[The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.]
[1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points]
[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.] [Current Balance: 160 taels of gold]
“This …’
Han Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and was filled with thoughts.
“Forget it, there’s no point in thinking too much. It’s all something that hasn’t happened. The key is to obtain the cultivation method.”
He recited silently, “I choose Option 3.”
As the choice ended, an image appeared in front of him like a movie.
Soon, the scene arrived at the scene of him cultivating martial arts. His attention was highly focused.
After a while, the complete cultivation methods of the First Level of the Spirit Seizing Technique and the Third Level of the Vajra Technique appeared in his memory.
Lastly, the blood qi circulation diagram and the basic diagram of Internal Force that could allow him to break through to the Fiend Condensation Realm, the Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique, were complicated and profound. They far exceeded all the cultivation methods he was currently cultivating.
A large number of detailed memories about cultivation swarmed over him, and he felt dizzy.
Martial Arts:
Spirit Seizing Technique (First Level Before Entry Level, Cultivation Condition
Not Met: High-grade Foundation; Cannot be Upgraded)
Vajra Technique (Third Level Before Entry Level, Cultivation Condition Not
Met: Second Level Perfection of the Vajra Technique; Cannot be Upgraded)
Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique (First Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable)
[Perfected Mountain Splitting Force and Perfected Heavenly River Rain
Overturning Force can be combined. You can obtain the best deduction route:
Mountain Splitting Force + Heavenly River Rain Overturning Force = Infinite
Mountain and River Force.]
[This notification requires an additional payment of 30 taels of gold.]
[Infinite Mountain and River Force: It can mobilize the power of the earth, rivers, lakes, and seas. As long as there’s enough Internal Force, its power can increase infinitely. In theory, it can restrain the Perfected Three Points Origin Returning Technique.]
[This notification requires an additional payment of 30 taels of gold.]
[Current Balance: 100 taels of gold]
“The Heavenly River Rain Overturning Force can actually restrain the Three Points Origin Returning Technique?! ”
Han Zhao’s eyes widened.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and stopped thinking about it.
His first goal now was to grasp Internal Force as soon as possible and increase his Three Essence Force to increase his combat strength.
Martial Arts:
Mountain Shaking Fist (Third Level Perfection 100%. Upgradeable: Special Effect: Explosion Level 6, Mountain Shaking Force Level 5)
Yin Fiend Palm (Third Level Perfection 98%. Upgradeable: Special Effect:
Poison Avoidance Level 6, Yin Fiend Force Level 3)
Wind Riding Leg (Third Level Perfection 100%. Upgradeable: Special Effect: Rapid Speed Level 6, Wind Riding Force Level 4)
Han Zhao looked at the martial arts column and thought to himself, “Let’s obtain Yin energy from the Divine Sword Manor first.”
“I wonder if Xu Ling’s blood qi has reached perfection.”
He was no longer prepared to wait.
“I remember that her birthday is in five days. It’s a good day to break through.’
That evening.
The sun was setting in the west, and the evening light filled the sky. Clouds of fire weaved the sky into beautiful brocade, like wedding clothes on their wedding night.
“We can clearly rely on our looks to make a living, but we still have to rely on our own efforts.
Han Zhao changed into a blue silk brocade robe and stood in front of the gla.s.s mirror, looking left and right.
“If you don’t have enough Yin energy to spare, don’t show useless notifications!”
Looking at the system interface, Han Zhao couldn’t help but complain.
He had not looked at himself in the mirror for a while. His clothes seemed to have become tighter and smaller as if he had grown taller.
“I’m probably 1.8 meters tall.”
He did not care about this. After reaching the Greater Mastery of the Bone Shrinking Technique, he could at most raise himself to two meters and shrink to 1.4 meters.
Only when he did not hold back and used his full combat strength would the Bone Shrinking Technique lose its effect.
However, there was still the aura concealment effect of the Spirit Concealment Technique. Even if the Bone Shrinking Technique failed, no one would be able to recognize him if he wore a mask and changed his aura.
“Perfect!” Han Zhao combed his long hair and put on the crown.
Most martial artists would cut their hair into a crew cut for convenience. He was the same at the beginning.
