furnace without rest.
That was why he would rather make dharma treasures instead of elixirs. It took him at most three days and three nights to make a dharma treasure, and the process mainly involved his brain since he needed to arrange the different array formations. Compared to that, elixir making was purely physical labor to him!
If he could learn Xie Yujia’s techniques…
“My master told me that I couldn’t teach anyone these techniques,” Xie Yujia calmed down and told him.
“Who’s your master? Tell him or her to see me in the dragon palace!” Little Daoist Zhen said immediately.
“My master…” Xie Yujia said after half a second of hesitation, “She doesn’t see people.”
“I don’t think there are people I can’t see in the world!” Little Daoist Zhen grew arrogant. “Ok! I’ll go and see her then! I’ll see if she will teach me or not!”
Then, he waved his hand at Xie Yujia. “Ok! All of you get out! I’m going to make dharma treasures. I’ll go find you later!”
Xie Yujia looked at this eccentric “boy” in exasperation.
“Let’s get out of here.” Zhao Guang led the group out of the room.
“Snow lion, you stay!” Little Daoist Zhen said abruptly.
Little White looked back at him in bafflement.
“What are you looking at! I meant you!” Little Daoist Zhen pointed at Little White. “Stay with me!”
“It’s my spirit beast,” Hao Ren told Little Daoist Zhen.
“I don’t care whose spirit beast it belongs to; It’s my little follower now! You can ask it to see if it wants to stay with me for a couple of days.” While he talked, he took out another bottle from his sleeve and poured out dozens of pale blue elixir pills.
After looking at Hao Ren its watering eyes, Little White suddenly turned and trotted toward Little Daoist Zhen.
“d.a.m.n dog!” Hao Ren almost cussed out loud.
“Don’t worry; I’ll keep it for just a couple of days. I’ll come and find you guys with it after I’m done,” Little Daoist Zhen said in a casual tone as he took out a silver conch-shaped dharma treasure from his sleeve and tossed it into the furnace.
Seeing Little White already leaning fawningly against Little Daoist Zhen, Hao Ren was so mad that he got speechless.
He had no choice but to leave them.
While Hao Ren and others walked toward the first floor of the G.o.dly Treasure Palace, Little Daoist Zhen in the room suddenly had a cold expression on his face.
Today he was going to make a dharma treasure which he named Destructive ‘Making You Beg for Death’ Fire Lightning Super Killer Conch.
Since his master was in a 500-year exclusion cultivation in the Nine Dragon Palace, he could destroy the West Ocean Dragon Palace 100 times in the period, and no one would dare to stop him!
If the conch unleashed its full force, it would turn the whole West Ocean Dragon Palace into a pile of debris!
In this world, no one dared to mess with him. Even when he was in the Demon Sea and wasn’t taken in as a disciple by Qiu Niu, he feared no one!
“West Ocean, you dared to mess with me? I’ll show you my power!”
With both hands, he placed the first layer of essence absorbing array formation into the dharma treasure.
He planned to put 99 layers of powerful array formations into this super powerful offensive dharma treasure, and he didn’t care that he would have to spend three days and three nights to do it!
When Xie Yujia and others returned to the great hall inside the G.o.dly Treasure Palace, she immediately handed the bottle to Su Han.
Su Han took it and poured out one pill before placing it into Xie Yujia’s hand.
“This is the reward for your hard work in making the pills.”
Xie Yujia tried to decline, but Su Han already took back her hand.
Then, Su Han turned to Zhao Yanzi and gave her two pills.
Zhao Yanzi took the two fire-red pills with amazement. “They are for me?”
“One is for your mother, and the other is for you in the future,” Su Han nodded and said.
“What if I take it now?” Zhao Yanzi asked.
“Then, you will always look like this,” Su Han answered.
Hearing her words, Zhao Yanzi immediately put away the pills. She was young and pretty now, but her blooming time had not come yet.
“And the last one is for me.” Su Han smiled.
Every woman wanted to look beautiful, including Su Han. While she concentrated on cultivation, she put a lot of thought on the Beauty Pills because she wanted to retain her beauty.
She was now at the blooming age. If she took the Beauty Pill, she wouldn’t have to spend a lot of cultivation strength or large amounts of other elixirs to keep her looks; she could put all her energy into cultivation and try to realize her dream of reaching the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
“Let’s head back,” Zhao Guang said.
“Farewell, Your Majesty!” Premier Xia and Elder Xingyue bowed at him.
Zhao Guang led Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi, and Xie Yujia out of the dragon palace and drove them back to his home on land.
It was midnight when they arrived.
“It’s late. If you don’t mind, you can spend the night here,” Zhao Guang parked the car in the garage and said to Xie Yujia.
“Ok. Thank you.” Xie Yujia lowered her head.
Clutching the Beauty Pill in her hand, she leaned toward Hao Ren.
