Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 384: Big Zhumu, Little Zhumu (2 in 1 Chapter)

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Hao Ren returned to the house from the dragon palace, and it was still the middle of the night.

Each room on both floors seemed to be quiet.

There were a lot of things on Hao Ren’s mind so that he couldn’t fall asleep.

“Ruff, Ruff…” Little White squeezed out of Zhen Congming’s room and hopped onto the couch like a fluffy ball.

Hao Ren put it on his legs and started to practice the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to recover.

Zhao Haoran used a bodily-filling technique, which was a very aggressive method. It had caused some damage to Hao Ren’s body.

Although he was still on Gen-level, his nature essence was no longer balanced amongst the five elements.

Even though it was the purest water-elemental essence, Hao Ren needed a few days to absorb and convert it.

The tiny sword energies of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll traveled slowly through Hao Ren’s meridians. They were like many little detectors that were looking for the damaged spots of Hao Ren’s meridians, and they repaired them with soft nature essence as soon as they found the places.

One centimeter above Hao Ren’s dragon core, there was a spiritual core that was spinning at a very high speed.

The spiritual core was only half a thumb big. However, it sucked in all the nearby small sword energies like a high-density black hole!

Zhao Haoran’s 1,000 years of cultivation strength was compressed and stored in this small spiritual core!

It hung above Hao Ren’s dragon core and established its own system.

It captured the nature essence that was passing by, and it would release the nature essence back into Hao Ren’s body from the center due to its extremely high density. The core had become a mysterious balancing vertex which couldn’t be detected by the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.

Hao Ren sent several sword energies there, but none of them came back to him, harming his spiritual senses. Therefore, he had to give it up.

Little White rolled over lazily on Hao Ren’s belly. As a level 1 spirit beast, its intelligence was even higher than before. It also got more intimate to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren’s dragon core landed steadily in his dantian, and it already had 123 openings on it. The dense spiritual core, on the other hand, was spinning quickly at where the Qihai acupoint was.

One of them was the dragon core of a dragon cultivator, and the other was the internal core of a human cultivator!

There were two systems inside Hao Ren’s body, and they didn’t interfere with each other at all!

Zhao Haoran didn’t even expect this to happen.

As a matter of fact, Zhao Haoran believed that Hao Ren was honest and sincere with no ill intention toward East Ocean. Therefore, he decided to transfer as much of his nature essence as possible into Hao Ren before his life was over. To his surprise, there was something special about Hao Ren’s body, and it allowed Hao Ren to collect all the 1,000 years of cultivation strength from Zhao Haoran. Although Hao Ren was still on Gen-level, he gathered a large amount of hidden energy and potential.

Zhao Haoran was able to pass down all of his 1,000 years of cultivation strength, and it left him no regret.

What Hao Ren didn’t know was that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili saved his cultivation progress with their natal spiritual lotuses, and the old Grandma, who was cultivating somewhere above Fifth Heaven, also helped out by pouring some natal vital energy into Hao Ren as well.

Hao Ren thought Zhao Haoran compressed the 1,000 years of cultivation strength on purpose and temporarily stored it inside his body. Therefore, what Hao Ren was thinking about was how to transfer it to Zhao Kuo when they met in the future.

The 1,000 years of cultivation strength stored inside Hao Ren’s body was Zhao Haoran’s top-tier Qian-level strength. Now, Hao Ren was walking around with an extremely precious treasure!

Hao Ren had an internal core which was equivalent to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm. This meant that he was absolutely the most powerful Core Formation Realm cultivator!

Time flew by, and Little White fell asleep curled up in Hao Ren’s lap.

Hao Ren tried to search for a new path to circulate his natures essences in his body, and he finally formed a new circulation path which bypassed the Qihai Acupoint which was above Dantian.

Creak!

A door opened.

Xie Yujia walked out of her room and saw Hao Ren cultivating on the couch. She ignored him and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Hao Ren saw her walking by right in front of him in her pajamas and didn’t know what she was upset about.

Little White hopped off Hao Ren’s legs and followed Xie Yujia; she smelled very refreshing.

“Gongzi!”

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili appeared cheerfully at the stairs and ran toward the couch.

Seeing that they were about to knock over the couch, Hao Ren reached out his hands to stop them.

Taking this opportunity, the Lu sisters threw their soft bodies into Hao Ren’s arms. Then, they grabbed onto his arms with both hands.