However, as his strength increased and he was too lazy to cut his hair, his hair had become longer and longer in the past few years.
Han Zhao walked out of the room and into the courtyard.
There was a huge tree planted in the middle of the courtyard.
A palm-sized bird with gorgeous feathers was standing at the top of the tree and looking up at the sky.
Han Zhao looked up and shouted at the little bird on the top of the tree, “Yu
Niang, I’m going out. I won’t be back tonight.”
Yu Niang, who was at the top of the tree, did not react. She kept looking at the sky. It was unknown if she was looking at the sunset or something else.
Seeing this, Han Zhao left the courtyard.
“I’ve finally recovered a little strength!” Yu Niang, who had transformed into the Ice Whisper Bird, spoke human language for the first time in this form. However, her voice was a little cold and heartless at this moment.
“That’s great.” A soft and weak voice sounded.
“It’s a good idea to leave now.”
“You can’t bear to leave?!”
“No… that’s not it.”
“You don’t happen to like that kid, do you?”
‘IN-no.”
“Then I’ll kill him!”
“No!! Brother Han saved me, and…
“I’m just teasing you. How can I, Yu Xuanji, be someone who repays kindness with ingrat.i.tude? If not for the true qi cultivation method that kid taught you, I don’t know how many years I would have slept.”
“I’m sorry.” “You’re me. Why are you apologizing?”
“I’m sorry.”
“You’re really—”
“I just treat him as family. Brother Han is a good person.”
“Alright, stay by his side for a few more years. However, you have to leave within six years. Otherwise, when my strength gradually recovers, that b*tch Yu Sheng and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family will definitely come looking for me. When the Hundred Bird Battleaxe appears, it will cause destruction. If I don’t leave, that kid will be unlucky.”
“Yes, I know.”
At the Xu residence.
Han Zhao entered the backyard unimpeded.
He walked into the room and saw that there was no one inside, so he walked out again.
On the corridor, a pretty little maidservant greeted him and curtsied. “Young
Master Han.” “Chun Tao, where’s your Miss?”
Han Zhao smiled.
“Miss is bathing. Please wait in the room for a moment,” Chun Tao said respectfully, secretly sizing up the future young master’s face.
Miss really had good taste. She wondered if she would have a chance in the future…
When Han Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up. “That’s good. I want to take a shower too.”
“Ah?!” Chun Tao was stunned for a moment. Her pink lips parted slightly as she watched Han Zhao turn around and leave. For a moment, she stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Han Zhao rushed to the back room where Xu Ling was specially bathing. Two maidservants stood at the door. They were Xia He and Dong Jin.
“Han… ”
“Shh!” The two maidservants were about to bow when Han Zhao hurriedly gestured for them to keep quiet.
“Creak!”
Han Zhao pushed the door open and entered. Water vapor rose in front of him, making it hazy.
He had showered here before. It had to be said that the life of a rich person was extravagant. They either used a wooden bucket or went to the river to shower.
Xu Ling’s bathroom alone was larger than his original house. There was a large pool of more than 20 square meters specially built with stone slabs.
Xu Ling, who was bathing, looked at the figure at the door and asked, “Qiu Ju?
Why are you back so quickly?!”
The figure in the fog was tall and clearly not a woman. Xu Ling was shocked. “Who is it?!”
Han Zhao walked to the side of the pool and admired the beauty in front of him as she came out of the bath. Her wet black hair clung to her chest, but it could not hide her exaggerated and voluptuous curves. Her smooth and delicate skin was filled with the aura of a young girl.
It was already very good.
“Junior Brother Han, why are you here?!” Xu Ling hurriedly squatted down, half of her face submerged in the water.
The surface of the water bubbled.
“Today is your birthday. I’m here to celebrate your birthday,” Han Zhao said as he unb.u.t.toned his shirt.
“You… Why are you taking off your clothes?!”
“Didn’t you also help me celebrate my birthday last time?”
Han Zhao said with a smile.
Water droplets slid down her round face. It was unknown if it was because she was hot or shy, but her beautiful face was as beautiful as peach blossoms.
“Here… here?” Xu Ling’s eyes were blurry.
Han Zhao did not answer. At this moment, he only needed to take the initiative.
