Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 281 Qi Daolin

Shi Hao worked quickly and soon prepared the deer antlers, put them in the pot, added some medicinal herbs and seasonings, and soon an enticing aroma filled the air.

"Your skills are getting better and better."

Watching Shi Hao's skillful movements, Shi An couldn't help but tease him, his eyes full of doting affection.

"hey-hey."

Shi Hao simply chuckled twice and then invited everyone to sit down.

Soon, the group sat around the pot, enjoying the food and chatting.

Shi An asked first, "Brother, when did you arrive in the Upper Realm? And why did you come to the Celestial Academy?"

"I came here six months ago..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately recounted his experiences over the past period.

It turns out that Shi Hao had arrived in the Upper Realm half a year ago, which was when Shi An had just left the Heavenly River Secret Realm.

Six months ago, with the help of Liu Shen, Shi Hao successfully crossed the boundary wall and arrived in the Sin State!

Indeed, just as Liu Shen sent Shi Hao to Tianzhou, Liu Shen directly sent Shi Hao to Zuizhou.

In the Sinful State, just like in the original story, Shi Hao encountered the demon dragon Daoist cultivators who guarded the Sinful Blood lineage, and also learned some legends about the Sinful Blood.

After that, he found Huo Ling'er, and then, whether influenced by Shi An or something else, he didn't know.

This time, when Shi Hao met Huo Ling'er again, he didn't hesitate at all and directly established a relationship with her. He even used the experiences of Shi An and the others to successfully persuade Huo Ling'er to travel with him.

As for why the two appeared at the Celestial Academy, it was because before ascending to the Upper Realm, Shi Hao had asked Liu Shen how he could see his little brother An again.

That's why the two of them appeared at the Celestial Academy.

"I see."

After listening to Shi Hao's explanation, Shi An nodded slightly, then stared at his chest and asked in confusion, "Then why is the Supreme Bone in your body gone again?"

"This one..."

Upon hearing Shi An inquire about his Supreme Bone, Shi Hao couldn't help but reach out and touch the spot where the Supreme Bone had originally been, then smiled wryly: "I asked Willow God to give it to my younger brother, Qin Hao!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing that Shi Hao had actually given the Supreme Bone to Qin Hao, Yun Xi and even Huo Ling'er were all shocked.

She had never heard him mention before that he had given away the Supreme Bone!
"Why did you do that? Why did you give away the Supreme Bone?"

The next moment, Huo Ling'er's eyes reddened slightly, and even her voice carried a hint of urgency and heartache: "That is your Supreme Bone, do you know what it means to you?"

Seeing Huo Ling'er's anxious expression, Shi Hao felt a warmth in his heart. He then reached out and gently took her hand, saying softly, "Ling'er, don't worry. Even without that bone, I will still be invincible in the world and suppress all ages!"

Shi Hao's gaze was firm, his eyes revealing an unwavering confidence—a powerful belief that originated from the depths of his soul. He was confident that even without the Supreme Bone, he could still stand out from the crowd.

Perhaps it was the strong conviction in Shi Hao's words that caused a different kind of light to appear in Huo Ling'er's beautiful eyes, who had initially been somewhat worried. Indeed, he was never one to give up easily; if he had done this, he had his reasons.

Thinking about it, Huo Ling'er still felt quite sorry for Shi Hao and gently rubbed his chest, whispering, "You rascal, that's a Supreme Bone! You just gave it away like that, really..."

"boom!"

As she spoke, Huo Ling'er unconsciously gave the other person's chest a light tap.

What could Shi Hao say in response? He could only scratch his head and smile. Then he turned to Shi An and said, "Let's not talk about me anymore. Brother, how have you been in the Upper Realm these past two years? How did you end up joining the Celestial Academy?"

"Me...?"

When Shi Hao asked about him, Shi An couldn't help but glance at Yun Xi, and then told her about his experiences since arriving in the Upper Realm, including the matter of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword.

Because he didn't feel the need to hide anything from Shi Hao.

"So, you've acquired another celestial artifact, and a complete one at that?!"

After hearing Shi An's account, Shi Hao's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. He even forgot to drink the deer antler soup in his hand.

After a while, he grinned and said, "No wonder he's my brother! His luck is simply incredible!"

"Not only did he obtain a flawed immortal artifact in the lower realm, but upon arriving in the upper realm, he directly obtained a complete immortal artifact, which was even the weapon of an immortal king."

"Don't listen to his boasting."

Seeing this, Yun Xi, who was sitting next to Shi An, couldn't help but chuckle. Then, while raising her hand to brush the dust off Shi An's shoulder, she said softly, "That day, we went through all sorts of hardships and risked dying in that space to finally obtain the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword."

After saying that, Yunxi seemed unwilling to mention the scenery of that day, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "As for you, judging from what you said before, you have been cultivating hard these past few days. I wonder what kind of hardship you have been cultivating that made you complain?"

"Yes, a bad embryo!"

Yunxi's words clearly reminded Huo Ling'er, who quickly looked up at Shi Hao with a puzzled expression: "What exactly have you been cultivating these past few days?"

"Don't mention it."

Facing their gazes, Shi Hao's face immediately fell, and he sighed, "You don't know, that old man is simply a madman. He said that in order to make my body, technique, and spirit become one, he would cultivate his so-called invincible technique—the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique!"

"They actually made me carry this mountain on my back and run like crazy every day, and they wouldn't even let me use my magic! I'm just...!"

In the end, Shi Hao almost couldn't help but swear, but he stopped himself instantly. It wasn't that he had no words, but rather that a figure appeared before him—the figure of an old man with an air of otherworldly grace.

"The Dao... Dao Master!"

Shi Hao's voice abruptly stopped, as if his tongue had suddenly tied itself in knots. The soup ladle in his hand clattered into the pot, splashing a lot of soup. His face was full of astonishment and embarrassment.
He subconsciously stood up, looking at Qi Daolin who had suddenly appeared with a somewhat helpless expression.

Following his gaze, everyone saw an old man dressed in a dazzling golden Taoist robe, looking like a sage with an air of otherworldly grace, standing not far away. He had a half-smile on his face, and Taoist runes flowed among the fluttering fabric of his robe. It was none other than Qi Daolin.

"You little rascal, talking badly about your teacher behind his back, you've really got some nerve!"

Qi Daolin strolled over slowly with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Shi Hao before looking at Shi An and the others. He nodded slightly and said, "You've been running around quite a bit these past few days and have even made some new friends."
