se control over force... Su Han was greatly surprised. She gripped the sword tighter and then counterattacked along Hao Ren's sword.Hao Ren smiled lightly, taking half a step back and pulling順勢帶過, cau...Chapter 351: Hmph

Han and Zhen Cunming returned to the villa. It was already evening when they got back. The house was bustling with activity, as Lu L琳琳 and Lu Helili were visiting. Their long ponytails fluttered behind them as they darted around the living room like colorful butterflies, serving dishes and tidying up tables; lively yet considerate, qualities that both sisters possessed.

Grandma looked at Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili bustling about joyfully, then upon seeing Hao Ren return, she immediately called out, "Ah Ren! Why have you been away all day again!"

"Grandma, we went to the beach today," Zhen Cunming ran up to Grandma.

The way he was being cute right now, it was just like a talking version of Xiao Bai; this immediately made Hao Ren shudder in disgust.

However, Grandma loved spoiling Zhen Cunming. She smiled warmly and said, "Good, good! As long as you're having fun!"

If not for Lu L琳琳 and Lu Helili coming over to keep her company today, she would have been bored stiff at home. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were also home on weekends, but they didn't talk with her the way the Lu sisters did; they just let her watch TV or look at their research.

But Lu L琳琳 and Lu Helili kept her entertained by chatting with her, telling jokes to lift her spirits, and massaging her back, making Grandma feel extremely comfortable.

If the sisters didn't mind it, Grandma would have loved to adopt them as her goddaughters.

That way, even if she only had Hao Ren for a grandson, she'd still be surrounded by family. What an elderly person cares about is just this warmth and affection, right

"Young Master! We're staying here tonight!" Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili bounced over to Hao Ren and said happily.

They were under Grandma's protection as the "boss", so what could Hao Ren say If Grandma wanted them to stay, he naturally had no choice but to agree.

"Young Master seems to have improved his cultivation realm today," Lu L琳琳 whispered into Hao Ren's ear with a mischievous smile.

Lu Lilili’s eyes sparkled like crescent moons; she was equally delighted as she said, "Tonight we're going to test Young Master's attributes in his room!"

Hao Ren looked at them helplessly. He knew they'd cause a ruckus when they came over.

"Dinner time! Dinner time!" Yue Yang, who was standing by the dining table, shouted when she saw Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili pestering Hao Ren.

She didn't dislike Lu L琳琳 and Lu Helili; it's just that there were too many girls around Hao Ren for her liking, which made her a little worried.

The dinner ended happily. Xiao Bai squatted beside the table, chomping away at a full bowl of meat, also eating very heartily.

Living in such a comfortable environment, Xiao Bai had long since dropped its lion's heart. After stuffing itself, it patted its belly and rolled around on the carpet.

The four golden claws made it look especially cute; even Yue Yang, who didn't like pets much, couldn't help adding two bowls of braised pork to its meal.

"Mom, I need to go out again," Hao Ren said as he remembered Zhao Yanzi’s foundation-building pills.

Yue Yang, busy washing dishes, complained, "Why are you always going out!" Xie Yujia beside her could only smile helplessly.

"Young Master! We're coming with you!" Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili followed Hao Ren out in a flash. Grandma shook her head and laughed as she scooped Zhen Cunming into her arms, his chubby face looking like that of a little tiger.

Wielding the protective barrier and standing on air blades, Hao Ren shot towards the Dragon Palace over the East Sea at high speed; Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili followed closely behind him, truly acting as assistants.

The trio entered deep sea waters directly. Zhao Yanzi was ravenously waiting inside a small palace when she suddenly heard footsteps coming in from outside. She hurriedly opened the door.

However, to her disappointment, Hao Ren wasn't carrying his usual bag of snacks; he came empty-handed this time.

"Ah Zi!" Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili waved at Zhao Yanzi from outside the palace.

“Sis Linlin, Sis Lilili,” Zhao Yanzi smiled back and waved her hands to them.

Zhao Yanzi had no bad feelings towards the Lu sisters because they were close with Elder Lu and acted like children. Plus, she remembered that the sisters didn't always stick around Hao Ren either.

