"Senior, senior, are you home?"
Outside the cave.
Yun Zhenting, the Patriarch of the Yun Family, stood with a bow, his expression solemn and respectful.
Although he had "paid his respects to the senior" many times, he was still very nervous every time.
There was no way, the senior's aura was too powerful!
"What is it?"
Hao Ren lowered his voice, entering "Sage Mode."
However, his heart was blooming with joy.
He knew very well that Yun Zhenting was here to "deliver gifts."
As expected.
Yun Zhenting spoke cautiously.
"Senior, a few days ago, with your guidance and help, I found some spiritual spring eyes, one of which is a top-grade spiritual spring eye. I've brought it especially to give to you."
As he spoke, Yun Zhenting respectfully placed the "top-grade spiritual spring eye" at the entrance of the cave.
Hahaha, that's great!
Hao Ren was extremely excited, silently waving his arms to vent his inner joy.
His voice remained in "Sage Mode," as calm and indifferent as a still lake.
"Good."
And then... nothing more!
Yun Zhenting was stunned.
What did the senior mean by that?
Why didn't he even come out of the cave?
Oh oh oh, I understand, the senior doesn't think much of the "top-grade spiritual spring eye."
The senior is a "Nascent Soul Stage" grandmaster, and the "top-grade spiritual spring eye" is insignificant in his eyes.
Even though the senior didn't think much of the "top-grade spiritual spring eye," he still accepted the gift. Why? To protect my dignity!
Imagine, if the senior had shown any disdain and refused to accept my "top-grade spiritual spring eye" at all, how awkward and embarrassed I would have been!
The senior is so considerate and gentle!
The senior, you are too good!
Yun Zhenting was deeply "touched."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Yun Zhenting" has increased his favorability towards you by 1,000,000, current favorability: Five Stars (Life and Death Comrade)]
Hao Ren.
He inexplicably opened the door for his mother, and inexplicably arrived home!
What the heck!
Hao Ren truly couldn't understand Yun Zhenting's "thought process."
Yun Zhenting had given such a valuable gift, and Hao Ren had reacted so coldly, yet Yun Zhenting's "favorability" had soared.
It was too bizarre!
You wouldn't understand the world of "Deified"!
Hao Ren became even more afraid to leave the cave. Although he could maintain "Sage Mode" in his voice, he couldn't control the expression on his face, which was beaming with joy and excitement...
A "senior" with this kind of demeanor would be too disillusioning. Hao Ren didn't want Yun Zhenting to see it.
Yun Zhenting outside the cave continued.
"Senior, with your guidance and help, I also broke through a restriction. Our small spiritual vein has become a super giant spiritual stone mine, capable of producing millions of spiritual stones annually, and there are also fire spiritual stones of various grades... When the spiritual stones are mined, I will deliver them to you on time!"
"Good!"
Hao Ren continued in "Sage Mode," saying in a low, authoritative voice.
Fire spiritual stones are good things!
Hao Ren remembered that the Crimson Refining Cauldron, which Yun Zhenting had given him, contained a big secret that required 1,000 fire spiritual stones to unlock.
At this moment, Yun Zhenting bowed respectfully again.
"Senior, in three months, the Yun Family Immortal Mansion will hold an Immortal Gate Assembly. I wonder if you would be able to grace us with your presence?"
Yun Zhenting cautiously made his "final request" for the day.
Grace us with your presence at the "Immortal Gate Assembly"?
No, no, no!
Hao Ren's head almost fell off from shaking it.
Are you kidding me!
He wouldn't go to an "Immortal Gate Assembly" even if he were beaten to death!
In various cultivation novels, such "grand events" are the most dangerous.
Heroes gather, protagonists compete, one after another!
Showing off, slapstick, pretending to be weak to fool the strong... all sorts of "tropes" fly everywhere.
Hao Ren didn't want to be beaten up by the "protagonists"!
No, no, I won't go even if I'm beaten to death!
Hao Ren remained silent, not speaking for a long time.
Yun Zhenting's heart sank.
The senior is a "Nascent Soul Stage" grandmaster, of course he wouldn't attend such a low-level event as the "Immortal Gate Assembly"!
Inviting the senior to appear was simply an insult to the senior.
He said with great trepidation.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I know my request is too much. Please forgive my recklessness! I promise this is the last time, I will never dare to do it again!"
Yun Zhenting apologized incessantly.
Yun Zhenting's demeanor made Hao Ren feel a little embarrassed.
He always felt that this way was a bit unfair to old Yun!
"It's alright!"
Hao Ren said "lightly."
Yun Zhenting felt as if he had been granted a great pardon.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, senior! Thank you for your forgiveness, senior! Senior, I'll take my leave now!"
After speaking, Yun Zhenting hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Hao Ren called out to stop Yun Zhenting.
Yun Zhenting was surprised and delighted.
This was the first time.
This was the first time the senior had spoken to him proactively.
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
Hao Ren asked.
"Han Mo... is good!"
The senior is indeed the senior. His words carry so much weight. Even when praising someone, he doesn't just say three words consecutively. This is truly profound!
Yun Zhenting nodded repeatedly.
"Senior, I understand what you mean. I'll go and do it now!"
Saying this, Yun Zhenting left in a flurry, as if he were going to help Hao Ren accomplish something important.
Hao Ren
Stunned like a fruit under a stunned tree, stunned by the stunned tree, you and I under the stunned fruit!
He just wanted Yun Zhenting to take better care of Han Mo. Did Yun Zhenting misunderstand something again? Yun Zhenting's reaction was so inexplicable!
Hao Ren thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what Yun Zhenting had "understood."
Forget it, forget it, let's collect the gift first!
Hao Ren walked to the cave entrance and picked up the "top-grade spiritual spring eye."
[Item Name: Top-grade Spiritual Spring Eye]
[Grade: Fourth-grade Spiritual Vein]
[Item Description: A "Top-grade Spiritual Spring Eye" can continuously produce heaven and earth spiritual energy, transform the surrounding area, and increase the concentration of spiritual energy. It only takes a thousand years for a "Top-grade Spiritual Spring Eye" to transform a "barren land" into a "top-grade cave dwelling."]
[Item Evaluation: A cultivation "cheat," you deserve to have it!]
...
Hao Ren.
What the heck was the system's final "item evaluation"?
A cultivation "cheat"!
Uh... but thinking about it carefully, the system's words make a lot of sense!
A "top-grade spiritual spring eye" can increase spiritual energy concentration, turn a "barren land" into a "top-grade cave dwelling," allowing cultivators to reach the limit of their cultivation speed. Isn't that a "cheat"?
Awesome!
Holding the "top-grade spiritual spring eye," Hao Ren couldn't wait to return to the cave.
He placed the "top-grade spiritual spring eye" next to the "Heavenly Born Water."
The "top-grade spiritual spring eye" was bowl-shaped, with clear spring water in the center, rich in spiritual energy and containing inner spiritual light.
When the "top-grade spiritual spring eye" touched the ground, it immediately rooted itself, forming a bottomless deep hole in the ground, from which clear and sweet spring water gushed out continuously.
Gurgle!
Accompanied by the sound of flowing water, wisps of spiritual light-infused mist rose.
The heaven and earth spiritual energy, which was extremely dense, rushed towards him.
Hao Ren took a deep breath, and couldn't help but show an expression of intoxication.
His entire body felt comfortable and wonderful!
It was as if all the pores in his body had opened up!
In just this breath, without even cultivating, Hao Ren could clearly sense that his cultivation had increased by a tiny bit.
Amazing!
The "top-grade spiritual spring eye" truly lived up to its reputation as a cultivation "cheat," its effect was too powerful!
