After Sun De left, Luo Hao was silent for a while, thinking back to what Sun De had said just now, "Master said that there is no absolute in the world, it's just that my fate has not come true, I absolutely cannot give up."

As he said that, Luo Hao once again examined the Soul Sea, and this time, he was even more shocked.

"How could this be?"

Luo Hao looked at the blood red surroundings of the sarcophagus within the Soul Sea, and was extremely confused.

He recalled what happened that day. "I remember the sarcophagus reacted and gave off a red glow, and then I fainted?"

Luo Hao's expression changed greatly as he self-deprecated: "I never thought that standing behind a broken wall would not work, and in the end, I even made the Soul Sea become neither human nor ghost."

An ordinary person's Soul Sea would normally be as bright as day, but now that Luo Hao's Soul Sea had become like this, Luo Hao immediately regretted his actions.

He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to reopen the Soul Sea, but how could he think that with the sarcophagus suppressing the Soul Sea and the dragon vein in his body, how could he destroy the Soul Sea with his power?

His actions seemed to activate the originally unresponsive sarcophagus, turning it into its current state in a panic.

"Why don't I try again and see if I can draw the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into it?"

Luo Hao did not give up. It was as if this strange sea of Soul Sea gave birth to hope.

The first step of cultivation was perception, which was to sense the existence of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The second step was to establish the Soul Sea, the third step was to draw in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Soul Sea, and the fourth step was to reach Foundation Establishment.

After Foundation Establishment, one becomes a true martial artist. These four steps are very important to a martial artist.

As he said that, Luo Hao sat on the bed with his legs crossed and closed his eyes, he started to draw in the Spirit Qi, but every time the Spirit Qi entered the Soul Sea, it would immediately disappear.

Luo Hao opened his eyes in disappointment and could not help but sigh.

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept across the room. Beside the bed, there was an additional table, and a teapot was placed on top of it. He couldn't help but feel warm inside.

When he thought of this, Luo Hao once again thought of his own father and his sister who he had grown up with.

He paused for a second, then slammed his clenched fists against the wall.

"Why am I so useless?"

Luo Hao's fist still did not leave the wall. His head was lowered, and he was silent for a long time, and then, he suddenly walked out of the bed. There was an additional trace of determination in his eyes, as if he had silently made a decision in his heart.

He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, his hand holding the teapot suspended in the air. Perhaps he was once again thinking of his lover, his friends, and his family.

Luo Hao put down the teapot and picked up the cup again, he placed the cup down the corner of his mouth and took a sip, his eyes looking out the window, his mind probably not moving from the room. Early in the morning of the second day, Luo Hao had already arrived at Sun De's courtyard, standing in front of the door, he respectfully said to the inside: "Master, your disciple's body has already recovered by more than half, what do you need me to do?"

After he finished speaking, there was still no silence inside, and after a moment of silence, Luo Hao tried to call out again: "Master?"

"Your daily mission is to go to the back of the mountain and cut down ten branches of Black Blood Bamboo."

Sun De sounded impatient.

Luo Hao was confused. He didn't know why Sun De wanted him to do this, but he didn't dare to go against Sun De's orders. He swallowed the words he wanted to ask, and in the end, Luo Hao could only "oh".

He was very careful not to touch the herbs planted in the yard. Although he had only been here for two days, he knew that Sun De treated these things as his precious treasure.

After Luo Hao left, Sun De walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. He looked into the distance in silence for a moment, then shook his head and entered the house.

Sun De lived in a small mountain between the Reincarnation Peak and himself. Sun De called the mountain the Heart Refining Mountain.

Initially, Luo Hao felt that this name was strange, but after thinking back to what Sun De had said that day, he understood the origin of this name. Sun De's life was also complicated, and his cultivation was hindered as he stepped onto the road of pill refining.

The "Black Blood Bamboo" mentioned by Sun De

Ever since he was born in Heart Refining Mountain, it was the first time Luo Hao visited this place.

The Heart Refining Mountain was not as tall as the Reincarnation Peak, but it was covered by a layer of mist in the morning. From afar, the mountain looked like a fairyland.

After walking for over an hour, Luo Hao finally arrived at the Black Blood Bamboo Forest. Looking at the pitch black bamboo forest in front of him, Luo Hao thought of the green bamboo forest at the back of the Luo Family household.

Then, he cast his thoughts aside and looked at the scimitar in his hand. He then chose the more sturdy lesson of the Black Blood Bamboo.

"This bamboo is completely black, and as thick as a tree. It is truly rare, Solitary Howling Sect is truly not simple."

Luo Hao could not help but let out a sigh, and then said: "Although this bamboo is a bit thicker than normal, Master only asked me to cut it ten times a day. Why is that so?"

Luo Hao shook his head, picked up the curved blade, and without hesitation he slashed at the Black Blood Bamboo.

Then, a crisp sound floated in the bamboo forest. Suddenly, he felt his palm go numb. However, when he looked at the black bamboo again, all he saw was a knife mark.

