Chapter 425 New Inspector’s Arrival

Saber Master’s tone was a bit strange between teasing and ridiculing. Knowing her fondness of wicked fun, Ding Hao got a bad hunch in his heart. Before he could ask for details, Saber Master blurted out several herbs.

“Yangding grass, Suoyang, Yingong, Lieyang branch…” Ding Hao repeated the names, feeling a bit confused, and uttered, “These herbs are considered precious but… Their efficacy…”

“That’s right. These herbs are for making a top-grade aphrodisiac. Hahaha. Little Chap Ding, the recipe I just told you an order-6 formula called the Rambling Heaven and Earth Harmony Pill. Haha. Come on, young man. Make it without hesitation. Haha. This pill will be of great use in the future.” Saber Master’s words sounded wicked and creepy.

An aphrodisiac indeed.

Ding Hao hesitated for a moment and asked uneasily, “An aphrodisiac is useless to me, isn’t it?”

Sword Master laughed out loud, “This old woman is full of dirty thoughts. Little Chap Ding, don’t listen to her or you’ll make yourself a fool.”

Saber Master became furious at once and shouted, “Cheap Master, you are dirty. You are full of dirty thoughts. You have degraded with your master… You know nothing. This Rambling Heaven and Earth Harmony pill is more than just an aphrodisiac; it’s also a very powerful violent potion. The incredible thing about this pill is that this order-6 pill is impossible to resist even for a Martial King or a Martial Grand Emperor. Once invaded, even just the slightest amount, you will lose control immediately and become unable to think. This pill is very special. Hehe. Use it wisely and it can work wonders on some occasions.”

There was undisguised excitement in Saber Master’s voice.

Ding Hao and Sword Master remained silent for a moment.

They both suddenly felt cold on their back. This madwoman was terrifying. “Have you ever seen a fairy into aphrodisiacs?”

Convinced by Saber Master’s final words, Ding Hao began to refine according to Saber Master’s formula after some hesitation.

Herbs like Suoyang and Yingong had two genders, reconciling and balancing each other. They were essential for many pills thus Ding Hao had plenty with him. There was no need to go out for more.

At the urging of Saber Master, Ding Hao took out the alchemy stove and followed the Law of Refining Elixir, mixing the soya-bean-sized Rambling Powder with other herbs in the stove. He drove the Heaven Fire Qi in his body and squeezed out a handprint. After half an hour, the legendary Rambling Heaven and Earth Harmony pill was completed.

That was an elixir transparent and void. You wouldn’t be able to notice it without a careful look.

The higher order a pill was of, the higher intelligence it had. This longan-sized transparent elixir was like a living creature struggling violently in Ding Hao’s hand for escape. Ding Hao kept it down with his powerful Divine Awareness and eventually subdued it completely after some hard effort.

After satisfying Saber Master’s wicked interest, Ding Hao resumed his training.

…

The assassination at the Mirror Lake under the moonlight didn’t spread out at first.

Ding Hao didn’t really care how the senior management of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would make use of this incident to gain the maximum benefit. Hence, he didn’t bother asking.

Three days later, the Martial Artists of Human Tribe around the Mirror Lake were startled again.

Because the Divine Design Valley once again updated the Hidden Genius List. Like before, it was due to Ding Hao who advanced by leaps and bounds all the way to the top 10. Everyone was stunned.

In addition, there was another thing more startling.

Once in the top 10 on the Snow Province Hidden Genius List, Jiang Disheng from the Tranquility Academy disappeared from the list completely. At the same time, Bi Xia and Xia Nishang the Double Wind and Lightning of the Leiyin Sect dropped respectively from 13 and 14 to 48 and 36 on the list.

People were shocked by the news.

Jiang Disheng vanished. Did he die?

There were many speculations about the Double Wind and Lightning’s drop in ranking.

Not long after, rumors began to spread.

Some proclaimed insiders revealed an extremely violent conflict between Jiang Disheng, the Double Wind and Lightning, and Ding Hao the night before the drastic change in the Hidden Genius List, where Ding Hao scored a beautiful victory while Jiang Disheng died after a bitter defeat and the Double Wind and Lightning were imprisoned…

For a moment, the entire Snow Province was shocked.

Ding Hao alone defeated three masters on the Hidden Genius List around the same level?

Such a matter would be considered the most ridiculous joke a few days ago but then many people began to believe it seeing the changes on the Hidden Genius List. Meanwhile, the Tranquility Academy and the Leiyin Sect’s silence of shame confirmed the rumors indirectly.

