With Su Han's Reviewer status, the way back was unimpeded.

When they returned to Donghai Prefecture, there were still two hours before the deadline. Upon entering the sea surface area, Su Han directly sent Hao Ren into the ocean; upon sensing Hao Ren and Su Han's arrival, the dragon palace's grand array immediately activated.

They landed on the square of the Dragon Palace, Lü Qing and Sun Elder hurriedly went forward to greet them, "How is it"

"I've already obtained it," Hao Ren said to them.

Huh" They all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took Hao Ren's arm. "Hurry and take the medicine over; Zhen Er童子has been waiting impatiently."

After taking a few steps, they suddenly turned back to look at Su Han. "Miss Su,"

"Mm, I'll just stop here," Su Han handed six thousand-year-old snow lotus to Hao Ren and then walked straight towards the main gate of the Dragon Palace.

"Many thanks for Miss Su's understanding." Lü Qing and Sun Elder bowed to Su Han. Since Su Han was not from Donghai, there were some occasions where she could not participate.

With her windbreaker flowing gracefully, Su Han walked toward the distance. This time, she had put in much effort and even sacrificed six divine pills, which amounted to a significant favor returned to Donghai.

Lü Qing looked at Su Han's back figure, then pulled Hao Ren along. "Saving people is urgent!公子Hao, please follow me!"

Zhao Kuo's resting place was in a small palace. Beside his bed were only Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Yanzi, and Star Moon. At this time, Zhao Kuo had already changed into clean clothes but still appeared listless.

Seeing Hao Ren following Lü Qing and Sun Elder walk in, Zhao Guang immediately stepped forward. "How is it"

"As expected of him, he finally got it," Hao Ren opened the box to display six neatly arranged snow lotuses inside.

"Good!" The originally gloomy-faced Zhao Guang instantly showed a look of joy and turned to Sun Elder beside him. "Quickly go next door and invite Zhen Er童子over!"

"Yes sir!" Sun Elder turned around and walked out of the room. Meanwhile, Zhao Yanzi with reddened eyes stared at Hao Ren in disbelief; she never thought that Hao Ren would manage to pick six thousand-year-old seven-colored snow lotuses so smoothly.

Seeing her red-rimmed eyes and pale complexion, Hao Ren knew she hadn't rested for several hours. He felt a pang of sympathy.

The Zhen Tongzi, clad in a silk Taoist robe of grey color, entered the room accompanied by Elder Sun.

Upon seeing the box that郝仁 was holding, his eyes lit up. Without any further ado, he turned to Elder Sun and said, "Start the furnace; it's time to concoct the elixir!"

"Very well!" Elder Sun quickly walked out of the room to the courtyard.

Zhen Tongzi did not hesitate to take the box from郝仁's hand, stuffed three snow lotuses into his sleeve, and then took another set of them to the courtyard as well.

All unnecessary people had been cleared from this small palace. Since Zhao Ku failed in his tribulation, it was a matter of utmost secrecy until the news could be made public. Those present during his tribulation were all elites from Donghai and wouldn't leak such information.

Zhao Yanzi knelt beside Zhao Ku's bed, holding onto her uncle’s hand, staying by his side. Zhao Ku was still alive but it was unclear whether he was asleep or unconscious.

The path of cultivation was fraught with peril; even at the peak level of practice, one could suffer an outcome like Zhao Ku did and almost be sent to a place from which there is no return.

Zhao Guang was concerned about the process of making the elixir and joined Elder Sun in the courtyard. Zhao Hongyu hesitated before remaining inside with Zhao Yanzi.

In the courtyard, Zhen Tongzi, having obtained the crucial ingredients, began concocting the elixir.

He didn’t do anything out of the ordinary; he merely opened the black iron alchemy cauldron and placed each prepared ingredient inside one by one. The three thousand-year-old snow lotuses were put in last, after which Zhen Tongzi sat cross-legged.

No fire appeared on the surface of the cauldron, but suddenly, this boy who looked no older than seven or eight years old exhaled a stream of intense flames!

The scorching heat caused Zhao Guang and Elder Sun to take half a step back!

Since 郝仁 had the lowest cultivation level among them and was unprepared, he retreated the most and nearly stepped back into the room!

The roaring flames condensed into thin needles forming circles around the black iron cauldron, baking it.

"This is... Three Realms True Flame" 郝仁 asked Lu Qing beside him.

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "Three Realms True Flame That's merely a basic flame in the realm of cultivation. Zhen Tongzi is the fire tenderling to an old master alchemist among the Dragon Clan—Qin’niu’s burner boy. The flames he uses are Two Instruments Four Symbols True Flame, also known as ‘Extermination Evil Flame’. It ranks sixth among all heavenly flames! Any demonic beast that has transformed can exhale Three Realms True Flame; it's outside of the top four in rankings amongst celestial flames!"

"This Zhen Tongzi isn't a dragon" Hearing this, 郝仁 felt something was off and asked again.

Lu Qing chuckled, "Zhen Tongzi’s original form is that of a demonic beast. He was captured by Grandmaster Qin during his tour in the Ocean of Ten Thousand Demons about a hundred years ago."

However, he cultivated his spiritual intelligence and successfully transformed into a human figure not long ago, within the last seven or eight years." Lu Qing lowered his voice as he said this.

Hao Ren looked at Zhen Er, who was in the courtyard and resembled a refined young boy. He didn’t expect that Zhen Er would actually be an underwater monster!

Flames intertwined with the cauldron one by one to form concentric rings around it. Each flame had a bizarre green glow but no longer felt as scorching hot as before; instead, they made people feel chilly.

The time ticked away slowly. While Zhen Er was spitting flames and drowsily falling asleep in the process, everyone else in the courtyard still dared not be careless.

