Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “I’ll go to the Kunlun Mountain with you,” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and said.

  “Kunlun?” Hao Ren was baffled.

  “Yeah.” Su Han nodded. “I went to the Dragon God Shrine and looked up the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus. It turned out that it came from Kunlun. We may find another lotus there.”

  Hao Ren suddenly understood that Su Han meant to look for another Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in Kunlun and realized that she left yesterday to look up the origin of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus in the Dragon God Shrine.

  Su Han did things in her own way. However, Hao Ren didn’t expect Su Han, who spent each second on cultivation and never minded other people’s business, would help him find information about the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus without being asked.

  At this thought, Hao Ren looked at the cold-faced Su Han and felt a bit touched.

  “Don’t be grateful. Helping you is helping myself. After all, the elevation in your realm is beneficial to me,” seeing the appreciation on Hao Ren’s face, Su Han said coldly.

  Her words dampened Hao Ren’s spirits like a basin of cold water.

  “Ugh… What do you know about the Kunlun Mountain?” Hao Ren immediately adjusted his mood and asked.

  “The Kunlun Mountain is the last territory that human cultivators have on First Heaven and a forbidden place for dragon cultivators. It’s equivalent to the holy place of our dragon cultivators, the Nine Dragon Palace, which is located on Fifth Heaven,” Su Han said.

  It was Xie Yujia’s first time to hear about this, and she listened carefully since it concerned Hao Ren’s future.

  Hao Ren vaguely remembered that when Su Han passed by the Kunlun Mountain on her way to the Sky Mountain in the northwest region, she was stopped by some cultivators and was let go due to her identity as an inspector.

  He didn’t know that the Kunlun Mountain was the last territory of the human cultivators on land instead of the territory of the dragon cultivators.

  “What kind of cultivators are in the Kunlun Mountain?” Hao Ren asked.

  “I don’t know the specifics, but it’s said that some Soul Formation Realm cultivators reside there. If you want to look for the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus, I’ll take the risk and go with you.” Su Han’s expression was calm while her tone was mild.

  “Soul Formation Realm cultivator…” Hao Ren thought of the old Grandma who sent Zhao Kuo, a master, flying. Although Su Han was at top-tier Qian-level, she was no match for a God Transformation Realm cultivator. “I’ll go with you,” Xie Yujia said suddenly.

  Hao Ren who had been in deep thought, turned his gaze toward Xie Yujia while Su Han looked toward Xie Yujia’s shoulder.

  “Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus… Kunlun Mountain…” Hao Ren was quite tempted. After all, compared with the three lotus seeds that required careful nurturing, it would be quite convenient if they could find a mature Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

  However, there were three risks. Firstly, there might not be more Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses. Secondly, the grandmasters on the Soul Formation Realm had unpredictable moods. Thirdly, Kunlun was the origin of the human cultivation sects, and the dragon cultivators were not allowed to enter.

  “Forget it; let’s not take risks.” After some consideration, Hao Ren decided against the idea.

  Just like how the Nine Dragons Palace didn’t welcome trespassing human cultivators, the Kunlun Mountain didn’t welcome dragon cultivators. Although Su Han’s cultivation strength was equivalent to a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, she couldn’t afford to mess with a Soul Formation Realm cultivator.

  “If you say so, we’ll postpone it.” Su Han exhaled lightly and looked at Xie Yujia. “Do you have any more Beauty Pills?”

  “Yeah, I have some.” Xie Yujia immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her bracelet.

  Su Han took it and found three pills in it. With a big smile, she said. “Just give me two pills.”

  “It’s ok; take them all!” Xie Yujia said without hesitation.

  With her current elixir making skills, it wasn’t hard for her to make Beauty Pills as long as she got all the necessary materials.

  “Ok!” Su Han didn’t reject it. Putting the small porcelain bottle into her bracelet, she said in satisfaction, “I won’t take your pills for nothing. How about this? I’ll tutor your cultivation before you reach the Core Formation Realm?”

  Su Han’s realm was equivalent to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm. Although she didn’t know anything about the Essence Cultivation Scroll, her experience could still benefit Xie Yujia.

