Although it was only a small part, the incredibly pure life energy, which seemed to cleanse the soul, instantly made Xia Youyu and Huo Ling'er beside her widen their eyes!
"No...the Divine Fountain of Youth?!!"
Xia Youyu looked at the sacred spring water in Shi Hao's hand, which was like a precious nectar, and felt the vast vitality contained within it. Her voice trembled with excitement.
It truly is a fountain of youth! And the quality is so high!
The thing she had been searching for so long was actually... actually in the hands of this junior brother?!
"You... how did you get this?!" Xia Youyu asked, her voice trembling with surprise and delight.
Shi Hao chuckled, giving him a "praise me" look: "Of course I just grabbed it casually! Pretty impressive, right?"
“You…” Xia Youyu looked at his smug little face, and then thought about the possible battle that had just taken place here, and instantly understood what was going on.
This fountain of immortality must have been "snatched" from someone else by this little guy!
However, she couldn't care less about that at the moment!
Finding the Fountain of Immortality means that the sacrificial spirits of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion can be saved! This is the most important thing!
"That's great! Junior Brother Shi Hao! You're amazing! You're such a good junior brother!" Xia Youyu was so excited that she hugged Shi Hao tightly and gave him a big kiss on his rosy cheeks!
The soft touch and faint fragrance made Shi Hao pause for a moment.
Seeing this, Huo Ling'er felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Hmph!" She stomped her foot lightly and turned her head away.
Xia Youyu realized her lapse in composure only after the kiss, her pretty face flushing red. She quickly released Shi Hao and coughed awkwardly twice, "Ahem, um... Junior Brother, you've done a great service this time! When we get back to the pavilion, I'll definitely report to the elders and give you the highest honor!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Shi Hao touched his cheek that had been kissed, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Now that the Fountain of Immortality has been obtained and the Rain Clan's pursuers have been dealt with, the main objectives of this trip have been achieved.
"Alright, we shouldn't stay here any longer." Xia Youyu calmed her excited emotions, looked at the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone that was still filled with a dangerous aura, and suggested, "Let's leave here as soon as possible and head to the central area of Hundred Broken Mountains."
"it is good."
Shi Hao nodded; he had lost interest in the lifeless Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone.
Huo Ling'er naturally had no objections.
Thus, Shi Hao, Xia Youyu, and Huo Ling'er, three teenagers with different identities who came together by various coincidences, along with the still-sleeping Maoqiu and the God-Slaying Stone floating above Shi Hao's head, formed a strange team and left this forbidden zone of Heavenly Bone, which was full of death and misfortune, heading towards the more mysterious central area of Hundred Broken Mountains!
The Hundred Broken Mountains are vast and boundless, and there may be opportunities and fortunes left over from ancient times hidden everywhere. Since we have come, we cannot leave empty-handed.
Guided by Maoqiu's incredibly accurate compass, they continued deeper into the heart of the Hundred Broken Mountains.
The journey that followed was much calmer, but the opportunities encountered were no less numerous.
At the foot of a broken cliff, they discovered a huge ancient tree that required several people to encircle, and on the tree were several strange fruits that flowed with five-colored light.
Shi Hao recognized that these were the legendary Five Elements Treasure Fruits that could cleanse the body and enhance qi and blood. He immediately picked them all without hesitation, giving one to each of Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu, and kept the rest for himself.
In a desolate, rocky wasteland, Maoqiu unearthed a piece of "Star Iron" the size of a human head, jet black in color, yet radiating a strange starlight glow. It was an excellent material for crafting spatial artifacts.
They even stumbled upon the ruins of an ancient battlefield. Although most of the divine weapons had decayed over time, they found a broken black spear that still exuded an astonishing aura of menace, as well as several broken armor plates engraved with ancient runes.
The journey had been incredibly fruitful. Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu were both thrilled, secretly glad they had chosen the right person to follow. Although following this little monster often drove them to their wits' end, the efficiency of their treasure hunts was something they had never dared to dream of before!
On this day, they arrived at a relatively flat grassland. Just as they were about to rest, a majestic and arrogant tiger's roar suddenly came from not far away!
Roar!
The white tiger, with its lithe body, pure white fur covered in golden divine patterns, and a gleaming "King" character on its forehead, slowly walked out with elegant yet powerful steps!
The aura emanating from it was extremely powerful, clearly indicating that it was also a being at the Cave Heaven Realm!
Moreover, its bloodline power is extremely pure, faintly carrying a sharp and killing aura like Geng metal!
"The little white tiger from Xiling Beast Mountain?" Huo Ling'er frowned slightly when she saw the white tiger, recognizing its origin.
Xiling Beast Mountain is an extremely powerful ancient divine mountain lineage in the desolate region, with the White Tiger lineage as its most revered, and it has always been known for its domineering and protective nature!
The little white tiger clearly recognized Huo Ling'er, but its gaze immediately fell on Shi Hao and the seemingly ordinary golden fur ball on his shoulder!
A glint of greed and arrogance flashed in its golden tiger eyes. In an unquestionable tone, it spoke in human language: "Little human, and that golden-haired monkey, you two seem to have good potential. I'm in need of two servants to serve me tea and water, so you'll follow me from now on! As for you, Fire Kingdom girl, you can get lost!"
It actually... wants Shi Hao and Mao Qiu to be its servants?!
