Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071

"Huh! Where are they? Could they have all gone back to their rooms?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered suspiciously.

At that moment, his soul power swept out towards their room.

Only to see, in Cheng Qingsu’s bedroom.

Cheng Qingsu, Zhang Jing, Zhou Yating, and Zhao Ling’er, the four women, were playing Mahjong.

"Oh my! It’s already so late, and they haven’t gone to sleep yet? Are they night owls?" Zhang Xiaohao thought speechlessly.

Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his gaze.

With a flick of his hand, he retrieved the items he had obtained in the capital of Country F this time.

A portion of Immortal Ascension Soup, two red and black scepters which are supreme treasures of the Red Orchid Church, a demon beast Demon Rat, and a portion of Purification Heavenly Water.

Apart from these, there were also those elixirs and medium-grade spirit stones from before.

He picked up the Immortal Ascension Soup, and before leaving, Zhang Xiaohao handed the other portion of Immortal Ascension Soup to the middle-aged noblewoman, asking her to pass it to the White-clothed Young Master. The source of this content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩

With the White-clothed Young Master personally watching over it, even if the opponents were bold, they wouldn’t dare act rashly in front of the heir to Bai Xiaosheng!

"Once the Heart Without Tears is in hand, with the Purification Heavenly Water and Ice Skin Seven-color Lotus, I’ll refine the Reincarnation Pill, and the memories of the Black Dragon Saint will be completely restored! Moreover, after consuming this Immortal Ascension Soup, the soul power will surge exponentially, boosting at least double! Plus, there are other benefits — it’s indeed a blessing in disguise!" Zhang Xiaohao thought earnestly.

He carefully put away the Purification Heavenly Water and Immortal Ascension Soup.

His gaze fell upon the Demon Rat beast.

This Demon Rat is precisely one of the supreme treasures of the Red Orchid Church, specializing in absorbing human vitality to refine Purification Heavenly Water, although its combat power is very weak, even Cheng Tianxue could easily kill it with a brick.

Yet, it’s quite peculiar, capable of absorbing human vitality, just what Zhang Xiaohao obtained earlier in that underground abyss.

With a grasp, Zhang Xiaohao seized the basketball-sized Demon Rat beast into his palm.

"Haha! Great Brightness Temple, aren’t you eager to play? And dare touch Brother Hao’s women, this time I’ll make sure you lose everything! Slay all of you and extinguish your legacy!" Zhang Xiaohao thought murderously.

He stored the Demon Rat beast into the Shennong Ring, before finally picking up the two red and black scepters.

His gaze fell upon the gemstones on the two scepters.

"What kind of gemstones are these? They can actually augment human power? If both scepters are used together, will the increase in power be even greater?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered internally.

With this thought, Zhang Xiaohao decided to give it a try.

He tossed the two scepters into the air, flicking his finger to inject two beams of golden light into the scepters.

Then, a red and black glow radiated from the scepters, blending in the air and forming an interwoven red-black beam, which fell upon Zhang Xiaohao.

"Hmm? It actually increased by threefold! With my current strength, if I unleash it fully combined with these two scepters, even against the Peak of Palace Realm’s Heaven and Earth Great Powers, I’d have the power to contend! And if I use the Xingtian Battle Axe, I’d be capable of annihilating the Peak of Palace Realm’s Heaven and Earth Great Powers, even against a Half-step Dominator Realm’s Luotian Realm powerhouse!" Zhang Xiaohao thought seriously.

His current martial artist cultivation is the mid-stage Void Transformation Realm, and his Xuan Master cultivation is Earth Rank Middle Stage Peak, undefeated at the same level! His physical strength is comparable to the Early Wheel Palace Realm’s Heaven and Earth Great Powers.

The combined force of the three is not as simple as just addition.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohao possesses various formidable martial skills, making his combat power extremely strong.

With these two supreme treasure scepters now in hand, it’s truly like adding wings to a tiger!

With a respectful grasp, Zhang Xiaohao carefully stored the two supreme treasure scepters.

Thinking it over, he still felt somewhat uneasy about the Tianyin Sect.

He took out his specially-made phone and dialed Tianyin Sect’s Sect Master Gong Ningyue’s number.

The phone rang for a while, but no one answered, so it automatically disconnected.

"Hmm? What’s going on? Why isn’t Gong Ningyue answering the phone? Even if you plan to seal off the mountain for a hundred years, at least don’t turn off your phone!" Zhang Xiaohao thought speechlessly.

Seems like he must visit himself when he has free time.

Otherwise, with their current state, if Great Brightness Temple organized their forces to attack, no matter how formidable Tianyin Sect’s Mountain Protection Array is, it couldn’t withstand the bombardment of hundreds or thousands of strong warriors!

Having made up his mind, Zhang Xiaohao turned off the lights and lay on the bed, quickly drifting into slumber.

Lately, he had been really exhausted and hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.

As dawn broke, Zhang Xiaohao woke up.

He had promised Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai to personally make breakfast for them.

Only by attending to them could he enjoy the happiness ahead.

After washing up, Zhang Xiaohao headed downstairs.

"Good morning, nephew-in-law!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao come down, Sister Zhou greeted him with a smile.

At this moment, Sister Zhou was tidying up in the living room.

The surrounding floor was littered with cake and other messes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Zhou!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

Having interacted these past days, Zhang Xiaohao had a good impression of Sister Zhou!

A typical rural woman, diligent and uncomplaining, works straightforwardly, and knows what tasks she should do and what she shouldn’t. No matter how late he returned, she would have his meal ready and waiting.

"This is what I’m supposed to do!" Sister Zhou said with a smile.

She was a rural woman, without connections or credentials. By chance, Mr. Cheng took her in as a housekeeper for the Cheng Family, with a monthly salary of ten thousand, enjoying good food, and occasionally receiving expensive clothes from the ladies. She was genuinely grateful.

A middle-aged person working at a construction site, daily wages are just over a hundred and sixty, even this requires connections! Without connections, even if you’re robust, nobody would hire you!

In a month, merely four thousand eight hundred, compared to her job, simply pathetic.

Therefore, Sister Zhou was extremely grateful to Mr. Cheng for taking her in when she was helpless, giving her such a great job!

"Sister Zhou, who else is there in your family?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"I have two elderly parents and a son. He recently failed his college entrance exams and is staying at home!" Sister Zhou responded with a smile.

"I see." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"By the way, Sister Zhou, how much is your monthly salary?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Mr. Cheng gives me ten thousand a month. Compared to most people, I’m already very fortunate! If not for Mr. Cheng and the ladies, I’d still be farming back in the countryside!" Sister Zhou said gratefully.
