After Xu Yaoyang and Xu Fangfei left, Lu Li went back to the Dragon Elephant Mountain to cultivate. Two days later, messengers from the Killers Island, the Devil Island and the Black Fox Island came again to see Lu Li.
Lu Li was nowhere to be seen. The man left behind about 200,000 Xuan Crystals and left.
The Seventh Elder vaguely expressed that the previous incident would be written off and they would coexist peacefully in the future.
The Liu Family's herbal field was cleared and they started to plant Blood Caterpillar Grass on a large scale. They planted ten thousand stalks at once and bought over a thousand Blood Rhinoceroses.
The blood pond was large and could be used for 10 days at a time. Lu Li only needed to go down the mountain once every 10 days.
After 10 days, the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce delivered 10 Green Dwarfs. This time, the Blood Evil Island was completely safe.
During this time, more and more people came to the Blood Evil Island to seek shelter.
Even though there were not many of them and none of them had a high plane, the Liu Family was very happy. What the Liu Family lacked the most right now was people.
Even though there might be spies from other forces in this group of people, the Liu Family didn't care. They would use them first.
However, these newcomers did not have the qualifications to approach the medicinal field.
They could only be in charge of some chores, such as patrolling outside the island and running errands.
Thirteen days later, the first batch of Blood Caterpillar Fruits were ripe. There were six thousand of them, which would be worth more than 100,000 Xuan Crystals according to the original price.
The Seventh Patriarch and Liu Yi personally went to the Heaven Prison Island, but they came back dejectedly.
The Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce had lowered the price. Twenty Xuan Crystals for one Blood Caterpillar Fruit was fifty thousand Xuan Crystals less.
Chief Steward Bai's explanation was that the Liu Family had too many Blood Caterpillar Fruits and the market was limited.
The Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce did not do business with forces outside the Thousand-island Lake so they could not sell it.
Chief Steward Bai had also limited the number of Blood Caterpillar Fruits that Liu Yi could bring in at most ten thousand Blood Caterpillar Fruits a month. The Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce would not be able to swallow any more.
However, he promised that this was the lowest price. If the price was lowered again, the Liu Family could sell the Blood Caterpillar Fruits to other Chambers of Commerce, and the previous agreement would be canceled.
"Is it really because of Ming Yu?"
Why did the Bai family's attitude towards them change so much?
Lu Li couldn't figure it out.
However, the Liu Family could make a lot of money if they could sell it for 20 Xuan Crystals each. After a few years of operation, the Liu Family's wealth would be terrifying.
Everything was going well. The Liu Family provided Lu Li with endless Heaven Xuan Pellets. He didn't have to worry about cultivation resources.
If everything went well, it would take him five or six months to reach the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Lu Li's cultivation speed might be fast, but that was based on the endless amount of Heaven Xuan Pellets. How could an average person enjoy such treatment?
Even Liu Yi did not have this kind of treatment when she was in the Wu Ling County. Back then, the Liu Family was a prosperous family with too many warriors of the Internal Clan, the External Clan and the Guest Clan.
Other than the child who had awakened the "Flame" bloodline, no one else had the right to use all kinds of resources without restrictions.
Lu Li's cultivation speed was actually fast, at least twice as fast as average warriors.
Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven all noticed this, but they thought it was because of Lu Li's talent. Lu Li had always been a man of few words, so it was inappropriate for them to ask.
Lu Li didn't know how fast the others were cultivating so he didn't think about it.
Now, he was focused on cultivation. He wanted to reach the Eternal Realm as soon as possible and then find a way to teleport to the Lu Family and find Lu Ling at the Cyan Plains.
The Blood Evil Island was stabilized. They were not in need of Xuan Crystals anymore. Patriarchs of the Liu Family all received endless resources.
Patriarchs at the initial stage and middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm began to cultivate desperately to reach the latter stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine, on the other hand, were ready to try to reach the Soul Pond Realm.
There were also many native martial artists who were given many pills to help them increase their combat strength.
