Chapter 212 Training with Ah Zi

ted to help Xiao Bai reach a higher level. Sitting on its back and cruising around Mystic Peak, Hao Ren thought to himself.In the meadow, several dozen snow lion cubs all looked up at Xiao Bai flying...Chapter 212: Training with Ah Zi

This can be considered a substantial progress in their current relationship. Su Han and the Lu sisters are both not good at interacting with outsiders. Su Han is cold towards everyone, while the Lu sisters are only warm to Hao Ren.

Little White chirped inside Hao Ren's interspace until he threw a Qi-nourishing Pill into it; after gulping it down, Little White finally quieted down.

The Qi-nourishing Pill isn't the best medicine, but it’s not as common as cabbage either. To raise this little white bird without letting it starve to death and allowing it to grow is indeed a challenge.

After an hour of hot pot eating, it finally came to an end. Lu L琳琳和陸莉莉肯定是第一次吃火鍋，而看蘇涵的樣子，以前好像也冇吃過什麼火鍋。

"According to the information I received, the Western Sea is gradually approaching the influence of the Eastern Sea. It's good that you've tamed a妖獸, but don't neglect your own cultivation." Before leaving, Su Han gave him a warning.

“Alright, I understand,” Hao Ren nodded.

"If there’s anything you’re unsure about, come to me," with a detached gaze, Su Han left.

Liu Linlin opened her mouth, looking at Su Han's back. "Young Master, we want to go home with you!"

“I need some quiet for my修煉; you two can head back on your own,” Hao Ren waved his hand and suddenly felt that Su Han’s words had a deeper meaning.

Seeing the serious look on Hao Ren's face, Lu L琳琳和陸莉莉 no longer pressed him. Following Lu Qing, they were roughly aware of the situation in the Eastern Sea but didn’t want to intervene; they preferred enjoying their peaceful campus life as long as it wasn't related to Hao Ren’s safety.

After eating a Qi-nourishing Pill, Little White was sleeping quietly inside Hao Ren's interspace. Upon returning to his seaside villa by car, Hao Ren let out Little White for some relaxation while he focused on修煉inside the house.

The opening of the dragon aperture is both easy and difficult. Absorbing the spiritual energy from the天地and concentrating it in the body until it reaches a certain concentration, leading to the natural opening of the dragon pearl's aperture, is one method; shooting混沌sword qi into the clouds to bring back thunder power for self-transcendence is another.

Compared to these two methods, the first lays a solid foundation and is relatively safe. The second enhances功力through forceful amplification but carries more risks. If it triggers heavenly lightning, it would be counterproductive. After careful consideration, Hao Ren still wanted to wait until he reached the震level before officially starting with the Thunder Dao method of the Sword Light Splitting Image Technique.

After being released from the interspace and having eaten a Qi-nourishing Pill, Little White was even more spirited than before. In its snow lion form, it ran around freely in the spacious living room.

"Zzzz,"郝仁床邊的手機震動了。

他拿起手機，發現是趙紅玉打來的號碼。

“喂，伯母？”

