Chapter 27: I'll be your subordinate (Third update)

  The day before Chu Hao and Lin Yue'er agreed upon.

  In the afternoon, the sun is soft. At this moment, the Cloud Empire is at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, with pleasant weather.

  The door of the storage room in the backyard of Weiyuan Wangfu's Lingyue Garden was finally opened.

  Chu Hao rubbed his eyes and walked out, stretching his waist and letting out a strange hum. Although he looked exhausted, the joy in his eyebrows and eyes was evident at first glance.

  Yes, Chu Hao is very happy now, extremely happy!

  Because in these four days, he tried to refine equipment and medicine, and the result was a richness that even Chen Honghong couldn't have imagined! He successfully refined one first-rate flying sword, one second-rate flying sword, as well as four "Red Beauty Pills" and five "Tiger Tendon Pellets".

  To know, aside from Chu Hao's most familiar alchemy equipment, he had only attempted to refine medicine for the second time and yet hadn't failed once, all of them were successful! Although the number of successes was still small, it was because the amount of materials put in was also relatively small, that's why it turned out this way.

  Chen Honghong estimated that Chu Hao's control over the fire and timing of adding materials during alchemy were extremely good. With his technique, combined with the assistance of Hunyuan Ding and Chen Honghong, the success rate of the elixir in the cauldron was thirty percent. This means that when Chu Hao put one hundred percent of the materials into the Hunyuan Ding, he would successfully harvest thirty percent of it!

  Don't underestimate this thirty percent survival rate, many alchemists, even sixth-grade human alchemists, can barely maintain a success rate of twenty-five or six percent, and that's still dependent on luck. Sometimes when they're unlucky, they'll directly become scrap metal.

  Those people were all seasoned alchemists, but Chu Hao was just a novice at refining elixirs. His current control over the fire was barely at the level of a first-rate human alchemist, not even reaching the height of a second-rate one, yet he could refine third-rate items!

  Have to say, this is a miracle.

  Of course, the probability of these successes is also inseparable from Hunyuan Ding. Chu Hao is clear about his own strength, and at present, refining a second-rate artifact is the limit, and third-rate elixirs are also the limit.

  Only after the equipment fire is thoroughly familiarized, and the equipment level has gone up, can the mixed yuan cauldron be used to refine more advanced things.

  In Chu Hao's heart, he had incredibly rich experience in refining equipment, and Chen Honghong had countless elixir formulas, so Chu Hao didn't need to worry about this at all.

  As for the artifacts he is currently refining, the first-grade ones are only small-scale array methods that can make the flying swords more durable than ordinary weapons, but they are not extraordinary. The second-grade artifacts, however, have some Qingling array methods added by Chu Hao, which can make the flying swords lighter and sharper, and if possessed by a natural-born master of sword control, can directly control the sword to kill enemies.

  The refined elixir was not something Chu Hao dared to comment on, but as for these two flying swords, Chu Hao dared to guarantee that they were absolutely better than those of the same rank by a lot. After all, he wasn't bragging, with the signboard of the former grandmaster of equipment refinement hanging there.

  "Chen Honghong, do you think taking a 'Tiger Tendon Pill' would have any effect?" Chu Hao was also somewhat knowledgeable about medicinal pills and often asked Chen Honghong for advice.

  "Of course it's useful, the Solid Elixir is no longer of much benefit to your body, but the 'Tiger Tendon Pill' can once again solidify your physique." Chen Honghong hummed: "The elixir formula I gave you, could it be inferior? I am the renowned spirit of the Hunyuan Ding!"

  "Alright, alright, I get it." Chu Hao had already developed immunity to Chen Honghong's boasting and quickly cut off contact with her. He then smiled coldly and said, "To the person who put a ban on my body and won't let me cultivate, I'll just use medicinal pills to pile up my internal energy! Let's see whose prohibition is more powerful, or if my medicinal pills are enough!"

  As he spoke, Chu Hao took out a symbol pen and wrote a few large characters on a piece of paper. He then slammed it to the ground, trampled on it several times, and finally laughed heartily as he walked back into the house.

  That talisman was trampled by Chu Hao, its surface completely ruined. A yellow leaf floated down and gently covered it, and faintly visible were the three crumpled words written on the talisman:

  Dog man and woman!

  The sword sheaths in the palace were not few, and the two flying swords forged by Chu Hao were about three feet long, with a width similar to that of normal long swords. They had been forged with the essence of the furnace fire and the spiritual energy of the Hunyuan Cauldron, giving them more spiritual energy and a crystal clear luster than ordinary weapons.

  After all, no matter how damaged the Hunyuan Ding is, it was at least a Tongling-level treasure in the past. The "golden liquid" that evolved from the Ding, as boasted by Chen Honghong, is even coveted by old monsters of the Yin-Yang period. So, even if Chu Hao's strength is not enough and his refining skills are not good, but as long as he has gone through the baptism of Hunyuan Ding, it will definitely not be an ordinary product again.

