Chapter 185 Mother-Son Communication
Although he was told not to be arrogant or conceited, and that there were countless cunning old foxes around, the fact that he was about to reach the sixth rank, coupled with his current combat strength, still made Lu Hao quite restless.
After all, which of the younger generation can compare to him? Even the protagonist, Fang Ping, is now far behind him, especially considering his confidence in his future advancement.
Looking at the old furniture in his home and recalling the past, Lu Hao's heart calmed down.
Slowly, Lu Hao drifted off to sleep, a slight smile on his lips. It had been a long time since he had fallen asleep so naturally.
Since breaking through to the middle rank, he basically doesn't need to rest, except for when he overuses his mental energy, after battle, or after performing magic.
He spends the rest of his time cultivating; resting has become a thing of the past.
As the sun sets, its afterglow filters through the dappled shadows of the trees, illuminating the boy's face. A slight smile plays on his lips, as if he's dreaming of a pleasant scene.
The whole world seemed to slow down, with only time flowing over the sleeping face of the boy, weaving the warmth of dusk into his long, drawn-out breaths.
When Bai Qiuyao returned, this was the scene before her. She didn't disturb Lu Hao, who was sleeping, but instead hurried to the kitchen to cook for the boy.
As night fell, Lu Hao's eyebrows twitched slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his face, stretched, and let out a comfortable sigh. He looked around and realized he was asleep at home. This sleep was very comfortable, washing away all the fatigue he had been feeling lately.
Lu Hao felt that he could break through right now without any problem, but he wasn't in a hurry. Since he was already back, he might as well stay for a few days. Anyway, he wouldn't have anything to do after advancing.
With the help of the Dharma Space, advancing early or late has the same effect and has little impact on Lu Hao's combat power.
Lu Hao's ears twitched slightly as he heard the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen. The person chopping the vegetables did so very quietly, but it didn't escape Lu Hao's notice, who was already awake.
It seems his mother came back and found him asleep, so she chose not to disturb him.
"Mom, I'm awake. You can cook as usual, no need to lower your voice."
Lu Haochong glanced at the kitchen and said something.
"Okay, Hao'er, just wait a little longer, the food will be ready soon."
At the dinner table, Lu Hao noticed that his mother seemed to be opening and closing her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it, so Lu Hao spoke directly.
"Mom, just ask what you want to ask, don't overthink it."
"Hey, you sent back way too many resources. They're useful to you too, right? Use them yourself first. I've been at this level for so many years, I'm not in a hurry."
Bai Qiuyao said that she was startled when she first received the resources from Lu Hao. As the director of the Detective Bureau, she had seen these resources before.
But it was only when she knew that she understood how precious these things were. These things together probably amounted to nearly 30 billion, and there were also two kilograms of liquid she had never seen before, but just the energy emanating from these liquids...
Bai Qiuyao knew that these energy liquids were probably more expensive than those fruits. She had seen and used energy stones before, and they were far more valuable than energy stones.
If she hadn't communicated with Lu Hao over the phone, knowing that all of this was obtained by Lu Hao, she wouldn't have dared to sign for it. Even a Grandmaster would take action against such a large amount of resources.
Even after she received the signed-for items, she didn't dare use them. She just kept them at home and checked them every day when she got back to see if they were still there.
She even bought a safe specifically to store these resources in the future.
"Mom, don't worry about using it. It was specially exchanged for you. I got a batch of energy stones from Wang Jinyang and the others when I went down into the underground cave last time."
I collected over a hundred jin of cultivation energy stones, and I personally took nearly 50 jin to sell to the government, earning over 20 billion. I then exchanged them for these energy fruits. As for the two jin of energy liquid in that jar, it greatly aids in cultivation. I've already reached the peak of the fifth rank and can break through to the sixth rank at any time, so those energy fruits are useless to me. Besides, if they were truly useful, I still have the money. You can use them without worry. I didn't give Dad any energy fruits, since they wouldn't have much effect on him. I only gave him five jin of energy liquid.”
"Besides, look at your current level. What if a cult becomes hostile towards me and captures you? So just focus on improving. Otherwise, I'll be worried about your safety." Lu Hao looked at Bai Qiuyao's situation and knew that she hadn't used the resources he sent back at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't still be at the mid-stage of the fifth rank without any improvement.
So he tried to persuade Bai Qiuyao from multiple angles, since from her perspective there was really no need for her to improve.
However, Lu Hao doesn't lack these things, so if his mother could improve her skills, he would be safer, since cults do have high-level members.
Based on Lu Hao's current behavior, he had no doubt that he had already fallen into the cult's hunting range. Of course, he himself was not afraid.
But it's hard to say what would happen if the cult targeted his family.
My father is in the underground cave, and since he is a seventh-rank official, he can withstand any situation for a while while waiting for rescue.
But it wouldn't work on my mother. She couldn't handle a mid-stage fifth-rank, let alone a seventh-rank. Even if a sixth-rank or a peak fifth-rank came, my mother wouldn't be able to withstand it.
As the head of the Detective Bureau, my mother rarely takes action, and even less so against martial artists of the same rank, since no one at the fifth rank would be foolish enough to commit a crime.
"Hao'er, are you telling the truth? I've been down into the underground caves before. Let alone finding a hundred pounds of energy stones, even if I did, I couldn't bring them back to the human city, could I?"
Bai Qiuyao looked at Lu Hao and said, "Although I've become mediocre now..."
However, having been down into the underground caves before and knowing their conditions, he naturally realized something was amiss in Lu Hao's words after analyzing the situation.
"Mom, look!"
Lu Hao waved his hand and took out the large ringed sword from his storage space, then put it back in. "I had some good fortune in the underground caves and obtained a storage item, which is why I was able to bring it back. So please use it without worry, I have no shortage of resources."
Bai Qiuyao was shocked by Lu Hao's move. After all, who would have thought that such a fantastical thing as storage equipment would suddenly appear in this perfectly normal martial arts world?
However, after a moment of stunned silence, she came to her senses and immediately thought of the safety issues involved.
"Then, Hao'er, does anyone else know about your storage equipment?"
"Don't worry, everyone Mom knows is trustworthy. Besides, I'll soon reach the sixth rank, and my combat power will reach the point of blood essence fusion. I'll soon reach the seventh rank Grandmaster, so there's nothing to worry about."
Lu Hao said, after all, his improvement speed was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
"Then you must be careful and never reveal this thing. After all, even a Grandmaster would be tempted by it. You must not expose it too much before you reach the Grandmaster level."
