Crunch!

With a slight sound, the door was suddenly pushed open.

All of a sudden, thick dust that had accumulated over many years blew towards me.

Lin Hao was filled with spiritual energy, which directly shook off the dust around him, but his body remained spotless.

The stone house has three bedrooms and a living room. The furnishings are relatively simple. There is a stone bed inside and spider webs can be seen everywhere.

This environment seems to be the dormitory of the younger disciples of the ancient forces.

Lin Hao took a quick glance and after making sure there was nothing unusual, he walked into one of the nearby dormitories.

At the same time, Jing Ke was also summoned out by Lin Hao and was lurking in a dark corner of the house.

If someone breaks in, they can be stopped instantly!

With Jing Ke's combat power, Lin Hao has nothing to worry about during his cultivation this time.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Lin Hao took out the thousand-year-old spiritual fruit from the storage ring.

This kind of top-grade spiritual fruit contains the original power of the universe and heaven. If it were placed in the outside world, it would definitely arouse the envy of many forces.

Even Tianyan Academy might not be able to do it.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Hao took a bite of the fruit.

It tastes sour and sweet in the mouth, and the juice is silky and juicy, just like liquefied spiritual energy, flowing into the mouth, filled with an extremely rich energy wave, flowing down the throat and straight into the stomach.

For a moment, Lin Hao felt as if his whole body was being baptized by this energy.

The whole person suddenly became refreshed, the tendons, blood vessels, bones, and even all the cells in the body were trembling slightly, greedily absorbing the energy of the Lingyuan Fruit.

Generally speaking, most of the natural treasures and elixirs contain impurities to a greater or lesser extent.

However, the energy of this Lingyuan Fruit is not only rich, but also extremely pure.

The entire absorption process does not require any refining and can be directly swallowed.

"A thousand-year-old spiritual fruit is indeed top-grade!"

Lin Hao's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation of admiration.

Immediately, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the whole Lingyuan Fruit in just a few gulps.

boom--!

In an instant, Lin Hao clearly felt an extremely surging energy, which flowed into his meridians and blood vessels along his intestines and stomach like a tide, rushing madly to his limbs and bones!

A huge amount of energy filled his whole body, and Lin Hao only felt dizzy, but without any pain.

That feeling is like having too much to eat.

However, because the energy was so abundant, traces of spiritual energy began to seep out of the pores all over his body.

Realizing this, Lin Hao immediately contracted the pores all over his body to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping.

The spiritual energy that flows out is all the precious energy contained in the Lingyuan Fruit, and every strand of it has been nurtured for thousands of years.

It would be a pity if it were wasted!

Compared to those natural treasures or elixirs that can cleanse one's bones and marrow, the energy of the Lingyuan Fruit is undoubtedly much milder.

After closing all the pores on his body, Lin Hao did not slow down at all.

He immediately practiced the Star Devouring Technique, drawing the spiritual energy to rush through his body while absorbing it at a uniform speed.

By this time, night had fallen.

Lin Hao sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his aura fluctuating and growing.

Perhaps it was because he had abundant energy in his body, his skin was emitting a crystal green glow.

That shape looked extremely strange in the dark night.

He is at a critical moment now.

If we were interrupted halfway, using the energy of the Lingyuan Fruit to impact the eighth spiritual vein would most likely be wasted.

…

"What bad luck! I worked so hard for a whole day, but someone else got the treasure first!"

"Yeah, if I wasn't weaker than them, I would have just robbed them, damn it!!"

Just then, not far from the house, two figures came over cursing.

The direction they were heading happened to be the dormitory area where Lin Hao was.

The clothes worn by these two people are from Jianyun Academy of Xingyu Empire.

After searching for a long time, they only got some trivial things. Seeing others gaining a lot, they felt extremely puzzled and jealous.

"That kid from Tianyan Academy on the top floor of the ancient tower must have picked up a great bargain. I wonder what it was?"

The person who was speaking was short, with small eyes that revealed a cunning gleam.

"Even if he knew, so what? He must be very strong to have killed two contestants from Wuling Academy."

The man with a crew cut next to him shook his head and sighed.

That expression seemed like they were very envious of other contestants who, at the same age, had martial arts talents far beyond theirs.

"Without seeing it with my own eyes, it's hard to say whether he really killed him or not."

The short young man did not comment, but sneered, "Perhaps the two guys from Wuling Academy fought and killed each other for the treasure, and that kid took advantage of it."

Hearing this, the man with a crew cut remained silent and did not refute the other party.

Obviously, he felt that there was some truth in this analysis. After all, the combined strength of two level eight warriors was extremely powerful.

To kill them all at the same time, one must be a strong man who has reached the ninth level of cultivation.

Although Lin Hao's aura was restrained at that time, he seemed to be at most a seventh-level warrior, and it was impossible for him to achieve a double kill.

Because the tragic death of two contestants from Wuling Academy was so shocking, there were not many speculations.

Now that I think about what the short young man said, it really seems a bit unbelievable!

"If I meet that kid from Tianyan Academy again, I will definitely test his strength!"

The short young man's eyes flashed with grimness and he snorted coldly.

"Forget it. Even if it's fake, do you think you can still see it? I guess he has already disappeared with the treasure."

The man with a crew cut sneered and deliberately provoked the short young man.

However, the short young man did not react at all.

Because at this moment, his eyes were staring at a stone house on the right in surprise.

But I saw a faint light flashing in the cracks of the wall of the stone house.

The short young man's heart trembled, and he said hurriedly: "Stop talking nonsense, look over there."

Hearing this, the man with a crew cut looked in the direction the short young man pointed.

He immediately noticed a ray of light seeping out from the cracks in the wall.

Both of them were a little confused about this.

After all, it was dark now, but there was light in the stone house, which was obviously unusual.

Is there a treasure inside? !

They looked at each other, the same thought came to their minds, and a hint of greed suddenly appeared on their faces.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

The short young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he took the lead and walked towards the stone house.

The man with a crew cut immediately followed.

When they reached the wall, they quietly approached the crack and looked inside.

But on the stone **, a figure was sitting quietly, emitting a circle of faint emerald green halo.

“It’s him!”

When he saw Lin Hao's appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in the short young man's eyes.

It's really like searching for something everywhere but finding it is actually a piece of cake.

His gaze pierced through the cracks in the wall, staring at Lin Hao who was practicing, and a cold smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
