I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Wang Yizhou and Chen Jinbao left, but they did not leave Yue Kingdom directly. Instead, they went to the Zhou family to deliver the things they had prepared for them.

This matter had nothing to do with Li Hao anymore. After they left, Li Hao picked up the storage ring they had just brought him.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were quite a few things inside.

As per Li Hao's request, the quantity of pills was not important, but the variety had to be complete. Therefore, this storage ring contained more than a thousand kinds of pills, ranging from grade one to grade seven.

Needless to say, it was Wang Yizhou, the leader of the Southern Branch, who must have raised the money; otherwise, Chen Jinbao wouldn't have been able to do so.

Just as Li Hao was examining the pills, Wu Liangsheng floated out.

His expression darkened, revealing a hint of suspicion and questioning.

"Why did you send the Medicine Tower to collect Chaos Yellow Earth for you?"

Li Hao, without even looking up, said, "You need Chaotic Yellow Soil, and I need Chaotic Yellow Soil too. Wouldn't it be better if multiple forces helped us find it?"

Wu Liang-sheng: "Of course not!"

He's not stupid. His value lies in finding the Chaos Yellow Earth. If this can be replaced by other forces, then is his value still unique?

Without uniqueness, his safety cannot be guaranteed.

He had no doubt that Li Hao could break through to the Divine Soul Realm; the only question was how long it would take.

Once Li Hao reaches the Divine Soul Realm, and I no longer have enough value, wouldn't I become a lamb to the slaughter?

Li Hao is saying nice things now, that everyone will have a new body, but if he doesn't honor it later, there's nothing I can do.

Now, he couldn't help but suspect that Li Hao's purpose in sending the Medicine Tower to find the Chaos Yellow Soil was also to eliminate his advantage!

In fact.

Li Hao really thought so.

After all, having only one thing is too risky, so having multiple preparations is always a good thing.

But like I said, he did it, what can you do about it?

"If you feel a sense of crisis, then find ways to demonstrate your value, instead of doing foolish things like coming to question me."

Li Hao said frankly, tossing the storage ring to him: "Alright, get to work."

"I don't recognize most of the pills here. Can you identify them and tell me what they do?"

Wu Liangsheng silently accepted it. He knew that he had no choice but to accept it for now.

After scanning the area, he raised an eyebrow and took out two jade bottles, one green and one red, each covered with a sealing array.

"That Wang Yizhou is really thoughtful, he even prepared Heavenly Frost Fiend and Blood Vengeance Flame for you."

Li Hao reached out and took the two bottles. One was cold and the other was hot, which was quite peculiar.

"What the hell?"

Wu Liangsheng explained, "There are many rare and precious materials in the world, including the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Flames and the Seventy-Two Yin Fiends, which are formed by the condensation of the most Yin and Yang energies between heaven and earth."

"If you use these two things to break through the Yin-Yang Dual Realm, your potential will be much higher."

"You've wasted your time planting that shady locust tree."

Li Hao stroked the two bottles and laughed, "They're not exactly white seeds. I may not need them, but others can."

"By the way, what about the gold and earth elements?"

Wu Liangsheng picked out two more bottles of pills and tossed them to Li Hao, then said, "I've prepared enough pills for you, from Body Tempering to Returning to Origin Realm. But even if you can replicate them and repeatedly take the same kind of pill, your tolerance will develop, and the effect will eventually be greatly reduced."

"You really intend to break through to the Returning Origin Realm in just one year? I have a feeling that's a bit difficult."

To this, Li Hao simply smiled and said, "I can't reason with someone as naive as you."

"Alright, I'm going into seclusion. What do you say to that?"

Wu Liangsheng paused for a moment, then said, "I'll accompany you. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, feel free to ask me."

Li Hao nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, this guy wasn't stupid. He had just reminded him to demonstrate his value, and he had already found a way.

Wu Liangsheng was, after all, a Heavenly Soul Realm cultivator. He had already traversed the paths before the Heavenly Soul Realm. With such a close guide, Li Hao would undoubtedly avoid many detours in his cultivation.

Although this is an advantage that can be replaced, for Li Hao, why bother looking for someone else when he already has this close companion?

"Alright, hurry up and choose a set of pills for me. I need to save them for those hundred people. Once they're ready, I'll begin my seclusion."

Li Hao got up and walked towards the back mountain. Wu Liangsheng, with his extensive knowledge, quickly devised a set of pills most suitable for improving cultivation.

Li Hao then made tens of thousands of copies and handed them over to Shen Lingyan, before calling Song Yuqi over.

"Big brother, you were looking for me?"

Song Yuqi is now married, but she doesn't look much different from before.

Li Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've had a good time lately, haven't you? You're about to start to suffer."

Song Yuqi was already prepared and said with high spirits, "Don't worry, brother, I can handle it!"

Li Hao didn't say much, and led him into a secret chamber specifically used for seclusion.

Most of the hundred Core Formation cultivators were from the Song family, but Li Hao still felt that they needed someone to keep things in order.

Therefore, he planned to elevate Song Yuqi to the Yin Extreme Realm.

As for why we don't keep raising it higher, the reason is actually quite simple.

Every realm has its own troubles. He had no intention of expanding the Song family's influence. He was content to live a peaceful life in Yue for many years.

Having a Yin Realm expert here is comparable to frying fish; it's enough to handle all the trouble.

A higher level of cultivation is not very meaningful and may even bring other troubles.

So, that's good enough.

……

Although the two brothers went into seclusion, Li Hao's influence did not disappear.

Song Baicheng was extremely busy. Various families were going to arrange marriages, and those who were dealing with the royal family, the Tang family, and those searching for treasures had to be given spirit stones and pills according to the standards.

In the following months, the Song family held one wedding after another. Many of the families who came to offer their congratulations simply bought houses in Yancheng to avoid having to travel back and forth.

As for the mountain of treasures that Li Hao poured out back then, it was actually too much to spend later on.

How many people are there in total, including the main royal family and the Zhou family, plus the families that plotted against Song Yushu?

They searched through all the forests and mountains in Vietnam, some places even becoming overcrowded. How many treasures could they possibly have?

In the final stages, Song Baicheng even gave out a considerable amount more before finally managing to spend all of this treasure mountain.

Of course, this was something Li Hao specifically requested.

After all, wealth is a powerful motivator; once it's displayed and spent, it won't attract any powerful threats.

At the same time, this crazy spending spree actually led to a significant increase in the overall strength of the Yue Kingdom.

After all, spirit stones are also resources used for cultivation.

Overall, things are moving in a positive direction.

However, as time went by, the Yue Kingdom grew stronger and stronger, but things on its borders began to become somewhat disharmonious.

Beyond the towering city walls on the northern border of the Yue Kingdom.

Many people from other countries gathered here, making a lot of noise.

"Let me in! I shed blood for Yue, I risked my life for Yue! Why won't you let me in!"

"Actually, I've been a citizen of Yue for a long time! Let me in quickly! Father! I'm Liu Lu! Take me in!"
