"Excellent, excellent!"
Wang Hao was sitting cross-legged in the cabin, opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the changed attribute panel.
After obtaining that sum of Fortune Points, he immediately sat down cross-legged and activated his Dao Comprehension Function to comprehend the martial arts techniques he had obtained from Zhao Min's tomb. It took him several hundred Fortune Points to fully comprehend them.
That wasn't all. Wang Hao integrated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art into the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction, using it as a foundation for further deduction. He finally pushed the second level of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction to 600 points of progress.
Fortunately, he had survived Yuanyuan Temur's Jade and Stone Burn Together -death experience, which was a valuable experience in tempering his physical body. With the subsequent nourishment from the spirit peaches, he gained an additional 200 points of Bloodline Power.
Even after deducing this part of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction, it immediately advanced and was promoted to the late stage of Complete Integration in one go.
Compared to the limited deduction of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction, the deduction of the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Instruction went much more smoothly. With the help of his previous martial arts foundation, he quickly and completely deduced the second level.
After all, the mainstream of martial arts today is cultivating internal energy and true qi, and there are far more techniques for this than for arduous external martial arts.
Even techniques like the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, which are touted as Body Refinement techniques, actually involve a significant portion of cultivating true qi.
With such a solid foundation, the deduction will naturally proceed very smoothly.
As for the Nine Revolutions Spirit Nourishing Instruction, forget about it. That thing improves extremely slowly to begin with. Even after consuming a few spirit peaches, it only raises the Acquired Divine Sense to fifty points, and then it can't be improved any further with spirit peaches.
Obviously, there are not many shortcuts in this area; one must cultivate oneself step by step through hard work.
Aside from these aspects, everything else has improved to some extent, mainly because Yuanyuan Temur is too powerful; that intense battle naturally led to a significant improvement.
This kind of improvement through combat is much faster than simply going into seclusion for arduous training, but it is also much more dangerous.
Just like last time, Wang Hao almost got killed.
So unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid unnecessary recklessness!
After all, his cultivation speed was already very fast. He had reached this level in just over two years, surpassing the achievements of more than 99% of people in the martial arts world.
only...
When will we arrive in Fuzhou?!
Looking at the nearly withered Yezi of the spirit peach tree and Wangcai, who was lying listlessly in the cabin Wangcai, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel troubled.
It's been over a month since he came out of the Kunlun Mountain. Although he took some measures, the peach tree has still suffered great damage over such a long period. If it's not planted quickly, it's probably doomed.
Meanwhile, Wangcai actually developed seasickness symptoms. He was a little better while drifting on the Yangtze River, but it became much more severe once he got to the sea, and he even vomited several times.
"Young master, young master, we're almost at Fuzhou port!"
Just as Wang Hao was secretly worried, a shout suddenly came from the ship ahead.
"Then you can throw off your chains! I'll take a boat to Quanzhou Prefecture myself!"
Wang Hao came to the deck, glanced at the Fuzhou dock that had appeared at the end of the horizon, and turned to call out to a crew member on the fleet ahead.
"May you have a safe journey, young master!"
The man nodded upon hearing this, and untied the thick chain attached to the stern of the boat, throwing it into the sea.
Wang Hao, on the other side, reached out and pulled up the chain.
To avoid trouble, he had previously furled the sails of his own ship and had the fleet in front of him tow his ship with chains. This saved him a lot of trouble along the way and also gave him enough time to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Instruction.
After all, his Innate Qi was initially enhanced by refining the true energy that Yuanyuan Temur had injected into his body, as well as the medicinal power of the spirit peach. His foundation was not very stable, so he needed a lot of time to refine it.
He put away the chains, raised the sails, Wang Hao steered the ship westward across the sea.
To be on the safe side, he didn't tell the fleet that he was going to Fuzhou. Instead, he said he was going to Quanzhou Prefecture, which was further west. This way, he could avoid their sight, moor the ship in a secluded place, and then go to Fuzhou City alone.
After traveling for dozens of miles, Wang Hao turned the sails around and steered the ship to a secluded bay. The shore was covered with dense forests, clearly uninhabited.
Before Wang Hao could even moor the boat, Wangcai jumped out impatiently and started frolicking on the narrow beach.
It's been so cooped up for over a month, especially during the two weeks it spent at sea.
It's so much more comfortable standing on the ground!
On the other side, Wang Hao went ashore and used his Shameless Greatsword to carve a path through the woods. He then carried the ship in and covered it with the trees he had previously cut down.
In this way, as long as no one gets close, it will be extremely difficult to discover that a small sea vessel is hidden here.
"Just bear with it a little longer, I'll find you a new home in a few days!"
After patting the rather damaged peach tree, Wang Hao resolutely stepped off the ship. He also gave instructions to Wangcai, who was frolicking outside, before shouldering a large bundle and heading towards Fuzhou City.
At Wang Hao's speed, he arrived in Fuzhou City in less than an Tokiomi. At this moment, he was using the disguise of Zhu Yanzu after using the Thousand Faces Divine Technique. However, as soon as he entered Fuzhou City, Wang Hao's expression became strange.
