Chapter 618: Holy Infant Finally Formed, Second Immortalization (10,000-character update, seeking monthly votes!)
Obviously, although the Mi Xu Heaven was isolated from the outside world, news from the outside still reached here.
Li Hao said: "I don't dare to be called a monster. My name is Haotian."
"I have heard of your name, a rare talent in the heavens for a hundred thousand years, not a reincarnated body, but comparable to a reincarnated Saint. My disciple showed me your battle projection. It is indeed wonderful."
The Mi Tian Saint smiled slightly, his eyes undisguisedly appreciating Li Hao.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised, smiled lightly, and said: "Senior is over-praising."
Mi said: "I heard that the sixth extreme realm can master a trace of Immortal Power. If you can use that trace of Immortal Power as guidance, maybe I can refine a real Immortal pill."
"Maybe we can try."
Li Hao suggested.
"Hmm."
The Mi Tian Saint agreed, and immediately called his disciple, who was also a Saint, to prepare the alchemy room and do the preparatory work.
Refining an Immortal pill, besides the alchemy room and other auxiliary medicinal materials, also requires cooperation with a large array to condense the Saint pulse power of the Holy Land and pour it into the alchemy room to ensure the power is full.
This preparatory work took half a month. Li Hao had nothing to do, and at the invitation of the Mi Tian Saint, he temporarily stayed in the Mi Xu Heaven.
"Does the old man also like the Dao of Chess?"
Li Hao saw the Mi Tian Saint's courtyard, which was extremely simple. Besides another medicine garden, there were also hoes, soil shovels, etc. forged from divine weapons, as if it were an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, just looking extremely clean.
Besides the teapot and the two cranes scattered, there was also a chessboard placed in a seat in the courtyard.
"Hmm, living too long, nothing to do, always like to study something else. This Dao of Chess is quite exquisite, which is interesting. Do you understand it too?"
The Mi Tian Saint invited Li Hao to be a guest in his courtyard. His intention was to serve Li Hao tea. This was tea leaves he cultivated, picked, and fried himself, which had miraculous effects, could increase cultivation, calm the mind, and had the effect of consolidating the Dao Heart.
If there were distracting thoughts in the heart, a cup of tea could also purify and release them all.
"Slightly understand."
Li Hao was somewhat interested. It was rare to meet someone with the same hobby, so he took the initiative to say: "How about a game?"
The Mi Tian Saint heard this, put down the soil shovel, smiled and said: "Then let me accompany you."
After saying that, he tidied up the mud on his clothes, patted his sleeves, invited Li Hao to sit in the seat, and then beckoned to take the tea water prepared earlier.
He poured tea for Li Hao first, and while pouring, said: "In the past, I always let the little crane accompany me. Although those disciples of mine know this hobby of mine and learn it to please me, there are too many distracting thoughts on the chessboard, and winning or losing is not enjoyable. Don't show mercy."
He prepared a cup for himself, acting casually and indifferently.
Li Hao tasted a sip, feeling that besides the tea fragrance refreshing the heart, it made his whole body's power surging and active. In addition, this tea water had a wonderful fragrance in the body. He couldn't help but praise:
"Good tea!"
Subsequently, the two drank tea and played chess.
Falling pieces in the Dao of Chess, true skills can be seen in three or five steps.
After falling a few hands, the casual smile on the Mi Tian Saint's face became a bit more solemn, seeing that Li Hao's Dao of Chess was by no means juggling, but quite exquisite.
Now, Li Hao's Dao of Chess was at the eighth stage, which was considered a first-class level in the heavens.
"Not bad, not bad..."
The Mi Tian Saint no longer fell pieces casually, his face full of smiles.
Li Hao also saw the other party's chess strength, which was better than his own, which was very rare. He couldn't help but be somewhat happy.
In the first game, Li Hao was defeated, but Li Hao had a feeling of happiness, rare to meet someone who was a match for him.
In the following days, Li Hao was in the Mi Tian Saint's small courtyard. Besides the two playing chess, he also accompanied the Mi Tian Saint to look at medicinal materials in the medicine garden. The other party held a small shovel, weeding those medicinal materials, adjusting the roots and stems of the medicinal materials, pruning useless branches and leaves, etc., and at the same time casually said many things related to medicinal materials to Li Hao.
Although Li Hao had no interest, he listened quietly.
As the relationship between each other became more familiar, Li Hao found that this old man was quite kind. He was somewhat puzzled. At the end of a game, he asked:
"Old man, back then Old Man Feng and the Da Da Huang Tian Saint, I heard they were both your disciples. Because of what happened, they left here?"