In comparison, Xie Yujia made her more uncomfortable.

Seeing Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili standing by the small palace's entrance, Zhao Yanzi turned to Xia Chengxiang, who was also at the door. She dragged out her words: "Xia Chengxiang."

The tone of her voice was pitifully sweet; Xia Chengxiang felt helpless but waved inside when he saw no one around.

Lu L琳琳 and Lu Lilili were quick to jump into the small palace and then entered Zhao Yanzi’s room.

In the past, Xia Chengxiang often visited them in the cold palace. Now that they had been released, both sisters remembered his kindness and felt a certain bond with him.

"Hmm! Hmm!" Xia Chengxiang cleared his throat formally at the door; this was to keep watch for them.

Zhao Yanzi in her room was delighted. She thought only Hao Ren would be coming to visit but now there were two more people.

“You’ve finished all your snacks” Upon seeing Zhao Yanzi’s empty bed, Hao Ren asked with surprise when he first saw it.

"So what if I eat it all What's the big deal!" Zhao Yanzǐ raised her head almost baring her teeth.

"Nothing much," Hao Ren took two steps back and then pulled out a pill from around his neck, "Here you go!"

"What is this" Zhao Yanzǐ narrowed her eyes while looking at the medicine pill in Hao Ren's hand with disdain.

"Young Master, these are grade four Foundation Establishment Pills," Lu Līlín said happily.

Zhao Yanzǐ was not an expert on medicinal pills, but the Lu sisters were quite experienced and immediately recognized the quality of this pill.

In fact, they had seen many high-quality ninth-grade Golden Dan Pill in their lives. However, in a place where there's little Spirit Qi like the First Level Sky, and considering that it’s difficult to refine pills for dragon cultivators, grade four medicinal pills are already considered very high-end.

In the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the best quality of medicinal pills they had was only grade three, with most of them being grade two.

Those who can refine grade four medicinal pills must be grade four pill refiners. However, in the First Level Sky, there are almost no such qualified pill refiners.

Zhen Cōngmíng didn’t belong to any dragon clan’s power, and he never offered to help with refining pills unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, everyone only knew of the third-grade pill refiner from the Dragon Palace in the West Sea.

It was exactly because they had a third-grade pill refiner that the Dragon Palace in the West Sea could produce an endless supply of medicinal pills, and their quality surpassed other dragon palaces. Additionally, due to its specialty product – West Sea Mystic Ice, it made their cultivation strength far exceed the other three dragon palaces.

"Grade four" Zhao Yanzǐ blinked her eyes in surprise as well.

She had never cared much about cultivation before, but she did know some things. For example, grade-four Qi replenishing pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, and detoxifying pills were not something that could be casually taken out from a dragon palace.

Of course, even in the Fifth Level Sky where everyone was trying to refine pills, third-grade and fourth-grade medicinal pills weren’t common. So, it made the small sect of the Mysterious Peak branch extremely excited when they received one-third grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Yes, this is a grade four pill. It’s one that Xie Yujia refined today just for you," Hao Ren explained.

“Oh.” Her expression suddenly turned cold as she heard it was made by her.

"She did it with good intentions and spent two hours refining it. Why do you have such a look" Hao Ren looked at her disapprovingly.

Hearing Hao Ren's words, Zhao Yanzǐ snorted in disdain, wanting to throw the pill back at him but hesitated as she felt it was too precious.

She had already reached the tenth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm and needed only a little more effort to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, all the Foundation Establishment Pills stored in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea were grade two, at best stabilizing her cultivation but not allowing for any breakthrough.

But this grade four Foundation Establishment Pill...

Xie Yujia said you are now in the tenth layer of Qi Condensation Realm and need a Foundation Establishment Pill," Hao Ren continued to explain.

Zhao Yanzǐ's corner mouth twitched as if she didn’t quite believe it but her heart softened slightly.

Why is this person so kind Zhao Yanzǐ thought with reluctance.

"Miss, take the medicine now," Lu Lili suggested from the side.

Zhao Yanzǐ looked at them and then swallowed the light gray pill into her mouth.

