Chapter 1192: You Can't Sit Here
Zhou Danqing was slightly taken aback by his words, but she quickly realized that Qin Hao must be fooling her. Would he really give me a Transcendent Elixir?
She said, "Little Uncle, I really need a Transcendent Elixir right now. I don't ask you to give it to me for free; I'm willing to pay with Spirit Stones, no matter how many it takes."
Qin Hao sat on a nearby jade bench. "Uncle doesn't lack Spirit Stones. If I wanted to sell it, I would have auctioned it off long ago for a sky-high price."
Zhou Danqing hurriedly said, "I also have some rare materials and herbs here to trade."
Qin Hao replied, "I have plenty of those things; I don't lack them."
In his merit shop, he could exchange for all sorts of things—not just weapons, elixirs, and Spirit Fruits, but also various rare materials and herbs.
Zhou Danqing was a bit annoyed to hear his words, "Then what does Uncle actually want?"
Qin Hao smiled lightly and said, "Uncle needs nothing, except these days my shoulders feel a bit sore. If someone could give me a massage, that would be great."
Zhou Danqing was momentarily stunned; she wasn't a fool and immediately understood what Qin Hao meant.
She gritted her teeth and walked behind Qin Hao, stretching out her slender jade-like hands to massage his shoulders. "Little Uncle, it just so happens that I'm skilled in massage techniques. How do you feel?"
Qin Hao closed his eyes slightly, with a look of enjoyment on his face. To be honest, Zhou Danqing really was skilled in massage techniques; her technique was quite good.
Zhou Danqing felt very displeased seeing Qin Hao's expression. If not for the Transcendent Elixir, how could she possibly serve him like a maid?
After about half an hour, Zhou Danqing noticed Qin Hao's breathing was even, and a slight snoring sound came from him. She couldn't help but shout, "Little Uncle??"
Qin Hao slightly opened his eyes, looked at the sun, and said, "Is it already noon? I need to go back and eat!"
With that, he got up to leave. Zhou Danqing saw his movements and hurriedly asked, "Little Uncle, about the Transcendent Elixir..."
"The Transcendent Elixir is a very precious pill. Even though you are my niece, I can't easily give it to you. Since you did well today, I'll reward you with an Intermediate Spirit Body Elixir first." With that, he tossed out a pill.
Zhou Danqing caught the Intermediate Spirit Body Elixir and wanted to say something, but Qin Hao's figure had already disappeared from her sight.
She looked at the Intermediate Spirit Body Elixir in her hand and then returned to her residence. Back in the palace, she consumed the Intermediate Spirit Body Elixir to see its effects.
...
On his way back to Hidden Dragon Hall, Qin Hao was humming a little tune, feeling extremely happy.
Inside Hidden Dragon Hall, Nangong Yuya, Lan Manshuang, and Ye Lingyi were chatting enthusiastically. Seeing Qin Hao return, Lan Manshuang curiously said, "Why are you back just now?"
Qin Hao sat down with a smile on his face. "Mr. Hou told me in detail about the situation with the Heaven and Earth Sect, and he introduced me to a few juniors among the nieces and nephews."
"You seem so happy. Is there some good news?" Nangong Yuya asked.
Qin Hao replied, "It really is good news. I found that my seniority within the Heaven and Earth Sect is quite high. All the academy's mentors have to respectfully call me Uncle!"
"You're of the same generation as Mr. Hou, so of course, your seniority is high. You should consider what kind of person Mr. Hou is—a Ninth Grade Supreme Realm master, one of the top experts on the Southern Continent," Nangong Yuya responded.
Qin Hao looked at Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya, "You two seem to be chatting quite warmly."
Lan Manshuang smiled slightly. "Our Yunv Sect plans to form an alliance with the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty to handle the complex situation on the Southern Continent."
Nangong Yuya also said, "Our alliance can only be beneficial. The situation on the Southern Continent is complicated; all the forces are looking for allies. This is the only way to have more security."
Lan Manshuang nodded, "I've already told my mother about it. She should be discussing the alliance with Mr. Nangong now."
Qin Hao said, "That's a good thing; having another ally is always good!"
Nangong Yuya laughed and said, "It's almost noon. Let's eat out today; it's my treat!"
Qin Hao nodded, "Great, then we'll have a good meal on Princess Yuya today."
The group left Hidden Dragon Hall and headed outside Heaven and Earth Academy. The Zhao Family people had already left, so Qin Hao didn't need them to get involved.
Now the Zhao Family wouldn't dare to act rashly. Qin Hao is now a disciple of Heaven and Earth Sect and a fellow junior of Hou Changfeng. If they dared to attack Qin Hao, the entire family might not withstand an attack from Heaven and Earth Sect.
Outside Heaven and Earth Academy, Qin Hao and the others went into a restaurant where Nangong Yuya booked a private room and let Qin Hao, Lan Manshuang, and Ye Lingyi order some dishes.
While waiting for the food, Nangong Yuya said, "Have you heard? A few more Sacred Mountains have emerged in the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."
Qin Hao asked curiously, "Sacred Mountains?"
Nangong Yuya, knowing he didn't understand much, explained, "These newly emerged Sacred Mountains are similar to the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, all composed of incredibly powerful demon clans—one could say high-level demon beasts."
Qin Hao knew the power of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, which was stronger than the top forces on the Southern Continent. Now, a few more Sacred Mountains appearing? That's truly terrifying.
While they were talking, the food arrived quickly, and Nangong Yuya also ordered a few bottles of top-grade Spiritual Wine.
After filling the wine, Nangong Yuya raised her glass and said, "I toast to everyone."
Ye Lingyi said, "Princess Yuya, you don't have to be so polite. Since you're treating today, we should be toasting you."
After lunch, it was already past one in the afternoon. They left the restaurant, and the cheeks of Nangong Yuya and the others were a bit flushed, looking quite attractive.
They returned to the academy and went their separate ways to rest.
...
The next morning, Qin Hao and the others went to their respective classes. Yesterday, the mentors informed the students to gather in the classroom today.
Qin Hao entered his class and found many unfamiliar faces, with more people than before.
The class, which was initially a bit noisy, quieted down when they saw Qin Hao enter. Everyone was looking at him.
Qin Hao found an empty seat and sat down. Next to him was a young woman.
She turned to look at Qin Hao and said coldly, "You can't sit here!"
Qin Hao frowned and asked, "Is this your home? Why can't I sit here?"
"This is Yichen's seat!" Lin Jia replied indifferently.
Qin Hao was momentarily taken aback. He looked at Lin Jia and said, "That trash has already been killed by me. This seat is now unowned, so I'll sit if I want to."
