The seven beads moved floating in front of Tan Hao's face. The movement is so dynamic and smooth as it is forming a pattern.
"This ... Oh could this be?" shock Ye Yuan in disbelief.
Tan Hao was stunned to see it, his golden light completely made his gaze unwilling to turn away. Even the hue of Tan Hao's face was changing according to the movement of the floated lotus beads.
Lan Lihua's light pat on her shoulder made Tan Hao realize, she then caught the bead with a single move of her right hand.
"This thing is so special! Someday there will be a time when I use it but not now" Tan Hao murmured softly.
"All right! To his surprise, my charisma was lost because of this stupidity. Heh ... Hehe," Tan Hao's claw made Lan Lihua puff out her cheek.
"Cihh, what charisma! You fool," said Lan Lihua.
Elder Tiandou and Liu Zey did not notice that, both of them were having a brief discussion. Sitting under the banyan tree turned his back to where Tan Hao and Lan Lihua were.
"Oh yes Hua'er! What's your next plan after having the Pot of Hell? Did Uncle Feng really need that thing? What if it was given to you," asked Tan Hao breaking the atmosphere.
Lan Lihua was choked up, she had almost forgotten that she had obtained an heirloom as well. There were a lot of thoughts in his head.
"Haha, what is big brother talking about? Of course I will train seriously to become the greatest alchemist, won't it be good for us later" Lan Lihua said with a questioning smile.
"I know what your worries are! So stop the mysterious pretentious before me. In any case I have promised to take care of you, so we will train together" Tan Hao said, holding onto Lan Lihua's chin with his fingertips.
Lan Lihua looked timid, her cheeks flushed red.
"I ... Won't let you down, brother,"
Tan Hao laughed broadly with both hands at his waist.
"Hahaha, it seems like HaoHao is pretty good. No need to call me brother anymore? Hm ... It's too painful for me,"
"Based on the crocodile lizard face, just look at how you behave if you meet that one woman," Ye Yuan smiled sinisterly as he glanced unhappily at Tan Hao.
"U-uh," Lan Lihua replied briefly as she lowered her head timidly.
Not long after, Elder Shuxan returned with Su Kong. Seen Su Kong's condition is not so good, he was fleeting like a fear. The face was pale and there was no expression there.
"Young Master I'm coming! Looks like we can leave now," exclaimed Elder Shuxan.
"Oh yes ... But it seems like your partner is not in good shape? What happened to him," Tan Hao asked as he looked at Su Kong who was behind Elder Shuxan.
"Ah that ... Actually just to be surprised," Elder Shuxan replied giving a brief reason.
Tan Hao smiled faintly then walked up to Su Kong.
"It seems like a while ago you still had bad intentions, didn't you? Alright ... I understand you don't need to explain,"
"Eld Tiandou! Come here I borrow your earth ring," exclaimed Tan Hao calling Tiandou who had been standing but still where he was sitting.
"Yes I understand," he retorted then jumped up and landed next to Tan Hao.
"What are you borrowing for? Isn't this indeed yours," Tiandou said as he gave the ring.
"That was then, now it's yours,!! Enough, I just want to take the Jade Sutra Grass,"
Tan Hao gave back the earth dimensional ring which was actually a gift from his uncle, Yao Liu. There were stored various weapons, resources, books belonging to Yao Liu and also pieces of gold and silver.
He had no intention of taking it back, for he still had the ring of the natural dimension his father had given him. Which has infinite space and can store everything including soul or spirit.
The dimensional ring actually has several levels, ranging from the smallest oceanic ring, earth ring, sky ring, heaven ring and the last dimension ring of nature. Each ring has a different space and use except the natural dimension ring that now exists on Tan Hao which has no boundaries also in it has thousands of spaces.
"Take and drink! It can help calm the energy turmoil in you,"
Su Kong himself only did as Tan Hao ordered without refusing or asking.

"Hey, where's our wine! Hurry up" exclaimed one diner.
"Servant! I'd like an order of venison, long bean vegetables and wine" shouted another visitor at the shop's outdoor table.
The atmosphere is quite boisterous with many visitors, it looks all a swordsman of clothes and weapons tucked behind the back and waist.
"Young Master! Should I keep them quiet? It's quite noisy here to enjoy the wine," asked Su Kong half in a whisper.
"Please if you can fight them all! I have no problem" Tan Hao said after sipping wine.
"Eh ... I mean it's not like that! Haiyahh, it could be my ridiculous death if they all hit me," retorted Su Kong who had a silly face.
Meanwhile Liu Zey and Lan Lihua were at different tables but not too far away. Tan Hao decided to order a different table after arriving at a sizable diner.
The seating available at each table was only enough for four people, even though it was outside the tavern but it did not matter to Tan Hao.
Indeed after Su Kong improved, they decided to immediately continue on the journey. While on the run they had a brief discussion when they had reached Hibei Village, the only village they had passed after a day's journey from the valley of death.
Although only a small village with less than a hundred heads of families, it was quite crowded. Ranging from clothing merchants, jewelry, restaurants to brothels.
Most visitors are warriors who stop by while on a mission or warriors who travel.
Tan Hao was quite satisfied with the available wine. They had spent at least three servings of food for everyone except Liu Zey and Lan Lihua.
You could say this is their big meal after one week of not enjoying the actual meal. But for Tan Hao this was the first time he drank wine outside, the sensation he felt was completely different when drinking wine with Feng Zhenzhu and Ancestor Lan.
"Tg ... They enjoy food so hot while I'm ignored like this? Basic, Master has no mercy," grumbled Ye Yuan within Tan Hao's soul room.
The boisterous sound typical of taverns with full-fledged visitors became another thing that Tan Hao felt after a few years.
"Day before night, do we continue or do we look for lodging?" elder Shuxan said casually after taking a sip of wine from the glass he was holding.
GGG..BBRRAEAKK ...
"Whatchu mean? I can afford all these bills! I'm just asking for time until my friend comes,"
There was a scream from inside the store that made the atmosphere outside the store quiet. The visitors started whispering to each other between their comrades.
"Hey, he's the doer again! I don't think anyone has dared to teach him a lesson yet,"
"If I'm strong enough, I'll put him on his knees in front of me,"
"Hey hey, lower your voice. Better just enjoy your food."
Tan Hao listened to the whispers of the visitors casually while enjoying the wine. He only occasionally glanced into the shop.
"I think the person who troublemakers is the most powerful person here? Just look at the rogue-faced people here no one is acting," Su Kong said slowly.
"Shut up and enjoy your wine" said Tan Hao casually.
Elder Tiandou only shook his head slowly while Elder Shuxan threw away his face with eyes glancing back and forth while holding a wine glass.