Hearing Li Hao ask about this, the smile on the Mi Tian Saint's face just after winning suddenly converged a lot. He was silent for a long time, drank tea, then adjusted his sitting posture, and looked at the distance outside the eaves.
"Speaking of which, it was because I was arrogant and proud when I was young, and I believed in myself too much in everything I did, acting arbitrarily, and wronged them."
"Oh?"
Li Hao was somewhat surprised. This old man looked very easy-going, and it was hard to imagine that he would be an arrogant and self-centered person.
But he knew that time would change a person. Even for ordinary people with a life of only a hundred years, things they hated in childhood might be gradually liked and pursued when they grew up.
When one can understand what one hates, maybe that is growth.
"Back then, they were both cultivating by my side, following me to refine pills and tools. They both had extremely high talent, and I taught them wholeheartedly. But later, once, I found a top Dao weapon embryo in a forbidden place."
"If that embryo could be well refined, it was expected to become the strongest Dao weapon in the heavens in my hands."
"Unfortunately, it was lost later."
"The only ones who could enter my alchemy secret room and come into contact with that Dao weapon embryo were them, so I suspected that they had greed and stole it."
The Mi Tian Saint said, his voice getting lower and lower, and his vision also gradually fell from the sky to the medicine garden in front of him, but his vision was not focused, as if still in the memory.
Li Hao had heard the Saint who led the way briefly mention this matter earlier. He was silent for a while.
"As for what happened later, you can probably imagine."
"Under my angry interrogation, they refused to admit it, but I also tried various methods and didn't find that Dao weapon on them."
"At the request of others, I released them. I originally intended to observe secretly to see if they would take out the Dao weapon, but until they became Saints, they didn't reveal it..."
The Mi Tian Saint shook his head slightly, his eyes carrying a bit of vicissitudes:
"To retaliate against me, they abandoned everything I taught them and opened up their own Saint Dao. One is a thief, one is a lie, just like what I said about them back then, saying they stole, saying they lied. I know the words they want to say..."
Li Hao was startled, never expecting that Old Man Feng and the Da Da Huang Tian Saint had such a past.
Stealing, lying, although the Mi Tian Saint didn't elaborate, Li Hao could imagine that when they suffered such grievances back then, they mostly suffered great torture and pain.
"Was that Dao weapon found later?" Li Hao asked.
The Mi Tian Saint shook his head slightly and said: "No news, but I already know that it was not stolen by them, and those who could enter my alchemy secret room back then, besides them, could only be other Supreme Saints, so I am still investigating in secret which one it fell into, but I haven't found evidence for so many years."
Li Hao nodded and looked at the other party. It was also difficult for him to distinguish right from wrong in this matter.
However, he knew that as a third party, he had no right to judge right from wrong. That was equivalent to putting himself in a supreme position to criticize others.
The act of judging others' right and wrong itself is also a kind of wrong.
"If this Immortal pill can be refined this time, helping them touch the threshold of a Supreme Saint, it can be considered a bit of my compensation."
The Mi Tian Saint said in a low voice.
Li Hao nodded, didn't speak, and just drank tea silently.
Half a month passed.
The preparatory work for refining the Immortal pill was ready.
In the small courtyard, Li Hao was playing chess with the Mi Tian Saint. Suddenly, the Sword Master rushed into the small courtyard.
He saw the two playing chess and said hurriedly:
"Haotian, something happened."
"Hmm?"
Li Hao and the Mi Tian Saint looked over at the same time, their brows frowning.
The Sword Master's face looked somewhat unpleasant, saying: "Outside in the heavens, news about you is spreading everywhere now, saying that you monopolize the Immortal Road, use barbaric means to block all Saints from ascending, and now the God Dynasties of various small worlds are condemning you for this."
Li Hao was stunned. Only then did he understand why the incense was less, only the part from the human world was still arriving steadily as usual.
"Is it done by all the Saints?"
Li Hao's face became cold. Never expected that they would involve the common people.
"That's right, but they didn't target you on the surface. If you really want to investigate, I guess they have already thought of countermeasures. There are too many forces spreading the news, and it can't be traced at all."
The Sword Master said hurriedly: "Now there are complaints everywhere, saying you are selfish. Look at your incense, has it been cut off?"
Murderous intent appeared in Li Hao's eyes, saying: "It seems I am too easy to talk to. Ruining my reputation, if I don't kill a few to establish prestige, they don't know the severity!"
