"You want to buy Xuan Skills?"
Chief Steward Bai had been back at the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. On second thoughts, he asked, "How about you ask Madam Yan for it?"
"No need." Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Get me whatever good Xuan Skills you have. Just name your price. Do you have Heaven Grade Xuan Skill?"
"How is that possible?"
Chief Steward Bai shook his head and said, "You can go anywhere and you still cannot find a Heaven Grade Xuan Skill for sale. That is the heirloom of the families. Only core disciples of the family can learn it."
Lu Li was disappointed. He shook his hand and said, "Then get me some good Earth Grade Xuan Skills."
Chief Steward Bai ordered a maid to get some, and after a while, she came back with five booklets of Xuan Skills. Lu Li browsed through it and found two of them were of the offense category, one in the defense category, and two in the speed and body art category. It was quite a comprehensive collection.
However, after Lu Li read the two Xuan Skills in the offense category, he became even more disappointed. The Xuan Skill was not suitable for him at all, unless he gave up the custom-made halberd weapon.
The Xuan Skills in the defense category were of not much use. It would work better to wear a good armor. Lu Li looked at the two Xuan Skills in the speed category. One of them was a body art. Lu Li realized it was quite complex after he read it. The other one was used to increase one’s speed. When the Xuan Skill was completely mastered, a warrior’s speed could be doubled.
"Nothing better?"
Lu Li asked Chief Steward Bai who answered with a force smile, "No family will sell good Xuan Skills. Unless you go to the auction house and they happen to have a high rank Xuan Skill on sale. But usually, the price is very high."
"Okay then. I’ll have this one. What’s the price?"
Lu Li picked up the Xuan Skill for increasing speed. He didn’t pick the body art one. His fighting style was a brave and mighty one. For the time being, he didn’t need any flexible body art Xuan Skill.
"I will not lie to you." Chief Steward Bai said with a smile, "This one is a handwritten copy. Just give us 10,000 will suffice."
"Okay!"
Lu Li knew that his conversation with Madam Yan last night had led to the change in Chief Steward Bai’s attitude to him. Lu Li thought about it and said, "I also want to buy 10 Green Dwarfs. Can you deliver them to me? About the Xuan Crystals, you can just deduct from the ones we are going to get the next time we send you the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. We will send you a batch in a month’s time."
"No problem."
Chief Steward Bai nodded happily. This bummed Patriarch Lu out. Before, when Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven came here, they were not treated so nicely.
…
Lu Li got back to the Blood Dragon Island with Hunchback Tian and Patriarch Lu. Patriarch Lu told Patriarch Seven and others about what happened at the Heaven Prison Island. Patriarch Seven and all the others were shocked and they found it hard to believe.
Lu Li had become even more mysterious. Of course, Patriarch Seven and the others didn’t say anything to Lu Li. Lu Li was not the coffin carrier in the old days anymore. Even Ming Yu knelt to him. One trip to Bai Emperor Mountain by Lu Li and some casual conversation could change Bai Family’s attitude…
Lu Li didn’t explain much. He just said that they could grow the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots from now on and sell all of them to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. The 10 Green Dwarfs would be delivered after some time. The Liu Family could develop in peace now.
Lu Li also said that in a month’s time, he was going to be out for some time. He got 400,000 Xuan Crystals from selling the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots and spent 300,000 in ordering the Xuan Artifact. Lu Li left the rest of the Xuan Crystals to Patriarch Seven to expand the blood pond and buy Xuan Beasts. Enough blood should be stored before Lu Li left.
Lu Li also asked Liu Yi to prepare him some daily supplies for him to bring to the Tomb of the Dragon King. When he left the Blood Evil Fortress, Liu Yi stared at his masculine back and found him more and more a stranger to her.
Liu Yi sighed. She knew that she had completely missed the chance to become Lu Li’s woman. She didn’t grasp the opportunity before. Lu Li as he was right now was not a man she could get.
"If only I could let myself go that night…"
Liu Yi closed her eyes. She looked lonely. When Lu Li was down and out, she thought he didn’t deserve her. At this moment, it was hard for Lu Li to like her.
