“Although I completely agree with you on calling Uncle a ‘pervert’, I would still like to say you are such a b*tch,” Zhao Yanzi said as she sat behind Hao Ren.
Hao Ren gasped and turned to her. “Whose side is she on, really?” he thought.
This was the first time in Duan Yao’s life that he was called a ‘b*tch’, so she was instantly enraged just like how Zhao Yanzi was moments ago.
“There should be techniques at the Sky Mountain Sect for raising and training snow lions, right?” Hao Ren continued to ask Duan Yao.
“I won’t let you get your hands on them even if it costs my life!” Duan Yao turned away furiously.
“Oh, this chick is quite stubborn!” Zhao Yanzi interrupted.
Again, Hao Ren turned and looked at Zhao Yanzi. He suddenly felt like the name ‘pervert’ might be more suitable for her.
“How shameless are you to be his cauldron and dual cultivation partner at such a young age!” Duan Yao criticized Zhao Yanzi with disdain.
“You… I…” Zhao Yanzi didn’t expect Duan Yao to bring up this topic. Having no way to explain it appropriately, she stuttered a lot.
She realized that Hao Ren was a powerful male cultivator while she was a weaker female cultivator. Also, they were seated together on a spirit beast. No matter how one looked at it, she and Hao Ren looked like cultivation partners…
“What is it like on Sixth Heaven?” Hao Ren was unaffected and asked Duan Yao another question.
“You can go to Sixth Heaven and see for yourself if you can!” Duan Yao answered angrily.
“Humph, how dare you be so rude and fierce when your life is in my hands! Just wait and see how I’ll handle you when we get you back to our mountain!” Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but interfere again.
At this point, she sounded like a complete bandit.
“If you dare to go to Sixth Heaven, I will call all the sects on Sixth Heaven to chase after you!” Duan Yao responded to Zhao Yanzi’s threat with her own threat.
“Sounds good! Let’s see if you die first, or we die first.” Zhao Yanzi went head to head with Duan Yao while glaring at her.
Hao Ren found the bickering between the two girls pointless. He covered Zhao Yanzi’s mouth before continuing to question Duan Yao. “How about common cultivation techniques; do you have any of those?”
Zhao Yanzi smacked off Hao Ren’s hand and said, “Uncle, what are you talking to her for!? Just search her already! Do you need to be polite when she outright called you a pervert?”
Zhao Yanzi’s words finally brought a shade of fear onto Duan Yao’s face. Her clothes were already badly torn, making her smooth skin partly visible, if…
“I have a ‘Big Dipper Constellation Scroll’; you can take it.” Duan Yao took out a cultivation technique from her storage bag anxiously.
Hao Ren took the cultivation technique and handed it to Zhao Yanzi who was behind him.
Now with the cultivation technique in her hands, Zhao Yanzi realized that Hao Ren was trying to collect cultivation techniques for her. Since the cultivation techniques in the dragon palace were only suitable for dragon cultivators. They had to come to Fifth Heaven to gather cultivation techniques that were suitable for human cultivators.
However, the sects on Fifth Heaven were relatively weak. Hence, capturing a cultivator from Sixth Heaven at this time was perfect for acquiring better cultivation techniques.
“Now that you’ve taken my cultivation technique, you should let me go, right?” Duan Yao negotiated as she watched Hao Ren.
Her tone was softer than before.
“Do you have any techniques or methods for growing snow lotuses?” Hao Ren asked again.
“There are two palaces in the Sky Mountain Sect. One is the Beast Palace, and the other is the Flower Palace. The Beast Palace is responsible for raising spirit beasts, and the Flower Palace is for growing spiritual herbs. Only the elders of the two palaces have the things you’re asking for. If you’re capable, you can go to Sixth Heaven and obtain those things yourself. There is nothing that you can prove by capturing a weak and insignificant disciple like me?” Duan Yao stated.
“Would an insignificant disciple have access to such a powerful spirit beast for running an errand?” Hao Ren let out a laugh as he further questioned.
The hint of mockery in Hao Ren’s laugh seemed obnoxious and spiteful in Duan Yao’s eyes.
“I would also like to take your longsword.” Hao Ren handed the beautiful jade longsword to Zhao Yanzi as he spoke.
Holding the longsword, Zhao Yanzi was greatly elated. She did not know what materials were used in the sword; she only found it exquisitely beautiful. She believed that it would undoubtedly seem elegant and cool for a girl like her to use such a sword.
“You…” Duan Yao’s eyebrows rose.
The longsword was given to her by her father for defense, and it was refined from a perfect piece of top-grade Sky Flower Stone. Duan Yao cherished it immensely and had been waiting for the right time to turn it into her natal dharma treasure.
Since she was protected by Luo Jia, the level 5 spirit beast, she hardly used this sword. Today, due to a moment of carelessness and a desire to show off her power, she lost it to Hao Ren.
“That’s settled then, weak disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect.” Hao Ren smiled at Duan Yao and gently patted Duan Yao’s head. Then, he turned to give Little White a pat on its stomach.
Shuu… Four flashes of colorful lights were emitted from Little White’s paw as it flew away to the south.