The Liu Family formed six armies of 3000 warriors, among which there were about 400 or 500 warriors of the Xuan Wu Realm.
The Liu Family wanted to use the endless resources to push these warriors to the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm and then help dozens of others to reach the Spirit Sea Realm. In this way, the strength of the Liu Family could be greatly enhanced.
Eight days later, the peaceful Blood Evil Island was stirred up again. A man came to the island, a warrior who came to seek shelter at the Liu Family.
The reason for the stir was that this man was at the Soul Pond Realm, the peak of it!
Because of Ming Yu's fame, there were warriors coming to the Blood Evil Island to seek shelter. But it was a warrior at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm, which was strange.
Everyone in the Liu Family was nervous. If this old man acted recklessly, he could level the entire Blood Evil Island by himself.
When Liu Yi saw this man, she immediately sent someone to inform Lu Li. Lu Li hurried down the Dragon Elephant Mountain with a Green Dwarf and arrived at the Blood Evil Fortress. He met the powerful warrior who came to seek shelter.
This was an old man who was about to die. His back was hunched like a camel, and his hair was white like snow. His brows were also white, and they were also quite long, hanging down to his cheeks. His withered tree bark-like old face was full of arrogance and haughtiness.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
At this moment, the old man was sitting behind a golden table. He slapped the golden table loudly. He squinted at Patriarch Seven and the others and said, "Where is the Island Owner?
Where is your Island Owner?
I, the hunchback, have come all the way here. Is this how you treat me?
I have been sitting here for half a day, and the Island Owner doesn't even show up without a word. What kind of hospitality is this?
One word. Will you give me the position of the Chief Patriarch of the Blood Evil Island? If not, I will leave. "
Lu Li didn't go in rashly. He winked at Liu Yi who was inside.
Liu Yi walked out quietly. Lu Li asked, "What is it?
Have you got all the information about this man? "
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Patriarch Lu has. This man is called Hunchback Tian. He is famous at the Thousand-island Lake. He reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm 100 years ago.
He really came here with sincerity. But … we cannot accept this man. "
"Oh?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Why not?"
"We cannot afford it …"
Liu Yi sighed and said, "Hunchback Tian reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm 100 years ago. Over the past 100 years, he has joined more than 40 forces. In the end, all of them sent him away.
This man is a lunatic. He tries to reach the Fate Wheel Realm once a year. He has tried more than 80 times, but he failed every time without exception … "
"More than 80 times?"
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. He seemed to understand what Liu Yi meant.
Patriarch Cai of the Liu Family once told him that the wealth of the Liu Family was only enough for them to try to reach the Fate Wheel Realm for three times. Based on Lu Li's estimation of the wealth of the Liu Family, one attempt to reach the Fate Wheel Realm would cost at least three million Xuan Crystals!
Hunchback Tian would try to reach the Fate Wheel Realm once a year, so they had to prepare three million Xuan Crystals for him. Not even a Third-rank Family could afford it.
Fourth-rank Family?
They were not short of warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. What was the use of Hunchback Tian?
"You have tried for 100 years and you still failed?
You still want to do it? "
Lu Li was speechless. Talent was very important on the path of Wu Dao. Now that Hunchback Tian had tried more than 80 times and failed, then he would never be able to reach the Fate Wheel Realm in this lifetime. Hunchback Tian was really a Wu Dao addict.
Lu Li felt relieved when he thought that as long as he could successfully make the Fate Wheel, he would have another 500 years of life. Hunchback Tian wouldn't have to die.
Nobody wanted to die. Everybody wanted to have a try. Once they made the Fate Wheel, a new world would open up.
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "How many Xuan Crystals can our family make in a year?"
Liu Yi thought about it and said, "If nothing goes wrong, we can make more than two million Xuan Crystals a year. But we are spending a lot now. It will be good if we can have a surplus of nearly one million Xuan Crystals a year."
Lu Li sighed and said, "We really cannot afford it …"