“Metal: 12, Wood: 15, Water: 36, Fire: 18, Earth: 19!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili reported the numbers in turn and looked at Hao Ren in surprise. “How come all your five-elemental essences are imbalanced after one night’s time, Gongzi?”

“I didn’t cultivate properly last night. I’ll make the adjustments gradually,” Hao Ren secretly put force into his arms and lightly push them up.

Xie Yujia was walking out of the kitchen at this moment, and she lightly snorted when she saw this scene.

“Big Zhumu, let us help you!” The twins ran toward Xie Yujia like two butterflies.

Xie Yujia couldn’t reject them, and it suddenly put her in a passive position.

“Are we going to Fifth Heaven today, Uncle?” Zhao Yanzi appeared on the stairs surprisingly early in her dotted pajamas.

Little White then dashed onto the stairs and climbed onto her arms and shoulders.

“Um, we’ll head out after breakfast,” Hao Ren said.

“Great! Great!” Zhao Yanzi nodded happily.

After getting the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll and the Purple Green Treasure Sword, she was more eager to cultivate and get stronger than before. Especially since they were going to Fifth Heaven where Zhao Guang couldn’t even keep an eye on her, her dream of traveling around the world with her longsword almost came true.

Xie Yujia also wanted to take care of the spiritual herbs at the Ethereal Peak.

Therefore, the five of them went to their gathering spot on Fifth Heaven as soon as the sun climbed into the sky.

Little White, the level 2 spirit beast, flew extremely fast with Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia on its back. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili flew on their own and kept close to Hao Ren to protect him. It only took them the time of having a meal to arrive on Fifth Heaven.

The Ethereal Peak appeared to be well arranged after Hao Ren and Xie Yujia’s tidying-up and cleaning. The herb gardens and creeks added some classic tone to the valley, which used to be very messy.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili opened their eyes wide to look at the valley; they fell in love with the atmosphere immediately.

Zhao Yanzi went straight to her cave abode. When she saw the Purple Green Treasure Sword still lying quietly on her stone bed, she was relieved and picked it up. Then, she ran to an empty area in the valley and started to practice the first chapter of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll – Tianshu.

Tianshu was the head star of the Big Dipper. It was steady and would build the foundation for future cultivation.

Zhao Yanzi just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. She loved this technique the second she got it, so she cultivated it diligently and carefully.

The sword techniques documented in the scroll all corresponded to nature essence absorption. The smoother she used the sword techniques, the better she would be able to circulate her nature essence.

The longsword shone a light green light in Zhao Yanzi’s hand, and Zhao Yanzi became happier and liked the sword even more since she felt like a master all over again.

Elixir making was Xie Yujia’s way of cultivation. Her technique was the Life-Death Notes that the old Grandma gave her, and all the changes resided in the gold and silver dharma notes. As long as she had sufficient nature essences, the two dharma notes would behave like parent notes and split into many small notes.

In the elixir making room, two layers of gold and silver dharma notes circled the elixir furnace. More than a dozen Foundation Establishment Pills were coming into form and twirling inside the furnace.

Xie Yujia came to the Ethereal Peak every weekend and made enough elixir pills that could last her the entire week.

She ate level 4 pills as if they were snacks. Even a Seventh Heaven Sect Master wouldn’t have such a preferential treatment!

Puff… Streaks of white steam came out of the elixir furnace through the lid, and it felt like a pot of porridge was boiling inside the stove.

Little White who was stretching its neck and spitting out demon fire, finally got a break.

The small silver dharma notes circled the lid and suddenly lifted it up.

Then, the small golden dharma notes entered the furnace and carried 16 steaming level 4 Foundation Establishment Pills perfectly into Xie Yujia’s palm.

The entire process of opening the lid and collecting the pills was smooth, and Xie Yujia looked like an experienced elixir master!

Her control of the flames and the temperature was perfect, and all the pills were level 4!

In addition, there was barely any residues in the elixir furnace. All the materials had been extracted into essences and turned into elixir pills! Xie Yujia calculated the proportion of the materials according to the formula precisely!

She smiled happily when she saw that all the pills were level 4. She took out a little bottle and put 15 elixir pills inside. Then, she threw the last one to Little White.

Little White caught the level 4 pill with its tongue, and a satisfied expression appeared on its face after it devoured it.

Xie Yujia was only a little satisfied with her result this time. She was glad that the materials weren’t wasted because she spent a lot of effort into planting them. However, she had no idea that her elixir making skill had already reached the grandmaster level!