Upon hearing this, not only was Shi Hao stunned, but Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu beside him were also shocked!
Is this little white tiger... blind? Or is it out of its mind?
Didn't it sense the subtle yet terrifying aura emanating from Shi Hao?
"What did you say?!" Before Shi Hao could speak, the God-Slaying Stone on his head jumped up, pointing at the little white tiger and cursing, "You long-haired beast! Are you blind?! You dare to make my boss be your servant? I think you're tired of living! Believe me, I'll smash you to death with a brick?!"
"presumptuous!"
The little white tiger was furious! How dare a mere broken rock insult it? It opened its mouth and unleashed an indestructible Gengjin sword aura, slashing towards the God-Slaying Stone!
However, the God-Slaying Stone was completely unfazed and went straight to meet the attack!
clang!
With a crisp sound, the Gengjin sword energy struck the God-Slaying Stone, but it didn't even leave a mark; instead, it was shattered into pieces!
"Hehe! Is that all you've got? Not even enough to tickle your old man Shi!" the God-Slaying Stone boasted smugly.
Upon seeing this, the little white tiger was filled with shock and anger!
Shi Hao's expression had turned completely cold at this moment.
He originally thought that the little white tiger was just young and arrogant, but he didn't expect it to be so ignorant of its own mortality, daring to speak rudely to him and Maoqiu, and even taking the initiative to attack!
"I was going to spare your life, but since you're courting death..." A murderous glint flashed in Shi Hao's eyes, and he no longer hesitated!
"Perfect timing, I'll use you to test my newly mastered magic technique!"
The words had barely left his mouth when he moved!
This time, he did not use lightning or fire!
But...
hum!
An indescribable, terrifying aura, seemingly capable of devouring heaven and earth, suddenly erupted from his body!
Behind him, the eight grottoes roared in unison! Within one of the grottoes, it seemed as if the phantom of a ferocious beast was roaring!
The Gluttonous Treasure Technique – Devour!
Shi Hao opened his small mouth and inhaled sharply forward!
In an instant! An invisible yet incredibly powerful devouring force enveloped the little white tiger!
"Roar?! No! What... what kind of power is this?!" The little white tiger felt its blood, energy, and even its soul involuntarily surging towards the little creature's mouth!
It tried to struggle and resist, but found that its proud Geng metal power was utterly powerless in the face of that terrifying devouring power!
Its body shrank visibly! Its once magnificent fur became dull and lifeless! Its eyes were filled with endless fear and despair!
In just a few breaths!
This little white tiger, a peak-level Cave Heaven Realm creature with noble blood from Xiling Beast Mountain, was completely drained by Shi Hao!
In the end, only a complete tiger skin, a pile of tiger bones containing pure Geng metal power, and a clump of white tiger blood exuding rich life essence were left!
··Requesting flowers·····
hiss……
Seeing this, Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu gasped again, their pretty faces turning pale.
What... what kind of bizarre magical technique is this?! It can actually drain a powerful ancient remnant species dry?!
That's...that's terrifying!
Their gazes towards Shi Hao held even greater reverence.
This little guy's methods are endless, and each one is more terrifying than the last!
Shi Hao, however, did not care at all about the two women's reactions.
He skillfully collected the valuable spoils of war, including the white tiger's fur, bones, and true blood, and pondered in his mind:
"Yes, the White Tiger's true blood contains the power of Geng metal, which is perfect for tempering the body. The tiger bones can be forged into weapons for the uncles and elders in the village."
As for this tiger skin... hmm, it seems like a good little outfit for the furry friend?
Upon hearing this, the fur ball on the shoulder excitedly chirped "Zhi qun 85 zhi 2 yi" (a sound that could be interpreted as "squeaking").
Having resolved the minor incident involving the white tiger, Shi Hao felt his internal strength had improved again, especially his understanding of the Gluttonous Treasure Technique had deepened.
He found a secluded cave and decided to strike while the iron was hot and refine the "Taiyi True Water" that he had previously seized from the Rain Clan!
Taiyi True Water is the essence of water, extremely yin and gentle, yet containing immense energy.
This will perfectly harmonize with the Yin energy he absorbed earlier and his own ever-increasing Yang energy, achieving a perfect balance of Yin and Yang!
Shi Hao sat down cross-legged and carefully held the handful of Taiyi True Water, which was as viscous as mercury, in his palm.
.............
He activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, guiding this incomparably pure water elemental power to slowly merge into his limbs and bones, and into the eight rotating caves!
At the same time, his previous contact and entanglement with Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi, two heroines with extraordinary luck, seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism, and the degree of integration of the Desolate Emperor template in his mind began to increase slowly and steadily again!
[Ding! Detected host contact with important plot characters (Huo Ling'er, Yun Xi), triggering causal entanglement, increasing the fusion rate of the Desolate Emperor template!]
[Ding! Detected that the host is refining high-quality water-elemental essence "Taiyi True Water"!]
[Ding! Template fusion accelerated! Energy accumulation reached critical point!]
boom! ! !
There were almost no signs!
Shi Hao felt as if something inside his body had been completely ignited!
An unprecedented, vast and powerful torrent of energy erupted suddenly, like a volcano that had been accumulating for hundreds of millions of years!
The barrier of the eighth cave, which was already on the verge of breaking through, collapsed instantly under the impact of this terrifying energy!
The Ninth Grotto-Heaven – Open!
