Chapter 518: Treasures!
"It is your relatives..." Hao Ren was about to say it out loud, but he shut himself up.
"Look at these..." Su Han's hands landed on Hao Ren's back for a while, took a few things out, and put them in front of him.
Three spiritual herbs that were black and looked like fish bones, a bronze half-man-tall longbow, and a small blue pearl.
"Uh..." Hao Ren was speechless. He was busy fleeing just now and didn't even know that these items were entangled with him.
Now that he thought about it. Would these be gifts from the level 10 demon beast?
The three Black Dragon Bone Grasses were the ones that Su Han picked up and dropped, the demonic bow was the one that Hao Ren liked but didn't dare to take, and was this pearl... the compensation from that level 10 demon beast? Was it because it finally knew that Su Han was with Hao Ren?
Hao Ren was suddenly confused as well.
"This pearl is the most valuable one, and I'll take it," Su Han didn't bother to be courteous with Hao Ren, and she took the pearl.
This pearl was extraordinarily pretty and even more beautiful than all the jewelry in the mortal world. However, Su Han took it not because of the female instincts of wanting to be pretty, but because this Blue Water Pearl was a high-quality metal-fire elemental treasure of nature. It was better than the Snow Crystal Coral that Su Han was looking for.
According to this inference, that level 10 demon beast probably gave Hao Ren this pearl to make up for its fault of attacking Su Han.
"Thanks a lot," Su Han added.
She wanted to find Snow Crystal Corals but didn't expect that she could obtain the legendary Blue Water Pearl. She thought it would be worth it to get hit by that level 10 demon beast a few more times if it was going to compensate her more.
Blue Water Pearl could not only increase the quality of natal dharma treasures but also assist in cultivation.
Su Han's facial expression was calm, but she was so happy that she almost hugged Hao Ren. In this world, there was nothing that could make her as happy as improving her realm.
"Oh, you can take it if you like," Hao Ren nodded and said.
Hao Ren didn't mind that Su Han took it out of affection. He was worried that Su Han would scold him for hugging her. However, he didn't know that Su Han was extremely delighted at the moment.
"Thanks!" Su Han put the Blue Water Pearl away, and her impression of Hao Ren increased a lot.
Su Han's secretly excited appearance was similar to a woman who received a diamond ring from her loved one. She was excited but had to keep calm at the same time.
In fact, Su Han was anxious when Hao Ren re-entered the Demon Sea, and she suddenly felt like Hao Ren was much more powerful than her expectation when he came out successfully. This Blue Water Pearl's represented way more than a diamond ring.
Hao Ren didn't even know about Su Han's thoughts in a short moment. He put three Black Dragon Bone Grasses away, grabbed the bronze demonic bow, and observed it in detail.
The material was similar to bronze, and the bow shone under the sun once it left the waters. The middle of the longbow, which was the handle used for gripping, was engraved with three ancient characters: Sky-Breaking Bow.
The name sounds very powerful, but no one knew how mighty it was.
"The Demon Sea is where demon beasts gather and the place with the most abundant nature essence. Numerous cultivators surrounded the demon beasts in the Demon Sea in the past to fight for this territory, but they all failed. This longbow seemed to have some age and should be the dharma treasure left by a great cultivator. It can't be compared with the primitive treasures in the Nine Dragon Palace, but its strength isn't weak either."
Su Han told Hao Ren when she saw him studying this longbow.
"I'll try it out for you," Su Han was in an excellent mood. She took the demonic bow from Hao Ren's hands, used nature essence, and pulled the bowstring.
However, she couldn't move the bowstring no matter how hard she tried.
Su Han squinted her eyes and put in more nature essence, but this demonic bow remained motionless.
"Let me give it a try..." Seeing Su Han moving her shoulders around, Hao Ren couldn't help but say that to her.
"Fine, you can give it a try," Su Han's mood suddenly turned bad, and she put the demonic bow in Hao Ren's hands.
She wanted to see what method Hao Ren had to use a bow that she couldn't even pull.
Hao Ren received the longbow from Su Han and put his right hand on the bowstring.
The bowstring of this demonic bow was made by a material that was similar to a copper wire. Hao Ren used all his strength and couldn't even move it by an inch.
At Gen-level, Hao Ren could easily lift a few hundred kilograms with one hand. However, he could not pull the bowstring no matter how hard he tried. It was obvious how solid this demonic bow was.
"This is a dharma treasure left by a great cultivator from the past, so you can't use it that easily," Su Han said; it was for herself to feel better as well.
"Probably," Hao Ren smiled.
Suddenly he had a feeling and put the hundun energy into the demonic bow.
All five-elemental nature essences flowed into the longbow and made Hao Ren feel like he was controlling this dharma treasure completely
Bong... The longbow made a light, crisp sound and could finally be pulled.
The hundun energy included the five-elemental nature essences, which were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. All dharma treasures couldn't avoid these five elements. Hao Ren utilized his hundun energy to control dharma treasures again and again.
