Chapter 486: The Trading Center on Fifth Heaven
"Yujia..." Hao Ren rushed to the stairs and turned around immediately to stand in front of Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren, and then she tightened her lips and went to her room.
"Yujia." Hao Ren reached out his hand, trying to stop her.
Xie Yujia didn't pause her steps. Therefore, her soft belly ran into Hao Ren's arm.
"My parents just want you to stay for a bit longer. Why are you saying no to that?" Xie Yujia pouted and felt a bit upset.
She didn't have too much expectation for Hao Ren. All she wanted from him was for him to spend some time with her parents.
After all, she had been staying at his home for a while and was taken good care of by his parents, so she figured that it was time for her parents to look after him in return.
As for the trip around the U.S. and Canada, she didn't really care about that.
Xie Ming and Cheng Qian had cared for Hao Ren when he was a child.
Xie Ming and Cheng Qian tried to run some businesses in those days, so Xie Yujia's family was more well-off. On the contrary, the financial situation of Hao Ren's family was quite tight since Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were only focusing on scientific research.
Luckily, Xie Ming always helped out Hao Zhonghua and brought Hao Ren snacks and toys as if Hao Ren was his own child.
Sometimes when Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were too occupied with their research that they didn't have time to take care of Hao Ren, Xie Ming and Cheng Qian would take Hao Ren back to their home and let little Yujia and little Ren sleep under the same blanket.
Today, Hao Ren flatly refused Xie Yujia's parents' sincere invitation, which really upset Xie Yujia.
It wouldn't be a big deal to her if Hao Ren hurt her feelings, but he hurt her parents'.
As someone who could never think that detailed, it was impossible for Hao Ren to figure out what was on Xie Yujia's mind.
All he knew was that Xie Yujia was in a bad mood. Therefore, he touched her arm and said, "I know your parents are very nice, but I have something really important going on in the summer."
"What?" Xie Yujia looked up at Hao Ren with her watery eyes.
"Zi's Third Uncle wants to tutor me on cultivation, which might take over a month," Hao Ren said.
"Zi's Third Uncle?" Xie Yujia wrinkled her pretty nose and faintly remembered how incredible Zhao Kuo was during the battle with Hao Ren at the Dragon God Shrine.
Hao Ren stared at Xie Yujia, trying to figure out her reaction.
Xie Yujia raised her head with a slight pout. She looked quite adorable from such a close angle.
"Fine. Since he is willing to teach you, you should try to learn from him," Xie Yujia said.
She used to cultivate from scratch by herself. Therefore, the results were never satisfactory.
However, many of her issues had been solved after Su Han offered to tutor her, and she elevated a lot faster.
Therefore, she understood how much of a difference it would make when someone had guidance. Although Su Han only taught her for a couple of days, her cultivation speed increased over three or four times. Hao Ren would level up even faster if Zhao Kuo could guide him continuously for a month.
Xie Yujia was sincere and didn't try to act at all when she said those words.
"Alright." Hao Ren didn't beat around the bush and nodded.
"He is really simple-minded. He isn't even trying to comfort me further," Xie Yujia thought as she looked at Hao Ren, feeling powerless.
"I'll go to Fifth Heaven with Little White in a bit. Are you coming?" Hao Ren asked.
"I'm not going. I want to spend more time talking with my parents since I just got home tonight." Slightly lowering her head, Xie Yujia opened the door to her bedroom and answered.
Underneath her silky black hair, her beautiful neck gave out a soft luster.
Hao Ren lowered his head and smiled as he looked at her figure.
Xie Yujia turned around and said suddenly, "The room my parents prepared for you is next door, and the bathroom is down this way."
"Ok." Hao Ren gave her a slight smile.
"Leave Little White with me before you go back. I have to take care of the spiritual herbs on Fifth Heaven." Xie Yujia added.
All the anger on her face had disappeared, and she was as sweet and soft as she used to be.
"Ok." Hao Ren couldn't help smiling.
"Humph..." Xie Yujia stared at him before closing the bedroom door.
Hao Ren went into his room while lightly slapping his face. "No one could be as considerate as Yujia."
Whoosh...
Little White couldn't wait anymore. It jumped out of the storage space instantly as Hao Ren got in his room.
It looked around the room anxiously while shaking its butt, which made it apparent to Hao Ren as to what it wanted to do.
"No, not now!" Hao Ren rushed to grab the bag on the table and covered Little White with it.
Poop...
As soon as Hao Ren finished his words, Little White's golden poop came out of its butt and fell into the bag that Hao Ren was holding.
Hao Ren felt disgusted even though it wasn't stinky...
However, the poop was the perfect fertilizer for the spiritual herbs, which couldn't be thrown away...
"You damn dog! Go to Fifth Heaven!" Hao Ren slapped it on the head.
"Eh..." Little White felt aggrieved and started to wail.
Based on its strength, it was strong enough to beat Hao Ren. However, it didn't have the gut to fight back...
"Stop pretending..." Hao Ren slapped it on the head again. "Let's go to Fifth Heaven!"
