When Hao Ren and the other two returned to the house, it was already evening.
The house was bustling with noise. It turned out that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were the guests. With their long ponytails swaying behind them, they danced around the living room like two butterflies, carrying plates and tidying the table. They looked lively and virtuous at the same time.
Grandma smiled as she watched Lu Linlin and Lu Lili busy at home. When Hao Ren came back, she immediately called out, "Ren, you went out for another day!"
"Grandma, we went to the beach again today …" Zhen Congming ran toward Grandma.
His coquettish look was like the talking version of Little White, and it sent chills down Hao Ren's spine.
However, Grandma liked it. She immediately smiled and said, "Good, good, good. As long as you had fun!"
If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn't come to keep her company today, she would have been bored to death at home. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were at home on the weekends, but they were not as talkative as the Lu sisters. They just watched TV with her and went to check on their research.
On the other hand, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili chatted with her, told her jokes, and even massaged her back, which made Grandma feel indescribably comfortable.
If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn't want to, Grandma would have taken them in as her godgranddaughters.
That way, even if she only had Hao Ren as her grandson, she would have many children and grandchildren. "Isn't this warmth what old people want?"
"Gongzi, we will stay here today!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili hopped to Hao Ren and said cheerfully.
They were under the protection of Grandma, their 'boss', so Hao Ren couldn't say anything. Since Grandma had arranged for them to stay at home, he had to agree.
"Gongzi seems to have leveled up again," Lu Linlin whispered in Hao Ren's ear with a smile.
Lu Lili's eyes were like two crescent moons, and she also had a joyful expression.
"Let's go to Gongzi's room tonight and test his elemental attributes!" Lu Lili said while exhaling hot air.
Hao Ren looked at them helplessly, knowing that they would make a scene at his house.
"Time for dinner! It's time to eat! "Yue Yang, who was standing by the table, couldn't help but yell when she saw the twins clinging to Hao Ren.
She didn't hate Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, but there were too many girls around Hao Ren, and she couldn't help but worry.
Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Little White squatted beside the table and ate a full plate of meat. It was also full.
Living in such a comfortable environment, Little White had long lost its heart as a lion. When it was full, it rubbed its belly and rolled on the carpet.
Its four golden claws made it look especially cute. Even Yue Yang, who didn't really like pets, couldn't help but give it two more bowls of braised pork.
"Mom, I'm going out for a bit," Hao Ren was worried about Zhao Yanzi's Foundation Establishment Pill, so he shouted.
"Why are you always out!" Yue Yang complained as she washed the dishes. Beside her, Xie Yujia smiled helplessly.
"Gongzi, we'll go with you!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili ran out after him. Grandma shook her head and smiled. Then, she pulled Zhen Congming into her arms.
Hao Ren dashed toward the East Ocean Dragon Palace on the energy sword while the Lu sisters followed him closely, looking like two followers.
The three of them went straight into the deep ocean. Zhao Yanzi was waiting in the small palace with a hungry stomach. She suddenly heard footsteps and immediately opened the door.
To her disappointment, Hao Ren didn't come with a backpack full of snacks. Instead, he came empty-handed.
"Zi!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stopped outside the palace and waved at Zhao Yanzi.
"Sister Linlin, Sister Lili …" Zhao Yanzi smiled at them and waved.
Zhao Yanzi didn't have any bad feelings toward the Lu sisters since they were close to Elder Lu and were like kids. Besides, she didn't remember the Lu sisters always sticking to Hao Ren.
Compared to them, she hated Xie Yujia more.
Seeing Lu Linlin and Lu Lili standing at the door of the small palace, Zhao Yanzi said to Premier Xia who was also standing at the door, "Premier Xia …"
Her voice was sad and sweet. Premier Xia didn't know what to do. Seeing that there was no one else around, he waved at them.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were very smart. They jumped into the small palace and went into Zhao Yanzi's room.
When Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were in the Cold Palace, Premier Xia often visited them. Now that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were released, they still remembered Premier Xia's kindness, and there was some affection between them.
"Um! Yes! "Premier Xia coughed and stood at the door as a lookout for them.
In the room, Zhao Yanzi was overjoyed. Hao Ren was the only one who came to keep her company, but two more people came to keep her company.
"Did you eat all the snacks?" Hao Ren asked in surprise when he saw Zhao Yanzi's empty bed.
"So what? So what? "Zhao Yanzi raised her head and almost bared her teeth.
"Nothing …" Hao Ren took two steps back and took out an elixir pill from his necklace. "Here, this is for you!"
"What is it?" Zhao Yanzi narrowed her eyes and looked at the elixir pill in Hao Ren's hand in disdain.
"Gongzi, this is a level 4 Foundation Establishment Pill!" Lu Linlin said happily.
