Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 1238 - 1237: Seclusion

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Ziyue, Bao Liang, and Ning Lingman all glared angrily.

If looks could kill, Qin Hao would have died countless times. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Qin Hao’s expression did not change; he smiled cheerfully at them.

Ning Xiangyu’s expression did not change; her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Hao: "Hao, are you insulting our Po Yuan Sect?"

"Not at all, how could this be considered an insult? You should consider yourselves lucky. After all, it’s your good fortune that someone as exceptional as me finds you interesting." Qin Hao laughed lightly.

Ning Lingman and the others were even angrier upon hearing his words. Isn’t that an insult? You’re practically stepping all over us.

After a while, Ning Xiangyu spoke: "Hao, let’s talk seriously."

Finishing, she got up and walked outside, with Qin Hao following her. They arrived at a hall on the back mountain, where a faint fragrance filled the air, soothing and pleasant.

Ning Xiangyu looked at Qin Hao and said, "Please sit, Hao."

They sat facing each other, and Qin Hao looked at her calmly: "Mr. Ning, what do you intend to discuss with me?"

Ning Xiangyu: "What will it take for you to agree to become a protector of our Po Yuan Sect?"

Qin Hao stood and sat next to her: "Mr. Ning, I already explained clearly earlier. Do you really need me to repeat it?"

Ning Xiangyu gritted her teeth. This guy was really shameless. You’re said to be a top young talent; how can you be so shameless?

If you showed more grace and elegance, perhaps I’d be tempted. But with this attitude, it’s impossible.

"I’m sorry, I feel you’re insulting me." Ning Xiangyu declined diplomatically.

Qin Hao smiled slightly: "In that case, I won’t forcibly press Mr. Ning. However, your injuries are quite severe; not only can you not advance your cultivation, it might even start to deteriorate."

Ning Xiangyu’s expression changed slightly; it was her first visible change. No one in the sect knew of her injuries.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Hao: "How did you see through it?"

"Although you disguise it well, you can’t fool my eyes. You can find me if you change your mind; I’ll be here for a few days. Such an exceptional talent as myself won’t come by often." After saying this, Qin Hao stood to leave.

Ning Xiangyu cursed inwardly: You’re the most shameless young talent I’ve ever seen.

...

Qin Hao and Ning Xiangyu soon returned, and Ning Xiangyu said to Ning Lingman: "Ling Man, arrange rooms for Hao and his people to stay for a few days."

Despite being disgruntled, Ning Lingman nodded: "Yes, master."

Led by Ning Lingman, Qin Hao and his group arrived at the peak of a mountain, where several luxurious palaces stood.

Ning Lingman said: "Hao, this is Chunhua Palace of our Po Yuan Sect, one of the best palaces, meant for honored guests."

Her meaning was clear: We treat you as a guest of honor; could you show us some respect?

Qin Hao: "Someone like me deserves this high-standard treatment."

Ning Lingman was truly speechless. According to you, if we don’t give you high-standard treatment, we’re in the wrong?

She didn’t want to say anything more to Qin Hao: "Hao, you all rest; I’m leaving now."

"You don’t know your master’s serious injury yet, do you?" Qin Hao said to her.

Ning Lingman had planned to leave but stopped instantly upon hearing this, turning to him: "You said my master is seriously injured?"

Qin Hao: "Yes, very serious. Her cultivation will gradually deteriorate, and she won’t live long. Hasn’t your master left the sect recently?"

Ning Lingman replied after thinking: "Yes, my master went out about half a month ago, but she returned days later."

Qin Hao: "Then that’s it. Your master must have gone to a duel and sustained heavy injuries. There’s a black palm print on her back, emitting black gas, which looks like a Demon Cultivation Skill."

"The Duan Hun Sect’s Soul-breaking Palm?"

Ning Lingman’s expression changed slightly at his description.

Qin Hao’s description resembled the Soul-breaking Palm. The Duan Hun Sect is the national protecting sect of the nearby Duan Hun Dynasty, which is adjacent to the Red Wind Dynasty, and their relations aren’t good, often leading to frictions.

Ning Lingman frowned, for the Soul-breaking Palm is extremely sinister, eroding a person’s organs and meridians. Unless the Duan Hun Sect intervenes, no one else can heal it.

She looked at Qin Hao: "Can you heal my master?"

"It’s merely the Soul-breaking Palm; there’s no injury in the world beyond my healing." Qin Hao arrogantly replied.

Ning Lingman: "Then can you save my master?"

Qin Hao: "Why should I save her for free?"

Ning Lingman was stunned: "Then what will it take for you to save my master?"

Qin Hao eyed her: "Although your figure isn’t as good as your master’s, it’s barely acceptable... ahem..."

Ning Lingman was both ashamed and angry at his words: "Keep dreaming!"

Finished speaking, she turned and left; she must first confirm with her master, maybe Qin Hao was bluffing.

...

Turning, Qin Hao took out several pills and gave them to Song Jiaxin and Ji Sitong: "These should be enough to help you break through to the Peak Realm. Now go into seclusion and cultivate; let’s leave after you breakthrough."

"Yes, master." Ji Sitong and Song Jiaxin received the pills, a bit excited.

The two entered the cultivation chambers and started their seclusion. Qin Hao also went to a cultivation chamber, taking out the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit, which should help him break through to the Transcendent Realm Early Stage.

After arranging a Prohibition Array in the palace, Qin Hao consumed the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit, beginning absorption and refinement.

As days passed, during their seclusion Ning Lingman visited once, but seeing the palace’s array, she knew they were cultivating and left.

Seven days later, Song Jiaxin and Ji Sitong emerged from their seclusion; they had successfully broken through to Peak Realm Early Stage.

Previously, it would have taken them at least half a month to absorb and refine these pills, but having switched to the top Holy Daughter Immortal Skill, their absorption and refinement efficiency was many times higher, allowing them to complete the process in just seven days.