…
Everything with the Bai Family was settled, and the Liu Family started development in peace. Hunchback Tian had made the breakthrough to the Fate Wheel Realm and the 10 Green Dwarfs were delivered. The Liu Family was bustling about and concentrating on nurturing Blood Caterpillar Fruits, the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots.
The profits gained in growing these three kinds of Mystical Grasses were impressive. As long as the Liu Family could have a few years’ time, a large amount of Xuan Crystals could be earned. Many warriors could be trained using these Xuan Crystals, which could make the Liu Family stronger and finally gain a firm foothold at the Thousand-island Lake.
Lu Li continued his cultivation. Apart from perceiving the Earth Grade Xuan Skill "Spectral Step" he bought back, he had been spending the rest of his time trying to reach the next realm. He asked Patriarch Seven to find him some materials about Origin Blood Essence, but none was very useful.
How could he identify the Origin Blood Essence if even the Heaven Punishing Auction House couldn’t do it? The process of consuming Origin Blood Essence was not complicated per se, but Lu Li dared not to consume it rashly.
He had spent 20 million Xuan Crystals on a drip of Origin Blood Essence which put him in an awkward situation. He couldn’t decide whether he should consume it or not, as such, he had to leave it aside for now.
The cultivation of the Spectral Step was fast, and Lu Li had achieved modest success. However, the cultivation of his realm was progressing slowly. It would take him at least two month to reach the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The Liu Family were in full swing. Many Xuan Beasts were bought back and blood was drained. A new blood pond was built that could sustain for three months.
One month’s time passed on very quickly. The Liu Family harvested two batches of Blood Caterpillar Fruits and a batch of the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. All were sent to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. The price of Blood Caterpillar Fruits were restored to the original 25 Xuan Crystals per fruit, and the Liu Family seethed with joy.
Lu Li came out from his closed-door cultivation. He treated the blood in the big pond with his animal tooth pendant. Bringing Little White with him, he went to the Blood Evil Fortress.
Nothing was left to say. Hunchback Tian was told to guard the Blood Evil Island, and the rest of the matters fell to the hands of Patriarch Seven. Amidst the bitter looks of Liu Yi, Lu Li boarded the ship going to the God-down Island with Little White.
He unexpected ran into Xu Fangfei outside of the city who happened to be about to take the Teleportation Formation to the Heaven Prison City with two escorts.
Xu Fangfei kindly invited him to go with her and didn’t charge Lu Li for this teleportation. After they arrived at the Heaven Prison City, Xu Fangfei said with some smugness, "Island Owner Lu, I think you are here for business? I will not keep you accompany. I have some matters to do with Lady Shuang."
Lu Li wanted to go directly to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. He was somewhat surprised when he heard this, but he came to his senses after he observed for a bit. Xu Fangfei was younger than 20. So, it seemed she had come here to accompany Bai Xiashuang to go to the Tomb of the Dragon King.
Lu Li smiled without saying anything. He went first to the Xuan Artifact Cabinet for his weapon. The weapon was ready, completely in accordance with Lu Li’s demands. Time was pressing, so Lu Li just randomly tested it. He was very pleased with it.
After he left the Xuan Artifact Cabinet, Lu Li went to look for Chief Steward Bai at the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. Chief Steward Bai brought Lu Li to the Bai Emperor Mountain in person.
On the open ground at the food of the Bai Emperor Mountain, Xu Fangfei and a group of young masters and Ladies were standing there quietly. They were waiting for Bai Xiashuang to lead them to go. When they saw Lu Li arrive with Chief Steward Bai on a chariot, they were surprised.
After Lu Li went up the Bai Emperor Mountain in Teleportation Formation with Chief Steward, the surprise in Xu Fangfei’s face transformed to shock.
Not everyone could get to the Bai Emperor Mountain. For instance, even though this time they were accompanying Lady Shuang, they still had to wait down the mountain.
Lu Li was showed to the outdoor pavilion where he had the conversation with Madam Yan the other day. Before he came close, he could not keep his eyes away from what he saw.
Madam Yan was sitting there lazily, pretty as a flower. There were two ladies next to her of the same looks and in the same dresses.
The appearances of the two ladies were not less beautiful than Madam Yan’s, but they were of totally different temperaments. One of them cold as ice, and the other gentle as jade. The twin sisters and the Madam Yan almost really took Lu Li’s breaths.
