116: Arrive in Tan Ling Province

A voice came from outside, sounding somewhat unfamiliar.

The two women froze for a moment, then looked up sharply at the person outside the door.

It wasn't that pirate leader?! Who was he?!

"City Lord? What City Lord?! Could it be the City Lord of Linhai City? Did the City Lord really come to save us?"

The two could not believe it and stared blankly at the door.

Soon, a figure came into their view.

This figure was incredibly familiar to them; it was none other than their City Lord of Linhai City!

They had seen his portrait in many places before, and he was deeply beloved by the people of Linhai City.

City Lord Yan walked into the room with a smile on his face and said gently to the two people in the corner, "Do not be afraid, you are safe now."

He then walked up to them, helped the two women up, and led them out of the room.

At this moment, the image of the City Lord in their hearts became incredibly towering.

Thinking of how their families had all died under the pirates' blades, the two suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wanted to seek a way out from the City Lord.

So, they both knelt down together and said, "City Lord, we have no way to repay you for saving our lives. We are now homeless, and we hope the City Lord will take us in..."

City Lord Yan was taken aback by their actions: "No, no, young ladies, I did not save you. Your true savior is Senior Lu!"

"Senior Lu?" The two looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

However, they soon saw Lu Hao. Lu Hao was standing at the bow of the ship, watching City Lord Yan and his group busily saving people.

With just one glance, they were deeply attracted by Lu Hao's unique temperament and handsome appearance.

The two of them were also women of exceptional beauty; otherwise, they wouldn't have been targeted by that Song Heyu.

But looking at Lu Hao's figure, they inevitably felt a sense of inferiority.

That man, his temperament was simply too charming; he didn't seem like someone who existed in real life!

Facing him, they couldn't even bring themselves to think about repaying him. Such an existence was one they could only look up to!

...

The matters on Guanling Island had come to an end, and Lu Hao and the others continued their journey to Danling State.

The tens of thousands of people would naturally live on the island for the time being, and after City Lord Yan delivered Lu Hao to Danling State, he would return to handle their affairs.

Lu Hao was looking forward to what kind of task the System would give him once he reached Danling State!

He was now a bit envious of Lu Xiaolong's Heaven-Defying recovery ability.

The subsequent sea voyage did not encounter any further incidents.

Since catching a Kunpeng last time, Lu Hao hadn't caught any more fish...

He had now finished eating the whole Kunpeng, except for the portions he intended to bring back for his master. He couldn't eat those.

Just like that, two and a half months later, Lu Hao finally saw the land of Danling State from afar!!

The group had long been bored to death at sea, and even Mahjong was no longer effective. Now that they had finally reached their destination, they were all dancing with joy!

"Wow!! Daddy, Daddy! We've arrived!! We're at Danling State! I want to eat yummy things, lots and lots of yummy things!"

Lu Hao patted Lu Xiaolong's head and said dotingly, "Okay, Daddy will buy you lots of yummy things!"

"Moo, moo, moo!"

"Alright, alright, alright, you have a share too. The first thing we will do after going ashore is have a big feast!"

"Yay!"

As for City Lord Yan and the others, they were a bit reluctant to part. Throughout the journey, they had gotten along extremely well with Lu Hao. They respected Lu Hao from the bottom of their hearts.

Someone with such terrifying strength, yet so low-key, without any airs of a powerhouse. Everyone who had come into contact with Lu Hao could feel the easygoing and refined aura emanating from him, and they would all be influenced by his state of mind.

This is what a true Cultivator is... Everyone sighed in their hearts, vowing that for the rest of their lives, they would take Lu Hao as their role model and strive to achieve even one-ten-thousandth of his stature!

Finally, the ship slowly docked, and Lu Hao led the Ox and the Dragon off the boat. They landed on the land of Danling State that they had been longing for.

"Everyone, until we meet again!"

"Senior Lu, until we meet again!"

"Senior Lu, take care!"

Lu Hao watched them leave and waved his hand, hiding a Daoist Magic on their ship. This Daoist Magic could kill Mahayana sea beasts, which should be enough to protect them on their safe return journey.

If it weren't for Lu Hao fishing there whenever he had nothing to do, the strongest sea beast they would have encountered on this journey would only have been in the early Nascent Soul stage.

With everything settled, Lu Hao turned to look at this unfamiliar continent. This was his first time leaving the continent since coming to this world.

[Ding, detected that the host has arrived at Danling State, triggering a System task]

[Become an Alchemy Great Grandmaster, reward: 100,000 years of cultivation, Hongmeng Cultivation Body, one System upgrade!]

"Hmm?" Lu Hao was originally sitting leisurely on the back of the Stubborn Ox, looking curiously at this state he had arrived at for the first time. Suddenly, he heard the System's prompt.

"Hongmeng Cultivation Body? What is it used for?"

[Host, the Hongmeng Cultivation Body is the strongest cultivation Physique in history!]

He was so shocked that he jumped straight off the ox's back! The strongest cultivation Physique in history! The strongest cultivation Physique in history! The strongest cultivation Physique in history! My god!

He had been troubled by his Physique for a long time. A naturally trash Physique! The speed of absorbing cultivation was extremely slow!

Every time the System's 10,000-fold return or the cultivation from completing tasks occurred, most of it was wasted by his naturally trash Physique. Even if he only possessed the worst low-grade Spiritual Root, he wouldn't only be at Mahayana Perfection right now.

This was definitely a more useful Physique for Lu Hao than the recovery ability!!

Looking at the Hongmeng Cultivation Body offered as a task reward, Lu Hao was almost drooling! He wished he could complete it on the spot. Furthermore, the completion reward also included a System upgrade.

In the long run, the increase in the System's Rank was essentially the most important thing. Lu Hao's eyes turned red; he was determined to get this reward!

However, he was currently in a state where he only understood one out of seven parts regarding Alchemy. What should he do? How was he supposed to practice Alchemy...

After a while, Lu Hao slowly calmed down. Lu Hao smiled and patted the Stubborn Ox beneath him, saying with a smile, "This matter cannot be rushed; it can only be grinded out over time."

He was prepared to spend a lot of time to complete this task. This Alchemy Great Grandmaster title, no matter how long it took, he was determined to achieve it!

"Moo?"

"Hahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing, Stubborn Ox, let's go."

...

Not long after walking, Lu Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a thought flashed through his mind. He asked the System, "System, can the cultivation returned to me be temporarily stored instead of being returned to me?"
