The fifth day lurking in the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Today's combat plan.
Seek out the advantages of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land" and completely crush the confidence of the cultivators in the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Let's go, keep fighting!
Combat report.
Ouyang Hao: Mission progress is smooth.
I have successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks and have been playing with them on the "card table."
Today's "Dou Dizhu," I dominated, winning over three hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Heh heh, happy!
Cough cough...
Of course, these are not the main points. My next operational plan is to expand "business" and enter the "Mahjong world."
...
Sima Longgen: Mission progress is smooth.
I have also successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks.
Now, I am affectionately known as the "Hot Pot Little Prince."
I roam within the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," attending various "hot pot gatherings," feeling right at home.
Cough cough...
I am currently seeking the weaknesses of hot pot, preparing to defeat it in one fell swoop and shatter the "food faith" of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest"!
...
More than thirty "Heaven's Secret Holy Land disciples" sat down for a meeting.
Each of them spoke with great fervor, as if they could defeat the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" in the next moment and let the glory of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land" shine upon this land.
However, stripping away the "grand and lofty" embellishments, the content of their discussions, apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, seemed to be nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.
Uh...
If this continues, let alone displaying the glory of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land," we'll be utterly disgraced!
No way!
We must rally!
We must rise up!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen took the lead in self-reflection. What advantages does our "Heaven's Secret Holy Land" still possess?
Finally, "Brother Wang Next Door" stepped forward.
He said weakly,
"Um, our invitations seem to not have been delivered yet..."
That's right!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen's eyes lit up, overjoyed.
They thought of a brilliant idea.
Golden Origin Pills!
They still had "Golden Origin Pills"!
These were valuable items, best capable of showcasing the formidable foundation of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land."
Yes, let's use this "breakthrough point" to re-establish the prestige of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land."
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen acted with great enthusiasm.
They held the invitations and "Golden Origin Pills," preparing to "show off," bah, preparing to display the foundation of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land"!
And then...
Their first stop was to find Chong Xuanzi.
Chong Xuanzi was the sect leader of the "Chong Xuan Sect" and was also invited to the "Holy Land Assembly."
When Ouyang Hao, Sima Longgen, and a group of "Heaven's Secret Holy Land disciples" found Chong Xuanzi, he was engaged in his "daily activity," a "mouth-to-mouth exercise" with Elder Tao Ming.
Chong Xuanzi: "Tao Ming, you old immortal, with such an ugly face, you shouldn't come out and scare people!"
Elder Tao Ming: "Heh heh, so what if I'm ugly? So what if I'm old? I'm an Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core now, did you hear that clearly? An EIGHT-DRAGON VEIN... Heh, some people seem to be Seven-Dragon Vein, right? Just be jealous!"
Chong Xuanzi: "Pride invites disaster, Tao Ming, I warn you, don't be so arrogant!"
Elder Tao Ming: "Arrogant? Yes, I am arrogant, so what? I have an Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core!"
...
This "mouth-to-mouth exercise" ended with Chong Xuanzi's complete defeat.
Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core?
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen stared at Elder Tao Ming in disbelief.
Was this withered old man really that capable?
Even in their "Heaven's Secret Holy Land," exceptionally rare monstrous talents could achieve an "Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core."
At least, both Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen were only "Seven-Dragon Vein Golden Core," not yet reaching the level of "Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core."
Meanwhile, Chong Xuanzi was almost driven mad with anger.
"Pah! You, a Seven-Dragon Vein Golden Core trash, would you have reached Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core if you hadn't received a Nine-Dragon Vein Pill as a reward from a senior? This is all the senior's merit! What are you so proud of!"
Speaking of the senior, Elder Tao Ming's expression immediately became solemn.
He knelt down in the direction of the cave, prostrating himself with utmost sincerity, and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you, Senior, for your cultivation!"
After doing all this, Elder Tao Ming slowly stood up.
When his gaze returned to Chong Xuanzi, it changed dramatically, becoming "acerbic and sarcastic" once more.
"Yes, I possess an Eight-Dragon Vein Golden Core precisely because of the senior's cultivation. Unlike some people, even after receiving a Nine-Dragon Vein Pill as a reward from the senior, they're still only Seven-Dragon Vein Golden Core. Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic!"
Damn it!
Chong Xuanzi was almost furious.
Unreasonable!
This is too much!
...
On the other side, Ouyang Hao, Sima Longgen, and the others were stunned.
"Brother Wang Next Door" wore an awkward yet polite smile.
"Elder Tao Ming's kowt just now was so sincere, he actually created a large pit in the ground!"
Everyone followed his gaze.
Indeed.
A large pit had appeared where Elder Tao Ming had kowtowed earlier.
Amazing!
Bah, that's not the point at all!
Ouyang Hao was furious, glaring fiercely at "Brother Wang Next Door."
You scoundrel, don't sidetrack the conversation!
The current focus is the "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill," the "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill," the "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill"!
Important things are said three times!
The "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill" was famous, known as the number one "divine pill" in the cultivation world.
Legend had it that consuming this pill had the potential to elevate a "Golden Core Dragon Vein" to nine!
Divine pill!
A divine pill!
However, the difficulty of refining "Nine-Dragon Vein Pills" was extremely high. It was said that even "spiritual fires" couldn't refine it, and only the legendary "divine fire" was needed!
Therefore, "Nine-Dragon Vein Pills" had not appeared for millions of years.
Currently, the entire cultivation world mostly had "One-Dragon Vein Pills" or "Two-Dragon Vein Pills." Higher quality "Dragon Vein Pills" were almost nonexistent!
So, was the "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill" that Chong Xuanzi and Elder Tao Ming just mentioned just bragging?
Right, right, it must be so, it must be bragging!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen declared that they could not accept it, that they could not believe it.
Then, they saw...
The indignant Chong Xuanzi took out a small medicine bottle from his embrace and poured out a "golden pill" from it.
As soon as the "golden pill" appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, almost knocking over Ouyang Hao, Sima Longgen, and the others.
They managed to stand firm and saw the "golden pill" radiating divine light, with nine golden dragon phantoms rising and dancing within.
If this wasn't a "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill," what else could it be?
Looking again at the medicine bottle in Chong Xuanzi's hand, it seemed to contain more "Nine-Dragon Vein Pills."
Heavens!
Ouyang Hao and Sima Longgen were struck by lightning. Their eyes widened, and their mouths opened wide enough to swallow a whole toad.
This was the legendary "Nine-Dragon Vein Pill," a true "divine pill"!
Compared to this, the "Golden Origin Pill" was a knock-off, trash, and waste!
*Snap!*
With a slight sound.
Ouyang Hao secretly threw away the "Golden Origin Pill."
