Long Hao's body flashed into the second layer of the attic. The second floor was Senior Sister Lu Yao's living quarters, where Long Hao spotted some clothes that made his heart race. The atmosphere was filled with a faint fragrance, causing his heart to beat faster. However, he quickly regained his composure and descended to the first floor.
The first floor turned out to be a pill refining room. Upon entering, Long Hao felt a potent aura of heat. In the center stood a pill cauldron, ancient in appearance, emanating a faint, dazzling light—a remarkable Spirit Artifact.
On the shelves surrounding the pill cauldron, various jade bottles displayed names of different medicine pills.
Stopping Blood Pill, Fleshy Body Pill, Refining Qi Pill, Spirit Raising Pill…
There were dozens of types of medicine pills, all of exceptional quality, marveling Long Hao.
"Senior Sister Lu Yao's reputation in Pill Dao is indeed well-deserved. Even an Elder praised her and accepted her as a true disciple upon reaching Golden Core Realm. It seems the rumors are true!"
Long Hao whispered to himself, recognizing the significance of these spirit pills within Big Dipper Holy Land. Lu Yao, with her Transcendent Realm cultivation base, had refined numerous spirit pills, showcasing her extraordinary talent in Pill Dao.
Even though Long Hao was ignorant about the specifics of these pills, he realized that taking them all would likely bring trouble. Eventually, he located the Transforming Dragon Pill on a shelf.
"Is this the Transforming Dragon Pill?"
Opening the jade bottle, Long Hao found a light golden pill with a fragrant scent. The spirit within him surged, and an immediate desire to consume the pill arose. However, Long Hao resisted and shifted his attention to the pill cauldron.
"Is this a medicine pill? From the pill aura, it seems this medicine pill has been preserved for at least ten years. What kind of medicine pill is this?"
Bright glow flashed in Long Hao's eyes, and curiosity arose within him.
"Let's take a look!"
Long Hao made a decisive choice. The medicine pill in the pill cauldron had been preserved for over a decade, indicating its extraordinary nature. Long Hao decided to open it.
Recalling Burning Heaven Demon Emperor's method of opening a pill cauldron, Long Hao shot his palm toward the cauldron. His palm moved with a peculiar rhythm, causing the cauldron to shake. Finally, radiant light bloomed, and a golden light shot out.
Quick to react, Long Hao caught the light in his palm.
"This is... Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill?!"
Long Hao was astonished, his eyes reflecting disbelief.
The medicine pill emitted a golden light, resembling a beating heart with seven halos connected to each other. It possessed incredible energy, identified by Long Hao as Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill—the kind of pill that could transform one's body into a treasure. Even powerhouses in Law Manifestation Realm or Nirvana Realm would be attracted to such a treasure.
This pill was a precious and unattainable treasure.
Long Hao's desire surged, realizing that swallowing the Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill could help him open his dragon vein and enhance his strength with Flood Dragon power.
"This Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill is a thousand times more precious than the Transforming Dragon Pill. No wonder it has been preserved for ten years! And it's not even something Senior Sister Lu Yao refined; someone else must have given it to her!"
Long Hao thought to himself.
"Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill, I must obtain it! Senior Sister Lu Yao, today I'll take your Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill, and I'll consider it even!"
After a brief hesitation, Long Hao decided to take the Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill. Gazing at the pill, he swallowed it.
Bang!
The Seven Apertures Dragon Heart Pill instantly transformed into a vast torrent moving towards Long Hao's body. However, Long Hao immediately activated Primal Chaos Ancestral Dragon Secret Art, suppressing the medicinal power within him. Now was not the right time for cultivation.
"This Transforming Dragon Pill can be given to Li Xueru, but I can't have any traces of its pill aura on me. After all, I've never been to Senior Sister Lu Yao's residence!"
Long Hao chuckled, using Primal Chaos Ancestral Dragon Secret Art to completely erase the pill aura of the Transforming Dragon Pill. He carefully grabbed the jade bottle containing the pill and left the residence.
Above the Heavenly Star Stone Bridge, Li Xueru and the others were becoming impatient. When Long Hao's silhouette appeared in the distance, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Big Brother Hao, how was it? Did you retrieve the Transforming Dragon Pill?"
Li Xueru's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Of course, it was retrieved! Younger Sister Xueru, I risked my life for you. You must not forget my sacrifice!"
Long Hao smiled slightly.
"I will never forget you, my dear big brother! Give me the Transforming Dragon Pill!"
Li Xueru's eyes showed a hint of disdain, but she continued to pretend to be emotional.
"Tsk tsk... This acting is even better than the Shadow Emperor on Earth!"
Long Hao sneered inwardly.
But on the surface, he did not reveal his thoughts. Instead, he handed Li Xueru the Hidden Spirit Ring and the jade bottle.
"Younger Sister Xueru, here is the Hidden Spirit Ring and the Transforming Dragon Pill—all for you!"
Li Xueru was slightly surprised when Long Hao returned the Hidden Spirit Ring. This wasn't part of her plan; after all, the Hidden Spirit Ring was a criminal tool, and she considered it safe in Long Hao's possession.
While Li Xueru was still contemplating this, her attention was drawn to the jade bottle. She seemed to be holding her breath, eagerly anticipating its opening.
Sou!
Before Li Xueru could open the jade bottle, Long Hao suddenly stepped back, increasing the distance between them.
"Big Brother Hao, what are you doing?"
Li Xueru was puzzled by Long Hao's sudden actions.
Without answering, Long Hao moved closer to Li Xueru, grinning and revealing his white teeth. Then, he slammed his palm against his chest.
Pu!
Long Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and unleashed all his strength, shouting, "Li Xueru, you deceitful woman! Daring to steal Senior Sister Lu Yao's Transforming Dragon Pill? You even want to kill me? Long Hao would rather die than submit!"
