[Ding! Congratulations to the host, for the first time a friend has reached a three-star favorability, the system has automatically enabled a brand new function, "Friend Updates."]
New function?
Hao Ren opened the system's main page in his mind and found a long scrolling subtitle in the lower left corner. He opened it and read it carefully.
[Ding! Your friend "Little Spirit Monkey King" has captured a tiger and forcibly took its nuts!]
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Tianzhong" is cultivating.]
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Tiankong" has finished cultivating and is peeing.]
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Zhaozhao" is making a sachet for your friend "Little Monkey King."]
[Ding! Your friend "Yun Zhenting" is on his way to deliver a gift to you...]
...
Through the continuously scrolling subtitles, Hao Ren felt as if he were watching a live broadcast, able to "see" what all his friends were doing.
This experience was novel and extremely interesting, greatly satisfying Hao Ren's "peeping desire."
Heh heh.
That monkey is too much, always taking nuts again. It has become the nightmare of all male creatures in this mountain forest, the "Nut Terminator"!
Yun Zhaozhao is a bit much too. Hao Ren was just watching the subtitle broadcast and was force-fed dog food by her. Making a sachet for the monkey, is that too sweet!
What made Hao Ren most satisfied was Yun Zhenting. As expected of the clan head, Yun, he delivers gifts at the slightest provocation, hehe...
Not long after, Yun Zhenting appeared outside the cave.
"Senior!"
He called out cautiously.
Hao Ren was already very familiar with how to communicate with Yun Zhenting and how to pretend to be a "senior expert."
Hao Ren lowered his voice and said with authority.
"What is it?"
Gulp!
Yun Zhenting couldn't help but swallow, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The senior's aura is still so strong, full of oppressive pressure.
Yun Zhenting asked cautiously.
"Senior, I had an epiphany while cultivating just now. I wanted to know if you were secretly helping me?"
Hao Ren: "Heh heh."
As an honest person, a person who has transcended vulgar interests, Hao Ren would never lie.
So, he gave a "heh heh" and let Yun Zhenting figure it out himself.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenting's whole body trembled, and his eyes shot out with a burst of surprised joy.
"It really is so, it really is the senior secretly helping me. Cough cough, I understand, I understand, senior cannot say it directly. The heavenly way is watching from the shadows, and helping others to have an epiphany violates the heavenly way! Senior, rest assured, I will definitely not go out and talk nonsense!"
Hao Ren.
(〃＇▽＇〃)
Everyone saw it. I didn't say anything, didn't do anything. This guy "enlightened himself" with his own "divine deduction brain." It has nothing to do with me!
Damn it, "heavenly way" is even mentioned. Clan head Yun, your imagination is wasted if you don't write novels!
Yun Zhenting was agitated and could not calm himself. He bowed deeply in the direction of the cave.
"Senior, thank you for your cultivation. I have nothing to repay you with! My Yun family is best at refining Qi Gathering Pills. Such low-level pills are definitely useless to you, so I won't give you Qi Gathering Pills..."
What the!
No!
Hao Ren almost jumped up anxiously.
I want "Qi Gathering Pills," as many as you have!
Hao Ren has a "Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root" with terrible aptitude. He relies entirely on "Qi Gathering Pills" to cultivate.
He currently only has one way to obtain "Qi Gathering Pills": trading with Yun Zhaozhao. For every upgrade, he gets two bottles of "Monkey Spirit Wine" and obtains 8 "Qi Gathering Pills."
This method is too slow. If Yun Zhenting were to send gifts, he would at least send hundreds or thousands of "Qi Gathering Pills."
Hao Ren wished he could rush out immediately, grab Yun Zhenting by the shoulders, and demand "Qi Gathering Pills."
Give it to me!
Give it to me!
Quick, give it to me!
But Yun Zhenting didn't know. He thought that Hao Ren upgrading "Monkey Spirit Wine" was purely to take care of the Yun family and he didn't care about "Qi Gathering Pills."
Yun Zhenting continued.
"Senior, after much thought, I have finally thought of a not bad gift. Our Yun family's ancestor once entered a blessed land by chance and found the Crimson Refining Cauldron and an ancient elixir formula. Besides that, he also obtained a Youth Preserving Pill. I will give the Youth Preserving Pill to you!"
Saying that, Yun Zhenting carefully took out an exquisite jade bottle from his embrace, placed it at the entrance of the cave, bowed again, and then turned to leave.
After confirming that Yun Zhenting had gone far, Hao Ren came out of the cave and picked up the jade bottle on the ground.
Opening the jade bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance emanated.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, for obtaining one "Youth Preserving Pill."]
[Pill Name: Youth Preserving Pill]
[Detailed Description: After taking it, one can remain eternally young and their appearance will never age.]
Hao Ren pouted. This kind of pill was very gimmicky. Apart from keeping one's appearance young, it had no other use.
It might be very attractive to female cultivators, but for Hao Ren, hehe...
He, a dignified man, standing tall and straight, why would he care about his appearance!
Hao Ren raised his hand and threw the "Youth Preserving Pill" into his mouth.
The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth and quickly integrated into his body.
Hmm, it tastes pretty good!
Hao Ren smacked his lips with satisfaction.
Don't misunderstand. This is not for beauty or skincare. What man cares about appearance? He just wanted to taste the "Youth Preserving Pill."
Yes, that's right, that's it!
After taking the "Youth Preserving Pill," Hao Ren was in a very cheerful mood and had been smiling for the past few days.
When the Little Monkey King came to do business, it was so scared that it retreated with a "ji ji" cry.
Human, why are you smiling so pervertedly? Don't scare the monkey!
"Heh heh, scram, monkey, heh heh..."
Little Monkey King.
(￣ェ￣；)
Did the human take the wrong medicine!
"Heh heh, monkey, bring me the Monkey Wine and Qi Gathering Pills!"
Hao Ren's face was full of smiles, a spring breeze, and collagen...
Little Monkey King.
(￣ェ￣；)
The human must have taken the wrong medicine!
The Little Monkey King cautiously handed the "Monkey Wine" and "Qi Gathering Pills" to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was familiar with the process. He put the "Qi Gathering Pills" into the "Monkey Wine" and performed the "Spiritual Opening Incantation." Soon, the "Qi Gathering Pills" dissolved in the liquid, and a wine aroma containing pure spiritual energy permeated the air. The "Monkey Wine" was upgraded to "Monkey Spirit Wine."
After doing all this, Hao Ren was about to hand the "Monkey Spirit Wine" to the Little Monkey King when suddenly, a sound of admiration echoed from not far away.
"Good wine, what good wine!"
Who is it?
Hao Ren's eyes narrowed, his muscles instantly tensed, and his entire body became as taut as a bowstring.
As a qualified "hidden cultivator," Hao Ren always acted with extreme caution and never put himself at risk of exposure. Before leaving the cave, Hao Ren would specifically use the "Scan Nearby People" function to ensure that there were no cultivators within a thousand-meter radius.
Before leaving the cave just now, Hao Ren had specifically used the "Scan Nearby People" function and found no cultivators in the vicinity.
So, how did this guy appear?
