Chapter Fifty-Four: The Appearance of Repair Materials

  Chu Hao took a deep breath and said, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect the Cloud Sky Empire to have such a history."

  "Yes." Hu Dong also nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively asked: "Does your manor have any connection with the Purple Cloud Sect?"

  Chu Hao suddenly emitted a strong aura and looked at Hu Dong, saying calmly: "Why did you ask this question, Director Hu?"

  Hu Dong was startled, his back sweating coldly. He knew he had misspoken and hastily stood up from the chair, saying: "Senior, junior just spoke casually, please calm down, calm down."

  Chu Hao hastily withdrew his aura and said calmly, "What's wrong with Hu Guanshi, I was just asking casually." It's worth noting that Chen Honghong's scattered spiritual energy is maintained by the golden liquid, having seen the preciousness of the golden liquid, how could Chu Hao release it casually.

  Hu Dong heard this and smiled awkwardly, which eased the embarrassment.

  Chu Hao got some information about the Purple Cloud Gate from Hu Dong, which was not much but better than before. If he didn't know what kind of force the opponent was, it would be extremely difficult to grope in the dark. Now, he roughly understood.

  Chu Hao suddenly remembered that since Tao Ranju was the largest auction house on the mainland, the materials for repairing the Hunyuan Tripod should have been heard of. Reading to this point, Chu Hao spoke up: "Hu Guanshi, I have an unreasonable request."

  "Elder doesn't need to be polite, just say it, as long as I have the ability, I will not decline." Hu Dong patted his chest and guaranteed.

  Chu Hao said: "I am currently refining a piece of equipment in my villa, and I need some materials. Please ask Hu to bring pen and paper, I will write it down on the paper, and see if you have these materials."

  Hu Dong thought to himself, "You're already a foundation-building cultivator, can't you just write in mid-air with your mind? Why bother with brush and ink?" But then he remembered that these people who possessed spiritual powers all had their quirks, and one wrong move would make them fly into a rage. So he didn't think about it anymore, and prepared the brush and ink, placing them on the table.

  Chu Hao asked Chen Honghong in his mind, and then wrote down on paper the materials that Chen Honghong thought were relatively ordinary. Chu Hao's handwriting was still okay, but he tried to let Chen Honghong control it, writing with a bit of vigor.

  But if he had to stretch out his hand to hold the pen, it would be easy for Hu Dong to discover that his fingers were smooth and delicate, not like those of an old man. So when writing, he wrapped his clothes around him, brush, brush, brush, and wrote down eight materials.

  These eight materials are: Blind Water Grass, Three-Stage Yao Beast's Inner Elixir, Purple Mist Dew, Ghost Face Mushroom, Lion Hunting Dan, Black Crystal Ore, Moon Orchid Petals, and Heavenly Fire Golden Drill.

  He picked up the paper and took a look, and Hu Dong's face immediately showed a look of surprise, followed by a frown, somewhat suspiciously saying: "Senior, the materials you wrote down are really strange. It actually requires three-stage demon beast inner dan, which can only be killed by innate cultivators, it's hard to come by. Tsk tsk. What kind of artifact is being refined that requires such precious things?"

  Chu Hao did not answer him immediately, but instead said faintly: "I don't know if Hu Guanshi has seen these materials or if Tao Ranju has any stock of these materials. I am willing to buy them at a high price."

  Actually, Chu Hao didn't have much hope either. After all, in this backward Jiu Tian world, it was extremely difficult to find the materials needed to repair the Hunyuan Cauldron, so now he was just trying his luck.

  Unexpectedly, Hu Dong's next sentence made him feel a surge of joy. He heard Hu Dong say: "The materials listed by the senior, I haven't seen most of them before, but this black crystal ore, although Tao Ranju doesn't have it, I know who does."

  Chu Hao ignored Chen Honghong's loud shouting in his mind and controlled his tone, saying calmly: "Oh? So, Hu Guanshi knows the whereabouts of the Black Crystal Ore?"

