Chapter 1191: The Astonishing Zhou Danqing
Hou Changfeng let out an awkward laugh, "The Eighth Martial Uncle has such a temperament, Qin Hao, please don't take offense. Since he didn't speak, I'll explain it to you."
Qin Hao nodded, sitting there intending to quietly listen to Hou Changfeng's explanation.
Hou Changfeng paused and said, "The Heaven and Earth Academy was founded by the founding ancestor of our Heaven and Earth Sect. It is one of the top forces on the Hidden Dragon Continent, surpassing even the top forces on the Southern Continent."
Then, Hou Changfeng introduced the history, the foundation, and the powerful figures that have emerged from the Heaven and Earth Sect to Qin Hao, talking for half a day.
The rules of the Heaven and Earth Sect are strict. Although the number of members is not large, everyone who joins the Heaven and Earth Academy is a top-notch prodigy, with a future potential of at least reaching the Supreme Realm.
Initially, Zhou Danqing intended to assess Zhao Yichen, who had the talent and potential to join the Heaven and Earth Sect, but unfortunately, he was killed by Qin Hao.
However, to her surprise, Qin Hao turned out to be a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect as well, and even more surprisingly, he was the disciple of the Eighth Grandmaster.
Qin Hao's master, Yu Ye, has not returned to the Heaven and Earth Academy and is likely still traveling outside.
Yu Ye had instructed Hou Changfeng, otherwise how would Hou Changfeng know Qin Hao's identity?
After finishing, Hou Changfeng handed his communication jade to Qin Hao and Zhou Wantong's as well, telling him to contact them if needed.
"There is nothing else today, just wanted you to meet some of our Heaven and Earth Sect people," Hou Changfeng said to him.
Zhou Wantong also spoke up, "I initially thought you were quite talented and planned to take you as a disciple, but didn't expect you to be taken by the Eighth Martial Uncle."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhou," Qin Hao replied with a smile.
Hou Changfeng laughed, "If there's nothing else, Junior Brother Qin, you can go about your business. If there's anything, just transmit a message to us with the jade."
Qin Hao stood up and walked out, Zhou Danqing and the others followed out as well.
"Qin Hao, stop right there!" Zhou Danqing called out after coming out, looking at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao turned his head to look at her and smiled lightly, "Danqing, you should know your status, is this how you speak to your Martial Uncle?"
Zhou Danqing flushed at his expression and words, but the Heaven and Earth Sect rules are strict.
She had to say begrudgingly, "Little Martial Uncle, I have something to discuss with you."
Qin Hao's smile widened upon hearing her call him Martial Uncle, "Very well, lead the way, Danqing."
"Little Martial Uncle, we'll be leaving first," the others respectfully said to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Very well!"
Being called Little Martial Uncle by these people felt quite satisfying to Qin Hao, especially from Zhou Danqing, who used to pressure him with her mentor status. Now, Qin Hao wanted her to experience the same.
Zhou Danqing led Qin Hao to a mountaintop. There were no pavilions or palaces here, only an open platform with white jade railings at the cliff's edge.
This was a great place for sightseeing. Standing atop the peak allowed one to take in the entirety of Tiandi City, and it was so high that it felt closer to the Heavenly Dao.
Qin Hao looked at Zhou Danqing and said calmly, "Why did you bring me here, Danqing? Your Martial Uncle is very busy, so please speak quickly if there's something."
Zhou Danqing was furious at his address, feeling that this guy was really wielding his newfound authority?
A sudden idea flashed through her mind, and she smiled slightly, "Since Little Martial Uncle is so wise, you must have deep insights into the Heavenly Dao. Can Little Martial Uncle offer some guidance? I have been stuck at the peak of the Extreme Realm Late Stage for a long time."
Are you not my Martial Uncle? I would like to see how you answer this. If you can't, what right do you have to be called my Martial Uncle?
Although the Heaven and Earth Sect's rules are strict, they are based on the principle that strength reigns supreme.
Qin Hao understood her intention from her words; she was trying to challenge him, but she had chosen the wrong person.
He looked at Zhou Danqing and smiled lightly, "Danqing, don't ask such foolish questions to your Martial Uncle in the future. Answering them would make your Little Martial Uncle look foolish."
Zhou Danqing was furious, her face turned red, her chest heaving, "Since Little Martial Uncle considers it a foolish question, it must be easy for you? May Danqing hear your insights?"
Qin Hao produced a pill in his hand, "Do you recognize this?"
Zhou Danqing saw the pill in his hand, her face froze, eyes widened in disbelief, "Is this... a Transcendent Elixir? How did you get such a pill?"
Qin Hao smiled, "If you want to break through from the Extreme Realm Late Stage to the Transcendent Realm, one Transcendent Elixir is enough, Danqing, don't you think it's simple?"
Zhou Danqing looked at him in shock. That was a Transcendent Elixir, how could he have it? Even the Heaven and Earth Sect doesn't possess such a pill.
Even across the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, those who can refine this level of elixir are few, and it's not available in the market. If there were any for sale, it's an astronomical price.
Qin Hao continued, "As for breaking through from the Transcendent Realm to the Mahayana Realm, it's also simple. A thousand-year Spirit Fruit, combined with a Small Breaking Wall Elixir, then consume this Mahayana Elixir, and you can reach the Mahayana Realm."
As he spoke, in Qin Hao's hand appeared a brilliantly shining Spirit Fruit, a Small Breaking Wall Elixir, and a Mahayana Elixir.
Zhou Danqing was dumbfounded. She was utterly stunned by Qin Hao. Everything in Qin Hao's hands was priceless.
She had seen the thousand-year Spirit Fruit in ancient books, which looked identical to the one in Qin Hao's hand. And the Small Breaking Wall Elixir was an ancient period elixir, now extinct, yet he had it all.
At this moment, Zhou Danqing came to her senses, seriously examining Qin Hao with her beautiful eyes. She was really curious, where did Qin Hao get so many invaluable items?
Qin Hao, seeing her expression, chuckled softly, "Danqing, do you now understand your Little Martial Uncle's strength? These elixirs might be unattainable elsewhere, but with your Martial Uncle, you can have as many as you want. Besides, your Martial Uncle has many other elixirs, such as Basic-level Spirit Body Elixirs, Intermediate Spirit Body Elixirs, High-level Spirit Body Elixirs, Top-level Spirit Body Elixirs, Low Grade Immortal Body Elixir, etc. These are purely for refining physical strength elixirs."
Zhou Danqing stared blankly at him, "Your physical strength is so strong, is it because you used these elixirs?"
Qin Hao, "Indeed, your Martial Uncle is now a top-level Spiritual Body, nearing the immortal body of immortality."
"Who... exactly are you?" Zhou Danqing was shocked beyond words.
Qin Hao smiled faintly, "I intended to give you a Transcendent Elixir, but seeing that you have no reverence for your Martial Uncle, it's better to wait for another chance. Your time has not yet come, we'll talk about it in the future."
