"Senior, this elixir is too precious, we absolutely cannot accept it!"
Inside the cave.
"First Generation of the Dihua Divine Cult," Yun Zhenting.
"Second Generation of the Dihua Divine Cult," True Person Qingfeng.
"Reincarnated Great Master," Chi Lian.
"Happy Enemies," Chong Xuanzi and Elder Tao Ming.
"The Trio from Outside," Fang Tian, True Person Xianhe, and Li Saifeng.
"Business Genius": Qian Duoduo.
A total of nine people stood neatly before Hao Ren.
They had originally intended to kneel, but Hao Ren had strictly forbidden it.
Why kneel? Was it to visit a grave during Qingming Festival? Too inauspicious!
At the command of "A Certain Senior," the nine stood at attention, as straight as pine trees, unmoving!
Yun Zhenting, at the forefront, was currently extremely apprehensive, constantly refusing.
"Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs are priceless! Legend has it that taking them allows cultivators to break through innate talent limitations, ascending from a One Dragon Mark Golden Core to a Nine Dragon Mark Golden Core... Too precious, truly too precious!"
Hearing this, Hao Ren inwardly scoffed.
The rumors were false!
The "Nine Dragon Mark Elixir" was indeed powerful!
It was entirely feasible to advance from a "One Dragon Mark Golden Core" to an "Eight Dragon Mark Golden Core."
However, advancing from an "Eight Dragon Mark Golden Core" to a "Nine Dragon Mark Golden Core" was impossible.
Little Dragon Girl succeeded because the two "little blood dragons" consumed their "origin power" to help her; it was a fortunate coincidence.
For anyone else, it would be impossible!
Over the past ten-plus days, Hao Ren had consumed a large number of "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs."
Recently, he had either been "refining elixirs" or "popping pills."
The effect of taking large quantities of "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs" was quite evident.
Originally, Hao Ren had forty-seven "One Dragon Mark Lightning Cores" in his body. Now, three of them had been upgraded to "Eight Dragon Mark Lightning Cores."
Once a "Lightning Core" condensed the "eighth golden dragon mark," it reached its limit. Further consumption of "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs" would have no effect; the medicinal properties would be directly lost, and a "ninth golden dragon mark" could no longer be added.
Alas!
Hao Ren had also considered whether to bring back the two "little blood dragons" to do more "heavy lifting."
Later, he abandoned the idea.
The two "little blood dragons" were still young; they were children. Excessive consumption of their "origin power" would kill them!
Furthermore, Hao Ren also worried that the same thing that happened to Little Dragon Girl might happen to him.
The "origin power" of the two "little blood dragons" would form the "tenth golden dragon mark" and the "eleventh golden dragon mark" respectively.
At that point, Hao Ren's "Eight Dragon Mark Lightning Cores" would directly advance to "Eleven Dragon Mark Lightning Cores."
This was not a good thing!
Hao Ren would, like Little Dragon Girl, enter a "mysterious state."
Heaven-bestowed spiritual essence, a profound enlightenment!
His cultivation realm would surge uncontrollably, directly breaking through bottleneck constraints and ascending to the "Nascent Soul realm."
A breakthrough in a major realm inevitably meant facing a heavenly tribulation!
The current Hao Ren was not prepared at all to face a "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation."
Last time, he had spent an entire "small fortune" helping Little Dragon Girl overcome her tribulation. Now, his treasury was so empty that even rats would shed tears of sorrow.
Speaking of the last tribulation, Hao Ren was still filled with "righteous indignation."
It was such a rip-off!
A "small fortune" was gone just like that!
Moreover, the most crucial point was that Hao Ren had not managed to harvest any "heavenly tribulation power."
According to the normal procedure, after the "Great Spending Technique" absorbed the "heavenly tribulation power," it would feed back to Hao Ren, forming a powerful "One Dragon Mark Lightning Core" in his dantian.
However, the situation had changed that day.
The "heavenly tribulation power" absorbed by the "Great Spending Technique" had completely dissipated, and Hao Ren had gained nothing.
This was outrageous!
Hao Ren flew into a rage and questioned "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo.
After Han Mo returned, he had returned the "Pushing Heaven Mirror" and the "Golden Cudgel" to Hao Ren.
Faced with Hao Ren's "inquiry," "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo replied.
"Dad, don't worry, let me explain slowly! No one understands the Great Spending Technique better than I do..."
Chuan Jianguo provided a "very scientific" explanation.
The "heavenly tribulation power" absorbed by the "Great Spending Technique" had a personalized imprint.
For Little Dragon Girl's "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation," the "heavenly tribulation power" contained her unique imprint. No one other than Little Dragon Girl herself could absorb this "heavenly tribulation power."
This was called "rejection."
As for why Hao Ren could absorb Han Mo's "heavenly tribulation power" when helping him overcome his tribulation, it was because Han Mo was Hao Ren's disciple, and the compatibility of their personal imprints was very high.
This was called "high matching degree."
"Rejection"? "Matching degree"?
Damn it!
Chuan Jianguo, tell me honestly, are you a "transmigrator"? Or a "transmigrator" who studied medicine!
...
In short, the last tribulation incident had cost Hao Ren dearly.
However, "Big Dragon Girl," oh, forget it, Little Dragon Girl was now a "great master"!
Her "bombshell figure," oh, her strength was immense!
Once she finished her current closed-door cultivation and emerged, she would be a true "late Nascent Soul realm expert."
With such a "great master" by his side, Hao Ren felt a significant increase in his sense of security!
...
Returning to the topic.
This time, Hao Ren had called Yun Zhenting and the others over for one reason.
To give them "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs."
Hao Ren was very caring towards his own people.
These "little fanboys" of his had been incredibly supportive of Hao Ren for so long.
They hadn't gained much significant benefit from Hao Ren; instead, Hao Ren had been taking advantage of them.
Especially Yun Zhenting. How many "good things" had this fellow given to Hao Ren over time?
Even the "Dragon Mark Grass" was given by Yun Zhenting.
If it weren't for the two stalks of "One Leaf Dragon Mark Grass" that Yun Zhenting had provided, Hao Ren wouldn't have been able to cultivate a large quantity of "Nine Leaf Dragon Mark Grass," let alone refine "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs."
Yun Zhenting's contribution was immense!
Therefore, Hao Ren intended to give each of them a bottle of "Nine Dragon Mark Elixir."
This was a good deed!
However, to Hao Ren's surprise, Yun Zhenting and the others were unwilling to accept it!
"Senior, the Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs are truly too precious, we absolutely cannot accept them!"
Yun Zhenting, as the "First Generation of the Dihua Divine Cult," represented everyone in raising his "objection" to Hao Ren.
This was the first time Yun Zhenting had "opposed" Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was not angry at all.
These guys!
Hao Ren's face hardened, and he automatically entered "show-off mode."
"If I tell you to accept them, you will accept them!"
His voice was filled with endless authority, like a divine decree, making it impossible to refuse.
Yun Zhenting and the others dared not refuse any further, and they all accepted the "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs."
And so, Yun Zhenting and the others, each holding a bottle of "Nine Dragon Mark Elixirs," left the cave with excited and thrilled hearts.
