Night.
Eleventh High School.
Principal Zhong Li came before Su Mu and reported, "Senior Su Mu, according to the nurse's examination, there were no signs that Xue Qianqin had been violated. Xue Qianqin also said that after Wang Hao carried her into the cabin, he only drew her blood to concoct a potion and did nothing else."
"Mm, I understand..." Su Mu let out a breath of relief. What he feared most was having hope turn into disappointment. If Wang Hao had truly done that kind of thing, he really would not have known what to do.
If he killed Wang Hao, he would be letting Wang Tianyi down. If he sent Wang Hao to prison, he would feel sorry for him. If he crippled Wang Hao's cultivation, he would not have the heart to do it.
Fortunately, the result had not disappointed him. Other than liking to cut corners and take petty advantage of others, Wang Hao was not really plagued by any major faults. He was not beyond redemption.
And those little flaws also meant that Wang Hao would not suffer losses at the hands of others in the future.
"Zhong Li, what did you just say!?" Mo Li walked in with Luo Yao and asked sternly, "You said Wang Hao drew Xue Qianqin's blood, then concocted a potion!?"
Principal Zhong Li nodded honestly, though he was filled with confusion. Wasn't using blood to concoct potions perfectly normal? The only difference was that he had heard of people using demon beast blood, while Wang Hao had used human blood this time.
"Vice President, it can't be that potion, can it!?" After thinking for a moment, Luo Yao's eyes widened in horror.
Su Mu frowned and asked, "Old Mo, stop speaking in riddles. Hurry up and tell me what potion Wang Hao concocted!"
Mo Li took a deep breath and said solemnly, "There is only one potion in the world that requires the blood of a Dark Spirit Body to concoct. It is the Burial Sky Potion."
"Burial Sky Potion!!"
Su Mu and Zhong Li cried out in alarm, cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.
According to historical records, someone had once used the Burial Sky Potion on a planet, and that planet had instantly become a forbidden zone.
No matter how powerful a person's cultivation was, as long as they arrived on that planet, they would lose all strength and lie on the ground waiting to die.
What frightened people most was that thousands of years had passed, yet the Burial Sky Potion on that planet had still not dissipated. Unless one took the antidote, entering it meant nothing but waiting for death.
"Could there be some mistake!?" Principal Zhong Li asked curiously. "The Burial Sky Potion should be a Level Six Potion. Without the abilities of a Level Six Pharmacist Saint, it should be impossible to concoct it!"
Su Mu frowned. "Could you have remembered wrong? Perhaps there are other potions that require the blood of a Dark Spirit Body?"
Mo Li shook his head and said seriously, "There is absolutely no mistake. The blood of a Dark Spirit Body is only suitable for concocting the Burial Sky Potion. It is completely useless for anything else."
Now everyone was confused. They truly could not understand what potion Wang Hao had concocted using the blood of a Dark Spirit Body.
"Forget it, we'll see tomorrow!" Su Mu chuckled. "Even if Wang Hao's talent is heaven-defying, he is still only a Level Three Pharmacist Ancestor. We have a Level Five Pharmacist Emperor here, so what is there to fear?"
Mo Li shot Su Mu a glance and snorted. "Old Su, flattery won't work on me. Wang Hao belongs to the Pharmacist Guild."
Su Mu shook his head and did not argue with Mo Li any further. He felt there was no need for it. The final choice was in Wang Hao's hands; no matter what anyone said, it would be useless.
At night, Shawan Island was silent, broken only by the occasional roar of a beast.
Inside the cabin.
Wang Hao was taking stock of the spoils he had obtained over the past two days.
Level Two Invisibility Cloak, Level Two Dagger, Level Three Alloy Greatsword, hand grenades, flash grenades, and several landmines.
Le Xuan and Xia Weiwei, standing nearby, could not help shaking their heads. Who would have thought that when Wang Hao had first arrived on Shawan Island, his equipment had been so poor that he was practically no different from a commoner?
But now, the damage dealt by his full set of gear was enough to blind people. It was like trading a slingshot for artillery.
After finishing his inventory, Wang Hao began browsing the system store, deciding to go on a spending spree.
Lightning Step, currently at Peak of Perfection. Upgrade to Perfect Integration: 2 million points.
Thousand Illusions Hand, currently at Thorough Comprehension. Upgrade to the pinnacle, then upgrade again to Perfect Integration: 3 million points.
Level Three Pharmacist Ancestor, purchase all required potion formulas: 5 million points.
Special Edition Enhancement Potion. Instantly breaks through one level after use. For Martial Apprentice cultivation: 1 million points.
After buying several items, he had spent a total of 11 million points, leaving 13 million. Wang Hao could not help sighing repeatedly. Why was it so hard to spend money!?
Putting away his rich-man mentality, Wang Hao directly drank the Special Edition Enhancement Potion. His cultivation instantly broke through to Martial Disciple Level Nine, just one step away from becoming a Martial Master.
"Mm!"
Wang Hao frowned. After reaching Martial Disciple Level Nine, he sensed that this breakthrough was different from the previous ones.
After past breakthroughs, he only needed to adapt to his body a little before breaking through again. Unlike everyone else, he never needed to temper his foundation.
But after this breakthrough, he felt a subtle change in his control over his body. Without ten days to half a month of tempering, he would absolutely be unable to break through again.
"System, what's going on?" Wang Hao asked curiously.
"Does the host remember the Level One Potential Pill from the newbie Big Gift Package? Now that you have broken through to Martial Disciple Level Nine, the Level One Potential Pill's effect has ended. If you wish to break through quickly while ensuring a stable foundation, you must use a Level Two Potential Pill."
Wang Hao sighed in relief. So the Potential Pill's effects had simply run out. As long as there was nothing wrong with his body, it was fine. Without another thought, he said generously, "Buy a Level Two Potential Pill."
"Ding dong. Congratulations, host. You have spent 10 million points to purchase a Level Two Potential Pill."
How much!?
Wang Hao froze, then suddenly felt a stab of pain in his heart. Wasn't that far too expensive!?
He only had 3 million points left now. He was back to that miserable life of pinching pennies.
Looking at the Level Two Potential Pill in his hand, Wang Hao gave a bitter smile and swallowed it in one gulp. The instability within his body immediately vanished. At most, by tomorrow morning, he would have mastered his Martial Disciple Level Nine body.
Looking at his remaining 3 million points, Wang Hao lost all desire to buy anything. He exited the system store and saw Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan apparently reading some news while whispering to each other.
Seeing this, Wang Hao tiptoed over to the two girls. He craned his neck for a look and softly read aloud, "How to Deal with a Pervert!"
"When did you get here!?" The two girls jumped in fright at his voice and hurriedly turned off their Smart Bracelets, glancing at Wang Hao with a hint of guilt.
"Less than a second ago." Wang Hao shrugged, then grinned cheekily. "Did you run into a pervert? Actually, there's no need to be afraid of perverts. As long as you find a boyfriend like me, no pervert would ever dare come near you."
The two girls rolled their eyes. Was this guy truly clueless, or was he just way too full of himself!? Do you seriously have no idea who we're trying to guard against!?