Ding Hao began to be shrouded by a layer of mysterious color.

He got a tendency to be deified.

Without knowing, many started to compare him to the top talent of Snow Province Mu Tianyang. When they looked back, they were surprised by Ding Hao’s rapid growth from a nobody to a legend in Snow Province, faster and more incredible than that unbelievably amazing Mu Tianyang.

Was another monster about to be born?

At that time, Ding Hao was the hottest topic across Mirror Lake.

…

“The news has leaked out?” By the window of the pavilion of the Strolling in the Moon Palace, Ding Hao gazed at the lake in the distance and frowned slightly, feeling a bit uneasy.

There’s no smoke without fire. The fight wouldn’t be known by any outsider if no one was adding fuel to the flame behind the scene.

Who on earth was working so hard to make the stormy sea stormier?

The Tranquility Academy and the Leiyin Sect suffered a bitter loss that night. They would never reveal such a shame to anyone outside. Besides these two sects, only the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was in the know. Was the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect behind these spreading rumors?

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was indeed busy promoting itself at that time. However, considering Li Jianyi’s resolution and vision, he should know that going beyond the limit could be just as bad as falling short. After the fight with the two demon kings at the Mirror Lake and the series of changes on the Snow Province Hidden Genius List, his fame was already prominent in the Human tribe in Snow Province. He could stand side by side with any top warrior of the young generation. There was no need for deliberate promotion.

Why would the sect spread these?

Secretly, some power was drawing all the attention of Snow Province to him.

Ding Hao felt a little strange.

As he was pondering, the sound of footsteps came closer, followed by a rush knock on the door. Ding Hao shook his head with a helpless smile. It was his “mate” Huang Rong again.

“Hey! You are still here in a trance. Do you know that the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost has sent out a new inspector and the sect Grading Meeting is about to start?” Huang Rong pushed her way in and tapped Ding Hao’s shoulder naturally. She reached out to a bottle of wine on the table and poured it down her throat. “So thirsty. To gather information for you, I skipped my breakfast. What do you think, bro? How would you like to thank me?”

Ding Hao replied with a smile, “Thank you? You’ve finished my super expensive Nether Yin Wine in one gulp!”

“This wine is super expensive?” Huang Rong recalled the flavor with some doubts and muttered, “It does taste pretty good… Hmm… It’s actually pretty strong. I feel hot now and very comfortable… Fine. We are even now. By the way, do you know the new inspector’s surname?”

Ding Hao thought for a moment and answered, “Ding?”

Huang Rong was shocked as if seeing a ghost. “You know already?”

Ding Hao laughed. “Just guessing. You asked me about the inspector’s surname so seriously. I bet it is somehow related to me. So his surname is Ding.”

“Ding Hao, are you really a monster like other people said?” Huang Rong gritted her teeth and continued, “Yes, you got it right. The new Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost inspector’s surname is Ding. Ding Honglei, a very influential figure in the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost. I don’t know why he’s coming to Snow Province.”

Ding Honglei?

What a strange name!

“Hey. Your surname is Ding. So is the inspector’s. Is he your relative?” Huang Rong laughed casually as she grabbed the wine pot to finish the last sip of the Nether Yin Wine, longing for more.

“No way. There are too many people sharing the surname Ding.”

With a gentle smile, Ding Hao took out an emerald bottle from his Storage Ring and handed over. “Here are ten more jin of Dark Yin Wine I’ve brewed for you. Take it. Have three doses a day in the morning, noon and evening and no more than one liang at a time. Practice the Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture right after the wine and you will soon break through the cultivation bottleneck.”

Huang Rong accepted the bottle and had a sniff, not completely convinced. “For real? That magical? I’ll give it a try… You’ve got some conscience for remembering your bro!”

Ding Hao pursed his lips and said no more.

He made the Nether Yin Wine especially for Huang Rong addressing her unique body constitution. This peculiar medical wine took a lot of time and effort of Ding Hao and consumed very precious ingredients. It was no exaggeration to say that one pot was worth a thousand gold. Its effect could be comparable to any third-stage pill. Even the richest man couldn’t buy such a precious item with money.

Thankful for Huang Rong’s help over the days, Ding Hao spared time to make her the ten jin of Nether Yin Wine. If she could use it wisely, her strength would reach a completely different level.

The carefree Huang Rong had no idea how extremely lucky she was. Having a rank-4 top elixir pharmacist refined tonic specifically for her, she had some privileges only those in charge of the superpowers could enjoy.
