Chapter 26 Compromise Second Update

  Brothers, brothers! Very powerful, indeed very powerful. After everyone's efforts, today this book has reached the 4th place in the category and 32nd place in the new book chart (dropped one spot!)

  At this point, Xiao Qi was so moved that she burst into tears and bowed deeply.

  But, brothers, our current situation is extremely urgent! Looking at the current new book rankings, it's embarrassing to say that we're stuck between Chrysanthemum and XX.

  Are we waiting to be destroyed or are we going to take up XX and bravely attack others?

  Red ticket, draw lots, click, we must stand up and fight!

  Today is Xiao Qī's third watch, let's fight together with everyone!

  "What are you doing?" Chu Hao put down his teacup, somewhat amused, and said: "Isn't it just a gamble? Why are you so scared? Am I a monster that can eat you up?"

  Chu Hao's words were like a cold sneer, Lin Yue'er suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled.

  She took a few deep breaths, composed herself, and then said coldly: "Since I've lost the bet, Young Master Wang, what conditions do you want? You set them, and Lin Yue'er will not frown!"

  A small butterfly beside him knelt down, pulling on Chu Hao's trousers, and begged: "Young Master Wang, Crown Prince, please spare my family's young lady, be magnanimous, please, I beg of you, please..."

  Originally thought that the young lady of their own family could win steadily, but unexpectedly, it was the young master who won over the young lady. Although Xiaodie couldn't understand, she was very sincere and feared that Chu Hao would make some unreasonable demands, and she would rather die than compromise her attitude to defend the young lady of her own family.

  Looking at the young girl in front of him, her eyes brimming with tears and pleading pitifully, Chu Hao felt a strange sense of guilt rising up within him. He hastily muttered to himself several times, "Three Pure Ones above, forgive me, forgive me," and regained his composure. Then, he looked at Xiao Die with a gloomy expression: "How could Little Wang say that I'm just a handsome guy with a elegant demeanor? Is it really that terrifying? They're treating me like a monster!"

  "Handsome guy?" Little Butterfly blinked her eyes repeatedly, with a remaining tear drop, and looked puzzled, "What's that?"

  "It's nothing." Chu Hao chuckled dryly.

  But Lin Yue'er helped Xiao Die up and said stubbornly, "Don't kneel down to him." Xiao Die struggled, saying, "Miss..." Seeing Miss's insistence, Xiao Die immediately turned her head and looked at Chu Hao with a pitiful expression.

  This gaze is quite lethal, and Chu Hao's face is somewhat stunned. Looking at Lin Yue'er still showing hostility towards him, he knows she has misunderstood, thinking that he is trying to get her again with all his might. It seems that one poem cannot change one's image after all, these things will take time to unfold, only then can she see his great and noble moral character.

  Chu Hao and Yan Dao said: "Alright. Little Butterfly, I won't let your young mistress do anything bad, mentally, I've always been a virgin, I'm very shy."

  "You... you shameless scoundrel!" Lin Yue'er's pretty face turned red as she continued to scold.

  "Hey......" Chu Hao had already made up his mind, and he said to Lin Yue'er: "My condition is very simple, five days later, dress up and come to my courtyard at the fifth watch!"

  Lin Yue'er did not expect Chu Hao to actually make such a request, and it was still made in broad daylight!

  But she, Lin Yue'er, also had her own principles and pride, even if she was unwilling a thousand times over, she would not lose faith with this despicable young master. Her face was calm and cold, her voice still carrying a hint of chill: "I will keep my promise."

  "Alright, it's settled then. Little Wang can expect you in five days." Chu Hao chuckled and continued, "I'll leave this poem as a memento for you. Little Wang takes his leave first!"

  As he spoke, he turned and walked away, carefree as can be.

  Watching Chu Hao's back disappear into the distance, Lin Yue'er gazed at the poem "Bei Fang You Jia Ren" on the desk, her heart filled with complex emotions that were hard to express. The sunlight poured down, casting a thin glow on the rice paper, which was especially dazzling at this moment.

  On the way back, Chu Hao called out to Chen Honghong, "Apart from 'Solid Dan', are there any other interesting formulas? Give me a few more that I can refine now."

  "What are you coming for?" Chen Honghong said bluntly: "You took three 'Solid Pills' and improved your cultivation by two stages, do you still want to take some kind of pill to rise to the sky in one step?"