  Hudong smiled and said, "As a junior, I'm not a craftsman, so I don't know much about these materials. However, the black crystal ore appeared at an auction at Taoranju three months ago, about two inches in size. But it was bought by someone."

  "Who is it?" Chu Hao asked again.

  "It was Wu Lang, the imperial craftsman who had an appointment with Sword Old Senior." Hu Dong said slowly.

  As he walked out of the Tao Ran residence, Chu Hao's heart was stirred up. Among the materials for repairing the Hunyuan Ding, there was now a clear direction, but unexpectedly, it belonged to that renowned craftsman from the Yun Tian Empire.

  I just don't know if he actually used it or not.

  It seems that for whatever reason, Chu Hao has to meet with the craftsman Wu Lang. Before leaving, Chu Hao asked Hu Dong to inform Wu Lang that they would meet at Youxia Hall in Yuzhu Mountain five days later.

  "Chen Honghong, the Black Crystal Ore is ready, we're one step closer to repairing the Hunyuan Cauldron." Chu Hao was more cautious this time, making seven or eight turns on the street and changing his clothes before heading towards the Wang Manor. Along the way, he asked a question.

  "Hei Jing mine stone, if it can be obtained, must also have the inner dan of a third-level demon beast and the Yan Shui Cao. These three materials combined can barely repair the Hunyuan Cauldron to its original rank. Don't be careless, this is only the first step." Chen Honghong sighed: "However, if the first step can be repaired, the Hunyuan Cauldron should also be able to recover to a seven-grade artifact. At that time, the speed of gold liquid production should be slightly faster than now."

  Chu Hao nodded slightly and didn't respond, at this moment his heart was filled with anticipation for Wu Lang.

  "That Master Zong, still a name that scares people." Chu Hao thought to himself, then walked into the courtyard, rested for a while, and instructed Xiao Si to prepare food. Afterwards, he went to the martial arts training ground to take a look at Liu Li and others.

  After taking the Solid Dan, Liu Li's cultivation had been greatly supplemented. With a load of sixty kilograms on his back, he looked like he didn't have any discomfort at all, and was cultivating steadily.

  Chu Hao stood by silently, watching for a while, and found that the fist method and gong method used by Liu Li and others were plain and unremarkable, should be the system cultivated in the military, one board at a time, often one move to kill, in actual combat, the lethality should not be bad.

  He nodded, and Chu Hao was relatively satisfied with this military-style boxing. After all, under the Xiantian, any fancy boxing technique seemed impractical to him, so he also gave up his previous training in boxing techniques. Now, he only uses basic and straightforward boxing techniques.

  Several people were carrying heavy loads, and it seemed that the medicinal effect of Gutai Dan had almost dissipated. Chu Hao clapped his hands, and Liu Li and others came to their senses at this time, hastily putting down what they were doing, and rushed towards Chu Hao with sweat all over their bodies.

  "Your Highness." Liu Li and others said.

  "No need for formalities." Chu Hao smiled and looked at the nine people, saying: "It seems that you have all been training very hard."

  Liu Li lowered his head and said solemnly: "If I don't meet your expectations for one day, then I won't dare to call myself diligent for that day!"

  "Well said!" Chu Hao was very satisfied with this group of men, and then waved his hand, saying: "In another half an hour, come to Lingyue Garden, you can have dinner."

  Liu Li and others looked at each other, "Thank you, Your Highness!" They responded in unison, then rushed to the center of the field, sat down on the ground, and meditated.

  Chu Hao secretly admired him, but after some thought, he realized that now was not the time for him to focus solely on cultivation. After all, his meditation and internal energy circulation were completely ineffective due to the seal on his body. He had a good foundation, but could only rely on elixirs to supplement it.

