Bodhi Snake Gall, Improving Strength

"Sir, the way Li Hao repelled Duan Yanqing just now seemed to be Stars Shift. He's surnamed Li, could he be Concubine Consort Li's..."

On a small hilltop not far from Li Hao and his group, two masked figures stood. Their appearances and ages were unknown.

"You go investigate. If he is indeed the child of my lost brother, then he must return to the Murong Clan. Fu'er is too much of a gentleman; he can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring our nation. This kid is bold, meticulous, and shameless. Compared to Fu'er, he's much more reliable. Besides, with so many women, he can greatly help my Murong Clan flourish and continue our lineage," said the leading masked figure.

"But the Young Master is your own..." the attendant's words were filled with hesitation.

"Compared to the great cause of restoring the nation, what's a biological son? I will support whoever in the Murong Clan has the ability."

The two chatted on the mountaintop, not suspecting for a moment that Li Hao wasn't from the Murong Clan.

Stars Shift was a unique secret technique of the Murong Clan, emphasizing returning an opponent's attack with their own force, a supreme state of borrowing strength to counter strength.

Stars Shift was truly magical. Apart from those with the Murong bloodline, no one could cultivate it. Furthermore, it had to be the bloodline of a Murong male.

Simply put, this technique had a built-in safeguard: outsiders couldn't learn it, and within the clan, it was passed down to males but not females.

Heh heh, unfortunately, they didn't know that there was something called a system in this world.

"Everyone come here, I have something to announce." After everyone had finished setting up the campsite, Li Hao gathered them all.

"Young Master, what are your orders?" Yan Shun asked softly.

He was especially envious of Li Hei right now, because he also wished he had the surname Li.

"Do you all have your own Internal Energy cultivation techniques?" Li Hao asked curiously.

"We do, but our techniques aren't of high level. I doubt we'll ever break through to Xiantian in this lifetime," Yan Shun said dejectedly.

They had no talent, no resources, no backing, and no fortunate encounters. To have reached this point through their own struggles was already quite remarkable.

"Mm, since you all have your own techniques, I won't ask further. Changing cultivation methods would cause many problems, and more importantly, we don't have any. However, I can still help improve your cultivation," Li Hao's words instantly caused a stir among everyone.

Since ancient times, literature had no first place, and martial arts had no second. Who in the Martial World didn't wish to become a Grandmaster and be renowned for eternity!

However, Li Hao's words made Yi Lin, Ning Zhongze, and Lin Shiyin's faces turn pale and weak.

They all knew that Li Hao could improve people's cultivation, and they had even tried it. The cultivation of all three had improved considerably. But the method of improving their strength was too private, making it difficult to speak of.

Yet now, Li Hao suddenly announced to everyone that he could improve people's strength, and the recipients were over thirty men. This scene...

"Ugh," thinking of this, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but run to the side and vomit.

Lin Shiyin followed, also retching violently. The two exchanged glances, both feeling a strange taste in their mouths.

"What's wrong with you two?" Li Hao asked, confused as he saw them leaning together and vomiting non-stop.

Sister Ning vomiting could possibly be pregnancy, after all, they had been together for so long, and their "exercise" had never stopped.

As for Lin Shiyin, damn it, could I really be a father? Did she still have Long Xiaoyun's seed in her belly!

"Don't worry about me, ugh..." Ning Zhongze and Lin Shiyin replied in unison.

"Young Master, hurry up and tell us how to improve our strength," Yan Shun asked impatiently.

If these words came from anyone else, Yan Shun would never believe them. But since they came from Li Hao's mouth, Yan Shun had absolute faith.

"Ugh..." Hearing Yan Shun's question, Yi Lin finally reacted and joined the ranks of the vomiting!

It seemed her cherry lips had also experienced something.

"Here is a basin of Bodhi Snake Gall, a divine medicine that can increase Internal Energy. This item was not easily obtained, so cherish it well." Li Bai suddenly produced a wooden basin filled with snake galls the size of soybeans.

The snake galls were very fresh, and a whiff of bloodiness still filled the air.

"Young Master, how do we eat this?" Yan Shun asked, covering his nose.

He knew snake galls were good for eyesight, but increasing Internal Energy sounded a bit far-fetched!

"What, you don't believe me? This item is priceless. Consuming the first one can increase Internal Energy by ten years, the second by half, five years. The third will continue to be halved, and so on. Understand!" After speaking, Li Bai picked up a snake gall and brought it to his lips. After a moment's thought, he put the snake gall back into the wooden basin. This item was too precious; eating it himself would be a waste.

System: You're just a coward, afraid to eat it.

"What, is everyone afraid to eat it?" Li Hao looked at the trembling knights.

"I'll do it, I believe in Young Master," Li Hei strode forward, picked up a snake gall, and put it in his mouth.

"Boom!" As soon as the snake gall entered his mouth, it transformed into a few drops of green liquid that quickly entered his abdomen.

"So bitter," Li Hei said, sticking out his tongue.

However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a surge of immense power erupting from his abdomen.

Li Hei quickly circulated his Internal Energy cultivation technique, absorbing and refining this sudden surge of power.

Li Hei is quite good, cultivating an authentic Daoist technique. Very good. It seems the beggar who took him in as a child also had a story.

"Young Master, I've broken through! I've reached the late Houtian realm!" A moment later, Li Hei jumped up, performed a set of fist techniques on the spot, and then shouted excitedly.

"Now do you believe your Young Master? How about that, I didn't lie to you all!" Seeing Yan Shun and the others rushing to grab the Bodhi Snake Galls, Li Hao said triumphantly.

"So that's what you meant by improving strength – consuming heavenly treasures!" Seeing the knights meditating and absorbing the Bodhi Snake Galls scattered on the ground, Ning Zhongze and the other two felt like crying without tears.

The three of them had vomited their guts out, their bile nearly gone, only to realize they had misunderstood. What Li Hao meant was completely different from what they had imagined!

"What's wrong with you all? Are you sick? You're so close you get sick together. Should I take your pulse? I'm a Grandmaster Medical Skills expert." Li Hao said with a grin.

Believe it or not, the system had indeed rewarded him with Grandmaster Medical Skills before, but he was too lazy to use it.

"What about us sisters?" Ning Zhongze extended her palm in front of Li Hao.

"What about you?" Li Hao asked.

"Bodhi Snake Gall, we want to improve our strength too!" Ning Zhongze had a look of entitlement. Whatever Li Hao had was theirs anyway.

"This thing can increase Internal Energy, but the increase is limited, and it tastes bad. We can try a different method. This method is not only safe and fast, but most importantly, everyone will be happy," Li Hao said slyly, looking at the three.
