Qin Hao and Dong ngqi returned to their room, where they dual cultivated throughout the night.
Early the next morning, Qin Hao and Dong ngqi erged from their room, and shortly after, Ye Lingyi, Xian Yin, and Ling’er also ca out.
Qin Hao took out a few Enlightennt Fruits and said, "These are Enlightennt Fruits. When you find a suitable place in the secret realm of Heaven and Earth, consu them to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth."
The girls, already accustod to his thods, accepted the Enlightennt Fruits without much surprise.
Ling’er suggested, "Master, Lingyi Sis, yesterday while wandering around the academy, I saw so beautiful flowers blooming on the mountain at the back. Shall we go take a look?"
Having nothing else to do, Qin Hao and the others nodded in agreent, then got up and left Hidden Dragon Hall.
They walked across the stone bridge from the peak of Hidden Dragon Peak toward the adjacent mountain. Next to Hidden Dragon Peak was Xuanling Peak, which also had a palace on its summit, currently occupied by the Han Family’s Han Haolin.
As they passed by, they coincidentally saw Han Haolin being escorted out by a group of people.
Han Haolin spotted Qin Hao and his companions, maintaining a calm deanor, though his entourage displayed varied expressions upon seeing Qin Hao.
Currently, Qin Hao’s reputation had spread far and wide, with many regarding him as a top prodigy of the younger generation, boasting terrifying combat prowess. He had risen to the sa status as Han Haolin, Wang Teng, and others.
Qin Hao and his group traversed several peaks before finally stopping at a summit. The mountain Ling’er ntioned was right across from them.
The opposite peak was a symphony of birds and blossoms, with various rare spirit flowers in full bloom. It was breathtaking, leaving a profound visual impact.
Upon seeing this, the eyes of the three won, Xian Yin included, montarily widened: "How beautiful."
Many people were already here, enjoying the view of the myriad flowers blooming, each finding their own spot to appreciate the scene on the opposite mountain.
Qin Hao and his group sat in a pavilion, savoring this rare mont of tranquility and serenity.
Soon, Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya arrived together, accompanied by many n and won. These individuals, from smaller factions, gathered around Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya hoping to attract their favor.
Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya approached the pavilion where Qin Hao and his companions were.
"Mr. Qin, are you here to enjoy the flowers too?" Nangong Yuya asked with a smile.
Qin Hao: "With the entrance to the secret realm of Heaven and Earth tomorrow, it’s good to relax today and adjust our state."
Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya sat down beside them, leaving their followers standing, as there were neither enough seats nor the privilege to sit.
As they conversed, Han Haolin and his entourage also arrived. The myriad blossoms at Heaven and Earth Academy were a rare sight and one of the academy’s remarkable views.
Han Haolin saw Nangong Yuya with Qin Hao, his face turned sour. If not for Qin Hao’s sudden appearance, Nangong Yuya might have beco his woman.
Now, seeing his own woman laughing and chatting with soone else riled his heart with anger.
But Qin Hao’s strength was formidable, and even Han Haolin didn’t have the confidence to win against him—Qin Hao was an anomaly.
The group spent the entire day enjoying the flowers before returning to Hidden Dragon Hall at night.
Lan Manshuang and Nangong Yuya each returned to their respective palaces on the way back, needing to prepare for the secret realm of Heaven and Earth the next day.
At night, just as Qin Hao was about to rest, he received a telepathic ssage from Zhou Danqing.
Understanding Zhou Danqing’s intent, Qin Hao went to her palace, aware that his junior niece needed so guidance.
Entering Danqing Palace without knocking, he found Zhou Danqing sitting inside, holding a Pill Furnace. She had attempted to concoct a ditation Elixir but failed.
The ditation Elixir, known as the Small Enlightennt Elixir, was a high-grade pill she intended to use upon entering the secret realm the next day. Unfortunately, she failed, depleting the herbs she’d painstakingly collected over half a year.
To try crafting another ditation Elixir would require a lengthy period to gather herbs, so of which were rare and not easily obtained. Reflecting on this left her feeling dispirited.
