Chapter 1031: Chapter 213: The Holy Infant Finally Becomes, The Second to Transform to Immortal (10,000 Words Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Clearly, though Mivu Heaven is isolated from the outside world, news from beyond still reaches here.

Li Hao said, “I dare not claim ’monster,’ my name is Haotian.”

“I’ve heard of your title, a prodigy unseen in All Heavens for a million years, not a reincarnated body, yet matching a Reincarnated Saint. My disciple showed me your battle projection; it was truly impressive.”

Mi Tian Saint smiled, his eyes fully revealing his admiration for Li Hao.

Li Hao was a bit surprised, lightly chuckled, and said, “The senior flatters me.”

Mi Tian Saint said, “I’ve heard that the Sixth Extreme Realm can grasp a trace of immortal power. If you can use that trace as a guide, perhaps I can refine a true Immortal Pill.”

“Perhaps we can give it a try.”

Li Hao suggested.

“Hmm.”

Mi Tian Saint agreed, then called his disciple, also a Saint, to prepare the Alchemy Room and make the necessary preparations.

Refining Immortal Pills requires not only the Alchemy Room and supplementary herbs but also an array to concentrate the Holy Land’s Holy Vein power, infusing it into the Alchemy Room to ensure abundant strength.

These preparations would take half a month, so with nothing else to do, Li Hao, at Mi Tian Saint’s invitation, temporarily stayed in Mivu Heaven.

“The old man also loves Chess Tao?”

Li Hao noticed that Mi Tian Saint’s courtyard was extremely simple, with another Medicine Garden nearby, and tools like a hoe and shovel forged from Divine Weapon, resembling a normal farmhouse courtyard, only exceedingly clean.

Aside from a teapot and two free-range flying cranes, there was also a chessboard placed on a mat in the courtyard.

“Yes, living this long, with idle time, one would naturally like delving into other things. This Chess Tao is quite intricate, truly interesting. Do you understand it?”

Mi Tian Saint invited Li Hao to his courtyard as a guest, intending to serve him tea. The tea leaves were self-grown, handpicked, and processed by Mi Tian Saint, possessing magical effects that could enhance cultivation, calm the mind, and strengthen the Dao Heart.

If there were Heart Demon distractions, a cup of tea could cleanse and release them.

“I understand a bit.”

Li Hao was somewhat interested, rarely meeting fellow enthusiasts, and proactively said, “How about a game?”

Mi Tian Saint, upon hearing this, put down the shovel and smiled, saying, “Let me accompany you, then.”

After speaking, he arranged the dirt on his clothes, patted his sleeves, invited Li Hao to sit in the seat, and then beckoned for the tea prepared earlier.

He brewed and poured tea for Li Hao first, remarking while pouring, “In the past, I always had the little cranes accompany me. Although my disciples knew of this passion and tried to please me, their minds were too distracted on the chessboard, and winning or losing wasn’t satisfying. Don’t hold back.”

Having poured a cup for himself, his demeanor was natural and tranquil.

Li Hao took a sip, feeling beyond the fragrant tea aroma entering his heart, a sense of invigorated power surging through his entire body. Additionally, the tea brought a peculiar fragrance into his body, prompting him to admire:

“Good tea!”

Afterwards, the two began a game with tea.

In Chess Tao, true skill is revealed within three to five moves.

After a few moves, the casual smile on Mi Tian Saint’s face became slightly more solemn, indicating Li Hao’s Chess Tao was not mere play but quite refined.

Currently, Li Hao was at Chess Dao Eighth Rank, considered top-tier in All Heavens.

“Not bad, not bad…”

Mi Tian Saint, placing his pieces no longer casually, maintained a smile.

Li Hao also noticed the opponent’s chess abilities exceeding his own, a rarity that brought him joy.

In their first match, Li Hao was defeated, yet he felt happy, as it was rare to encounter a worthy opponent.

In the following days, aside from playing chess, Li Hao accompanied Mi Tian Saint in the Medicine Garden, observing herbs, while Mi Tian Saint used a small shovel to remove weeds, adjust the roots and stems, and trim unnecessary branches, casually sharing information about the herbs with Li Hao.

Though Li Hao wasn’t very interested, he listened quietly.

As their relationship grew more familiar, Li Hao found the old man to be quite kind. Somewhat puzzled, after concluding a chess game, he asked:

“Old man, I heard Feng and Lie Sky Saint were your disciples. Why did they leave?”

Upon Li Hao’s inquiry about this matter, Mi Tian Saint’s just-won smile faded considerably, falling silent for a moment before sipping some tea and adjusting his posture, looking towards the distance beyond the eaves.

“To speak of it, it’s my younger years of arrogance, insistence on my way, wronged them.”

“Oh?”

Li Hao was surprised, as the old man appeared very easygoing, hard to imagine him as an arrogant and self-centered person.

Yet he knew time changes people, even for a short century-long life of a mortal. Things disliked in childhood might become embraced and pursued as one grows.

When one can understand what was once disliked, perhaps it’s a sign of maturity.

“Back then, they practiced by my side, followed me in alchemy and artifact refining. Both were extremely talented, and I taught them wholeheartedly. But later, during a search in a Forbidden Land, I found a top-tier Daoist Soldier embryo.”

“That embryo had the potential to become the strongest Daoist Soldier in All Heavens in my hands if properly refined.”

“Unfortunately, it was later lost.”

“Only they could access my artifact refining chamber and the Daoist Soldier embryo, so I suspected they were greedy and stole it.”

Mi Tian Saint’s voice grew softer as he spoke, his gaze shifting from the horizon to the Medicine Garden before him, though unfocused, still seeming lost in memories.
