After a long while, the Dr Gongsun finally returned to the big cave where Zhou Hao and Zhou Hao were.

The ground of the karst cave was covered with big holes and the walls of the cave were also filled with cracks.

That hut had long since become a pile of scattered wood and straw. In short, it was a complete mess.

Under the dim yellow light, Zhou Hao lay unconscious on the ground with blood all over his body. Li Ruolan was leaning against a cave wall in the distance, hugging her knees while trembling and sobbing.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and blood could be faintly seen between her legs. Her originally snow-white skin was now covered in bruises, and her hair was in disarray. Her dull eyes were filled with heartbreaking pain.

Seeing Li Ruolan being ravaged like this, Dr Gongsun could not help but sigh.

He took out a piece of sackcloth from the collapsed hut to cover Li Ruolan's body. "Sorry to make you suffer."

Li Ruolan stared at Dr Gongsun hatefully, and scolded him with a hoarse voice while crying: "You demon, it's all your fault!"

When she thought about fighting Dr Gongsun, she didn't have the strength to stand up. Furthermore, other than that piece of sackcloth, there was nothing else on her that covered her face.

However, the gaze she used to look at Dr Gongsun was still filled with bone-deep hatred. It was because Zhou Hao had grown crazy from drinking his medicine, and the reason why she suffered such a misfortune was because of him.

Facing Li Ruolan's gnashing of teeth, Dr Gongsun only said a few bland words, "I admit that everything was caused by me."

Then, he turned around and went over to Zhou Hao's side. Zhou Hao's body was completely naked and was covered in blood stains, which had seeped out of his body.

Dr Gongsun's face was gloomy as he held onto Zhou Hao's wrist. When he felt Zhou Hao's pulse strength, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He carried Zhou Hao and walked towards the underground spring. Then, he put Zhou Hao into the spring and washed off the blood and dirt on his body.

Zhou Hao's body quickly recovered back to normal, but Dr Gongsun discovered that the lines on his body had become even more solid, every muscle seemed to contain an unimaginable power.

He had also grown a lot taller. He was originally only 1.6 meters tall, but now he was 1.8 meters taller.

In addition, his face looked even more mature. Although he was still unconscious, he still exuded a strong heroic aura.

"My previous guess was not wrong, you can indeed absorb the Amber fruit's power!"

The joy in Dr Gongsun's heart was hard to express. He used his hand to feel Zhou Hao's transformed body, as if he was admiring the crystallization of his own blood.

Zhou Hao's clothes had already been torn apart by him, so Dr Gongsun took out a set of his own clothes from the collapsed hut and gave it to Zhou Hao.

He then took out a box of silver needles and pierced it into all the major acupoints on Zhou Hao's body.

Not far away, Li Ruolan, who was curled up under the cave wall, watched the series of actions of the Dr Gongsun.

Although Zhou Hao had done such a thing to her, those things were not Zhou Hao's intentions. If they pushed all the blame onto Zhou Hao, it would also be very unfair to him.

"Zhou Hao, he … Are you alright? " she asked hoarsely.

Dr Gongsun shook his head, "He's very good. I don't think he's ever been as good as he is now."

After helping Zhou Hao with the acupuncture, Dr Gongsun returned to Li Ruolan's side and gave her a small medicine bottle, "This is a ointment that I made myself, it's very effective on external injuries.

Of course, Li Ruolan understood what the Dr Gongsun meant by "injury", he was embarrassed and angry at the same time, but the injury was extremely painful, and was extremely scorching.

Li Ruolan wanted to apply some medicine on that place, but she couldn't move fast enough right now, so she couldn't run into the dark. But she couldn't do all of this in front of the Dr Gongsun, so she could only clench her teeth and say: "You, go away."

The Dr Gongsun just laughed lightly, "Sorry, Zhou Hao can't move right now, I have to stay here and watch him, so I can't leave."

He went over to find a few pieces of wood and grass, and set up a simple screen in front of Li Ruolan, "This way, no one will see you."

This way, Li Ruolan could be considered a little more at ease.

Li Ruolan still had lingering fear in his heart, and it was unknown if he was born with a strange personality or was influenced by that strange medicine.

Carefully applying the ointment to his wounds, he felt a refreshing feeling rise from within, making him feel much better.

Looking at the bloodstain on her leg, Li Ruolan became dejected. The virginity that she had guarded for more than twenty years was gone just like that, and the one who seized it was even her own student.

She buried her head in her lap.

At the same time, Dr Gongsun slowly pulled out the silver needles that had pierced Zhou Hao's body, and then, he saw Zhou Hao's eyelids slowly open up.

Zhou Hao's memories were still inside when he drank the strange red liquid that came from the Dr Gongsun, and the feeling of burning desire appeared within his body.

