Chapter 562: Chapter 558: The Arrogant Upper Courtyard Disciple

The pill’s strange fragrance assaulted his senses. Even after it dissolved in his stomach, the peculiar aroma lingered in his nostrils.

Beautiful things are often poisonous.

This fragrant pill, while not poisonous, was even more lethal under certain circumstances.

Especially for women.

Because it was a pill designed specifically for virtuous and unyielding women.

Lin Hao never in his wildest dreams imagined that Liu Bo would feed him such a pill.

At this point, Lin Hao truly wanted to die.

To make matters worse, Liu Bo was watching his expression intently, so Lin Hao didn’t dare make a single rash move.

But a moment later, his mood brightened.

He had discovered that after his muscles were restructured, he was immune to the pill’s effects.

Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Bo moved again.

"No effect? Let’s try this one." Without another word, Liu Bo once again forced a pill into Lin Hao’s mouth.

As another pill entered his mouth, Lin Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He discovered that this, too, was a pill specifically designed for women.

If it weren’t for the serious look on Liu Bo’s face, Lin Hao would have suspected him of being a dirty old man. These were the kinds of pills essential for a lecher.

Once in his stomach, the pill was directly refined by his body, leaving him completely unaffected.

This made Lin Hao wonder if his body had become immune to all poisons.

When another pill proved ineffective, Liu Bo threw caution to the wind and began stuffing pills into Lin Hao nonstop.

He went from feeding them one by one to shoving in a whole handful, nearly choking Lin Hao to death.

And then, Lin Hao discovered the wondrous properties of his physical body.

Pills that were useless to him were refined and vanished without a trace.

Pills that were useful were also refined, becoming nutrients that nourished his body.

This left Lin Hao very satisfied.

Lin Hao might have been satisfied, but Liu Bo was furious.

"Are you some kind of bottomless pit, kid? All my pills, the ones I painstakingly saved for centuries, are in your stomach, yet you’re completely fine!" Liu Bo’s eyes widened as he stared at Lin Hao, his expression one of utter frustration.

Of course, Lin Hao didn’t answer him.

"Even if they don’t help your injuries, shouldn’t there be *some* side effects? Don’t tell me they expired after being stored for so long?" As he spoke, Liu Bo popped the last remaining pill into his own mouth.

At this moment, Lin Hao was struggling to hold back his laughter.

Because the effects of that last pill were very potent. Now that Liu Bo had taken it, the consequences would be...

RUMBLE...

Just then, a loud noise erupted from Liu Bo’s stomach. His expression changed, and with a WHOOSH, he vanished.

Hahaha...

Left alone in the vast cave, Lin Hao couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

’This old man is actually kind of adorable.’

After his fit of laughter, Lin Hao composed himself and began to consider his next move.

Lin Hao discovered a dedicated stone chamber deep within the cave. A wide shaft of sunlight poured in from above, indicating an opening in the ceiling.

Moreover, the ambient worldly energy in the cave was incredibly dense, making it perfect for cultivation.

’A single drop of blood from the Harmony Dominator Body is already this heaven-defying. I can only imagine what level Lin Wu’s cultivation has reached by now. My top priority is to step up my own training.’

Although he had put the past behind him, after his spirit had roamed the great void and witnessed a higher world, Lin Hao knew he still had a long way to go.

’If I want to walk the path to godhood, a battle between me and Lin Wu is inevitable.’

Having set his goal, Lin Hao began to scheme about how to fool Liu Bo.

A moment later, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up.

Then, Lin Hao began to wander around the cave.

Lin Hao knew the effects of that pill quite well. Liu Bo would be gone for at least an hour.

Half an hour later, Lin Hao had already familiarized himself completely with Liu Bo’s residence.

Just then, a young voice drifted in from outside. "Tuoba Yangyu requests an audience with the Fifth Elder."

Lin Hao froze for a second.

Then, the voice spoke again. "Elder, I can hear you breathing. May I come in?"

Hearing this, Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed sharply.

’There’s no one else in this cave but me. The breathing he heard must be mine.’

’That’s terrifying.’

’I must be at least several hundred meters from the entrance, with solid rock in between. For him to hear my breathing under these conditions... I can’t even imagine what realm his cultivation has reached.’

As he was contemplating this, Lin Hao’s brow twitched.

His Spiritual Sense told him the person had already entered.

’This is an elder’s residence. To dare enter without a reply... this person is incredibly bold.’

’Someone like that is either an idiot or supremely confident.’

’An idiot couldn’t get into the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, let alone the upper court where this is located. So he must be the latter.’

With that, Lin Hao became wary of the visitor.

Just as Lin Hao composed himself, a figure entered his line of sight.

Lin Hao maintained a vacant expression, but he took in the person’s entire appearance.

He was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a cyan robe with a dark, beast-patterned belt at his waist. He had a pair of aloof, almond-shaped eyes. Though slender, he exuded a sharp, suffocating aura.

Most importantly, Lin Hao couldn’t see through his cultivation level at all.

’With an air like that, he has to be a disciple from the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s upper court.’

The young man, Tuoba Yangyu, entered the cave. He glanced at Lin Hao without any reaction, a display of blatant disregard.

His aloof eyes swept across the cave. After finding no trace of a second person, his gaze finally settled on Lin Hao.

"You must be Lin Hao. I had wanted to see what you were made of, but now..." Tuoba Yangyu stared intently at Lin Hao for a long moment before shaking his head in disappointment.

By this point, Lin Hao had curled up on the ground, hands clasped over his head, his body trembling violently.

In front of him was a pool of blood, a shocking sight.

Tuoba Yangyu paid it no mind.

Tuoba Yangyu was the young man who had been caught in the crossfire during the duel between Lin Hao and Proud Moon. As soon as his injuries healed, he immediately investigated what had happened.

Upon hearing that the Fifth Elder had brought Lin Hao back, he came directly to the elder’s residence.

He had originally thought Lin Hao might be faking it, which was why he had just applied spiritual pressure on him. The result was clear: Lin Hao reacted like a complete imbecile.

Tuoba Yangyu had no interest in giving such a person a second glance.

Unfortunately for Tuoba Yangyu, he couldn’t have known that while Lin Hao was curled up with his hands over his head, body trembling violently, his face was wreathed in a grin.

Just as Tuoba Yangyu was about to turn and leave, his body stiffened slightly.

"What are you doing?!" At that same moment, a voice boomed from behind Tuoba Yangyu.

On the ground, the grin on Lin Hao’s face grew even wider...
