Urban God-level Youth

The energy fluctuations emanating from within the Red Cloud Sect were powerful as Qin Hao was forcefully breaking through the restrictive barriers of the sect's treasure vault.

The Red Cloud Sect has existed in Jiangping State for thousands of years, retaining some measure of its wealth.

Those magical artifacts are quite low-level and useless to Qin Hao, although some spirit stones and medicinal herbs are somewhat valuable.

Afterward, Qin Hao visited the Scripture Pavilion of the Red Cloud Sect, primarily to search for ancient texts and see if there were any traces of the Butian Sect and Xingyue Palace.

About an hour later, Qin Hao and his two companions emerged from the Red Cloud Sect, and the onlookers rushed in, surging into the sect.

Qin Hao took some important items, yet there were still many valuable things inside the Red Cloud Sect, such as palace materials and spirit beasts.

Upon leaving Red Cloud Sect, Qin Hao and his companions did not return to Red Cloud City, but flew towards the north.

Since Qin Hao killed the governor of Jiangping State, if the Skyfire Dynasty dispatched experts to hunt them down, heading to a city to use a Transmission Array would be akin to walking into a trap. The safest approach was to traverse the vast mountain ranges, heading closer to the central region of Hidden Dragon Continent.

Three days later, the Skyfire Dynasty issued a proclamation across all corners of the dynasty: The dynasty is aware of the Li Family's and Red Cloud Sect's actions, rescinding the wanted order for Qin Hao and his companions. Additionally, the Skyfire Dynasty issued a recruitment notice, hoping Qin Hao would join the Skyfire Dynasty to serve it.

Of course, Qin Hao and his companions were unaware of this notice, as they were still within a forest.

Along the way, they hunted monsters while traveling, thus their speed wasn't very fast.

After completing a main quest, Qin Hao accumulated a substantial number of merit points and also received a reward in the form of a magical treasure along with a considerable amount of mid-grade spirit stones.

That night, they meditated and cultivated inside a cave.

Qin Hao perused the merit shop, feeling that his current divine skills were somewhat lacking; apart from the Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Skill, he didn't possess other offensive divine skills. Now that his power has increased, he felt it was time to exchange for more powerful divine skills.

Domineering Dragon Fist Divine Power, Thunderbolt Fist Divine Skill, Five Mountains Fist Divine Power, Five Elements Fist Divine Power: Xuanbing Palm Divine Power, Coiling Silk Palm Divine Ability, Vajra Palm Divine Ability, Five Extremes Palm Divine Ability, et cetera; the divine skills in the merit shop dazzled Qin Hao.

Whether it be fist divine abilities, palm divine abilities, leg divine abilities, or swordsmanship, blade techniques, spear techniques - everything imaginable was present.

After viewing them for a long time, Qin Hao exchanged for two powerful divine skills, Heavenly Gang 72 Palm and Earthly Fiend 36 Fists, and later noticed a special divine skill named "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Song."

Coincidentally, the system awarded him a magical ancient zither, which paired with the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Song could be used by Xian Yin.

The last time, Qin Hao gave the Green Lotus Sword to Ling'er, so this time, it was suitable.

After exchanging, Qin Hao also acquired another divine skill called Red Luan String Hand.

These divine skills are top-tier, and they can be used even if their power significantly increases in the future, undoubtedly surpassing the supreme divine skills on Hidden Dragon Continent.

No feast lasts forever; the day will come when he will part ways with Xian Yin and Ling'er to search for his child.

He hopes that after separating, the two of them can protect themselves. Having been together for such a long time, he has developed feelings for both of them and does not want them to face any trouble in the future.

After cultivating all night, Qin Hao opened his eyes the next morning, a glint flashing within them.

By this time, Xian Yin and Ling'er were already awake; Xian Yin was outside playing her tune, and Ling'er was preparing breakfast.

Every morning, Xian Yin would play a few songs, and from the sound, her mood had improved considerably compared to before, not as sorrowful as before.

Qin Hao walked out of the cave, and as Xian Yin finished her tune, she quickly stood up with a smile, saying, "Mr. Qin."

Xue Lingling also stood up and said, "Master, breakfast is almost ready; do you smell how fragrant it is?"

Qin Hao sat on a nearby rock and smiled, nodding, "Fragrant, your cooking skills are getting better."

"Hehe, as long as Master likes it." Hearing his praise, Xue Lingling's face was full of smiles. Her dependence on Qin Hao was very strong, considering him her only family, as she had no parents or relatives.

Qin Hao said, "By the way, Master has a divine skill to teach you. It's a top-tier divine skill; you must cultivate it diligently, and don't pass it on."

With that, he handed her a jade slip in which he had inscribed the contents of the Red Luan String Hand Divine Skill, which could be learned using Divine Sense.

Xue Lingling chuckled, "Thank you, Master."

Qin Hao then turned to Xian Yin and said, "Miss Xian Yin, this ancient zither is for you, along with this musical score divine skill."

Upon hearing his words and seeing the gilded ancient zither in Qin Hao's hand, Xian Yin's heart raced and cheeks flushed, "Mr. Qin, I won't be formal with you."

"No need to stand on ceremony, take them. I noticed your cultivation technique isn't very good; this is the Burning Moon Immortal Scripture, which Ling'er is also cultivating. You can switch to this technique from now on."

Xian Yin nodded, feeling a bit overwhelmed; was he interested in her since he gifted her so many things?

...

During breakfast, a communication stone within Qin Hao's storage space lit up.

Qin Hao took it out to look; it was the communication jade stone purchased from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion earlier.

"Does Mr. Qin remember me? I'm the boss from Jiangzhou City." The voice of the middle-aged boss sounded from within the jade stone.

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, "Mr. Li, do you need me for something?"

"I have good news for Mr. Qin. Given your youthful age, your ability to defeat Grandmaster Realm experts is truly extraordinary, comparable to the genius disciples of major families and sects in Central Continent."

Qin Hao showed no change in expression upon hearing his flattering words, "Mr. Li, just say what you need to say."

Li Gaoshu chuckled dryly, "Mr. Qin, the Skyfire Dynasty has rescinded the charges against you, and they have also issued a recruitment order, inviting you to join the Skyfire Dynasty and work for them."

Qin Hao's expression turned into a daze, "Really?"

"Of course, why would I deceive Mr. Qin? Congratulations, you're going to prosper."

Qin Hao: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for the news. We'll meet again if fated."

"Alright, Mr. Qin, goodbye."

Qin Hao's battle prowess has now caught the attention of the Skyfire Dynasty. Continuously defeating Grandmaster Realm experts is enough to prove his strength. Heavenly Human Realm experts are rare in the Skyfire Dynasty; each one reigns over a region for the dynasty.

The emperor of the Skyfire Dynasty values Qin Hao's potential. At just over twenty years old, being able to defeat Grandmaster Realm experts implies limitless future potential and possibly surpassing the Heavenly Human Realm.