Su Han widened her eyes, rubbed her nose with her finger, and said, "How are you going to try it without having an arrow?"
"I have," Hao Ren replied as a sword energy shot out from Hao Ren's fingertip and landed on the longbow.
Su Han's eyes widened again as she looked at Hao Ren with surprise. She didn't expect Hao Ren to use his sword energy to test the power of the demonic bow.
"This guy is smart," Su Han couldn't help but think.
Whoosh!
The sword energy utilized the demonic bow's power and shot out quickly.
Hao Ren's sword energy created two water walls on the surface of the sea and immediately disappeared in Hao Ren and Su Han's visions. Hao Ren himself couldn't even sense the sword energy before it left Hao Ren's sensing zone!
This was only a part of the power of this demonic bow!
Seeing this, Su Han was utterly speechless. A Qian-level master like her wasn't even as good as Hao Ren!
"It's so powerful!" Hao Ren had never tried bows and arrows before. Three sword energies appeared in his hand again, and they were put on the demonic bow.
There were six arrow grooves on the back of the demonic bow. This meant that the demonic bow could at most shoot six arrows at once.
Hao Ren aimed at a distant sea region.
There weren't any East Ocean soldiers on site, and it was a safe zone.
Three sword energies drew out three rays of glorious lights before dashing away.
Bam!
The sea that was originally calm suddenly quaked and created enormous waves. The power almost shattered the clouds in the sky!
The shocking sound even made Hao Ren's chest feel stuffed.
A few East Ocean generals couldn't even stand still, and the military camps that were just built collapsed in an instant.
"Commanding General! Commanding General!" Five to six golden-armored generals rushed out from the ocean and cupped their hands at Hao Ren from afar.
"If Commanding General could..." They didn't finish speaking, but what they were going to say was clear.
"Okay, I'll switch to a different place!" Hao Ren said with a smile.
Obviously, all the generals nearby knew that Hao Ren was practicing here.
"Thank you for understanding, Commanding General!" The golden-armored generals cupped their hand and replied.
It was East Ocean's fortune that Hao Ren's strength was powerful. However, how could ordinary soldiers and generals endure Hao Ren's bombardment? Although they were a few kilometers away, every single one of them was dizzy.
Hao Ren flew up on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and quickly left East Ocean's sea region. The golden-armored generals looked at each other, wiped their sweat, and returned to their camps at the bottom of the ocean.
"You've got a great reputation!" Standing on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, Su Han said to Hao Ren in a little jealous tone.
"Not really...," Hao Ren shook his head.
Su Han observed Hao Ren's side face and got absorbed. Her gaze blurred out gradually.
Hao Ren, whom she didn't expect to do well, now successfully leveled up to mid-tier Gen-level and negotiated with a level 10 demon beast.
Also, Hao Ren could easily use the demonic bow that she couldn't...
The Hao Ren in front of her right now wasn't the same Hao Ren she knew from before...
"Is it possible that he is really strong..." An unconfirmed question appeared in Su Han's mind.
"Where are we heading next?" Hao Ren turned suddenly turned his head and asked Su Han.
Su Han, who was caught in deep thought, refocused quickly, and her face turned cold again.
"I'm going to refine my natal dharma treasure. Let's go to the Dragon God Shrine."
"You don't need my help, do you?" Hao Ren asked.
"No need!" Su Han replied immediately.
One must completely integrate with his or her natal dharma treasure. This also meant that in the process...
It was only a process of cultivation, and Su Han never felt that there was a problem with it. Yet, she blushed slightly when Hao Ren asked that question.
Steering the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, Hao Ren didn't pay attention to Su Han and saw the blush.
"Has Xie Yujia returned yet?" After a few seconds of silence, Su Han suddenly asked.
"She should be back soon since school starts next week," Hao Ren said.
East Ocean University's final exams took two weeks, and that was why its summer break started earlier than other universities. Because of that, their semester also began earlier.
"Um." Su Han thought for a while and said, "I changed my mind. I'll wait until Xie Yujia comes back to refine my sword."
Even though the suite in the Dragon God Shrine was a sealed space and needed the corresponding token to open it, Su Han still felt insecure. While refining her natal dharma treasure, there was a process that required no obstacles between the body and the natal dharma treasure. If anyone rushed inside during the process...
"Sigh..." Hao Ren thought that women's thoughts were very capricious.
However, since Su Han's realm was far higher than his, Hao Ren didn't dare to complain. He controlled the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and turned back.
"Allegedly, dharma treasures from ancient times are capable of changing sizes. You can try it," Su Han reminded Hao Ren.
Hao Ren, who hung the longbow beside his hand, heard it and tried to use his nature essence again.
The demonic bow shrunk bit by bit and turned into the size of half a thumb and lied in Hao Ren's hand like a bronze ornament.
"It's capable of enlarging and shrinking freely..." Suddenly, Hao Ren thought of a legendary treasure.
"What are you teaching next semester?" Hao Ren thought for a bit and asked Su Han suddenly.
