After the dog died, Hao Ren took a few minutes to gather himself, and hurriedly looked around. He was surprised to see the dog on the ground and it was not moving. He looked up at Reni in a distance to see her looking at him with a surprised expression. At the same time, Si clapped her hands, "Big Brother Ren is the strongest."
Hao Ren walked over to the dog and then at his fist. He looked at the situation and then asked internally, 'System, is this the strength of my special physique?'
*Ding: Host, it is the strength of your special physique.*
Hao Ren took a deep breath and calmed his mind before collecting the tail and talons from the dog corpse. As for the rest, it became Yin's food. The young man ventured deep inside the wilderness, they were heading towards the water source where the Crimson Kelpie could be found. The children were all sitting over the top of a huge tree crown.
The tree was surrounded with an isolation array. They all understood that they were not strong enough and it would cause them to become a burden for the two elders.
Hao Ren suddenly stopped and looked at the bluish grass under his feet. He took a deep breath and said, "I think we are close. Whisker Gendorema grows near blue grass."
Reni nodded and said, "Yes, I will scout ahead and lead the guarding Kelpie away."
Hao Ren nodded and tossed a veil of scent removal potion to Reni, who applied the liquid over her and moved ahead quickly. A few moments later, a loud neigh echoed through the woods. Hao Ren dashed forward and noticed the shallow footmarks on the ground. The two of them had discussed this earlier.
The blue grass was a mutation that was caused because of the Whisker Gendorema trying to cast a camouflage effect.
Hao Ren found that the Kelpie had been led away by Reni. He looked around and quickly found the Whisker Gendorema growing under and around the truck of an old tree that restricted the sunlight from shining on the ground.
Hao Ren smiled and rushed quickly with his knife and began to extract the gendorema on the ground with great efficiency. He was very quick and stored everything in the jade box to prevent them from losing the spiritual essence. The young man did not take it all, he saved a quarter of it that was growing on the front of the tree.
Then he dashed issued a whistle and dashed away after putting the jade box in the space ring. He rushed up to the tree where the children were resting, and he rushed up to tree. A few minutes later, Reni arrived and said, "Young Master, the Kelpie is enraged."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "The trap is set, let's see if Young master Liang will make it through."
Reni nodded and after a few hours, they returned to the city. To cover their tracks, they had the boys drag a few carts filled with first level spirit beasts. The captain of the City Guard happened to be on the ground at that moment and he recognized Reni and greeted, "Oh, greetings, shopkeeper Reni, Chef Hao."
Hao Ren smiled and clasped his hand in greeting. He replied, "Captain Wang, it is a pleasant surprise to see you here."
The man nodded and said, "Chef Hao, I thought you closed the shop to meet your wife? What are you doing here?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "My wife is a warrior and a pure cultivator. She comes to see me once in a while for a small time. So after showing her around the city, she flew away and I decided to go out and procure some supplies for the discounted meal I intend for the customers tomorrow."
Captain Wang was surprised and he exclaimed, "I will be the first one to show up with my family."
Hao Ren was taken aback and then chuckled, "Haha, okay, I will give the dishes of these first level beasts to your children, it would be helpful for them. As for you, I will go and prepare stuff of higher level." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveIꜰire.net
Captain Wang chuckled and then after a round of small talk the people left.
When Hao Ren reached home, they found two girls and a man standing at the front door. Reni stepped up and greeted, "Sister Yan, Sister Xi, Brother Wan."
The three of them smiled faintly and nodded to Reni. Who then made introductions. Hao Ren greeted them all, and welcomed them inside the house. The children followed inside. The boys began to sort the beasts, and the girls used their knives to clean up and extract the meat.
They had been learning this from the past few days, and now Hao Ren let them extract flesh from the beasts on their own. The boys were also very proficient but they were not focused and flexible like the girls.
Reni, Yan, Xi, and Wan were sitting in the living room, and Hao Ren was brewing tea for them. He could sense that the trio was scrutinizing him. As he poured the cup of tea for them, he asked, "How is Mei doing?"
Wan raised his brows and asked, "Lady Mei is fine. She is just busy with something."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Sister Reni, I will go and handle the kids with the food. You can bring them up to the pace here."
The girl nodded and Hao Ren left the room. He did not wish to mingle much, Wan's little reaction did not escape his eyes at all. He stood in the courtyard watching over the children and then he walked up to the maple tree inside the courtyard and sat down with his eyes closed.
Si wanted to rush up to him, but Jian stopped her saying, "Young Master is cultivating, do not disturb him."
Hao Ren meditated to calm his mind for a second before he took out the Qin that was given to him by the Hao Lingxue and began to stroke the strings gently getting used to the notes and the keys. After a few minutes, he plucked the strings and music began to pour out.
At first it was not very good, but then the passive skills of augmented hearing and his senses that had been enhanced by the training with his mother kicked in. He began to improve his skills as the people inside the house discussed the situation.
Reni watched the three people drink tea and she said, "You all may think that you are here for babysitting, however within the past one month, Young Master has climbed from the initial level of Foundation establishment to the peak. He is a step away from Core Formation realm without taking any single supplement."
The people were surprised, Reni continued, "We have started the business battle with the Tao Family and have a strong lead, we are ready for them to cause trouble so that we can retaliate. Also, the Liang Family has gained Young Master's attention, we plan to make a move."
Wan was surprised and asked, "What do you mean? Do you think it is a good thing? If the Liang family found out we will become a hunted target."
Reni frowned and said, "Brother Wan, we are not fools. Young Master had a plan that will make sure things go the way he wants them to, you do not have to worry."
Wan frowned hard when Yan said, "It would be a good thing if we can get through the Liang Family. They have quite a pull in the Warring Nations. I want to know what the Young Master has planned."
Reni nodded and said, "You should visit the wilderness in the morning. It would be fun."
