Chapter 1245: Chapter 1235: Cultivation Success, Part 2
"Oh? That magical?" The Medicine King was very surprised and quickly walked over.
Xue’Er, who was behind him, also followed worriedly, but the next moment, her face turned red like a flash. The Medicine King, focused on Hao Shuai’s expression, didn’t notice the situation in the bathtub.
But Xue’Er glanced directly into the bathtub, seeing this: the originally dark-looking potion had become crystal clear, and with Hao Shuai completely bare, an unusual scene could be seen in the water.
"Ah!"
After looking for a while, Xue’Er quickly turned away, clearly having seen something she shouldn’t have.
The Medicine King noticed Xue’Er’s reaction and looked down along Hao Shuai’s body, also becoming speechless, "Cough... Shuai, the water has become clear."
"Oh, huh?"
Hao Shuai didn’t react at first, but upon hearing the Medicine King’s words, he remembered he was naked, no wonder Xue’Er turned away shyly.
At this moment, Xu Ashuai hurriedly covered himself with his hands and said to the Medicine King, "Master, what should I do now?"
"You can come out now, put on your clothes."
The Medicine King replied, surprised yet satisfied.
"What? Master, wasn’t I supposed to stay for forty-nine hours?" Hao Shuai was a bit stunned, it had only been two hours, yet his master was already telling him to come out, could it be that he’s given up on me?
"Haha, congratulations my disciple, I really didn’t pick the wrong person. Your natural constitution is suited to mastering the Poison King’s Scripture, so you’ve completed it early."
The Medicine King smiled slightly, never expecting to find such an excellent successor by accident, truly unpredictable.
"What, I... I succeeded?"
Hao Shuai was clearly in disbelief.
"Yes, hurry out and dress. Do you want to stay longer, huh?" The Medicine King said happily.
Just as he finished speaking, Hao Shuai jumped out quickly, ran to his clothes, dressed swiftly, then returned and kneeled before the Medicine King: "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I promise not to disappoint you, and, of course, Xue’Er too."
At this, Xue’Er froze suddenly, her face blushing even more. Since Hao Shuai was now dressed, she didn’t need to turn around and walked over directly to help him up, shyly saying, "Shuai, what nonsense are you saying, what do you mean by not disappointing Xue’Er? I haven’t planned to marry you yet."
"Hehe, Xue’Er, marry me!"
Seizing the moment of joy, Hao Shuai made his move, and sure enough, the Medicine King laughed heartily upon hearing this, then waved his sleeve and left, leaving a parting sentence: "In the future, treat Xue’Er well, or I’ll hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
Hao Shuai smiled wryly, understanding the Medicine King’s implication. Although he had mastered the Poison King’s Scripture, his current power was no match for the Medicine King.
After the Medicine King left, Hao Shuai unabashedly picked up Xue’Er and, a bit anxiously, kissed her cheek...
After the two shared a moment of intimacy, they started walking back. Hao Shuai felt incredibly relieved, but he soon became a bit troubled.
Since he’d learned the cultivation technique, he couldn’t stay here any longer, but what about Xue’Er?
He couldn’t take Xue’Er with him everywhere.
He wasn’t like Chen Tianlong, who could act openly. His task was to reclaim what he’d originally lost, and these actions were disgraceful and not something Xue’Er should witness.
Moreover, he needed to make a trip to South Sea City to deal with Chen Tianlong and restore the Hao Family.
However, seeing Xue’Er’s slightly flushed face, Hao Shuai found himself unable to speak. He took a deep breath but still couldn’t muster the courage to talk about leaving, fearing she would cry.
Though Hao Shuai was cold and ruthless, Xue’Er’s tears were something he couldn’t resist.
Finally, he decided, to stay for a few more days, giving her all the best memories, uncertain when they might meet again after this parting.
So, Hao Shuai left a letter for Xue’Er and quietly left.
Outside the Celestial Pill Sect.
Chen Tianlong, with Lin Wushuang, was preparing to head back to the hotel to find Liu Ting and Lu Xiaoyu, planning to leave the Five Elements Mountain Range and return to South Sea City.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, a group appeared, blocking their path, with an estimated two to three hundred people.
Standing before them wasn’t anyone else but the Celestial Pill Sect’s Sect Leader, the Pure Yang Daoist. Yet, the Pure Yang Daoist looked different now, a hint of sternness in his eyes, causing Chen Tianlong to instantly sense something was off.
Immediately, people appearing from behind the Pure Yang Daoist made Chen Tianlong understand at once.
"Chen Tianlong, long time no see!"
Suddenly, Xue Kong stepped out with a sinister smile on his face.
"Xue Kong, so it was you. I was wondering why you guys never acted during the Celestial Pill Sect trials—turns out you were keeping a backup plan." Chen Tianlong said plainly, while at the same time leaning towards Lin Wushuang’s ear, whispering softly, "Wushuang, when you get the chance, escape. I’ll follow behind."
Lin Wushuang hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
"Haha, don’t waste your efforts. Just the two of you trying to slip away from my Pure Yang Daoist’s grasp? Dream on." The Pure Yang Daoist said, taking a swift step forward.
Chen Tianlong hurriedly pushed Lin Wushuang aside, quickly executed the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, and launched the Wildfire Fist First Move. Although Chen Tianlong was capable of performing the second move, time didn’t allow, and he could only try the first move.
"Boom!"
A loud crash followed as the two stepped back, yet Chen Tianlong found that his Wildfire Fist First Move had no effect on the Pure Yang Daoist.
"Haha, do you really think you can defeat me with your Celestial Dao Seven Stars strength? Dream on. My Pure Yang Daoist’s Vajra Shield, if you could break it, I’d have been dealt with long ago and wouldn’t be the Sect Leader of the Celestial Pill Sect—what a joke."
The Pure Yang Daoist spoke unrestrainedly.
In his view, the Vajra Shield needed at least Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection strength to weaken it—a chance weakening, not breaking. To break it might require Extreme Dao One Star strength.
"Wait, Sect Leader Pure Yang. Back at the Celestial Pill Sect, weren’t we all getting along? Drinking together, discussing the martial world—why this sudden change?"
Chen Tianlong was indeed puzzled. Although he had suspected why the Pure Yang Daoist had become so amiable—not at all the cold and ruthless person as rumored—and why Xue Kong never appeared.
But thinking back, the Pure Yang Daoist was indeed good to them at the time. Such a drastic change was hard for Chen Tianlong to accept in such a short span.
"Haha, Chen Tianlong, did you really think I was that kind-hearted? I valued you, yet never expected even Master Yun Zhonghe would take you under his wing. Knowing it was impossible to recruit you, there was no need to let you off the hook."
