It was enviable for a man to have dinner with three beauties. Su Han and the Lu sisters had never talked to each other before. Today, they chatted with each other while sitting beside the hotpot.
For their current relationship, this was already considered a substantial progress. Su Han and the Lu sisters weren't good at interacting with outsiders. Su Han was cold to everyone, and the Lu sisters were cold to everyone except Hao Ren.
Little White chirped in Hao Ren's hidden space until Hao Ren threw an Essence Replenishment Pill into it. After swallowing it, it finally quieted down.
Essence Replenishment Pills weren't the best elixir pills, but they weren't as common as cabbages. It was indeed a challenge to feed Little White and keep it from starving.
After an hour of eating hotpot, it finally came to an end. It must be the first time for the Lu sisters to eat hotpot, and Su Han didn't look like she had eaten hotpot before.
"According to the information I got, West Ocean will gradually approach East Ocean. It's a good thing that you tamed a demon beast, but you can't waste the time to improve your cultivation strength," Su Han warned him before she left.
"Ok. I got it." Hao Ren nodded.
"Come to me if you don't understand anything." Su Han's eyes were light as she left.
Lu Linlin pouted and looked at Su Han's back. "Gongzi, we'll go home with you!"
"I'm going to cultivate in peace. You guys can go back by yourselves." Hao Ren waved his hand and suddenly felt like Su Han's words had a deeper meaning.
Seeing Hao Ren's serious expression, the Lu sisters didn't pester him anymore. They followed Lu Qing and had a general understanding of the situation in East Ocean. However, they didn't want to get involved. As long as it wasn't related to Hao Ren's safety, they would rather enjoy their peaceful school life.
After taking the Essence Replenishment Pill, Little White slept quietly in Hao Ren's hidden space. Hao Ren drove back to the house by the sea and let Little White out to relax while he focused on cultivation in the house.
The opening of a dragon's aperture could be said to be easy, but it could also be said to be difficult. Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing the spiritual energy in one's body to reach a certain density, allowing the aperture of the dragon core to open up by itself. This was one method. Shooting the hundun sword qi into the clouds and bringing back the thunder energy to stimulate one's breakthrough was another method.
In comparison, the first method was to build a solid foundation, which was more reliable. The second method was to increase one's power by a lot, but it was more dangerous. If one attracted the Heavenly Lightning, the gains would not make up for the losses. After much consideration, Hao Ren decided to use the lightning cultivation method of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll after reaching Zhen-level.
After eating the Essence Replenishment Pill, Little White was more energetic than before. It ran around the spacious living room in its snow lion form.
Buzz … The cell phone beside Hao Ren's bed vibrated.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was Zhao Hongyu's number.
"Hello, Auntie?"
"We got out of the Dragon Palace and are by the sea. Let's pick you up and go back to the city," Zhao Hongyu said on the phone.
"Ok." Eager to know how Zhao Kuo was doing, Hao Ren didn't waste any time. He summoned Little White and put it into his necklace before heading to the sea.
Zhao Guang and his family were waiting by the rocks by the sea.
"How is Third Uncle?" Hao Ren walked over and asked directly.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Zhao Guang waved at them and asked them to get into the car.
Both Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Yanzi looked a bit grim, and Hao Ren's heart sank a bit.
The black Chevrolet was not far from the sea.
"How have you been these days?" Zhao Hongyu asked Hao Ren in the car.
"Not bad," Hao Ren answered. In fact, he had been worried about Zhao Kuo in the past few days. However, he didn't want to go to the Dragon Palace in person and disrupt their plan while the people of East Ocean were busy dealing with this matter.
"We were busy dealing with the internal affairs and forgot to send people to protect you. But I'm glad that you are fine. "Zhao Hongyu nodded in relief.
Zhao Yanzi didn't say anything and looked at the scenery outside.
The car drove at a high speed and soon returned to Zhao Yanzi's home in the city.
The four of them entered the house and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Zhao Yanzi's face was gloomy. Although she didn't go to school for a few days, she must be exhausted from taking care of her Third Uncle in the Dragon Palace.
"We announced to the public that Zhao Kuo passed the Heavenly Tribulation successfully. That's why we didn't get in touch with you in the past few days other than making some plans with the core elders and hosting the celebration ceremony, "Zhao Guang sat on a separate sofa and said.
Hao Ren thought about how they had to constantly convene the elders to discuss the external policies and celebrate when Zhao Kuo was seriously injured. They must be mentally and physically exhausted.
"In the celebration ceremony, Zhao Kuo showed up as the winner. So for now, everyone thinks that Zhao Kuo passed the Heavenly Tribulation successfully. Now, only the most loyal soldiers and core elders in the Dragon Palace know the truth, including you, "Zhao Guang continued.
He said these things directly because he didn't treat Hao Ren as an outsider. Instead, he treated Hao Ren as a core figure of East Ocean.
Hao Ren nodded calmly, understanding the seriousness of the current situation.
"After the celebration ceremony, Zhao Kuo's body has almost recovered. He decided to leave the Dragon Palace and cultivate outside," Zhao Hongyu said.