Luo Hao sucked in a cold breath. Before, with just a slash from his Heaven Swallowing Sword, he was able to kill a practitioner at the early stage of Soul Strengthening Realm.

"Now I know. It's probably enough to choke off ten branches of Black Blood Bamboo a day!"

He was very disappointed. If it was him from the past, he would have been able to effortlessly cut these broken bamboos apart, but in the end, he was still just an ordinary person with no cultivation.

Right now, Luo Hao was already physically and mentally exhausted. During lunch time, he only needed to find a few wild fruits to eat, but when he heard his stomach growling non-stop, he truly did not have any strength left, so he dragged his exhausted body back to his living quarters.

Just as he entered the courtyard, Luo Hao found Sun De standing in the courtyard. Sun De saw his disciple standing there in a daze, and immediately asked impatiently: "Are you done cutting the ten black blood bamboo sticks?"

Luo Hao was startled, then immediately blushed and said: "Master, I, I only cut eight."

Sun De harrumphed and seemed to have thought of something as he said slowly, "Forget it, let's eat first."

Luo Hao: "Oh."

After saying that, he followed Sun De into the dining room, and after seeing Sun De sit down, he obediently sat down. The current Luo Hao did not have his usual domineering demeanor, but he did not care at all.

Sun De looked at the dirty Luo Hao and bellowed: Go wash your hands first.

Luo Hao was startled for a moment. Only now did he realize that his hands and clothes were extremely dirty. He touched his nose, awkwardly responded, then ran out to wash his hands.

After confirming that Luo Hao had already left the room, Sun De took out a bottle from his chest pocket. He glanced at the somewhat old and crude looking bottle and muttered: "This is a Spirit Transforming Pill that I spent a year refining.

Sun De then poured out a Spirit Pill. The pill was a dark green color, like an emerald.

Sun De casually pinched the pill and turned it into powder, then he sprinkled the powder into Luo Hao's bowl evenly.

Hearing the voice outside the door, Sun De immediately put the bottle back into his pocket. His face was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

Sun De saw Luo Hao standing by the side of the table, and said impatiently: "Do you need me to invite you to sit?"

Luo Hao exclaimed, and immediately waved his hand: "No, Master."

Sun De immediately shook his head. Although he doted on this disciple of his for some reason, sometimes he felt that Luo Hao was really clumsy.

However, how would he know that Luo Hao was being cautious because of Sun De's weird temper? It was only because of this that Luo Hao was cautious, afraid that he would make a mistake and anger Sun De.

During dinner, Luo Hao would glance at Sun De from time to time.

"Luo Hao, do you have something to say?"

Sun De asked in a serious tone.

"No, no. Master, I only cut eight bamboo sticks, isn't that very useless?"

Luo Hao did not dare look into Sun De's eyes, and could only lower his head.

"What do you think?"

Luo Hao had already expected that to happen, so he tactfully stopped speaking.

Sun De grunted, "Such a disappointing thing. You can't even endure this little bit of suffering?"

Luo Hao suddenly raised his head upon hearing Sun De's words, but hearing such words, he lowered his head in shame, thinking to himself: I am nothing now, I can only rely on myself, I can endure hardships, but I definitely can.

Sun De saw that Luo Hao was deep in thought, and was angry, he immediately dropped his chopsticks, snorted, and walked out.

Sun De was too lazy to scold Luo Hao again, but from Luo Hao's perspective, he felt that Sun De was very concerned about him, even though they had only known each other for a few days.

But he himself had never been able to do it well. Sun De's attitude could already be considered magnanimous, Luo Hao felt ashamed of himself, but he swore to himself that in the future, he would train even more diligently, hoping to recover his cultivation.

At night, the moonlight shone through the window and onto Luo Hao's bed. It was a little cold.

Luo Hao sat on the bed with his legs crossed and eyes closed, carefully comprehending the remnant soul technique the Universe Divine General passed to him, the remnant soul technique was a cultivation technique specifically for cultivating the Martial Spirit, although he had no cultivation now, Luo Hao wanted to try and see if he could cultivate the Martial Spirit.

However, that was the cultivation method of the Divine General's Universe. It was not so easy to cultivate.

Therefore, Luo Hao hadn't even stepped through the doorstep of this cultivation technique for a long time!

Just like this, a month passed by unknowingly. Luo Hao would still go to the back of the mountain to chop black bamboo, Sun De would also add Spirit Transforming Pills into his meals everyday, unaware of the effects of the Spirit Transforming Pills that had been settling in his body for a long time.

Of course, he would sit on his bed every night and study the remnant soul technique, and he felt that the remnant soul technique was very profound. Moreover, he discovered that the remnant soul technique could not only cultivate martial spirits, but also practice as a one-step technique, with the ability to stabilize the meridians, and could also help the ginseng. It seemed that cultivating the remnant soul technique would make cultivating other secret arts much easier.