She knew that Lu Līlín and Lu Lili were experts on par with Su Hán. With them around, it would be safer for her to breakthrough.

The moment she swallowed the pill, a strong spirit Qi spread out from her nose.

Foundation Establishment Pills of grade two are the lowest quality, while those of grade three and four are better. Among them, Foundation Establishment Pills of grade three can help Qi Condensation Realm cultivators break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm but there's always a risk that they may fail.

However, with grade-four Foundation Establishment Pills, the success rate would significantly increase. But generally speaking, such pills are usually not given to junior disciples for breakthroughs.

Zhao Yanzǐ could use a grade four Foundation Establishment Pill to assist her in breaking through – this kind of opportunity was only available to the children and nephews of elders who hold power in the Sixth Level Sky. And as for someone like Xie Yujia, who swallows one grade-four Foundation Establishment Pill daily to improve her constitution, it is truly a luxurious practice.

Inside the room, there was immediately an aroma of medicinal herbs permeating the air. The spirit Qi from these materials, after being refined into pills, would return and enter Zhao Yanzǐ's body.

Zhao Yanzǐ did not dare to be careless with such a pill either; she promptly sat on the bed and circulated her Qi Condensation Art.

"If it goes normally, you'll need one day and night. It may or may not succeed," Lu Līlín said at this time.

"It might fail" Hao Ren perked up his ears.

Zhao Yanzǐ clenched her teeth tightly as if she was struggling to break through a bottleneck.

"But by using the Foundation Establishment Pill as an aid and continuously inputting spirit Qi, it won’t go wrong," Lu Līlín continued.

“What should I do then” Zhao Yanzǐ sitting on the bed asked.

No matter what, she still wished to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was too frustrating for her that after being a Shaking Level cultivator, she had now become an ordinary person who couldn’t even use spirit Qi.

"Young Master can help Miss regulate her energy flow," Lu Līlín smiled and said.

“You guys can't do it” Hao Ren hurriedly asked them.

"Our cultivation methods are completely different from those of the Young Mistress. They're also different from those of Master, otherwise we would have helped Master advance in境界long ago," said Lu L琳琳. Lu 莉Lili beside her nodded vigorously.

All they could do was detect Hao Ren's body attributes and give him some cultivation suggestions.

"But the Sword Technique of Splitting Light and Shadow that Master practices is one where he cultivates all five elements together, which can provide the most stable spiritual energy. Also, Master and Young Mistress only differ by two realms, so it would be best if Master helped her break through," said Lu L琳琳.

"Alright then, let me do this!" Hao Ren took a few steps forward and extended his hand towards Zhao Yanzǐ.

"Master, you need to place your palm against Young Mistress's back for the spiritual energy to enter," said Lu 莉Lili as she stepped back two paces. She spoke timidly.

"What! I have to touch her back!" Zhao Yanzǐ almost jumped out of her skin in surprise.

"Not only that, it can't be through clothes," said Lu 琳琳promptly adding another sentence.

"You guys... why didn't you say earlier" Zhao Yanzǐ glared with regret and vexation. There was only one Foundation Pill left, and she definitely did not want to ask Xie Yujia for another one with a thick face.

"My sister is slow; by the time she finishes speaking, you've already swallowed it," said Lu 琳琳.

In fact, in Zhao Yanzǐ's case, all she needed was to find a Dragon Clan cultivator who specialized in Water Attribute cultivation. However, at this moment...

"Can I keep one piece of underwear" Zhao Yanzǐ turned her head slightly and asked Lu 琳琳.

While the effects of the medicine had yet to fade, Zhao Yanzǐ indeed wanted to break through to Foundation Establishment once and for all.

"It's a little worse, but it will do," replied Lu 琳琳.

"Cough cough..." Hao Ren cleared his throat without making any remarks.

“Alright!” Zhao Yanzǐ gritted her teeth and had the standing Lu sisters pull up the corners of the quilt. With a rustling sound, she called out to Hao Ren. "Hurry up!"

Hao Ren turned slightly and saw Zhao Yanzǐ wrapped in the quilt, wearing only a thin “sweetheart” top on her upper body with her back towards him.