"If you do this, it will only make your reputation worse. Now that the rumors have started, they can't be extinguished."
The Sword Master said.
The Mi Tian Saint looked at Li Hao and said: "I have also heard about your affairs. I believe the words you said, but it's useless for me to believe. Now the means they use, simply put, is to cut off your incense. I guess they think you want to plunder the incense of this world, so they have this means to force you to respond."
Li Hao was slightly startled, his mind turned, and he felt that what the other party said was not bad.
"You are angry and make a move now, the other party will only cry injustice. If you kill the other party, it will inevitably be made public. By then, the people of the heavens will feel that you are cruel and unreasonable, and they also have legitimate reasons to unite and resist your cruelty."
Mi said.
Li Hao
The Mi Tian Sage glanced at him and said: "Currently, you have two options. The first is to seek peace talks with them and have them stop; only then can this matter subside. The second is to endure it—endure for a hundred years until this batch of mortals dies, and then establish your incense temples again."
Li Hao knew that seeking reconciliation with the Sages was meaningless; as long as their desires remained, they would not believe anything he said.
"I never expected that after guarding the Ancient Road and winning ten years of peace for the heavens, the result would be this."
Li Hao sneered. At this moment, he truly had the impulse to open the breach of the Xuanpin Gate and let them go inside to see for themselves.
But this impulse was ultimately suppressed by his reason.
Once that was done, there would be no turning back.
When the Ancient Demons invaded, not only would his friends living in the heavens suffer, but the human world would also be invaded and affected by the Ancient Demons.
For the sake of the greater good, he had to endure.
The Sword Master looked at Li Hao with concern. He worried that Li Hao would act impulsively and go to war with the Sages, which would inevitably lead to the fall of many Sages, and Li Hao would also be in danger.
The small courtyard fell into silence. After a long while, Li Hao's expression calmed down, and he said:
"I accept this matter."
The Mi Tian Sage patted his shoulder in comfort and said: "I know you are unwilling, but I believe that one day, you will eventually clear your name."
Li Hao shook his head slightly, not wanting to mention this again, lest it make him angry.
He drank a cup of the Mi Tian Sage's tea, feeling his mood calm down significantly, and said: "When will the immortal pills be refined? Once the immortal pills are refined, I want to go for a walk in the human world."
"Is your current state alright?"
A trace of worry appeared in the Mi Tian Sage's eyes.
Li Hao smiled slightly: "It's fine. So what if more people revile me? I am not doing this for them, but for my friends."
The Mi Tian Sage looked deeply at Li Hao and said: "I originally had a trace of such a guess, but now that you say this, I believe what you said before is indeed true. Back then, when the immortal gods vanished and all disappeared, I had a premonition that the immortal gods seemed to be fleeing, or perhaps they had encountered some trouble. It seems that is indeed the case."
Speaking of this, he thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said:
"That old fellow Yuanzu, he likely has some guesses too, but his obsession with becoming an immortal is too deep. Perhaps no one knows that his ancestors were immortal gods!"
Li Hao was slightly startled. Yuanzu's ancestors were immortal gods?
He couldn't help but think of the words of Nangong Jian and that woman with the red-tasseled spear. Could it be that Yuanzu is a blood descendant of that Tianyang Immortal Emperor?!
"He dreams of following in the footsteps of his ancestors. He became a Sage too early, and after experiencing everything, his lifelong wish is to take that step. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will go mad pursuing it. You must be careful of him," the Mi Tian Sage warned.
Li Hao nodded slightly; he also felt that obsession deeply rooted in Yuanzu's bones.
Shaking his head, Li Hao said: "Let's not think about these things; let's do our own work first."
"Good."
The Mi Tian Sage nodded.
Afterward, the Mi Tian Sage brought Li Hao to the alchemy room, politely declining the Sword Master at the door.
"Has the Holy Pulse already been connected to the alchemy room?"
The Mi Tian Sage asked his disciple. Refining immortal pills involved extremely cumbersome methods, and he still needed his disciple to assist him.
"Everything is prepared."
The other party said; it was the same Sage who had led the way for Li Hao earlier.
The Mi Tian Sage immediately took an immortal herb, first using other spirit herbs to strip and peel the immortal herb into filaments, then handed them to Li Hao.
"Take a look, can you refine the immortal power inside these filaments?"
The Mi Tian Sage's expression was somewhat solemn.
Li Hao's previous proposal to help him refine immortal pills had some degree of certainty. Besides extracting the immortal power within, his current Level Ten Cooking Dao also had an auxiliary effect on refining immortal pills.
