“Break!” Hao Ren lightly shouted while his eyes were still closed, and he was still sitting in his room.
Peng… The hundreds of golden needles formed into one large golden dragon, swirling the waves tens of meters high.
Then, the waves twisted toward the clouds.
Hua, hua, hua… The hundreds of needles dashed into the clouds again, absorbing all the lightning energies in them.
Whoosh! All the golden needles pierced into the sea.
At that moment, everything was dead silent.
Two Dragons Array Formation!
Hao Ren was able to move the sword energies as he wished.
Hong!
The 320 sword energies formed two large waves as they rushed out from the bottoms of the sea.
Hao Ren’s home was next to the sea. Therefore, Hao Ren was able to fly the sword energies thousands of meters away and practice in the middle of the night.
Two beams of strong sword energies went through the sky. Then, they separated into thin needles and flew a few thousand meters to return to Hao Ren’s room.
Pa!
Hao Ren’s dragon core finally got another opening.
He had absorbed the nature essence from nature and the lightning, and it was nourishing Hao Ren’s body.
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was overbearing as it could absorb lightning energy and create sword energies that could feedback information to the practitioner.
Cultivating the five elements altogether required five times the nature essence, but it was also five times the power of a single-elemental cultivator.
Xie Yujia’s five-elemental Life-Death Notes contained the five elements as well, but it didn’t require the five elements to cultivate. Her technique relied on Yin and Yang; one was life, and the other was death. It had the power to plunder energy between heaven and earth, so it was even more overbearing than Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
“Tens of thousands of dharma notes as well as tens of thousands of sword energies…” Hao Ren pictured it as he cultivated.
However, Xie Yujia’s talent wasn’t the best since the natural five elements in her body were mixed. That was why old Grandma taught her the five-elemental Life-Death Notes.
If she were like Zhao Yanzi who naturally had a Pure Water Body Type, Xie Yujia wouldn’t have such a hard time cultivating even without a dragon core. Contrastingly though, she wouldn’t be able to use the Life-Death Notes in that case.
If Xie Yujia wanted to use tens of thousands of dharma notes at the same thing, she would need to put in an enormous amount of effort…
The thin needle-like sword energies turned into soft light dots and floated in the room. Hao Ren carefully tempered the new opening and was no longer as abrupt as he used to be. He no longer dared to be rough and was willing to spend more time firming the realm rather than forcefully creating a new opening.
If his dragon core broke, he would lose all his strength like Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle after the Heavenly Tribulation if he got lucky. If he weren’t fortunately, he would die instantly.
Hao Ren didn’t have Zhao Kuo’s level of talent to cultivate back to his original realm even after his dragon core broke. He also couldn’t match Su Han’s talent as well.
The most important thing was that if his dragon core broke, Zhao Yanzi’s life would be in danger. That was why Hao Ren was more careful with his training as he was responsible for himself and more importantly Zhao Yanzi!
Dawn slowly arrived, and Hao Ren exhaled and finished cultivating for the night.
He slowly opened his eyes after cultivating using the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll 72 times.
The morning sunlight shined through the window…
“Huh? Damn!” Hao Ren couldn’t help but shout.
Outside the window, the cactus had climbed up to the roof, covering Hao Ren’s room as if it were in the Amazon.
Hao Ren stood up and rushed to open the balcony door that was stuck shut. His balcony had become completely occupied by the cactus.
The cactus on the balcony looked as if it were hundreds of years old. It was big and thick, and each of the branches stood up straight. They almost broke the balcony!
“Damn!”
Hao Ren didn’t expect the cactus to grow so much in one night. Before Little White pooped on it, it was still the size of a palm and was used for decorations.
With this crazy growth speed, it would take less than three days for it to cover Hao Ren’s home by the sea completely.
The sky was brightening up, and the cactus continued to grow explosively on his balcony. A part of it even fell from the balcony, reaching the first floor.