“我們從龍宮裡出來了，在海邊。順便接你一起回市區吧。”趙紅玉在電話中說道。

“好。”郝仁很想瞭解趙闊的情況，於是冇有耽擱，立即把小自招了上來，收進項鍊裡，然後動身走向海邊。

果然，趙廣一家已經在海邊的岩礁邊等候。

“三叔的情況怎麼樣？”郝仁走過去直接開口問道。

“回去再說吧。”趙廣招手示意他們上車。

趙紅玉和趙焰紫的臉色都有些沉重，郝仁的心裡也微微沉了下來。

一輛黑色的雪弗萊停在海邊不遠處的地方。

“這幾天過的怎麼樣？”一上車，趙紅玉就問郝仁。

“還可以吧。”郝仁回答說。其實這幾天他也很擔心趙闊，隻是東海內部人員正在處理這個事情，他也不想親自再去打擾龍宮。

“這幾天我們忙著處理內部的事情，卻忘了派人保護你。不過好在你平安無事。”趙紅玉欣慰地點點頭。

趙焰紫冇有說話，望著窗外的景色。車速很快，不一會兒就回到了市區，回到趙焰紫家裡。

四人進入屋內，在客廳的沙發上坐下來。

趙焰紫臉色暗淡，雖然她這幾天冇去上課，但一直在龍宮裡照顧她的三叔，肯定也是累壞了。

"Regarding Zhao Kuo's situation, we have announced to the outside that he successfully passed his celestial tribulation. Therefore, in these few days, apart from formulating plans with a few core elders, I also had to oversee the celebration ceremony, hence why I couldn't get back to you sooner," Zhao Guang said as he sat down on a sofa alone.

Haoren thought about how they not only continuously convened elder meetings to discuss external policies but also held celebratory activities despite Zhao Kuo's severe injuries. It was clear that both mentally and physically, they were extremely exhausted.

"During the celebration ceremony, Zhao Kuo appeared in a victorious manner as well, so at this moment, everyone believes he successfully passed his celestial tribulation. Now, only the most loyal soldiers and core elders of the Dragon Palace know the truth, including you," Zhao Guang continued.

He was very straightforward about these matters, treating Haoren not like an outsider but as someone in the inner circle. -Daily 08-

Haoren nodded calmly, clearly understanding the current tense situation. "After this few days of celebratory ceremonies, Zhao Kuo's body has mostly recovered, and he plans to leave the Dragon Palace for external cultivation," Zhao Hongyu said.

"External cultivation" Haoren thought about it before saying, "By doing so, on one hand, he aims to enhance his strength; on the other, it's to avoid exposing any weaknesses, making others believe that he has broken through to the Divine Dragon Realm and is traveling around."

“Yes, your thoughts are clear," Zhao Hongyu praised Haoren, "Zhao Kuo plans to start cultivating from scratch. He intends to revisit all the places he had experienced before.”

Zhao Hongyu's words made Haoren admire Zhao Kuo even more.

Having lost all his strength after two hundred years of unremitting efforts and hopes, if anyone else would have collapsed in confidence. Yet, as soon as Zhao Kuo's body recovered, he immediately resumed his path of cultivation!

"As the saying goes, only by breaking can one innovate. After this ordeal, Zhao Zi’s uncle has come to terms with his shame and is determined to strive forward; it may not be such a bad thing," Zhao Guang said.

Haoren nodded, but instead of thinking about the current situation in the East Sea, he was more concerned about the scene when Zhao Kuo left the Dragon Palace. He wondered what emotions the Star and Moon Elder must have felt as they watched him depart...

"I brought you here today to inform you about Zhao Kuo’s condition, but also because there is another matter I need your advice on," Zhao Guang suddenly said while looking at Haoren.

“Oh What is it” Haoren met Zhao Guang's gaze. Zhaoyan Zi sat beside Haoren and straightened up.

"Zhao Kuo passing the celestial tribulation is a great joy for all four seas, so the Four Seas Dragon Palaces have decided to activate the Nine Dragon Palaces as a sign of celebration and encouragement for younger generations to work hard on their cultivation," Zhao Guang explained.

Seeing Haoren's puzzled expression, Zhao Guang immediately added, "The Nine Dragon Palaces are ancient dragon palaces from the era of Great Chaos, also the origin place of our Four Seas Dragon Clan. These palaces are managed collectively by the Four Seas Dragon Palaces and hover in mid-air; only when all four seas' dragon palaces activate their arrays will this ancient palace appear."

Avoidance Divine Temple Haoren was slightly surprised inside.

Zhao Guang continued, "The Nine Dragon Palace opens every fifty years. This time, it's only been J year since the last opening, which is an exception made to celebrate Zhao Kuo's successful tribulation crossing."

"Was this proposed by West Sea" Hao Ren asked.

“Mm.” Zhao Guang nodded.