He felt as if he had been dreaming for a very long time. In the dream, he was like an uncontrollable beast, violently wanting to destroy everything.

Moreover, there seemed to be a warm current in his body that wanted to vent out.

Opening his eyes, Zhou Hao saw Dr Gongsun, and remembered that he had forced himself to drink the red liquid.

Suddenly, he sat up, grabbed the Dr Gongsun's collar and shouted angrily: "What did you give me to drink! "Why did you poison me!"

Dr Gongsun did not resist, he only smiled and looked at Zhou Hao, "What are you so excited about?

Zhou Hao stared blankly. Only now did he realize that there were indeed no major injuries on his body, and that his body was brimming with energy.

He looked at his body in confusion, and felt that his body had undergone a great change.

He could not help but stand up, but saw that Dr Gongsun was much shorter than he was before, "Why have you become shorter?"

"It's you who's gotten taller." Dr Gongsun snappily replied.

"I've gotten taller?" Zhou Hao looked at his own feet, "But, how can it suddenly increase by so much?"

He immediately thought of the red medicine, and stared at Dr Gongsun, "You still haven't told me what medicine it is!"

"I don't have to hide it from you anymore." The Dr Gongsun said in a serious tone: "I made them with Amber fruit, and also made them with some other extremely rare precious medicines."

Zhou Hao frowned, "Amber fruit?"

Dr Gongsun nodded his head, "It is a very, very rare treasure, and its environment requirements are very strict. It must grow in an extremely cool place, and not be exposed to the sunlight.

The so-called earth energy was actually geothermal energy. "I walked all over China and finally found a Amber fruit in this cave!"

"Amber fruit form once every sixty years. They only bear fruit twice in their entire lives, and after that, they wither and die."

Dr Gongsun said: "Due to the long-term absorption of the essence of the Earth's energy, Amber fruit and even the Yang object, according to the ancient records, can stimulate the entire human body's internal potential.

However, because of its strong medicinal properties, not everyone would be able to absorb its power. Instead, everyone would be burned to death.

Thus, to most people, it is a deadly poison that can cause one's throat to be sealed with blood. "

"Damn, then why did you let me try?" Zhou Hao shouted in anger.

Dr Gongsun laughed bitterly, "Sixty years ago, on the first outcome of this Amber fruit.

At that time, my Inner Disciple Qi already had a large accomplishment, my physique was also much stronger than ordinary people, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear the effects of the Amber fruit, so I only used a small amount of Amber fruit to consume it.

But in the end, my body was still unable to take it. In order to preserve my life, I had no choice but to use my internal energy to force the Amber fruit's components into my legs. "

He shook his foot. "That's when I lost my legs."

Zhou Hao suddenly asked: "At that time, what was the approximate amount of Amber fruit you consumed?"

Dr Gongsun glanced at Zhou Hao, "What you consumed was the entire Amber fruit, and at that time, I only used about one thousandth of what you used."

Zhou Hao gasped. Dr Gongsun had only used one-thousandth of a breath to cripple his legs.

His life could still be saved after eating the entire Amber fruit. It could only be said that he had been blessed by the heavens.

Thinking that he was almost killed by the Dr Gongsun, Zhou Hao wanted to give him a beating.

When Dr Gongsun saw Zhou Hao's ferocious expression, he immediately took a few steps back and waved his hand: "Don't do anything rash. Your potential has already been activated by the Amber fruit, even I wouldn't be able to take a punch from you.

"Seeing Zhou Hao's unconvinced look, he hurriedly said:" If you don't believe it, then smack the ground with force yourself. "

Zhou Hao was skeptical, but still according to what he said, he punched the ground.

"Bam!"

A basin sized hole immediately appeared on the hard rocky ground, and cracks even appeared on the surrounding surface.

Zhou Hao was also shocked, he looked at his own fist in a daze, "No way, have I become superhuman?"

"Compared to the average person, you're indeed superhuman now."

The Dr Gongsun said: "Although the Amber fruit will take a person's life, once it successfully absorbs you, it will completely change your physique and you will also possess unimaginable strength."

Hearing Dr Gongsun's words, Zhou Hao could not help but be happy.

Although the risk was huge, it was a blessing in disguise in the end. Now, even the Dr Gongsun, this inner sect expert, was not his opponent, why would he need to be afraid of his bald brother?

"Actually, the reason why I saved you before wasn't because that girl agreed to stay behind to accompany me."

Dr Gongsun said: "At that time, your injuries were very severe. All of your internal organs had completely ruptured, and even deities would not be able to save you.

However, I found that your body's self-healing ability is unbelievably strong.

At that time, I thought that with a body like yours, you should be able to bear the effects of the Amber fruit's medicine, so I planned to let you consume this last Amber fruit. "