Hao Ren quickly shot out 16 sword energies to cut the roots of the cactus.
Cactuses weren’t special spiritual herbs, so it was easy for blades to cut through them, let alone Hao Ren’s sword energies.
The 16 sword energies cut straight through the bottom of the cactus, and Hao Ren used wood-element al nature essence to protect his palms as he lifted the thorny cactus.
This little cactus that used to grow in a flower pot was now two meters in diameter at the bottom!
Hao Ren lifted the enormous cactus and threw it straight into the sea.
If Grandma saw this enormous cactus, she would have a heart attack.
Peng!
The cactus landed in the sea, creating waves over a meter high.
The cactus was the size of the balcony, and it floated on the water. It didn’t seem like it was going to sink.
When Hao Ren saw it, he had the goosebumps; he was scared that the cactus would continue growing, so he shot 16 sword energies to cut the cactus into even smaller pieces.
In one night, a cactus that was small grew explosively into one that couldn’t fit on the balcony. The small amount of poop from Little White had a potent effect.
If this cactus were seen by Hao Ren’s dad, he would for sure use it as a biology research project…
Hao Ren’s 16 sword energies once again started to stir in the cactus, cutting even the floating pieces on the surface of the ocean into tiny bits.
Then, he relaxed and went back to his balcony.
The other flower pots and flowers on the balcony were crushed.
Hao Ren looked at the concrete fence, and there were cracks on it. The growing power of the cactus was indeed shocking.
Tud! Tud! Tud!
A knocking noise sounded on Hao Ren’s door.
Hao Ren opened the door and saw Xie Yujia in her pajamas.
“I was helping Grandma and making breakfast, and I suddenly remembered the cactus from yesterday. How is it doing? Xie Yujia said with a faint smile.
She was in her pajamas and had a pink apron on. It made her look cozy and virtuous.
She rushed through Hao Ren’s room to go to the balcony.
“Where’s the cactus?” Xie Yujia asked Hao Ren hastily when she didn’t see the cactus.
“Look on the floor,” Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia opened her eyes and saw cactus thorns all over the ground.
The thorns were as long as one’s middle finger, and she was able to picture how big the cactus had become!
She picked up a random yellow thorn and tried to break it with her fingers, but she couldn’t even bend it. These cactus thorns were even thicker and stronger than the thickest sewing needle at home.
“Where’s the cactus?” Xie Yujia couldn’t help and asked as she turned her head around.
She blinked with curiosity and anticipation, which was adorable.
“How can I leave it here when it was bigger than the balcony?” Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia gaped a little, and her eyes were wide open with shock. She suddenly understood how large the cactus had become!
“It was too big, and I was scared that it would frighten Grandma. Therefore, I threw it into the sea and cut it to bits before I could tell you to come over and see,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok…” Xie Yujia
understood, and her eyes began to shine, “We should store Little White’s poop from now on since it’s so potent.”
“Um…” Hao Ren didn’t know how to respond.
Xie Yujia was a girl, so Hao Ren couldn’t let her do these kinds of things. The Lu sisters, Zhao Yanzi…
Hao Ren thought of the people who could interact with Little White but found that he was the only one who could do this mission…
Thinking that he would have to catch Little poop every time, Hao Ren felt like his life was extremely sad…
“The spiritual herbs in the Ethereal Summit are still young. Now that we have Little White’s poop, the elixir pills will be much more potent,” Xie Yujia said happily, and she looked like she was filled with anticipation.
“Yujia!” Grandma shouted from downstairs.
“I’m coming, Grandma!” Yujia ran out from Hao Ren’s room and down the stairs.
Hao Ren slapped his cheeks hard and followed her.
“What tea did you give me last night? I slept really well and feel very energized today!” Grandma looked very healthy and asked as she held a porcelain teacup.
“It’s herbs that I got from someone. I don’t even know the name, but it’s used to make tea. It’s pretty good,” Xie Yujia went over to support Grandma and said softly.