Hao Ren said, "This move by the West Sea is also quite clever. Since we claimed that Uncle Three successfully crossed his tribulation, they're encouraging all four seas to open up the Nine Dragon Palace for celebration. The Nine Dragon Palace is akin to a temple of ancestor worship for the sea dragon clans, so it’s like an act of paying homage to their forebears. If in the future, Uncle Three's failure to cross his tribulation comes out, we, the East Sea, will bear the blame for fraud and face immense pressure."

Zhao Guang's eyes immediately brightened a little; he didn't expect Hao Ren's mind to be so clear.

"Your analysis is very correct. However, if Zhao Kuo fails his tribulation crossing, we in the East Sea are also at a disadvantage and can only take things as they come. The good news is that with Zhao Kuo intact and going out to travel again, he can at least create an illusion of success, preventing other palaces from acting rashly. Now what's most important isn't pondering about how things will unfold in the future but ensuring we don’t return empty-handed from our trip to the Nine Dragon Palace."

The previously taciturn Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren earnestly, with a tone that made it seem like he was putting all his hopes on Hao Ren.

"Ren will stay here tonight. We'll head to the assembly point early tomorrow morning," Zhao Hongyu interjected. "The Nine Dragon Palace can only accommodate eight people each time it opens—two per dragon palace. The age limit for those entering is no more than a hundred years, so all four dragon palaces must select their young talents. After discussion in our East Sea, we've decided that you and Ah Zi will participate."

"Ah Zi" Hao Ren hesitated; the current Ah Zi lacks a Dragon Pellet and is almost like an ordinary girl.

“Yes. The Nine Dragon Palace only opens every fifty years for just three hours each time, so besides the main hall for ancestor worship, all other places are still in朦朧之中。這座上古的龍宮中遺落著許多古老的寶物，也生長著許多如今人世間難以尋覓的珍貴草藥。對於年輕一代來說，這是一個非常好的機會，說不定就能得到某種靈丹，一口氣突破三四個境界。所以，雖然說是優秀青年才俊可以參加，但實際上四大龍宮基本都會選擇自己的嫡係晚輩。”趙紅玉說道。

郝仁點點頭表示明白了。阿紫雖弱但有資格進入九龍宮，趙廣和趙紅玉會儘力讓她進去的。說不定遇到某種機緣，阿紫就能自動恢複龍丹；就算這個無法實現，也許還有其他的機緣能讓阿紫得到一些好處。

每隔幾十年一次的大聚會，龍宮領袖肯定會優先照顧自己的子女，畢竟他們將來是要繼承龍宮的。

"具體注意事項，在明天進入九龍宮之前我再跟你交代。現在也不早了，你們都上去休息吧。"趙紅玉望著郝仁和趙焰紫說道。

“嗯！”郝仁回頭看看阿紫，從沙發上站起來。

趙焰紫哼了一聲，好像對跟郝仁搭檔很不滿，噔噔噔地跑上了樓梯。

Translated, while retaining the original HTML structure:

Hao Ren nodded to show that he understood. Although Ah Zi is weak, she has the qualifications to enter the Nine Dragon Palace, and Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu will do their best for her to participate. Maybe through some kind of opportunity, Ah Zi could automatically restore her Dragon Pellet; even if this isn't possible, there might be other opportunities that would allow her to gain benefits.

Every few decades, during the major gatherings, dragon palace leaders definitely prioritize their own children since they're the future inheritors of the dragon palaces.

"Specific details and precautions will be explained to you before entering the Nine Dragon Palace tomorrow. It's getting late now; all of you should go up and rest," Zhao Hongyu said, looking at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.

“Alright!” Hao Ren turned to look at Ah Zi and stood up from the sofa.

Ah Zi huffed in displeasure as if she wasn't satisfied with partnering with Hao Ren. She then hurriedly ran up the stairs, her footsteps echoing on the staircase.e point means to have more say!Hao Ren lightly jumped up and smoothly executed the basic boxing style.
