Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

Duan Yao was using a secret technique to fly very fast. From her tone, one could tell that she was trembling a bit, but that tremble was due to anger.

She did not get the beauty pill this time, and she thought that it was because the Herb King Master was probably not in the valley. Therefore, she could come again another time!

However, Duan Yao had never heard of the City Sect that Zhao Yanzi mentioned. She could look everywhere on Fifth Heaven and might still not able to find it!

Duan Yao had a deep hatred toward Zhao Yanzi since the latter had taken her valuable sword, her cultivation technique, her jade pendant, her spiritual herbs, and her beauty pill! The more Duan Yao thought about it, the angrier she got. She thought that the Herb King Master might even gift Zhao Yanzi the beauty pill that should belong to her. This thought made her so mad that smoke was almost coming out of her head.

In her mind, Zhao Yanzi could use Return Dragon Grasses which she had stolen from her sects and trade it in for a beauty pill!

Duan Yao flew with all her might, and she touched the wet liquid on her face, suddenly couldn’t help but cry.

“That evil and malicious woman had actually spread poison over me!” she thought. She was scared that her face was damaged and couldn’t turn back to normal even if she could eat a beauty pill.

After thinking about this, she got even more angry and anxious. She almost used up all her nature essence. Even though she remembered her father warning her about how harmful the Blood Escape Technique was to the body, but she didn’t have any choice but to use it. She flew rapidly toward Sixth Heaven, and anxious tears flew out of her eyes!

“If my face is destroyed, I will cut you into a million pieces!” Duan Yao endured the dizziness she felt and put almost half of all her essence blood into the flying sword that was under her feet.

Zhao Yanzi did not know how scared she made Duan Yao feel with just a bag of sweet soymilk. When she saw Duan Yao running away, she laughed and picked up the dagger that Duan Yao left behind.

After melting the outer layer of ice, she put it in her own storage space.

She once again took out the things she got from her victory, which was the storage bag she got from Duan Yao. She discovered that there were only six mid-tier spirit stones in addition to the 16 Return Dragon Grasses and a map of the Fifth Heaven. She was a bit disappointed at how ‘poor’ Duan Yao was.

In reality, six mid-tier spirit stones were equivalent to about half of the total wealth of the smaller sects on Fifth Heaven.

One mid-tier spirit stone could be traded for 100 low-tier spirit stones. However, anyone hardly would make such a trade because spirit stones were not only the currency amongst human cultivators but could also increase the speed of cultivation. A mid-tier spirit stone was full of nature essence that was far superior to that of 100 low-tier spirit stones combined.

Dragon cultivators had dragon cores. Even if they held spirit stones, they would not be able to improve their cultivation efficiency since they cultivated fast in the first place. That was why spirit stones were only used for constructing array formations for dragon cultivators. However, it was different for human cultivators since they could absorb the nature essence within the spirit stones and increase their cultivation speed by a lot.

These six spirit stones that Duan Yao took with her on this trip were all her personal savings that she had accumulated for more than ten years. She was planning to use these spirit stones to trade for a beauty pill if Herb King Master wasn’t willing to accept the deal of 16 level 5 spiritual herbs.

On this trip, she didn’t get to meet the Herb King Master but bumped into her mortal enemy, Zhao Yanzi. The latter took the spiritual herbs and spirit stones away from her…

It was easy to imagine the amount of frustration and anger Duan Yao felt.

“A map…” Hao Ren held the map up and studied it carefully.

He was also not interested in the six mid-tier spirit stones, but this map of Fifth Heaven moved him. Zhao Yanzi had once robbed some maps from those evil cultivators, but those maps were either too small or too vague.

However, this map of Fifth Heaven from Duan Yao was drawn on a large sheet of parchment. After being unfolded, one could see all the mountains, sect distribution, nature essence intensity… all depicted in great detail.

Even Hao Ren’s Herb King Valley was on the map. However, the three small sects were not on the map. Small sects like them could easily be destroyed within months, so there was no purpose even to mark it on the map.

“They are indeed a strong large sect on Sixth Heaven since they had detailed information about Fifth Heaven,” Hao Ren secretly thought to himself and put the map away.

As soon as he and Zhao Yanzi returned to the valley, Xie Yujia, Lu Linlin, and Lu Lili went over to them.

Zhao Yanzi got Duan Yao’s dagger and was very excited. The Purple Green Treasure Sword was a bit too long and big for her to carry, so she couldn’t take it to First Heaven before she turned it into her natal dharma treasure and could store it in her body. This dagger, however, was just the right size to store inside her necklace.

With this dagger, she could fly around on it like Hao Ren on his sword energies.

“This dagger also looks strong! I need to do research and experiment with it…” Zhao Yanzi thought and threw the storage bag over to Hao Ren before running into her own cave.

She had gotten good things from Duan Yao multiple times; she suddenly felt like Duan Yao was a moving treasure vault!

At this thought, she realized that she had forgotten to take Duan Yao’s other jade pendant from her. Duan Yao had intentionally covered her jade pendant with her clothes when she took off the storage bag from her waist, and Zhao Yanzi was too careless, so she didn’t think about this at all!

“Ah. I forgot! I’ll definitely take it from her next time!” Zhao Yanzi realized that she didn’t take everything that Duan Yao had and felt like she wasn’t ‘professional’ enough.

