Chapter 595: Fairy Charm Purple Osmanthus
As his immortal body matured, Li Hao felt that even if he stood there and allowed attacks from people of the same realm to come, he could withstand it easily.
Now the transformation of his immortal body is complete, but his own realm is too low and his immortal power is weak. When his realm is improved, the capacity of his immortal power will increase accordingly, and the power of his immortal body will increase again.
Li Hao estimated that with his current immortal body, he could easily withstand attacks from the seventh or eighth level of the Immortal King realm.
If he met Emperor Jiming from the imperial clan again, he wouldn't need to draw his sword. He could fight back and forth with his immortal body alone.
It has been nearly six years since Li Hao came here from the Southern Region. His soul lifespan has exceeded 100 years. Now his soul lifespan is 102 years. Compared with the geniuses whose soul lifespans are often four or five hundred years, he is still very young.
In addition to the celestial body, during the past five years he cooked the corpse of an ancient demon, and his soul's golden bones were increased and upgraded again, with three hundred more!
Including the previous golden bones of the spirit, there are more than eight hundred of them!
But it still failed to spread throughout the body. Li Hao estimated that in order to cultivate the Yuanshen Golden Bones to perfection and achieve a body full of golden bones, it would require about twelve hundred bones.
By then, you can take the final step and refine the true blood of the spirit.
Once he reaches the true blood level, his soul will undergo a complete transformation and reach the last hurdle to the final realm. The power of his soul will increase subversively, and can even be comparable to that of the Immortal King realm!
Over the past five years, these changes and improvements were not deliberately made by Li Hao. His mind was entirely on his skills. After all, the changes brought about by improving skills are the greatest and are the fastest way to improve.
After five years of playing chess day and night and pondering over it, he finally managed to touch the light of breakthrough in the way of chess, just one step away from success.
Moreover, his cooking skills also improved with his state of mind and reached the eleventh level.
And Li Hao used the eleventh-level cooking state of mind in his boxing. Now his body movement, boxing, swordsmanship, and defense skills have all reached the eleventh level!
The physical path and the painting path have twelve sections.
Among the seven arts, only music and poetry remain at six sections, while the rest are eleven sections.
Li Hao really has no time to study music and poetry. Even if he improves it to the eleventh level, it is nothing more than practicing two more avenues for him, and the improvement of his combat power will not be obvious.
It only takes one move to kill the enemy.
The outcome of a chess game is also determined by one move.
If his eleventh-level skills such as chess and fishing can break through to the twelfth level, his swordsmanship and physical skills will also improve accordingly. Combined with his physical skills, the improvements in these three great ways will complement each other and bring about the greatest change in combat power. He will be able to reach the top in one step in the Immortal King realm and have combat power that can rival that of an Immortal King!
Snap!
After the chess piece was placed on the board, Li Hao lowered his eyebrows and stared into deep thought.
His mind was completely focused on the chessboard, and he paid no attention to the maids, Wu Ma and others who were coming and going in the courtyard.
Suddenly, two gusts of wind came whistling from afar and landed in the Exiled Immortal Courtyard.
As soon as it landed, two beautiful figures saw the young man in deep thought outside the hall. Su Wanqing's figure flashed, and she came to the chessboard with a smile on her face and said:
"Playing chess again? Have you seen my sister recently?"
"without."
Li Hao came back to his senses from his thoughts and saw that it was her. He knew that he would see Ying Xiaoxiao's face again today, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
They were said to be together for a hundred years, but in the past five years, he had very few opportunities to see Su Muqing. Most of the time, he only saw her for a while every time Su Wanqing came.
For this reason, he was more attentive in teaching Su Wanqing the art of painting, hoping that she could come here often.
But all in all, I've only seen him less than sixty times, which averages out to once a month.
"You, do you really intend to wait like this for a hundred years?"
Su Wanqing felt a little helpless when she heard what Li Hao said.
Next to her, another woman was walking slowly towards them. It was Su Wanxue.
