What Qin Hao valued most was the Spirit Offering Sheath.
This Spirit Offering Sheath had been forged 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, specially made to be used alongside the Immortal Sword of Rain.
Not only could the Spirit Offering Sheath strengthen a sword spirit, it could also enhance the Immortal Sword of Rain's power. It was absolutely a priceless treasure.
Qin Hao had obtained a strengthened Spirit Offering Sheath, so its amplifying power was naturally even greater.
Qin Hao thought, I don't have the Immortal Sword of Rain, but putting the Wood Sword of Years inside should still enhance the Wooden Sword's power.
Whoosh!
Just then, a strand of divine sense suddenly surged out from the center of the city and swept toward them.
Hmph!
Seeing that the other party dared to spy on him, Qin Hao snorted coldly. He unleashed all his spiritual consciousness and sent it crashing directly into that divine sense.
Bang!
In an instant, that strand of divine sense shattered.
Whoosh!
Before long, a figure flew over from the center of the city.
The figure approached and transformed into a black-robed elder.
"This junior, Teng Huayuan, greets Senior!"
The elder immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Qin Hao.
Just now, he had sensed that his Restriction had been disturbed, so he extended his spiritual consciousness to investigate, only for it to be effortlessly destroyed.
Clearly, the person who had come to Teng Family City was an expert at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, or perhaps even the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Rise."
Qin Hao gave him an indifferent glance 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 directly led Liu Mei down into the city.
Teng Huayuan flashed away and teleported back to the pavilion at the center of the city.
A handsome young man in white robes, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, asked, "Grandfather, you came and went in such a hurry. Did something happen?"
"An expert whose cultivation exceeds even your grandfather's has arrived in Teng Family City!"
Teng Huayuan looked at his grandson and said with a smile, "Li'er, go attend to that senior. Do not let those blind shopkeepers offend him!"
As he spoke, he conjured portraits of Qin Hao and Liu Mei. "The young-looking man is that senior. Under no circumstances must you provoke him. Otherwise, even your grandfather will not be able to protect you!"
"He looks so young, and he's even more handsome than me!"
Teng Li first looked at Qin Hao's portrait, then his gaze fell upon Liu Mei's portrait.
"What a beautiful beauty. I've never seen anyone so stunningly beautiful before. If only..."
Just as Teng Li stared at Liu Mei's portrait, Teng Huayuan's brows immediately furrowed.
Slap!
He swung his hand and slapped Teng Li across the face, sending him flying.
"Grandfather?"
Teng Li clutched his face and looked at his grandfather in disbelief.
He had been spoiled by Teng Huayuan since childhood. This was the first time Teng Huayuan had ever beaten him so severely.
"Li'er, Grandfather is saving your life!"
Teng Huayuan sighed and said, "The Cultivation World is ruled by the strong devouring the weak. The woman beside that senior is not someone you can covet. Don't even think about it. You cannot even look at her twice!"
"If he is narrow-minded, one extra glance from you could leave you with your head separated from your body. Do you understand?"
"This grandson understands."
Teng Li nodded heavily.
After leaving the pavilion, Teng Li shouted to his attendants, "Teng Jia, Teng Yi, follow this Young Master to meet a great senior!"
"Young Master, what is this senior's identity?"
Teng Jia asked with a smile.
"At least Nascent Soul mid-stage!"
Teng Li said gravely, "Remember, he is not someone we can afford to offend. Do not stare at the woman beside him either, or this Young Master will personally chop off your heads!"
"Yes!"
Before long, Teng Li led his two attendants, Teng Jia and Teng Yi, to find Qin Hao and Liu Mei at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Qin Hao and Liu Mei were currently selecting medicinal herbs there.
"Young Master Li, what a rare guest! May I ask what you have come to purchase from this humble shop?"
The shopkeeper spotted Teng Li and immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly.
Teng Li ignored him and walked straight up to Qin Hao, bowing deeply. "This junior, Teng Li, greets Senior. All of Senior's expenses in Teng Family City will be paid by this junior!"
After Teng Huayuan's lesson, he had become much wiser. He did not dare look at the beautiful woman beside Qin Hao even once.
"Greetings, Senior!"
Teng Jia and Teng Yi also hurriedly bowed.
Gasp!
Seeing this, the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's shopkeeper and customers all widened their eyes.
None of them had expected the Young Master of Teng Family City to humble himself so completely before someone else.
"Who exactly is this young man? Could he be the son of some Nascent Soul Ancestor from a major sect?"
Everyone was filled with curiosity.
Qin Hao spoke indifferently. "Do I look like someone who cannot afford to pay?"
"This junior meant nothing else. I merely wished to fulfill the duties of a host!"
Cold sweat broke out across Teng Li's forehead as he explained.
"No need."
Qin Hao had no intention of becoming entangled with him.
"Then this junior shall wait outside!"
Teng Li humbly added before finally leaving the Myriad Medicine Studio.
After leaving the Myriad Medicine Studio, Teng Jia suddenly took out a Jade Slip.
He swept it with his spiritual consciousness, then said to Teng Li, "Young Master, the steward has sent word that Old Man Jimò has an urgent matter and wishes to see you!"
"The most important thing now is attending to this senior properly!"
Teng Li instructed, "Tell him to make Jimò wait!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Upon hearing this, Teng Jia immediately used the Jade Slip to transmit a message.
After Qin Hao finished purchasing the medicinal herbs, he and Liu Mei walked out of the Myriad Medicine Studio.
Although Teng Li had not paid for them, after this incident, the Myriad Medicine Studio's shopkeeper still gave them the best possible price.
After leaving the Myriad Medicine Studio, Qin Hao looked at Teng Li and asked, "Where is the best inn in Teng Family City?"
"The finest inn is naturally my Teng Family's Myriad Fortune Restaurant!"
Teng Li smiled and made a welcoming gesture. "Please follow me, Senior!"
Led by Teng Li, the group arrived at a luxurious restaurant in the most prosperous area at the city's center.
"Senior, please."
Teng Li invited Qin Hao inside.
The restaurant's shopkeeper stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Young Master, are you hosting guests?"
Teng Li smiled and nodded. "Teng Ma, arrange a table of the finest food and wine, then prepare a superior guest room for this senior!"
Qin Hao said, "There is no need for a meal. Just arrange two guest rooms."
"This..."
The restaurant's shopkeeper looked troubled, unsure whom he should obey.
"Listen to Senior!"
Teng Li sighed, then secretly transmitted, "Teng Ma, this is a senior whose cultivation surpasses even my grandfather's. If you offend him, I will chop off your head."
"Yes!"
Teng Ma swallowed 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, then looked at Teng Li and reminded him, "Teng Li, is it? Seeing how attentive you have been, I will offer you a reminder. In the coming days, do not meddle in other people's affairs, and do not leave Teng Family City. Otherwise, disaster will surely befall you!"
