Spirit Offering Sheath; Teng Li's Humility

What Qin Hao valued most was the Spirit Offering Sheath.

This Spirit Offering Sheath was crafted by Immortal Emperor Qing Lin of the Immortal Realm of Rain using Shuo Immortal Gold from the Immortal Washing Pool.

There were five in total, specifically designed to be paired with the Immortal Sword of Rain.

This Spirit Offering Sheath could not only strengthen a sword spirit but also enhance the power of the Immortal Sword of Rain; it was undoubtedly a precious treasure.

Qin Hao had obtained a reinforced Spirit Offering Sheath, so its amplification power would naturally be even greater.

I do not have the Immortal Sword of Rain, Qin Hao thought, but if I place the Wood Sword of Years inside, it should also enhance the power of the wood sword.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a Divine Sense suddenly surged from the center of the city, sweeping toward him.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that the other party dared to spy on him, Qin Hao let out a cold snort. He unleashed his full power of Divine Sense, crashing it directly into that incoming probe.

"Bang!"

In an instant, that Divine Sense was shattered.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, a figure flew over from the center of the city.

The figure arrived nearby and transformed into an Elder in black robes.

"Junior Teng Huayuan greets Senior!"

The Elder immediately cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Hao.

He had just sensed that his restrictions had been triggered, so he had probed with his Divine Sense, only to be easily defeated in return.

Clearly, the person who had arrived at Teng Family City was an Expert at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, or perhaps even the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"Rise."

Qin Hao glanced at him indifferently and said, "This Seat intends to stay in Teng Family City for a few days and purchase some medicinal herbs. Do not disturb me."

With that, he led Liu Mei down into the city.

Teng Huayuan flashed, teleporting back to the pavilion in the center of the city.

A young man in white, looking to be about twenty-five or twenty-six with sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, asked, "Grandfather, you came and went in such a hurry; has something happened?"

"An Expert with a cultivation base even higher than your grandfather's has arrived in Teng Family City!"

Teng Huayuan looked at his Sun and said with a smile, "Li'er, go and attend to that Senior. Make sure those shops don't have any blind fools who might offend him!"

As he spoke, he conjured images of Qin Hao and Liu Mei. "The young man is that Senior. You must, absolutely must not provoke him, or even your grandfather won't be able to protect you!"

"Such a young man, and he is even more handsome than I am!"

Teng Li first looked at Qin Hao's portrait, then his gaze fell upon the portrait of Liu Mei.

"What a beautiful Beauty. I have never seen such a National Beauty before. If only..."

Just as Teng Li stared at Liu Mei's portrait, Teng Huayuan's brows furrowed instantly.

"Slap!"

He struck Teng Li across the face, sending him flying.

"Grandfather?"

Teng Li clutched his face, looking at his grandfather in disbelief.

He had been spoiled by Teng Huayuan since childhood; this was the first time he had ever been beaten by him.

"Li'er, Grandfather is saving you!"

Teng Huayuan sighed and said, "In the Cultivation World, the strong prey on the weak. The woman beside that Senior is not someone you can covet. Don't even think about it—you shouldn't even look at her twice!"

"If he is a narrow-minded person, a single extra glance could cost you your head. Do you understand?"

"Grandson understands."

Teng Li nodded heavily.

Emerging from the pavilion, Teng Li shouted to his followers, "Teng Jia, Teng Yi, follow this Young Master to meet a great Senior!"

"Young Master, what is the status of this Senior?"

Teng Jia asked with a grin.

"At least Nascent Soul Middle Stage!"

Teng Li said in a low voice, "Remember, he is not someone we can afford to offend. Do not stare at the woman beside him, or this Young Master will personally cut off your heads!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Teng Li led his followers, Teng Jia and Teng Yi, and found Qin Hao and Liu Mei at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

Qin Hao and Liu Mei were currently there selecting medicinal herbs.

"Young Master Li, what a rare guest. I wonder what you're looking to buy at my humble shop?"

The shopkeeper hurried forward to greet Teng Li with immediate enthusiasm.

Teng Li ignored him, walking straight up to Qin Hao and bowing low. "Junior Teng Li pays his respects to the Senior. I shall be responsible for covering all of the Senior's expenses while in Teng Family City!"

Having learned his lesson from Teng Huayuan, he had become clever and didn't dare even glance at the beautiful woman beside him.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Teng Jia and Teng Yi also bowed in succession.

"Hiss!"

The shopkeeper and the customers of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion stared with wide eyes at this scene.

None of them had expected that the dignified Young Master of Teng Family City would be so servile to someone else.

What is this young man's identity? Could he be the son of a Nascent Soul Ancestor from some major sect?

Curiosity stirred within everyone's hearts.

Qin Hao spoke indifferently, "Does This Seat look like someone who cannot afford to pay?"

"Junior meant no offense; I only wished to fulfill the duties of a host!"

Cold sweat broke out on Teng Li's forehead as he scrambled to explain.

"No need!"

Qin Hao had no intention of getting involved with the other party.

"Then this Junior shall wait at the entrance!"

Teng Li spoke in a subservient tone once more before leaving the Myriad Medicine Studio.

After stepping out of the Myriad Medicine Studio, Teng Jia suddenly produced a Jade Slip.

He swept it with his divine sense and then said to Teng Li, "Young Master, the estate steward sent a message saying that Old Man Jimò has urgent business and wishes to see you!"

"The most important thing right now is to attend to this Senior properly!"

Teng Li commanded, "Tell him to make Old Man Jimò wait!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Upon hearing this, Teng Jia immediately transmitted a message into the Jade Slip.

After purchasing the medicinal herbs, Qin Hao walked out of the Myriad Medicine Studio with Liu Mei.

Although Teng Li hadn't paid the bill, the shopkeeper of the Myriad Medicine Studio gave them the most favorable price after what had transpired.

Once outside, Qin Hao set his gaze on Teng Li and asked, "Where is the best inn in Teng Family City?"

"The best inn is naturally my Teng family's Myriad Fortune Restaurant!"

Teng Li smiled and gestured for them to follow, inviting, "Please, Senior, come with me!"

Under Teng Li's guidance, the group arrived at a luxurious restaurant in the most prosperous part of the city center.

"Senior, please!"

Teng Li invited Qin Hao inside.

The restaurant manager approached with a respectful attitude and asked, "Young Master, are you hosting guests?"

Teng Li nodded with a smile. "Teng Ma, go arrange a table of the finest wine and dishes, and prepare a top-tier guest room for this Senior!"

Qin Hao said, "There is no need for a meal; just arrange two guest rooms."

"This..."

The restaurant manager looked troubled, unsure of whom to listen to.

"Listen to the Senior!"

Teng Li sighed, then secretly transmitted, "Teng Ma, this is a Senior whose cultivation is even higher than my grandfather's. If you offend him, I will have your head."

"Yes!"

Teng Ma swallowed hard and said to Qin Hao, "Senior, please follow me. I will arrange Heaven Grade Room One and Heaven Grade Room Two for you!"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, looked at Teng Li, and warned, "Teng Li, is it? For the sake of your diligence, I will give you a reminder: in these coming days, do not meddle in other people's affairs, and do not leave Teng Family City, or you will surely face disaster!"
