Urban God-level Youth
Chapter 1027 - 1026: Secluded Cultivation

"Essence of the medicinal juice? Where is it?" Qin Hao sized it up.

The Millennium Blood Ginseng hurriedly conjured a drop of essence from one of its roots, blood-red and lush, with a fragrant scent.

This single drop of medicinal liquid essence contained much more essence of heaven and earth than a single root, and Qin Hao, eating it like this, could not fully exert its effects.

Qin Hao looked at the essence of the medicinal juice floating in the void and nodded slightly: "Not bad, it indeed contains plenty of the essence of the sun and moon."

"Brother, I wouldn't lie to you," the Millennium Blood Ginseng said in a somewhat fawning tone.

Qin Hao said, "Just this one drop isn't enough for me to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm. Give me a few more drops. If it's not enough for me to break through, I'll cook and eat you."

Upon hearing this, the Millennium Blood Ginseng trembled and hurriedly squeezed out four more drops: "Brother, is this enough?"

"You tell me if it's enough. This is your essence; don't you know it?" Qin Hao looked at it and asked back.

The Millennium Blood Ginseng hesitated for a moment and then conjured two more drops. At this point, its body looked visibly smaller than before due to the consumption of its essence.

"These seven drops are definitely enough," it said.

...

The people outside looked at each other in dismay. Those close to Zhou Wantong could already clearly feel his uncontrolled aura leaking out.

This bastard is actually squandering my Millennium Blood Ginseng like this. Damn it, I must not forgive him, I must torment him.

Let him know the might of this old man.

Qin Hao looked at the Millennium Blood Ginseng and said, "You must have nearly a hundred roots, hurry up and squeeze out twenty more drops, stop dawdling."

Twenty drops?

"Brother, just kill me. Twenty drops would be my death sentence," the Millennium Blood Ginseng cried out mournfully.

Qin Hao looked towards Xian Yin: "Xian Yin, take out your medicine cauldron and stew it."

The Millennium Blood Ginseng hastily said, "No, brother, how about ten drops? Twenty drops and I'll really suffer severe loss of vitality."

"As long as you won't die, a little loss of vitality is no big deal. Hurry up, stop dawdling, my patience is limited." Qin Hao placed one hand on its roots.

Man is the knife, I am the fish.

The Millennium Blood Ginseng could only yield; survival was most important now, and the essence of the medicinal liquid could slowly be restored.

It ultimately submitted to Qin Hao's coercion and conjured twenty drops of essence, its body shrunk by more than half.

Qin Hao looked at it and said, "I see you could conjure another ten or eight drops without much issue?"

"Brother, I can't, I really can't…" The Millennium Blood Ginseng was on the verge of tears. For such a rare treasure, anyone who obtained it would treat it like a precious jewel, when had it ever been treated this way?

Qin Hao said, "Fine, we'll discuss this after I come out from closed-door training."

Having said that, he distributed four drops of Spiritual Liquid a day to Xian Yin, Ye Lingyi, and the other three: "You guys should cultivate as well, we'll hunt down beasts after we exit closed-door training."

Ye Lingyi and the others were momentarily stunned, feeling infinitely grateful in their hearts: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin," Dong Mengqi, Wu Yutong, and Gao Linglong also expressed their gratitude.

Qin Hao smiled slightly: "It's nothing, make sure to refine it quickly. If you take too long, your points will drop significantly."

The group began to refine and absorb the medicinal essence of the Millennium Blood Ginseng inside the cave.

Each drop of medicinal liquid essence contained a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. In addition to Spiritual Energy, there were also some weak fragments of the Dao of Heaven's laws. It all still depended on one's own perception and talent.

...

Before going into closed-door training, Qin Hao looked at his score, which had already reached nine hundred twenty thousand, ranking first on the scoreboard.

The second place only had six hundred thousand, which was Ning Ziyuan, the young beauty Qin Hao had once met in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

The third was Mao Yunlong from the Green Cloud Sect, with over four hundred thousand points.

After inspecting the scoreboard, Qin Hao started his closed-door training to absorb and refine the medicinal liquid essence.

Day by day passed, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Hao and his party had been in closed-door training for a week inside the cave.

They showed no signs of awakening, but their auras had grown much stronger than a week ago.

They were still refining and absorbing the medicinal liquid essence of the Millennium Blood Ginseng.

The outside broadcast occasionally showed scenes of them in closed training, but quickly moved on, as there wasn't much to focus on now.

Although Zhou Wantong wanted to keep an eye on Qin Hao, doing so would arouse suspicion among others.

Half a month later, a powerful aura emanated from the cave where Qin Hao was located, causing the ancient trees outside the cave to rustle.

Xian Yin opened her eyes; she was the first to finish absorbing, her realm had reached the Half-step Heavenly Realm, skipping a whole level.

Because she cultivated the Burning Moon Immortal Scripture, a top-tier Cultivation Technique, her speed of refinement and absorption was much faster than Ye Lingyi and the others.

Seeing that the others showed no signs of awakening, she quietly walked out of the cave, wanting to find a demon beast nearby to test her strength.

Another ten days passed, and the second to awaken was Dong Mengqi, who broke through to the Early Stage of Heavenly Human Realm, greatly increasing her strength.

On the same day, in the afternoon, Ye Lingyi, Wu Yutong, and Gao Linglong also broke through.

But Qin Hao showed no signs of activity because his Cultivation Technique was too strong, requiring more Spiritual Energy for breakthroughs than ordinary cultivators.

At this moment, Xian Yin, Ye Lingyi, and the others' rankings had dropped below ten thousand because they hadn't increased their points in over twenty days.

The group teamed up to hunt for demon beasts near the cave; demon beasts near the cave were almost all at the Late Stage of Heavenly Human Realm, very powerful.

Among them, Xian Yin's realm was the lowest, but she showed the strongest combat power. Together, they could slay two or three demon beasts at the Late Stage of Heavenly Human Realm in a day.

...

On the thirtieth day of Qin Hao's closed-door training, around nine in the morning, the peak where Qin Hao was training suddenly gathered dark clouds, with thunder rolling.

An oppressive aura emanated from the clouds, causing Xian Yin and the others outside to have a slight change in their expressions.

What's going on??

The clouds churned, blue lightning roared and shone, and the clouds churned more violently, as if something was stirring the storm within them.

After ten minutes, more clouds gathered, the sky was dark and oppressive, like the end of the world was coming.

"Boom"

A cyan lightning column descended from the void, striking the center of the clouds, causing the secret realm to tremble faintly, and the churning of the clouds intensified,

Soon, the originally blue thunder power turned cyan.

This situation caught the attention of Zhou Wantong outside, who immediately fixed the broadcast on Qin Hao's location.

"What... what is this??" The people outside were stunned seeing the large clouds flickering with cyan thunder power.

"Cyan thunder? What kind of thunder is this?" Someone seeing it for the first time was puzzled.

"What's going on? Why did the broadcast come here? Is someone going through a tribulation??"