Hao Ren was curious and looked over, and he saw something red in Grandma’s teacup.
The blood ginseng from Yuhuang Mountain!
Hao Ren guessed that Xie Yujia cut off a small part from one of the six blood ginsengs.
Xie Yujia made the Rejuvenation Pill for Yuhuang Mountain, which meant a lot to them. Therefore, Yuhuang Mountain gave six blood ginsengs as a sign of appreciation. They were also invaluable.
If it were in the ancient times, even the emperors couldn’t get their hands on them. However, Grandma was able to drink the tea made from it to improve her health!
Hao Ren was right. Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and even Core Formation Realm cultivators would kill for these blood ginsengs since they could increase nature essence.
“It tastes quite good.” Grandma gave out a satisfied smile and had another sip.
“Grandma… Grandma… Grandma… You’re even more precious than an emperor!” Hao Ren secretly thought.
“I still have a few. This one should last for a week. When you finish it, I’ll cut you another section,” Xie Yujia said with a smile.
“OK! OK! OK!” Grandma held her teacup and nodded a few times.
These blood ginsengs wouldn’t last a few months at Grandma’s rate of consumption. If the cultivators on Fifth Heaven knew how a mortal used up the six blood ginsengs, they would feel like it was such a waste. If Ciyun Dragon King found out, he would be so shocked that he might spit out blood.
However, Xie Yujia didn’t feel like she was wasting it. As long as Grandma could be healthy, she was willing to use even rarer spiritual herbs.
She asked Zhen Congming already, and he said that the blood ginsengs could be used for tea for mortals. However, their effect would be reduced more than 1,000 times on normal people.
“You guys have exams next week. Don’t waste your time and go study. Grandma will make you guys food,” Grandma said as she took off Xie Yujia’s apron and tapped Xie Yujia’s shoulder.
“Ok!” Xie Yujia smiled sweetly and went to her room to get her study materials.
Hao Ren saw that their relationship was like grandma and granddaughter.
Xie Yujia treated Grandma well., and Hao Ren loved how she was considerate and kind.
As long as Grandma was healthy, picking up Little White’s poop was nothing. He could use the spiritual herbs to make Grandma even healthier.
Soon after, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili came downstairs from their room yawning. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were away for a conference, so they weren’t home this weekend. Therefore, their room was available for Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to stay in.
Hao Ren thought a bit and believed that they came over to spend time with Grandma, with the additional benefit of getting free food.
They both treated Grandma well as well.
They had come over prepared. Not only did they bring their cartoon pajamas, but they also brought their studying materials.
It was almost the rainy season, so the chance of raining increase dramatically.
At the moment, rain started to pour outside.
In this kind of rain, there were no signs of melancholy. Rather, the house was filled with a warm and intimate atmosphere.
The four sat around a small square shaped table. On the other side of the glass wall was the beach. It was an extremely pretty scene as the rain connected the heaven and the sea.
All sorts of notes, papers, textbooks were laid out on the table, making it seem like a good studying environment.
Zhao Yanzi just woke up and came out from Grandma’s room; she was in her tiny slippers. She walked down the stairs and went over to see what they were studying.
Then, she saw that she didn’t understand a thing on the books and was a little bit disappointed.
After all, there was a minor generation gap between her and Hao Ren…
However, she was only disappointed for a few minutes and recovered very quickly. She picked up a flowery apron and helped Grandma make food in the kitchen. Her exams were over, but Hao Ren had to study. That made her happy.
“Humph, humph, humph… Let’s see how many courses you will fail!”
Zhen Congming walked out of his room and stretched lazily at noon. The elementary school finals were a piece of cake to him.
Little White followed Zhen Congming out and jumping up and down; it didn’t have final exams.
Even without Hao Ren’s parents, the house by the sea was still very lively and warm this weekend.
