Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Coming to the Door
Shi Hao had not used Dark Force.
It was Soul Force that had become substantial, which had lifted the stone.
Yet even such a small piece still made Shi Hao feel strained.
The soul itself is insubstantial, so, let alone lifting a small stone, even lifting a piece of paper would be astonishing.
“As long as my soul continues to grow, this will continue to strengthen,” he thought.
“It seems, now it’s impossible to use it in combat,” he concluded.
Shi Hao felt somewhat regretful, he had guessed long ago that Soul Force could become substantial, but its strength was too weak to be of any use in combat.
What, would he use such a small stone to hit someone?
“Can’t other uses be developed?”
Shi Hao always felt that developing such an ability was not ordinary, for he had never heard of anyone who could do such a thing, it surely couldn’t just be a useless trick for performing telekinesis, right?
Eh, telekinesis?
An idea struck Shi Hao, what about using it for stealing?
It might be worth trying to develop.
Shi Hao stood up and returned to the sect.
As he walked through, he noticed many people actually coming forward to greet him, very enthusiastically.
What’s going on?
Did everyone know he had become a three-star Pill Master?
Strange, hadn’t he asked Kong Xianglong to keep it a secret for him?
With confusion, Shi Hao returned to his place.
“You must leave quickly!” Cao Feian had been waiting for him, and as soon as he returned, she immediately said, “The Second Elder and the others came back a few days ago and learned that you received an ancient strong practitioner’s legacy, and they are looking for you everywhere.”
Shi Hao suddenly realized, that’s why everyone was so enthusiastic when he returned, they thought that by ingratiating themselves with him, he would share the legacy with them?
But speaking of this made him quite angry.
Had he really received some kind of legacy, it would be one thing, but the key point was that he only got a small Ganoderma slice and now he was carrying such a huge burden.
Was that pig unable to be reliable at all?
Shi Hao sighed, yet said with a smile, “Given the identity of the Second Elder, he surely wouldn’t bother to make things difficult for me, such a small figure, would he?”
Cao Feiyan shook her head, “The Second Elder indeed values his own status and wouldn’t personally move against you, but do you know how many disciples he has? There are over ten masters from the Other Shore alone!”
You may be able to dominate Soul Nurturing, but how could you possibly stand up against those from the Other Shore Realm?
They could casually pick out anyone to suppress you.
“What puts you at the greatest disadvantage,” Cao Feiyan continued, “is that you are not a disciple of the sect!”
“Followers, in a strict sense, are just private relations of Core Disciples and True Disciples, and have nothing to do with the sect.”
“So, even if the Second Elder’s disciples openly cause trouble for you, it would be difficult for you to appeal to the sect.”
Normally, to beat a dog one looks at its master, but Cao Feiyan herself is just a Core Disciple and doesn’t measure up to True Disciples, let alone opposing a big leg like the Second Elder.
Shi Hao nodded, and then became unresponsive.
“You need to get going now!” Cao Feiyen urged, having analyzed so much for you, why are you still dazed?
Just as Shi Hao was about to speak, he showed a listening expression, then smiled and shook his head, “It’s too late.”
“Shh—” Cao Feiyan hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly there was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open.
A person appeared at the doorway, Lu Yun.
His face was frosty, the first time he thought he had incapacitated Shi Hao, but ended up being tricked, the second time he wanted to make a move, but was frightened off by Su Manman. But this time, with several elders coming along, he was naturally fearless.
Because the constraints on Shi Hao were too great, he was forced to jump out and rush to the front line.
He looked at Shi Hao coldly and said, “The elders have personally arrived, aren’t you going to come out and kneel in welcome!”
Cao Feiyan was suddenly startled in her heart, so it wasn’t just the Second Elder who had come?
It seemed that she had underestimated the allure of this inheritance.
As a disciple of the sect, of course, she could not oppose the elders, so she nodded to Shi Hao and walked towards the door.
Indeed, outside the door stood seven elders with white hair, and behind them were many people of varying ages: some were very old, while others seemed quite young, only in their twenties at most.
“Shi Hao, hand over the inheritance you have received; you are just a minor Soul Nurturing realm cultivator, monopolizing such an inheritance will only harm you,” said an elder, who was Hu Shuixiong, the Ninth Elder.
Shi Hao smiled faintly: “Am I obligated to do that?”
“Young man, since you are a follower of a disciple of our sect, you can be reluctantly considered as a disciple of our sect,” the Second Elder Luo Haodian spoke up, “If you contribute to the sect, the sect will not treat you unfairly. How about this, I will take you as my disciple, what do you say?”
This made the other elders dissatisfied; oh, so you take this young man as your disciple and think to monopolize the inheritance?
Luo Haodian then smiled at the elders: “My colleagues, please be patient, I definitely won’t hog it all for myself.”
The elders looked at each other and nodded.
But, when Shi Hao handed over the inheritance, they were determined to be there. Otherwise, if Luo Haodian only took out part of the inheritance in the end, how would they know?
They weren’t fools!
For now, the unified front is to get Shi Hao to hand over the inheritance first.
Shi Hao’s eyes swept across them, and he smiled lightly: “To have me hand over the inheritance isn’t impossible; I only need you to agree to one condition.”
Luo Haodian frowned, showing a look of dissatisfaction.
You, a mere follower, regardless of how high your talent in martial arts is, had the audacity to bargain with him, an elder and a formidable Self-Observation expert. This was outright disrespect to him.

But considering the value of the inheritance, he suppressed his anger.
“What condition?” he asked.
“I want to fight him,” Shi Hao pointed at Lu Yun, “If he wins, I’ll hand over that so-called ‘inheritance’.”
Just like that?
The elders exchanged glances, all catching on.
After all, he’s a young man, proud and unwilling to hand over the inheritance directly, thus needing to fight a battle to prove that the act was one of reluctance.
Simply by thinking with their knees, they knew, how could Shi Hao possibly win?
Well, this boy was still quite reasonable.
“Fine,” Luo Haodian nodded, immediately agreeing to it.
This couldn’t really be considered a condition, it was merely a way of saving face.
Lu Yun, however, felt a deep malice.
With his strength, he could easily knock out Shi Hao, but now he definitely couldn’t kill or seriously injure Shi Hao.
Thus, Shi Hao must be trying to disgust him.
Even if under the intense pressure of the elders, forced to hand over the inheritance, he wanted to make him uncomfortable.
He sneered. If he couldn’t kill him this time, then he would wait for the next. As long as Shi Hao hadn’t reached the Other Shore, he had countless opportunities to eliminate this rival.
“Let’s set up a life-and-death agreement,” Shi Hao said with a smile, “During the fight, no one is allowed to interfere; life and death are up to fate!”
It was all just a process, but why so many demands?
The elders all showed displeasure.