Zhao Yanzi pouted, but she was less defiant now since she was envious of Xie Yujia’s elixir making skills and hoped that she could learn the skills from Xie Yujia later on. That was why she didn’t want to alienate Xie Yujia for the time being.
Zhao Guang led them into the house and thought for a moment before saying, “Ren, you have to sleep in the living room, and Yujia can take the empty room upstairs.”
“Ok!” Hao Ren agreed immediately.
Zhao Guang led Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi to the second floor and then brought a thick blanket down for Hao Ren.
“Thank you, Uncle!” Hao Ren said politely, taking the blanket from him.
“Ren, I need to talk to you.” Zhao Guang didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he stood in the living room and looked at Hao Ren.
“Uncle, please go on.” Hao Ren was a bit nervous at Zhao Guang’s serious look.
Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren and said slowly, “Zi must take the first place.”
“First place…” Hao Ren didn’t quite understand.
From the second floor came Zhao Hongyu’s happy exclamation.
Obviously, Zhao Yanzi was giving her the Beauty Pill. As an elegant woman, Zhao Hongyu must care about her looks very much as well.
“I mean, whatever happens in the future, you can’t let Zi suffer. That’s my bottom line,” Zhao Guang continued.
“Ok…” Hao Ren understood only a part of it, but he agreed anyway.
“The second thing is that although West Ocean has retreated, it doesn’t mean that our crisis is over. Among the four ocean dragon palaces, the elders in our East Ocean Dragon Palace have the weakest average cultivation strength. Since Grandmaster Qiu Niu is absent from the palace and Zhao Kuo is traveling, the situation is still precarious.”
“Uncle, you mean…”
“Our East Ocean Dragon Palace has abundant resources but lacks good elixir masters. There is now a shortage of elixir pills above level 5, and that’s why many elders are stuck in Dui-level. Now that West Ocean gave us more than ten pieces of Mystic Ice, it’s an opportunity for a collective breakthrough for the cultivators in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. The only catch is the shortage of elixir pills…”
“Uncle, do you want to ask Xie Yujia to make elixir pills?” Hao Ren asked directly.
Zhao Guang’s expression froze before continuing, “Of course, I wouldn’t ask her to help us for free…”
“I think she will help; Yujia is a warm-hearted and kind girl,” Hao Ren answered. Then, he caught himself and corrected immediately, “But you must consult her first.”
“Ok. I’ll ask her. The third thing is about Little Daoist Zhen.” Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren. “In fact, he has been wanting to come up to the land and see the world. I’m sure he will use you as an excuse and try to come onto the land this time. I’ll let him stay at Lu Qing’s place for the time being, but I’m afraid Lu Qing can’t keep him in check. You see, he’s good at making trouble, and I want you to keep an eye on him.”
“Me?” Surprised, Hao Ren pointed at himself.
“Yeah. Only you can keep him in check.” Zhao Guang nodded gravely.
“It is more a transfer of trouble than a compliment… Ok, since I’m your son-in-law, I must take the burden from you…” Hao Ren remained silent while he looked at Zhao Guang.
“Thank you!” Zhao Guang patted on Hao Ren’s shoulder before walking toward the stairs.
Hao Ren turned to look at Zhao Guang’s back, lost in thought.
In the room on the second floor, Xie Yujia couldn’t sleep, so she began to cultivate the Five-Element Life-Death Note.
In the red box on the bedside table was the Beauty Pill, but she thought for a long while and couldn’t decide if she should take it.
Surges of essence came from all directions.
The Life Note could gather the essence of nature! The intensity of essence in Zhao Yanzi’s house instantly elevated to that of the Eighth Heaven!
Hao Ren was cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll in the living room on the first floor. He felt so great that with two crisp crackles, two openings were unlocked without the stimulation of lightning!
In the room next to Xie Yujia’s, Zhao Yanzi was counting sheep while cultivating Qi Refinement Technique. Unconsciously, she had reached level 3 Qi Refinement Realm!
Only Xie Yujia’s cultivation strength didn’t grow. She was still at level 3 Qi Refinement Realm with a little growth in her cultivation strength.
“Well, when can I catch up with Hao Ren if I go on like this?” Xie Yujia sighed in disappointment. Withdrawing the s.h.i.+ning Life Note into her right palm, she gritted her teeth and got under the covers.
In the living room on the first floor, Hao Ren found the intensity of essence dropped suddenly, and some spirit energy that had not been transformed even had the tendency to escape from his body. Immediately, he locked it inside his dragon core and ended his cultivation.
“Strange… I had never felt Zhao Yanzi’s home had such high-intensity essence…” Hao Ren murmured to himself before lying down on the sofa and pulling up the blanket.
Staring at the white chandelier, Hao Ren wondered if he could make elixirs with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll as well as Xie Yujia…
