Chapter 185 Hou Haitao’s Death, the Fate of White Gloves

After Elder Ding left, Bai Yu had a long look in his eyes.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

I have to find an opportunity to check the ancestral graves of the Ding family.

But he didn't act rashly.

Hatred is just a small episode on the road to eternal life.

Digging graves is just an elegant little hobby.

When his cultivation reaches a high level, the Ding family's ancestral graves will naturally emit black smoke.

"Old Mo, put it on record."

Bai Yu was not in a hurry, but started to attend the funeral and practice according to his own plan.

From time to time, I buy some alchemy materials and try my hand at refining some simple elixirs.

When your cultivation reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, you can start refining the Foundation Establishment Pill and attack the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A month later, an uninvited guest came to Zuowang Peak.

Hou Haitao.

At this time, Hou Haitao was already at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

But there was a look of defeat on his face.

Bai Yu was surprised:

"Senior Brother Hou, what's wrong with you?"

Hou Haitao shook his head:

"My qualifications are really poor. I took one foundation-building pill before entering the secret realm, and now I've taken two more pills, but they didn't work."

Things like foundation building depend on qualifications and luck.

Even if it is a foreign spirit root, there have been cases where a few foundation-building pills were taken in succession, but the foundation could not be established.

Hou Haitao was obviously unlucky.

Bai Yu had no choice but to comfort him:

"Senior Brother Hou, don't worry. With your wealth, you might be able to get one or two more Foundation Establishment Pills in the future."

Hou Haitao shook his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying:

"It's too late, it's too late."

"Now I am a pawn crossing the river. There is only one way until it is dark."

Bai Yu was surprised and uncertain:

"Senior Brother Hou, don't they say that you are appreciated by the Golden Pill Spirit Lord? How come it's too late?"

Hou Haitao smiled bitterly:

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden."

"Some time ago, a foundation-building expert came to my door and wanted to buy the foundation-building pill in my hand."

"From that moment on, I knew there was no way out."

Bai Yu was silent.

Hou Haitao used to be someone else's white glove, doing dirty work and selling magic pills.

In order to travel to the secret realm of Tianmen, the sect turned a blind eye to this.

Sure enough, this time the Leiyang Sect gained a lot from the Tianmen Secret Realm.

Now that the secret realm is over, the magic pill is definitely not allowed to be sold.

Then Hou Haitao is very dangerous and may be thrown out as a scapegoat at any time.

By the way, the money Hou Haitao accumulated while smuggling could also be confiscated.

His only way out is to advance to the foundation building stage and become an inner disciple.

The inner disciples are already the backbone of the sect and will not be given up easily.

After a while, Bai Yu asked:

"Then what are you going to do, Senior Brother Hou?"

Hou Haitao's eyes became firm and he said:

"I plan to build the foundation with thunder."

Bai Yu's complexion changed drastically.

There are many ways to build a foundation, such as introducing lightning into the body, building a foundation with water and fire, or even using blood to build a foundation.

But they are all extremely dangerous, among which the thunder method is the most violent, and it is either successful or dead.

Bai Yu let out a long sigh, took out a porcelain bottle, and said:

"Senior Brother Hou, this is one or two rhinoceros horn incense. It can be lit when building the foundation. It can focus the mind and drive away external demons."

Hou Haitao was stunned.

He is now at the end of his rope, and the only one willing to help him is Bai Yu.

"Junior Brother Bai, thank you."

"I came today to ask for something."

Bai Yu: "Senior Brother Hou, it's okay to say it."

Hou Haitao's eyes were long:

"Actually, I have a wife. I have been in Leiyang Sect for so many years and I have never gone back to see her. I feel sorry for her."

"If I fail to build the foundation this time, please ask my junior brother to go see her on my behalf and ensure that she spends her life safely."

He looked at Bai Yu sincerely:

"Junior Brother Bai, you are the only one I can trust now. Please promise me."

Bai Yu nodded and said:

"Senior Brother Hou, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

Hou Haitao handed over a storage bag:

"Junior Brother Bai, these are my savings over the years. They are all clean. Just take them as a thank you gift."

"If I, the descendant of the Hou family, have spiritual roots, please take care of me, Junior Brother Bai."

Bai Yu did not refuse and accepted the storage bag.

"Senior Brother Hou, please don't worry, I will keep these things for you first."

"When you successfully build the foundation, the property will be returned to its original owner."

Hou Haitao smiled casually:

"I hope so. Come and meet Junior Brother Bai again in three days."

After that, he turned and left.

Three days later, a corpse was delivered from Zuowang Peak, which belonged to Hou Haitao.

He had been reduced to ashes by the thunder.

Hou Haitao is dead after all.

Bai Yu played a suona song and arranged the ceremony together, burying Hou Haitao with his own hands.

During this period, many people came to express condolences to him, in order to confirm that Hou Haitao was really dead.

Seeing with their own eyes that Hou Haitao was really dead, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

When Hou Haitao was alive, he was a scourge that everyone could avoid; when he died, he became everyone's beloved relative and friend.

"The dew on the leaves is so beautiful."

"Lu Xi will fall again in the Ming Dynasty. When will the song of death return?"

The song ended, and this senior brother with whom he had a close friendship was ruined.

[The funeral is successful and the basic reward is obtained: ten years of immortal cultivation, +580,000 life experience. 】

[Optional rewards: Nine Rings Thunder Technique, Flame Sun Technique, Blood Demon Technique, Sword Control Technique, Ascension Technique...]

[The funeral participation rate is 83%, and you can choose an additional reward. 】

After returning home, Bai Yu first received the basic reward and gained ten years of immortal cultivation.

[Cultivation level improvement, ninth level of Qi Refining (25%)]

After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, you can start to impact the foundation.

As for the optional rewards, Bai Yu checked and chose the Nine Rings Thunder Method.

This is a low-grade thunder method of the earth level, which can be integrated with the Purple Thunder Whip.

Bai Yu spent more than 10,000 experience points to integrate the two methods.

[Fusion successful, get the spell Purple Thunder Nine Whips. ]

[Purple Thunder Nine Whips, middle-grade earth level, nine thunders in a row, extremely powerful. ]

Bai Yu nodded lightly.

There is another middle-grade earth level spell. Even in the foundation-building period, it is not completely without the power to protect oneself.

After receiving the reward, Bai Yu began to check Hou Haitao's memory fragments again.

Hou Haitao was born in a small family in the secular world. By chance, he obtained the Qi Refining Method.

His heart to seek the Tao was extremely firm. He decisively abandoned his wife at home and embarked on the immortal road.

He practiced very hard, and practiced for more than eight hours every day.

Unfortunately, he had poor aptitude and his cultivation was very slow.

In the end, he had to think crookedly and took the magic pill.

Later, he developed the business of selling magic pills and became a white glove for others.

Even in the secret realm, he killed several old friends with magic skills, and only then did he get two foundation-building pills.

Even so, he still failed to successfully build the foundation.

That day, he led the thunder into his body, and his efforts were in vain.

He was attacked by the thunder and vomited three liters of blood.

"The vast heaven, how can you be so unkind to me!!!"

"I, Hou Haitao, have been diligent all the way and dared not slack off for half a day. Why did I end up like this?"

"Is it true that those with poor aptitude cannot live forever?"

"I am not willing to accept it! Live forever, live forever!"

He shouted three times and died on the spot.
