I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

This is indeed an opportunity for the royal family.

After all, Li Hao has now defeated the Qingyun Sect and, by virtue of his so-called "Earth Soul Realm expert" status, has made all the major and minor forces in the Yue Kingdom submit.

If he could defeat Li Hao in front of everyone, then all his prestige would belong to the royal family.

At that time, the royal family will be great again.

"Master, I understand."

Zhao Xianle's breathing became rapid as he thought of that scene.

But to be honest, the royal family has not actually been weak in recent years. Although there is the Qingyun Sect that rivals them, they have never provoked them.

In most people's eyes, the sky above still belongs to the royal family; it's their own doing that's awkward.

If you were more magnanimous, you wouldn't feel so bad.

"Let your grandfather handle it first. If he can solve it, that would be best."

"If that doesn't work, then I will take over and capture Song Yushu."

Wu Liangsheng smiled confidently and then entered Zhao Xianle's body.

……

Li Hao was unaware of this at the moment.

But even if I knew, it wouldn't matter.

He is indeed not a powerful Earth Soul Realm expert, but so what?

Let alone a mere remnant soul, even a Martial God Realm expert wouldn't be a match for him.

With damage immunity and unlimited power, he is already invincible; at most, neither side can defeat the other.

As for the discord between the body and soul, this problem actually existed at the beginning, but it disappeared after drinking a bucket of milk.

In short.

Zhao Xianle's visit was a minor matter to Li Hao.

The real big event is the wedding a few days later.

Now, everything is ready.

But Li Hao looked at the process sheet again and again, and still felt that something was not quite right.

"There's only one Core Formation cultivator left in the Qingyun Sect, but one person isn't enough."

"Within the Song family, there is no one who can break through to the Core Formation Realm in just a few days."

The main problem is the lack of certain items. Not to mention the Song family, even Li Hao is currently lacking treasures related to the metal and earth elements.

Think about it.

Let's find another power to borrow a Core Formation expert.

"Yang Lu, come here!"

At Li Hao's command, Yang Lu rushed over.

This elder in charge of punishments at the Qingyun Sect, a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Core Formation stage, has now been reduced to a mere errand boy, constantly shuttling between the Qingyun Sect and the Song family.

I happened to be delivering something today, but Li Hao stopped me.

"Senior, what are your orders?"

Yang Lu approached, his posture respectful.

Without wasting words, Li Hao asked directly, "Tell me, how many Core Formation cultivators are there in the Yue Kingdom?"

Yang Lu didn't know why Li Hao suddenly asked this, but he still answered honestly, "There are nine of them on the surface."

"The first and second are the sect leader and Zhao Wuyou of the royal family. The two have fought hundreds of times, but neither has been able to gain the upper hand."

"Then there is the Duke of Qin, who is at the eighth level of the Core Formation stage. Although he is not as old as Zhao Wuyou, his lifespan is indeed not long."

"The fourth one is that mighty general, who is at the sixth level of Core Formation, but he is still very young and has a good chance of advancing further in this lifetime."

"I am fifth, at the fifth level of Core Formation."

"The sixth is in the Zhou family in Hexi, and the seventh is in the Shuilan Palace."

"The eighth one was originally Liu Ying, but he is already dead."

"The ninth one is a rogue cultivator whose whereabouts are uncertain."

Li Hao pursed his lips. If that's the case, then he can only go to the Zhou family in Hexi or the Shuilan Palace to look for them.

"That Core Formation cultivator from Shui Lan Palace, a woman?"

Yang Lu replied, "Yes, everyone in Shui Lan Palace is a woman, even the menial servants in the sect."

Well, another one is out.

Only the Zhou family of Hexi is left.

Li Hao waved Yang Lu away, then called Song Baicheng over.

"Master Song, have any members of the Zhou family from Hexi come over recently?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Baicheng said, "Yes, they even sent a generous gift and wanted to meet you, senior, but I declined."

So many people wanted to meet Li Hao lately that Song Baicheng received stacks of invitations, which he naturally turned down.

"Are the Zhou family members still alive?"

"Yes, I'll go and find him right away."

After Song Baicheng left, he returned shortly with a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes.

The man adopted a very humble posture, which was quite normal. In this small country where even those at the Core Formation stage could compete for a place among the top ten experts, a mere Earth Soul stage cultivator was practically a god descended from heaven.

"I am Zhou Lian, the chief steward of the Zhou family of Hexi. I greet you, senior."

Li Hao waved for him to rise and asked directly, "Deacon Zhou, I've heard that your Zhou family has a Core Formation expert?"

Zhou Lian bowed slightly and said, "That's right. The third elder of the Zhou family achieved the Core Formation realm ten years ago. May I ask what guidance you have given him?"

"I wouldn't call it guidance..." Li Hao said, then looked at Song Baicheng beside him and asked, "Generally speaking, how many spirit stones would it cost to hire a Core Formation expert?"

Although Song Baicheng didn't know why, he still answered honestly: "Senior, in the Yue Kingdom, Core Formation experts are already at the peak of strength. Generally speaking, money alone is not enough to persuade them; you also need connections."

If it were in the central region, it wouldn't cost much, since Core Formation experts are practically everywhere there.

As the saying goes, things are valued for their rarity. The entire Yue Kingdom has so few Core Formation experts that you can't even count them on two hands, so the price is naturally high.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao frowned: "Favors... we haven't had much interaction in the past, what favors could there be?"

"In that case, we have no choice but to activate the Face Fruit."

Before the two could figure out what the "face fruit" meant, Li Hao looked at Zhou Lian and said, "Go and inform your Third Elder that I want him to do me a favor and give me face."

Zhou Lian was filled with fear and hurriedly said, "Senior, please rest assured. It is an honor for the Zhou family to serve you."

"I'll go back now and contact the Third Elder."

As Zhou Lian was about to take his leave, Li Hao stopped him.

"No need, just contact them here."

Zhou Lian hesitated for a moment, but then thought better of it and took out the jade talisman, infusing it with spiritual power.

Soon, a dignified voice came from the other end: "Zhou Lian, what is it?"

Zhou Lian hurriedly said, "Patriarch, I have met Senior Li Hao. He wants the Third Elder to help him with something."

The voice on the other end was flat: "What is it?"

"Well……"

Zhou Lian couldn't help but look at Li Hao.

Li Hao simply waved his hand, asking him to give him the communication talisman.

After receiving the document, Li Hao said directly to the other end, "I am Li Hao, the one you all think I am at the Earth Soul Realm."

"I need your family's Third Elder to do me a small favor. The details are a secret for now. Anyway, it's not difficult and there won't be any danger."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end: "May I ask, senior, is it in a hurry?"

"It's quite urgent, it'll be over in the next few days."

"But the Third Elder is still in seclusion."

"That's fine, let him come out, and he can go back to his room after he's done."

"...Senior, are you joking?"
