Good stuff!
Hao Ren's eyes lit up, overjoyed.
These three "Dragon's Tooth Grains" were truly wonderful!
"Dragon's Tooth Grains" were equivalent to even more awesome elixirs.
Their medicinal effects were gentler than elixirs, and after consumption, they wouldn't cause a sudden surge in a cultivator's power. Instead, they would strengthen the foundation and cultivate the origin, leading to slow and steady progression in a cultivator's power.
The greatest benefit of this method was that it had no side effects!
Elixirs contained medicinal toxins!
Consuming too many could lead to drug resistance, significantly reducing their effectiveness, and even impacting a cultivator's foundation.
As for spiritual grains like "Dragon's Tooth Grains," the more one ate and the longer one consumed them, the better the effects.
Legend had it that the genius disciples of the sacred lands never consumed elixirs; they all ate spiritual grains.
Looking at the three "Dragon's Tooth Grains," Hao Ren felt excited, yet also a little regretful.
Alas!
There were too few!
These three "Dragon's Tooth Grains" would likely only last for three days.
Not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!
Alas, that's right... Hao Ren's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a brilliant idea.
"Dragon's Tooth Grains" were both fruits and seeds. Could he cultivate them?
Once cultivation was successful, Hao Ren would have an endless supply of "Dragon's Tooth Grains."
[Ding! System friendly reminder: "Dragon's Tooth Grains" are extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring irrigation from "Heaven's First Water" and a "Top-Grade Spiritual Spring Eye," along with specialized cultivation hand seals...]
Wow!
Spiritual grains truly lived up to their reputation as extraordinary heavenly treasures, and the cultivation difficulty was sky-high!
But fortunately, Hao Ren possessed "Heaven's First Water" and a "Top-Grade Spiritual Spring Eye." Now, all he needed was the cultivation hand seal.
"Heh, System, as the omniscient and omnipotent you, you wouldn't happen to not know the specific details of the cultivation hand seal, would you?"
[Ding! The System disdainfully reminds: Scumbag host, do not attempt to use the "provocation tactic." The omniscient and omnipotent System will not fall for it!!]
I won't tell you!
I just won't tell you!
Hee hee... I'll drive you crazy!
The System was very tsundere!
It was often infuriated by Hao Ren, causing it to speak in a foreign language. It decided to retaliate against Hao Ren this time.
The System eagerly anticipated Hao Ren's enraged appearance.
Who would have thought that Hao Ren would simply smile faintly?
"Heh heh..."
And then, there was no then!
[Ding... Ding... Ding...]
Hao Ren's calm and indifferent demeanor left the System speechless.
What did your "heh heh" mean?
This omniscient and omnipotent System vaguely sensed mockery...
Are you mocking me, damn it?
[Ding... Ding! The System disdainfully reminds: Scumbag host, do not attempt to use the "provocation tactic"...]
"You call it a provocation tactic? Fine, whatever makes you happy, heh heh..."
Damn it!
Another "heh heh"!
[Ding... Ding... Ding...]
[Ding! The System strongly reminds: This System is omniscient and omnipotent, it is not bragging, this System truly knows the cultivation hand seal...]
"Alright, alright, you know, you know. That's enough, don't say it anymore. Just pretend I believe you, heh heh..."
Damn this "heh heh"!
The System was about to explode!
[Ding ding ding! Scumbag host, listen carefully, the cultivation hand seal is as follows:...]
The furious System launched into a "teaching" session with Hao Ren.
It imparted the "cultivation hand seal" to Hao Ren.
It wasn't too difficult; with Hao Ren's Foundation Establishment realm cultivation, he could barely use it.
Hao Ren smiled.
"System, you're truly awesome. I really believe you now, heh heh..."
[Ding! The System humbly reminds: This System is omniscient and omnipotent, there is nothing this System does not know... Ding... Ding ding ding... Scumbag host, did you use the 'provocation tactic' on this System... Ding... Beep beep beep...]
The System snapped back to reality, feeling that it had been tricked by Hao Ren again. It immediately flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of "foreign language output" at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was completely immune.
He gleefully went to open the other two gift boxes.
Su Muxue was a good woman. Her first gift was so excellent that Hao Ren was looking forward to the next two.
However, when Hao Ren opened the remaining two gift boxes, he was stunned.
Empty!
Completely empty!
Was something wrong?
Hao Ren was in a daze for a long time.
Did Su Muxue forget to put the gifts in the boxes?
That beautiful woman seemed quite intelligent; she shouldn't have made such a basic mistake, right?
Hao Ren pondered endlessly, unable to figure it out.
Finally, he began to consider whether he should let Little Dragon Girl go out to "tactfully" remind Su Muxue, "Hey, hey, beauty, you forgot to put the gifts in the boxes..."
Just then, a cool, domineering, and incredibly awesome voice echoed from Hao Ren's dantian.
"Stupid, brat, you are truly incorrigibly stupid!"
This voice...
Hao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was the voice of one of the Seventy-Two Chaos True Demons.
Recently, the Seventy-Two Chaos True Demons had revived, and Hao Ren had been too busy to curse them.
These fellows, unaware of their own doom, had actually come knocking on his door.
Hao Ren's eyes shot out a cold glint.
Curse Book, prepare to be deployed!
Sensing Hao Ren's killing intent, the Chaos True Demons grew anxious, especially the one who had just spoken.
"Hey, hey, hey, brat, don't you want to know the meaning behind that little beauty giving you empty gift boxes?"
Oh?
Hao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in his mind.
"You know?"
The Chaos True Demon smiled smugly and said in a world-weary tone.
"Brat, listen carefully, the little beauty giving you two empty gift boxes was intentional. She has a deeper meaning! Although these two boxes are empty, they already contain things. Guess what they are?"
Hao Ren: "I guess it's the Curse Book!"
Hao Ren sneered and took out the "Curse Book."
The Chaos True Demon's arrogance immediately diminished by a third.
"Aiyo, aiyo, kid, you're such a bore. You resort to the Curse Book at the drop of a hat. How uninteresting!"
Hao Ren: "Are you going to say it or not?"
Chaos True Demon: "Hey, kid, you're threatening me. Today, I'll... I'll just say it. What can you do about it!"
Using the most arrogant tone to speak the most "cowardly" words.
Chaos True Demons, truly "slimy" beings inherited from the Chaos.
Chaos True Demon: "Actually, it's very simple. The things placed in those two boxes are 'Heaven's First Water' and 'Divine Sense Pill,' respectively."
"Heaven's First Water"?
"Divine Sense Pill"?
Hao Ren frowned slightly.
He had already obtained these two items long ago. Did he still need Su Muxue to send them?
Hmm, that's not right!
Hao Ren's eyes blazed with brilliance as he realized what was happening.
Su Muxue was a formidable woman. Not only was she beautiful, but her intellect and methods were also top-notch.
Su Muxue had already guessed that "Heaven's First Water" and "Divine Sense Pill" had fallen into Hao Ren's hands. She didn't intend to get them back and decided to do him a favor by gifting these two treasures to Hao Ren.
Today, she sent two empty gift boxes, which meant she was telling Hao Ren that the "Medicine King's Manor" would no longer pursue the matter of "Heaven's First Water" and "Divine Sense Pill."
Subtle as a silent drizzle!
Graceful and diplomatic!
