Sixty or seventy times. What kind of speed was that?
It should have taken Lu Li three years to reach the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm from the initial stage. After he took the Heaven Xuan Pellet, his speed was increased by more than 20 times. In the end, it only took him half a month to make the breakthrough.
If he had the Cyan Phoenix Pellet, he could have made the breakthrough in more than a dozen days at most.
The difference between cultivating with resources and those without was like heaven and earth.
No wonder Xu Yaoyang and Bai Xiashuang could cultivate so fast. No wonder Ye Xiaoxi could reach the Soul Pond Realm at such a young age. No wonder Lu Renhuang could reach the Human Sovereign Realm at such a young age.
No wonder so many forces wanted to develop and grow. No wonder there were Big Families fighting every day at the Northern Desert …
Resources were everything!
Without resources, Hunchback Tian, who was at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm, had to wander around like a dog, groveling. To become powerful, one needed endless resources. With resources, one could become more powerful …
Everything was complementary. Why was the world so chaotic? Everything had its causes and effects.
Build a powerful force, obtain more resources, and then expand the force to occupy a larger territory.
Only with endless resources could one become stronger and stand at the peak of the world.
This was the law of survival in the world!
Lu Li understood many things at the moment. He cherished the hard-won opportunity. He seized every second to improve his strength.
Only by making himself stronger could he survive in this chaotic world. Only then could he find Lu Ling and save his parents.
He had been in closed-door cultivation at the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Apart from going down the mountain to improve the blood pond, he had been staying at the Dragon Elephant Mountain for more than a dozen days.
On the 12th day after he came back from the Earth Dragon Island, Lu Li came out from closed-door cultivation. He had only cultivated for 12 days, but it was more than a month's cultivation before. His Xuan Energy was about to reach the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
He came out because Patriarch Seven and the others had come back. Liu Yi asked someone to ask Lu Li to go down the mountain.
When Lu Li arrived at the Blood Evil Fortress, he found the atmosphere was depressing. Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Lu looked gloomy.
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "What happened?
Is there something wrong with the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and the Netherworld Roots? "
"No."
Patriarch Seven sighed and said, "The two elixirs are of good quality. We sold them at a high price, one million Xuan Crystals.
But on our way back, we were attacked and our Xuan Crystals were robbed. Millions of Xuan Crystals … were taken! "
"Huh?"
Lu Li's expressions changed. He had some doubts. Could Patriarch Seven and the others come back after they were robbed?
Were they going to pocket the one million Xuan Crystals?
However, on second thought, Patriarch Seven didn't think it was necessary. After all, the two kinds of Mystical Herbs could be sold at a high price. In the future, the Blood Evil Island would be able to grow more and more Xuan Crystals. It would be meaningless to keep the one million Xuan Crystals to himself.
He asked coldly, "Who stole it?
Why were you so careless? "
"I don't know..."
Speaking of this, Elder Seven and Elder Lu were very depressed. Elder Lu continued, "We kept a low profile along the way. We didn't go directly to Shun Feng City. We took a few turns before we entered the city.
He was very careful during the auction. However, on his way back, he was surrounded by more than a dozen battleships not long after he entered the Thousand-island Lake.
They were all masked and there were three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. We didn't dare to make a move and had to hand over all our belongings. "
"That's not right!"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't you put the Xuan Crystals in the token of the Chamber of Commerce?
Aren't there any big chambers of commerce in Shunfeng City? "
"Yes!"
Patriarch Seven explained, "But that is a big chamber of commerce of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom. They don't have a branch at the Thousand-island Lake so we can't take out the Xuan Crystals. So, we had to put the Xuan Crystals in boxes and bring them back."
"This is strange."
Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Li and said, "The ones who came to rob us knew our information very well.
Brother Seven even said that he was Xu Chen's relative. But the robbers snorted at us as if they knew who we were.
Also, they didn't kill anyone this time. They just robbed us. They don't look like regular robbers. It is obvious that they are coming for us. "
"Really?"