  Moreover, Chu Hao was originally a master-level artifact refiner!

  He put both of the law enforcement instruments into the box, and Chu Hao patted his hands, finally considering it a great success. Remembering that tomorrow was the day he had agreed with Lin Yue'er, he thought for a moment, then took out the bottle of "Tiger Tendon Pills" again, took one, and swallowed it.

  His current martial arts cultivation is at the fourth layer of the Bone Tempering stage, possessing strength equivalent to that of five horses.

  Chu Hao didn't know what level he would reach after taking this "Tiger Tendon Pill", after all, it was a third-grade human pill, and in terms of the alchemy technology of this world, it was absolutely priceless.

  And "Tiger Tendon Pill" did not disappoint him, after the medicine took effect, Chu Hao practiced a set of fist in the yard again, and was delighted to find that his cultivation had indeed improved!

  This time, one "Tiger Tendon Pill" allowed him to directly break through to Refining Bone Fifth Layer!

  Not only that, but there is still some medicinal efficacy left in the body. I believe that with just one or two more days of practice, breaking through to the sixth layer is not impossible. Because the young master's body was originally at the fifth layer of the Refining Skin stage, it was only restricted by someone when breaking through to the sixth layer. Now, with the stimulation of the medicinal efficacy, he can recover his cultivation and it's not unexpected either.

  However, in terms of increasing strength, it's not too obvious, and there is still a gap from the six-horsepower.

  Chu Hao thought for a moment and gave up the idea of eating another one, put it in the bottle, and lay down to rest.

  The next day, before the fifth watch, Lin Yue'er arrived at Chu Hao's courtyard door. Her maid, Xiao Die, naturally took on a loyal and protective attitude, blocking Lin Yue'er in front of her.

  Chu Hao also got up early, there were important things to do today, and he didn't have the habit of oversleeping. Walking out of the room, he saw Lin Yue'er timidly shifting her feet from time to time, but trying to put on a stern face, which made him somewhat amused.

  He naturally knew what was going on in Lin Yue'er's heart.

  Chu Hao revealed a smile, then tidied up his appearance and walked towards Lin Yue'er: "Yue'er, you're here so early? Are you thinking of me?" Then he looked at Xiao Die who was tense and asked: "Xiao Die, are you thinking of me?"

  The little loli completely ignored him, protecting Lin Yue'er, and said in a crisp tone: "Please pay attention to your manners, Young Master Wang." That made Chu Hao smile wryly.

  Lin Yue'er's eyes flashed with a complex expression, and she took a step back without leaving any trace. However, she felt that this would lose her momentum, so she stepped forward again. Staring at Chu Hao from close range, her face was indifferent, and she said coldly, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just here to fulfill my promise."

  As she spoke, she tossed her head and stopped looking at Chu Hao. A strand of black hair fell diagonally across her distant eyebrows, a different kind of beauty.

  Today, Lin Yue'er wore a pale yellow palace dress, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she was in her most beautiful time as a young girl, just like the morning dew, crystal clear and without delay. It seems that Lin Yue'er is indeed a stubborn master, with a strong temperament, and has really dressed up.

  The open collar, with a string of pearls hanging from her jade neck, shone brightly, but it was the snow-like skin that made it even more dazzling. The yellow palace dress had a very long skirt, but it couldn't hide Lin Yue'er's seductive waist and buttocks curve, Chu Hao's heart skipped a beat, he still wanted to tease her a few words, but thinking about today's task, if he provoked this lady, it would be bad for the deal. He shifted his gaze, staring at Xiao Die, saying: "Xiao Die, you go back first. I have something to discuss with your mistress."

  "What's going on!" Xiaodie stood in front of Lin Yue'er and insisted: "Young Master Wang, Xiaodie and Miss have never been apart!"

  When she saw Xiao Die, Chu Hao had an urge to roll up her sleeves. She approached Lin Yue'er and whispered something in her ear. At first, Lin Yue'er frowned and was about to take a step back, but after hearing what Chu Hao said, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and then she pulled Xiao Die over and said, "You go back to the east wing and wait for me."

  "Miss!......" Little Butterfly exclaimed in surprise.

  Lin Yue'er nodded firmly and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't have any trouble."

  "But..." The little loli wanted to say something else, but seeing her own miss's determined face, she could only pout and then glare at Chu Hao with a huff before reluctantly leaving.

  After Little Butterfly left, Lin Yue'er looked at Chu Hao again, and her eyes returned to indifference. "What did you mean by what you said just now?"

  Chu Hao leaned in close to her ear and said, "The condition of our bet is that you help me with something. Just for today, I'll be your subordinate, but you have to listen to my arrangements."

  Chu Hao smiled calmly and didn't immediately explain. He turned around and walked towards the house: "You'll know once you follow me inside."

  Lin Yue'er watched Chu Hao's back, her face changing unpredictably, then she stomped her foot fiercely and followed him.
