I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Seeing Li Hao's serious expression, Wu Liangsheng held back for a long time before finally managing to utter a curse word.

"This is utterly foolish! Absolutely incomprehensible!"

Li Hao, of course, wouldn't tolerate him and immediately retorted, "You're the one who's unreasonable! You damned eunuch, how could you possibly understand?"

Wu Liangsheng angrily replied, "Of course I understand! I wasn't born a eunuch. Back in my prime, I also roamed among countless beauties, but I gradually grew tired of them and focused on pursuing the Great Dao."

"Sigh! Never mind, you're still young, it's normal for you not to see through the illusions of the world."

Li Hao was too lazy to argue with him, and instead asked, "Tell me, how can we solve this serious problem?"

Wu Liangsheng remained silent for a moment, probably recalling something, before saying, "Humans, spirits, demons, and monsters—the four realms of beings each have their own characteristics. If you want your new body to become a complete human, you need a treasure unique to the human realm."

"What?"

"The Chaotic Yellow Earth, it is said, is a treasure that is as old as the human world. Since the beginning of time, mountains and rivers have stretched out, birds and beasts have roamed freely, but there have been no human traces. An ancient powerful being, imitating his own appearance, used the Chaotic Yellow Earth as material to create the first humans..."

Li Hao's lips twitched as he listened, and he said, "This ancient powerful being you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be named Nuwa, would you?"

Wu Liangsheng shook his head: "I don't know about that. Anyway, if you want your new body to become human, Chaotic Yellow Soil is the only choice, but this thing is considered the most top-grade natural treasure. Without enough good fortune, you definitely won't see it."

"But I happen to know someone who once possessed a handful of chaotic yellow earth."

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let me guess, this person might just happen to be your enemy, right?"

Wu Liang-sheng was quite frank, admitting directly, "In retrospect, that is indeed the case, but what I said is also true. Many people know that this person possesses the Chaotic Yellow Earth, so I have no reason to lie to you."

Li Hao snorted coldly and said, "You better not be lying to me."

"I can help you get revenge, but before that, I need to know any clues or whereabouts of the Chaotic Yellow Earth. If I find out you're lying to me, I can really make you wish you were dead."

Thinking of the miraculous life-saving item that Li Hao had used before, Wu Liangsheng had no doubt about the truth of his words.

With such a treasure at his disposal, and Li Hao able to replicate it, he truly couldn't die even if he wanted to.

"Don't worry, I'm telling the truth."

Li Hao stopped dwelling on the question of truth and falsehood, and instead asked, "Who is this person? Where do we find him?"

Wu Liangsheng said, "Well, there's no rush."

"This person is not in Dongli Continent. Besides, with your current strength, even if we prepare a new physical body for you, you won't be able to use it."

"The minimum requirement for the soul to leave the body is the Divine Soul Realm, and to be on the safe side, it should be the Earth Soul Realm. You should improve your realm first."

Li Hao scoffed, "What's so difficult about that? Just wait for Chen Jinbao to bring me back the pills, and I'll get you to the Divine Soul Realm in no time."

Wu Liangsheng shook his head and said, "You're wrong again. For the Guiyuan Realm and earlier realms, as long as the resource problem is solved, there really are no bottlenecks."

"As far as I know, some large families require their disciples to advance from the Body Tempering Realm to the Returning Origin Realm within five years, and even that standard is not considered excessive."

"But there is a hurdle between the Returning Origin Realm and the Divine Soul Realm."

Li Hao frowned: "What hurdle?"

Wu Liangsheng said, "This hurdle is generally called a spiritual tribulation."

"There are many ways to overcome spiritual tribulations, but the most common one is through sudden enlightenment."

"I know of a person who, when undergoing a spiritual tribulation, spent three years by a river watching the flowing water, and then suddenly had an epiphany and broke through."

Li Hao's brows furrowed even more; he hadn't expected there to be such a hidden agenda behind this.

But are you sure it's a mental ordeal, and not a tribulation of inner demons?

Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Things will work themselves out. Let's focus on reaching the Guiyuan Realm first before discussing these matters.

"That's enough, let's go."

As Li Hao spoke, he took out a flint and burned the remains of the Three Lives Tree to ashes. Wu Liangsheng also took the opportunity to slip into the ring on Li Hao's hand.

Seeing this, Li Hao suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, what's the name of this ring? It can hold a soul, so it's not also called the Bone Flame Ring, is it?"

Wu Liangsheng's voice echoed in my mind: "It's just for storing a soul, a high-level storage ring will suffice. Why would I bother naming a ring? You're really ignorant."

Li Hao scoffed, "Fine, you've seen so much of the world, you've even lost your physical body, huh?"

"By the way, Zhao Xianle said this is your third time possessing another body and being reborn. You're quite resilient, aren't you?"

Wu Liangsheng didn't elaborate, only saying, "I have my own brilliant plan."

Li Hao pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. After all, even if he asked now, the guy probably wouldn't tell the truth. There would be plenty of opportunities later.

He immediately leaped away and left the secret realm.

……

At the entrance to the secret realm, Li Hao emerged and met up with Zhou Luo.

Next, we need to go back and prepare to nurture those one hundred Core Formation seedlings. However, considering that the Azure Bamboo is planted in the Azure Cloud Sect, it would be best to plant the Yin Locust Tree there as well.

After all, the Song family simply didn't have the means.

Therefore, Li Hao sent Zhou Luo back to inform the others, while he himself went directly to the Qingyun Sect.

After arriving at the Qingyun Sect, they consulted the elders there and chose a place to plant the Yin Huai tree.

After waiting for ten days, Zhou Luoshui and Yue Lu arrived with the selected people.

In the past ten days, Li Hao also selected some people from the Qingyun Sect, bringing the total to more than two hundred.

Li Hao then personally selected the remaining spots again, finally confirming the final list.

The Song family has 30, the Qingyun Sect has 25, the Zhou family has 20, the Liu family (the faction of Liu Qinuo, who has broadened his path) has 15, and the Shuilan Palace has 10.

The Song family is the foundation, so they make up the largest number of people. The Qingyun Sect and the Zhou family are currently closely connected, and they can also occupy forty-five positions.

Liu Jiachun was lucky; Liu Qinuo's single sentence secured fifteen Core Formation experts for his family, which was already a tremendous stroke of luck.

As for Shuilan Palace, why does it occupy the smallest area? Those who know, know.

So, the one hundred people who were selected began their seclusion.

There was an unlimited supply of pills, milk, and immortal totems, and Yang Lu, a Core Formation expert, personally protected him.

According to Wu Liangsheng, the standard for some large families is five years, from physical training to returning to the origin.

Li Hao doesn't need them to reach the Returning Origin Realm, just the Core Formation Realm.

Furthermore, those powerful families may not necessarily have much of an advantage over Li Hao's side now.

They just use better medicine. Li Hao has milk here to clear away negative status effects at any time, plus the Undying Totem, so there's no need to worry about accidents.

Therefore, Li Hao estimated the time.

One year.

He wants all one hundred people to reach the Core Formation stage within a year!