Although Little White was only a level 2 spirit beast, with the help of its set of flight dharma treasure, its flying speed was, in fact, equivalent to a level 6 snow lion.
In the blink of an eye, Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi, and Little White disappeared into the clouds in the south.
Minutes later, Luojia which had been stiff from head to toe descended onto the nearest hilltop it could find feebly like a defeated rooster.
With her clothes torn up, her cultivation technique and sword looted, and herself humiliated by getting a gentle pat from Hao Ren, Duan Yao clenched her fists and gritted teeth as she turned to face the south and howled in anger, “Per…vert…!”
“Just wait and see; I will find you and get back my Purple Green Treasure Sword!” Duan Yao stomped her feet with rage.
At this moment, Hao Ren already returned to the Ethereal Summit after patrolling around it.
Standing on his black disk, Zhen Congming followed right behind them.
Zhao Yanzi was now feeling overjoyed. Not only did she get a little space of her own on Fifth Heaven, but she also unexpectedly got a cultivation technique and a sword today.
She started exerting the little Foundation Establishment Realm nature essence she had gathered into the sword. Immediately, she could feel that the jade longsword had no resistance at all toward the circulation of her nature essence. Also, as the nature essence continued to perfuse throughout the longsword, it became even more beautiful as it turned crystal clear and jade-like.
Hao Ren shook his head and laughed helplessly as he watched how Zhao Yanzi could not take her hands off her new favorite longsword.
“Hey, that little girl was quite beautiful. Do you like her? Is that why you let her go so easily?” As she played with the longsword, Zhao Yanzi asked Hao Ren abruptly.
“If I like her, I would have captured her and brought her back to be my wife.” Hao Ren shot Zhao Yanzi a glance. “She is one with status; if she secretly sent out signals and we took too long to deal with her, we would be in big trouble when her people approach and surround us.”
After giving it some thought, Zhao Yanzi agreed with Hao Ren.
In the valley, Grandma just helped Xie Yujia finish building a simple border with bamboo sticks. Although Xie Yujia’s forehead was covered with sweat from working so hard, there was a cheerful smile on her face.
Shuu… A voice transmission note floated toward them through the entrance of the valley.
Hao Ren reached out and caught the note. Then, he opened it smoothly.
“Liu Yan, a junior of Qin Yin Sect, would like to host the seniors at our Sect.”
On Hao Ren’s way back to the Ethereal Summit, Little White was seen across the sky. As Qin Yin Sect noticed the return of the ‘senior’, they immediately sent out an invitation.
“Yujia, why don’t you take Grandma to Qin Yin Sect for a visit?” Hao Ren asked cheerfully.
“Sure…” Xie Yujia agreed as she gently helped Grandma up and seated themselves horizontally on Little White’s back.
With fire ejecting from its claws, Little White steadily ascended into midair and flew toward Qin Yin Sect.
Upon seeing the arrival of the snow lion, the sect master of the Qin Yin Sect understood that the seniors from the valley took the invitation and became ecstatic.
Soon, with the help of a beautiful female cultivator in her Qi Refinement Realm, an elder that released no aura at all set foot onto the main plaza at Qin Yin Sect.
From the shape that the elder was in, the sect master of Qin Yin Sect firmly believed that she was a master cultivator on the Nascent Soul Realm who already achieved complete mind tranquility. Therefore, the sect master did not dare to negligent her and promptly received them with utmost respect and consideration.
As for Hao Ren who stayed behind in the valley, he was helping Zhao Yanzi understand the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll they had just acquired.
The Big Dipper Constellation Scroll was divided into seven chapters, and each was named after one of the seven stars in the constellation: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang 1 .
The cultivation technique commanded the power of the Big Dipper constellation, and it contained elegant and graceful sword techniques; very suitable for female cultivators. Furthermore, as the cultivation strength increased, the power of the sword techniques would improve exponentially. All in all, it was a simple cultivation technique that allowed ample room for growth.
The more Zhao Yanzi looked at it, the fonder she became of this cultivation technique. She even felt that it was a custom-made cultivation technique for her.
Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan… As Hao Ren flipped through the technique, he suddenly found that it was missing the last three chapters!
Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan formed the bowl of the Big Dipper, while Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang formed the handle of the Big Dipper.
In other words, this Big Dipper Constellation Scroll was missing the second half of the technique!
“Zi, this cultivation technique is not complete.” Hao Ren stated as he rolled up the cultivation technique.
“How come?” Zhao Yanzi looked to Hao Ren in surprise.
“There are seven chapters in total. Yet, we only have the first four here; the three that are of higher level are missing.”
“What?” Zhao Yanzi was completely in shock for a moment. Soon, she became livid. “That girl… how dare she fool me!”
“Since it is incomplete, you shouldn’t try to cultivate it anymore. I will find you a more reliable cultivation technique on Fifth Heaven,” Hao Ren sighed.
“No way, I like this one!” Zhao Yanzi responded determinedly.
Clutching the longsword, Zhao Yanzi said, “This is the one I will cultivate. When the time comes, I will go to Sixth Heaven and seize the last three chapters!”
