Inside the cave.
Hao Ren sat upright.
Today was a special day.
Why was it "special"?
It certainly wasn't because when Hao Ren whipped the Poisonous Girl "Peng Shiliuniang" today, her black leather suit ripped, revealing delicate skin!
Nor was it because the ginseng, reishi mushroom, and fo-ti three medicinal herbs, after years of hearing "pa pa pa" whip sounds, had unlocked their "new vocabulary."
Ginseng: Pa pa pa… Heh heh heh…
Reishi mushroom: Pa pa pa… Heh heh heh…
Fo-ti: Pa pa pa… Heh heh heh…
Speaking of which, the art style of these three medicinal herbs was becoming increasingly off track!
Ahem…
Of course, these were not the main points!
The truly "special" thing about today was that it was the day the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" would open.
Compared to the usual bustling and crowded scene at the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Today, it was much calmer outside the cave.
More than half of the "Golden Core cultivators" had left to participate in the "Dongxuan Secret Realm."
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Zhenting" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
[Ding! Your friend "True Man Qingfeng" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
…
Not only were there cultivators from the "Eastern Desolate Mountain Range," but also a group of "outsider Golden Core cultivators" led by Fang Tian.
[Ding! Your friend "Fang Tian" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
[Ding! Your friend "True Man Xianhe" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
…
In addition to these, there were also a few people Hao Ren paid special attention to who had entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm."
[Ding! Your second disciple "Han Mo" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
[Ding! Your friend "Kong Xiaoxian" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
Initially, Han Mo's purpose for entering the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" was very simple: to find "Dragon Pattern Grass."
"Dragon Pattern Grass" was a good thing!
It was the main ingredient for refining "Dragon Pattern Pills."
The effect of "Dragon Pattern Pills" was to increase the number of dragon patterns on a cultivator's Golden Core.
This was equivalent to improving the cultivator's aptitude!
Very powerful!
Simply heaven-defying!
Many cultivators who entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" had the same goal as Han Mo: to obtain "Dragon Pattern Grass."
However, Han Mo needed "Dragon Pattern Grass" even more urgently than others.
His Golden Core was unique; it was a "Golden Core with no dragon patterns."
Not a single dragon pattern on his Golden Core!
After more than half a year of cultivation, Han Mo had also discovered some clues.
His cultivation speed was fast!
Extremely fast!
In half a year, he was close to advancing from the "early Golden Core stage" to the "middle Golden Core stage."
Under normal circumstances, even a "Nine Dragon Pattern Golden Core" wouldn't cultivate this fast!
Hao Ren had also "subtly" reminded Han Mo.
The "Golden Core with no dragon patterns" might just be a habitual disguise of the "Primordial Yin Spirit Root." The "Golden Core with no dragon patterns" might very well be a "Ten Dragon Pattern Golden Core."
Hao Ren himself wasn't entirely clear about this matter, so he couldn't explain it thoroughly.
However, even so, the "scheming" Han Mo still felt that finding "Dragon Pattern Grass," refining "Dragon Pattern Pills," and adding more dragon patterns to his Golden Core was the safest option.
Furthermore, Han Mo also bore an "important mission."
As the "Protagonist Template of the Mortal Cultivation Flow," Han Mo was Hao Ren's "ultimate weapon" to deal with the "Heavenly Dragon Holy Land."
With Han Mo present, Hao Ren believed that the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" would absolutely not be able to resurrect.
Let alone resurrect, his ashes would be scattered!
Hao Ren had high hopes for Han Mo and specially lent him the "Vajra Hoop" and the "Heaven Pushing Mirror."
With these two magic treasures, Han Mo was like a tiger with wings.
Speaking of Han Mo, let's talk about Kong Xiaoxian.
This lively, charming, and beautiful genius girl from the "Heavenly Machine Holy Land."
Ever since she fused with the "Red Dust Immortal Armor" and solved her "biggest" problem, she had become even more beautiful, giving off a "childlike face with a large whatsit" vibe!
Six months ago, Han Mo had even "confessed" to Kong Xiaoxian!
Kong Xiaoxian had agreed!
The two of them had begun a shameless life of "showing off their affection."
This time, Han Mo was entering the "Dongxuan Secret Realm," and Kong Xiaoxian naturally had to accompany him.
The two of them couldn't be separated for even a moment now.
They would engage in intense "oral exchanges" at every opportunity.
They had even done it several times in front of Hao Ren.
The "public display of affection" had reached such a level, how audacious!
It angered Hao Ren so much that he couldn't help but whip the Poisonous Girl "Peng Shiliuniang" a few more times…
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
[Ding! Your friend "Nine-Eyed Poisonous Spider Queen" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
[Ding! Your friend "Fairy Qingxue" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
[Ding! Your friend "Fairy Qingxue" stored "Sturdy Beds" *99 in her storage bag.]
…
Besides Han Mo, the person Hao Ren paid the most attention to this time was "Wang Tenglong."
Speaking of this "Wang Zhonglong," he was also a "protagonist template character," the kind who "opens a harem."
His entering the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" could also effectively prevent the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" from resurrecting!
However, Hao Ren had a minor issue.
The "Nine-Eyed Poisonous Spider Queen" and "Fairy Qingxue" were Wang Tenglong's confidantes.
Ever since Hao Ren and Wang Tenglong had "communicated by flying sword," they had learned of Hao Ren's existence and, due to Wang Tenglong's relationship, developed "one-star favorability" towards Hao Ren. Therefore, Hao Ren could see their "status updates."
Uh… If the "Nine-Eyed Poisonous Spider Queen" and "Fairy Qingxue" knew that Hao Ren often watched them and Wang Tenglong engage in "omitted here for twenty thousand words," would their "one-star favorability" turn into "five-star hatred"?
Cough cough, these were not the main points!
The main point was the last "status update."
Speaking of which, "Fairy Qingxue," why did you bring "Sturdy Beds" with you when you went on an adventure in the "Dongxuan Secret Realm"?
Do you have very high demands for "quality of life"?
Bringing 99 "sturdy beds" is a bit too much, isn't it!
Are you going on an adventure, or are you going for "outdoor dual cultivation"!
Hao Ren felt exhausted!
Wang Tenglong, "Wang Zhonglong," you truly never disappoint me.
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Dong" used the "Dongxuan Secret Token" and successfully entered the "Dongxuan Secret Realm!"]
Looking at this "status update," Hao Ren was speechless for a long time.
"Little Prince," you actually went?
Oh my, holy crap, your "thought process"…
May I ask what made you think that preventing the "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" from resurrecting would make Yun Yaoyao like you, and allow Su Muxue to break off her engagement with you?
If you had even a sliver of "logic," you wouldn't be completely devoid of it!
