It was drizzling when Hao Ren returned to East Ocean City from Fifth Heaven.
Zhen Congming hurried back to his elementary school. He was not afraid of being scolded by the teachers, but he was afraid that Wu Luoxue, who was in the next class, would have a bad impression of him.
Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters went to their respective dorms to rest, and Hao Ren went back to his.
The appointment with Su Han at the Nine Dragon Palace was getting closer, and he would be a burden if he didn't increase his realm. Standing on the balcony, Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzi in the middle school classroom dozens of meters away.
Zhao Yanzi still didn't know that Hao Ren's dorm building was only one wall away from hers. Hao Ren could clearly see Zhao Yanzi by the window, but Zhao Yanzi didn't know where Hao Ren's dorm was.
The drizzle made LingZhao Middle School look quiet and beautiful.
Hao Ren went back to his dorm room, climbed onto the upper berth, and began to cultivate. Zhao Jiayi and the others must have gone to class, and Hao Ren was the only one left in the dorm room.
The nature essence intensity in Ethereal Summit was three to four times higher than before, and Hao Ren took the opportunity to store some. However, compared to before, his cultivation speed was as slow as a turtle's.
His body was empty of nature essence, and it would take a lot of time and energy to convert the little bit of nature essence he had stored in Ethereal Summit into nature essence.
The sun set, and the moon rose. Zhao Jiayi and the others went back to their dorm room and yelled for a while before going to bed.
Hao Ren adjusted his breathing and inhaled the nature essence bit by bit. Thinking about Zhao Kuo's failure in the Heavenly Tribulation, Hao Ren suddenly understood Zhao Kuo's hardships.
In one night, he had only gathered a little bit of nature essence, and he barely reached Kan-level.
While the guys in the dorm were still asleep, Hao Ren ran to school and practiced the fist techniques before going to class in the Academic Building.
Cultivation was boring. If Hao Ren didn't have the five-elemental necklace to gather nature essence, his cultivation speed would be even slower.
In the classroom, the Lu sisters were surprised to see that Hao Ren could reach Kan-level. The Poison Pill Plan was to cleanse one's body completely, leaving no impurities or nature essence.
However, Hao Ren practiced the fist techniques hard and reached the realm of Dao through martial arts. he had unblocked hundreds of openings in his body, and he had gathered a bit of nature essence.
As long as he could endure the side effects of the Poison Pill Plan, he would recover his realm. With the addition of nature essence, he would be able to cultivate for the second time.
In other words, Hao Ren's newly cultivated nature essence would also increase by several folds! It was equivalent to a cultivator's most precious source energy!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other in surprise, but they didn't point it out. This was a heavenly mystery, and also fate.
Hao Ren felt that there was still hope for his nature essence to grow, so he cultivated during the four classes in the morning.
Although he didn't break through to Li-level, he had reached peak Kan-level, which was equivalent to mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm.
After the morning classes, Hao Ren went to the club office with an umbrella. His steps were steady and his toes were strong. He walked on the potholes at a steady pace, but his shoes were barely wet.
If a martial arts master saw this detail, he would know that Hao Ren was a real master!
Vice President Lu Qi was dealing with some business in his office. He greeted Hao Ren immediately when he saw him.
"President, I've finished the statistics you asked me to do last time." Lu Qi handed a form to Hao Ren.
He looked at Hao Ren and sensed that Hao Ren only emitted the aura of Kan-level. He was secretly surprised, thinking that Hao Ren was suppressing his realm on purpose.
It was drizzling outside the office window. Hao Ren put away his umbrella, and there wasn't a single part of him that was wet.
There were hundreds of club members' requests on the form, and Lu Qi sorted them into more than 50 items. Most of them were dharma treasures that could help with cultivation.
"Ok, I got it." Hao Ren put away the form and asked, "How's the preparation for the calligraphy exhibition going?"
"Next Tuesday in the library. I've already borrowed the venue from the school," Lu Qi answered.
"Ok." Hao Ren nodded. This kind of club activity was to show the school and unite the club members.
He turned to look at the bead on the table. It was soaked in a crystal container, and it looked hazy. Yue Zilong had given it to him in the office, and it looked like all the club members were using it.
Without a doubt, the Calligraphy Club would become the most powerful club in the school, and it would be the first unofficial club in the Dragon Tribe.
Hao Ren walked out of the club office and went to the school office to find Yue Zilong.
Yue Zilong looked at the form Hao Ren gave him and signed it without saying anything. Then, he returned the form to Hao Ren.
These 50 items were neither precious nor ordinary, but they were excellent for Zhen-level cultivators.
Seeing Yue Zilong's gloomy face, Hao Ren didn't talk to him. He was about to walk out of the office with Yue Zilong's signature.
"I was going to return to the Dragon God Shrine, but Wang Shitong, the metal-elemental dragon cultivator who came to East Ocean City, was killed," Yue Zilong said suddenly.
"Wang Shitong …" Hao Ren was surprised.
This old man who was at peak Qian-level had fought with Yue Zilong. Hao Ren remembered that Yue Zilong didn't kill him, so how come this old man was killed?
"Wang Shitong is an elder of the metal-elemental dragon clan and the Zixuan Cave Master. This incident will definitely alert the elders of the metal-elemental dragon clan. You must be careful," Yue Zilong said lightly.
