Chapter 1120: A Huge Loss
"Of course, it's to use your flesh and blood to nurture this Spiritual Medicine!" The attendant revealed a proud expression, "You, an ordinary mortal, have the fortune to become the nourishment for this Spiritual Medicine, to be absorbed by it, and have a chance at immortality. Isn't this your great fortune?"
Oh, so this guy called him out in the middle of the night and made him take off his clothes, not to fool around, but to use him as fertilizer.
Shi Hao sighed. Wouldn't you say his luck was rotten? Out of the forty people who came, he was the one chosen on the first night.
But, the Qian Family is actually using human lives to feed Spiritual Medicines?
Shi Hao's gaze turned cold. Truly, they regarded human life as worthless.
This way, he wouldn't have any psychological burden when it came to killing people.
—The Spiritual Medicines and Immortal Fruits in this Medicine Garden are all nurtured with countless human lives!
"Die!" Shi Hao reached out towards the attendant.
"Such ignorance!" The attendant coldly laughed; could a mere Great Sacrificial Heaven dare attack him?
However, as the hand pressed down, the attendant's expression changed dramatically.
What terrifying power!
This was not just a Great Sacrificial Heaven; he was completely crushed!
He wanted to cry out, but before any sound could emerge, his entire body turned into a shower of blood rain, nourishing the Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit.
This is retribution.
Shi Hao had no intention of disguising himself as the attendant; he quickly made his move, plucking the thumb-sized fruit from the Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit, then dashed away to begin a massive looting spree.
It wasn't until two-thirds of the looting was complete that the Silver Spirit Immortal was finally alerted.
"Such audacity!" The Silver Spirit Immortal flew out, shouting at Shi Hao, yet as his Divine Sense swept over him, he trembled all over.
That Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit had been picked by Shi Hao!
Damn it, that was a Golden Level Immortal Medicine, far from mature yet. How much medicinal power could it have if picked now?
Silver Spirit Immortal level?
This was truly a waste of nature's gifts!
Moreover, this also concerned the ancestor of the Qian Family!
Now this ancestor was a four-star Golden Immortal but had been stuck at this realm for a long, long time. In discovering the Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit, he spared no expense to transplant it, hoping to consume it in ten thousand years to soar to five stars!
A one-star difference—a world of difference!
The ancestor's cultivation level naturally affected every member of the Qian Family, concerning everyone's interests.
Thus, the entire Qian Family was extremely invested in this matter, even using live people as nourishment to speed up the Immortal Fruit's maturation.
Unthinkably, it was picked!
"Die!" The Silver Spirit Immortal roared in rage, slashing out with a strike that transformed into lightning, aimed at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao laughed heartily and decisively used another Godspeed Talisman, his speed soaring, effortlessly evading the strike.
"I don't change my name while walking, nor when I sit—your grandfather is Master Sanshi!" Shi Hao laughed heartily, leaving behind a taunt and then walked away leisurely.
The Silver Spirit Immortal chased for a few steps but had to stop abruptly.
Couldn't catch up.
Master Sanshi?
Who is Master Sanshi, to dare oppose the Qian Family?
He went back to inquire, and Xuanbai City's Qian Family erupted.
Damn, this guy didn't flee; instead, he almost single-handedly ruined the Qian Family's very important Medicine Garden.
Then, upon further investigation, they finally found the clue.
Li Bing, Han Mingyue, and a servant had all disappeared.
—The thief impersonated Li Bing to enter the Qian Residence, then killed Han Mingyue and another who discovered his flaw, pillaged the treasury, then impersonated a medicine slave to boldly leave the Qian Residence, entered the Medicine Garden, and "picked" the ancestor's hope away.
This was incredibly daring!
Qian Lang was also cold with fear; secondly, the theft of the Qian Residence was a minor issue, but the picking of the Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit was a major one.
The ancestor had waited thousands of years, and all waited in vain.
And the origin of everything was because the Qian Family wanted Shi Hao to work for them and more so to seize the Blood Shadow Heavenly Jade from him.
Qian Lang was inexcusably involved in this.
No choice, he must go see the ancestor and personally apologize.
...
An incident this significant might not be known to people at the bottom layer, but how could the forces at the top not catch wind of it?
Other elder-level families were gloating over it, as it didn't concern them. Moreover, it involved factional struggles; they naturally hoped the Qian Family would suffer, while the Zhao Family deeply regretted not anticipating how terrifying Shi Hao's vengeful retaliation could be.
What if Shi Hao had chosen their Zhao Family first?
After all, the Zhao Family also sent a junior, hoping to force Shi Hao's submission.
However, no matter how different or discordant the factions might be, now the Taibai Sect's stance was uniform—that is, to bring Shi Hao to justice!
This was no longer just the Qian Family's business; it also touched upon the Taibai Sect's dignity. How could they allow a junior to be wanton at Floating Water Mountain!
A large number of experts were dispatched, searching for the whereabouts of a Copper Armored Immortal.
So, where did Shi Hao go?
He hadn't gone anywhere; he was still in the Immortal Abode.
First, he needed to digest this harvest.
He and the Purple Gold Rat were both consuming Immortal Medicine, while Weng Nanqing had reached the critical juncture of hitting the ninety-ninth level.
This shocked Shi Hao, as it was already impressive for Weng Nanqing to reach the Mortal Level Absolute Summit. Now she was challenging the Super Ultimate Peak?
Two days later, Weng Nanqing succeeded.
The speed was astonishingly fast!
However, at this point, Weng Nanqing's potential was finally exhausted. After stabilizing her realm, she could challenge the Immortal Level.
Shi Hao checked briefly and found nothing wrong with Weng Nanqing, as she hadn't consumed any life potential to reach her level, so although somewhat surprised, he didn't ask further.
Everyone has their secrets, and some matters don't need to be fully known, even by him as her husband.
After another two days, Shi Hao had completely digested the treasures obtained from the Qian Family, including the Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit.
His cultivation shot straight to the two-star peak.
Previously, upon resolving the Origin Stones, he got a few Spiritual Medicines, and adding them enabled him to leap astonishingly to the two-star peak.
Pushing for three stars!
This step took Shi Hao only half a day. The bronze rules he mastered advanced yet another stage.
Shi Hao exited the Immortal Abode, ready to proceed to the third step.
He left Floating Water Mountain, traveling thousands of miles, and arrived at a towering mountain range.
Here was an Immortal Stone Mine, owned by the Qian Family—more precisely, the Qian Family shared one-third, while the other two-thirds belonged to two other elders of the Taibai Sect.
Shi Hao dove in, and the Immortal Stone Mine, unlike the Medicine Garden which was tiny in comparison, allowed him to penetrate in any direction after determining the approximate location of the vein.
He intended to raid it thoroughly, leaving the Qian Family in pain that would last at least hundreds of years.