Li Hao raised his hand, and Chaos Divine Fire condensed in the void.
When the flame appeared, the Mi Tian Sage and the disciple beside him widened their eyes simultaneously, shocked, and blurted out:
"Chaos Divine Fire?!"
They never expected that Li Hao could manifest Chaos Divine Fire with a wave of his hand. This was the top flame for weapon forging and alchemy, born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; no other flame in the world could surpass it.
At this moment, Li Hao used the Chaos Divine Fire to wrap the immortal herb filaments, treating them like ingredients to be cooked and refined. His hair gradually turned silver as he entered the Ultimate Immortal Transformation state.
Borrowing the guidance of a trace of immortal power from the Immortal Transformation, Li Hao condensed and refined the immortal herb filaments.
Seeing the changes in the immortal herb filaments, the Mi Tian Sage's expression became excited, knowing that Li Hao had truly succeeded.
Afterward, he continuously passed the immortal herb filaments to Li Hao. As the refining continued, drops of immortal dew appeared.
Fearing they would evaporate and merge into the heavens and earth, the Mi Tian Sage quickly collected his thoughts, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and began to refine the pill.
After Li Hao finished refining all the immortal herbs, he sat to the side and exited the Ultimate Immortal Transformation.
The Mi Tian Sage did not avoid Li Hao, displaying his alchemy techniques before him, including the auxiliary materials merged into the immortal pill.
"Hao Tian, could you use your Chaos Divine Fire to increase the fire intensity for me?"
As a large amount of medicine merged into the alchemy furnace, the Mi Tian Sage suddenly said to Li Hao.
Li Hao naturally would not refuse. He condensed the Chaos Divine Fire and sent it to the bottom of the alchemy furnace, then let the Mi Tian Sage control the intensity of the fire.
As the fragrance of the medicinal materials spread, the alchemy furnace vibrated slightly. Outside, waves of Great Dao aura gathered. Before the pill was even formed, it was already shrouded in misty clouds, and bursts of faint thunder seemed to explode in the sky.
Li Hao felt that the energy within the entire alchemy room was extremely dense; it was worthy of being the gathered power of the Holy Land.
With the refining of the Chaos Divine Fire, precious and peerless medicinal materials were sent into the alchemy furnace from time to time.
Time passed, and three days later.
The misty clouds within the entire alchemy room gradually dissipated, and the many strange fragrances that filled the room also disappeared.
Even the dense energy in the alchemy room became thin, while inside the alchemy furnace, there seemed to be clashing sounds from time to time, as if iron pellets were striking the furnace.
The Mi Tian Sage's face was illuminated crimson by the firelight, his forehead covered in sweat, and his snow-white beard and hair were damp. His expression grew increasingly tense. Three consecutive days of refining and the extreme consumption of mental energy meant that every aspect of the heat control had to be precise to the finest detail, without any errors.
Li Hao sat to the side; he only needed to provide a steady stream of Chaos Divine Fire.
In the middle, the Mi Tian Sage asked him once if he could still hold on, and Li Hao indicated he was fine.
Seeing Li Hao's relaxed demeanor, the Mi Tian Sage felt much more at ease, and then stopped distracting himself with Li Hao, focusing entirely on the refining.
Li Hao saw that the phenomena surrounding the alchemy furnace had all disappeared, and instead became somewhat worried. Could it be that it was going to fail?
But seeing the Mi Tian Sage's expression, which was even more tense than before and carried a trace of excitement, Li Hao felt that this might be the omen before the pill was formed.
Accompanied by the burning of the Chaos Divine Fire, suddenly, the entire alchemy furnace vibrated slightly, and a crack actually spread across its surface!
Afterward, Li Hao saw that from the crack, a dazzling, misty light bloomed. The light was like liquid, carrying a color that was dense to the extreme.
Furthermore, a fragrance that made Li Hao's bones feel numb wafted out.
While Li Hao was marveling, the Mi Tian Sage's expression changed drastically. His entire body's power erupted, and the Heavenly Pulse condensed behind him, attracting vast power from heaven and earth.
He sent this power into the alchemy furnace and, at the same time, urged the disciple beside him:
"Quick, the immortal pill is too fierce, the power of the Holy Pulse cannot keep up, guide the power into the alchemy furnace!"
His disciple was startled and hurriedly activated his Heavenly Pulse as well. But after several days of continuous alchemy, his consumption was immense. At this moment, as the Heavenly Pulse was fully activated, the cracks on the alchemy furnace grew more numerous.
