Hearing Lady Zhen’s voice, Hao Ren and Su Han immediately stopped talking. After all, with her unfathomable cultivation strength, Lady Zhen could easily break through inspector’ tokens.
After crossing the street and going back into East Ocean University, Hao Ren returned to the entrance of Green Hill Cafeteria and found that most of the students had left after the storm.
Other clubs once again moved their desks outside, but it was hard to recruit more students since the lunch hour was over, and the afternoon classes had begun.
Sitting by the Calligraphy Club’s booth, Su Han stood up and walked over to him, asking, “What happened?”
“It’s ok. She’s Zhen Congming’s mom,” Hao Ren said.
“Eternal Demon King…” Su Han murmured three words.
“What is an eternal demon king?” Hao Ran asked.
Su Han shook her head and didn’t answer.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili chimed in, “Eternal Demon King is a title. In the Demon Sea, once a demon beast passes the heavenly tribulation and transforms, he or she can be called Small Demon King; they would need to start cultivating again as a human. After reaching the pinnacle again, they would become Big Demon Kings. If they can pass another heavenly tribulation, they would be called Eternal Demon King, which is the immortal realm. They can live on for an eternity and be as powerful as heaven and earth.
Hao Ren remembered that demon beasts must experience two heavenly tribulations to reach the peak.
“Has Zhen Congming’s mom passed both tribulations already?” he thought.
“How are their powers compared with that of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators?”
“They need to pass two heavenly tribulations, so they are naturally more powerful than Soul Formation Realm cultivators. However, there are different power levels among the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, so it’s hard to make a comparison,” Lu Lili answered cautiously.
As long as they had reached the Soul Formation Realm, the human cultivators could live freely and permanently if they didn’t receive any destructive strikes. It was usually the power of their techniques that determined the strengths of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
The members of other clubs nearby were envious when they saw Hao Ren talking to Su Han so intimately.
As to the gorgeous woman who appeared a moment ago, she was as unreal as a dream to them.
“Brother Hao, we’ve finished the recruitment, and there are altogether 527 members,” Lu Qi walked over and looked at Su Han cautiously before reporting to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren who had been talking to Su Han turned to look at the Calligraphy Club’s booth and saw that the students were all gone, and the two bags before Xie Yujia were filled with money.
The presidents and executives the other clubs looked at the 250,000-yuan cash in front of Xie Yujia with envy and greed.
With the Calligraphy Club, Hao Ren had pulled in over 500 students in one day, making it look like a magic show instead of club recruitment! Hao Ren’s ‘business performance’ within the last two hours exceeded what they could achieve in one year!
“One is missing,” Hao Ren looked through the name list and said.
“Who?” Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
The two inspectors in East Ocean University who were also the only two inspectors in East Ocean City asked all the young cultivators to join the club, and Lu Qi didn’t believe that any cultivators would dare to refuse their orders.
“Xu Ke, a freshman from the Mechanic Engineering Program,” Hao Ren rechecked the name list and said.
“Xu Ke?” Lu Qi frowned at the unfamiliar name.
“Forget it; I’ll deal with it.” Hao Ren put away the booklet and placed it against Lu Qi’s chest. “You worked hard today. You can keep the name list, and I’ll put the membership fees in your charge after I deposit it in the bank.”
“This…” Lu Qi was astonished.
“Another thing. Pick a big classroom for tomorrow’s general meeting,” Hao Ren continued.
“Ok… Ok!” Lu Qi nodded.
As a new star in the Go circle, he was admired by many people. However, in the world of cultivation, he came from the remote fire-elemental dragon clan in the Wude Forrest and thus had slim prospects.
If he could gain the trust of Su Han or Hao Ren, he would be one step closer to the Dragon God Shrine and his dreams. After all, no matter how well he did in the mortal world, he was a dragon cultivator, and he had to gain his status with his strength and realm.
Despite his age, Hao Ren was now already a level 3 inspector, which was a great achievement even Lu Qi who was at Dui-level couldn’t reach. Besides, he had fought with Hao Ren twice and admitted defeat wholeheartedly.
“This afternoon, I plan to elevate the level of my natal dharma treasure, so I need to borrow your Ethereal Summit,” Su Han said.
“Ok!” Hao Ran replied swiftly.
“Finish up the matter at hand and come to see me.” Su Han turned toward the Administration Building.
She had planned to elevate her natal dharma treasure in a few days, but the appearance of an eternal demon king alarmed her, and she decided to raise the quality of her natal dharma treasure immediately.
According to the intelligence of the Dragon God Shrine, about ten Soul Formation Realm cultivators were lingering in the mortal world while more were living on and above Fifth Heaven.
