As soon as the Elixir entered his mouth, it transformed into an extremely pure stream of Energy that surged into Xu Hao’s body. The Energy contained within an Elixir that had formed a Pill Cloud far exceeded the limits the Elixir itself could hold. The potent force instantly burst open the wounds on Xu Hao’s body.
"ARGH..." The immense pain made Xu Hao cry out. His body was already battered and broken, and under the assault of such powerful Energy, he was half-dead in an instant.
"Boss!" Seeing Xu Hao’s wretched state, the hearts of the surrounding Qi Refining Sect disciples leaped into their throats.
Seeing this, Shen Haoran didn’t dare to delay. With a light flick of his finger, several streams of pitch-black flame shot out from his hand, enveloping Xu Hao’s body. In his current state, Xu Hao was completely unable to refine the Elixir that had formed a Pill Cloud. Without Shen Haoran’s help, he would only face certain death.
The pitch-black flames enveloped Xu Hao. Shen Haoran focused his mind, allowing the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian to slowly seep into Xu Hao’s body. It wrapped around the vast Spiritual Power rampaging wildly within him and began a frenzied Refinement.
With Shen Haoran’s help, the color returned to Xu Hao’s face. The successfully refined Energy frantically poured into his muscles and bones, beginning to repair his shattered body. As he was nourished by that Energy, the feeling of power he had lost returned to his body once more.
Feeling that sense of power, Xu Hao was ecstatic. ’It seems this Elixir that formed a Pill Cloud can restore my depleted potential!’ At this thought, Xu Hao quickly closed his eyes and cooperated with Shen Haoran, continuously refining the Elixir that had formed a Pill Cloud within his body.
Shen Haoran and Xu Hao quickly entered a state of focus. The pitch-black Fire Spirit Black Obsidian completely enveloped them both. A scorching temperature rose within the cave, and the originally pitch-black cavern was illuminated as if by daylight.
Seeing that Shen Haoran and Xu Hao had entered a state from which they would not awaken for some time, Ling Feng and the others tacitly exited the cave. At this critical juncture, neither Shen Haoran nor Xu Hao could be disturbed. Otherwise, all their efforts would be for naught. Not only would Xu Hao die, but even if Shen Haoran survived, he would be gravely injured.
However, Ling Feng and the others stood guard for a full half-month. During that time, the temperature inside the cave never dropped. By the end, even Ling Feng dared not enter, as the inside had practically become a sea of magma. Under the searing heat of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, the entire cave had doubled in size!
「Half a month later.」
An immense aura suddenly erupted from the once-quiet cave. The entire cavern began to shake violently. Then, with a thunderous roar, the whole cave instantly exploded. Countless boulders went flying. Fortunately, Ling Feng and the others dodged quickly, or they would have been buried under the rubble.
"This aura... it’s Brother Xu’s!" Feeling this aura, the disciples of the Qi Refining Sect exclaimed with joy.
Sure enough, the next moment, a figure shot out from the rubble with a BOOM. It was Xu Hao. At this moment, Xu Hao’s entire body radiated a powerful aura. Even Ling Feng felt an immense pressure from him.
This could be considered a complete transformation for Xu Hao! The Elixir that had formed a Pill Cloud not only completely healed his internal injuries but also fully restored his burned potential. Compared to before, Xu Hao’s potential was now even greater. He had been completely reborn. Even when compared to the disciples of a First-class Sect, the current Xu Hao was definitely not their inferior!
THUD... Xu Hao’s massive body landed on the ground, and everyone felt the earth tremble.
Xu Hao walked quickly toward the group, cradling the unconscious Shen Haoran in his arms.
"What happened to the boss?" Seeing Shen Haoran unconscious, the Qi Refining Sect disciples grew tense.
"It’s nothing. He just overexerted his Spiritual Thought and passed out," Xu Hao said softly, then looked at Shen Haoran with gratitude. For half a month, Shen Haoran hadn’t rested for a single moment while helping him refine that Elixir. Towards the end, he was running on sheer willpower alone. For this, words of gratitude were not enough. Xu Hao simply swore an oath in his heart: from now on, his life belonged to Shen Haoran. If Shen Haoran told him to die, he wouldn’t even frown.
Hearing that Shen Haoran was fine, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. Shen Haoran was their backbone now. If anything were to happen to him, Xu Hao and the others truly wouldn’t know what to do.
While Shen Haoran was unconscious, the group stood guard by his side, never leaving him.
Shen Haoran’s constitution was powerful, on a level Xu Hao couldn’t compare to. After just one day, he slowly woke up. Refining the vast Energy in Xu Hao’s body had consumed a great deal of his Spiritual Thought, but now he had finally recovered.
"Brother Shen, you’re awake?" Seeing Shen Haoran stir, everyone crowded around him.
Shen Haoran looked at the group and nodded lightly. He then slowly stood up and glanced at the aura emanating from Xu Hao. He let out a soft chuckle. ’It seems the effects of that Elixir that formed a Pill Cloud are quite good. The current Xu Hao is now fully qualified to be ranked among the top tier of the Northern Domain’s younger generation. If the current Xu Hao were to fight Feng City again, he could probably kill him in fewer than ten moves!’
"Boss, now that you’re awake and Brother Xu has recovered, where are we going next?" A Qi Refining Sect disciple sidled up and asked, wiggling his eyebrows. With Xu Hao’s strength having taken a qualitative leap and a monster like Shen Haoran on their side, their little squad could swagger around with impunity, as long as they didn’t run into a team from a First-class Sect. So, wasn’t it time to go stir up some trouble?
Seeming to understand the disciple’s thoughts, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. He then mused for a moment before saying, "We should keep a low profile for now. The rest of you are still too weak. Let’s focus on making you stronger first. Next, I plan to look for Wanqing. I haven’t heard any news of her since entering the Secret Realm, and I’m worried she might be in danger."
"Along the way, I’ll help you all improve your strength. At the very least, you’ll have the power to protect yourselves in the struggle for relics!" Shen Haoran said to the group.
Hearing that Shen Haoran was going to give them special training, ecstatic expressions appeared on their faces. They were suddenly filled with eager anticipation.
"Then which way should we go?" Xu Hao asked. ’This Secret Realm is so vast; finding a single person won’t be easy.’
"Toward the depths of the Secret Realm. This time, the Saint Emperor Sect will be everyone’s target. We’ll head in the direction of the Saint Emperor Sect. Even if we don’t run into her on the way, we’ll likely meet her there," Shen Haoran said after a moment of thought.
Having made their decision, the group didn’t linger and set off toward the Saint Emperor Sect in the depths of the Secret Realm...