Su Wanxue had come here several times in the past five years. Seeing how serious and attentive Li Hao was to Su Muqing, she just sighed but didn't say much.
She knew her sister's personality. She would not be moved so easily.
Someone once pursued Su Muqing and almost died in a dangerous place. He retrieved the treasure and brought it to Su Muqing, but she threw it away like garbage.
The Su family has no shortage of rare treasures, and considering Su Muqing's status, even if she were given immortal weapons or rare medicines, they would not be attractive to her.
There were also people who took a different approach and tried to move Su Muqing with their true feelings. They knelt outside the Su residence for a long time and could not get up. As a result, Su Muqing met them when she went out. The other party came up and was entangled by Su Muqing. He was knocked unconscious by a palm, and his cultivation was damaged.
But afterwards, the man not only did not complain, but instead spread the word that Su Muqing's sister beat him because she felt sorry for him.
In response to this, Su Wanxue and others were speechless. They only felt that the thoughts of young men in the world were a little obsessed and unbelievable.
During that period, the Su family was surrounded by suitors, which annoyed the family greatly. However, everything stopped after the Emperor's son returned from training and announced his relationship with Su Muqing.
No one dared to compete with the true dragon of the Lin family, and all of them retreated in shame.
Now, the young man in front of her was relying on the marriage certificate to try to fight against the prince of the Lin family. In Su Wanxue's opinion, this was wishful thinking.
In Su Wanxue's eyes, this kind of sacrifice is just a waste of oneself and is meaningless.
"You really don't listen to advice. Well, never mind. Next time I have a chance, I'll find a chess master to teach you how to play chess."
Seeing that Li Hao was so stubborn, Su Wanqing didn't waste any more words. She had tried to persuade him many times in the past five years, but now she had given up.
"The chess master is not qualified to play chess with me."
Li Hao shook his head.
The chess master is at most at the ninth dan level, and playing against him is just a waste of time.
"You are so arrogant."
Su Wanqing was speechless, and said, "Are you good at chess?"
She didn't understand chess, so she couldn't tell how good Li Hao was at it.
Li Hao shook his head and didn't explain.
"Wanqing, call Mu Qing out."
Su Wanxue interrupted Su Wanqing and gave instructions, not wanting to waste time here.
Before Su Wanqing could respond, the tightly closed palace door opened and a stunning figure stood there. When Su Wanqing and the other girl arrived, she had already sensed the aura of the sisters.
The first thing she saw when she opened the door was the figure she hated.
It has been almost six years, and the other party has been doing this day and night and still has no intention of stopping.
A soul lifespan of a hundred years is already considered extraordinary, and wasting six years of it is better than an ordinary person wasting sixty years!
Su Muqing's eyes were extremely cold as she walked into the yard.
"Sister Wanxue."
Su Muqing nodded.
When Su Wanxue saw this stunning and cold sister, she couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in her eyes and sighed in her heart, no wonder so many geniuses would pursue her.
"The Sword Pond Prize Competition is about to begin in half a month. We are here to inform you in advance. You will definitely be the center of attention this time, so you must be well prepared. I heard that in addition to the Golden Osmanthus of the Divine Spring, there will also be the Purple Osmanthus of the Fairy Rhyme that blooms once every ten thousand years. Most of them will have extraordinary requirements. We will try to pick them all!"
Su Wanxue said, her eyes full of confidence.
Su Muqing's eyes lit up slightly, "The Fairy Charm Purple Osmanthus has appeared? That's great, I will definitely pick it!"
Su Wanxue laughed and believed in her sister's ability. If she couldn't pick them, then no one else on Gusu Imperial Star would be able to pick them.
The three girls stood together and chatted idly, talking about the news of the younger generation of each ethnic group and whispering among sisters.
It was only when talking about some more private matters that I remembered there was an outsider present.
Su Muqing noticed Li Hao's gaze and her face suddenly darkened. Since she stepped out of the palace, the other party's eyes had never left her.
"Do you really think you can impress me with this trick?"
