【Backpack, 30 cubic meters! 】

"It's still the third level of the Human Rank, the Bone Refining Realm. Even though it has reached the level of Ice Skin and Jade Bones, the special effects haven't appeared!?!"

Xu Hao felt the situation inside his body and sighed slightly.

Originally, he thought that such a good Earth-level opportunity was created by the Hehuan Sect at great expense and time, and that it would allow him to break through to the fourth level of the human level, the Blood Refining Realm, in one step.

The result is no!

His level is still at the Bone Refining Realm.

If someone else had a Blood Essence Pill refined by the Hehuan Sect, it would probably have raised their level by more than one or two, but for Xu Hao, it didn't even raise his level by one.

No wonder the Taotie Method was included in the Zhenfu Division and placed under the bookshelf as a footstool.

Fortunately, Xu Hao also gained other things.

Xu Hao originally had mediocre talent. After a training session, although his talent improved a lot, it was still inferior to geniuses and monsters. But now, through the Taotie method and the Essence Blood Pill, he directly cultivated to the realm where monsters need to spend a lot of energy and material resources, and his body is as cold as ice and as beautiful as jade.

This is the realm that many powerful people in the Bone Refining Realm dream of.

Xu Hao felt the tremendous power in his body. He picked up the standard long sword and swung it, feeling powerful from the bottom of his heart.

At his current level, he felt that even cross-border battles would not be difficult at all.

"The next step is to find more resources, and then rely on the Taotie method to condense the characteristics!" Xu Hao was thinking about the future.

Being strong alone is not enough, you also need characteristics.

Because each feature has a huge bonus.

For example, the defense bonus and strength bonus that Xu Hao obtained in the first two realms, just these two are enough to make Xu Hao dominate among the same level.

Xu Hao practiced the Soul-Breaking Sword and Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas again before starting to wash up.

He was ready to wash away the scent of spices that had been burning all night.

It would be best if he did not have any special aura. After all, he wanted to search for opportunities in the palace, so he could not leave too many loopholes.

After everything was ready, Xu Hao took out five thousand taels of silver and put the rest of the money into the virtual panel backpack before he opened the door.

After a while, they arrived at the Xu family's restaurant.

Xu Hao walked into the restaurant and looked at Xu Qianzhi, who had been waiting at the table. He then handed the five thousand taels of silver to Xu Qianzhi and said directly, "Don't do any unclear business in the future!"

"I save that!" Xu Qianzhi nodded.

He also has to think about his son.

As a small flag of the imperial guard, there is no need to get involved in some industries, otherwise it will become an excuse for others in the court to attack you.

In addition to the huge losses this time and the influence of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, Xu Qianzhi felt that he could just enjoy his retirement in peace.

"Yeah!" Xu Hao nodded. After breakfast, he picked up his standard long sword and headed to the Imperial Palace Avenue to go to battle.

There are many people walking on the street even in the early morning.

Xu Hao heard the lively hawking sounds all around him, and then headed straight for the Imperial Palace Avenue.

"Hmm?" Xu Hao felt something was wrong the moment he arrived at the Imperial Palace Avenue.

Because the security was so strict, powerful men from the Pacification Division would occasionally pass by. Xu Hao didn't ask any questions and headed straight for his garrison area.

"Boss, after you left last night, something happened at Villa No. 39!" A guard saw Xu Hao coming and hurried forward to report.

"What happened?" Xu Hao asked.

Although I have a rough guess about what it is, I still have to ask the questions I have at this moment.

"There are remnants of the Hehuan Sect in Villa No. 39, and a eunuch from the palace has died!" The guards hurriedly reported everything they knew in detail.

"It seems that there will be martial law for a period of time!" Xu Hao thought of the strong man from the Pacification Bureau he met during the holiday. He felt that there would definitely be a wave of inspections in the villas of the imperial palace.

Just as Xu Hao thought, after all the guards reported for duty, strong men from the Pacification Office arrived and ordered everyone to do their duties and not leave even a step. They also had to guard the surroundings and not let anyone in or out.

This order immediately made Xu Hao feel unhappy.

Because if he can't move around randomly, he can't go to other directions to consume the opportunity to refresh the divination points.

A day's opportunity was wasted.

But Xu Hao didn't dare to express it.

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

What's more, this is the imperial palace, and it's not Xu Hao's turn to complain.

Xu Hao stayed in the room and didn't go anywhere. He could also practice the Soul-Breaking Sword and Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas.

The day passed quickly without any accidents.

Just as the time came and Xu Hao was about to leave, a guard ran over and said sternly, "Boss, Chen Changhe and the others haven't been released yet. What should we do about this patrol?"

The configuration of an area on the Imperial Palace Avenue requires five guards.

Because of the Qingyuan Hehuan Sect incident, Chen Changhe and others were arrested and are still in the Zhenfu Division Prison, resulting in them being completely short of manpower.

It is impossible to be on duty 24 hours a day.

Because even a warrior cannot bear it.

"Huh? They haven't been released yet?" Xu Hao turned his head and frowned immediately.

It's harmless to listen to some music during your break.

He was just implicated for a while, and he should be released in a day or two!
"No, people were also arrested in other areas and haven't come out yet!" said the guard.

"I understand. You guys have to work hard today. I'll go to the general flag!" Xu Hao pondered for a moment, turned around, and ran towards the station of the general flag of the imperial guard on the Imperial Palace Avenue.

When Xu Hao arrived here, the place was already bustling with noise.

Obviously, other teams were also implicated.

It would be fine for one or two days, but if no proper personnel arrive in the next few days, we won’t be able to continue patrolling.

Xu Hao knocked on the door and entered the room. After listening to the complaints of other small flags, he stood aside, waiting for the decision of the general flag.

"Everyone, there's nothing we can do about this. The Pacification Office needs to conduct a thorough investigation. Furthermore, after what happened last night, we can't afford to be careless!" General Huang Guangyao sighed and continued, "I'll let you brothers handle this. Tomorrow, if you don't release them, I'll report this to the higher authorities!"

The other flags looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

It seems that we can't leave and have to continue patrolling ourselves.

Xu Hao was delighted when he heard the result.

He also said he couldn't find any opportunities to stroll around.

Isn’t this coming?
By then, even if Xu Hao wanders off to some places, he will have an excuse.

What's more, to seek opportunities through divination, one only needs to go to a specific place at a specific time. If one is careful, one will not be exposed at all.

Xu Hao rubbed his hands, returned to his garrison, and waited for dark.
