Hao Ren brought Zhao Jiayi and the others to Hongji Square to eat as compensation for hiding his identity.
Xie Yujia called Ma Lina and the other girls over, and Hao Ren became the center of everyone’s discussion.
The girls other than Ma Lina saw Xie Yujia sitting beside Hao Ren and regretted looking down on Hao Ren before. They didn’t expect Hao Ren’s background to be so powerful.
However, they didn’t know that Xie Yujia’s parents owned two factories in the U.S. and planned on opening up the third. Xie Yujia’s family was comparable to Hao Ren’s, but Xie Yujia didn’t like showing off. Her clothes were plain and simple, and that was why these girls didn’t know about her background as well.
They ate dinner until eight o’clock.
Since they were in a great mood, Hao Ren drank with them and didn’t use any nature essence to get rid of the tipsy feeling. He drank everything that was presented to him and made everyone think that he was the ‘liquor god’.
Yet, Hao Ren felt slightly dizzy after a few hours.
Xie Yujia supported Hao Ren, walked out of the restaurant with him, and waved at Zhao Jiayi and other guys who were smirking. She was planning to take Hao Ren around Hongji Square to help him sober up when she suddenly saw Zhao Yanzi in her light blue uniform.
Zhao Yanzi was standing at the arched gate of Hongji Square and walked over quickly when she saw Hao Ren. Then, she noticed that Hao Ren’s face was red as if he were slightly drunk, and she looked up at Xie Yujia as if she was asking the latter why Hao Ren got so drunk.
“He was having a good time drinking with friends…” Xie Yujia explained.
“I was eating here with my third uncle,” Zhao Yanzi said.
Xie Yujia nodded and remembered that Zhao Yanzi’s third uncle returned. However, Zhao Yanzi’s third uncle probably left because Zhao Yanzi stood here alone at the moment.
Zhao Kuo was able to fight against a peak Qian-level cultivator who was much older, and his strength was terrifying. He left a deep impression on Xie Yujia’s mind.
If Zhao Yanzi pressured Hao Ren with her third uncle, Hao Ren would get restricted. However, Zhao Yanzi seemed to have discussed this with her third uncle.
After that day, Zhao Yanzi’s hostility toward her seemed to decrease by a lot. She didn’t fight with Xie Yujia all the time but cared for Hao Ren together.
“I’m going to Fifth Heaven,” Zhao Yanzi said.
“Oh, okay.” Xie Yujia clapped lightly, and Little White ran out from the corner of Hongji Square.
“Together,” Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia and said casually.
“Um…” Xie Yujia nodded. She would be worried to let Zhao Yanzi go to Fifth Heaven alone.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and stopped the tipsy feeling for a bit. He wanted to show sincerity when he drank with Zhao Jiayi and the other guys and didn’t utilize any nature essence. It had been a long time since he was drunk.
“I’m about to break through to the Core Formation Realm,” Zhao Yanzi said.
“Hmm?”
That sentence made Hao Ren soberer.
It was a massive milestone for the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to break through to the Core Formation Realm. It was also a sudden leap in a level; if anything went wrong, it was possible that one could lose his or her life.
Zhao Yanzi ran toward a corner at Hongji Square, and Little White followed tightly and transformed into a snow lion in a red energy sphere.
Hao Ren took out the purple gold hairpin and threw it by his feet. It turned into a gold boat, picked up Xie Yujia, and flew toward the sky.
In the corner of stairs at Hongji Square, Zhao Kuo looked at the three people who flew toward the sky and smiled as he shook his head.
“This little girl has her thoughts, and I can’t control too much as her uncle. In the Demon Sea, none of the level 9 and level 10 demon beasts appeared. So, it was because Hao Ren made an agreement with a big demon king… In this case, I still owe this kid a favor,” Zhao Kuo thought as he held up the liquor bottle in his hand and drank.
After coming out from the Demon Sea, it would be meaningless to battle against ordinary Qian-level elders. In the East Ocean City, only Su Han was worthy of battling against.
If Su Han could level up, it would be even more challenging to fight against her.
Zhao Kuo always felt that Su Han’s strength could go up another level, and it was absolutely not what she revealed right now.
Cultivators who wanted to charge toward the Heavenly Dragon Realm would usually leave one last bit of nature essence as back up. Therefore, when Zhao Kuo fought against Taiyi Cave Master, he only used a little more than half of his strength.
The higher one’s realm was, the more difficult it would be to evaluate his or her own strength. At Zhao Kuo and Su Han’s realm, the winner of the battle would have the momentum to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm!
The metal-elemental cultivator who became a heavenly dragon many years ago also charged at the realm after he defeated all the opponents that he could find.
Gu… Zhao Kuo drank more liquor and felt comfortable.
He would be battling Su Han after a week!
At this time, Hao Ren had already passed through the clouds and entered Fifth Heaven.
A big energy sphere covered the extremely tranquil Ethereal Summit. Within a few days, the three sects around Ethereal Summit built many buildings.
The ancient buildings layered around each other, and they could be compared with those medium-sized sects with long histories. If these three sects were seen as one, Ethereal Summit vaguely had the atmosphere of a giant sect.
