Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 356: Chapter 5 Foundation Establishment, Peerless Talent (Two-in-One Chapter)_4

At this moment, as the medicinal liquid flowed in, Li Hao felt his entire body heat up, his small frame brimming with surging power.

So this is what Foundation Establishment feels like… Li Hao felt as though his entire body was being massaged, comfortable and relaxed.

While Li Hao was enjoying the sensation, outside, Li Tianzong and Chen Hefang, among others, were stunned.

The other “brothers” of Li Hao who had already completed their Foundation Establishment were also shocked by the changes occurring within the medicinal barrel.

Their speed was far surpassed by his.

“So fast, is he going to finish absorbing it within the time it takes an incense stick to burn?” Li Xingbei, the eldest, said.

“He’s much faster than me, even faster than our ninth brother, so exaggerated!” Li Fengping, the second oldest, also said astonished.

As Li Tianzong watched the color of the liquid in the medicinal barrel grow lighter, drawn toward Li Hao’s body like a dragon sucking water, his initial shock quickly turned into joyful laughter.

“Excellent, excellent! Truly worthy of being my son!”

He laughed out loud, looking at Li Hao with a face full of affection.

But Li Hao was simply basking in the comfort.

In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the liquid in the medicinal barrel clarified, having been completely absorbed by Li Hao.

Li Tianzong had already instructed Zhao to bring a second barrel for Li Hao, which was then poured in.

After absorbing three barrels in succession, Li Hao’s body was finally saturated.

Li Tianzong himself was so amazed that he was at a loss for words, murmuring, “Even more than double the amount of little nine!”

Li Hao felt his whole body and perceived a lightness akin to a swallow. Simply the first day of Foundation Establishment had already transformed his body and greatly improved his constitution.

Li Hao didn’t stop, but after merely closing his eyes for a moment, he arrived five days later, jumping a bit too far ahead.

Yet, Li Hao felt his body was significantly stronger than before, suggesting that during the skipped days, he had been absorbing the Foundation Establishment medicinal liquid with all his might.

With that in mind, Li Hao immediately closed his eyes again, allowing time to leap forward faster, waking up several days later each time he opened his eyes.

Each time, he would check his body to ensure everything was proceeding normally before swiftly leaping ahead again.

Time kept fast-forwarding until a year later arrived.

At four years old, Blood Melting.

Because of Li Hao’s uncommon talent, Li Tianzong slaughtered a Demon King to obtain its precious blood for Li Hao’s refinement.

Yet, after dilution, the precious blood was only tested in small quantities at first.

Ordinary Blood Melting practices that use blood from beings of the Heavenly Human Realm are already the prerogative of wealthy and noble families.

Only a few select direct disciples of top sects employ the blood of beings from the Three Immortal Realms.

As for the blood of a Demon King, it is seldom used. Firstly, it is too precious and hard to come by. Secondly, its potency is so great that a four-year-old child could hardly bear it, risking infection by the Demon blood and transforming into a Half-Demon.

Li Tianzong was also cautious, not giving too much precious blood on the first attempt.

But soon, Li Hao’s absorption rate once again surprised him, as the diluted Demon King precious blood was quickly absorbed by Li Hao.

“Excellent, excellent.”

Li Tianzong grinned from ear to ear, overjoyed by his youngest son’s prodigious talent. Indeed, this was the most exceptional talent he had recognized in the Li Family for hundreds of years!

After the Blood Melting at four years old, although still a child, Li Hao now possessed an undeniable vigor throughout his body.

Li Hao decided not to skip any further but instead fast-forwarded to his free time when he was not soaking in the exotic blood, and found Zhao to procure a chessboard for him.

Zhao, though surprised by Li Hao’s strange request, did not object, cherishing the exceptionally talented young master. He had a house servant purchase a set.

Li Hao took advantage of his spare time to run to his courtyard. In addition to reciting poetry, he also gathered ink, brush, and rice paper and secluded himself in a side room to paint.

The courtyard was relatively quiet now, with those “brothers” off to the martial arts training ground, leaving only Li Hao and Li Hongzhuang, who was two years his junior, in the yard.

Two-year-old Li Hongzhuang, for some reason, was particularly attached to Li Hao. Even when Li Hao sneaked off to paint in secret, the little girl still found him. Explore more stories at m,v l’e-NovelBin.net

Watching this small girl, who in reality was his younger aunt, come running over, tenderly calling him “brother,” Li Hao felt a mix of helplessness and strangeness.

He had no idea how he had ended up playing with this little girl during the rapid time leaps, but she seemed quite affectionate towards him.

With no other choice, Li Hao found some snacks for her, so she would sit quietly beside him while he painted.

This familiar feeling made Li Hao think back to when he used to play chess and paint in that courtyard, with a little tail behind him.

But eventually, that little tail was gone.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, refocused his mind, and continued to sketch quickly on the paper.

With a bang.

Just as Li Hao was engrossed in his painting, watching his Painting Experience rise, the door to the side room was suddenly pushed open.

Li Tianzong’s tall figure walked in, and upon seeing Li Hao and Li Hongzhuang there, his gaze flickered and settled on Li Hao:

“What are you doing?”

An involuntary twinge of nervousness hit Li Hao’s heart, but having been caught in the act, he had no choice but to reluctantly reply, “Painting.”

Li Tianzong looked at the painting board for a moment, and his authoritative expression softened as he said:

“Paint if you want to paint, but why hide here? Your mother has been looking all over for you.”