  Xie Yujia had been probing along all by herself in cultivation and was happy to get mentored by Su Han, a cultivation maniac.

  “Then… How about me?” Hao Ren immediately leaned over and asked.

  Su Han’s face turned cold instantly. “Get out. I am about to tutor Yujia with her cultivation.”

  “Ugh…” Hao Ren lowered his head in powerlessness, and he was pushed out of the door by a huge force pressing on his chest.

  453 Elixir Master on Fifth Heaven~

  The two classes in the afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

  Since the final exams were drawing near, the teachers would give them key points for the exams in the last few classes, and Hao Ren paid more attention to these classes.

  He could borrow Xie Yujia’s notes for the courses he took with her.

  However, for the courses he didn’t take with her, he had to consult her old notes which might cover different key points from those of his own exams. As to the courses he had selected with Zhao Jiayi and the others which Xie Yujia hadn’t taken, he was on his own.

  Zhou Liren and others were no help at all since they had to rely on Hao Ren before they could get help from Xie Yujia. Despite skipping classes, Hao Ren had a sharp memory.

  After the morning classes, it was noon and lunchtime.

  “Gongzi!”

  Lu Lili’s clear voice sounded outside of the academic building gate.

  Walking out of the building with Zhou Liren and the others, Hao Ren saw Lu Lili and then Lu Linlin a moment later.

  Pouting, Lu Linlin’s long face indicated that she was probably still angry at Hao Ren for peeking at them in their room with spiritual senses.

  However, Lu Lili was warm to Hao Ren, thinking it was ok as long as it was Hao Ren.

  Zhou Liren and others saw the Lu sisters and their eyes lit up instantly.

  Lu Linlin looked cold, but Lu Lili was smiling and waving enthusiastically, showing two kinds of beauty.

  Ruff! Ruff!

  Little White shot out from a nearby bush and trotted toward Hao Ren.

  “Sister, don’t be mad. I’m sure Gongzi didn’t do it on purpose.” Lu Lili pulled Lu Linlin toward Hao Ren.

  Seeing the Lu sisters coming over, Zhou Liren and others were dazed.

  Little White crawled up from Hao Ren’s knee to his arms, and its wet paws left paw prints on his clothes.

  “Gongzi!” Lu Linlin walked to Hao Ren’s side and greeted him sweetly.

  “Well, how was your class today?” Hao Ren asked them.

  “Very good. We are in the final preparation stage for the exams,” Lu Lili said sweetly.

  They were one year lower than Hao Ren and studied in the Films Program, and it was hard for them to meet Hao Ren on campus if they didn’t come over to see him.

  “Let’s go! Lunch is on me!” Hao Ren said.

  “Great! Thank you, Gongzi!” Lu Lili smiled with pleasure, and her eyes curved up like pretty new moons.

  Glancing at Lu Lili, Lu Linlin silently lamented about her sister’s lack of principles. However, looking at Hao Ren, she softened and allowed herself to be pulled toward the cafeteria with a pout.

  “This is too much! Too much…” Following Hao Ren to the cafeteria, Zhou Liren silently cussed Hao Ren 100 times. “Inviting beauties to eat in the cafeteria! Only Hao Ren can do such an ungentlemanly thing!”

  However, Lu Lili had no objections,
and she smiled with great pleasure!

  “It’s fate…” Standing at 1.8 meters, Zhou Liren almost beat his chest for the unfairness of fate.

  The cafeteria was not crowded since most students had finished lunch quickly to grab seats in the library or study rooms for the preparation of the exams.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili chose a quiet place and took seats while Hao Ren went to buy food with his prepaid cafeteria card.

  Zhou Liren was burning with envy seeing the two super beauties waiting for Hao Ren to buy them food.

  Looking at Hao Ren’s casual expression, Zhou Liren suspected that he had eaten many meals with the twin beauties!

  “He seemed so careless while many guys in the school didn’t even have the opportunity to get close to the girls,” Zhou Liren thought. He didn’t know that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had spent several nights in Hao Ren’s home…

  While Hao Ren carried three platters of food over, Zhou Liren, Zhao Jiayi, Gu Jiadong, and the others immediately took seats at the nearby table.