Zhuang Zi with two red-rimmed eyes finally walked out of the house. She saw Zhen Er repeatedly spitting flames while nodding off, causing the flames to flicker intermittently. Unwillingly, she wanted to urge him on but was stopped by Zhuang Guang’s gesture.

Now that Zhao Kuo’s life and death were in this Zhen Er’s hands, they could only hope he wouldn’t be as irritable as his master. Otherwise, it would be possible that he might not handle the matter!

Zhen Er who kept changing from sitting to leaning back then lying down yawned widely, spitting out two more flames before finally falling asleep due to boredom.

Zhuang Guang and Lu Qing looked at each other blankly. They had no idea if the pill was successfully refined or not. An hour passed silently like this when Zhen Er stretched lazily and climbed up from the courtyard, shaking off dust from his body before walking towards the cauldron and laboriously lifting its lid.

In the cauldron, a golden medicinal pill was spinning rapidly. Zhen Er reached out to grab it; feeling that it was scorching hot, he blew on his palm then quickly threw the pill at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren grabbed the pill and indeed felt intense heat burning through his hand. Hurriedly, he used spiritual energy to protect his palms.

"The pill is refined already. I’m going back to sleep." Zhen Er left with a swagger in the grand manner of someone who wasn’t bothered about anyone else’s business.

Holding onto the medicinal pill without any delay, Hao Ren turned around and walked into the house.

The golden pill was still quite hot but it would not present major issues for Zhao Kuo to take. The Star Moon Elder with a furrowed brow took the medicinal pill from Hao Ren’s hand and gave it to Zhao Kuo personally using a bowl of clear water.

Ordinary snow lotuses also had effects of reviving the dead, let alone this Seven-Colored Snow Lotus that grew for over a thousand years. Furthermore, with Zhen Er’s experience, any medicinal pills he refined would definitely be extraordinary; in the past when Zhuang Guang sent people to him asking for treasures, he was indifferent towards them but personally refining the pill now was quite considerate of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

Zhuang Zi with two red-rimmed eyes stared at Zhao Kuo with a look filled with expectation. Her nose twitched repeatedly, indicating she had just been crying again not long ago.

"The power of tribulation is formidable. Even Zhen Er didn’t say his pill would definitely save Zhao Kuo." Zhao Hongyu said softly as she stood beside Zhuang Guang.

"Yes, so long as there’s still a chance," Zhuang Guang nodded calmly after some thought then turned to Hao Ren and said, "Thank you for your efforts this time."

"It's nothing." Hao Ren waved his hand. Zhuang Guang and Zhao Hongyu treated him well, but he didn’t want them to know about the dangers in the Snow Lotus Cave.

Zhuang Zi thought that Hao Ren had only gone on a trip far away and was spared from mortal danger despite being exhausted by travel; she wanted to thank him yet found herself speechless.

Sir Xingyue sat by the bedside, carefully attending to Zhao Kuo who was still asleep. Lu Qing and Elder Sun saw this and let out a sigh.

"Ah Zi, go for a walk. You’ve been guarding here for almost a day and night already. When your Uncle wakes up, I’ll send someone to tell you," Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.

"Hmm." Zhao Yanzi nodded slightly and walked out of the house. Zhao Guang gave Hao Ren a hint with his eyes, and Hao Ren understood, following her out.

After passing through the courtyard, they walked outside the small palace where they saw a festive scene with lanterns hung everywhere in Long Palace. Red lanterns were everywhere, hanging from various pillars adorned with glowing magical treasures that made the entire Long Palace look like a fairyland.

Zhao Yanzi wore ancient-style clothes; her petite face was tear-streaked but still looked delicate and refined. Her little hands peeking out of her sleeves were soft and pale, starkly contrasting against her red traditional attire.

Everyone they saw in Long Palace had a joyous expression on their faces. The news released by Zhao Guang was that Zhao Kuo had successfully passed his tribulation test, and the entire Long Palace would celebrate for three days!

The more festive the atmosphere around her became, the more depressed Zhao Yanzi felt inside. As she walked, she suddenly sniffed and was about to cry again.

Hao Ren quickly pulled her over and sat down beside a nearby stairway with her.

"Wah!" Looking at the swaying red lanterns beside her, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t hold back anymore. She threw herself into Hao Ren’s arms, sobbing loudly.

She was closest to her Uncle, so she found it impossible to accept the fact that Zhao Kuo had failed his tribulation test! If not for her birthday causing Zhao Kuo to come out of seclusion early, maybe he could have survived this great calamity!

Hao Ren gently hugged her but didn’t know what to say. At times like these, just being with her should be enough.

Tears drenched Hao Ren’s chest as Zhao Yanzi took a few deep breaths and finally managed to sit up again. Her face was red from crying, but the tears hanging on her eyelashes were truly heart-wrenching.

"If Uncle can’t get past this tribulation, what should we do" she asked softly leaning against Hao Ren's shoulder.

Hao Ren fell silent, knowing there indeed was a possibility of such an outcome. Even the strongest experts would be very vulnerable before the might of heaven and earth.

But if Zhao Kuo couldn’t make it through this tribulation and died as a result, Zhao Yanzi would suffer greatly for a long time.

After some thought, he suddenly took out that snow lion from Sky Mountain from his dimensional space.

The snow lion saw this unfamiliar environment and sensed the strange dragon aura coming from Zhao Yanzi. It immediately became wary, spreading its claws as it bared its fangs at her.

"Good boy," Hao Ren said a single word to it.

The snow lion instantly lowered its head, lying down on the floor. Its coal-black eyes, the size of a bell lock, still stared ahead.al cloth), Hao Ren suddenly grabbed her and floated them down to the ground.The Golden Light Shield, carrying Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, wobbled and landed inside the city wall.The heavenly thunderbolts t...