" Xiao Mengmeng, are you sure that shameless old man Li Haoran is also in Fuzhou City? And inside the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
Looking at the Fuwei Escort Agency at the end of the street in front of him, Wang Hao felt a strange sense of unease.
You have to understand that Li Haoran is now his mortal enemy, and he almost lost his life at Li Haoran's hands last time. It's not a good sign that Li Haoran is now at Fuwei Escort Agency.
"Not only is Li Haoran there, but he also has a Half-step Innate Realm expert and more than a dozen Peak Grandmaster experts beside him. Uncle, you'd better be careful."
Xiao Mengmeng solemnly reminded him that the opponent's lineup this time was quite impressive, and if he wasn't careful, Wang Hao might be left here.
He didn't take those dozen or so Peak Grandmaster experts seriously, but Li Haoran and another Half-step Innate expert were more troublesome.
"It seems the events on Peach Blossom Island are very likely related to Confucian School!"
A cold look appeared on Wang Hao's face, and he began to make some guesses.
After taking a deep look at the Fuwei Escort Agency at the end of the street, Wang Hao turned and walked into the alleyway next to it.
Besides Lin Zhennan, he also had another informant hidden in Fuzhou City.
After turning left and right in Fuzhou City, Wang Hao soon arrived at a trading company Grace and Righteousness.
"What brings you here, young master?"
When Wang Hao came in, a waiter went up to him warmly and asked what his purpose was.
"Call your manager out and tell him that an old friend from the north has come to visit, and we'd like to ask him how his swordsmanship is progressing."
Wang Hao didn't say anything else, put down the large bundle on his back, and stood there waiting.
Seeing that Wang Hao didn't seem to be joking, and that he did indeed know that his manager often practiced swordsmanship, the waiter smiled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting," before hurrying to the back to inform his manager.
"Who are you..."
Soon, a burly man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and with a full beard walked out from behind, his gaze falling on Wang Hao with a puzzled look.
"What? It's only been a short time since we last met, and you don't recognize your brother-in-law anymore?"
Wang Hao grinned. Although the other person's appearance and demeanor had changed drastically, he still recognized him as Wu Tai.
He had Wu Tai bring Qing'er to Laifu to run a business, which was a way out for him. Now it seems that the other party is doing quite well!
Having confirmed that there was something wrong with the Fuwei Escort Agency, he spent some Fortune Points to activate the Treasure-Seeking Function and found Wu Tai.
After all, he's a big shot now, so this little bit of money is nothing to him.
"Who are you..."
Wu Tai stared wide-eyed at Wang Hao, his face filled with disbelief. He simply couldn't reconcile the handsome god in front of him with his benefactor's... well, rather ordinary appearance.
Won't you invite me in for a seat?
Wang Hao smiled, understanding Wu Tai's shock. After all, he was currently using the alias Zhu Yanzu, so Wu Tai's reaction was to be expected.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Brother-in-law, please come in! A Quan, go and prepare a feast; I want to have a good drink with you."
Wu Tai realized what was happening and quickly invited Wang Hao to the back, while also instructing the waiter from before to prepare the food and drinks.
The waiter was very efficient; he brought a large table of food and drinks in no time.
" A Quan, I am not receiving guests today. Whoever comes, please do not disturb me."
After giving instructions to his assistant, A Quan, Wu Tai quickly closed the doors and windows after he left. When he turned around, he was startled by what he saw.
Wang Hao's original height of eight feet suddenly increased to ten feet, and his figure became many times more robust. Even when sitting, he was as tall as Wu Tai when standing, and his appearance also changed drastically.
"He truly is my benefactor!"
Seeing Wang Hao's changed figure and his ugly... well, very ordinary appearance, Wu Tai was overjoyed, finally able to confirm that this was indeed his benefactor.
He had learned about Wang Hao's terrifying achievements in the capital six months ago, and naturally knew that Wang Hao's size had increased to ten feet. Although he didn't know the reason for this change in size, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that this person is indeed my benefactor!
"Don't call me 'benefactor,' call me 'brother-in-law'! Do you intend to take advantage of my sister Qing'er and then abandon her?"
Wang Hao feigned annoyance, saying that compared to his benefactor, he preferred the title of "brother-in-law," as it was second only to his father-in-law!
It sounds so soothing!
"Brother-in-law, how could I dare!"
Wu Tai laughed honestly and poured a glass of wine to Wang Hao diligently.
I bet you wouldn't dare!
Wang Hao chuckled, then began to devour the food and drinks on the table, leaving only empty plates in no time.
This left Wu Tai, who was holding chopsticks nearby, dumbfounded, clearly not expecting Wang Hao to eat at such an exaggerated speed.
"Where's Qing'er? I can't find her anywhere."
While picking his teeth with a broken chopstick, Wang Hao asked in confusion.
He had previously spent two points having Xiao Mengmeng search for Qing'er and Wu Tai, but they only found Wu Tai in Fuzhou City, while Qing'er was nowhere to be found.
