Chapter 419 Fierce Dan for a Bold Man
newly opened coffee house near the school’s north gate. They say their pastries are quite good. We’ve been wanting to invite you for a taste." Lu Lili blushed as she spoke.They hadn’t seen Hao Ren fo...Chapter 419: Fierce Man with Fierce Medicine
Hao Ren returned to the sidelines holding the golden spear, and the cultivators around him immediately made way for him.
After Hao Ren defeated Wang Xi, he entered the top six of the eastern examination district without dispute, which meant he was now among the top 24 in this Dragon God Temple preliminary exam. All he needed to do was win one more match and he would likely be promoted from assistant examiner to full examiner!
Little White shrank back down to palm-sized and hopped along beside Hao Ren, but none of the cultivators dared to underestimate it.
"Not bad!" Zhao Yanzi excitedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Here’s your spear." Hao Ren handed the golden spear back to Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi casually passed the golden spear to Chancellor Xia, who then slipped it into a space behind his back. It turned out that Chancellor Xia had a gourd pouch hidden in the hump on his back. (What’s this got to do with anything)
Chi-chi! Chi-chi!
Little White wagged its tail, hoping everyone would notice it.
"Haha, Little White is amazing too!" Zhao Yanzi bent down and picked up Little White, causing it to scratch its claws in excitement.
"There are five more matches after this. I’ll find a place to rest for a bit." Hao Ren said.
“Are you okay” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren with concern.
“I’m fine…” Hao Ren waved his hand and leaped towards an area with fewer people.
The crowd had gathered around the large arena, leaving nearby small arenas completely empty. Hao Ren found a far corner and sat down cross-legged.
He took out five Qi replenishment pills from the small porcelain bottle and swallowed them one by one.
Only with a large quantity of medicinal pills could such huge spiritual energy loss be quickly recovered. If those cultivators saw Senior Disciple Hao Ren, a Level 4 cultivator, consume five Fourth Rank pills in just one match, their eyes would pop out!
The wound on his shoulder was quite severe, and he had several minor injuries scattered across the rest of his body.
Su Han’s golden injury medicine hadn’t been fully used up. Hao Ren placed the small porcelain bottle back into his gourd pouch and took out the remaining third of the golden injury medicine to apply it onto his wounds.
"That won't be very effective, use this instead."
A cold voice sounded behind Hao Ren.
Tap.
A brown vial flew into Hao Ren’s embrace.
Hao Ren turned around to see Su Han standing half a meter behind him. (Su Han truly had been watching out for Hao Ren from the shadows.)
"Your wound is deep, this will be better." Su Han said.
Even though her tone was still cold, she managed to convey some concern.
"Thank you!" Hao Ren picked up the vial and waved it at her. He then used both hands to lift the bottom corner of his robe and pulled it off from his shoulders. (Very open-minded.)
Su Han was taken aback, then hurriedly turned around to face away from Hao Ren.
Hao Ren undressed without saying anything, and for a moment, she had the impulse to cut off Hao Ren's arm! (Wasn't it because she couldn't bear to part with him)
Wearing only his briefs, Hao Ren didn't think there was any problem. He poured some deep black medicinal cream out of the bottle and quickly applied it to his wound.
The medicine seeped into his skin and muscles, immediately giving Hao Ren a sense that the wound was closing up.
Knowing the miraculous effects of this medication, Hao Ren carefully used as little as possible. After sealing the bottle again, he quickly put on his robe.
The robe was still tattered, but his wounds were already starting to heal.
"Su Han, what's the name of this medicine" Hao Ren asked Su Han.
"It’s called 'Breathing Muscle Peach Blossom Powder!'” (Peach blossoms seem to hint at something) Su Han turned around and looked at Hao Ren who had put on his robe. She said angrily.
"I only used a little, there's still plenty left in the bottle." Hao Ren hurriedly explained as he got up and handed the bottle to Su Han.
Su Han helplessly looked at Hao Ren, not knowing what to say anymore.
She took the bottle back from Hao Ren and put it into her ring. "When you need more of it, ask me!"
Hao Ren thought Su Han was hard to read; he just used a little more medicine, but she got so angry. (You can't figure out what to say because you're the one who's hard to understand.)
At this moment, Xie Yujia finally squeezed through the crowds around the large arena and came over to Hao Ren, urgently asking, "Hao Ren, how are your wounds"
"Su Han just gave me a bottle of ointment. It's very effective." Hao Ren said.
“Hmph!” Su Han stepped onto her white jade sword and quickly flew towards the large arena.
Xie Yujia looked at Su Han’s back in puzzlement, then hurriedly turned to Hao Ren. "Do you have enough pills I still have some others."
"I just took five Qi Supplementing Pills; my spiritual energy should be replenished adequately. During the competition, I made a breakthrough, so I need to consolidate it now." Hao Ren sat back down on the ground and leaned against the stone block around one meter high of Bai Lu Field.
“If you want to solidify your realm, I have Foundation Establishment Pills!” Xie Yujia took out another small white porcelain bottle from her pocket and said to Hao Ren.
"Foundation Establishment Pill"
“Yes, the Foundation Establishment Pill isn’t just used for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage; it’s also a pill for consolidating one's realm.” Xie Yujia immediately replied.
During these days, under Zhen Ciming's guidance, she had delved into the study of alchemy and was familiar with common medicinal pills and basic alchemical knowledge.
Hao Ren took the small porcelain bottle from Xie Yujia’s hand. On the outside of the bottle was a little tag that read: Foundation Establishment Pill, grade 4, twenty pieces.
