Qin Shaoyang in the venue and said.He just intervened to help Qín Shào yáng, and now he is ready to speak up for him."It's all minor stuff," Zhao Guang nodded. Then looking at Shào yáng: "Do you stil...Chapter 678: Happy Little White~

Hao Ren returned home to find his grandmother and the girls sitting in the living room, enjoying steaming hot dumplings.

"Grandma, I'm back!" Hao Ren shouted.

"You rascal! You went out early this morning and only came back so late!" Grandma frowned slightly before pointing at the kitchen, "Go get your own dumplings!"

“Alright!” Hao Ren let out a long breath of relief, thinking that he was lucky this time; otherwise his grandmother might never see her good grandson again.

"Why are your clothes torn..." Grandma noticed a hole on Hao Ren's shoulder and immediately looked worried.

"The road was slippery and I fell," Hao Ren explained.

“You, you always rush into things!” Grandma hurried over to check the skin under Hao Ren’s torn clothes. Seeing that there were hardly any injuries, she finally felt somewhat relieved.

Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren but didn’t know where he had been. If they knew that Hao Ren had entered the core area of the Sea of Demons before returning in a circle around it, they would be extremely surprised.

"Where's dad And mom" asked Hao Ren.

“Your father ate his dumplings and hurriedly left. Your mother went to the meteorological station to check some data,” replied Grandma.

The house was much quieter today compared to yesterday, with only the Lu sisters, Zhao Yanzi, and Xie Yujia keeping her company.

Outside, it started drizzling slightly. Hao Ren noticed a shallow rainbow-like glow around his villa’s small garden and thought that Zhen Cming must have set up an array there.

"Where's Cming" Hao Ren asked Grandma.

"Xiao Xue's family returned from another city this morning, and they stopped by our house to pick Cming up. It looks like they're taking him to the amusement park," said Grandma.

Indeed, it seems that one has to start dating young. Zhen Cming’s progress is going well then.

Hao Ren filled a bowl with dumplings and thought about his experience in the Sea of Demons, still feeling unsettled.

Gurgle gurgle... Little White lay by Hao Ren's feet, munching on meat-filled dumplings from a porcelain bowl one after another.

Lazy and gluttonous Little White only lived comfortably on land because he was with Hao Ren. If he were in the Sea of Demons, given his strength, he would have died hundreds of times already.

Ji ji! Ji ji!

Little White quickly gulped down ten dumplings and then lifted its head to call out to Grandma. It didn’t like eating ordinary food, but these fresh meat dumplings seemed to suit its taste.

"Little White is getting hungrier!" Grandma moved the remaining five or six dumplings from her bowl into Little White’s dog bowl.

"You damn dog!" Hao Ren couldn’t help patting Little White on the head, looking at it drooling shamelessly.

While I’m struggling for survival in the Sea of Demons, you’re enjoying yourself at home.

Little White looked innocently at Hao Ren with its eyes wide open and made whimpering sounds. Did eating more also become a sin

"Linlin, Lily, are the calligraphy paper and brushes from last time still here" Hao Ren asked.

"Yes! Young Master!" Lu Linlin and Lu LiLi jumped up to take out the brush, ink stick, inkstone, and other things from the drawer in front of the TV.

“Haha, has Ah Ren started practicing calligraphy” Grandma asked while helping the Lu sisters spread out the paper.

"I’m just playing around..." Hao Ren said helplessly. Tomorrow was the first activity for the Calligraphy Club, an opportunity to gather Dragon cultivators on campus, but he wasn’t sure if Xu Ke would cause trouble.

Xie Yujia brought over a cup of water to soak Hao Ren's brush.

Lu Linlin and Lu LiLi ground ink for Hao Ren, immediately accumulating uniform black ink in the inkstone.

"Write whatever Grandma says," Hao Ren looked at Grandma and said.

"Okay..." Grandma smiled with wrinkles forming on her face. "Let’s keep it simple then; ‘Ascending Yellow Crane Tower’. The sun sets behind the mountains, the river flows into the sea. To see a thousand miles further, climb to a higher storey. Grandma hopes that Ah Ren will get better and better."

This poem was Hao Ren's first Tang Dynasty poem taught by Grandma in his memory; he still remembered it vividly. Having just escaped from the Sea of Demons where demons gathered, hearing this poem immediately strengthened his resolve to advance.

Full ink flowed out from the tip of the brush, forming upright and neat regular script on paper.

"Ah Ren's calligraphy is quite good!" Grandma was pleased to see these characters.

"This is just a warm-up; the real thing comes later," Hao Ren smiled. He then focused his mind on the brush and ink, imprinting twenty characters in his memory before swiftly writing them down.

Hao Ren’s penmanship contained techniques from the Mystic Water Sword Art; these twenty characters formed as one, neither cursive nor semi-cursive script, each character very elegant. However, when viewed as a whole, there was a sense of gravity.

Hao Ren.

He finally signed his name. These two characters were also very beautiful. He then wrote the date and added "Mid-Autumn" below.

Mrs. Grandmother stared at the Tang poem, speechless for a moment. Writing with a brush pen is difficult precisely because it's soft, but Xiao Han's wrist movements were fluid and dynamic, making each ink drop on the xuan paper seem perfectly controlled.