Yue Zilong didn't know that Wang Shitong was killed until one day later, and he was astonished.
This metal-elemental dragon cultivator was not only a member of the metal-elemental dragon clan and the Zixuan Cave Master, but he was also the disciple of the Taiyi Cave Master.
As one of the five major caves, Taiyi Cave had a powerful background. The Taiyi Cave Master had reached peak Qian-level 1,000 years ago. However, he had used some secret technique and didn't ascend to the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
Therefore, Taiyi Cave was almost the oldest clan in the metal-elemental dragon clan, and the direct disciple of the Taiyi Cave Master had a high status in the metal-elemental dragon clan.
Xu Ke hadn't reached Qian-level or Kun-level, so he wasn't an official disciple of Taiyi Cave yet. That was why Yue Zilong didn't think much of him. However, Wang Shitong was different. He was a disciple of Taiyi Cave and had established his own clan. His death in East Ocean City was a big deal.
However, Yue Zilong couldn't find out who killed Wang Shitong, who was a peak Qian-level cultivator, in the blink of an eye!
There were real masters hidden in East Ocean City, and they might be even more powerful than Soul Formation Realm cultivators! According to the intelligence from the Dragon God Shrine, Mrs. Hong had returned to the Demon Sea after a trip to the Kunlun Mountain, so she couldn't have done it.
Even the East Ocean Dragon Clan couldn't do it. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili might have been able to kill Wang Shitong, but they didn't have the motive, and they couldn't have done it so quickly …
The more Yue Zilong thought about it, the more frightened he became. That was why he decided to stay in East Ocean City!
The reason he told Hao Ren this news was to remind him to be careful and to see Hao Ren's reaction.
However, Hao Ren's reaction made Yue Zilong think that it had nothing to do with him.
"Ok … I got it." After a moment of consideration, Hao Ren left the office.
He didn't understand how Wang Shitong died in East Ocean City. "Maybe … Wang Shitong wanted to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm in East Ocean City and died …" he thought.
Walking out of the Administrative Building, Hao Ren saw that there weren't many students on the road in the drizzle.
Hao Ren put up a red energy sphere with all his Kan-level nature essence. If he had enough time, he wanted to go to the Dragon God Shrine and take back the things that Yue Zilong signed. Who knew if Yue Zilong would change his mind?
"Little White!" Hao Ren yelled.
There was no sound around him, and Hao Ren didn't know where Little White was hiding on such a rainy day.
The golden shield slowly climbed out of Hao Ren's necklace. The nature essence intensity in the necklace was slightly higher than outside, but as a supreme spiritual treasure, the golden shield also wanted some fresh air.
"Take me to the Dragon God Shrine!" Hao Ren said to it.
The golden shield circled around Hao Ren as if it was trying to figure out Hao Ren's intention.
Hum! It lowered its altitude slowly.
Hao Ren tried to step on the golden shield. Without injecting any nature essence, he pointed to the west, and the golden shield flew up!
Standing by the window, Yue Zilong was surprised when he saw that Hao Ren could control the supreme spiritual treasure. After all, all the supreme spiritual treasures with intelligence would look for a suitable place to cultivate and yearn for a free life. If one wasn't a powerful cultivator, he wouldn't be able to tame it!
In fact, Hao Ren didn't expect that the golden shield would show him such respect. However, on second thought, it had been bored in the necklace for a long time, and it wanted to get some fresh air, just like Little White did.
With Lady Zhen's purple gold hairpin lying quietly in the necklace, the golden shield couldn't escape even if it wanted to. It followed Hao Ren's order to get some fresh air.
The supreme spiritual treasure's flying speed was much faster than Little White's, and it was almost as fast as the purple gold hairpin. The difference was that Hao Ren had to inject metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence to drive the purple gold hairpin, but the golden shield could fly on its own without Hao Ren's nature essence.
With Hao Ren's current realm, it was impossible for him to drive the supreme spiritual treasure with his nature essence. Even Qian-level cultivators might not be able to drive it!
The golden shield had been lonely for hundreds of years, and it only had fun with Little White. It let Hao Ren step on its shield for Little White's sake!
Boom!
The golden shield streaked across the edge of Kunlun Mountain, flew for a while, and rushed high into the void.
The black token on Hao Ren's waist was activated automatically, and he charged into the array formation of the Dragon God Shrine!
Hum …
The golden shield turned into the size of a palm, but it didn't go back into Hao Ren's necklace. Instead, it hovered beside Hao Ren's ear.
"Young Master, please put away your dharma treasure," the two level 2 inspectors standing at the gate of the Dragon God Shrine said to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren's realm was low, but the token on his waist indicated that he was a level 3 inspector. Therefore, the two inspectors didn't dare to scold him.
Before Hao Ren could say anything, the golden shield suddenly released four blinding golden lights. The two level 2 inspectors who were blocking Hao Ren's way felt weak in the knees, and they took three steps back.
The golden shield liked the rich nature essence in the Dragon God Shrine very much! No one dared to stop it!
When it was about to fly in, it suddenly saw a thick pillar in the center of the Dragon God Shrine, and it suddenly shivered. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
