201: A year of leisurely life

As a Personal Disciple, Yin Xiaotong naturally stayed by Lu Hao's side, making it convenient for him to guide her at any time. She still lived in the room next to Lu Hao's courtyard.

The smooth recruitment of Disciples this time was inseparable from the huge commotion caused by Yin Xiaotong; otherwise, the Three Great Sects would have stopped him from the very beginning.

Currently, relying solely on his own strength, he might not be a match for the combined power of the Three Great Sects.

And if he were to use an Advanced Magic Treasure, the commotion would be too great. After the incident in the Netherworld, Lu Hao has been extremely restrained with these Magic Treasures, avoiding their use whenever possible.

He hasn't fully matured yet, so it's best not to expose too much now. Who knows if some terrifying existence might target the supreme treasures in his possession!

If a true Heavenly Immortal were to appear now, even Lu Hao, with all his Magic Treasures, would likely struggle to block him.

His eldest Disciple is a Reincarnation of a Heavenly Immortal, so even if a true Heavenly Immortal were to suddenly appear one day, Lu Hao probably wouldn't be too surprised.

That's why even when he established a Sect, he chose such a remote location. If it weren't for the need to return Cultivation, he wouldn't have even acted at the Alchemy conference to recruit these Disciples.

It was truly unavoidable. The Cultivation he needed for his Breakthrough was already substantial, and relying solely on Yin Xiaotong was indeed too slow.

However, all the way back, he concealed his tracks. Now, apart from Yin Xinghai, no one else knows his whereabouts.

The Formation he had set up inside and outside the Sect also had a concealing effect. Even if an ordinary Cultivator flew past, they wouldn't detect the presence of a Sect within.

In short, everything is now ready. He just needs to patiently wait for the Cultivation to be returned after his Disciples' Breakthrough!

I hope you don't disappoint me and help me complete this task as soon as possible!

Also, I wonder what Realm the Cultivation I've accumulated will allow me to reach!

Lu Hao's life once again returned to peace.

In fact, his life has always been very simple. He only chooses to go out when absolutely necessary; otherwise, he prefers to enjoy this leisurely lifestyle.

However, after taking on ten thousand Disciples, Lu Hao also began to learn how to refine eighth-grade Medicinal Pills.

Initially, Lu Hao often failed, but later, as Breakthroughs continuously occurred among the ten thousand Disciples, Alchemy Cultivation was returned to him.

Coupled with Yin Xiaotong's successful Breakthrough to a fifth-grade Alchemist, which returned a large wave of Alchemy Cultivation, his Alchemy Cultivation finally reached the Realm of a Grandmaster of Alchemy!

However, he was only an Early Stage Grandmaster of Alchemy, finding it somewhat strenuous to even refine an eighth-grade Medicinal Pill, though his success rate was still exceptionally high.

Time slowly passed. At this moment, a year had already gone by since Lu Hao established his Sect.

During this year, his legends circulated throughout Danling State, but in the past year, no further news about Lu Hao has been heard.

Including the ten thousand Disciples he took, no news has come from them either.

Although people were somewhat puzzled, gradually, Lu Hao's reputation was no longer frequently mentioned. Aside from the higher-ups of the Three Great Sects, not many people paid attention anymore.

They only knew that another peerless expert had emerged in Danling State, whose Alchemy Realm was profound and whose Cultivation Realm was even more unfathomable!

He also founded a Sect called Qingxuan Medicine Sect. As for other information, they knew nothing.

Lu Hao, in his room, had just finished refining a batch of Medicinal Pills. He stretched, then walked out of the courtyard.

"It's been a year. This year has passed quite quickly. It's time to see what my Sect looks like now. I hope Shi Yi doesn't disappoint me..."

With that, Lu Hao called Stubborn Ox and Little Dragon, preparing to head to the Sect.

Just then, a sweet voice came from afar:

"Lu Dage, today I also made your favorite dishes. It looks like you're going out? Why don't you eat lunch before you go?"

