For a period of time afterward, Hao Ren became immersed in his cultivation, unable to extricate himself!
The phrase "unable to extricate himself" felt peculiar!
Regardless, Hao Ren cultivated diligently and found it immensely satisfying!
His cultivation level surged.
He spent three days cultivating to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
He spent fifteen days cultivating to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
This speed was even more astonishing than Wang Tenglong's original progress.
Wang Tenglong was at the fifth level of Qi Refining at one year old.
By two years old, he had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining.
By three years old, he was in the early Foundation Establishment stage.
Hao Ren felt he could reach the great perfection of Qi Refining within a few months, many times faster than Wang Tenglong.
However, it was also normal. Wang Tenglong was an infant back then, cultivating instinctively without any cultivation techniques. Hao Ren, on the other hand, possessed the "Hao Ran Zheng Qi Jue" and "Qi Gathering Pills," supplemented by the "Nine Dragons Five Elements Array," so his cultivation speed should be faster than Wang Tenglong's.
Having transmigrated for so long, Hao Ren finally experienced the joy of being a "prodigy." This feeling was incredibly exhilarating.
He was immersed in his cultivation, unable to extricate himself!
Cultivate, cultivate, keep cultivating!
Hao Ren was originally a "cowardly cultivator," and now he was even more so, hiding in his mountain cave motionless.
During these days, Yun Zhenting visited Hao Ren a few times, but Hao Ren did not leave his cave to see him.
Yun Zhenting was filled with awe.
The "senior" was so diligent! Despite already being a Nascent Soul cultivator, he still cultivated so earnestly. Truly a role model for us cultivators! No, I must return and cultivate diligently as well.
Yun Zhenting placed seven-tenths of the spirit stones he had acquired at the entrance of the cave, then left with a heart full of "reverence."
Returning to the cave where the Yun family cultivators were located, Yun Zhenting roared.
"Everyone, come here at once! From today onward, I will enforce strict training. All of you will cultivate diligently, without any slackening!"
The Yun family cultivators.
o( (⊙﹏⊙) )o
What was the family head trying to do?
Soon, the Yun family cultivators realized that Yun Zhenting was not just spouting slogans; he was serious!
Yun Zhenting demanded that all Yun family cultivators, apart from three hours of sleep, dedicate all their time to cultivation.
What about drinking water, urinating, and defecating? Cultivators don't drink water, urinate, or defecate!
Hold it in!
All of you, hold it in and cultivate properly!
While cultivating, Hao Ren would sometimes check his "Friend Updates" and then he saw a series of messages.
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Tianlai" has fallen unconscious due to dehydration from prolonged cultivation.]
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Tiankong" has fallen unconscious due to lack of sleep from prolonged cultivation.]
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Tianzhong" has made progress in his cultivation due to diligent practice, breaking through a bottleneck and advancing to the eighth level of Qi Refining.]
...
Some rejoiced, while others despaired.
Apart from "Yun Tianzhong," whose strenuous cultivation yielded results, most other Yun family cultivators were suffering immensely.
Some had collapsed from dehydration, others from lack of sleep, and more dramatically, some had soiled themselves...
What a pungent piece of information!
Hao Ren frowned as he read.
Too tragic!
Hao Ren truly couldn't bear to read it. So... he stopped looking at the status updates of the Yun family cultivators and went to check Wang Tenglong's status updates instead.
Wang Tenglong, the "Innate Thunder Seed," a Golden Core great cultivator, truly lived up to his "protagonist's script." His experiences after leaving Hao Ren were nothing short of miraculous.
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" was attacked by a swarm of "Nine-Eyed Poison Spiders" and severely injured.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" was taken a fancy to by the "Nine-Eyed Poison Spider Queen," who wants to forcibly consummate with your friend "Wang Tenglong."]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" was fortunately rescued by a powerful cultivator and successfully escaped.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" has taken the "Nine-Eyed Poison Spider Queen" as a spirit pet.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" has returned to Nine Dragon Peak.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong," while taking a late-night stroll, coincidentally saw the Supreme Elder of Nine Dragon Peak, "Fey Hong Immortal," bathing in the Azure Lotus Pond, and was severely injured.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" is recovering from his injuries, and thanks to the meticulous care of his junior sister, "Qing Xue Immortal," his injuries are rapidly healing.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" has been confessed to by "Qing Xue Immortal."]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" was harassed by his spirit pet, the "Nine-Eyed Poison Spider Queen," in the middle of the night.]
[Ding! Your friend "Wang Tenglong" has been taken a fancy to by the Supreme Elder "Fey Hong Immortal" and entered her "Flying Dragon Cave" for closed-door cultivation.]
...
Holy crap!
Just holy crap!
Hao Ren.
o( (⊙﹏⊙) )o
Stunned!
Hao Ren read all of Wang Tenglong's status updates in one go and felt as if he were reading a wish-fulfillment cultivation novel.
Too exaggerated!
Too wish-fulfillment!
He encountered a pack of monsters on his way out, and was directly taken a fancy to by the monster queen.
Upon returning to the sect, he saw a beautiful elder bathing.
He was severely injured and had a junior sister to take care of him.
One love interest, two love interests, three love interests...
Holy crap!
A harem!
Hao Ren grumbled in his heart, "Wang Tenglong, you're openly building a harem, be careful of being banned from the entire internet. This is a crackdown period, multiple female leads are prohibited!"
〒▽〒
But, I'm still so envious.
I sincerely envy Wang Tenglong!
Hao Ren's heart became restless.
Speaking of which, he was now also an "Innate Thunder Seed," a genuine prodigy. Why not go down the mountain to train? Perhaps he could also meet a monster queen by turning left and have an indecent relationship with her, hehehe...
Ah, wait, that's not right!
As Hao Ren's heart burned with passion, seriously considering going down the mountain to train, his eyes suddenly widened, a sharp glint flashing within them.
Something is wrong!
I am a man who has resolved to be a "cowardly cultivator." How can I go down the mountain to train?
The outside world is exciting, but also very dangerous!
What if I die out there? It would be useless even if the fairies were beautiful!
I'm not going out, I'm definitely not going down the mountain!
Hao Ren dismissed the idea of going down the mountain.
At the same time, he secretly cursed the system in his heart.
"System, come out. You deliberately showed me Wang Tenglong's news to tempt me to go down the mountain, didn't you? Humph! You almost succeeded!"
[Ding! System friendly reminder, going down the mountain to train will help the host make more friends...]
"Stop talking. As a cowardly cultivator, it's impossible for me to go down the mountain, not in this lifetime! System, don't try to disrupt my Dao heart!"
Dao heart?
Your Dao heart is just "hiding on the mountain." What kind of crappy Dao heart is that!
[Ding! Ding-ding... Ding-ding-ding... Beep... Beep-beep... Beep...]
The system began to become increasingly agitated, its "ding-ding" sounds turning into "beep-beep" sounds, expressing its anger through exclamations.
After his daily confrontation with the system, Hao Ren felt refreshed, and his "Dao heart" became even more steadfast.
Cowardly!
Must be cowardly!
Hide on the mountain, never go down!
No one can disturb my Dao heart!
Oli Ge!