Seeing her staring blankly at the Pill Furnace, Qin Hao smiled and said, "Junior niece, what’s wrong? You seem down. Did you summon your uncle here for comfort?"
Not in the mood for jokes, Zhou Danqing looked at him seriously. "What will it take for you to give a Transcendent Elixir? If you don’t intend to, let give up hope!"
A faint smile on his lips, Qin Hao sat beside Zhou Danqing, glancing at the dregs inside the Pill Furnace.
He glanced at them and remarked, "Failed to concoct the ditation Elixir?"
Zhou Danqing was shocked, "How did you know I was making a ditation Elixir?"
Qin Hao chuckled, "Alchemy isn’t exclusive to you. It’s just a ditation Elixir, not much help even if successfully made, and far inferior to an Enlightennt Elixir."
Zhou Danqing looked at him speechlessly, "Though the ditation Elixir is much less effective than an Enlightennt Elixir, it’s better than nothing. Besides, an Enlightennt Elixir is a top-grade Spirit Pill, unavailable on the market, with ingredients that take over a decade to gather and a high chance of failure in crafting. Obtaining one is remarkably difficult—it’s more precious than a Transcendent Elixir!"
Qin Hao, in a casual tone, remarked, "Difficult? I happen to have a few!"
He then revealed several top-grade Enlightennt Elixirs, dense with pill patterns and exuding an ancient fragrance.
Zhou Danqing, seeing the three Enlightennt Elixirs in his hand, was stunned, "Top-grade Enlightennt Elixirs??"
Qin Hao put them away, smiling, "You have a keen eye, recognizing them at a glance, Danqing."
This ti, Zhou Danqing was genuinely shocked. Transcendent Elixirs, millennium spirit fruits, Small Breaking Wall Elixirs, and now top-grade Enlightennt Elixirs—how many treasures did Qin Hao possess?
Not to ntion others, Zhou Danqing herself felt an impulse to rob Qin Hao—this was unbelievably rich.
Qin Hao used such thods to systematically break down Zhou Danqing’s psychological defenses, making her aware of the disparity, so that when facing him, she naturally felt inferior.
"Where did you get so many things? Was it given by Eighth Master Ancestor?" Zhou Danqing asked.
Qin Hao: "That stingy old man would give things? He almost didn’t return my Binding Immortal Rope when he took it."
Zhou Danqing, puzzled, asked, "Then where did you get these things?"
Qin Hao: "The effect of an Enlightennt Elixir should be known to you, my junior niece. In terms of rarity, it’s even more scarce than a Transcendent Elixir. While the Transcendent Elixir allows one to directly breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm, the Enlightennt Elixir makes it much easier to comprehend myriad great paths, particularly beneficial for cultivators at high realms. High-realm cultivators dream of obtaining an Enlightennt Elixir."
Zhou Danqing knew Qin Hao spoke the truth. A Transcendent Elixir was only useful for Extre Realm cultivators, but ultimately useless for those above the Transcendent Realm.
Yet, the Enlightennt Elixir could be used by cultivators in the Transcendent Realm, Mahayana Realm, Void-breaking Realm, or even Supre Realm to great benefit, sothing a Transcendent Elixir couldn’t compare to.
The Enlightennt Elixir could potentially double one’s combat prowess or yield no results, though the latter was rare.
Qin Hao, with a gentle laugh, said, "Danqing, I plan to give you an Enlightennt Elixir since I have a few extras, but my leg, back, and shoulder feel so sore, I can barely lift my hand."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Danqing was seething inside. If he wanted to give it, just give it. If not, then don’t—what was he implying?
"Serving your uncle is the duty of a junior niece, but your uncle doesn’t want to trouble you without reason. I’ll surely reward you with an Enlightennt Elixir later." Qin Hao said again.
Zhou Danqing wanted to refuse, but the allure of the Enlightennt Elixir was too overwhelming. After a ntal struggle, she couldn’t resist the temptation any longer.
