However, just as he and Huo Ling'er were about to start picking, an even more powerful aura, accompanied by several majestic beast roars, came from all directions of the Hundred Herbs Garden!
Clearly, the commotion here, along with the rich aroma of "San San Qi," has attracted even more powerful beings!
call out!call out!call out!
Several streaks of light descended almost simultaneously!
A majestic Purple Flame Qilin, its body ablaze with purple flames and resembling a Qilin!
A jade-horned beast, pure white with a single horn on its forehead, radiating a holy glow!
A pterosaur with two wings on its back and thick scales, resembling a Western dragon!
There were also several other ancient remnant cubs with equally powerful auras and extraordinary bloodlines!
They were all attracted by the medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herbs Garden, and when they saw Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er get there first, they immediately revealed their hostile gazes!
"Humans! Get out of the Hundred Herbs Garden! The medicinal herbs here belong to us!" The purple-flame unicorn spoke in a human voice, its tone domineering.
“That’s right! You’re not welcome here!” the Jade Horned Beast said coldly.
"Hmph! Two weak humans dare to meddle in this place? They're courting death!" The pterosaur was even more direct, flapping its huge wings to create a gale, trying to blow Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er away!
"Oh dear, another bunch of reckless fools have arrived." Shi Hao looked at these powerful ancient remnant cubs, but instead of being afraid, he was somewhat excited. "Perfect! I didn't get enough of fighting the nine-headed lion! I'll use you guys as practice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward!
"court death!"
"Insanity!"
Upon seeing this, the cubs of the ancient species, such as the Purple Flame Qilin, Jade Horned Beast, and Pterodactyl, were all enraged!
They are all the pride of their respective races, with noble bloodlines and great strength. How could they have ever been so looked down upon by such a tiny human?
boom! boom! boom!
A variety of powerful innate techniques erupted instantly!
Purple divine fire scorched the void! Holy beams of light purified all things! Wind blades, tearing through space, slashed towards Shi Hao!
In an instant, the entire Hundred Herbs Garden was engulfed by violent energy!
However, facing this siege that would have driven ordinary cultivators of the Cave Heaven Realm to despair, Shi Hao laughed heartily!
"Well done!"
Eight grottoes opened simultaneously! Like eight stars guarding the heavens!
Suanni Thunder! Vermilion Bird Divine Fire! Samsara Fist Intent!
He was like a true young god-king! He maneuvered skillfully amidst the siege of numerous ancient remnant species cubs!
Thunder and fire clashed! A fist shattered the void!
boom! boom! boom!
In just a moment!
Those arrogant ancient remnant cubs then let out painful howls!
The flames of the Purple Flame Qilin were suppressed by the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, and its scales were charred black!
The Jade Horned Beast's holy light was extinguished by the Samsara Fist Intent, and its single horn was almost broken off by Shi Hao!
Shi Hao grabbed the pterosaur by the wing and slammed it to the ground like a sandbag, leaving it dizzy and disoriented!
In the blink of an eye, all the ancient remnant cubs who participated in the siege were forcefully suppressed by Shi Hao with absolute power! One by one, they lay on the ground, trembling, no longer daring to resist in the slightest!
"A bunch of trash." Shi Hao clapped his hands and shook his head, seemingly quite disappointed with the strength of these opponents.
Just then, a clear, cool, and somewhat ethereal voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Your methods are impressive, managing to suppress so many ancient species all by yourself. However, this Hundred Herbs Garden is unclaimed land. Isn't your domineering behavior a bit excessive?"
Upon hearing the sound, Shi Hao looked over and saw a young girl appear in the flower bushes not far away.
The girl wore a light purple dress, her figure graceful and her movements light, like a fairy who did not eat the food of this world.
Her skin was like the finest white jade, delicate and smooth, radiating a faint glow. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, further enhancing her ethereal and otherworldly aura.
Her features were exquisitely beautiful, like the most perfect creation of heaven. Her eyebrows were like painted flowers, and her eyes were like amethyst containing stars, clear and deep, with an innate sense of nobility and aloofness.
At this moment, she stood there quietly, looking calmly at Shi Hao and the ancient remnants on the ground that had been suppressed. Although her tone was polite, it carried a hint of questioning.
Celestial Race - Yunxi!
Shi Hao looked at the girl in front of him, who was exactly the same as described in the original work, or even more beautiful, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Is this... the Celestial Goddess who had many entanglements with him in the original work?
She's truly beautiful! And her aura is unique too!
Shi Hao muttered to himself, but put on an innocent smile and asked in a childish voice, "Domineering? How was it domineering? They attacked first! I was just defending myself. Does this pretty lady in purple think I should just stand there and let them hit me?"
