Lu Li did not know the consequences of offending Bai Xiashuang. He went into closed-door cultivation after he came back from the birthday banquet. He didn't care about anything and let Patriarch Seven and the others worry about it.
The Patriarchs of the Liu Family were in a constant state of anxiety, fearing that Bai Xiashuang's revenge would come.
Even though they knew that Bai Xiashuang would not go against the Blood Evil Island openly, which would damage the dignity of the Bai Family.
Nothing happened for more than 10 days in peace. After Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi brought a batch of Blood Caterpillar Fruits to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce, the Liu Family gradually felt relieved.
When Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi came back, Lu Li came out from closed-door cultivation. He asked Patriarch Seven to secretly buy the seeds of Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots and a batch of live Third-rank Xuan Beasts.
Patriarch Seven did not understand. When Lu Li said that he could earn a large amount of Xuan Crystals, he immediately went to the God-down Island.
The seeds of Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots were easy to buy, but Third-rank Xuan Beasts were more difficult. They had to entrust a chamber of commerce to order.
After Patriarch Seven came back, Lu Li asked him to secretly cultivate a small farm. The Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots could not be grown on a large scale. Without enough blood of high rank Xuan Beasts, they could only be grown on a small scale.
Therefore, it was easy to hide and grow. Usually, nobody was allowed to enter the Dragon Blood Mountain. Patriarch Seven asked someone to cultivate a small farm in a valley in the Dragon Elephant Mountain.
Several days later, four Third-rank Xuan Beasts were sent back. One of them cost seven or eight thousand Xuan Crystals, and all the precious Mystical Materials were taken away.
What Lu Li wanted was the blood. Nothing else mattered.
He began his grand plan to grow Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. He built a blood pond near the farm and kept the four Third-rank Xuan Beasts in captivity.
They would bleed every few days and were fed with a large amount of blood-producing herbs to prolong the lives of the Third-rank Xuan Beasts.
Twenty Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma were planted. Patriarch Seven had already learned how to grow them from books he bought.
During this time, Patriarch Seven stayed at the Dragon Elephant Mountain every day, guarding the precious herbs.
The seeds of the two herbs cost forty or fifty thousand Xuan Crystals, and the Third-rank Xuan Beasts cost more than twenty thousand Xuan Crystals. If the cultivation failed, the Liu Family would suffer a great loss.
If the cultivation was successful, the Liu Liu Family could earn a large amount of Xuan Crystals for the Xuan Family.
With Patriarch Seven keeping an eye on him, Lu Li was not worried. He continued to cultivate. After a while, he would throw the animal tooth pendant into the blood pond.
Every ten days, he would go to the Medicine Field and Blood Pool at the foot of the Dragon Elephant Mountain and spend the rest of the time cultivating.
The Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and the Nether Yin Root took a long time to grow. It took a full twenty days for them to mature.
During the few days of ripening, the Seventh Elder was completely immersed in a state of madness.
The Netherworld Roots were twice as thick. According to his experience of growing Blood Caterpillar Grass, the quality of these two elixirs was definitely much higher than ordinary ones …
After the herbs matured, the Seventh Elder picked them overnight, and he even did it himself.
Apart from Lu Li, only Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine knew about this.
Patriarch Seven understood the seriousness of this matter. Once it was leaked, it would bring endless troubles and disasters to the Liu Family.
Now that the fruits had been picked, how to appraise and sell them was a troublesome matter!
The Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce had changed their attitude toward the Liu Family recently. Plus, what happened to Bai Xiashuang worried Patriarch Seven.
Finally, after some discussion with Lu Li and Liu Yi, they decided to take the risk to bring it out of the Thousand-island Lake and sell it at the Shun Feng City in the south.
The Shun Feng City was a region city of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom. It was occupied by a Fifth-rank Family of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom. Because of its proximity to the Thousand-island Lake, the city was prosperous. Many forces of the Thousand-island Lake had business dealings with the city in secret.
