I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Li Hao's gaze lingered on Bai Yuyan for a few extra moments, a rare occurrence for him. He had to admit, this woman was truly beautiful.

Unfortunately, Li Hao doesn't have any plans in that regard for the time being.

But it won't be long; he can already feel the chaotic yellow earth beckoning to him.

When I had my own physical body.

I've traveled from the south to the north!

From the realm of gods to the realm of the underworld!

"Get up, don't be so polite."

Li Hao's lingering glances naturally did not escape the notice of the old fox, Ye Lin.

His smile deepened, and he said warmly, "Senior has come from afar, so please stay here for a couple of days. I have prepared some simple wine and drinks, and I hope you will do me the honor of coming."

Ye Lin prepared to invite Li Hao to leave, but Li Hao waved his hand and refused.

"Let's skip the meal and rest when we reach our destination. We've been floating in the spatial passage for four months already, so let's hurry up and finish the rest of the journey."

"This young lady in white is going to lead the way, right? Alright, let's get on the boat."

Ye Lin was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly recovered and said, "Senior is right, then we will take our leave."

The group returned to the ship. The people Ye Lin brought with him were all important figures from the Medicine Tower. They had originally planned to host a banquet to get closer to Li Hao and build a relationship.

But seeing that Li Hao didn't seem interested, I decided to let it go.

Otherwise, it might annoy Li Hao, which would be counterproductive.

The airship quickly departed from the teleportation plaza and headed towards the west of the city.

A special teleportation array was built over there to lead to Xijuzhou. Until now, Xijuzhou has been completely sealed off, with only two external passages remaining.

One is a hole in the world barrier, leading to the Demon Realm; the other is this teleportation array.

When Li Hao heard the news, he was curious and asked, "Lockdown? How is it locked down?"

Ye Lin explained, "It's a grand formation. This formation is a divine technique passed down from the God Realm, left over from the Four Realms War of that time."

"A war between the four realms?"

"Yes, it was the great war between the four realms of humans, demons, monsters, and spirits. About 800,000 years ago, the four realms were originally interconnected."

"At that time, the four tribes fought so fiercely that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. The commotion was so great that it alarmed the divine realm."

"Later, the divine realm itself intervened, separating the four realms and establishing an unbreakable world barrier."

Li Hao chuckled: "Is that so? What caused it?"

Ye Lin shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, as the fighting progressed, the four clans had blood feuds with each other, and no one cared about the original reasons anymore."

"Strictly speaking, the great war back then wasn't actually over; it was just forced to stop. Now, for some reason, a hole has appeared in the world's barrier, and the demons have seized the opportunity to attack."

"Fortunately, the Sunset Sword God was in Xijuzhou from the beginning. He discovered the situation in time and intervened to stop the war, thus bringing it to a halt within Xijuzhou."

Li Hao nodded slowly, it sounded like he had started an incredible questline.

Never mind, let's get the physical body out first.

Before long, they arrived at the dedicated teleportation array.

A large amount of supplies have been prepared here, mainly various healing pills and materials for setting up formations.

This brings us to the role the Medicine Tower played in this war, which is still quite evident even now.

As a massive organization spanning the human realm, they not only make money in normal times, but they also truly step up when needed. At the very beginning of the great war, they took on the logistical tasks without hesitation.

Some of the supplies being transported this time were too valuable to be stored in storage rings, so they were transported by boat.

Li Hao's ship was in front, and the Medicine Tower's ship was behind. After everything was prepared, they set off without stopping.

The dedicated teleportation array was activated, and the two ships entered one after the other.

There was one more person on Li Hao's boat.

Bai Yuyan.

The woman was going there to make the arrangements, so I just took her along.

Li Hao hadn't thought much of it at first, but not long after entering the spatial passage, Bai Yuyan naturally came up behind him, pushed away the spirit puppet that was giving him the massage, and took over the massage herself.

"A spirit puppet is ultimately an inanimate object; let me do it. Senior, is your strength appropriate?"

Li Hao didn't react much; it's not like he'd never seen a woman before.

He casually asked, "Elder Bai is truly thoughtful, but such a beautiful woman like Elder Bai, fawning over me upon our first meeting... whose orders did you receive?"

"What do you want from me if you try to please me?"

Bai Yuyan's eyes flickered, but she controlled the strength in her hands very well, and the massage movements did not stop at all.

"You're certainly straightforward, senior, but I'm only saying this out of respect for you..."

Li Hao interrupted him directly: "Come on, do you? You think you can just look up to me because you know me?"

"Even a fool could tell that your Medicine Tower coveted the Alloy Sword from the Lower and Upper Realms. I've already given you one, but the Medicine Tower already has more than one Martial God. You must have others who want it too, right?"

"The people behind you are really dreaming. Using you as a bargaining chip, do you think you're worth a high-grade Heaven-rank weapon?"

Bai Yuyan finally stopped. It has to be said that what Li Hao said was harsh, but it was also true.

The world is cruel like this; this isn't the first time the Medicine Tower has done something like this.

She is a bargaining chip, and also a test.

Even if Li Hao doesn't like beautiful women, the Medicine Tower can always find someone you like, cater to your preferences, and then exchange them for what the Medicine Tower wants.

However, although everyone knows this method, few people will directly point it out.

Moreover, she knew she wasn't really worth a high-level Heaven-rank weapon.

She quickly circled back to Li Hao and knelt down, pleading, "Please forgive me, senior!"

Li Hao casually said, "What's this about forgiving or not forgiving? This isn't a crime. It's only human nature to covet a Heaven-Rank weapon. The Medicine Tower wants to exchange for it, not to steal it by force."

"A trade is fine. If the Medicine Tower can offer something that truly appeals to me, what's wrong with selling it to them?"

"Business is business, let's not get into all that nonsense. Next time, let someone from your Medicine Tower who has the authority come and talk to me personally."

Hearing that Li Hao's tone didn't imply any blame, Bai Yuyan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, this was a distinguished guest specially invited by the central tower, and offending such a guest would be a serious offense.

Then, she suddenly lowered her head, her face slightly flushed: "To be honest, senior, the reason I came to Xijuzhou this time is to take care of your daily life."

"I will convey your message to the higher-ups as truthfully as possible. I would also appreciate it if you could allow me to do some things within my ability so that I can report back to the higher-ups."

"Of course, if you are unwilling, senior, I will certainly abide by my duty."

That's a statement that most people would find hard to refuse.

Of course, Li Hao could refuse; he doesn't need to be mindful of anyone's feelings. But why bother?

He reached out and gently lifted Bai Yuyan's chin.

Her face, as if sculpted by the creator god, was slightly flushed, and her eyes held a look of unspoken words and a mixture of reluctance and acceptance, giving one an irresistible urge to immediately pin her down and ravage her.

As expected of bait thrown out by the medicine tower, it's potent and professional.

"Then let's do something you're good at," Li Hao said with a light laugh.
