“That's great!” Zhang Hao's face showed satisfaction.
“Cough, cough, cough...”
Cao Jun coughed dryly. He narrowed his eyes slightly at Zhang Hao and said, “Zhang Hao. You are also a Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect. Presumably, you should also contribute to the Sect, right?”
Zhang Hao nodded and said with a smile, “Within my capabilities, this Disciple will naturally contribute to the Hao Xian Sect.”
“Very good, Zhang Hao, you also know that our Hao Xian Sect is currently facing the threat of the Heavenly Demon Sect. And the Hao Xian Sect's mountain protection array is a very important part of our Hao Xian Sect. But as you said, the mountain protection array is now in tatters, with less than one-tenth of its power remaining. Therefore, I hope you can think carefully for the Sect and help repair the Sect's mountain protection array,” Cao Jun said to Zhang Hao with a smile.
“Alas, Sect Leader! This Disciple also wants to, but when an Array Dao Master sets up an array, it is a great test of one's mental state. Now that this Disciple has been unjustly wronged by the Law Enforcement Hall, his mental state has been impacted, and he is probably powerless at the moment,” Zhang Hao said with a helpless expression.
Cao Jun secretly resented in his heart: He knew this guy wanted to ask him for conditions. He was probably unhappy that he had not punished Cao Yang.
Therefore, although Cao Jun was a little dissatisfied, at this moment, for the mountain protection array to be successfully repaired, Cao Jun had no choice but to endure.
Three hours later, Cao Jun brought Cao Yang over.
“Come, go apologize to Zhang Hao,” Cao Jun said to Cao Yang in a deep voice.
Cao Yang felt extremely wronged. As the Fu Zi of the Hao Xian Sect, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Although he was unwilling, under the coercion of his Father, he could only endure.
“Zhang Hao, I'm sorry,” Cao Yang said to Zhang Hao indignantly with his head lowered.
Zhang Hao dug his ears and said to Cao Yang with a look of great confusion, “What did you say? Why didn't I hear clearly?”
Cao Yang glared at Zhang Hao and said, “You...”
“What?” Zhang Hao looked at Cao Yang at his leisure, his expression carrying mockery.
“Cao Yang!”
Cao Jun, who was beside him, glared at Cao Yang, who was almost about to explode.
Cao Yang finally suppressed his almost explosive mood and said to Zhang Hao, “Zhang Hao, I was wrong earlier.”
“Oh, I heard clearly this time. Okay, this time is fine. Don't let there be a next time!”
Zhang Hao also knew that Cao Yang was Cao Jun's flesh and blood, and being able to do this was already rare. It was impossible to push him further.
“Zhang Hao, how do you feel now?”
“The anger in my heart has subsided a bit.” Zhang Hao stood up and stretched.
“Zhang Hao, what other requests do you have?”
Tu Zhan also saw the anger on Cao Jun's face. Therefore, he quickly stepped forward to mediate.
“Elder Tu, several of my friends are still Registered Disciples. Can they become Outer Sect Disciples of the Hao Xian Sect?” Zhang Hao asked Tu Zhan.
“That's no problem.” Tu Zhan glanced at Zhang Hao and nodded.
Outer Sect Disciples do not require much resources for the Hao Xian Sect. This request is not excessive.
The reason Zhang Hao did not request them to be Inner Disciples was that he also knew that with the current cultivation of Liu Jie and the others, jumping directly into the Inner Sect of the Hao Xian Sect would not be a good thing; it would just be pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
“Alright, I have no problem. Now my mood is completely good.” Zhang Hao smiled.
Tu Zhan looked at Zhang Hao and quickly asked, “Then can you repair the array now?”
Zhang Hao nodded and said with a slight smile, “There is no problem now.”
“That's great, Zhang Hao, when will you go repair the mountain protection array?” Tu Zhan asked Zhang Hao with joy on his face.
“Repairing the mountain protection array is no problem for me, but I need some Materials. I don't know if these Materials are available in our Hao Xian Sect,” Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said.
“What Materials?” Cao Jun looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
Zhang Hao took out a piece of paper and wrote down hundreds of Materials on it. Of course, some of these Materials were needed by Zhang Hao to upgrade his treasures. Some were quite rare. If he didn't extort a bit at this time, it would be too unfair to himself.
“Most of these Materials are available in our Hao Xian Sect. Only a small portion may need to be searched for,” Cao Jun looked at Zhang Hao, frowned, and then said.
“Okay, as long as the Sect Leader can prepare all these Materials, this Disciple can start repairing the mountain protection array,” Zhang Hao smiled.

“Father, why compromise with a mere Inner Disciple? You are the Sect Leader! What can he do to you?” Cao Yang said to his Father, somewhat dissatisfied.
Cao Jun glanced at Cao Yang lightly and said in a deep voice, “Do you think Father's words carry absolute weight in the Hao Xian Sect? Above your Father, there is still a Supreme Elder pressing down. Zhang Hao is someone the Supreme Elder values, so Father naturally needs to be polite to him.”
“Then are you just going to watch your son be so wronged?” Cao Yang said somewhat unwillingly.
Cao Jun glanced at Cao Yang and said in a cold voice, “Don't worry! As long as he repairs the Hao Xian Sect's mountain protection array, by then, he will have lost his value, and Father will have plenty of opportunities to deal with him.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Jun was finally relieved.
Zhang Hao returned to his residence, and Song Sitian rushed forward, saying to Zhang Hao worriedly, “Young Master, where did you go?”
Zhang Hao affectionately pinched Song Sitian's delicate nose and said, “So concerned about Young Master? Young Master had something to do.”
Song Sitian was then relieved, breaking into a smile through her tears.
After Zhang Hao comforted Song Sitian, he returned to his room. He took out the Five Elements Beast Blood obtained in the Feixian Forest this time and began to irrigate the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) according to the method provided by the System.
Under Zhang Hao's irrigation with the Five Elements Beast Blood, the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) began to turn blood-red. Immediately after, Zhang Hao began to bake the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) with the Nether Lotus Demonic Flame.
Under the baking of Zhang Hao's Nether Lotus Demonic Flame, the divinity that the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) had originally lost was rekindled. At this point, Zhang Hao was very excited. He could see that using Five Elements Beast Blood combined with the baking of the Nether Lotus Demonic Flame on the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) was indeed effective. The method given by the System Store was viable.
“Continue!”
As Zhang Hao continued to bake with the Nether Lotus Demonic Flame, slowly, he felt that the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) seemed to lack staying power, which made him feel a little strange.
“No, if this continues, although the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) can recover, it cannot recover to its Peak.”
Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
Zhang Hao pondered the reason and felt that it was likely because his Nether Lotus Demonic Flame, although infinitely close to a divine flame, was still some distance away from a divine flame, and its intensity was somewhat insufficient.
“Right, I don't just have the Nether Lotus Demonic Flame, I also have the Void Devouring Flame!”
Looking at the somewhat listless Nether Lotus Demonic Flame, Zhang Hao put it away and then summoned the Void Devouring Flame.