  "It's not like I can ascend to heaven in one step, but I have my own uses." Chu Hao chuckled and continued, "Right, with four days' time, I should be able to succeed a few more times, shouldn't I?"

  "You're crazy!" Chen Honghong said in a bad tone: "You don't want to take these things out and sell them, do you?"

  "You think I'm stupid if I don't make money?" Chu Hao said: "Without money, how can I settle down? Money can move ghosts and gods, haven't you heard that phrase?"

  "Laozi won't argue with you, do whatever you want. But the materials for repairing the Hunyuan Ding, handle it yourself." Chen Honghong sent out a divine thought, and instantly several formula documents floated into Chu Hao's mind.

  "Hey, it's still you being kind, I need to save my life first, then I'll have time to help you find materials, right?" Chu Hao laughed.

  The little four in the yard had been waiting, and the materials for refining the law instrument were all ready. After hearing Xiaosi's report, Chu Hao thought about the remaining monthly allowance, which was not much. He recalled the materials of several Dan medicine formulas he had just thought of, chose two of them, and asked Xiaosi to go get those materials back.

  To be honest, regarding Chu Hao's recent abnormal expressions, Xiao Si found it a bit strange. However, it was rare to see Young Master Wang not going out to indulge in pleasures, but instead being as diligent as he was a long time ago, which made him slightly unaccustomed.

  But after listening to Chu Hao's order, he still went down.

  "In that case, I still have five taels left for the month. If this doesn't work out, without those two dogs lifting a finger, I'll be bankrupt first." Chu Hao calculated in his heart, he prepared two formulas for Xiao Si: one was "Hongyan Dan", a third-grade human rank elixir that maintained youth, and the other was "Hujin Wan", also a third-grade human rank elixir that enhanced physical strength, with an effect better than "Guti Dan".

  Chu Hao was at least a personal tenth-grade master-level artifact refiner in his past life, although he had always yearned for cultivation in his heart, but in his own profession, there were very few people who could match him.

  And he once again grasped the Zi Long Huo, and with the Hun Yuan Ding, such a heaven-defying object existed, no matter what was refined, it would be twice as effective. Even if his current cultivation was only at the second-grade personal level, he could still produce items below fifth-grade!

  Even the success rate can be maximized!

  For example, other fifth-grade equipment refiners want to refine fourth-grade artifacts, which are extremely difficult, with a success rate of less than 30%! But Chu Hao only needs to bring his fire control ability to the fourth grade, and with the help of Zilong Fire and Hunyuan Ding, he can have a probability of 70-80% to make fifth-grade artifacts!

  Moreover, Chu Hao's body still had the temporarily unusable Lihuo Fire!

  Lethal Flame, it's an equipment fire that surpasses Purple Dragon Fire in both firepower and continuous firing speed!

  Chu Hao took the fine steel and inkstone to the storage room in the backyard. For now, he could only choose to refine his equipment here, and once his abilities were sufficient, he would be able to refine a Su Mei Xiang Zi's treasure device, so he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.

  After advancing to the fourth layer of Bone Tempering, Chu Hao possessed the strength of five horses, and his spirit was also much better than before. Now, holding this large piece of refined iron, he didn't feel any strain at all. These materials were relatively simple: refined steel, ink crystal stone, and a symbol pen for recording arrays. What Chu Hao was currently refining was a flying sword, a first to second-grade artifact.

  Flying Sword, this magical instrument is the first model for many alchemists to refine, because its attack form is single, the formation method is easier to engrave, and it's light, so it's the entry-level magical instrument for alchemists.

  Having reached the Innate Boundary, cleansed of the mundane impurities, and having opened the Heavenly Gate, a cultivator with a flying sword in hand is sufficient to kill with a single slash. If possessing profound incantations, even during the Qi Refining stage, one can already wield the flying sword to soar through the heavens.

  No matter what you do, it's often the simplest things that are the hardest to do well.

  So for now, Chu Hao's task is to refine this flying sword artifact and make it surpass the same level! As for its quality reaching first-rate or second-rate, it can only be left to fate and see how one's luck is.

  At this moment, he absolutely cannot fail, because there is no time for him to waste, what he has to do is make a shocking move.

  With so many thoughts in mind, Chu Hao took out the Hunyuan Ding and started refining it with a clear mind.