Su Muqing's face was cold and emotionless. She said, "You have been in my Su family for almost six years. If you are willing to work hard to cultivate in these six years, with the immortal power in my courtyard that can rival that of foreign holy places, you will definitely be able to cultivate to the second level of the Immortal King Realm and make further progress!"
"Based on the speed at which your soul lifespan has improved over the past 100 years, combined with the immortal veins in my Su family's underground cave, if you work hard, it's possible for you to reach the third level of the Immortal Lord Realm!"
"But now, you are still at the first level of the Immortal Lord Realm. You have fallen into depravity and placed all your hopes on that marriage certificate, hoping to rely on me for wealth and honor. This is ridiculous!"
Li Hao didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
He automatically blocked out the other person's words and just stared at that face quietly.
Beside her, Su Wanxue had a calm expression. Su Muqing's words were also what was in her mind. However, she couldn't help but frown when she saw that there was no trace of shame or repentance on Li Hao's face.
Su Wanqing had been with Li Hao for five years and had some understanding of this young man's character. He was indeed idle, but she could not see any greed in him. When she heard this, she could not help but say:
"Sister, this is too hurtful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wanxue pulled him.
Su Muqing frowned, and seeing Li Hao's calm face, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "Words can hurt people, but some people are shameless and won't be hurt!"
Su Wanqing wanted to say something but stopped herself when she saw Li Hao's expressionless face.
"It's obvious that he has never been on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if he has talent. If he goes into battle, he will be a complete idiot!"
Su Muqing sneered and said, "Only after seeing iron and blood can you know that among all things in the world, only your own strength can be relied upon, and everything else is false!"
Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him had such awareness.
"Sister, I won't see you off."
After Su Muqing finished speaking, she ignored Li Hao and spoke to Su Wanxue.
Su Wanxue nodded and pulled Su Wanqing to leave, but Su Wanqing broke free and planned to stay.
Su Wanxue had no choice but to leave first.
Su Muqing didn't say much and turned back to the hall.
As the palace door closed, Li Hao withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and continued to play chess as if nothing had happened.
Su Wanqing's expression was complicated, and she said, "Sister Mu Qing has said this. You have no hope."
Li Hao didn't even raise his eyelids, he lowered his head and said, "What she said is not important."
"What's the important thing?"
“I know what I’m doing.”
Su Wanqing smiled bitterly, raised her hand, took out a glass bottle from the space between heaven and earth, and handed it to Li Hao:
"Here are three Hunyuan Immortal Pills that can help you improve your cultivation. Please accept them and consider them as my tuition."
Li Hao took a look at it and didn't refuse. Even if he couldn't use it, he could give it to someone else in the future.
Su Wanqing sighed and left the Exiled Immortal Temple.
The courtyard returned to silence again, and Li Hao withdrew his thoughts and immersed himself in the understanding of chess.
After the ancient demon's flesh and blood in his stomach was digested, he would grill it again, and after he was full he would continue to meditate.
Time passed, and half a month went by in a flash. For a genius like Su Muqing, half a month was just a retreat, no different from a night's sleep for ordinary people.
As Su Wanxue and Su Wanqing arrived again, Su Muqing left the hall and the three of them went together.
When Li Hao saw Su Muqing was about to leave, he immediately put away the chessboard, stood up and followed her.
Seeing Li Hao following, Su Muqing was a little annoyed, but she was used to it, so she just snorted coldly.
Seeing that Su Muqing hadn't expressed her opinion, Su Wanxue naturally didn't say anything.
Su Wanqing deliberately slowed down, forcing Su Muqing and Su Wanxue to slow down as well. This made it easier for Li Hao to catch up, and soon the four of them were almost walking at the same distance.
"If you go to the place we are going, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed."
Su Muqing sneered when she saw Li Hao approaching.
"oh."
Li Hao responded and followed silently.
Seeing that Li Hao didn't take her words seriously at all, Su Muqing was furious. In the past, those who tried to please her, when they were able to talk to her, would always flatter her to the utmost and talk like a string of pearls, unable to stop. On the contrary, this young man, apart from following her all the time, seemed to have a lukewarm attitude towards her.