The twenty characters immediately left an impression upon sight.

"Wow!" After several seconds of being stunned, Mrs. Grandmother finally exclaimed.

She never imagined that her grandson could be so proficient with a brush pen. This poem was recited off the top of her head and wasn't something Xiao Han had specially practiced; yet he managed to complete it in one go, proving his mind had reached an extremely high level.

"Sir has written very well!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili also immediately said.

Xie Yujia looked at these brush pen characters and indeed felt that each character was perfectly crafted—add a stroke and they would be bloated, remove one and they'd be frail. Yet when placed together, it was as if they formed a picture before your eyes, containing some ingenuity.

Zhao Yanzi looked at the xuan paper and then at Xiao Han, finding it hard to believe that he could write such excellent calligraphy.

Actually, Xiao Han had incorporated the Mysterious Water Sword Technique into his writing. Each brush stroke was like a sword intent, brimming with bold ambition.

Since he already had good memory and had seen countless ancient characters along with his own understanding, combining them with an Upper-Grade Exchange Level realm and the Mysterious Water Sword Technique would result in anything but beautiful calligraphy.

The fluid sword intent within was so ingenious that even those who didn't understand calligraphy could feel its intricacies.

"Phew…" Xiao Han exhaled, "I need to go out for something. Linlin and Lili, please roll it up for me; I'll take it to school."

"Okay! Sir!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili puffed their cheeks and blew on the xuan paper a few times before carefully rolling it up, "We will frame it for you."

"Why are you going out again Don't you want to spend time with the girls" Mrs. Grandmother had some complaints seeing Xiao Han about to leave.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "There's an event tomorrow at one of the school clubs. Grandma can have my parents accompany me for a visit."

"Okay! Is it a club that Ah Ren is participating in" Mrs. Grandmother asked.

"It’s a calligraphy club I established," Xiao Han replied.

"Ah Ren even started his own club! So this club must be an interest group, right" Mrs. Grandmother happily asked.

"About that; it's like one of the school's interest groups," Xiao Han smiled back. Tomorrow they would all go to school, and Grandma alone at home might as well come along for some fun.

"An interest group Then there shouldn't be many people, right Okay then, I'll go see Little Su while we're at the school," Mrs. Grandmother said. She had never been to Xiao Han's school and often thought about Su Han.

Seeing her grandmother so enthusiastic, Xiao Han kicked Xiao Bai, who was hiding under the table.

He had already sent the elixirs to Mount Penglai and was about to head to Dragon Temple to exchange items, taking this opportunity to rest his body.

This trip to Sea of Ten Thousand Demons was truly a near-death experience. If he could obtain some valuable items at Dragon Temple, it would be worth the risk.

Little White rolled out from under the table and followed Hao Ren to the door.

Bang... After Hao Ren walked a few steps away and set up an energy shield, Little White transformed into its Snow Lion form.

The Purple Gold Hairpin was best not used when going to Dragon Temple. Besides, Little White had been getting lazier lately and needed some exercise.

Little White, now a fourth-stage demon beast, was wider and larger than before but also faster. With Hao Ren's sword light striking its behind, it flew even faster.

Wu wu... Wu... Little White made muffled sounds as if it felt wronged.

"Still acting! You're already a fourth-stage demon beast and aren't serious at all! Here, I brought you a gift," Hao Ren stretched out his fist to tap its head. Seeing how hard it was flying, he took out a red bead from the Spatial Pocket Space.

This bead, about the size of a clenched fist, emitted dark red light like a crystal ball but exuded intense demonic energy!

It was indeed the core of a tenth-stage demon beast!

Hao Ren's trip to Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, although he narrowly escaped with his life and had no major setbacks, wasn't without gains. The great demon kings fighting at sea killed many tenth-stage demon beasts by chance, and Hao Ren picked up several cores that fell into the sea!

These were all cores from tenth-stage demon beasts, which the great demon kings in the inner sea naturally wouldn't look down upon, but for ordinary cultivators, these were extremely precious elixir materials!

Hao Ren was a bit regretful that several minor demon kings died during this chaotic battle, and he didn't have the chance to obtain their cores.

The first minor demon king holding the golden fan was killed by Hao Ren's interdimensional talisman and lightning summoning technique. Its core fell into the sea; if Hao Ren had been quick enough, he could have retrieved it with his sword light, but at that time two more minor demon kings were chasing him, so he couldn't get to this core in time, leaving it for the tenth-stage demon beasts underwater—of course, it would also cause a fight among them.

However, later on when the four great demon kings fought high up in the sky, Hao Ren took advantage of the chaos and picked up six cores!

The core from a tenth-stage demon beast could be sold for at least tens of thousands of spirit stones in the black or white markets above the fifth layer of heaven.

Hao Ren managed to collect six of them!

It was only because Hao Ren himself was barely surviving that he just used his sword light to retrieve cores from nearby demon beasts killed near the golden treasure ship. In reality, hundreds if not thousands of tenth-stage demon beasts had died in this battle.

Little White's eyes lit up when it saw this core.

(To be continued) there's a large-scale conflict between dragon clan cultivators and cultivation sects, this place would become the center for battle operations and many cultivators will進駐這裡，那時這些考棚和旅舍就會派上用場。由黑色的圍牆環繞著內...
