Lu Li did not want to make it public. He had a discussion with Patriarch Gu. Patriarch Gu decided to accept Qian Huanhan as his protégé publicly but Lu Li would remain as a registered protégé.
There were many advantages to this arrangement. First of all, Lu Li would not attract too much attention.
People would focus on Qian Huanhan, which would make it easier for Lu Li to do whatever he wanted.
Otherwise, Palace of Evil Spirit would notice Lu Li and he would be followed wherever he went. He would have no chance to get close to Chou Qianjun, let alone find a chance to kill Chou Qianjun.
Second, Patriarch Gu would teach Lu Li about forging artifacts. Lu Li had the collection of books from Tian Lingzi. Unless Lu Li was an idiot, he would be much better at forging artifacts.
Forging artifacts would consume a lot of materials, right?
Lu Li would have to hand in the Relics he made.
He could not hide them all the time.
That would arouse the suspicion of the Chamber of Relics. Therefore, someone had to cover for Lu Li, and that person was Qian Huanhan.
Now that Qian Huanhan was Patriarch Gu's protégé, it would be more convenient for Lu Li.
Of course, Lu Li wanted to help Qian Huanhan as well. As a protégé, Patriarch Gu would teach Qian Huanhan how to forge artifacts, which was a good thing for Qian Huanhan.
Lu Li had too many enemies, including God of Wings, Yan Tiangang, Cabinet of Cloud, and Lady Dan, Long Yunhai. Therefore, Lu Li must keep a low profile and let the world forget about him.
He had to study forging artifacts and improve his abilities. When he was strong enough, nobody would be able to do anything to him.
After Patriarch Gu accepted Lu Li as his protégé, he became friendlier to Lu Li. He thought about it and said, "You already have a supreme Relic armor. I will not give you another one. What kind of weapons are you used to?"
"Ah?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then, he said in embarrassment, "Master, I don't think that is necessary. I have a weapon …"
"You are a man. Why are you being so hesitant?"
Elder Gu's face darkened. "I don't have anything else, but do I lack god artifacts?
I am an expert craftsman.
This is my gift to you. Tell me, what kind of weapon do you like to use? "
Lu Li said, "Saber, the best saber!"
"Yes!"
Elder Gu's ring lit up and a domineering silver long saber appeared in his hand. The saber was one zhang long and narrow, growing in size from the hilt to the tip. Beautiful patterns could be seen on the surface of the saber and tens of divine dragons could be vaguely seen swimming within. Without even testing it, one could tell that this saber was extraordinary.
Elder Gu caressed the saber fondly and said, "This is a supreme divine artifact that I refined three thousand years ago. It's called Demon Slayer, and it's my masterpiece. I've never been willing to sell it, but I'll give it to you today.
This saber could increase one's battle prowess by fifty percent, and there was a glass dragon sealed within it that could release cold air. When attacking an enemy, the cold air would seep in and freeze the enemy.
Even if you can't freeze them, the enemy's speed will be greatly reduced. Today, I will bestow it to you. I hope you won't disgrace it. "
Lu Li took over the saber solemnly. Then he bowed and said with determination, "Master, don't worry. I will not bring disgrace to the Demon Slayer. In the future, I will use it to cut off Chou Qianjun's head and avenge my brothers."
"Alright!
Good, good! "
Patriarch Gu smiled. There were tears in his eyes as if he could see the day when Lu Li killed Chou Qianjun.
A moment later, Patriarch Gu took out five oval balls and gave them to Lu Li. "This is a unique artifact that I made, Lightning Trigger.
These five are for you to protect yourself. Lightning Trigger is very powerful. Even super mighty warriors in the Divinity will be blasted to death if they don't dodge.
So, unless absolutely necessary, you must not use it, let alone on disciples of the Chamber of Relics! "
Lu Li took it over and nodded. Patriarch Gu remembered the test and said, "Just now, I asked you to kill Ruodan to test you. Ruodan is the Chief's granddaughter and she is a rare talent in forging artifacts in the Chamber of Relics.
As a matter of fact, she is not a bad person. She is just a spoiled child. You must tolerate her.
Chief has done me a great favor. You must not get into conflict with Ruodan and you must not lay a finger on her. Do you understand? "
"Chief's granddaughter!"
Lu Li understood now. No wonder Lady Dan was so bossy. Not only was she the Chief's granddaughter, but she was also a genius in forging artifacts.
Everyone in the Chamber of Relics treated her as a treasure. Naturally, she would be spoiled and become arrogant.
Lu Li remembered Long Yunhai and asked, "Master, what is the background of Brother Yunhai and Brother Yunshan?"
"That is the grandson of Long Xuesha, the patriarch of the Chamber of Relics. Patriarch Long is the most powerful warrior in the Chamber of Relics and a master craftsman.
He ranks over three hundred on the list. He is likely to become a supreme warrior in the Divinity. "
Patriarch Gu explained and then asked, "Do you have any conflicts with them?
If there is, I'll help you pass on a message and ask them not to cause you trouble. "
"You don't have to go out of your way to do that."
Lu Li shook his head. "Master, from now on, just treat me as a registered disciple. Otherwise, I will attract the attention of some people in the Chamber of Relics. It will be troublesome if the news gets out."
"Yes, yes!"
Patriarch Gu thought about it and said, "How about this. Later, I will organize an apprenticeship ceremony and invite some patriarchs over to take that fool, Qianhuan, as a private student.
In the future, with him as your shield, nobody will trouble you. "
"Master, you are so wise!"
Lu Li let out a sigh of relief. Patriarch Gu was finally enlightened.
Lu Li's original intention was to put Qian Huanhan on the pedestal. With Qian Huanhan's protection, nobody would trouble Lu Li.
Lu Li could cultivate and forge artifacts in a low-key manner and take his time.
"Time is of the essence. I will go and talk to Qian Huanhan now."
Patriarch Gu was a resolute man. He took out some books and handed them to Lu Li. "These are some of my understanding of forging artifacts over the years. Take a good look at them. Later, I will give you detailed instructions on how to forge artifacts.
Also, I cannot help you much with cultivation. I have been cultivating for so many years and I am only a mighty warrior in the Divinity. I do not have much talent in cultivation.
But I can tell you one thing — forging artifacts and cultivation are interconnected. Almost all the craftsmen in the Chamber of Relics and Craftsmen's Sect can become mighty warriors in the Divinity! "
"I understand, Master!"
Lu Li nodded. As a matter of fact, he had noticed this a long time ago. Inhibition Formations and Inhibition Formations were helpful to cultivation. Patriarch Gu's words had proved this point.
Patriarch Gu nodded and teleported Lu Li out. When Lu Li returned to his room, Patriarch Gu told Qian Huanhan to come over.
Qian Huanhan walked to the backyard, trembling. This time, he had learned his lesson. He did not look around. He bowed to Patriarch Gu and said, "Patriarch, did you ask for me?"
Patriarch Gu did not look up. After the time for half an incense stick to burn, he asked, "Qian Huanhan, have you been secretly learning how to forge artifacts?"
Qian Huanhan was taken aback. He stammered, "Patriarch, I, I did not. No … I just … I …"
Patriarch Gu pulled a long face. He slapped Qian Huanhan and said angrily, "In three days, I will gather all the patriarchs and accept you as my protégé.
Be prepared. If something goes wrong, I will slap you to death. Do you understand? "
"What?"
Qian Huanhan blinked in confusion. He thought he had heard it wrong.
It took him a while to come back to his senses. His eyes were filled with fear. He said, trembling, "Patriarch, don't do this … what did I do wrong? Tell me and I will change!
I am … scared! "
"Bang!"
