Chapter 5 - Assassination attempt

"Hahaha, this result is definitely very good, but I don't have any ingredients right now, maybe tomorrow I'll get something when I leave here and go to the mountains."

Ling Hao laughed heartily after understanding everything he had gained, he then thought about what to do once he managed to leave this place.

He then straightened up, now in the lotus position, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Ling Hao then thought of something, then he made use of his innate ability, Return to the Void, at this exact moment something unexpected happened, above his head a small vortex appeared, this vortex then began to absorb all the spiritual energy at your return.

snap

Time passed naturally, 20 minutes later a small crack sounded from Ling Hao's body, he then made a breakthrough, from 3 stars to 4 stars, but he still didn't stop and continued to make use of his skill.

snap

Some time later another crack sounded from Ling Hao's body, this time it took almost an hour, then he finally stopped absorbing the surrounding energy and then opened his eyes.

'5-star Martial Disciple, not bad, in less than an hour and a half I advanced two conceptual levels, if someone don't knew about it, I would definitely be in danger.'

Ling Hao secretly thought, this skill is very against the sky, even energy between the heavens and the earth can be absorbed directly. It's a shame that the energy in that place isn't very good, if he was in the Central Continent, maybe he could go to the 9 stars of Martial Disciple in less than a day.

Not that Ling Hao couldn't go a little further in this place, but it will take time, the first time was 20 minutes, the second time more than 50 minutes, how long will it take for the next ones? At least as long as he's not in a place he trusts to be safe, he can't falter.

"It's getting dark, will I see her again today?" Ling Hao wondered as he stared in the direction of the bedroom door.

kacha

It was then that the sound of the doorknob sounded.

'It can not be! That would be a scary coincidence, right?' Ling Hao immediately shouted at his thoughts.

It was then that a young girl entered, she appeared to be between 8 and 10 years old, she was even smaller than Xiao Yi Xian in height, her little face was delicate as a child should be, her hair was brown and tied in two small buns.

"Hello, Xiao Yi Xian asked me to bring this for you." The little girl carried a tray with several bowls of food, she placed it on the table and then said these words.

"Okay, thank you very much." Ling Hao just thanked her quickly, he was a little disappointed that it wasn't Xiao Yi Xian who came, but just that.

"Hmm, I'm leaving now." The little girl just nodded her head as she turned to leave, but she didn't fail to get a good look at Ling Hao, she had heard he was handsome from the other girls who saw him when he was brought to this place.

She sure thought he was very handsome, but she didn't say anything, reality doesn't allow that. She then left the room closing the door again.

"Well I'll eat and try to get some sleep, maybe I'll try another breakthrough overnight." Ling Hao muttered as he picked up the tray to start eating.

"Hmm, good food, it tastes really good, I wonder what animal this meat is from." After starting to eat, Ling Hao couldn't help but praise the food, it tasted so good, he was even curious about which meat he ate.

"Urhgghr, what is this? My body is going numb, poison? Damn-" But the good feeling didn't last long, quickly Ling Hao started to feel his body getting heavy, he tried to say a few words, but then he fell down feeling dizzy .

Ling Xiao first became desperate, who could poison him?

'Mu Li already started to move? But he shouldn't have such power to move me around this place, did he bribe the owner of this Thousand Medicine House? Shit.'

Ling Hao started to think of various possibilities, he tried to move, but his body wouldn't obey, he was rigid on the ground, he didn't even have the strength to speak.

'Damn, I can't die, but what the fuck, I haven't even done anything yet, why? Wait, how can I be so stupid? Yeah, that hahaha.' In the midst of despair Ling Hao began to wail, it was then that he remembered something.

Immediately Ling Hao started to make use of his Heavenly Poisonous Body, his body gradually returned to normal, he then realized what kind of poison it was, it was the venom of a second order Stone Snake, this venom is not usually lethal to higher level cultivators.

But Ling Hao is only a cultivator of the 5-star Martial Disciple realm, the poison of a second-tier Magic Beast can still kill him. Just a few more moments and Ling Hao's organs would completely stop, thus choking him to death.

In just a few breaths, Ling Hao felt that his entire body had completely recovered, but he didn't have time to celebrate, because at this moment a huge amount of energy seemed to come out of nowhere inside his body.

Ling Hao then used the Return to the Void ability quickly, refining all that energy within his body.

Snap Snap Snap

In just a few minutes three snaps sounded from his body again, his body shuddered fiercely at that moment, but it only lasted for one breath.

'8 Star Martial Disciple, haha, whoever tried to kill me, he never expected him to just help me in my cultivation.'

Ling Hao smiled in his thoughts, the gains sure were very large, in a moment of despair he managed to turn death into fortune.

'Tsk, anyway, it's very unlucky, to be murdered before even stepping out, who was it? It's because? I still refuse to believe that Mu Li could mess up this place. At least not alone.'

Ling Hao's joy only lasted a moment, and then he went back to thinking about who it was and how he managed to poison him.