Seeing this scene, Li Hao couldn't help but ask: "Is it enough? Do you need more?"
Hearing this, the Mi Tian Sage hurriedly said: "Yes, the more the better! I underestimated this immortal pill; it requires too much power, it has already gained consciousness!"
Hearing this, Li Hao stopped watching and immediately activated his Myriad Heavens Star Pulse.
In an instant, the place where he sat seemed to transform into a vast starry sky.
The light of 1,464 brilliant stars surrounded his body, followed by the reflection of starlight that was brilliant to the extreme.
These starlight rays brought vast power, pouring into Li Hao's body. In a mere instant, the aura around Li Hao's body surpassed that of the Mi Tian Sage's disciple.
As Li Hao released ten strands of immortal power from within his body, converting them into vast power of heaven and earth, the power gathered around him immediately surpassed that of the Mi Tian Sage as well.
Afterward, under the astonished gaze of the Mi Tian Sage, Li Hao pushed all this power into the alchemy furnace.
Although the Mi Tian Sage said the more the better, Li Hao still retained some reserve, using only ten strands of immortal power. If he were to unleash all thousand strands of immortal power within his body, he worried that the immortal pill might not be able to withstand it.
However, he was currently unable to unleash a thousand strands of immortal power. Previously on the Ancient Road, Li Hao had tested his own limits; just the power converted from a hundred strands of immortal power was the limit of what he could currently control. Converting more immortal power would instead cause him to suffer a backlash and be unable to bear it.
After all, he was currently only at the Sage level. This was related to his fleshly body becoming holy, and having consumed the demon body of the Huntian Sage, his physical body had been strengthened on the Ancient Road to be able to do this. If it were other Sages, the power brought by just ten strands of immortal power would likely have already saturated them to their limit.
Boom!
As Li Hao's power surged in, the cracks in the alchemy furnace immediately stopped. At the same time, a roaring sound suddenly appeared within the alchemy furnace, as if something was breaking its shell to be born.
A few breaths later, suddenly, a dull sound of thunder rang out!
The Mi Tian Sage looked up abruptly, his gaze seeming to penetrate layers of arrays to see the dome outside the alchemy room, where clouds were gathering—it was clearly a lightning tribulation!
"This, is this an immortal tribulation?"
The Mi Tian Sage felt the power of the lightning tribulation, his pupils shrinking slightly, somewhat shocked.
But fortunately, he had long been prepared for this.
He quickly activated the array outside the alchemy room. This immortal tribulation was not for him to undergo, but for that immortal pill to undergo.
This was the tribulation belonging to that immortal pill!
With a *swoosh*, the top of the alchemy furnace suddenly exploded and was flipped over. An immortal pill overflowing with silver light shot out from within, scattering endless misty light, and a fragrance ten times denser than before wafted out.
The immortal pill directly smashed through the alchemy room's array, penetrated the roof, and rushed into the high sky.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised; this was his first time seeing an immortal pill undergo tribulation.
Pills could actually have tribulations too.
He saw the immortal pill soar into the high sky, and the lightning tribulation also descended at this moment, striking the immortal pill and shrouding it. Endless thunderous power spread, making the entire Holy Land dim and lusterless.
Li Hao discovered that this lightning tribulation was vast in power, but beyond that, what was truly terrifying was that the tribulation clouds contained a trace of immortal power.
This immortal power was pure, comparable to the sum of a hundred strands of immortal power within his body.
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but wonder if he could withstand this lightning tribulation if he were to endure it right now.
If he didn't have immortal power in his body, he would likely fall under the lightning tribulation, and other Supreme Sages couldn't block it either. But he had immortal power in his body, which would protect his bones; as long as his bones remained, he could regenerate.
At this time, following the roaring of the lightning tribulation.
The array prepared by the Mi Tian Sage was easily destroyed by the lightning tribulation, and the rest were all blocked by that immortal pill.
Amidst the roaring of the lightning, the immortal pill became increasingly brilliant and dazzling, its luster becoming more rounded, and silver radiance bloomed.
A moment later, six lightning tribulations fell, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the immortal pill still stood in mid-air, emitting a fragrance after experiencing the tribulation.
Compared to the dense fragrance from before, this fragrance was relatively light, yet it had a strange scent that reached deep into the soul, making it hard to forget.
"Thank you, benefactor."
Suddenly, a crisp voice appeared in Li Hao's mind.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised and looked around, finally letting his gaze fall on the immortal pill. Was the other party speaking?
Li Hao was somewhat shocked.