Lu Li thought quickly. Two possibilities came to his mind — either the auction house of the Shunfeng City sold out the information of Patriarch Seven and the others and colluded with the bandits to kill them.
Or, someone was targeting the Blood Evil Island on purpose but didn't want to make a big scene.
Only the Killers Island, the Devil Island and the Black Fox Island had enmity with the Blood Evil Island. The other three islands didn't have such great power. They wouldn't dare to do anything rash. After all, it seemed that Lu Li and Ming Yu had a close relationship.
Targeting them on purpose?
Not afraid of Ming Yu's revenge?
A name was on the tip of his tongue, Bai Xiashuang!
If it was all Bai Xiashuang's doing, it would be easy to explain.
The Bai Family had the ability and they were not afraid of Ming Yu's revenge.
Furthermore … the Seventh Elder and the others were not dead. This meant that Bai Xiashuang was only taking revenge on him for what happened at Xu Chen's birthday banquet.
Lu Li was having a headache. Bai Xiashuang's status was high. If she wanted to target the Blood Evil Island, it would be too easy for her. She could just give an order and many forces would help her vent her anger and follow her orders.
Bai Xiashuang had sent people to intercept the million Xuan Crystals. Was it an indirect revenge and a warning to him?
The Blood Evil Island had something good to sell in the Heaven Frigid Kingdom instead of the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. Was the Bai Family unhappy?
So some senior members of the Bai family knew about this but pretended not to know and let Bai Xiashuang do whatever she wanted?
"Hu hu …"
Lu Li exhaled deeply. He felt it was difficult to move forward.
If Bai Xiashuang went on like this, the Blood Evil Island would be robbed as soon as they sold the Mystical Grasses that the Blood Evil Island had been working so hard to cultivate. By then, the Blood Evil Island wouldn't be able to survive. All of them might as well jump into the lake and commit suicide.
Of course!
All of this was Lu Li's speculation. There was no proof.
He frowned and said nothing. He was thinking of various ways to get out of this situation.
Patriarch Seven and the others were silent. They were frowning and distressed.
The two kinds of Mystical Grasses could not be sold at the Heaven Prison Island. If they were sold outside, they would be intercepted and killed.
The Mystical Grasses could not be traded for Xuan Crystals. If they were intercepted several times, the Blood Evil Island might not even be able to afford the seeds.
"Grow another batch of Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots!" After a while, Lu Li said, "When they are done, I will sell them in person."
The Seventh Elder glanced over and asked, "Where do you want to sell it?"
"The Heaven Prison Island!"
Lu Li got up and walked out after he said these three words.
He must resolve the dispute with Bai Xiashuang in person. He didn't believe that the Bai Family, the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake, would be so petty as to target a small Third-rank force on purpose.
Lu Li went back to cultivate. Apart from the time he came out to improve his blood, he had been staying at the Dragon Elephant Mountain.
When the batch of Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots were ripe, Liu Yi went to the Dragon Elephant Mountain in person to find Lu Li.
"Lu Li, you … have reached the latter stage of the Spirit Sea Realm?"
Liu Yi felt something was not right as soon as she saw Lu Li. She was even more surprised when Lu Li nodded with a smile.
According to Lu Li's cultivation progress, even if he cultivated day and night and took Heaven Xuan Pellets every day, it would take him at least three months. Now, he had made the breakthrough in less than a month and a half.
"I got an elixir from the underground lake under the Earth Dragon Island. My cultivation speed is faster."
Lu Li casually said. He brought Little White with him. After what happened last time, Lu Li decided to take Little White with him no matter what.
Patriarch Seven and the others were shocked when they got off the Blood Evil Fortress. Only Hunchback Tian was not surprised.
Ye Xiaoxi could cultivate to the Soul Pond Realm at the age of 11 or 12. The Cyan Phoenix Pellet must not be an average pellet.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li asked Hunchback Tian to go with him and Patriarch Lu. The three of them went to the God-down Island on a battleship and were ready to take the Teleportation Formation to the Heaven Prison Island.