  Shaking his head, Chu Hao returned to his own courtyard and sat in a chair for a while. Xiao Si happened to come back at this time. Chu Hao stared at Xiao Si, seeing him standing respectfully by the side, before speaking: "Xiao Si, do you think that Little Wang's behavior has been a bit strange recently?"

  Xiao Si revealed a silly smile, rubbed his head and said: "I dare not comment on Young Master Wang."

  Chu Hao's eyes widened, and he said, "Xiao Si, you're being too polite. Xiao Wang grew up with you, when did I ever treat you like a servant? This kind of talk is not pleasant for Xiao Wang to hear!" In fact, the young master had never treated Xiao Si as a servant before, but rather after crossing over, he still carried the family style of the Zongmen Master's household, often letting Xiao Si do this and that.

  Three Pures are above, all living beings are equal, ashamed, ashamed!

  Xiao Si heard this, but hastily knelt down on the ground in a flustered and terrified manner, saying: "Young Master Wang, just now this slave's words were unintentional. If they have angered Your Highness, please rebuke this slave."

  Chu Hao smiled lightly and helped Xiao Si up, pointing to a table beside the dining hall and said, "Sit down and talk."

  Xiao Si sat down on the chair with a slightly red face, but his back still had a tendency to lean forward. Chu Hao didn't point it out and continued to ask: "Xiao Si, tell me, recently Xiao Wang asked you to buy those things, do you have any doubts?"

  "It's indeed like that." Seeing Chu Hao's calm demeanor, Xiao Si also plucked up the courage to continue: "Several times I wanted to ask Your Highness what you plan to do, but I was afraid of disrupting your thoughts, so I didn't speak up."

  "Then speak your mind, what do you think?" Chu Hao also wanted to hear the opinion of this personal attendant who had been following the young master for a long time. After all, he had only crossed over into this world for less than a month, and if there were any places where the young master's previous behavior didn't match up, it would be better to listen and avoid future misunderstandings.

  "The young master's behavior over this period of time seems to have made Xiao Si see the former young master!" Xiao Si said: "This humble servant is of low status and does not know what Young Master Wang thinks in his heart, but this humble servant knows that Young Master Wang must have a plan, Young Master Wang must want to become once again the 'Little Overlord' whom everyone feared. Therefore, he changed himself! This humble servant also believes that with Young Master Wang's natural talent, he will definitely make the entire capital city... no, not just the capital city, but the entire Yun Tian Empire tremble!"

  Chu Hao was overjoyed when he heard this. This little fourth hadn't read any books, but he could tell a great story. He hastily patted his shoulder and said, "Little Fourth, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

  Xiao Si blushed and smiled slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed by Chu Hao's words, saying: "I'm just telling the truth."

  Chu Hao knew that these low-ranking servants generally wouldn't have too many thoughts, after all, serving their masters well was what they racked their brains to think about every day. Chu Hao sighed and didn't make things difficult for him anymore, nodding his head: "Xiao Wang knows. There's a reward!" As he spoke, he pulled out a silver note, which was worth 100 taels of silver.

  Xiao Si's face lit up with a smile, but after taking a closer look at Chu Hao's face, he was shocked and said: "Young Master Wang, didn't your monthly allowance run out?" Chu Hao smiled mysteriously and said: "Didn't I tell you before that I would make a big fortune? Follow me and I'll make sure you eat well and live a life of luxury!"

  Xiao Si nodded as if he understood, but actually didn't. He was very loyal to the crown prince and cleverly didn't ask any more questions. After putting away the silver note, he vowed: "Is there anything else Young Master Wang wants me to do? I'll go take care of it right away!"

  Chu Hao thought for a moment, then took out another silver note and instructed some refining materials. He told Xiao Si to prepare them after dinner and put them in the storage room. After thinking for a while, he asked about General Zhen Shi's situation again and learned that the crab was really gone. Chu Hao sighed and stopped talking.

  Xiao Si hesitated for a moment and said: "That's right, Young Master Wang, didn't you let Chu Mo lead the way when you went out recently?"