She shook her head with regret.

At that time, Duan Yao who had reached Sixth Heaven felt an inexplicable burn on the back of her ears. Her blood boiled up, and she spat out half a mouth full of blood; she was very angry!

At Ethereal Summit, Xie Yujia was pleasantly surprised when she received the 16 Return Dragon Grasses. Return Dragon Grasses were level 5 spiritual herbs. They were only inferior to the top-tier level 6 spiritual herb, so they were extremely valuable and useful ingredients for elixir making.

The value of the 16 Return Dragon Grasses was worth three beauty pills! If Duan Yao knew about this, she would probably spit another mouthful of blood.

“Hehe, Hao Ren, this is good stuff! Even in Fifth Heaven, you can’t get these kinds of level 5 spiritual herbs!” Xie Yujia picked up the Return Dragon Grass lightly and looked at them. They still looked very fresh and seemed like they had just been plucked out of the ground recently with their roots intact.

In order to preserve their spiritual properties, Xie Yujia quickly planted them in the spiritual field, hoping that they could continue to grow.

Hao Ren knew that these spiritual herbs were valuable, so he helped Xie Yujia to plant them. When Lu Linlin and Lu Lili saw Hao Ren helping, they also came to assist.

Soon, they planted the 16 Return Dragon Grasses in the spiritual field. Then, Xie Yujia ran to her cave to get a little white paper package. She came out and opened the package of golden powder and spread it onto the field.

The leaves of the Return Dragon Grasses that had almost completely withered suddenly restored their vitality at a speed that was visible to the human eye. The leaves that were leaning down started to stretch back out slowly.

“What is that?” Hao Ren looked at the little paper package in Xie Yujia’s hand with shock.

“Little Whites poop!” Xie Yujia pointed at Little White.

“How… how is it powder…” Hao Ren was extremely confused.

“Little White’s poop is very rich, so it’s hard to control the quantity used. That’s why I put its poop out in the valley under the sun to let it dry and harden. Then, I milled it into powder, so I could precisely control the amount I use because different types of spiritual herbs require different doses of energy…” Xie Yujia explained seriously.

Hao Ren looked at her in shock; he didn’t know that she had already completed everything in such detail.

Little White probably sensed that they were talking about its poop, so it shamelessly came over, waving its butt nonstop, desiring praises.

Hao Ren looked at the small amount of golden powder left in Xie Yujia’s paper package, and the powder let out a dazzling light. Who could have thought that the powder came from Little White’s butt…

However, in terms of actual value, Little White’s poop was probably more expensive and valuable than gold…

Hao Ren put the storage bag and the map of Fifth Heaven into the Treasure Light Pavilion, rested for a bit, and brought Xie Yujia and the girls back to East Ocean University when it got late.

Zhao Yanzi was incredibly happy about getting the dagger. Although she had not completely made this dharma treasure into her own yet, she had already wiped out the spiritual senses Duan Yao left on it. After resting for a bit, Zhao Yanzi could spread her own spiritual senses onto the dagger. With some more practice, she would be able to control it like a small flying sword.

Dragon cultivators focused on individual cultivation. Overall, unlike human cultivators, dragon cultivators wouldn’t overly rely on things like elixir pills and dharma treasures. That was also the reason why there weren’t many elixir masters and dharma treasure masters. They would try to make their own treasures individually. As long as the materials were of adequate quality and matched their elemental attribute, the final product would be sufficient for their use. A good example was Su Han’s White Jade Sword.

That was also a reason why Zhao Yanzi was. There weren’t treasures like this dagger in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

“I’m going to school. If there’s nothing important, don’t come and find me!” Zhao Yanzi said to Hao Ren as she rode her bicycle happily toward the main gates of East Ocean University.

Hao Ren looked at her helplessly, thinking that she had looked for him when she didn’t have anything important for him to do. It was obviously an unfair treaty between them.

“The Class Meeting is about to begin. Let’s head over!” Xie Yujia touched Hao Ren and said as she watched Zhao Yanzi disappear in the sunset.

“OK. Let’s go!” Hao Ren nodded.

Course selection had been completed today, so tomorrow would be the official start of a new semester. The campus military training for first-year students was also over, so they would be starting their first day of university tomorrow as well.

“OK! Let’s go! Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili sat in their tandem bicycle with one person in the front and the other in the back as they looked at Hao Ren.

“What are you two doing…?” Hao Ren looked at them.

“Class Meeting!” The Lu sisters looked at Hao Ren as if nothing was wrong.

“Aren’t you two… in the second year?” Hao Ren asked.

The so-called class meeting wasn’t just merely held in one’s class. It was more like a meeting of the students who were in the same year and the same program. There would also be an award ceremony for scholarships and awards.

“This year, second-year and third-year students are together! The fourth-year students’ meeting is focused on their thesis and employment trends, while first-year students have a welcoming ceremony. They have separate events,” Xie Yujia explained.

Hao Ren looked at them and then looked at himself, suddenly feeling like he was going to be in an unfortunate position…

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were Lu Qing’s ‘granddaughters,’ and it was impossible that the Program Director did not know about this. He was probably going to introduce them to everyone where 80% of the students were males.

Someone was going to be hated by everyone…