Her short ponytail was already undone; black hair could just cover her neck.

However, both shoulders, a small patch of back, and a segment of waist below "sweetheart" were exposed to Hao Ren’s view.

The delicate skin seemed to have a hint of pink.

To successfully establish her foundation, she had gone all out. Moreover, with Lu L琳琳and Lu 莉Lili around, she wasn't afraid that Hao Ren would do anything "naughty."

Spiritual energy within her body was clashing chaotically; at her half-hearted cultivation level, it really couldn't be restrained.

She had an excellent constitution and was naturally endowed with the Water Attribute. After losing her dragon core, she became所謂的"pure water spirit root", so in a short time, she could reach the tenth layer of Qi Condensation Realm.

However, this also meant that her realm wasn't stable. For cultivators above Fifth Layer Sky to reach the tenth layer of Qi Condensation Realm, they would still need half a year or a full year before attempting Foundation Establishment.

"Sweetheart" was an intimate item, naturally not very thick. It faintly revealed Zhao Yanzǐ's smooth back.

Hao Ren took a deep breath and stepped forward to place his palms on Zhao Yanzǐ’s shoulder blades.

Thin and slippery...

"I already touched you! I don't mind!" Zhao Yanzǐ called out, unable to resist adding, "Uncle Creep!"

Xia Chengxiang standing outside was stunned for a few seconds as he pondered the meaning of this "touch". Then, he thought that with Lu L琳琳and Lu 莉Lili inside, nothing should go wrong.

If...

Before the Fiancé officially marries into his in-laws’ family, he absolutely cannot touch his in-law’s daughter-in-law.

In the room, Hao Ren's face turned red after hearing Zhao Yanzǐ’s words. He was the typical homebody type: bold but timid. When with Zhou Liren and others, they would talk big together, but when faced with girls, he became extremely nervous.

Especially a junior high school beauty like Zhao Yanzǐ, who were now one more powerful than the other, Hao Ren was clearly no match for her.

"Master can't be distracted," reminded Lu 莉Lili.

"Cold to death! Hurry up!" Zhao Yanzǐ urged again.

With his hand on Zhao Yanzǐ's shoulder, Hao Ren focused and poured the surging water attribute spiritual energy through her wrist into her meridians.

This was like when Su Han held onto Hao Ren’s wrist to transport him spiritual energy so he could use sword qi for painting with ink.

The Sword Technique of Splitting Light and Shadow could absorb, convert, and also output spiritual energy.

Especially since Hao Ren cultivated all five elements simultaneously, his technique was stable; it was almost the best device for releasing spiritual energy. Pure water attribute input had no impact on him personally, while the outputted spiritual energy was akin to sword qi under Hao Ren’s control.

Zhao Yanzǐ's body Chaotic spiritual energy. When Hè Rén’s water elemental spiritual energy entered, it immediately sorted out the scattered spiritual energy. The sword qi could absorb and emit; Zhao Yanzǐ didn’t have any resistance either. Thus, this spiritual energy flowed smoothly through Zhao Yanzǐ’s meridians.

The originally breathless Zhao Yanzǐ gradually calmed down, following Hè Rén's guiding sword qi step by step.

This comfortable feeling made her heart flutter, as if Hè Rén's sword qi had seen through her entire body and walked through it. Wasn’t this a form of...

"Young Mistress, you can't be distracted either!" Lù Līlǐ reminded Zhao Yanzǐ again.

The term "young mistress" made Zhao Yanzǐ very pleased; however, she didn't know that the Lù sisters called Xiè Yujia “headmistress”...

The foundation-building pill slowly released its spiritual energy, following Hè Rén's sword qi to gradually diffuse through Zhao Yanzǐ’s meridians.

Reaching the tenth layer of Essence Refinement stage meant all the meridians in her body were unblocked. To enter the Foundation Establishment stage, one needed to break through an "Dao Heart."

The spiritual energy circulating according to the Essence Refinement technique followed Hè Rén's water elemental spiritual energy, circling round and round.