Zhao Yanzi didn't know much about elixir pills, but the Lu sisters were knowledgeable and immediately recognized the level and function of the elixir pill.
In fact, they had seen a lot of level 9 golden pills. However, on First Heaven where the nature essence was sparse and in the territory of the dragon cultivators who weren't good at making elixirs, level 4 elixir pills were already considered to be top-tier.
The best elixir pills in the East Ocean Dragon Palace were level 3, and most of the elixir pills were level 2.
The elixir masters who could make level 4 elixir pills were level 4 elixir masters. In the area of First Heaven, there were almost no level 4 elixir masters.
Zhen Congming didn't belong to the Dragon Tribe and rarely made elixirs for them. Therefore, the elixir master that everyone knew was the level 3 elixir master of the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
Because of this level 3 elixir master, the West Ocean Dragon Palace had an endless supply of elixir pills, and the quality of the elixir pills was better than that of the other dragon clans. Also, with its specialty, West Ocean Mystic Ice, its cultivation strength was much higher than that of the other three dragon clans.
"Level 4?" Zhao Yanzi blinked her eyes in surprise.
She didn't pay much attention to cultivation before, but she still knew some things. For example, level 4 Essence Replenishment Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, and Detoxification Pills couldn't be taken out easily.
Of course, even on Fifth Heaven where all the sects tried to make elixirs, level 3 and level 4 elixir pills weren't common. Therefore, when the three small sects near Ethereal Summit received 10 Grade 3 Foundation Establishment Pills, they were so excited that their entire sects were on the verge of boiling.
"Yeah, level 4. Xie Yujia made it today, and she especially gave you one, "Hao Ren said.
"Oh … She made it." Zhao Yanzi's face turned cold.
"She was kind enough to give it to you, and she made it for four hours. Why do you look like this?" Hao Ren looked at her with dissatisfaction.
Hearing Hao Ren scolding her, Zhao Yanzi snorted. She wanted to give the pill back to Hao Ren, but she didn't want to.
She was now on level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm, and she was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Foundation Establishment Pills stored in the East Ocean Dragon Palace were all level 2, and they could only stabilize her realm instead of helping her break through.
However, this level 4 Foundation Establishment Pill had the effect of …
"Xie Yujia said that you need a Foundation Establishment Pill since you reached level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm," Hao Ren continued.
Zhao Yanzi's mouth twitched a little. She didn't seem to believe it, but her heart softened a little.
"Why is this guy so kind …" Zhao Yanzi thought unwillingly.
"Little Zhumu, take the pill while we are here …" Lu Lili tried to persuade her.
Zhao Yanzi looked at them and swallowed the light grey pill after a moment of consideration.
She knew that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were masters on the same level as Su Han, and it would be safer for her to break through with them here.
A wave of dense spiritual aura instantly melted in her mouth and exhaled through her nostrils.
Among the Foundation Establishment Pills, the worst was level 2, the mid-tier was level 3, and the best was level 4. Among them, level 3 Foundation Establishment Pills could help peak Qi Refinement Realm cultivators break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but there was a chance of failure.
Level 4 Foundation Establishment Pills could greatly increase the success rate. However, such pills were usually not given to low-level disciples to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Zhao Yanzi could use a level 4 Foundation Establishment Pill to help her break through. On Sixth Heaven, only the nephews of the powerful elders had such an opportunity. As for Xie Yujia, swallowing a level-4 Foundation Establishment Pill every day to improve her physique was an extremely extravagant way of doing things.
The room was immediately filled with an intense fragrance. The Nature Essence from the ingredients in the elixir pills was dissolved by the elixir pills and returned to Zhao Yanzi's body.
After swallowing the pill, Zhao Yanzi didn't dare to delay. She immediately sat on the side of the bed and began to circulate the Qi Refinement Scroll.
"If the conversion is done normally, it would take one day and one night, and it might not succeed," Lu Linlin said.
"It might not succeed?" Hao Ren's ears perked up.
Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth as if she was trying to break through a certain threshold.
"But if we use the Foundation Establishment Pill as a guide and inject nature essence continuously, there won't be any problems," Lu Linlin continued.
"Then, what should we do?" Sitting on the side of the bed, Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but ask.
No matter what, she still wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. She used to be a Zhen-level cultivator, but now she was a mortal who couldn't use any nature essence. Hao Ren couldn't understand this kind of frustration.
"Gongzi can help Little Zhumu adjust her essence," Lu Linlin said with a smile.
"You can't?" Hao Ren asked them immediately.
"Our cultivation methods are completely different from Little Zhumu's and Gongzi's. Otherwise, we would have helped Gongzi increase his realm a long time ago," Lu Linlin said. Beside her, Lu Lili nodded vigorously.