"Ruff... Ruff..." Little White jumped out the window and transformed into its snow lion form with a red energy sphere around it.
It was already a level 2 spirit beast, and it wasn't dumb. It already learned how to create the red energy sphere from Zhen Congming, which was a basic technique.
Hao Ren also jumped out of the window and sat on Little White's back. Then, they flew to Fifth Heaven.
A streak of golden light appeared in the east and flew toward Hao Ren.
Buzz... Buzz... The inspector's token on Hao Ren's waist started to vibrate, and he instantly realized that the person flying toward him was also an inspector.
Soon, that person also realized that Hao Ren was an inspector, so he circled around and flew back to the corner in the east.
"There are inspectors even in New York," Hao Ren thought and flew to Second Heaven while sitting on Little White.
However, it wasn't something that was unbelievable.
Since there were many inspectors all around the world, it wouldn't be strange to see some in a big city like New York. Even Qin Shaoyang had traveled to Europe for a few years before.
Since Xie Yujia would be living in New York for a while, she would be monitored by the inspectors in New York. However, she had the mark on her shoulder which was left by old Grandma, so there would be no inspector who dared to take the risk and bother her.
Whoosh...
Little White created a multicolor streak of light in the red energy sphere and flew toward Fifth Heaven.
The area between Second and Fifth Heaven was where dragon cultivators and human cultivators could meet.
Among the human cultivators who were hanging around, there was no one brave enough to get close to them.
Since Hao Ren didn't have any interest in dealing with these people, he and Little White just flew to Fifth Heaven directly.
Bang... Hao Ren broke through the fragile array formation, and the air filled with nature essence caressed his face.
Clouds and fogs were everywhere on Fifth Heaven.
There was still some distance from where Hao Ren and Little White entered to Ethereal Summit.
Spirit beasts were good at looking for directions. Moreover, Little White had been trained by Zhen Congming, which made it even more impossible for them to get lost.
They flew over many summits, but not one single sect dared to stop them.
Little White's speed was equivalent to the speed of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Whoever wanted to block a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator on Fifth Heaven was looking for death.
Bang!
Little White flew into Ethereal Summit while carrying Hao Ren on its back, and a streak of white light was left wherever Little White flew by.
The spiritual herbs in the valley seemed like they changed a bit after a few days. Hao Ren opened the bag in his hand and poured it into the field.
Little White's poop fell into the middle of the field bit by bit. Its poop was the perfect fertilizer for the spiritual herbs since it could give the herbs over ten-year of energy.
"Go to the valley!" Hao Ren threw away the bag and slapped Little White on its head.
Little White flew to the valley aggrievedly.
Hao Ren noticed that there were more messages left on the bulletin board at the entrance of the valley, but most of them were messages that were asking for elixir pills or wanting to trade elixir pills, dharma treasures, and cultivation techniques.
Hao Ren didn't need any of them and ignored them.
However, there was one message that drew Hao Ren's attention.
"Three ten-thousand-year golden trees for 30 Beauty Pills."
Since this spiritual herb could be used for cultivating the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus, Hao Ren was thrilled.
He went back to the valley while stepping on his sword energy.
He entered the Treasure Light Pavilion and found a jade board snatched by Zhao Yanzi before and a red pen.
He then went back to the entrance of the valley and switched the small piece of wooden board on the stone wall with the jade board.
Hao Ren didn't expect the short message he left on the board at the entrance of the valley would spread so fast.
Right now, the board was covered with all kinds of information, and many of the characters couldn't be seen.
"Three ten-thousand-year golden trees for 30 Beauty Pills." Hao Ren copied the words down onto the jade board using the pen and added the word, filled, at the end.
"30 level 4 Foundation Establishment Pills for two ten-thousand-year black herbs." Hao Ren revised the original exchange information; he lowered the number of spiritual herbs and elixir pills.
Afterward, he marked a star at the end which indicated that the information was important.
The red pen wrote the characters, and they stood out even more on the white jade board.
After thinking for a while, Hao Ren laid his finger on the jade board and released a sword energy which left a neat and thin line in the middle.
Host, Guest.
Hao Ren used his finger and left two words on the board, one on the top and the other one under the thin line.
In ancient time, even the top martial art masters would have a hard time leaving marks on jade with their fingers. However, Hao Ren just did it without any difficulty. He could now be considered as an immortal by mortals.
On top, there was the buying information from Ethereal Summit. On the bottom, there were the requests from the outside cultivators.
Now, the information was obvious at one glance.
Whoosh, whoosh... Hao Ren drew a vertical straight line down the middle
On the left were the items that were being offered, and on the right were what were being sought after.
Hao Ren looked at the jade board with satisfaction and brought Little White back into Ethereal Summit.
What he didn't expect was that the formal format he randomly left here created the first trading center on Fifth Heaven.
It was later rumored that Nascent Soul Realm cultivators liked in the valley, which made it impossible for anyone to erase information from other cultivators! Controlled operations, private management, and a monopoly!
All the cultivation resources would be gathered here!