His seemingly innocent question caused Yunxi's cool expression to pause slightly.
She glanced at the ancient remnants on the ground who had indeed provoked her first, then looked at the innocent-looking little one in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute them.
It seems... what this little guy said... isn't wrong?
Just as Yunxi was speechless, Shi Hao took a few quick steps and walked towards her, curiously looking her up and down as he went, exclaiming in amazement, "Wow! Sister in purple, you're so pretty! You're even prettier than that fat woman in red I just met!"
"Your outfit is so beautiful! Especially those earrings you're wearing..."
Shi Hao walked up to Yun Xi and suddenly reached out his small hand, as fast as lightning, and gently touched her crystal clear earlobe, which was like a work of art!
Yunxi didn't even have time to react!
I just felt a chill on my earlobe!
The next second, the simple, antique-looking, faintly glowing purple jade pendant she always wore, shaped like a crescent moon, suddenly... vanished!
But Shi Hao caught him!
"Hmm, this little earring is quite unique, and it looks pretty valuable. I happen to need a little trinket, so consider it 'compensation for emotional distress' as you apologize to those guys!"
Shi Hao held the earring that emitted a faint purple light, tossed it in his hand, and then unceremoniously stuffed it into his pocket. He then gave Yun Xi, who was completely stunned, a "bright" smile.
Yunxi: "!!!!!!!!!"
She...her spirit pendant?!
It was...it was stolen by this little brat?!
An unprecedented surge of shame and anger, like a volcanic eruption, instantly rushed to Yunxi's head!
Her once cool and beautiful face instantly turned bright red! Her body trembled slightly from extreme anger!
"You...you...give it back to me!!!"
Yunxi was both ashamed and angry, and her voice was trembling with tears!
That spirit pendant! It's a token passed down through generations of their Celestial Race! And it always comes in pairs!
According to clan rules, one half is worn by the woman, and the other half... is to be given to her future Daoist partner by hand after she comes of age!
This is practically equivalent to a token of love!
And now this little scoundrel... stole it right in front of so many people?!
How is she supposed to face anyone after this?!
"Give it back to you?" Shi Hao blinked his innocent big eyes. "Why should I give it back to you? Didn't you say you wanted to apologize on their behalf? This is an apology."
"Who's going to apologize for them?! Give them back to me! That's..." Yunxi was so anxious she was about to cry, but she was too embarrassed to reveal the true meaning of the Spirit Rhinoceros Pendant in public.
"I won't pay it back!" Shi Hao refused decisively. "Unless... you beat me!"
As he spoke, his small body once again unleashed a powerful aura as he looked at Yunxi defiantly.
Yunxi looked at the unfathomable, glib, and shameless hooligan in front of her, and was so angry that she trembled all over, but she was helpless!
Fight? She just witnessed how easily that little monster suppressed that group of ancient remnants! She'd probably suffer the same fate if she went up against it!
Not fight? What about her spirit pendant?!
In an instant, this goddess of the Celestial Race was plunged into an unprecedented predicament and feeling ashamed and indignant, her eyes reddening.
However, Shi Hao ignored her.
Because the fur ball on his shoulder suddenly started squeaking excitedly again, and its little paws pointed to the depths of the Hundred Herbs Garden, an area shrouded in thick white mist and exuding an extremely pure life force!
The fountain of youth!
found it!
A glint flashed in Shi Hao's eyes! Ignoring Yun Xi, who was still standing there, feeling both embarrassed and angry, he rushed straight in that direction!
There, many powerful beings who had heard the news had already gathered and were fighting fiercely for the legendary Fountain of Immortality!
"Get out of my way!"
Shi Hao roared and charged into the battle like a tiger descending a mountain!
Thunder! Flame! Samsara Fist!
He could wield all sorts of powerful magical techniques and supernatural abilities with ease!
He slashed through everything in his path as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, sending all his competitors flying, whether they were human prodigies or ancient remnants!
Repression!
Finally, to everyone's utter astonishment!
With unparalleled force, he charged towards the fountain of immortality, which emitted wisps of white mist and contained boundless life energy!
"Good stuff! It's all mine!"
Shi Hao laughed heartily and directly activated the power of his cave, like a whale sucking in water, taking in the incomparably precious Spring of Immortality along with the surrounding spiritual soil into his storage space!
Thus, one of the greatest opportunities in Hundred Broken Mountains—the Spring of Immortality—fell into his hands!
Chapter 42: Huo Ling'er is jealous, and Yun Xi is shy!
Deep within the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Before the white mist from the Immortal Spring had completely dissipated, Shi Hao had already swiftly packed up this supreme creation, which was enough to cause a bloodbath in the outside world, along with the surrounding spiritual soil, and stuffed it all into his storage space.