All they could do was detect Hao Ren's physical attributes and give him some cultivation suggestions.
"However, Gongzi's Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll cultivates all five elemental essences at the same time, and it can provide the most stable nature essence. Besides, Gongzi is only two realms away from Little Zhumu, and Gongzi is the most suitable person to help Little Zhumu break through," Lu Linlin said.
"Ok, I'll do it!" Hao Ren walked up and reached out his hand to Zhao Yanzi.
"Gongzi … You have to put your palm on Little Zhumu's back for the nature essence to go in," Lu Lili took two steps back and said timidly.
"What! You have to put your palm on my back! "Zhao Yanzi almost jumped up from the bed.
"Not only that, but you can't do it through clothes," Lu Linlin added.
"Why didn't you guys say so earlier!" Zhao Yanzi glared at them regretfully. There was only one Foundation Establishment Pill, and she didn't want to ask Xie Yujia for another one.
"My sister has a slow temper. You swallowed it before she could finish," Lu Linlin said.
In fact, in Zhao Yanzi's case, a water-elemental dragon cultivator would be able to help her break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, at this moment …
"Can I keep one piece of underwear?" Zhao Yanzi turned her head slightly and asked Lu Linlin.
Zhao Yanzi wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm once and for all before the effects of the elixir wore off.
"It's not as effective, but it's fine," Lu Linlin answered.
"Ahem …" Hao Ren cleared his throat and didn't say anything.
"Humph!" Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and asked Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who were standing by the bed, to pull up the corners of the quilt. Then, she yelled at Hao Ren, "Hurry up!"
Hao Ren turned slightly and saw Zhao Yanzi's back facing Hao Ren. She was wrapped in a quilt and was only wearing a thin 'cutie'.
Her short ponytail was untied, and her black hair covered her neck slightly.
However, her shoulders, a small part of her back, and her waist under the 'cute' underwear were all exposed to Hao Ren.
Her tender skin seemed to have a tinge of pink in it.
In order to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, she was ready to risk it all. Besides, with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili by her side, she wasn't afraid that Hao Ren would do anything 'bad'.
The nature essence in her body was colliding with each other, and she couldn't suppress it with her half-baked cultivation level.
Her physique was excellent, and she was born with a water-elemental body. After losing the dragon core, she became the so-called 'pure water elemental root', which was why she could reach level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm in such a short time.
However, because of this, her realm wasn't stable. If the cultivators on or above Fifth Heaven reached level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm, they would have to prepare for another six months to a year before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The 'cute' underwear wasn't very thick, and Zhao Yanzi's smooth back could be vaguely seen.
Hao Ren took a deep breath, walked up, and placed his palms on Zhao Yanzi's shoulder blades.
It was thin and slippery …
"So what? I don't mind!" Zhao Yanzi yelled. Then, she couldn't help but add, "Weird uncle!"
Premier Xia, who was standing outside, froze for a few seconds. He thought about what she meant by 'touch' and then thought that it would be fine with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili inside.
According to the rules, the Fuma couldn't touch the Princess before he officially married the Princess.
In the room, Hao Ren's face blushed when he heard Zhao Yanzi's words. He was a typical otaku who wanted to do something but didn't have the guts. Usually, he could talk big in front of Zhou Liren and the others, but he was too nervous when it came to girls.
Especially for middle school girls like Zhao Yanzi, each of them was more powerful than the last. Hao Ren was obviously no match for her, and he was just an 'uncle'.
"Um … Gongzi, you can't be distracted," Lu Lili reminded him.
"It's so cold! Hurry up!" Zhao Yanzi urged again.
Putting his hand on Zhao Yanzi's shoulder, Hao Ren focused and injected a vast amount of water-elemental nature essence into Zhao Yanzi's meridians through his wrist.
This method was similar to when Su Han held Hao Ren's wrist and injected nature essence into him so that he could paint with sword energies.
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could absorb, convert, and output nature essence.
Especially since Hao Ren cultivated all five elements at the same time and had a stable cultivation technique, he was almost the best device to output nature essence. The pure water-elemental nature essence didn't cause any fluctuations, and the nature essence that was injected was a type of sword energy that was still under Hao Ren's control.
The nature essence in Zhao Yanzi's body was messy, and Hao Ren's water-elemental nature essence entered her body and immediately sorted out the messy nature essence. The sword energy could be absorbed and released at will, and Zhao Yanzi didn't resist it at all. Therefore, the nature essence flowed easily in Zhao Yanzi's meridians.
Zhao Yanzi who had been breathing heavily gradually calmed down. She followed the guidance of Hao Ren's sword energy and circulated her meridians step by step.