  It was a rare opportunity for them to look at the famous beauties of the school at such a close range.

  While their eyes were locked on the Lu sisters, they almost sent the stewed pork to their noses.

  At this moment, Xie Yujia and Su Han came into their sight with platters of food in their hands.

  “Su Han!” Hao Ren waved at her casually.

  Zhao Jiayi and others shrunk their necks subconsciously at Hao Ren’s call.

  Hao Ren dared to call Su Han by her name, and he did it in the cafeteria!

  To their astonishment, Su Han’s expression didn’t change while she led Xie Yujia to Hao Ren’s side and sat opposite him.

  At this sight, Zhao Jiayi and the others gaped so much that their jaws almost dropped.

  It was strange enough to see Xie Yujia and Su Han having lunch together, and more astonishing to see Su Han coming to Hao Ren’s side at his beckoning and sitting down at his table!

  Instantly, they were stunned!

  They didn’t know that Su Han could easily find Hao Ren’s whereabouts on campus since both of them wore the inspectors’ tokens.

  Seeing four beauties eating lunch with Hao Ren, Gu Jiadong and the others almost shivered with shock.

  Zhou Liren was especially excited, and even his legs shook, wishing that he could be in Hao Ren’s place.

  “Yujia told me that you are doing well on Fifth Heaven, is that so?” Su Han asked while eating her soup elegantly.

  “Yeah. Zhen Congming built an array formation, and I cut out some cave abodes.” Hao Ren looked up at Su Han. “Do you want to visit it?”

  “Can’t go these days; maybe later.” Su Han glanced at him. “In a few days, you must go to the Dragon God Shrine with me for formal registration.

  “Ok…” Hao Ren answered. In the inspector system, Su Han was his guide and senior.

  Now that he had become an official inspector, he could enter the interior of the Dragon God Shrine, the huge black building shaped like a square tower.

  “Yujia, how was the lesson today?” Hao Ren changed the subject and asked Xie Yujia.

  “Em, Ms. Su… Sister Su was very detailed with her teaching, and I probably can reach mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm in one month with the aid of elixirs,” Xie Yujia said.

  She couldn’t call Su Han Ms. Su, and she was too shy to call her by her full name. However, Sister Su sounded good.

  “Why don’t you teach me as well?” Hao Ren complained.

  “I don’t have the energy to teach the two of you at the same time.” Su Han rolled her eyes and stood up with her platter. “I’m done, so I’ll be going now.”

  Su Han’s dissatisfied expression sent shivers to Zhou Liren; he shivered not because of fear but of excitement! “Even when Su Han rolls her eyes, she is still so alluring!” he thought.

  After Hao Ren looked at Su Han and turned back his head, he suddenly noticed that all the guys in the cafeteria were looking his way, and some were even swarming over.

  Obviously, Su Han, who liked to be quiet, didn’t appreciate to be watched like this.

  “We’ll go to Fifth Heaven later, and I’ll help you arrange,” Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia.

  “Ok.” Xie Yujia nodded slightly.

  Last night after Hao Ren acquired the secret technique about the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus from the Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven, Xie Yujia spent the entire morning carefully studying this ancient script before they returned home and summarized several conditions for growing the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

  Firstly, they must have eight kinds of level 6 spiritual herbs to make the flower fertilizer. The so-called level 6 spiritual herbs were the best materials in nature for making elixir pills, and the Seven-Color Snow Lotuses Hao Ren took to save Zhao Kuo’s life was one of them.

  Secondly, they needed two five-elemental cultivators with the same cultivation strengths, preferably top-tier Nascent Soul Realm, to use their vital energy to and activate the nature essence in the lotus seeds.

  Thirdly, they needed a complicated array formation to collect the nature essence from nature and feed it to the seeds of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

  Fourthly, they needed fertilizer, or feces from spirit beasts, preferably snow lions.

  Fifthly and the most importantly, they must have the seeds of the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

  All these conditions were extremely hard to achieve, and no wonder the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotuses had almost become extinct.

  For example, the first condition of getting eight kinds of level 6 spiritual herbs to make the flower fertilizer was already though. In the whole world, there were only ten kinds of the so-called level 6 spiritual herbs.