This kind of success rate could make her the Head Elixir Elder of any sect on Six Heaven, even in the Sky Mountain Sect which specialized in elixir making.

Xie Yujia was indeed gifted in elixir making. Her attitude was actually quite simple; she treated elixir making like cooking!

In the cave abode next to hers, Hao Ren had completely circulated his nature essence according to the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll 36 times. Then, he took advantage of the little cloud rain array formation that Zhen Congming set up to complete his lightning cultivation.

Considering the capacity of his body, Hao Ren only performed lighting cultivation once per week, which was just as often as Xie Yujia practiced elixir making.

However, the purpose of this lightning cultivation wasn’t to create openings in his dragon core. Instead, he used it to strengthen his own realm in order to activate his meridian fully.

Shoo… a dash of sword energy shot out of Hao Ren’s cave.

One became two, two became four, four became eight, eight became 16 …each sword energy split into two with a slight shiver.

This was the power of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll!

Forming sword energy with nature essence and commanding the sword essences with spiritual senses.

Hao Ren instantly unleashed a powerful sword array formation.

The sword energies absorbed the nature essence in the valley and grew…

Splitting into millions of entities and each absorbing the power of heaven and earth! This cultivation method was incredibly similar to the cultivation method of Soul Formation Realm cultivators!

All 320 sword energies grew and combined into a short, colorful sword essence. Then, it shot back into Hao Ren’s cave abode.

Hao Ren raised his hands and completed his cultivation.

Hao Ren thought of this cultivation method while he was dizzy and falling asleep. He could absorb nature essence with his sword energies and then transferring it back into his body. It allowed him to increase his cultivation speed even more.

However, he could only train using this method in the safest place. Otherwise, it would be dangerous for him if the sword energies got chopped off halfway through his cultivation process. It would damage his foundation.

“It’s about time. Let’s head back!” Hao Ren felt refreshed, and he walked to the entrance of his cave abode and shouted.

“Hahaha…” Zhao Yanzi flew toward Hao Ren’s cave abode on her Purple Green Treasure Sword.

The first chapter in the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, Tianshu Sword Technique, contained an advanced sword-riding technique. Also, this longsword was a top-tier dharma treasure. Zhao Yanzi easily got the hang of this technique within half a day since she was quite talented.

The flying speed of this sword was nothing like the ordinary swords from before!

Satisfaction was written all over her face!

Xie Yujia walked out of her elixir making room and saw Zhao Yanzi flying freely in the sky. She was a little envious that.

Hao Ren flicked his finger, and a sword energy flew out and hit the tip of the longsword under Zhao Yanzi feet. Zhao Yanzi tripped and fell into the grass beneath her.

“Jerk!” Zhao Yanzi rubbed her butt and threw her treasure sword at Hao Ren.

The sword ripped through the air and pierced at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren was already at Gen-level, so he wouldn’t be scared of Zhao Yanzi who just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. He pinched the sword blade with two fingers.

Ding!

The sword blade made a sharp sound, and the quack made Hao Ren’s fingers hurt a little.

Gen-level was somewhere between top-tier Core Formation Realm and low-tier Nascent Soul Realm. He should have been able to defeat a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with just one finger. However, Zhao Yanzi was able to obtain such power within half a day by practicing this sword technique. That demonstrated how powerful this scroll was.

In other words, as long as Zhao Yanzi continued to practice this Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, other cultivators on the same realm wouldn’t have a chance to defeat her.

Hao Ren suddenly thought of that arrogant girl from the Sky Mountain Sect and understood where her pride came from. Since she had this technique, she wasn’t too afraid of other cultivators unless they were far more powerful than her.

“Come on. Let’s go back.” Hao Ren put the longsword into her cave abode and said.

“Humph!” Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose and climbed onto Little White’s back.

Xie Yujia laughed and hopped onto Little White’s back gently.

When the five of them returned to the house, they saw a light golden Buick parked outside. Someone was visiting while they were away.

“Go get some tea, Congming!”

Hao Ren heard Hao Zhonghua telling Zhen Congming that as he walked in.

“Where did you guys go early in the morning?” Grandma asked Hao Ren in a slight complaining tone.

“I took them and Little White out for a walk on the beach,” Hao Ren pointed at Little White.

Little White was only the size of a palm, and it was wagging its tail and looking at Grandma innocently.

“Your dad’s guest is here, and his daughter is Congming’s classmate!” Grandma said.

Hao Ren looked over Grandma’s shoulder and saw the guests, the mayor and his daughter!