Bathing in hot water was when one’s blood qi was most active.
An hour later.
“Xia He, Dong Jin, what’s wrong? Where’s Miss?”
Qiu Ju, who had prepared the food and wine, did not find Xu Ling in the room. She ran to the bathtub and realized that Xia He and Dong Jin were standing outside the bathtub with their heads lowered and their faces red.
At this moment, the phoenix cried out. The sound of mandarin ducks playing with the water came out of the bath, followed by the sound of water splashing.
“Qiu- Qiu Ju, all of you… leave!”
Xu Ling’s suppressed voice sounded.
“Miss, what’s wrong?!” Qiu Ju had an innocent expression.
Xia He and Dong Jin held her on both sides and whispered something into her ear.
Qiu Ju’s eyes gradually widened, and her expression was a little blank. Then, her face flushed red.
At this moment, she suddenly grew up.
The three women retreated out of the backyard, not allowing anyone to approach.
Another hour pa.s.sed.
Han Zhao sat on the edge of the bathtub with his eyes closed.
Xu Ling sat on his lap. It was as if her bones had been removed. She hooked her hands around his neck and rested her head on his firm chest muscles.
Neither of them spoke.
Han Zhao felt the changes in his Internal Force and Blood Imprint after the breakthrough.
As for Xu Ling, she was tired.
After a long time, Han Zhao opened his eyes and gently stroked Xu Ling’s smooth back. He smiled and said, “I successfully broke through. As for you, although your Life Nurturing Technique has improved greatly, you don’t seem to have broken through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough. It’s a pity.”
“I feel like I’ve died a few times. How can I have the mood to break through?
However, my blood qi has increased a lot.”
Xu Ling’s eyes were filled with spring, soft and powerless.
“It’s fine if you can’t break through once. You just have to acc.u.mulate a few more times,” Han Zhao teased.
“I’m not doing it anymore. That’s enough!” Xu Ling hugged him tightly.
“You’re talking about blood qi, right?” Han Zhao looked at her mockingly.
Xu Ling buried her face in his arms shyly. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt extremely at peace.
Han Zhao placed his hand on her abdomen.
Xu Ling cried out in alarm as her body trembled.
It was only when the Life Nurturing True Qi entered her dantian that she reacted and did not move.
A moment later, Han Zhao carried her out of the bath.
“If you’re tired, rest for a while. I’ll get Qiu Ju and the others to help you change.”
“Yes.” Xu Ling nodded, looking like an obedient new wife.
Clap clap clap!
Han Zhao put on his clothes and walked out of the bath. It had started to rain heavily outside.
“Will it rain after the sunset?”
Han Zhao reached out his hand from the eaves.
Splat-
The bean-sized raindrops fell and cracked about three inches away from his palm as if they were separated by an invisible force.
Han Zhao walked into the rain.
The heavy rain poured down, but his blue silk robe was not touched by a single drop of rain. An invisible membrane seemed to appear on his body.
Pop, pop, pop-
All the raindrops were repelled by Internal Force when they were about to touch his clothes.
Mountain Shaking Fist (Fourth Level Entry Level 3%, Upgradeable: Special Effect: Explosion Level 8, Mountain Shaking Force Level 7)
Yin Fiend Palm (Fourth Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable; Special Effect:
Poison Avoidance Level 9, Yin Fiend Force Level 6)
Wind Riding Leg (Fourth Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable; Special Effect:
Rapid Speed Level 8, Wind Riding Force Level 6)
Looking at the data in the martial arts column, Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.
“The Internal Force completely covers the surface of my body. It’s a sign of the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. I just broke through. The combination of the three Internal Forces can already cover my entire body.”
One type of Internal Force covering the entire body was the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering. If he stacked five or six types of Internal Force and covered his entire body with each layer, his defense would probably not be broken even if he stood and let a Force Tempering Martial Master hit him.
“There’s still a lot of Blood Imprints left in my body. The Mountain Splitting Saber Technique is about to break through too. Xu Ling hasn’t broken through yet so we can cultivate a few more times.”
Han Zhao recalled what he had felt just now, and his eyes burned. How many men could withstand the test of joint cultivation?