Xie Yujia's meticulous approach made Hao Ren silently admire her organizational skills; whether it came to alchemy or household chores, or even studying, Xie Yujia handled everything in an orderly manner.
He poured out five Foundation Establishment Pills from the porcelain bottle and swallowed them one by one.
The scene, if seen by other cultivators, would definitely make their eyes pop out again!
The five Qi Supplementing Pills quickly replenished his spiritual energy, while the five Foundation Establishment Pills immediately integrated into his meridians, making Hao Ren feel warm all over.
No time to chat further, Hao Ren hurriedly closed his eyes and began circulating the Sword Shadows of Five Elements technique.
The intense battle allowed Hao Ren to intermittently break through to the 152nd aperture, reaching the middle grade Geng level!
The five-element sword qi from the Sword Shadows of Five Elements technique kept circulating within his body, while the dragon elixir slowly replenished his spirit energy. With the assistance of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the newly opened apertures also became more rounded and comfortable, with no longer any sharp pain in his meridians.
Five fourth-grade Qi Supplement Pills and five fourth-grade Foundation Establishment Pills would be an absolute top-tier luxury for ordinary cultivators!
Wang Xi was forcibly elevated in realm by the sixteen elders of Wuyi Mountain's Earth Dragon, going from lower grade Xun to middle grade Xun level before the trial exams at the Dragon God Temple. However, he lacked high-grade medicinal pills to stabilize his realm, and without a period for adaptation, intense competition caused bodily harm.
In fact, the elders of Wuyi Mountain had already warned Wang Xi beforehand not to forcefully compete if he met an opponent of equal level; it was better to admit defeat when necessary. But... Wang Xi never expected that Hao Ren would be even tougher than a Shui level cultivator and that he himself would lose to someone at Geng level! (Who could blame Hao Ren for being the main character)
If he had possessed several fourth-grade Foundation Establishment Pills to stabilize his realm, his strength today would have been genuine middle grade Xun.
Without a powerful support team, it was truly tragic... Compared to this, Hao Ren's support team was heavenly in nature!
Two hours later, Hao Ren slowly opened his eyes and felt refreshed all over.
He turned his head around and saw Xie Yujia still guarding beside him; she too was closing her eyes for cultivation. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Xie Yujia's complexion looked even more radiant, giving off an aura of calmness.
"Sir!"
The voices of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili came from above Hao Ren’s head.
Hao Ren lifted his head to see Lu Linlin and Lu Lili standing at the edge of the small martial arena, playfully looking down at him.
"Haha..." They laughed lightly as they gracefully jumped off the arena to Hao Ren's side. "Congratulations, sir! You've broken through to middle grade Geng level!"
Upon hearing Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s voices, Xie Yujia ended her cultivation and opened her eyes to look at Hao Ren.
Indeed, the stabilized Hao Ren looked even better now, with his gaze more spirited than before.
Hao Ren smiled easily as he asked Lu Linlin, "Which round are we in"
"Sir, the fifth match is almost over," replied Lu Linlin.
"How's the situation" Hao Ren followed up immediately.
In fact, he wanted to see how those cultivators were fighting; however, it was more important for him to recover his energy and spirit energy.
"In the previous four matches, two Dui level and two Xun level contestants have already been defeated. For this fifth match! It seems that a result will be out soon as well," said Lu Linlin.
"Mm-hmm, I should go over there to take a look." Hao Ren stood up and asked, "Where's Azurite"
"Miss Lady is being supervised by the Dragon King and Queen; they won’t let her come here and disturb your cultivation," Lu Linlin explained.
That makes sense. However, in the territory of the Dragon God Temple, Zhao Yanzi really shouldn't be running around everywhere, Hao Ren thought to himself.
The four of them walked towards the large martial arena; cultivators surrounding the match immediately made way for them.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn’t deliberately emit a Geng level aura, but cultivators wearing "Ren Yin Er Si Liu" identity badges were future stars that could even defeat Xun level ones!
Clock... Clock... Clock...
The bell of the Dragon Shrine resounded.
At the hour of Wu (7 PM)!
Suddenly, torches lit up around the arena.
As the sky darkened, these flickering lights illuminated the eastern examination area of the Dragon Shrine.
In the glow of these lights, the black Dragon Shrine seemed even more mysterious and enigmatic.
"One of them can't take it anymore," said Lu Linlin.
Bang...
The moment Lu Linlin spoke, a Xun rank cultivator was flung out of the arena.
His identity token automatically flew up and landed in Qin Shaoyang's hand.
"Next match!" Qin Shaoyang waved his hand lazily and announced.
To the west, near the Start of Summer stage, a flash of yellow light appeared. Under the illumination of the torches, Zhao Kuo jumped into the arena!
Bam!
A plump wood element cultivator fell from the sky, heavily landing on the already fractured arena.
This wood element cultivator's rotund body resembled a round log. Despite being shorter than Zhao Kuo by an entire head, no one dared to underestimate him!
The aura of a Kun rank cultivator abruptly radiated out!
A gentle and enduring green light instantly illuminated the entire eastern exam zone!
Rushing sounds...
Zhao Kuo's golden body unleashed 720 sword rays! (More than Hao Ren)
Their identity tokens around their waists glowed with a bright yellow light.
"It's impossible to defeat him," Lu Linlin murmured softly.
But Zhao Kuo remained calm, retrieving a wooden box from his black ring.
He opened the box and took out a pill.
Nine Dragons Palace Divine Pill - Enhancement Pill
In an instant, the Kun rank cultivator with extensive knowledge was stunned by what he saw.