At this time, a flash of silver light appeared on the immortal pill, and then it suddenly traced an arc and flew away into the distance.
The Mi Tian Sage was stunned, then suddenly reacted and hurriedly gave chase: "Not good, quickly seal the Holy Land, the immortal pill is trying to escape!"
But his reaction was a step too late; the immortal pill disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, not even leaving behind a scent.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When Li Hao came back to his senses, he saw the stunned Mi Tian Sage, whose expression was somewhat blank.
Li Hao was also somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting that the immortal pill would not only attract an immortal tribulation but also escape.
"Master..."
Beside him, the Mi Tian Sage's disciple swallowed, somewhat bewildered.
The Mi Tian Sage stood dazed for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses. He looked at the alchemy room with its roof penetrated, somewhat sluggish.
The immortal pill that had been refined with such difficulty, the only immortal pill in the entire heavens, had actually escaped.
Even as a Supreme Sage, he was unable to catch up.
Li Hao thought of the words the immortal pill said before it escaped, his eyes flickering. Was the other party thanking him because of the power he had transmitted at the last moment?
However, it was quite a pity that the immortal pill had escaped.
The Mi Tian Sage returned to the alchemy room in low spirits and glanced at the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, his originally lifeless eyes froze, and he immediately threw himself onto the alchemy furnace and reached in.
Soon, he pulled out three pills.
These three pills had a moist and bright luster, with misty light circling them like tiny dragon shadows, emitting an extremely pleasant smell.
Although they were not as fragrant as the immortal pill, which was engraved into the bones, they were clearly extraordinary.
"They are actually companion pills, three of them. It seems that because too much power was sent in earlier, they were separated out by the immortal pill."
The Mi Tian Sage muttered to himself, his eyes bright. He turned to look at Li Hao, his face already showing excitement and a bit of gratitude, saying:
"Lord Hao Tian, thanks to you earlier, this immortal pill was successfully refined. I didn't hold much hope for this first batch, but I didn't expect the result to exceed my imagination."
Li Hao smiled slightly: "It is also because your own alchemy skills are superb, Senior."
"These companion immortal pills, although not as good as the immortal pill, are enough to be called top-tier divine pills in the world. I can feel that they also contain a trace of immortal power, enough to allow Master Bai Shen and the others to touch the threshold of the Supreme Sage realm. Whether they can grasp it depends on themselves."
The Mi Tian Sage put away two and handed the remaining one to Li Hao: "Keep this one. I owe you a favor this time."
Li Hao took a look and pushed it back to him, saying: "I have no use for this pill. I am only at the First Tribulation. Once I finish the Three Tribulations, I can become a Supreme Sage without this pill."
The other party was using the immortal power within the pill to let Master Bai Shen and the others touch the Heavenly Dao, while he could touch the Heavenly Dao through Immortal Transformation; taking the pill would be a bit of a waste.
Moreover, it was unknown whether it would have any effect if he took it, given the special condition of his panel attributes.
However, if he really wanted to take the pill, he could improve it and make it into a dish; that way, not only would the pill poison be removed, but he could also taste a delicacy.
"This..."
The Mi Tian Sage did not expect Li Hao to refuse such a pill. This was an opportunity to become a Supreme Sage, which any Sage would drool over upon seeing.
However, the confidence Li Hao displayed made him look at him with even more admiration, and emotion appeared in his eyes as he said:
"The Sages of the heavens have all been cultivating for ten thousand years, some for tens of thousands of years, and are already old and frail. There are not many left who are as confident as you."
Sages are all those with exceptional talent and were once high-spirited in their youth, but as the days of cultivation grew longer, this spirit gradually disappeared, leaving only stability and calculation.
"Since that is the case, I will accept it this time. It just so happens that I have an unpromising disciple who also needs to use it. When we refine it next time, if there are any more companion pills, I will give them to you."
The Mi Tian Sage smiled and said: "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Even if you don't use it yourself, you can give it to others; this is a top-tier trading item."
Hearing this, Li Hao thought of the Sword Master and couldn't help but nod slightly, asking: "When will the next refining be?"
"The other auxiliary materials are almost used up, and they are all rare medicinal herbs. I need to prepare again; it might take a few years."
The Mi Tian Sage said.
"Fine."
Li Hao said: "If you need me when the time comes, just find me at any time."
The Mi Tian Sage smiled and then sent Li Hao out of the alchemy room.
"When they wake up, I will hand these two pills to them."
The Mi Tian Sage brought Li Hao back to the small courtyard and poured tea for Li Hao.
