Chapter Thirty-Three: The Gift Arrives

  "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all! It seems that the Wu tribe's physical training method is indeed good. Continue hitting me, I'll just use my pure physical strength to try."

  Zhang Hao clenched his fists, and a strong masculine aura emanated from him, stirring up Xiao Zi's spiritual energy.

  Looking at Zhang Hao's confident expression, Xiao Zi's concerns in her heart all disappeared, she nodded slightly and raised the silver dragon whip in her hand.

  A silver light flashed by, followed by a deep and solid cracking sound.

  Zhang Hao's feelings were very real.

  This whip came down and bounced up slightly, a faint numbness spread from the shoulder, but it was quickly repaired by the strong qi and blood in the body.

  It seems that I have broken through the three realms of the ancient Shu tribe's physical refinement technique, and my body can withstand external forces without being damaged.

  The six realms of the Wu tribe's physical refinement are: "Qi and blood are full", "Internal organs are strong", "Muscles and bones are compact", "Bones are soft and tendons are relaxed", "Stretching and contracting freely" and "Like iron like cotton".

  When cultivated to the highest realm, like iron and silk, one can possess the power of a thousand tripods with pure physical strength. The body's intensity is soft as cotton and hard as steel, ordinary spiritual instruments cannot break through the flesh, and the body's flexibility is greatly enhanced. Unlike most cultivators, their techniques are powerful, but their bodies are weak, not even reaching the Golden Elixir realm, an average warrior can sneak up and kill them.

  After feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Hao jumped up casually, and with a single bounce, he reached a height of three meters. He landed softly and silently, which was something he had never done before by mobilizing the spiritual energy within his body. Instead, he relied solely on his physical agility and control over his body to achieve this naturally.

  Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the house: "Elder Xianchu Pavilion, Zhang Yuefeng has come to pay his respects to Master... brother!" The word "brother" at the end was abruptly withdrawn by Zhang Yuefeng.

  "Come in, come in." Zhang Hao responded somewhat impatiently, but he was thinking to himself, "This old thing won't be here because I sneaked a snack yesterday and now it's coming to bother me today, will it?"

  While thinking about it, Xiaozi quickly went to get Zhang Hao's clothes and naturally put them on his body after getting the clothes.

  Zhang Yuefeng hurriedly walked up from the stone steps as soon as he heard Zhang Hao's voice, and gently pushed open the door to enter.

  Only to see Zhang Hao's clothes were disheveled, while the little girl who was taken in by the old doorman was helping Zhang Hao tie his belt. The two red clouds on this little girl's face made her slightly plump and tender face look even more shy.

  "You... I, I have something important to tell my junior brother." Zhang Yuefeng felt a bit awkward. Although his cultivation level was only at the peak of Cong Mai, he had also been in the secular world and had experienced romantic relationships. But this was broad daylight, wasn't it? Moreover, this little girl, Xiao Qi, was so innocent and naive.

  Zhang Yuefeng thought to himself as he raised his head to glance at Zhang Hao, and his heart skipped a beat. Just a few days ago, he hadn't noticed that this guy's vital energy was so incredibly strong. The Red Dust Sword Sect's cultivation method emphasized the importance of cultivating one's physical body only after reaching the Golden Elixir stage, so cultivators who had not yet broken through to the Golden Elixir stage were only several times stronger than ordinary people in terms of their physical bodies. But someone like Zhang Hao with such vigorous vital energy was extremely rare.

  "This guy won't be practicing some kind of demonic cultivation, absorbing yin to supplement yang, will he?! Thinking about Zhang Hao's past behavior, Zhang Feng's heart felt a bit indignant, but his personality was gentle and disliked conflict, humble and courteous. Moreover, at this moment, it was just speculation without evidence, so he could only let out a deep sigh."

  "What a tragedy!" Zhang Hao cursed in his heart.

  "This guy is always sighing and looking at himself with an angry expression, it makes him very uncomfortable!"

  When his gaze fell on the slightly hunched back and gray-white hair, he felt a slight pang in his heart and said helplessly: "I ate too much yesterday, but after I cultivated my body, my blood was strong and my internal organs were powerful. This standard meal for inner disciples is really not enough to fill me up. Yesterday was my fault, and I apologize to you!"

  "Refine the body!" "Atone for your sins!"

  Zhang Feng's heart flashed with these two words, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, could it be that he was thinking crookedly? He thought to himself while saying, "There's no need for compensation, in the future when entering the Xianchu Pavilion, remember to wear clothes, don't rush into the outer female disciples of the Xianchu Pavilion."

  "Alright, alright!" Zhang Hao hastily replied as soon as he heard it.

  Today I came over to tell you something, Zhang Fengyue said while glancing at Xiaozi, and made a gesture to Zhang Hao.

  Zhang Hao looked at Xiaozi with a hint of understanding and said, "Xiaozi, Shixiong wants to drink wine now. Go to Tianjian Peak and bring back two jars of Baihuaquan!"

  Xiaozi glared fiercely at Zhang Yuefeng, trying to put on a fierce and intimidating appearance to scare him.

  Who would have thought that Zhang Yuefeng only took a glance at Xiaoyi, and the depressed expression he had when he first arrived was completely gone. He stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Miss Xiaoyi, you are truly lovely!"

  He said with a smile!

  Xiaozi saw that both of them had a smiling and benevolent appearance, but she coldly snorted and quickly walked out of the house.

  As soon as he saw Xiao Zhi walking away, Zhang Hao's smiling face immediately turned serious and asked, "What happened?"

  Zhang Yuefeng walked a few steps inside the house and said, "The wandering Taoist of Wandering Peak has sent his adopted son to the Red Dust Sword Sect today with a betrothal gift, saying that he wants to have Mu Shimei become dao companions with his adopted son!"

  After finishing, he sank into thought, looking at Zhang Hao, but in his heart, he was thinking that the old master had entrusted him to support Zhang Hao as the new master before his death. Now, looking at this young man, how many ounces does he have? If he is really unable to be supported, what should be done?

  He thought about it and slightly hunched over to observe Zhang Hao's expression.

  "How many people know about this?" Zhang Hao asked with a somewhat gloomy expression.

  Zhang Yuefeng had never seen Zhang Hao look like this before, and when he heard him ask the question, he hastily replied: "Not many people know about this matter. Last time was also me who received his adopted son, but last time Xiaoyi and Muci were both present. Muci said on the spot that as a master, she had just passed away, how could her disciples get married before her bones were cold?"

  Just as Zhang Yuefeng's words fell, he suddenly heard Zhang Hao scolding: "These two little bastards, their scheme is not small! Did you accept this betrothal gift?"

  "This betrothal gift, how dare I accept it! This is a precious treasure!" Zhang Yuefeng said, his face darkening. The words behind, he all swallowed into his belly, if this Muci sister was taken away by the people of Xuanxuan Peak, the Hongchen Sword Sect would also decline, this is the only golden elixir disciple of the Hongchen Sword Sect.

  "What attribute is this treasure?" Zhang Hao asked as soon as he heard it.

  "The Five Elements attribute is called Reincarnation Wheel, it's a magical treasure given by the Ethereal Daoist to his sworn son."

  "Wu Xing Fa Bao!" Zhang Hao's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that someone had come to deliver a pillow in his sleep, and his own Tongtian Tower would be restored thanks to the Wu Xing Fa Bao.
