Chapter 1305: Chapter 1304: Middle Mahayana Realm
Su Xuanji looked at Qin Hao’s vehicle and said, "Mr. Qin, I don’t have a vehicle. Could I possibly ride with you?"
"Of course, the space inside the vehicle is quite large. Miss Su, please." Qin Hao replied with a smile.
Deep down, Ning Ziyuan still had her own pride and character. She summoned her vehicle, pulled by two peacocks.
Ding Jinyang also summoned his vehicle, pulled by two golden lions—people from their race, but considered weak, as they were servants of their royal clan.
Cang Tai spoke up, "Mr. Qin, I don’t have a vehicle either. Could I ride with you? I won’t go inside; I’ll just drive for you from outside."
"Drive? How does that work? Cang Tai, you should come inside as well." Qin Hao said with a calm expression.
Cang Tian shook his head vigorously. Should I go inside to be the third wheel? Ultimately, he decided not to enter and instead sat outside the vehicle, steering four Unihorn Pegasus Beasts.
The three vehicles sped through the skies above the Desolate Plain, along the way no demon beasts dared to approach. The mere aura emitted by the beasts pulling these vehicles was enough to deter the demon beasts on the plain.
Qin Hao and his group did not traverse directly across the Desolate Plain, but instead traveled diagonally, as they needed to head to the Ancient God City, which was nearer in this direction.
Inside the vehicle, Qin Hao’s Divine Sense entered the system space to take a look. The Azure Luan Relic Beast, Firebird, and Black Jiao Dragon were all cultivating.
Qin Hao’s Divine Sense exited the system space, just in time to see Su Xuanji looking at him. "What is Miss Su looking at?"
Su Xuanji’s pretty face blushed slightly, resembling a bashful young woman. "Mr. Qin, I’m not intentionally staring at you. I just accidentally got captivated by your aura. Mr. Qin, even though you aren’t very handsome, you have an alluring aura."
Qin Hao bore an expression of speechlessness. This little enchantress who causes havoc in the world, truly acts the part, and absolutely should not be trusted; she’s full of nonsense.
"Miss Su, if you have a moment now, you can take the essence blood, absorb and refine it." Qin Hao said to her, as he himself also planned to cultivate.
Su Xuanji shook her head. "Although taking this drop of essence blood would greatly aid me, my Clan Leader and others need it more than I do."
Indeed, if this drop of essence blood were given to the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan’s experts, it would allow them to break through bottlenecks to reach higher realms, and even prolong their lives.
Should Su Xuanji take it, the increase in her power wouldn’t be significant to the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan, and it would take many years for her to grow.
In an instant, Qin Hao understood her intention. "I didn’t expect Miss Su to be quite filial. How many members are there in your Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan?"
"Just over a hundred, why do you ask?" Su Xuanji responded curiously.
Qin Hao’s expression slightly twitched. "So few?"
"Few? Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, there are many races. Our Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan’s numbers aren’t considered small. Like Sister Zi Yan’s Peacock Clan has less than a hundred, but their overall strength is very high."
Qin Hao was beginning to understand. There were many races within the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, but each race had few members, although their strength was formidable.
Su Xuanji continued, "In ancient times, each race had many members and formidable strength. It’s just that after thousands of years of the test of time, too many tribe members died, and then it became the way it is now."
"Time is a ruthless sword." Qin Hao sighed, thinking about his own matters, and reflecting deeply.
Su Xuanji looked at him, her gaze wistful. "Indeed, no one can withstand the wheels of time. Even the ancient deities will eventually pass away. The world isn’t like it was before; this is so unfair to us."
"Is there such a thing as fairness in the world? Everything is dictated by power."
Su Xuanji nodded slightly. "What Mr. Qin says is true. It’s said that in this present world, becoming immortal is impossible. I simply have to prove it wrong and become immortal against all odds. Nothing can stop the steps of us cultivators."
Qin Hao smiled faintly. "Indeed, cultivation is going against the heavens. Since the world has changed, then we must become stronger. I refuse to believe that I cannot transcend and become immortal."
"With such a soul mate like Mr. Qin accompanying me, the path of cultivation is bound to be interesting." Su Xuanji laughed gracefully, like a hundred flowers blooming—breathtaking, captivating the nation, overshadowing sun and moon.
Qin Hao was startled momentarily but quickly collected himself. "Miss Su becomes more enchanting by the day; you are truly a matchless beauty now."
"Thanks to Mr. Qin’s Heavenly Charm Spirit Fruit, my Bewitching Technique has reached a new height."
Qin Hao: "Miss Su should be more cautious in the future, and not release it wantonly, otherwise it will cause one’s soul to be thrown into turmoil."
"Will Mr. Qin be bewitched by me?" Su Xuanji asked with a mischievous smile.
Qin Hao: "I am no saint; of course, I cannot escape Miss Su’s Bewitching Technique. But by doing so, the one to suffer would only be Miss Su, not me."
Su Xuanji gave a slight smile and said no more.
Truth be told, Qin Hao had some thoughts about such a matchless beauty like Su Xuanji. Even if anyone else saw Su Xuanji, they would be moved and want to possess her.
But Qin Hao needed to understand her well; otherwise, in the event of such an occurrence, it could become a source of trouble, potentially leading to being used by her, making the situation hard to manage.
Qin Hao took out a large number of Spirit Stones to begin cultivating. He was currently in the Early Mahayana Realm, intending to break through to the Middle or Late Mahayana Realm before the martial contest among elites.
Both Ning Ziyuan and Su Xuanji were already experts in the Middle Mahayana Realm. The Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain was indeed incredibly powerful.
Su Xuanji also began cultivating; the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Charm Spirit Fruit had not yet been fully absorbed.
A few days later, Qin Hao took out a large amount of millennial Lingzhi and millennial ginseng. The price for these medicinal materials was a hundred thousand credits, which wasn’t expensive, yet they contained a lot of pure Spiritual Energy.
Seeing this, Su Xuanji was taken aback. Ten millennial Lingzhi, ten millennial ginseng—wow, are you running a medicinal herb shop?
Even herbal medicine shops aren’t this extravagant!
Qin Hao consumed all these herbs; the amount was already substantial, taking more would yield little additional effect.
In less than a month’s time, Qin Hao had completely absorbed the medicinal effects, and thereafter took out some elixirs that increased Spiritual Energy, each of which was top-notch.
During this brief period, Su Xuanji witnessed what could truly be called lavish and grand—there might not be another person in the world who could compare to Qin Hao.
A month and a half later, Qin Hao finally broke through to the Middle Mahayana Realm. A mighty aura spread out from within the vehicle, but it was blocked by the vehicle’s Prohibition Array, so those outside were unaware—even Cang Tai driving the vehicle didn’t notice.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Middle Mahayana Realm." Su Xuanji opened her eyes and smiled.
Qin Hao also smiled; he could feel that his combat power had surged tremendously.