This comfortable feeling made her heart melt. It seemed like Hao Ren's sword energy had seen through her body and traveled all over her body. She could feel it all over her skin. "Isn't this another form of …"
"Little Zhumu, you can't be distracted!" Lu Lili reminded Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi enjoyed being called 'Little Zhumu', but she didn't know that the Lu sisters called Xie Yujia 'Big Zhumu'.
The nature essence that was released from the Foundation Establishment Pill also flowed into Zhao Yanzi's meridians along with Hao Ren's sword energy.
After reaching level 10 of the Qi Refinement Realm, all the meridians in the body had been unblocked. To step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, one had to unblock a Daoist Heart.
Circulating the nature essence of the Qi Refinement Scroll, Hao Ren circulated it with the water-elemental nature essence.
Ren Meridian, Du Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yin Heel Meridian, Yang Heel Meridian, Yin Linking Meridian, and Yang Linking Meridian … The dissolved Foundation Establishment Pill flowed in these meridians.
Both the Spirit Concentration Scroll and the Qi Refinement Scroll were basic cultivation techniques, and they had similarities. Hao Ren had studied the Qi Refinement Scroll in the Daoist Temple, and it was the Old Grandma who gave him the Qi Refinement Scroll when she was at the Soul Formation Realm. Therefore, Hao Ren was familiar with the steps of the Qi Refinement Scroll and was able to move Zhao Yanzi with nature essence without any problems.
His palms were slightly sweaty, and Zhao Yanzi's back was also hot.
Boom!
All the nature essence rushed toward Zhao Yanzi's head.
The nature essence that had accumulated in her body was instantly shattered.
Zhao Yanzi felt weak all over, and she almost couldn't sit still. Hao Ren immediately reached out and held her in his arms.
The nature essence around them rushed into Zhao Yanzi's body one by one. However, the nature essence around her couldn't satisfy her body that had just broken through …
At this moment, the nature essence of the Foundation Establishment Pill took effect and quickly replenished Zhao Yanzi's lost nature essence, forming a warm current around her Dantian.
There can be no construction without destruction. The Foundation Establishment Realm was to let go of all the nature essence and generate new nature essence.
If one was stubborn and didn't want to give up the nature essence accumulated in the Qi Refinement Realm, he wouldn't be able to peek into the Heavenly Dao. Only by letting go of everything in the past could one give up their identity as a mortal and step onto the path of cultivation.
The Foundation Establishment Realm was difficult because one had to give up, and the other was to gain. He had to exhaust all the spiritual power in his body and immediately obtain new spiritual power. If he couldn't complete the second step, he would fail to build his foundation. The Foundation Establishment Pill had the effect of storing nature essence in advance, and it could fill up the hole in the body in time, giving the cultivator a 'new' body.
In Hao Ren's arms, Zhao Yanzi's face turned red.
"Oh, I thought you didn't mind," Hao Ren looked down at Zhao Yanzi in his arms and said with a smile.
"You …" Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and wanted to hit Hao Ren, but she didn't have the strength.
"Do I still have to give her nature essence?" Hao Ren turned to ask Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
"No need, Gongzi. The Foundation Establishment Pill can give Little Zhumu the purest nature essence, and she just needs to recover slowly," Lu Lili answered.
"Oh, that's good …" Hao Ren carried Zhao Yanzi, who was wearing nothing but cute clothes, onto the wooden bed and covered her with the quilt.
"This little girl has a good figure …" Hao Ren thought as he glanced at her.
Zhao Yanzi clearly saw Hao Ren's glance, but she still didn't have the strength to scold him. She didn't even have the strength to glare at him.
With her face blushing, she looked shy even though she was angry.
"Fuma Hao, it's time for supper!" Premier Xia yelled from outside.
Hao Ren knew his place and didn't stay in Zhao Yanzi's room. He waved at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili and led them out.
"Have a good rest tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, you can consolidate your realm," Hao Ren said to Zhao Yanzi when he turned to close the door.
"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy …" Zhao Yanzi said 'bad guy' a hundred times in her mind, but she couldn't say anything.
"Let's go back." Although he was still a bit worried, Hao Ren still had to follow the rules of the dragon palace. He led the Lu sisters out of the small palace.
Zhao Yanzi would be full of energy tomorrow after she successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. "I don't know how fierce Zhao Yanzi will be after she gets stronger …" Hao Ren sighed slightly.
"However, I'm still at the Core Formation Realm, and I won't be bullied by this future daughter-in-law." At this thought, Hao Ren felt that it was necessary for him to increase his strength as soon as possible. "If this little girl cultivates again, it's hard to say who will be more powerful in the future …"
"Um, um, her skin is really elastic …" he thought.
Hua …
Hao Ren broke through the seawater and left the East Ocean Dragon Palace with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili under Premier Xia's gaze.
