Hao Ren stood on the beach in a daze and looked up at the silent sky. "Strange. Did the lightning cultivation fail?"
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Forget it. It's good enough to unlock one opening." Hao Ren put away the technique and looked at the Lu sisters. "Let's go home!"
"Ok, Gongzi!" They answered cheerfully and walked up to Hao Ren. They walked to the small house by the sea, each holding Hao Ren's arm.
Even though they were wearing pajamas, their bodies were still warm. The clouds had dispersed, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
The Lu sisters hummed a nursery rhyme and jumped up and down even though they were holding Hao Ren's arm.
Hao Ren's clothes were a bit torn, but he was happy that he had proven that the lightning cultivation technique could work after reaching Zhen-level.
Far away in the ocean, Oldman Zeng staggered out of the water. His face was scorched black, and half of his dragon horn was broken off. Looking down at his tattered robe, he spat out a mouthful of condensed black smoke and roared furiously!
After hundreds of years of hard work, he was back to the beginning of his cultivation in one night!
This sudden Heavenly Tribulation had actually knocked away a small half of his cultivation! He had dropped from mid-tier Qian-level to low-tier Qian-level!
"Who plotted against me!" Oldman Zeng roared in sorrow. Instantly, his burnt hair fell off his face.
Hao Ren didn't know that his lightning cultivation had knocked away half of Oldman Zeng's realm. He returned to the house with the Lu sisters who were full of joy.
Grandma was still sleeping in her room, and Hao Ren tiptoed back to the second floor with the Lu sisters.
"Gongzi …" Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren coquettishly at the door.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren looked at her.
"Never mind … Nothing …" Lu Linlin looked down and touched her two index fingers.
"Then go to bed early." Hao Ren smiled at her.
He turned back to his room and closed the door slowly. Vaguely, he heard Lu Lili asking Lu Linlin, "Sister, do you still want to sleep in the same room as Gongzi?"
"What are you thinking? I just want to chat with Gongzi."
"Ouch! It hurts, Sister!"
The two of them joked as they walked, and their voices disappeared outside the room.
Hao Ren smiled helplessly, changed into his pajamas, and went to bed. The effect of the Dragon Core was that even if one did not cultivate, it could still silently absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth and silently convert the excess Spirit Qi.
The lightning energy he absorbed today was equivalent to the energy he would get after a week of cultivation. Of course, only cultivators like Hao Ren who cultivated all five elemental essences at the same time could use this method, and he needed masters like Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to protect him. Otherwise, even Zhen-level cultivators would have their meridians destroyed if they encountered such a Heavenly Tribulation.
Cultivating the five elements at the same time was equivalent to using five pillars to withstand the bolts of Heavenly Lightning. However, if one cultivated one or two elements and lacked the other three or four pillars, it would be fine if one or two elements were missing, but the energy of the Heavenly Lightning would be enough to cause heavy damage to the body.
Such a dangerous cultivation method with such harsh conditions was also the reason why lightning cultivation gradually declined and was lost.
How could it be so easy to borrow the might of the Heavenly Dao to achieve one's own realm?
Hao Ren secretly tidied up his messy meridians before entering the dreamland leisurely.
The next day, the warm sunlight shone on Hao Ren's bed, and Hao Ren woke up in the warmth.
"My own home is still the most comfortable …"
Hao Ren yawned and stretched his body. Suddenly, he felt two soft bodies in front of him.
He opened his eyes and saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili sleeping on either side of him, each wrapped in a small quilt.
The room was filled with a pleasant fragrance, and they stayed with Hao Ren quietly for half the night.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the bed.
Hao Ren was sure that it was not a dream, so he sat up immediately.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili also woke up slightly. They rubbed their eyes and looked at Hao Ren. "Let's help Gongzi change …"
"No, no, no …" Hao Ren grabbed his pajamas and jumped off the bed.
"I just wanted to stay with Gongzi, but there is no mattress on the floor in Gongzi's room," Lu Linlin explained.
Hao Ren had been to the Dragon Palace and knew that there were small beds for maids in the so-called bedrooms. However, he still panicked when Lu Linlin and Lu Lili suddenly slept on either side of him.
Seeing Hao Ren's panicked expression, Lu Lili couldn't help but burst into laughter. She covered her red mouth with her tender palm and laughed shyly.
"You guys go back to sleep. I have something to do today." Hao Ren quickly took out some clothes from the closet and left the room.
Seeing Hao Ren 'running away', Lu Linlin pouted and looked at Lu Lili helplessly. "I wanted to talk to Gongzi, but he was sleeping so soundly."
Lu Lili covered her mouth again and laughed. "Sister, the middle is where Gongzi slept, and it's still hot. I'm going to take it."
"Damn sister! How dare you take it from me!" Lu Linlin turned over and threw herself in the middle.
While Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were playing with each other in their pajamas, Hao Ren put on his regular clothes and looked at the time in the living room. It was already nine o 'clock, so he went into the garage and looked at a white Ford and a yellow Ferrari. After a moment of hesitation, he started the Ferrari.
