Chapter 217: Such a Slim Waist!

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
In a little while, there were already over 20 bottles on Zhao Yanzi’s family’s living room table.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the colorful bottles in the light.
“These… Are all from the Nine Dragon Palace?” Zhao Hongyu was usually calm, but her voice slightly shook as she asked lightly.
“Yes… We could have gotten more, but we ran out of time,” Hao Ren said.
“23 bottles…” Zhao Guang was a little amazed too. He picked up a random bottle and brought over a small plate. Then, he opened the bottle and poured the elixir pills out of it.
Splash… Over ten shining Ancient Elixir Pills fell into the plate, twirling.
The large living room was immediately filled with their aroma!
Hao Ren felt a surge of energy after smelling this aroma. The sleeping Dragon Core inside of him suddenly broke open 12 openings!
The aroma alone was insane! If he were to swallow one, he might be able to break through Li-level or even Zhen-level!
In the legends, the Immortal Pills of the Queen Mother of the West could assist an ordinary person to achieve ascendance realm!
“I’m feeling dizzy, Mom!” Zhao Yanzi shouted out. The aroma could help Hao Ren improve his cultivation, but it was too much for her.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu looked at each other, stupefied. Since they realized that there were Ancient Elixir Pills in these beautiful bottles, they hastily put the elixir pills back into the bottle.
It would have created trouble if the elixir pills caused a natural phenomenon.
It was the first time Zhao Yanzi saw her parents panic like this. She blinked and asked, “These elixir pills are that powerful, Mom?”
“One bottle equals an ancient treasure. In other words, you guys took back 23 ancient treasures!” Zhao Hongyu pinched Zhao Yanzi’s cheek and said in excitement.
Zhao Yanzi looked happy with Zhao Hongyu’s answer. “Mom, I told you that we would get a lot of treasures! If it weren’t for the time limit, we could have made a few copies of the techniques in Baxia Palace.”
“What? You went to Baxia Palace?” Zhao Hongyu’s astonishment was beyond words.
Zhao Guang also looked at Zhao Yanzi in surprise, wondering if she was lying or not.
“Yes. We went to Yazi Palace first, but the other three teams were there. So, we went to Baxia Palace. However, it was challenging to get the techniques. Therefore, we went over to Suanni Palace and got these elixir pills,” Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi explained.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu knew that Zhao Yanzi wasn’t bluffing since Hao Ren agreed. However, they looked as surprised as before.
They had never heard of anyone going through three palaces in the Nine Dragon Palace and coming out with 23 bottles of elixir pills. There were over ten elixir pills in each bottle; altogether, there would be hundreds of shiny Ancient Elixir Pills!
“It is because of Little White. We might not even be able to get to first branch palace if Little White couldn’t fly,” Zhao Yanzi said.
“Little White?” Zhao Hongyu asked.
“Um! Uncle’s… Oh… Hao Ren’s Spirit Beast,” Zhao Yanzi said. It seemed like she had gotten used to calling Hao Ren ‘Uncle.’ She called him by this even during the most dangerous time when they were kicked out of the Nine Dragon Palace.
Hao Ren let Little White out of the space in his necklace. It had learned to behave and appeared in the form of its smaller self in the city.
“Transform, Little White!” Zhao Yanzi reached out to rub its head.
“Woof!”
Little White made a slight sound as it rolled over into a meter-tall Snow Lion.
“Little White, fly!” Zhao Yanzi pointed at the ceiling. It appeared as if she had already taken Little White for a circus animal.
Little White understood Zhao Yanzi and hopped up. But to her surprise, it didn’t fly up.
“Fly, Little White!” Zhao Yanzi patted its bum, worried.
“Roar! Roar!” Little White tried its best, but it couldn’t get into the air. Its paws sparkled from time to time as it had reached its limit.
“I know! There was plenty of Nature Essence in the Nine Dragon Palace so that the Spirit Beasts could bring their innate power into play. However, the Nature Essence is thin outside, so it can’t put its innate power to use,” Zhao Guang looked at Little White and said.
Little White looked at Zhao Guang and Hao Ren as it appeared to be embarrassed with everyone around it.
It probably felt ashamed for not being able to fly. Having failed at playing the powerful character, Little White transformed back to its small size and started rolling around on the floor.
Hao Ren was embarrassed. “Hey… Please… You are a giant lion. Save the energy and quit acting cute.”
Hao Ren put Little White back into the space in his necklace to save it from the embarrassment. As soon as Little White got back into the space, it bit onto Zeng Yitao’s spear and whipped it around to vent its anger. That poor Natal Dharma Treasure of Zeng Yitao was now a toy for Little White.
“Don’t tell anyone about the elixir pills,” Zhao Guang put the bottles away and said, “I will discuss with the elders about how to put these elixir pills to use. After all, these are all Ancient Elixir Pills, and we might not be able to consume them directly.”
Hao Ren nodded. It was like when Zhao Jiayi and the guys ate the cakes mixed with Essence Replenishment Pills made by the twin sisters. The power was too strong, and it gave diarrhea to all of them. Even ordinary cultivators might die if they weren’t able to handle powerful elixir pills.