However, there were no more than 20 eternal demon kings. They were said to be the oldest demon beasts who started cultivating in the Demon Sea, and the legendary top-ten demon kings in the Demon Sea were all eternal demon kings.
Su Han didn’t know if the eternal demon king who had just appeared was related with the top-ten demon kings or not. If she were the wife of one of the top-ten demon kings, she would be terrifying.
After all the inner Demon Sea was the dark territory even the people of the Above Realm, which was filled with immortals, dared not to touch.
“Su Han!” Hao Ren called out when seeing her walking away.
“What?” Su Han stopped and looked back at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren ran over and took out the purple gold hairpin. “Lady Zhen, Zhen Congming’s mom, gave it to me. Can you look at it and see if there is anything special about it?”
Su Han took it into her hand, but she immediately dropped it as a sudden burning pain struck her palm. A faint burn-mark speared on her white and tender palm.
“Little guy, you are too impatient. The purple gold hairpin is a token from me. If you are brave enough to come to visit me in the Demon Sea, the hairpin will keep you safe from even level 10 demon beasts. I planned to tutor you in cultivation, but you hurt me with your distrust…”
Lady Zhen’s words suddenly appeared in Hao Ren and Su Han’s minds, and her tone was sad.
“Forget it. Since Congming has a good opinion of you, I’ll tell you how to use this purple gold hairpin.” Lady Zhen changed her tone and continued, “You must inject metal and water-elemental nature essence into it in alternation, and its speed is no less than the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.”
Hao Ren instantly understood that this purple gold hairpin was also a flight dharma treasure.
It would be very convenient for Lady Zhen who could draw it out from her hair and toss it at her feet before flying in the sky.
“Little Sister Su, I won’t hurt you since I met your mom one before. I planned to give you the purple gold hairpin, but I guess you don’t need it with your hostility toward me and your habit of using the sword,” Lady Zhen said.
At the mention of her mom, Su Han’s body shook with surprise.
“I know that you want to get one thing from the Nine Dragon Palace, but you can’t get it since Qiu Niu is guarding it. I have a piece of information for you. The 25th of August in the Chinese Lunar Calendar is a good day to enter the Nine Dragon Palace. Qiu Niu is practicing a secret technique which decreases his cultivation strength greatly every 1,000 years, and he has to find a place in seclusion to recover his strength.”
“Oh… Why are you telling me this?” Su Han asked.
“Hehe. I know you have a grudge against Qiu Niu for injuring you severely. As to me, I’m quite displeased that he took away my Congming without my permission when he traveled through the Demon Sea. I’m telling you this to retaliate him. If he dares to come after you, I’ll help you.”
Su Han thought for a moment and answered, “Ok!”
Given the poor relationship between the demon kings and the dragon cultivators, Su Han didn’t believe that Lady Zhen knew her mom. However, her information about Qiu Niu was quite believable.
Hao Ren looked at Su Han, surprised that she dared to fight with Qiu Niu, a son of the godly dragon and an ancestor of all dragons.
In fact, he didn’t know Su Han’s personality that well. With a furious roar, Qiu Niu had severely injured Su Han, and she had to spend a long time in the East Ocean Dragon Palace to heal. She only recovered soon after taking Hao Ren’s godly pills.
A grudge was a grudge, no matter if the enemy was powerful or weak. Besides, the item Su Han wanted was indeed in the Nine Dragon Palace, and she could only be sure that she would become a Heavenly Dragon after getting it. These were two good reasons as to why she had to fight with Qiu Niu.
“Hehe… Little Sister Su, you are indeed bold and frank. However, it’s not such a good idea to take Hao with you to the Nine Dragon Palace since he has not reached Dui-level yet,” Lady Zhen continued.
Su Han frowned slightly. There was only one month left until the 25th of August in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. At mid-tier Gen-level now, Hao Ren might not be able to reach Dui-level in one month.
“I have an essence transferring technique, and it will help you if time is not on your side,” Lady Zhen said.
A cultivation technique was suddenly pushed into Su Han’s spiritual senses and was engraved in her mind.
“I must be fair. Hao Ren, I’ll teach you a set of technique as well.” The moment Lady Zhen said it, a few thousand characters rushed into Hao Ren’s mind.
Hao Ren understood it instantly without having to comprehend the characters.
“You are good to your spirit beast, and you didn’t slaughter any demon beasts in the Demon Sea. This Transformation Scroll will tell you how to nurture your spirit beast.”
“Besides, Hao Ren, you have good talent, but you need a powerful dharma treasure. In fact, in the Dragon God Shrine…”
“Lady!” Su Han interrupted Lady Zhen’s words immediately.
“Hehe… I can’t say anything more. It wouldn’t be good if I accidentally destroy the Dragon God Shrine.” Lady Zhen’s voice suddenly vanished from Hao Ren and Su Han’s minds.