After Li Hao finished the tea, he brought up the matter of taking his leave. He had rested and stayed here long enough, and he wanted to go elsewhere to take a look.
Seeing this, the Mi Tian Sage did not try to persuade him to stay; he knew that Li Hao had many things to deal with.
"Whenever you have time, remember to come find me for a game of chess."
The Mi Tian Sage said.
Li Hao nodded. His Chess Dao was at Level Eight and improving slowly; his chess skills needed someone to play against to gain experience. But playing against the Mi Tian Sage these days had already filled his Level Eight experience.
Next, he only needed to comprehend the state of mind to step into Level Nine.
Li Hao bid farewell to the Mi Tian Sage and then left with the Sword Master.
"I have spoken to the Master Master Jian Sheng and the Wen Sage about this matter. Currently, no one in the Canglan Realm mentions your affairs, but travelers from other small worlds have come over, which has still caused some impact."
The Sword Master said to Li Hao, his eyes filled with worry.
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said: "Blocking my incense, I will make them pay it back tenfold later."
Hearing Li Hao say this, the Sword Master did not say anything more.
Li Hao accompanied the Sword Master back to the Canglan Realm. Returning to this first small world he had arrived at when he first came to the Land of Sages, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.
He sensed the divine blood imprint he had left behind in the Canglan Divine Dynasty. Scanning with his spiritual sense, he discovered that there were no longer any statues of his temple within the Canglan Divine Dynasty. Clearly, even if the public hadn't received the news, that monarch of the Divine Dynasty had long since detected the rumors from the outside.
Li Hao couldn't help but sneer; when a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push.
Fortunately, even if everyone pushed, they couldn't crush him.
He immediately retracted that divine blood imprint and then arrived at the Sword Ancestor Holy Land.
With his spiritual sense covering the area, Li Hao saw Lin Shanhai and the other alchemists; they were still living as usual, eating, drinking, sunning themselves, and screening medicinal herbs.
Li Hao did not see Lin Qingying's figure and couldn't help but ask the Sword Master, who shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Li Hao immediately went to find the Master Master Jian Sheng.
"She went traveling outside, saying she wanted to walk around." The Master Master Jian Sheng looked at Li Hao, his expression complex.
He was also present at the meeting where Yuanzu, the God King, and others discussed matters. Afterward, Yuanzu and the God King forced the Sages to swear by their Holy Dao not to inform Li Hao of the news.
Therefore, he knew about all the things that had happened outside.
Hearing the Master Master Jian Sheng's words, Li Hao thought of that woman's cold and elegant face, lost in thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, going to find Lin Shanhai and the other old men to stroll around.
Seeing Li Hao arrive, Lin Shanhai and the others were exceptionally surprised. Li Hao was already a famous person in the heavens; after becoming a Sage, they had no chance to see Li Hao. Although they were all high-level alchemists, their status was slightly lower than that of a Half-Sage, and they couldn't compare to a Sage at all.
Now, seeing that Li Hao still treated them like old friends, they were secretly excited.
Li Hao chatted with Lin Shanhai and the others, stayed for a few days, and then contacted the Qing Ancestor, Ye Ancestor, and others from the Flower Tour Society, agreeing to meet in the Yunxia Realm.
In the current Yunxia Realm, there was no longer the Void Holy Land, only the Yuanshi Holy Land and the Military Holy Land.
Ji Xuanshen, Ming Ming Yue Jian, and others were also here. More than ten years had passed, and their cultivation had advanced further. Ji Xuanshen had already reached the Half-Sage realm, comparable to that Third Ancestor of the Ji family who had been sleeping for years, becoming the veritable number one person of the current Ji family.
Ming Ming Yue Jian had also condensed the prototype of the Holy Dao and stepped into the Half-Sage realm, with his strength progressing extremely quickly.
The others were still wandering in the Wen Dao realm, but their strength had all improved.
Seeing Li Hao visit, the Yuanshi Sage of the Yuanshi Holy Land knew that Li Hao had come to visit his disciples like Ji Xuanshen, but when he saw Li Hao, his expression was somewhat complex.
He was also present at the meeting where Yuanzu and the others conspired. He was equally dissatisfied with Li Hao's refusal to open the Immortal Gate, but he just hadn't expressed it too obviously.
Now that Li Hao had come alone, he didn't intend to bring up this matter. If he made Li Hao unhappy, the Yuanshi Holy Land couldn't stop this fierce god.
"I heard that Lord Hao Tian has come to our Holy Land."