Through Ren Channel, Du Channel, Chong Channel, Dai Channel, Yin Qiao Channel, Yang Qiao Channel, Yin Wei Channel, and Yang Wei Channel, the foundation-building pill’s spiritual energy circulated through these meridians.

The Concentration Technique and Essence Refinement Technique are both basic cultivation methods. There is a shared aspect in their practice. Moreover, Hè Rén had also studied the Essence Refinement Technique from the Daoist scripture. Even when he broke through back then, it was his maternal grandmother who infused him with the inner technique of "Essence Refinement." Therefore, Hè Rén knew how to guide Zhao Yanzǐ using spiritual energy without any hindrance.

Sweat slightly gathered in his palm as Zhao Yanzǐ's back became hot.

...

All the spiritual energies were衝擊趙焰紫的天頂。

身體裡積攢的靈氣，一下子變得粉碎。

渾身癱軟無力，幾乎坐不住了，郝仁急忙伸手扶住她，把她靠到自己懷裡。周圍的靈氣，一片片湧向她的身體。然而這身邊的靈氣又如何滿足突破後的新身體？

...

此時，築基丹的靈氣發生效用，迅速彌補趙焰紫流失的靈力，形成一股暖流，在趙焰紫的丹田附近團聚。

不破不立。築基就是要捨棄所有的靈力，重新生成新的靈力。

< br>

若是存有執念，捨不得放棄煉氣期積攢的靈氣，也就得不到窺視天道的道心。也隻有放掉以前的種種，才意味著放棄凡人的身份，從此踏入修仙之門。

築基之所以難，一是舍，二是得。用儘全身靈力後，必須立刻獲得新的靈力，如果第二步冇做到，築基就會失敗。築基丹預存靈氣的效果使得修煉之人得到一個“新”的軀體。

軟綿綿地靠在郝仁懷裡的趙焰紫臉通紅。

"Oh, I thought you didn't mind," Hè Rén looked down at Zhao Yanzǐ in his arms and said with a smile.

"You..." Zhao Yanzǐ bit her teeth, wanting to stretch towards him but lacking the strength.

“Do I need to give her more spiritual energy” Hè Rén turned around to ask Lù Līlǐ and Lù Lílǐ beside him.

"No need, sir. The foundation-building pill provides the young mistress with initial pure spiritual energy; she only needs to slowly recover now," replied Lù Lílǐ.

“Okay then.” Hè Rén picked up Zhao Yanzǐ wearing only a small outfit and put her on the wooden bed, covering her with a blanket. "Little girl, you have quite an impressive figure," he thought to himself as he glanced at her front.

Zhao Yanzǐ clearly saw Hè Rén's gaze pass over but lacked the strength to rebuke him even if she wanted to. She didn't even have enough energy left to glare.

Her face was flushed with embarrassment rather than anger.

"Marquis Hao, it’s time for dinner!" shouted Xià Chéngxiàng from outside.

Hè Rén knew better and didn't linger in Zhao Yanzǐ's room. He waved at Lù Līlǐ and Lù Lílǐ to bring them out.

"Rest well tonight, and solidify your cultivation realm tomorrow," Hè Rên said as he turned around to leave the room.

Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel... Zhao Yanzǐ repeated "scoundrel" a hundred times in her mind but couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.

"Let's go back," Hè Rén said despite his lingering concerns. Following the rules of the Dragon Palace was necessary. He led Lù sisters out of the small palace.

Tomorrow, Zhao Yanzǐ would certainly be full of energy after successfully establishing her foundation. The stronger she became, the more unpredictable she might become. Hè Rén sighed slightly.

However, I’m at the Core Formation stage; she won’t bully me too much in the future as a little wife-to-be. Thinking about it, he felt that improving his strength was necessary; otherwise, who knows how powerful this little girl would become

Hmm, her skin is indeed very elastic...

Whoosh...

Hè Rén broke through the seawater under Xià Chéngxiàng’s gaze and led Lù sisters out of the East Sea Dragon Palace.o郝仁's ear and gently rotated it, she was startled to find a large piece of earwax.Han Ren had been struck by Golden Thunder once, causing wild lightning power to cleanse his body of all impurities.