Hao Ren couldn’t help but respond with a chuckle. He thought it would already be an incredible feat if Zhao Yanzi had the patience to finish cultivating the first four chapters.
“Start with the first chapter then. Since this sword can’t be stored in your storage ring yet, you should just keep it in your cave abode here at Ethereal Summit and cultivate the technique here,” Hao Ren said.
“Got it. In three months, I will defeat that chick by myself for sure!”
All of a sudden, Zhao Yanzi’s motivation heightened. She opened the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll to the first page and began studying it meticulously.
Just like that, Zhao Yanzi who was from First Heaven and Duan Yao who was from Sixth Heaven had now become nemeses. One vowed to obtain the other half of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, and the other swore to get her treasure sword back.
However, at the moment, Zhao Yanzi didn’t have the ability nor the courage to confront Duan Yao on Sixth Heaven, and Duan Yao also had no way of finding Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi’s hiding place on Fifth Heaven.
Zhao Yanzi was mad because Duan Yao was arrogant and ordered her spirit beast to attack others carelessly. Also, she was mad that Duan Yao cheated them and only gave them half of the cultivation technique.
On the other hand, Duan Yao was angry because the Purple Green Treasure Sword was her most cherished treasure; she was even more upset than Zhao Yanzi could imagine. It took a lot of effort for her to convince her father to gift her the Purple Green Treasure Sword since it was a top-tier dharma treasure. As for the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, it was obtained from a prominent elder by her father using his sect master status and great treasures. It was a great cultivation technique from Seventh Heaven. Needless to say, it was of incredibly high value.
Even though there was still an original copy of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll at the Sky Mountain Sect, it was a cultivation technique acquired at the cost of six top-tier snow lotuses, two level 4 snow lions, and the pride of the sect master of the Sky Mountain Sect. Losing it to Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi with nothing in return upset and angered Duan Yao greatly.
Time passed quickly. Now, Zhao Yanzi had memorized the Tianshu Chapter, chapter one and the simplest of them all. She was not aware of the fact that this was a cultivation technique from Seventh Heaven. All she noticed was that it was easier and more straightforward than the one she had cultivated before she lost her dragon core. Moreover, it had more variations available.
Little White descended slowly from the high sky after going to the Qin Yin Sect, and Grandma looked like she was in a great mood with a healthy glow on her cheeks.
“Time to go back!” Hao Ren called out.
Consumed by thoughts of his own, Zhen Congming was just lying on the grass when he heard the call. Immediately, he got up and tossed out the black disk for Grandma to ride on.
Little White briskly went around the valley and took Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi onto its back.
They burst out of the valley and the array formation on Fifth Heaven. Within moments, they had returned to the Golden Cattle Mountain.
With a pleasant glow on her face, Grandma lied on the big rock and continued the nap.
Moments later, Hao Zhonghua, who had caught more than a dozen butterflies, and Yue Yang, who was holding more than a dozen sealed off small test tubes, returned to the car.
“We walked a little too far; that is why we got back so late! You must have been waiting so long. Come, picnic time!” Hao Zhonghua announced as he carefully put away the bottles containing butterflies in the car.
Rubbing her eyes, Grandma sat up slowly and was confused.
“Mom, how come your face is so red?” Yue Yang was concerned as she walked over and helped Grandma steady herself.
“I fell asleep in the sun and had a fascinating dream. In it, I flew to the sky and into a place where immortals lived. There was a gorgeous palace in a beautiful valley. The girls in the palace all addressed me as a senior, and they offered me delicious wines and put on amazing performances for me. Oh my, those girls were so pretty. A few dozens of them performed a sword dance together, and it was phenomenal!”
Grandma took in a deep breath as she recalled the events in her ‘dream’ and described them expressively.
“Mom, you must have slept too much,” Hao Zhonghua said with a chuckle.
“Zi, Ren, Congming, and Yujia were all in the dream. I even taught Jia how to build a plastic greenhouse,” Grandma added.
Hao Zhonghua shook his head helplessly as he turned to look at Hao Ren and the others.
“And Little White; It became this big in the sky!” Grandma glanced at Little White who was by her feet while she gestured with her arms.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
Little White lifted its head and looked at Hao Zhonghua and Grandma with its big, innocent, and glistening eyes. After all, it was only as big as a palm with its four small golden claws; a night and day difference to what Grandma had just described.
“Mom, it is definitely the best feeling to have sweet dreams while bathing in the sun,” Hao Zhonghua helped Grandma onto the picnic spot carefully. Then, he turned and shouted to Hao Ren, “Put out the picnic blanket and take out the food!”
“Got it!” Hao Ren answered and began taking everything out of the car.
The recovery Grandma gained from staying two hours on Fifth Heaven far exceeded the result of hour-long nursing by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. As a guest at the Qin Yin Sect, she was served the best spirit wine and the best spirit fruit!
No ordinary mortal could ever receive such treatments!
Since Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were busy preparing for the picnic, they did not notice that Grandma seemed ten years younger than before after the nap. Her wrinkles were gone, and she became agile and quick!