"What is he doing here? Isn't he monopolizing the Immortal Road, wanting to become an immortal alone?"
"Such a selfish villain, I heard he is friends with Ji Xuanshen and the others."
"I didn't expect that such generous people as Ji Xuanshen and the others would have such a friend. Although his talent is very high, he is too selfish."
"This world is like this; selfish people can always walk faster."
In the Holy Land, many disciples learned the news and discussed it in low voices.
How powerful was Li Hao's Primordial Spirit? Now his spiritual sense could even barely cover a small world.
It wasn't just the disciples in the Holy Land discussing it; in the various Divine Dynasties of this Yunxia Realm, there was also news about him, but it was all negative.
"Hao Tian."
Seeing Li Hao, Ji Xuanshen, Ming Ming Yue Jian, and the others were as enthusiastic and happy as ever.
Seeing them, the coldness in Li Hao's eyes dissipated, and he revealed a smile.
Afterward, Li Hao took them to choose the best restaurant in the Yunxia Realm and booked the venue.
"Hao Tian, don't take those messages from the outside to heart. We believe you are not that kind of person."
At the dining table, before they even picked up their chopsticks, Ji Xuanshen said to Li Hao seriously.
When he first heard this news, including his Master, everyone was extremely indignant at Li Hao's behavior, but he only felt shocked.
Afterward, he had even argued with his Master about this matter; he knew that Li Hao was definitely not that kind of person.
How proud that young man was.
When he first came to the Ji family alone, facing all the questioning, he didn't have a single word of defense.
He only used his mortal bones and iron fists to shatter all the questioning. Facing the retention of the entire Ji family, he remained unmoved. How could he be the selfish person they spoke of?
Ji Xuanshen absolutely did not believe it, nor did he think he would have misjudged him.
"That's right, this news is circulating in the heavens. I don't know which Sage holds a grudge against you; the methods are too despicable."
Other geniuses of the Ji family also said immediately.
They were all people who had been defeated by Li Hao back then. They had seen with their own eyes how this young man stepped by step, facing countless questions, walked to the Ji family's mountain peak Dao arena, and with that peerless monstrous posture, silently told everyone that those questions were all misunderstandings of him.
"We all believe you."
Ming Ming Yue Jian now looked to be in his twenties, exceptionally handsome, looking gentle and elegant, and said to Li Hao firmly and seriously.
Li Hao smiled; it was because of these friends that everything he did was worth it.
"We have already used all aspects of the Flower Tour Society's channels to help you find the source."
Beside him, Qing Ancestor, Zhan Tan, and others also looked at Li Hao. Zhan Tan was the Vice President of the Flower Tour Society; he knew Li Hao extremely well. If the other party were selfish in his cultivation, why would he be so passionate about painting?
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said: "No need to search; I know who they are."
They mistakenly thought it was a certain Sage, not knowing it was the work of all the Sages of the heavens.
Li Hao didn't point it out either; this matter would be settled sooner or later.
"You know?"
Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone was surprised, not expecting Li Hao to know.
Zhan Tan was meticulous. Seeing Li Hao actually accepting it calmly without going to retaliate, his expression couldn't help but change, and he said: "Could it be... a certain Supreme Sage?"
Li Hao smiled, noncommittal.
Seeing Li Hao's expression, everyone's expressions changed. The status of Supreme Sages in the heavens was deeply rooted and far-reaching; no wonder Li Hao knew but didn't take action.
"Everyone, don't worry about these things; sooner or later, they will pass like a gust of wind. Tonight, let's just talk about happy things and don't let this table of food go to waste."
Li Hao laughed.
Seeing Li Hao like this, everyone's eyes were complex, and they all felt the pressure Li Hao was under.
They asked themselves, if they were targeted like this by a Supreme Sage, they would likely be terrified and have nightmares, unable to sleep.
At the same time, while Li Hao was reminiscing with his old friends from the human world and the members of the Flower Tour Society.
On the other side, in the Tianyuan Holy Land.
Yuanzu, who was sitting in the cave dwelling with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. In his calm eyes, which were usually without ripples, a strange surprise appeared at this moment.
"Actually, really touched it?"
"Is this the Sixth Extreme Realm? Merging with heaven and earth!"
Not long after he probed, suddenly, Sage orders vibrated. Many Sages sent messages, conveying the progress of the second Holy Infant of the human world to Yuanzu.
This second Holy Infant had comprehended the Sixth Extreme Realm!
That night, many Sages from the Holy Lands were extremely excited and rushed to the Tianyuan Holy Land overnight.