After experiencing his first formal lightning cultivation last night, Hao Ren felt like all the cells in his body were activated, and his whole body felt refreshed.
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was a sword cultivation technique based on lightning cultivation, and the sword array formation technique that the old Grandma gave him was the real technique of using swords.
In the future, he would just need to let his body recover every few days and train his body with lightning, and the five elements in his body would be replenished quickly. After all, the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was a cultivation technique that would get easier as long as the foundation was solid.
While Hao Ren was driving, he thought about Zhao Kuo who had lost all his cultivation strength and was also cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. He suddenly missed Zhao Kuo.
On the other hand, if Zhao Kuo's whereabouts weren't unknown and Zhao Yanzi had lost her source of income, he wouldn't have had the chance to go shopping with Zhao Yanzi.
The sky was clear, and the sun was shining brightly.
It was ten o 'clock in the morning when Hao Ren arrived at Zhao Yanzi's door.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
Hao Ren pressed the doorbell.
Wearing a tight purple sweater, blue and white jeans, and white canvas shoes, Zhao Yanzi dashed out of the door with her straight hair hanging down.
She looked youthful and bright in the sunshine. The thin sweater in the warm spring accentuated her graceful figure, and Hao Ren even suspected that she was taking bodybuilding classes on the weekends.
Bang! She got into the car and wrinkled her nose at Hao Ren. "Let's go!"
"Zi, you won't be coming back for lunch, right?" Zhao Hongyu opened the window and asked loudly.
"Yeah! We'll be eating outside! "Zhao Yanzi turned to look at the window and yelled even louder.
"Ren, we'll go to your grandma's place tonight. You can come here directly," Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren.
"Ok!" Hao Ren started the yellow Ferrari that was shining in the sunshine.
Zhao Hongyu looked at them through the window and smiled happily with a spoon in her hand. "This seems to be Zi and Ren's first official date," she thought.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhao Yanzi exuded a youthful aura.
Her straight hair reflected a little bit of light in the sunlight. Especially under the influence of the light, there was a hint of dark red in her hair.
Her hair was thin and straight. Zhao Yanzi looked down at her outfit, and her face was covered by her hair, leaving her two small ears exposed.
"Where are we going?" Hao Ren asked as he drove.
"To Nanjing Road," Zhao Yanzi pouted and said excitedly.
Nanjing Road was the most central area of East Ocean City with many shopping malls, and it was the favorite place for girls.
Hao Ren drove toward Nanjing Road.
While looking at the right rearview mirror, Hao Ren sneaked a peek at her.
Although she looked young, he had to admit that Zhao Yanzi had inherited her mother's slim figure and her father's clear face. She was very beautiful.
This limited edition Ferrari attracted a lot of attention on the road. Finally, they arrived at Nanjing Road, the city center of East Ocean City.
After a short detour, Hao Ren found the parking lot and walked to the pedestrian street with Zhao Yanzi.
Being with Zhao Yanzi, Hao Ren felt like the young men and women around them looked back at him more often.
Zhao Yanzi was in Grade Eight, and she looked like a pretty girl next door from every angle. Her quick-witted eyes and delicate face greatly increased the number of people turning to look at her.
Especially when she was wearing a fashionable thin sweater, her curves were lively and exquisite. Although she wasn't sexy, she was undoubtedly eye-catching.
More than five or six so-called 'talent scouts' came to ask Zhao Yanzi to shoot movies or commercials, but they were all turned down by Hao Ren.
There were also some reporters who flashed their cameras toward Zhao Yanzi, and Hao Ren's sharp eyes caught all of them.
However, as long as they didn't affect Zhao Yanzi, they could do whatever they wanted. If Zhao Yanzi's photos appeared in the color pages of fashion magazines, it would satisfy her vanity a little.
Since it was the weekend, many young men and women came out to shop, and there were many handsome men and pretty women among them. However, none of them looked as good as Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was wearing a clean short-sleeved shirt and a pair of casual jeans. Walking beside Zhao Yanzi, he was a head taller than her.
He didn't know that those photographers were not only taking pictures of Zhao Yanzi but also of him.
After reaching Zhen-level, one would emit an indifferent temperament involuntarily. In the eyes of professional fashion photographers, it was a kind of 'laziness' created by simple clothes. It was a feeling that even models on the runway couldn't show.
Of course, for the young people who were shopping, Zhao Yanzi, who was as pretty as a small star, attracted them more. Hao Ren looked decent, but he wasn't flirtatious and handsome.
However, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi walking together had an indescribable beauty to them. This scene shocked the young couples who were in love when they saw them walking toward them. Then, they were filled with envy.
Zhao Yanzi also felt that more and more people were looking at them. They were walking shoulder to shoulder, but she gradually got closer to Hao Ren. After a few seconds of hesitation, she gently held onto Hao Ren's arm.
Hao Ren shivered and looked at her in surprise.
Zhao Yanzi held onto his arm and walked a few steps until Hao Ren caught up with her. Then, she slightly raised her head and glanced at Hao Ren. "Uncle, don't pretend. I know you are very beautiful on the inside."
Being held by her, Hao Ren turned to look at her. Finally, he couldn't help but smile.
