I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Chapter 100 Mutual Schemes

Sikong Mouku sped towards the outer courtyard where Xu Hao was.

He arrived at the gate and, hearing the whistling of weapons in the courtyard, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He arrived two weeks ago, but the courtyard was quiet at the time.

That means Xu Hao is practicing the transformation of Qi and Blood into Strength.

Now it seems that the attempt to transform Qi and Blood into Strength has failed, so let's move on to swordsmanship training.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. If Qi and Blood were so easy to condense, the Five Animals Sect wouldn't have given them three years.

Even someone with his exceptional talent wouldn't dare claim to have transformed his Qi and blood into internal strength within a month, let alone a country bumpkin.

Failure is normal!

Moreover, after the failure, he could take the opportunity to persuade people to go to that ancient tomb.

If something unexpected happens, it's understandable.

Thinking of this, Sikong Mou became even more delighted.

He immediately stretched out his palm and knocked on the outer door.

dong dong dong.

"Who is it?" Xu Hao heard the knocking in the courtyard, and after demonstrating the Flying Crane Sword Technique, he immediately asked loudly.

"Brother Xu, it's me!" Sikong Mou hurriedly responded loudly.

"Please come in!" Xu Hao grinned upon hearing Sikong Mou's voice.

They really won't give up!

I don't know who's behind this.

However, it doesn't matter who it is.

He also wants to go and take a look this time, and earn some extra money to make up for the lack of funds for his cultivation.

crunch.

The courtyard gate opened, and Sikong Mou, with a kind expression, walked in. He immediately extended a handshake and asked with concern, "Brother Xu, we've finally waited for you to emerge from seclusion. How was your cultivation? Did it go smoothly?"

Xu Hao shook his head.

"Hey, don't be discouraged. Transforming Qi and Blood into True Strength is inherently difficult; it requires resources to accumulate!" Sikong Mou said with the air of someone who'd been there before. "Coincidentally, we've discovered ancient ruins and recently explored the surrounding area. Why don't we join us in searching? Perhaps we can find ancient elixirs that can help you break through in one fell swoop!"

He spoke earnestly.

It was also very sincere.

If it were someone else, they would inevitably be swayed by Sikong Mou's outward attitude and might even trust him directly.

But Xu Hao has a game panel.

Good and evil, and his hostility, are clearly marked.

"This—" Xu Hao hesitated.

Since the other party was going to put on an act, he wouldn't stand idly by either.

First, trick him with a sweet promise.

"Brother Xu, it's only because we hit it off immediately that I would give away such a benefit to anyone else!" Sikong Mou said earnestly. "To tell you the truth, this exploration is quite dangerous, and we need strong manpower, but since none of us have Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, we can't ask for experts in the Strength Realm."

I've read some records from Qinghe County, and Brother Xu's fighting prowess perfectly matches our requirements, which is why I've visited him three times!

"Alright! Since Brother Sikong values ​​it so much, then I'll reluctantly accept!" Xu Hao gritted his teeth, looking like he was struggling, and said, "But I can only guarantee to do my best!"

"With Brother Xu's word, I'm relieved!" Sikong Mou grinned. "This is just an initial exploration. If we discover any danger, we'll retreat first and then report to the Five Animal Sect!"

"Why not report to the Five Animal Sect first?" Xu Hao looked at Sikong Mou with suspicion.

"Of course we can't report it in advance!" Sikong Mou explained, "Because once we report it, the Five Animals Sect will issue a mission, and others will come into contact with that ancient ruin. Wouldn't all our previous explorations be wasted!"

We'll explore first, and only report back when we're absolutely certain, to maximize our profits!

Xu Hao was overjoyed to hear this.

It's better not to report it!

It was reported, and any unexpected events required reporting back. Back then, it wasn't easy to cover up the deaths of several people.

However, if it is not reported to the Five Animals Sect, it cannot be considered a matter of the Five Animals Sect and belongs to personal exploration.

If someone is left outside, without concrete evidence or a victim, the Five Animals Sect will only consider them a suspect.

The idea of ​​Sikong Mou and others to extricate themselves from the situation was exactly what Xu Hao wanted.

Xu Hao still asked a few questions, then half-heartedly replied, "Okay, count me in. When do we leave?"

"There's no time like the present! Let's do it now!" Sikong Mou hurriedly said.

It is already evening.

He specifically chose this time.

Even if Xu Hao leaves, not many people will be able to see him.

If any problems arise, he will be able to clear himself of suspicion.

"Alright then, I'll go tidy up my room!" Xu Hao nodded.

Sikong Mou's actions were entirely for his benefit.

This money-bringing boy is absolutely fantastic!

A moment later, Xu Hao took out a package containing some clothes.

This is just the surface work.

Sikong Mou watched Xu Hao walk out, and after confirming that Xu Hao was coming, he immediately whispered, "Because the ancient ruins involve a very wide range and are extremely important, I'll go out first and wait for you on the right side outside the Five Animals Sect's mountain gate. You can come directly to meet me then, and I'll introduce you to a few companions!"

"Great!" Xu Hao couldn't be happier.

"Then I'll leave first. Come out later, and don't let anyone else see you, lest the news of the ancient ruins leak out!" Sikong Mou reminded him before leaving.

"Okay!" Xu Hao nodded and gestured for him to proceed.

After Sikong Mou left, Xu Hao finally relaxed and checked his personal attributes.

Although the Flying Crane Sword Technique has not been cultivated to its full potential and has not received any special enhancements, my current strength level is sufficient to deal with Sikong Mou and the others.

Xu Hao waited for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until the sky was almost completely dark, before he started walking towards the gate of the Five Animals Sect.

Meanwhile, on the mountain path to the right of the Five Animal Sect's mountain gate, several figures were lazily standing still.

"Brother Sikong, will he come?" a muscular young man asked.

"He will come. Who wouldn't be envious of ancient relics? Besides, I've always been a nice guy trying to be friendly, and my family has a respectable reputation throughout Shuangqing Prefecture. I believe he will come!" Sikong Mou smiled slightly, very confident.

Born into a prestigious family, he was humble and polite, and even after Xu Hao discovered his low aptitude, he was still willing to befriend him.

This approachable attitude alone is enough to charm countless people.

"That's good!"

Sikong Mou reminded them, "However, when we arrive, don't overreact, otherwise you might scare him and cause him to change his mind!"

"Don't worry, it's not like this is the first time we've done something like this!"

The group exchanged glances, all brimming with confidence.

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a figure finally emerged from the Five Animals Sect's mountain gate, then, with an air of indifference, turned right and headed towards this mountain path.

This is Xu Hao.

As soon as he left the Five Animals Sect's mountain gate, he sensed the presence of Sikong Mou and the others. Moreover, in the deeper part of the forest, he also detected two martial artists with even stronger auras.

Although it was well hidden, Xu Hao's current attributes could be clearly sensed.

"If you want to play, then I'll play with you. But don't end up being unable to afford it!" Xu Hao said with a smirk as he approached.