The person who arrived was Lan Xiaoying. Ever since he took her out for a stroll last time, she had completely let loose.

Basically, all the meals within this year were personally prepared by Lan Xiaoying. Lu Hao himself felt that his cooking skills must have deteriorated!

However, Lan Xiaoying's cooking was indeed very delicious, and Lu Hao did not refuse.

During this time, Lu Hao also helped her with her Cultivation, but her Foundation was truly too poor. So, Lan Xiaoying is currently only at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment and will soon Breakthrough to Core Formation.

Only now did she realize how ridiculous her initial thought that Lu Hao was a Core Formation Cultivator was...

One's perspective constantly improves with one's own growth.

Some time ago, out of curiosity, Lan Xiaoying also followed Lu Hao to learn Alchemy, and Yin Xiaotong often taught her hand-in-hand.

However, her talent was truly subpar. After several months of learning, she couldn't even remember a thousand types of medicinal herbs, and Lu Hao was at a loss...

Realizing that she was indeed not cut out for it, Lan Xiaoying quickly gave up.

This girl's personality was naturally very cheerful and gentle, and Lu Hao also quite liked her, of course, in the way a brother likes a sister.

Yin Xiaotong heard Lan Xiaoying's words and also walked out of the room.

She immediately saw the table full of dishes.

"Wow! So much delicious food again! Little Cherry, you've worked hard!"

Originally, when Yin Xiaotong was in Guangdong City, she rarely ate, only occasionally indulging when she craved something.

Even when she did eat, it was more often various spiritual foods, things that aided Cultivation.

Logically, Core Formation Cultivators could already practice Bigu (abstinence from grains), and not eating would have no effect on them. They could sustain their basic bodily functions simply by absorbing Origin Qi from heaven and earth.

But ever since following Lu Hao, Yin Xiaotong had been 'corrupted' by him.

Especially the dishes made by Lan Xiaoying, which were exceptionally delicious. This stuff was much more fragrant than those Cultivation-aiding items!

Now, if she missed a meal due to Alchemy, she would feel a bit hungry...

So, as long as she wasn't in seclusion, once she heard Lan Xiaoying's voice, Yin Xiaotong would consciously come out to eat.

In return, Yin Xiaotong also refined many Medicinal Pills suitable for Lan Xiaoying and taught her some knowledge related to Alchemy.

Lan Xiaoying heard Yin Xiaotong's words and said with a smile:

"It's no trouble at all. Lu Dage teaches me to Cultivate, and Xiao Tong Sister also gives me Medicinal Pills and teaches me Alchemy. It's only right that I cook some meals!"

"I can't help with anything else, and it's thanks to Lu Dage liking my cooking, otherwise I'd be completely useless."

"Nonsense, Little Cherry is so beautiful, cute, and virtuous, she's amazing! At least if you asked me to do it, I definitely couldn't."

"No, no, no, Xiao Tong Sister is so smart. If she were willing to learn, she would definitely be much better than me!"

"Hahaha, you're flattering me. Lu Dage doesn't allow us to use Cultivation when cooking, and without Cultivation, even chopping vegetables is hard for me! Hahaha."

Yin Xiaotong and Lan Xiaoying chatted with each other, enjoying themselves.

Seeing that Lan Xiaoying had already brought the food, Lu Hao decided to eat first!

Meanwhile, the Dragon and the Ox, hearing Lu Hao's call, had already arrived and were waiting, only to see Lu Hao sit down to eat again...

Stubborn Ox and Little Dragon exchanged glances, both seeing a helpless expression in the other's eyes.

They two were really not used to eating and couldn't understand what was so good about it. If they were hungry, wouldn't taking in a breath of Origin Qi satisfy them?

Why bother eating so much? And they ate so slowly! A single meal could take half an hour!!

Even though Father's strength was already so great, he still ate every day, as if he would starve to death if he didn't!

As Yao Beasts of this world, they truly couldn't understand Lu Hao's habits brought over from his previous life.
