"You want to buy a mystical skill?"
Steward Bai returned to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce. He thought for a while and said, "Why don't you talk to Madam about it?"
"No need."
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "If you have any good Xuan Skills, just name your price. Do you have any Heaven Grade Xuan Skills?"
"How is this possible?"
Chief Steward Bai shook his head and said, "No matter where you go, you won't be able to buy a Heaven Rank Mystic Skill. That is the clan's Mystic Skill, it's impossible for anyone who isn't a core disciple to learn it."
Lu Li was disappointed. He waved his hand and said, "Then get me some good Xuan Skills of the Earth Grade."
Chief Steward Bai instructed a servant girl, and a moment later, five mystical skill books were sent over.
Lu Li flipped through the books and found that two of them were for attacking, one was for defending, and the other two were for speed and body skills.
However, after Lu Li read through the two Xuan Skills for attacking, he was even more disappointed. The Xuan Skills were not suitable for him at all, unless he didn't need to customize the halberd weapon.
Defensive mystical skills were not very useful, so it was better to wear a better battle armor.
Lu Li turned his attention to the two Xuan Skills related to speed. One of them was about body movement, which Lu Li found to be abstruse and complicated. The other one was about increasing one's speed. When cultivated to the great success level, one's speed could be doubled.
"Don't you have anything better?"
Lu Li looked at Chief Steward Bai after he finished reading. The latter forced a smile and said, "No Family will sell good Xuan Skills, unless you go to an auction house and there happens to be some high level Xuan Skills on sale. But usually, they will fetch a sky-high price."
"Alright, I'll take this one. Name a price."
Lu Li picked up the Xuan Skill to increase his speed. He didn't want the Body Movement Skill. His fighting ability was to be brave and domineering, so he didn't need the agile Body Movement Skill for now.
"I'm not going to lie to you," Chief Steward Bai said with a smile, "This is a handwritten copy. Just give me 10,000 Xuan Crystals."
"Alright!"
Lu Li knew that Chief Steward Bai's attitude towards him had changed after his conversation with Madam Yan last night. Lu Li thought about it and said, "I want to buy 10 more Green Dwarfs. Can you deliver them for me later?
As for Mystic Crystals, you can directly deduct them the next time we send you the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. You can send us a batch every month. "
"No problem."
Chief Steward Bai nodded readily, which made Elder Lu so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Liu Yi and Elder Seven did not receive such treatment the last few times they came.
…
Lu Li brought his men back to the Blood Dragon Island. Patriarch Lu told Patriarch Seven about what happened at the Heaven Prison Island. Patriarch Seven and the others were dumbfounded as if it were a fantasy story.
Lu Li was becoming more and more mysterious. Of course, Patriarch Seven and the others dared not to say anything about Lu Li.
Lu Li was no longer the Coffin Carrier he used to be. Even Ming Yu knelt to him. As soon as Lu Li went to the Heaven Prison City, he could go to the Bai Emperor Mountain directly and change the Bai Family's attitude with just a few words.
Lu Li didn't explain too much. He just told them that they could continue to grow Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots and sell them all to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce.
The ten Green Dwarfs would be shipped back after a while, so that the Liu family could develop in peace.
Lu Li also said that he would be going out in a month and that it might take some time.
Auctioning off the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots earned them more than 400,000 Xuan Crystals. Customizing a Xuan Artifact cost him 300,000 Xuan Crystals. Lu Li gave the remaining Xuan Crystals to Patriarch Seven to expand the blood pond and buy more Xuan Beasts so that he could store enough blood before he left.
Lu Li asked Liu Yi to prepare some common items for the trip to the Tomb of Dragon King.
When he was setting up the Blood Evil Fortress, Liu Yi looked at his sword-like back and found him more and more unfamiliar.
She sighed. She understood that she had completely lost the chance to be Lu Li's woman.
She didn't seize the chance in the past. The Lu Li now was not someone she could reach.
"If that night, I could let go of my modesty and dignity …"
Liu Yi closed her eyes. A trace of loneliness appeared on her face. She didn't like Lu Li when he was down and out. Now, it would be hard for Lu Li to like her.