However, there was someone who once pursued her but deliberately made her angry and even humiliated her just to get her attention. This method made her more disgusted among many suitors. She sneered in her heart and ignored Li Hao.
"Haotian, the place we are going to is the Sword Pond. There is a lively gathering on my Gusu Imperial Star. It is called a gathering, but in fact it is a competition between the geniuses of various families."
Su Wanqing, however, was very friendly to Li Hao and said softly, "If you can show off your talents in the sword pool, you will definitely get a lot of attention and become famous."
Li Hao nodded and said nothing.
When Su Muqing heard Su Wanqing's words, she couldn't help but think of Li Hao's performance at the previous exhibition, and her face changed slightly. With Li Hao's talent, even if he is still at the first level of the Immortal King Realm, but with a soul lifespan of a hundred years, he is undoubtedly still a top genius.
Maybe then you will really gain fame from it.
Her face suddenly turned gloomy.
Not long after, the four of them arrived outside Gusu City, outside a towering peak.
The mountain is majestic and steep, like a sword, piercing through heaven and earth.
The mountain is ninety thousand feet high and stands tall among the Three Thousand Dragon Ridge Mountains, making it extremely eye-catching.
"This is Sword God Peak!"
Su Wanqing spoke to Li Hao in a low voice.
When Li Hao heard the name, his heart moved slightly, and he thought of the Sword God Technique he practiced in Dameng Jiuyuan.
However, the title of Sword God is something that all sword holders in the world aspire to be, so it is not uncommon for people to have the same name.
There is a sealing array outside the Sword God Peak, and there are sword servants guarding it. Su Muqing and others don't even need to show their invitations, they can enter by scanning their faces.
In Gusu City, if even the four little phoenixes of the Su family are not recognized, it only means that the standard of this gathering is too low.
"He's with us."
Su Wanqing saw the sword servant looking at Li Hao in confusion, and spoke up for Li Hao.
Su Muqing's face changed slightly, and she frowned and asked, "Wanqing, what are you doing?"
"This Sword Pond Championship is a gathering of geniuses. Haotian's talent can also be called a genius, so let him come in and have some fun."
Su Wanqing said with a smile.
Su Muqing glared at Li Hao when she heard that. Su Wanqing had already said what she wanted to say, and she couldn't argue for the sake of her sister's face.
When the four entered the mountain, they immediately saw streams of light flying around with swords. The Sword God Peak was extremely lively, and quite a few people had already gathered there.
The four of them flew straight to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was extremely vast, and there stood a huge sword monument with three sword patterns engraved on it.
There is a waterfall flowing down from the high mountain behind the top of the sword monument, gathering into the mountain pool in front of the sword monument, stirring up white waves.
In front of the sword pool, many figures were sitting everywhere, all of them were wearing brocade clothes made of fairy treasures, which were extremely precious and were all the prides of their respective families.
"Look, that's the fairy osmanthus."
Su Wanqing pointed and said to Li Hao.
Li Hao looked and saw that next to the Jianbei Waterfall, under the torrent of the waterfall, a horizontal branch grew on the mountain next to it, which continued into three main veins.
At the bottom edge is a silver branch with silver fairy osmanthus blooming on it, emitting fragrance.
In the middle is a piece of golden fairy osmanthus, the leaves bursting with divine radiance and shrouded in divine mist, extremely exquisite and luxurious.
At the very top, there is a short branch, which is purple all over, as if the purple air is coming from the east from the rising sun. There are six purple flower cells on the branch, surrounded by purple flowing air, as if on the avenue of evolution, faintly emitting a very special fragrance.
"It looks like the Fairy Osmanthus is really going to bloom."
Su Wanxue's eyes lit up slightly, and she was obviously attracted by the fairy-like purple osmanthus.
Su Muqing was the same. Besides joy, there was also confidence that she would win.
At this moment, an uproar suddenly broke out.
