Chapter 554: Appointment at the Nine Dragons Palace!
ent. By her appearance, she seemed to have attended such conferences before while in the Heavenly Realm as well.What they said actually made Hao Ren curious about what the trading conference would be...Chapter 554: An Appointment at the Nine Dragons Palace!
The sudden voice of Consort Zhen made Hao Ren and Su Han immediately stop their conversation. Consort Zhen was unfathomably deep; breaking an Inspector's token was something she could do in a thought.
After crossing the road, he returned to Donghai University. When he arrived back at Shanjing Canteen, most of the students had left due to the heavy rain stopping.
The tables from other clubs were set up again, but classes had already started in the afternoon and the lunchtime rush was over; it was difficult now to attract more students.
*Huang color novel class12/ Su Han was by the table of the Calligraphy Club. She walked a few steps forward when she saw Hao Ren return, unable to resist asking, "How is it"
"It shouldn't be too serious; it's Zhen Ciming’s mother," Hao Ren said.
“Eternal Demon King…” Su Han murmured the four words.
Hao Ren asked her, “What does ‘eternal demon king’ mean”
Su Han shook her head and didn’t answer.
Lul琳琳 and Luli莉插嘴說道， "Eternal Demon King is a title. In the Sea of Demons, anyone who survives the Transformation Lightning Tribulation can be called a Lesser Demon King. By transforming into human form and retraining to reach their peak again, they become Greater Demon Kings. After enduring another heavenly tribulation, they become Eternal Demon Kings, reaching the Immortal level, achieving immortality and standing alongside heaven and earth."
Hao Ren remembered that for demon beasts to achieve great perfection, they had to go through two lightning tribulations—one was the Transformation Lightning Tribulation, and one was the Peak Heavenly Tribulation. Could it be that Zhen Ciming’s mother had even endured the second heavenly tribulation
“How does she compare with a Nascent Soul cultivator” Hao Ren asked them.
“Haha, an Eternal Demon King who has gone through two tribulations is naturally more powerful than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. However, there are strong and weak among Nascent Soul cultivators, so it’s hard to say,” Luli莉 cautiously replied.
For human cultivators, once they reached the Nascent Soul realm, they could roam freely in the world; as long as they weren’t hit by a devastating blow, their lifespan would be nearly infinite. Therefore, the strength of Nascent Soul cultivators was mainly judged based on their magical techniques.
Seeing Hao Ren return, members from nearby clubs were somewhat envious. Being able to talk so intimately with Su Han up close was truly enviable.
The stunning woman who had just appeared seemed like a dream; it gave people an unreal feeling.
"Brother Hao, all the club members have been recruited; in total, there are 527 people," Lu Qi walked over and carefully glanced at Su Han before speaking to Hao Ren.
While Hao Ren was talking with Su Han, he turned his head to look at the table of the Calligraphy Club. He saw that all the students who had been queuing were gone, and in front of Xie Yujia were two bags large and small which were full of money.
Zhao Jiayin and the others have already run out of sight, probably out of fear that Hao Ren would make them honor their bet. But looking at the time, it should be around this time that they head to class.
The presidents and key members from other clubs looked at the 250,000 yuan in cash in front of Xie Yujia with greedy and envious eyes, their hearts surging with excitement.
Hao Ren had used the calligraphy club’s name to recruit over five hundred students in just one day. They felt that this wasn’t a regular recruitment process but rather a magic trick. Hao Ren completed what they couldn’t do in a year within just two hours.
"We’re still missing one person," Hao Ren said as he scanned through the list.
"Who" Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren with a puzzled expression.
With two examiners from Donghai University, who were also the only two examiners in all of Donghai City, gathering all young cultivators on campus, it was difficult for Lu Qi to believe that any cultivator would dare defy their orders.
"First-year student from Ji Zi College, Xu Ke," Hao Ren said as he scanned through the list again.
"Xu Ke" Lu Qi frowned; this name seemed unfamiliar to him.
"Never mind. I’ll handle it myself." Hao Ren put away his notebook and placed it in front of Lu Qi, "You’ve done well today. You can keep the list, and these fees will be stored and managed by you."
Lu Qi was taken aback.
"Also, find a suitable large classroom for tomorrow’s club meeting," Hao Ren continued.
"Alright…" Lu Qi nodded in agreement.
He was a rising star in the world of Go and an admired prodigy among people. However, within the dragon clan's world, due to his birthplace being the remote Udlin Fire Dragon Palace, and given that the dragon clan places great importance on their sects, he heavily relied on his own fire dragon palace, limiting his potential for growth.
However, if he could gain recognition from Su Han or Hao Ren, it would be like taking a step closer to the Dragon God Temple. It would bring him one step closer to realizing his dream of soaring high into the sky. After all, no matter how well he fared in secular society, his roots were still within the dragon clan world, and what determined his status was his strength and cultivation level.
Hao Ren was so young yet already a third-rank examiner. Such prospects would make even a Tier-Exchange Lu Qi look up to him in admiration. Especially since Lu Qi had fought Hao Ren twice before but was completely convinced by Hao Ren's skills both times.
"I need to enhance my primary magical treasure this afternoon, can I borrow your Mysterious Peak" Su Han asked.
Hao Ren readily agreed: "Sure."
"Once you guys finish up here, come find me," Su Han said as he turned and walked towards the administrative building.