The lights in these three sects were lit, and many disciples traveled between the palaces on top of swords. The scene looked very lively. However, no one dared to get close to the Herb King Valley which belonged to Herb King Master; it was the forbidden area of the sects.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi drew two rays of red lights as they flew over the three sects and rushed into the valley.
A dozen blue voice transmission notes were at the entrance of the valley, and most of them were messages seeking elixir pills.
Also, dozens of thumb rings that were found by over ten sects on Sixth Heaven were placed at the entrance of the valley and waited to be collected.
Hao Ren brought Xie Yujia to the entrance of the valley and saw cultivators waiting respectfully with all sorts of thumb rings in front of him.
Thumb rings were considered rare dharma treasures in the cultivation sects, and these sects on Sixth Heaven tried very hard and only found these thumb rings.
There were still a few pieces that weren’t good, and the sects didn’t dare to submit them; they were afraid that they might offend the Herb King Master in some way.
Hao Ren appeared at the entrance of the valley, released more than a dozen sword energies, and gathered the thumb rings in his palm.
Those cultivators who were ordered to stay at the valley entrance raised their heads, and they were surprised to see the ‘senior disciple’ of the Herb King Master.
“If there’s anything better than your thumb ring at the moment, just replace it,” Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia.
“It’s fine. The one you gave me works well.” Xie Yujia lowered her head slightly and said shyly.
She saw the thumb ring that Hao Ren gave her as an engagement ring, and its meaning was more significant. Even if other thumb rings were better, she still liked the red thumb ring that Hao Ren gave her more.
Hao Ren knew her thoughts and smiled helplessly. Xie Yujia was too frugal; she was even very simple and plain when it came to dharma treasures.
Since Xie Yujia didn’t pick, Hao Ren decided to pick it for her.
After lightning energy flashed, more than half of the thumb rings broke into pieces.
The cultivators who stood at the entrance were shocked when they saw Hao Ren destroying those thumb rings immediately.
Out of the remaining four thumb rings, two of them were made of jade, one was made of bamboo, and the other one was made of some metallic materials.
Hao Ren threw these four thumb rings in the air and shot four sword energies at them.
The sword energies hit the thumb rings, and two of them broke instantly. If they didn’t have any firmness, they were not suitable for Xie Yujia.
The remaining two thumb rings were put on Hao Ren’s fingers by the sword energies.
The five elemental nature essence suddenly looped in and out of the two thumb rings, and they shined colorfully. Hao Ren instantly injected 500 strands of nature essence into them, and the left thumb ring burst into pieces.
The right one rotated on Hao Ren’s fingertip and made a humming noise.
Those cultivators at the entrance were completely dumbfounded. These thumb rings took them a lot of effort to find, but they were shattered into pieces by Hao Ren in an instant.
Especially the last broken thumb ring was shattered into pieces by Hao Ren’s nature essence.
“What kind of explosive force is that! If that nature essence was put inside someone’s body, the consequence would be unimaginable!” they thought to themselves.
Hao Ren grabbed the bamboo thumb ring and put it in Xie Yujia’s palm. “Try it for yourself.”
Xie Yujia was stunned by Hao Ren’s way of testing dharma treasures as well. The thumb rings that all seemed great were instantly evaluated.
Xie Yujia put on the bamboo thumb ring and used her nature essence, and this thumb ring glowed with a brown color and covered her. Xie Yujia grabbed the demonic bow pendant on her neck and shook her finger. The pendant turned into the demonic bow that was one meter long, and three sharp arrows appeared in her palm and shot toward the sky.
The three arrows that were shot out contained some brown spots, and their speed seemed to be faster.
Hao Ren looked at the oblique indentations on the bamboo thumb ring, and they seemed to be for archery.
“This bamboo ring was found by my master in an ancient cultivator’s cave. Other than this thumb ring, we also found a copy of Sky Archery Scroll.”
One of the cultivators was afraid that Hao Ren was dissatisfied with this thumb ring, so he took half a step up and said.
“Um.” Hao Ren nodded.
Hao Ren didn’t say anything, but this cultivator took out a copy of the technique and put it in Hao Ren’s hand.
Hao Ren flipped through the pages, knowing that this ancient book indeed recorded archery techniques. It seemed like the cultivator who used this technique was also an archer, and it was a coincidence that this sect’s master found the ring and the technique.
Other cultivators looked at each other and couldn’t do anything. The thumb rings they found weren’t good enough, and they didn’t have rare techniques to hand in.
Xie Yujia used the Spells’ Origin Note Scroll and lightened up the red thumb ring on her finger as well.
A red light glowed around her and formed a defensive energy sphere.
The red thumb ring with a smooth surface seemed to be a defensive dharma treasure. It was an accessory that can protect the finger, but it wasn’t for archery.
Hao Ren hit it with a sword energy, and this red energy sphere only shook for a bit but didn’t break. He was standing beside Xie Yujia right now; if the attack was from a distance, Xie Yujia had enough time to fight back.
With both offense and defense, Xie Yujia was like a tank…
With the help of the Ruyi Cloth, Xie Yujia’s position would be drifting. It seemed like she would be great at controlling the tempo of battles from now on.