"Cultivate outside?" Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "On the one hand, he wants to increase his strength. On the other hand, he wants to avoid any flaws and make people think that he has broken through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm and is traveling the world, right?"
"Well, you have a clear mind." Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren with appreciation. "Zhao Kuo has decided to cultivate again. He has decided to go to the places that he has been to before."
Zhao Hongyu's words made Hao Ren admire Zhao Kuo even more.
He had lost all his cultivation strength. More than 200 years of hard work and 200 years of expectation had been destroyed in one day! If it were anyone else, they would have lost their confidence. However, Zhao Kuo had just recovered, and he wanted to return to the path of cultivation!
"Without destruction, there can be no construction. It's not a bad thing for Zi's Third Uncle to be brave after this tribulation," Zhao Guang said.
Hao Ren nodded. He wasn't thinking about the current situation in East Ocean but the scene when Zhao Kuo left the Dragon Palace. He wondered how Elder Xingyue felt when she saw Zhao Kuo leave …
"Besides telling you about Zhao Kuo's situation, I have another thing to discuss with you," Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren and said abruptly.
"Oh, what is it?" Hao Ren looked at Zhao Guang. Zhao Yanzi sat beside Hao Ren, and her posture immediately became serious.
"Zhao Kuo's passing the Heavenly Tribulation is a joyous event in the four oceans. Therefore, the four ocean dragon clans have decided to open the Nine Dragon Palace to celebrate and encourage the younger generations to cultivate harder and improve," Zhao Guang said.
Seeing Hao Ren's confusion, Zhao Guang said immediately, "The Nine Dragon Palace is a dragon palace from the prehistoric times, and it is the birthplace of the four ocean dragon clans. The Nine Dragon Palace is jointly managed by the four ocean dragon clans, and it floats in the void. Only when the four ocean dragon clans activate the array formation together will this ancient dragon palace appear. "
"Void Godly Palace?" Hao Ren was a bit surprised.
Zhao Guang continued, "The Nine Dragon Palace opens every 50 years, and it has only been 30 years since it last opened. It is an exception to open it to celebrate Zhao Kuo's Heavenly Tribulation."
"Was it proposed by West Ocean?" Hao Ren asked.
"Yeah." Zhao Guang nodded.
"West Ocean's move is very powerful. Since we announced that Third Uncle passed the Heavenly Tribulation, they encouraged the four oceans to open the Nine Dragon Palace to celebrate. The Nine Dragon Palace is equivalent to the ancestral temple of the four ocean dragon clans, and it is an act of worship to the ancestors. If the fact that Third Uncle passed the Heavenly Tribulation is exposed, East Ocean will be accused of fraud, and we will be under great pressure," Hao Ren said.
Zhao Guang's eyes lit up, surprised that Hao Ren's mind was so clear.
"Your analysis is correct. However, since Zhao Kuo failed the Heavenly Tribulation, East Ocean can only take one step at a time. After all, Zhao Kuo is fine. If he goes out to travel, he can at least create the illusion that he passed the Heavenly Tribulation, and the other three palaces won't dare to do anything rash. The most important thing now is not to think about the future, but to make sure that we can't return empty-handed from the Nine Dragon Palace. "
Zhao Guang, who was usually quiet, looked at Hao Ren and said earnestly. He sounded like he was pinning all his hopes on Hao Ren.
"Ren will stay here tonight. We will go to the meeting place tomorrow morning," Zhao Hongyu interrupted. "Every time the Nine Dragon Palace opens, it can only accommodate eight people, which means that each of the four dragon palaces has two spots. The age of the people entering the dragon palaces cannot be over 100 years old, which means that each of the four dragon palaces has to select their own young talents. After some discussion, East Ocean has decided to let you and Zi attend the ceremony. "
"Zi?" Hao Ren was a bit hesitant. Without a Dragon Core, Zi was just like an ordinary girl.
"Right. The Nine Dragon Palace opens only once every 50 years, and it only opens for six hours each time. Therefore, except for the grand hall where the ancestors are worshiped, the other places are still hidden. In this ancient dragon palace, there are many ancient treasures and rare herbs that are hard to find in the human world. For the younger generation, this is a very good opportunity. They might be able to obtain a certain elixir and break through three or four levels in one go. Therefore, the four dragon palaces usually choose their own direct descendants. "Zhao Hongyu said.
Hao Ren nodded to show that he understood. Although Zi was weak, she was qualified to enter the Nine Dragon Palace, and Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu would try their best to let her enter. Maybe Zi could recover her Dragon Core by herself if she encountered some kind of opportunity. Even if that couldn't happen, there might be other opportunities that could benefit her.
This was a once in a decade opportunity. The leader of the Dragon Palace would definitely take care of his children first. After all, they would inherit the dragon palaces in the future.
"I'll tell you about the specific things before we enter the Nine Dragon Palace tomorrow. It's late now, and you should go upstairs and rest, "Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.
"Ok!" Hao Ren looked back at Zhao Yanzi and stood up from the sofa.
Zhao Yanzi snorted as if she was unhappy about being paired with Hao Ren. Then, she ran upstairs.