…
The Liu Family started to develop in peace after the talk with the Bai Family was settled. Hunchback Tian reached the Fate Wheel Realm and the 10 Green Dwarfs were sent over.
The Liu Family got busy. They started to concentrate on growing the Blood Caterpillar Grass, Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots.
The profits from growing the three mystical grasses were considerable. In a few years, the Liu Family could get a large amount of Xuan Crystals. They could use the Xuan Crystals to train more warriors and make the Liu Family stronger. Finally, they could gain a firm foothold at the Thousand-island Lake.
Lu Li continued to cultivate. Apart from learning the Earth Grade Body Skill "Netherworld Step" that he bought, he spent the rest of his time trying to reach the Realm.
He asked Patriarch Seven and others to search for some information about the Origin Blood Essence. Unfortunately, it was of little use.
Not even the Heaven Punishing Auction House could identify the Origin Blood Essence. How could Lu Li have a way?
It was not complicated to consume the Origin Blood Essence. The problem was that Lu Li didn't dare to consume it rashly.
He bought one drop of Origin Blood Essence with 20 million Xuan Crystals, but now, the price was neither too high nor too low.
It was not good to consume it or not to consume it. Lu Li had to put it aside.
The Netherworld Step, on the other hand, was being cultivated quickly. There was already some results.
But the progress of the Realm was slow. Perhaps he could not reach the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm in less than two months.
The Liu Family was in full swing. A large number of Xuan Beasts were bought and their blood was drained. A new blood pond was built which could last for three months.
One month passed by quickly. The Liu Family had grown two batches of Blood Caterpillar Fruits and one batch of Fire Fairy Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots. They were all sent to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce.
The price of the Blood Caterpillar Fruits went back to the original 25 Xuan Crystals each. Everyone in the Liu Family was overjoyed.
Lu Li came out from closed-door cultivation. He used the animal tooth pendant to improve the blood in the huge blood pond and brought Little White to the Blood Evil Fortress.
He didn't have much to say. He just asked Hunchback Tian to protect the Blood Evil Island and Patriarch Seven and the others would take care of the rest.
Lu Li took a boat to the God-down City with Little White in the eyes of Liu Yi with hidden bitterness.
He accidentally met Xu Fangfei in the city, and she was about to take the teleportation formation to the Heaven Prison City with two guards.
Xu Fangfei politely invited Lu Li to come along and even waived his teleportation fee.
After arriving at the Heaven Prison City, Xu Fangfei said with a complacent smile, "Island Owner Lu, you came to the Heaven Prison City for something, right?
I won't keep you company, Fangfei still has to follow Miss Shuang to do something. "
Lu Li wanted to go directly to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce, but he was surprised to hear this. He came to his senses after a few glances.
Xu Fangfei was not more than 20 years old. It seemed that she was going to the Tomb of Dragon King with Bai Xiashuang.
He smiled and did not say anything. He went to the Mystic Weapon Chamber to retrieve his weapon.
The weapon was forged according to Lu Li's requirements. Time was of the essence, so Lu Li tried it casually and was very satisfied.
Lu Li went to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce to find Chief Steward Bai after he left. Chief Steward Bai brought Lu Li to the Bai Emperor Mountain in person.
On the open ground at the foot of the Bai Emperor Mountain, Xu Fangfei and a group of young masters and young ladies stood there in silence, waiting for Bai Xiashuang to lead the team.
They were surprised to see Lu Li and Chief Steward Bai come on a chariot.
When Lu Li and Chief Steward Bai took the Teleportation Formation to the Bai Emperor Mountain, Xu Fangfei's surprise turned into shock.
The Bai Emperor Mountain was not a place that anyone could go. For example, they had to wait down here when they went out with Miss Shuang.
Lu Li was brought to the outdoor pavilion where he met Madam Yan the other day by Chief Steward Bai. Before Lu Li got close, he was already stunned.
Madam Yan sat there lazily, still as beautiful as a flower.
There were two other ladies next to her. Their appearances were exactly the same, and they were wearing the same dresses.