  The most astonishing discovery for Hao Ren was the miraculous effect of Little White’s poop!

  However, on second thought, he understood the prosperity of the Seven-Color Snow Lotuses in the Lion Cave at the Sky Mountain on First Heaven! It was probably due to the poop of the snow lions.

  It seemed like the reason behind Sky Mountain Sect’s specialty in raising snow lions was to grow the spiritual herbs for making elixirs.

  After reading this rare technique, Hao Ren got a sudden understanding of it all.

  Ruff! Ruff!

  Little White rubbed its head against Hao Ren’s legs and barked.

  Hao Ren looked down at it and suddenly felt like this little creature was quite cute… He tossed a big pork rib at Little White, and it barked cheerfully and began gnawing at it while holding the bone with its two front paws.

  With help from the Lu sisters, Zhen Congming, and Little White, all the conditions were not hard to meet, except for the first one. It was hard to collect eight kinds of level 6 spiritual herbs.

  They had to feed the spiritual herbs with spiritual herbs.

  They could also feed Little White with elixir pills, and its high-quality fertilizer would grow many high-quality spiritual herbs which could be made into elixir pills. Then, they would collect more materials with these elixir pills…

  Half an hour later, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia came to the valley entrance of the Ethereal Summit.

  Hao Ren made a small wooden board, and he wrote on it with charcoal: Seeking ten 10,000-year-old spiritual herbs for the price of 100 level 4 Foundation Establishment Pills.

  He didn’t know what effect this offer would create on Fifth Heaven.

  However, some cultivators had recently come to the entrance of the valley to ask for elixir pills, and soft-hearted Xie Yujia had tossed them some level 3 pills which she considered trash with Zhen Congming’s standard.

  In a small circle around the territory near the Ethereal Summit, the rumors were circulating about an elixir master on the Nascent Soul Realm living in the Herb King Valley.

  “That’s it. Let’s see what happens,” looking at the small wooden bulletin board which looked like a forum, Hao Ren dusted off his hands and said lightly.

  “Ok!” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren
gently, finding that everything was a pleasure to her as long as she was with him.

  “Then…” Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia and rubbed his hands. “I’ll make a trip to the Kunlun Mountain.”

  “Huh?” Xie Yujia was alarmed.

  “I declined Su Han’s offer because I don’t want her to take risks for me, but her information is very important, and I plan to go myself,” Hao Ren said with a smile.

  454 Soul Formation Realm Master~

  “This…” Xie Yujia tensed up immediately.

  “I’ll just go there and have a look. Little White flies fast, and I’ll be fine,” Hao Ren said.

  “Then… I’ll go with you!” Xie Yujia said after a moment of consideration.

  Ruff… Little White jumped around Hao Ren’s feet.

  Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds. He told Xie Yujia his plan, so she would know where he was trapped if he couldn’t make it back.

  However, he didn’t plan to take her with him.

  “If we are just there to take a look, I don’t think anything will happen to us,” Xie Yujia said.

  She was afraid that Hao Ren would venture deep into the Kunlun Mountain and get into danger. If she went with him, she could stop him when necessary.

  “Ok! Then, we should go now so that we can make it back early.” Hao Ren clutched Little White’s ears.

  Bam! Little White turned into a magnificent snow lion, and the golden fur on its four legs emitted radiant light.

  After Hao Ren and Xie Yujia got up on its back, Little White shot up with colorful light beneath its paws.

  Hao Ren and Su Han went to the Sky Mountain in the northwest to collect snow lotuses, and they had passed by the Kunlun Mountain. Therefore, Hao Ren had a vague impression of Kunlun’s general direction.

  They flew in the clouds on Second Heaven, and Hao Ren created an energy sphere to block the tiny raindrops.

  Sitting behind Hao Ren with her hands around Hao Ren’s waist and her face against his back, Xie Yujia looked at the small and dense raindrops flying around them and felt somewhat melancholy.

  “I live in Kunlun, and I see immortals. They left for heaven, and I missed the opportunity to follow them,” Thinking of this poem by Cao Cao, Xie Yujia tightened her arms subconsciously.
