Good heavens, Qin Hao finally understood. It turned out that seeing his outstanding performance, they had come to seek his guidance.
With a smile on his face, Qin Hao patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said earnestly,
"Lao Liu, your cultivation base is not bad. However, when it comes to cultivation, you can't just cultivate Qi without tempering the body. A high cultivation base is important, but body refinement cannot be neglected."
"I have a Star Body-Forging Platform in my mansion. When the madams are done using it, you can borrow it to train. Tempering yourselves more will do you no harm."
Hearing this, the eyes of Lao Liu and the other two instantly lit up.
"Lord Imperial Son, as long as we use this Star Body-Forging Platform to temper our bodies, will we become as vigorous and fierce as you, Your Highness?"
Qin Hao shook his head. "My talent isn't something you can catch up to just through hard work, but I can guarantee that your strength will definitely improve greatly."
After saying that, Qin Hao patted their shoulders and headed to the back mountain on his own.
As soon as Qin Hao left, the three of them instantly lost their composure.
"I'll go borrow it first!"
"Let me go first! Lao Liu, it's not like you've been inadequate for just a day or two, does this little bit of time matter? Go line up in the back."
"Bah, what absolute bullshit! You're the one who's inadequate. I only look inadequate compared to the Lord Imperial Son. If you don't accept it, how about the two of us compete?"
...
Qin Hao arrived at an open valley. In the valley stood an old locust tree that had lived for an unknown number of years. Its trunk was as thick as a city wall, and its canopy blotted out the sky and sun, looking like a giant, open umbrella.
Qin Hao saw a person standing under the tree, wearing a cyan shirt, with his hands behind his back, facing away from him and looking at the distant mountains.
Qin Hao recognized at a glance that this was his cheapskate father.
"Hmph, it's definitely not a coincidence. This old geezer must have calculated that I'd come here and waited for me in advance."
Qin Hao smacked his lips and stepped forward quickly. "Dad, what did you want to see me for?"
Qin Wuya didn't speak, but instead gave Qin Hao a meaningful look.
"Not bad, young man. You're quite energetic, bringing another person back again?"
Qin Hao didn't take Qin Wuya's bait, but simply pointed with his chin at the Nine Tribulations Sword hanging at Qin Wuya's waist.
"Dad, is this Nine Tribulations Sword of mine easy to use?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Wuya's expression changed. "What do you mean 'your' Nine Tribulations Sword? Didn't I trade several Peak Emperor Weapons with you for it? It's mine now."
Hearing this, Qin Hao's vision went dark and he almost lost his footing. He took a deep breath and pointed at the Nine Tribulations Sword at Qin Wuya's waist.
"Dad, let's be reasonable when we speak, okay? A few Peak Emperor Weapons, and you want to trade away my Nine Tribulations Sword? This is a Supreme Dao Artifact! Do you know what a Supreme Dao Artifact means?"
Qin Wuya shrugged. "Of course I know. How could I not know how strong my Supreme Dao Artifact is?"
Qin Hao's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He finally understood what true shamelessness was. Back then, in order to get the Nine Tribulations Sword from his hands, Qin Wuya had lowered his stance to an unimaginable degree.
Now that the Nine Tribulations Sword was in his hands, he directly started acting shamelessly, claiming it was his Supreme Dao Artifact.
"Thank goodness I left a backup plan, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get this Supreme Dao Artifact back!"
Thinking of this, Qin Hao coldly snorted. "Hmph, I don't care. If you want to continue using the Nine Tribulations Sword, you have to renew the lease, otherwise I'm taking it back."
Qin Wuya laughed heartily. His laughter echoed in the valley, startling a flock of spirit sparrows resting on the old locust tree. He stood with his hands behind his back, his cyan shirt fluttering slightly in the valley breeze.
That unhurried and calm bearing of his perfectly matched his status as the number one person in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
"Xiao Hao, haha." Qin Wuya looked at Qin Hao, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepening.
"I really want to see what methods a little Body Integration Realm cultivator like you has to take the Nine Tribulations Sword from the hands of a complete Great Dao Immortal Emperor like me."
Saying this, Qin Wuya reached out and touched the sword hilt at his waist. His movements were slow and leisurely, as if to say: I'll just stand here and not move, let's see what you can do.
Qin Wuya had also been using the Nine Tribulations Sword for a few months now. Over these months, he believed he had completely figured out this sword, and had even planted his own exclusive brand within it.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the current Nine Tribulations Sword his natal Dao Artifact. He simply didn't believe that if he didn't give it up, Qin Hao would have any way to take the Nine Tribulations Sword back from his hands.
Seeing his old man's fearless, rogue-like appearance, Qin Hao was furious.
"Fine, you forced me to do this." Qin Hao nodded forcefully. This old geezer was actually playing such mind games with him. Fine, if I don't make you bleed heavily this time, don't even think about using the Nine Tribulations Sword again.
"System! Retrieve the Nine Tribulations Sword into the system space!" Qin Hao said silently in his heart.
Qin Wuya had a smiling face, waiting to see what tricks Qin Hao could pull. He touched the Nine Tribulations Sword at his waist. The sword body exuded a faint Dao rhythm, as if it were one with him.
Suddenly, Qin Wuya's expression drastically changed. The previously quiet Nine Tribulations Sword suddenly emitted a hum, and then the sword was gone.
Qin Wuya didn't feel any power fluctuations; it was just gone! It was as if this Nine Tribulations Sword had never existed. It vanished from his waist, and his hand still maintained the posture of touching the sword, only now he was touching thin air.
Qin Wuya looked at his empty waist in astonishment, then looked up at Qin Hao. Seeing Qin Hao looking at him with a playful expression, Qin Wuya couldn't help but ask,
"You... what kind of method is this?"
Qin Hao chuckled, "Dad, your son has plenty of methods!"
Seeing Qin Wuya's expression, which looked like he had just seen a ghost, Qin Hao felt incredibly comfortable in his heart. He slowly took the Nine Tribulations Sword out of his system space, deliberately slowing down his movements, as if unwrapping a long-awaited gift.
The blade appeared inch by inch in Qin Hao's hand. The clear sword light reflected Qin Hao's face, as well as Qin Wuya's stunned expression.
"Dad, what were you saying just now?" Qin Hao held the Nine Tribulations Sword and flourished it in the air. "Sure enough, it still prefers staying by my side."
The corner of Qin Wuya's eye twitched. Soon, he recovered from his shock and squeezed out a smile at Qin Hao.
"Hahaha, Xiao Hao, Dad was just joking with you just now. Really, you can't even take a joke, actually taking it back. Isn't it just renewing the lease? I'll renew it!"
Qin Hao tossed the sword into the air. The Nine Tribulations Sword flipped a few times in the air before landing steadily back into Qin Hao's hand. Qin Hao caught the sword and casually twirled it.
"But now, I don't want to rent it out anymore."
Qin Wuya's mouth twitched. What do you mean you don't want to rent it out anymore? This sword can't display much of its power in your hands anyway, and it doesn't help your strength that much. You clearly just want to extort more benefits from me!

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