“Hehe, your son is quite a handsome man!” Mayor Wu walked over with a teacup in his hand.

“Hello, Uncle,” Hao Ren greeted him after half a second of hesitation.

Xie Yujia was fast to react. She greeted by saying ‘Uncle’ right after Hao Ren.

Zhao Yanzi followed their example, and so did Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. They all said ‘Uncle’ in sweet voices.

The mayor looked at the beautiful girls beside Hao Ren and smiled. He nodded kindly without asking any questions. Then, he said to Hao Zhonghua, “Academician Hao and Academician Yue are our East Ocean City and our country’s treasures. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you!”

“It was a small accident, and it doesn’t deserve so much of your attention. This is your second time coming here and visiting us in person!” Hao Zhonghua laughed.

Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang encountered landslides on Friday night, and they almost got attacked by the hurricanes. This had worried the mayor, so he rushed over on Saturday morning to see if they were alright. However, Hao Ren’s family went on a trip, so the mayor made the trip in vain. Therefore, he drove over in person again.

He did this to express his sincerity as well as to calm the two scientists down.

The mayor also dragged along his little daughter, hoping to build a better relationship with these world-class scientists since his daughter went to the same school as Zhen Congming.

“My daughter, Luoxue, goes to the same school as Zhen Congming, so I brought her along today for them to hang out a little,” the mayor said.

“Definitely! Kids need to learn to get along with each other,” Hao Zhonghua said immediately.

Wu Luoxue stood beside her dad in her colorful dress, holding onto her dad’s hand. She didn’t say a single word.

She looked like a sculpture carved out of jade, and she was particularly pretty and cute even though she didn’t say anything.

“She’s so cute! She’s so pretty!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili bent their backs to ‘examined’ Wu Luoxue. They almost reached out and pinched her cute little pink cheeks.

Wu Luoxue looked at the two pretty, big sisters calmly; she didn’t have any reaction toward their compliments.

Zhen Congming handed out water and tea for all the adults in the living room in front of Wu Luoxue as if he was trying to earn the Tri-Merit Student Award.

“Go play with your schoolmate, Luoxue. You always read or practice the piano; you need to relax from time to time,” the mayor patted Wu Luoxue’s head softly.

“I have the most classic game, Heavenly Sword, and the graphic is amazing. I’ll show you!” Zhen Congming got excited and flipped out his game disc before pushing it into the console.

Wu Luoxue held the warm teacup in her hands and sat quietly on the couch facing the TV. She stared at Zhen Congming with her black, gem-like eyes as he was busy setting everything up.

“See, it’s like this…” Zhen Congming connected the machines and took out the controllers. He demonstrated for Wu Luoxue as he played.

Although he was very passionate, Wu Luoxue seemed to be cold and calm the entire time. She didn’t even say a word.

“It’s ok to play with your schoolmate sometime, Luoxue,” the mayor, who was in the middle of discussing East Ocean City’s scientific development strategy with Hao Zhonghua, turned around and said to his daughter.

Wu Luoxue slightly nodded at last and picked up a controller.

“I’ll teach you!” Zhen Congming moved over immediately to show her how to use the controller.

Wu Luoxue looked down at the controller and tried it out a few times.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia looked at them with tremendous interest. Zhen Congming was as passionate as fire while Wu Luoxue was as cold as ice.

“This is very difficult. I have been playing for a long time until I reached the fourth level. I’ll do it all over again with you!” Zhen Congming said enthusiastically.

Wu Luoxue nodded and held onto the controller clumsily. However, her character gradually started to move smoothly…

“I’m on the Sixth level,” she said quietly after half an hour.

Zhen Congming looked at her in surprise. He then shook his head and said, “This isn’t very fun. Let’s play Street Fighters! We can fight with each other!”

He slid in another disc and handed a controller to Wu Luoxue, leaving the other one for himself.

“I’m a master in this game!” Zhen Congming found the game guide in excitement and passed it to Wu Luoxue.

He said proudly, “I know about all the unique skills for all the characters in the game!”

Wu Luoxue read it for a minute and looked up at the screen before choosing a character.

Ready, Go!

Wu Luoxue’s fingers danced quickly on the controller as if she was playing the piano. She murmured, “Up, left, down, slight punch, down… hard kick…”

K.O!

Zhen Congming’s character fell onto the ground.

Wu Luoxue… won without taking any damage.

Hao Ren looked at Wu Luoxue and suddenly realized that this little girl was even more insane than Zhen Congming!