Many eyes were focused on the scene. When Su Muqing, Su Wanqing and others appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In Gusu Imperial Star, the Four Little Phoenixes were extremely famous. The eyes of many geniuses from aristocratic families present at the scene shone, while some of them even had deep admiration in their eyes.
"The Su family is here too. The fairy osmanthus and the fairy are a perfect match."
"I can't get the Fairy Rhyme Purple Osmanthus, but I must pick one of the Divine Spring Golden Osmanthus!"
"I wonder how this test will turn out?"
Everyone started talking in low voices, and many people came forward to greet Su Muqing and the others. Their eyes naturally fell on Li Hao with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.
The only people who could be so close to the four little phoenixes of the Su family could be the direct descendants of the Su family, that is, the elder brother or cousin of Su Muqing and others.
But the young man in front of them looked very strange to them.
"Who is that man? How could he be so close to Su Muqing and the others?"
"Could it be that guy who pursued Su Muqing?"
"Are you talking about the incident a few years ago? The person who pursued Su Muqing at the art exhibition?"
"Oh my god, I haven't seen him for a few years. Could it be that he succeeded in his pursuit? Then the Lin family's prince must be..."
"Hush, if you dare to say that the Lin family's prince is wearing a hat, be careful to pull your head off."
Everyone immediately started talking in low voices, looking between Li Hao and Su Muqing frequently with strange expressions.
These discussions naturally fell into the ears of Su Muqing and others. Su Muqing's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes became colder.
Su Wanxue was a little speechless. She didn't expect the rumor to spread so outrageously. She couldn't help but look at Su Muqing worriedly.
"The news has spread so widely, Mu Xue, do you want to explain it to your partner?"
Su Muqing shook her head slightly and said coldly: "It's all nonsense, not worth mentioning, he won't believe it."
Su Wanxue thought about it and agreed, so she didn't say anything more.
"Su Muqing?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard, and Lin Jinrou, with flying black hair and wearing green clothes, came in front of them. Behind her, there were four or five geniuses of the Lin family.
At this time, the four or five Lin family geniuses all looked at Li Hao and looked him up and down.
What happened several years ago was widely circulated in the outside world. After all, it was news about Su Muqing, so it quickly aroused people's discussion.
Naturally, the Lin family also heard the news, but no one cared. No one would think that anyone could be compared with the Lin family's prince. As long as Su Muqing was not blind, she would not care.
But today, it was surprising that the other party was following Su Muqing.
"Haotian Painter."
Lin Jinrou soon noticed Li Hao. She was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly became a little resentful. She whispered:
"I have sent you several messages in the past few years. Master Haotian, did you not receive them? Or are you afraid of me and refuse to teach me?"
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the letters sent to the courtyard, which he had burned as firewood.
"This... I have something to do and can't get away." Li Hao coughed lightly.
Lin Jinrou glanced at Su Muqing next to her. Thinking of what happened at the previous exhibition, she looked strange and said, "Master Haotian, are you really going to pursue Muqing?"
When these words were spoken, many people around pricked up their ears.
Su Muqing's face turned gloomy, but before she could get angry and stop Li Hao from embarrassing her, she heard Li Hao's reply:
"without."
The boy shook his head.
"No?"
Lin Jinrou was surprised.
Beside them, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue were also looking at Li Hao in surprise.
You've been waiting so long, and now you say you have no pursuit?
Su Muqing was also stunned. She suppressed the anger that was about to come out of her mouth and looked at Li Hao.
"and you……"
Lin Jinrou was puzzled.
Before she could finish her question, a cheerful figure came over and shouted:
"Wanqing, Haotian Painter, Mu Qing!"
When they looked over, they saw Jiang Huanhuan, wearing a pink fairy dress, running towards them happily.
Su Wanqing had a closer relationship with Jiang Huanhuan, and she immediately waved, her face showing joy.
"Master Haotian, you are here too?"
Jiang Huanhuan's face was full of surprise.
She was not surprised to see Su Wanqing and others arrive, but she did not expect to see Li Hao here.
Li Hao also remembered the other party and nodded and greeted him.