The Yu Family's influence couldn't reach the Heaven Frigid Kingdom yet. If they came back immediately after selling the items, the Yu Family wouldn't notice.
This matter was so important that Patriarch Seven decided to go in person. Once he could sell it for a high price, the Liu Family would be rich.
Patriarch Seven arranged some affairs on the island and asked Patriarch Nine to take charge of the Blood Evil Island. Patriarch Seven left the Blood Evil Island with Patriarch Lu and two other Patriarchs on a battleship overnight.
After the departure of the four patriarchs, the Blood Evil Island was still peaceful.
With Hunchback Tian keeping watch, it would be difficult for anything to happen.
The Blood Caterpillar Grass continued to be planted, the cultivators continued to cultivate, and the patrolling continued.
Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation again. Hunchback Tian would be there to hold up the sky. Lu Li was at ease.
With a large number of Heaven Xuan Pellets to squander, Lu Li's cultivation speed was fast. If nothing went wrong, he could make it to the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm in several months.
After he reached the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, he still had to cultivate for a year before he could reach the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm. Only then could he try to make it to the Soul Pond Realm. Also, there must be a constant supply of Heaven Xuan Pellets.
The Heaven Xuan Pellets cost 80 Xuan Crystals each. Lu Li used to consume one pellet a day. Gradually, his body became resistant to the efficacy of the pellets.
Now, he needed three pellets a day to cultivate, which was 240 Xuan Crystals. Maybe in the future, he would need to consume five or eight Heaven Xuan Pellets a day …
240 Xuan Crystals a day would be more than 80,000 Xuan Crystals a year, based on his current progress.
As his realm improved and the efficacy of the pellets weakened, the demand for Heaven Xuan Pellets would increase. By then, he would need more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of Xuan Crystals just to cultivate for a year.
Lu Li now understood the importance of a family to a warrior. No wonder Hunchback Tian insisted on staying at the Blood Evil Island shamelessly.
Without the support of resources, it was too difficult for a warrior to become a powerful one. How did Ming Yu and the other four freaks cultivate?
"Swish!"
A figure flew up from the foot of the mountain and directly rushed into the castle at the peak of the mountain, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts.
Average people were not qualified to go up the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Liu Yi would not disturb him for no reason.
Lu Li got up and walked out. It was Liu Yi, and she looked serious. He asked, "What happened?"
"The Earth Dragon Island!"
Liu Yi took a few breaths and said, "Something strange happened at the Earth Dragon Island. The volcano there is erupting water. Two tribes have been flooded …"
"Erupting water?"
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. He thought he heard it wrong. Volcanoes only spewed out lava. When did he hear about volcanoes spewing water?
Also, the volcanoes at the Blood Evil Island and nearby islands hadn't erupted for hundreds of years. The Earth Dragon Island was close to the Blood Evil Island. Lu Li knew there was a volcano there that hadn't erupted for hundreds of years as well.
"It is erupting water!"
Liu Yi said with certainty, "I just went there to have a look myself. That small volcano is erupting water. So much water.
There are Xuan Beasts coming out. Just now, two Second-rank Xuan Beasts came out and they killed many people of the tribes. "
"Let's go!"
Lu Li could not sit still any longer. He picked up his Mighty Heaven Halberd and rushed towards the foot of the mountain with the Green Dwarfs that were guarding the castle.
Erupting water was not a big deal. They just had to build ditches to divert the water into the lake.
But erupting Xuan Beasts was not a small matter. On the off chance that one or two Third-rank or Fourth-rank Xuan Beasts came out, the Blood Evil Island and nearby islands would be wiped out.
After Lu Li rushed to the Blood Evil Fortress, he called up Hunchback Tian at once and rushed towards the Earth Dragon Island with several Green Dwarfs.
As soon as the battleship arrived at the dock of the Earth Dragon Island, Lu Li heard cries coming from the island. There were people rushing towards the dock.