“But don’t you worry, Ren. You are the hero this time; as soon as we figure out how to use them properly, I will give half of them back to you,” Zhao Guang continued.
“That’s ok. It was lucky for me to get the opportunity to enter the Nine Dragon Palace. East Ocean is in a critical situation right now, and the elders need the elixir pills more than I do. I am still low in level, so I need to cultivate more rather than using elixir pills,” Hao Ren said.
“Um.” Zhao Guang didn’t insist and put the bottles away. “Come with me to the attic. I need to make some detailed record of what happened in the Nine Dragon Palace. Since you could get into three palaces this time, we can better improve our record. Especially for Baxia Palace; we had never learned about those techniques before.”
It was clear that Zhao Guang was very interested in ancient techniques.
“Ok!” Hao Ren stood up and followed Zhao Guang upstairs.
Hao Ren took the map out when they got to the attic on the third floor. He explained what they did in the six hours inside Nine Dragon Palace in detail.
Zhao Hongyu came to the attic after a little while as well. Since she was an architect, she added onto Hao Ren’s map with a special set of rulers and pens.
No amendment was needed for the Origin Dragon Grand Palace since it was the same as before. Yazi Palace was the one that was the easiest to be found, so there were very detailed descriptions about it on the map. One of the cultivators from South Ocean went into the Suanni Palace before, and East Ocean was able to gather some information about it. However, it was somewhat unclear. This was the first time they learned about Baxia Palace. There were giant stone monuments inside Baxia Palace, and that was very importation information.
From five o’clock to seven o’clock, Zhao Guang jotted down every single detail as Zhao Hongyu made accurate adjustments to the map. Although it was a big surprise for them to get over 20 bottles of elixir pills, it was equally important to gather precious information.
The most important thing was that all other three Dragon Palaces thought Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi escaped and never went to other palaces after Yazi Palace, and that was why they came back empty-handed. They could never imagine that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi would obtain over 20 bottles of elixir pills as well as get information about three palaces!
As Hao Ren explained everything in detail, Zhao Hongyu admired his attention to details. He thought of counting his own steps in order to calculate the distance from the starting spot to Origin Dragon Grand Palace. From that, he calculated the approximate travel time needed. None of the previous cultivators including herself had thought of this brilliant idea!
Although Hao Ren’s cultivation wasn’t very strong at the moment, his intelligence would for sure allow East Ocean to prosper!
The seemingly weak Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll he had been cultivating required him to cultivate all five elements at the same time. However, it demonstrated its strength in the Nine Dragon Palace! Hao Ren didn’t rely on any Dharma Treasure but his own Nature Essence! His hundun sword energies were very similar to the innate power of the people in prehistoric times!
The biggest difficulty in the Nine Dragon Palace was that the cultivators couldn’t ride swords or use Dharma Treasures. Even the five elements were heavily restrained. Little White and his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll were able to solve these problems easily.
Zhao Hongyu put the map away and looked at Hao Ren. As she saw more and more of his potential, she praised her own judgment in choosing her son-in-law.
“Stay here for the night?” She put the map in her Xumi Ring and asked Hao Ren.
“I should go back to school. It’s not very good to always stay out,” Hao Ren answered.
Zhao Hongyu respected Hao Ren’s decision and nodded gently.
After Hao Ren walked out of the attic, Zhao Hongyu turned to Zhao Guang after some quietness. “What do you think about Ren?”
“Um, he is thoughtful and patient with great potential.” Zhao Guang confirmed Hao Ren’s ability.
“I’ve always thought that Ren is a great addition to East Ocean. He got over 20 bottles of elixir pills for East Ocean at its most difficult time. There’s hope for East Ocean to recover after all,” Zhao Hongyu said.
“A person’s ability doesn’t have to depend on how powerful he is; it depends on how he deals with problems and different relationships. There are many super powerful cultivators around Ren, and each of them has the ability to flip East Ocean City over. However, he is able to coordinate them and make sure that all the relationships are okay; this is talent,” Zhao Guang said calmly.
Zhao Hongyu smiled lightly. “It sounds like our Zi is not good enough for him. Hehe, hope he can keep little Daoist Zhen in check as well.”
Hao Ren got back to his room on the second floor and changed into his normal clothes from the robe. He was worried about being absent from an entire day’s worth of classes.
He went to Zhao Yanzi’s room next. After he slowly opened the door, he found her doing her homework at the desk. After a day of adventure, she still needed to go to school as usual tomorrow.
She had probably heard the door open. Zhao Yanzi turned back to face Hao Ren in her pajamas.
“What?” Zhao Yanzi pouted and stared at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren laughed, “There’s something that I want to tell you.”
“What is it?” Zhao Yanzi straightened up her back nervously.
“Your waist is pretty soft,” Hao Ren said.
Zhao Yanzi was stupefied, and then she remembered that Hao Ren put his hands on her waist while they were on Little White today.
She frowned immediately and threw her back cushion at Hao Ren. “B*stard!”
Hao Ren quickly closed the door as the cushion came right at him. Then, he left happily.
Sometimes, it was fun to tease her.
(TL NOTE: Hey guys, here are the two chapters for today. MC has some chapters with Zi now. Su Han and the others will come back soon!)
