Chapter 710: Chapter 710
"Hehehe..." Seeing Zhang Xiaohao emerge, Su Ruobai burst into a proud laugh.
"Well, well! You actually dared to deceive me!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
With that, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he lunged at Su Ruobai.
After some playful roughhousing, Zhang Xiaohao walked out contentedly.
Exiting the room, Zhang Xiaohao headed towards the basement.
He disabled the protective formations and entered the room.
The Netherworld Holy Tree joyfully absorbed the nature’s spiritual energy from the air, nurturing itself while also producing Netherworld Holy Water.
"Hmm, not bad, a few thousand more drops of Netherworld Holy Water have condensed." Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.
He took out an exquisite jade bottle and filled it with the Netherworld Holy Water.
He examined it closely.
"Why not renovate this place and turn it into a small swimming pool!" Zhang Xiaohao muttered.
The water in the Shennong Ring was all rich with Spiritual Energy, and it would be completely wasted if it was simply poured into the pool above.
Down here, on the one hand, there is the Netherworld Holy Tree, a treasure of heaven and earth. On the other hand, protected by the Nine Extremes Trapped Sky Array, even in some urgent situations, these pools of Spiritual Water could be protected.
Besides, it would prevent the little ones from stealing a drink.
Otherwise, considering that dead dog’s appetite, I’m guessing it would slurp up all the Spiritual Water in the pool in one gulp.
With this thought, Zhang Xiaohao instantly made up his mind.
Taking out the Fish Intestine Sword, he centered on the Netherworld Holy Tree and began digging around the room.
Sweeping with Soul Power, he laid down a huge barrier in the basement, covering the entire space.
Next, he dismantled walls and renovated the space.
He then took out the myriad refined weapons he had obtained from the White Tiger Sect and transformed them with the Shennong Pill Fire, recasting them into eighteen exquisite pillars to serve as supports and beams.
After all this, he gathered all the excavated earth into an empty storage bag.
Then, with the melted solution from the weapons, he coated the vast swimming pool’s surroundings, applying a layer of iron filings to the earth to prevent the Spiritual Water from leaking away.
After that, he built a small pavilion in the basement and a crystal pathway entirely made of Luminous Pearls.
Lastly, he transformed a large room to the north, forging a super large bed from refined weapons, and covered it with the skins and furs of the magical beasts he had slain—layering them to a thickness of over thirty centimeters.
Once finished, he spread clean bedding and sheets on the large bed. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
He also inlaid fist-sized Luminous Pearls around the perimeter.
After Zhang Xiaohao’s renovation, a perfect underground chamber appeared before his eyes.
From the outside, the entire basement looked stunningly beautiful. With treasures like the Netherworld Holy Tree and Luminous Pearls enhancing its charm, it emitted the softest aura.
The air was clear and filled with vitality.
The magnificent nature’s spiritual energy was almost condensing into a liquid. Even a single breath of it made one feel much lighter.
The most crucial point was that the Nine Extremes Trapped Sky Array, after Zhang Xiaohao’s reconfiguration, covered the whole basement and was enhanced with the addition of some Spirit Stones.
Its power had increased by several degrees from before.
"Excellent! This finally looks a bit like an Immortal Realm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded and said.
He walked over to the newly constructed pool, flicked his palm, and poured all the Spiritual Water from the Shennong Ring into it.
He pondered for a moment.
"Could I also place the Ice Skin Seven-Color Lotus in it?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered to himself.
With that thought, he decided to give it a try.
If it worked, great; if not, there was no real loss.
He took out the Ice Skin Seven-Color Lotus, walked along the Luminous Pearl pathway to the pavilion, and placed the Lotus into the water.
A marvelous scene unfolded: the Ice Skin Seven-Color Lotus entered the Spiritual Water.
It was like a fish entering a river, happily taking root at the bottom.
Radiant seven-colored lights shimmered from above the Ice Skin Seven-Color Lotus, corresponding with the Netherworld Holy Tree, distributing seven-colored halos onto the Netherworld Holy Tree. Then, through the reciprocation of the Holy Tree, the lights returned to their origin.
"Phew! I finally did it; that nearly exhausted me to death," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He sat cross-legged atop the pavilion.
With a flip of his hand, he took out all the Ice Skin Lotus.
Hundreds of Ice Skin Lotus enough to pile up into a small hill.
"What if I throw in some more Ice Skin Lotus?" Zhang Xiaohao muttered to himself.
Deciding to act on his thought, with so many Ice Skin Lotus available, missing a few wasn’t an issue.
Zhang Xiaohao, grasping several Ice Skin Lotus, threw down dozens of them.
As the Ice Skin Lotus hit the water, they immediately came to life and took root in the pond.
"Truly befitting of a spiritual object! Just with this tenacious vitality, it’s incomparable to ordinary things," Zhang Xiaohao praised.
With another flip of his hand, he took out the Three Dragon True Cauldron.
He then took out a large portion of the Elixirs.
Having everything ready, Zhang Xiaohao activated the Shennong Battle Sky Technique to restore the depleting True Qi and spirit.
Zhang Xiaohao once again opened his eyes; a sharp light flashed, indicating that his vigor and spirit had completely recovered to their peak.
With a flick of his right hand, the Shennong Pill Fire danced in his palm.
"Go!" Zhang Xiaohao bellowed.
He flung the Shennong Pill Fire beneath the Three Dragon True Cauldron.
The vigorous flames immediately burst from the Shennong Pill Fire, enveloping the entire Three Dragon True Cauldron in a fierce blaze.
After a short while, the cauldron became heated.
Zhang Xiaohao, with one hand, grabbed all the Elixirs from the ground and tossed them into the Three Dragon True Cauldron to remove impurities and refine their essence back to their origin.
Leveraging the experience from the previous time, this refinement merely took about an hour.
He then refined the various Elixirs inside the Three Dragon True Cauldron into the purest Spiritual Liquid.
There it was, a droplet of Spiritual Liquid, the size of an adult’s fist, and radiating immense pure medicinal power, settled inside the Three Dragon True Cauldron.
"Come here!" Zhang Xiaohao roared.
He opened his mouth wide and inhaled, swallowing the fist-sized droplet of Spiritual Liquid, then quickly began refining it using the Shennong Battle Sky Technique.
Under the refinement of the Shennong Battle Sky Technique, this droplet of Spiritual Liquid transformed directly into the purest True Qi.
Although his cultivation level did not increase, it became significantly more stable.
The concentration of his True Qi had become richer than before.
"It’s time to start!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.
Immediately, with a flip of his right hand, he took out some Spirit Stones from the Shennong Ring and placed them to the side.
Following that, his hands danced in the air, throwing each and every one of the Ice Skin Jade Bones into the Three Dragon True Cauldron.
The Three Dragon True Cauldron, like a bottomless pit, devoured all the hundreds of Ice Skin Jade Bones.
"Refine for me!" Zhang Xiaohao bellowed.
Mighty True Qi surged crazily into the Three Dragon True Cauldron.