She originally wanted to wait a few more days before refining her life-bound magic treasure, but the appearance of Eon Demon King made Su Han不敢有絲毫大意，提升法寶品質變得刻不容緩。
According to the Dragon God Temple situation, there were about ten Nascent Soul cultivators lingering in the mortal world, and those living above the fifth layer of heaven or ascending further should be even more numerous.
However, Eon Demon Kings, at most, wouldn't exceed 20. These demon kings were supposedly the earliest batch of beasts to cultivate in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, and all ten great demon kings rumored about were Eon Demon Kings.
Su Han didn't know if this newly emerged demon king had any relation to the top ten in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons. If it was a consort or queen of one of them, then that would be quite significant.
The inner sea controlled by the ten great demon kings was an area even higher realms didn't dare to interfere with.
Hao Ren called out "Su Han" when he saw her take a few steps forward.
"What is it" Su Han stopped and turned back to look at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren ran over, drawing out a purple-gold hairpin. "This is something Zhen Cunming's mother, Consort Zhen, gave me. Can you help me figure out what secrets it holds"
Su Han reached out and took the purple-gold hairpin. Suddenly, her palm felt searing pain, causing the hairpin to drop to the ground. A faint burn mark appeared on her delicate palm.
"You little rascal, so anxious! This purple-gold hairpin is my token of trust; if you have the courage to come find me in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons with it, even a tenth-level demon beast wouldn't dare stop you. Alas... I had hoped to guide your cultivation path, yet you show such distrust. It truly saddens me..."
Consort Zhen's words suddenly appeared in Hao Ren and Su Han’s spiritual awareness. Her tone carried hints of sorrow and reproach but was also incredibly melodious.
"Well then, since Cunming thinks highly of you, I'll tell you how to use this purple-gold hairpin." Consort Zhen's words shifted, continuing, "My purple-gold hairpin needs alternating injections of gold and water elemental powers to drive it. Its speed rivals the map of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace."
Oh... Hao Ren suddenly understood; so this purple-gold hairpin was a flying magic treasure.
If Consort Zhen used it, she could simply flick her wrist and toss it aside to ride off into the wind with ease.
"Little Su, I have met your mother, so rest assured that I won't harm you. This purple-gold hairpin was intended for you, but since you harbor hostility towards me and are accustomed to using the White Jade Sword, you likely wouldn't need it."
Upon hearing Consort Zhen mention her mother, Su Han was slightly surprised and her body trembled.
"I also know that you're going to Nine Dragons Palace for something. However, this item is guarded by Qiu Niu, making it hard to acquire. I'll give you a tip: the 25th day of the lunar August next month would be an auspicious time to enter Nine Dragons Palace. Qiu Niu practices a secret technique that makes his power diminish every thousand years, forcing him to close himself off for recovery."
"Oh... Why tell me this" Su Han asked.
"Hehe, you were severely injured by Qiu Niu and your strength regressed. I know that you must be resentful about it. Coincidentally, Qiu Niu is touring the Myriad Demons Sea and took away my intelligent pet without even informing me, which made me a bit unhappy as well. You can take this opportunity to vent for me. If he dares to retaliate against you, I'll shoulder it for you."
Su Han thought about it and replied, "Okay."
The relationship between the demon kings and concubines in the Myriad Demons Sea and the dragon cultivators was very poor. Su Han did not believe that Concubine Zhen knew her mother or anything of the sort, but the news she mentioned about Qiu Niu retreating into seclusion likely had some credibility.
Hao Ren looked at Su Han in surprise; he never expected Su Han to dare challenge even a disciple of the Creation Dragon, Qiu Niu.
He still did not understand Su Han's character. With one roar from Qiu Niu, Su Han was severely injured and had to recuperate for a long time inside the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. She only recovered with Hao Ren’s divine pills, so there was enmity between them.
No matter whether their opponent is strong or weak, once an enmity exists, it must be resolved;況且蘇涵想要的東西確實在九龍宮裡，而隻有拿到這個東西，她才能萬無一失的晉昇天龍，就為這個理由，蘇涵也值得跟囚牛拚一把。加上拿到那個東西後，她才能毫無阻礙地晉昇天龍，所以蘇涵的確有理由與囚牛一決高下。
"Huhu, Su little sister is indeed straightforward. However, to enter the Nine-Dragon Palace with Hao Junior, unless you reach the Jade stage, it will still be quite difficult," Concubine Zhen added.
Su Han frowned; there was only a month left before August 25th of the lunar calendar. At present, Hao Ren was at the middle level of the Geng stage, and to advance to the Jade stage would be rather rushed.
"I have a method for passing on energy that can solve this problem if time is tight," Concubine Zhen said.
Suddenly, Su Han’s divine sense forcefully received an art technique which was inscribed in her mind.
"I won’t be partial either. Hao Junior, I’ll also transmit a set of techniques to you," Concubine Zhen spoke as thousands of words rushed into Hao Ren’s mind.
Instantly, without even needing to comprehend these characters, Hao Ren seemed to have learned them.
"Seeing that you treat your spirit beast well and haven’t indiscriminately killed any demon beasts in the Myriad Demons Sea, I’ll pass on this ‘Shape Transformation Formula’ which can nurture your spirit beast."
"Furthermore, Hao Junior, your talent is already not bad. You just lack a powerful magic treasure. Actually, within the Dragon God Temple..."
“Demoness” Su Han quickly interrupted Concubine Zhen.
"Huhu… I won’t say too much more. If we accidentally destroy the Dragon God Temple, that would be problematic," Concubine Zhen’s voice abruptly stopped as she instantly retreated from Hao Ren and Su Han’s divine sense.
