"Brother-in-law, you're just joking! But, if you can really... really refine it, Xian'er can agree to you."
Murong Xian'er's cheeks flushed. Speaking of which, Murong Xian'er had never even held a boy's hand, let alone been kissed by a man, in her life.
"Alright, you said it."
Zhang Hao smiled slightly. Immediately after, Zhang Hao began refining Dan.
Actually, Zhang Hao was just silently chanting the refinement process in his mind.
Although the System was upgrading, there weren't many changes apart from not dropping equipment when killing people.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao, Overlord Body Pill refinement successful. Proficiency +3"
"Done."
Zhang Hao smiled slightly.
"Hmph, Brother-in-law, you're not just pretending, are you! Refining it like this and succeeding, Xian'er doesn't believe it."
Murong Xian'er looked at Zhang Hao with a hint of disdain. "Then open it and see for yourself."
Zhang Hao said, looking at Murong Xian'er. Murong Xian'er looked at Zhang Hao's very confident appearance and felt very puzzled. Could he have really refined it? But as soon as this thought arose, Murong Xian'er herself denied it. This was too unlikely. To succeed in refining Dan like this... then there would be too many Alchemists in this world!
Despite this, seeing Zhang Hao's very confident look, Murong Xian'er couldn't help but feel curious. She immediately opened the lid of the Dan cauldron.
An aroma of Dan filled the air, making Murong Xian'er feel refreshed.
Staring inside the Dan cauldron, Murong Xian'er's expression was incredibly strange. She murmured, "Impossible, this is impossible."
The Little Black Cat seemed very curious. It jumped onto the Dan cauldron, and after seeing the Dan inside, its expression was also one of astonishment.
There were a total of nine Dan. Although it seemed like one less than before, the quality of these nine Dan was indeed better. Four Low Grade, three mid-grade, and two High Grade.
Obviously, because Zhang Hao's proficiency had increased and he had a burst of good luck, this result occurred.
"That doesn't count, Brother-in-law, how could you have refined it? You must have prepared them beforehand."
Murong Xian'er looked at Zhang Hao and snorted. "Xian'er, it seems you're planning to renege?"
Zhang Hao looked at Murong Xian'er with a half-smile. Murong Xian'er's cheeks flushed, and she said, "I didn't! If Brother-in-law can refine it one more time, Xian'er will believe you."
Zhang Hao knew that Murong Xian'er wouldn't give up until she saw it with her own eyes. He smiled and said, "Alright, Xian'er, since you don't believe me, your Brother-in-law will refine it one more time for you to see. You better open your eyes wide. If you say your Brother-in-law is cheating again, Brother-in-law will spank your little butt."
"Brother-in-law, you're such a hooligan. And you want to hit me there."
Murong Xian'er immediately blushed. Her delicate and lovely face made people want to take a bite out of it.
Zhang Hao smiled faintly and began refining Dan again.
Murong Xian'er and the Little Black Cat also watched Zhang Hao without blinking.
Murong Xian'er thought to herself: This time, I'll see how you actually refine it. Xian'er doesn't believe that Brother-in-law's messy concoction can really refine Dan. The most important thing is that Alchemy requires fire, even the most ordinary Dan fire.
Zhang Hao still threw all the medicinal ingredients into the Dan cauldron as before. He still didn't use Dan fire.
"Alchemy!"
"Ding dong, congratulations Player Zhang Hao, Overlord Body Pill refinement successful, Proficiency +3"
"Done!"
Zhang Hao chuckled. Murong Xian'er immediately stepped forward and lifted the lid of the Dan cauldron. This time there were ten Dan. Three Low Grade, four mid-grade, and three High Grade.
The aroma of Dan wafted over, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.
"Brother-in-law, you... you really refined it?"
Murong Xian'er's expression was incredibly surprised. Zhang Hao looked at Murong Xian'er and smiled slightly, "Xian'er, this time, you won't say I refined them beforehand, right!"
This time, Murong Xian'er watched Zhang Hao refine Dan the entire time, so of course she didn't think Zhang Hao was cheating. However, how could he refine Dan without Dan fire? This still made Murong Xian'er feel a bit incredible.
Even the Little Black Cat looked at Zhang Hao, its eyes carrying a strange glint.
Zhang Hao smiled and didn't mention the bet again. Instead, he put the Overlord Body Dan into a bottle.
Body Refinement not only requires Dan but also external force for better absorption. While out hunting, Zhang Hao also accidentally discovered a huge waterfall. If he could Cultivate the God-Demon Overlord Body Art under the waterfall, he might achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Zhang Hao stood under the waterfall.
At first, as soon as he entered the waterfall, his body was so unstable from the powerful impact of the water that he couldn't stand properly. After failing more than ten times in a row, he finally found his footing after adapting to the water's impact.
After taking a Dan. The Dan was under the immense impact of the waterfall. It was easily absorbed by his body. His Physical Body was constantly solidifying under the internal and external tempering of the Overlord Body Dan's medicinal power and the waterfall's pressure.
Three days passed in a hurry. Zhang Hao had stayed at the waterfall for three days.
After Zhang Hao had refined all the Dan. His God-Demon Overlord Body Art had only reached the early Peak of the third layer.
In other words, Zhang Hao's God-Demon Overlord Body Art was currently equivalent to reaching the Peak of the Early Stage of Great Martial Master.
Zhang Hao felt a little regretful. He originally thought that relying on the Overlord Body Dan would allow his God-Demon Overlord Body Art to break through to the fourth layer, but thinking about it now, it was a bit of a pipe dream. The reason his God-Demon Overlord Body Art could improve so quickly was also because it was supported by his cultivation. At this moment, the God-Demon Overlord Body Art reaching its current level had already reached a limit. Breaking through in the future would surely be even more difficult.
After all, the Overlord Body Dan was a relatively ordinary Dan. The body developed resistance, and after producing antibodies, the medicinal effect sharply decreased. Helping him reach the early Peak of the third layer was already the limit. It seemed that in the future, to break through the God-Demon Overlord Body Art, he would have to seek other Dan.
Although he hadn't broken through, relying on the strength of his Physical Body, if Zhang Hao were to fight Li Haofeng or Wang Shijun now, he could probably easily crush them, right?
Returning to the cave dwelling.
At this moment, the little girl and the Little Black Cat were playing with each other.
Seeing Zhang Hao return, the Little Black Cat let out a "Meow!" and pounced onto Zhang Hao. Murong Xian'er was indeed a bit unhappy.
"Brother-in-law, I haven't eaten your roasted meat for three days, what do you say we do?"
The Little Black Cat was also constantly gesturing with its two little paws, protesting non-stop.
Zhang Hao chuckled. He also felt a little embarrassed; he had been busy cultivating himself these past few days and had forgotten about them.
"We've already prepared the prey, Brother-in-law, you just handle it!"
Murong Xian'er giggled. Zhang Hao immediately transformed into a great chef and placed a few roasted ducks on the grill.
Half an hour later, a few fragrant roasted ducks were ready.
"It smells so good! Who is it? Let's go take a look."
Several male voices sounded from the edge of the forest.
Immediately after, over a dozen youths walked out from the side.
Zhang Hao frowned. Looking at the clothes these people were wearing, they seemed to be from the Li Family.
"Oh ho, there's a girl, not bad, quite pretty. Looks like we can have some fun."
A youth laughed.