The final exams week in the East Ocean University would be taking place in the rainy season.
Hao Ren was well-prepared, so he was not scared at all.
…
“Damn! Hao Ren! You’re like a god of exams!” Zhou Liren said as he followed Hao Ren out of the last exam.
Hao Ren finished all the exams in half the time.
Zhou Liren chose all his classes according to Hao Ren’s schedule, so he could cheat by peaking at Hao Ren’s answers. Hao Ren would move half a shoulder when Zhou Liren poked him so that the latter could see, but it was up to Zhou Liren whether or now he could see clearly.
Hao Ren was god-like during exams, gaining Zhou Liren’s respect.
They walked down out of the Academic Building D together, and the weather was sunny now.
Su Han, who was wearing a sapphire blue one-piece dress, was waiting for Hao Ren outside.
465 Entering Dragon God Shrine!
“Let’s go,” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and said with almost no emotions.
“Ok…” Hao Ren didn’t think much and walked to Su Han.
Su Han turned around swiftly and walked toward the school gate. She wore a pearl necklace around her slender neck, and the sapphire blue one-piece dress made her look gorgeous.
Zhou Liren stood at the academic building, looking astonished.
Zhao Jiayi came out from the same examination room. He was standing on the sky bridge that connected Academic Building C and Academic Building D, and he shouted, “Where’s Hao Ren? Let’s go eat together before summer vacation starts!”
“He…” Zhou Liren finally reacted, and he pointed to the school’s front gate and shouted, “He left with Su Han.”
“Damn it! Inhumane” Zhao Jiayi was so mad that he jumped into the air.
At that moment, Hao Ren walked with Su Han out of the school and into a deserted crossing.
When Su Han told him to come with her, he didn’t think much. He knew it was because of ‘work’. Su Han was especially pretty today, so there was a moment that caused Hao Ren to freeze.
Today was the last day of school, and Su Han dressed up a little bit prettier than usual as a type of self-liberation… That pearl neckla
ce made her elegance come out.
If it were the ancient times when men fought over girls, she would have been able to create absolute chaos with her beauty.
Hao Ren couldn’t help but secretly think about Su Han’s beauty.
“What are you looking at?” Su Han asked coldly.
Hao Ren quickly looked away. If Su Han knew what he was thinking about, he would for sure get a beating that he could never be able to escape from.
Since it was almost summer vacation, some of the students who finished their exams early had gone home. The area surrounding the school no longer had as many students as it usually would.
Su Han created a red energy sphere. The white jade longsword grew longer under her foot, and she grabbed Hao Ren as they flew up high into the sky.
“I told you that I needed to take you to the Dragon God Shrine to report,” Su Han said with a cold voice.
“Ok…” Hao Ren let out two sword energies under his feet. He adjusted his body and stood on the back of Su Han’s jade sword.
It was very uncomfortable to be lifted by the shoulder like how Su Han was doing to him now, but it was still easier to stand on her jade sword as it saved him energy. As a Qian-level master, her white jade longsword had no problem of carrying another person.
Su Han turned around and rolled her eyes at him but didn’t say anything.
Hao Ren unconsciously smelled the faint scent behind Su Han’s neck. Since Su Han was a beauty, she was very sexy when she rolled her eyes.
Hua… The white jade longsword moved so fast that a white flash followed behind it.
At that moment at school, Huang Xujie was about going home in his Mercedes S350. He suddenly saw a little white dog rolling around in the grasses behind the library.
Its fur was white, and its claws were golden.
“Isn’t that Hao Ren’s dog?” Huang Xujie thought, “The little white dog had come to the school a few times, and it is slowly becoming the favorite animal of the female students.”
Little White was getting more and more famous to the extent that Huang Xujie knew about it.
Cir!
He parked his Mercedes S350 by the grass.
Little White was rolling on the grass and biting a stick. It paused for half a second and looked at Huang Xujie but continued to play around with the stick.
