"You will be a servant of the Shangqing Palace and help us unify the Divinity!"
These words enraged Lu Li. What was a servant?
That was a servant, a slave.
Help them unify the Divinity?
Become a dog of the Shangqing Palace?
This Goddess really thought too highly of herself and thought too highly of herself.
Did she think that just because she was from the Shangqing Palace, many people would kneel in front of her and beg to be taken in as a servant or a slave?
Lu Li appeared to be easy-going but he was a proud man.
He could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. It would be better to kill him than to force him to do so.
If it were not for the fact that he was so weak and for the sake of Ling Qingyan and Pan Yuqin, he would not be so nice today.
As for the threat from the Hall of Black Flame?
Lu Li didn't think too much about it. There would always be a way out. When the demons invaded, Lu Li had been in danger. He survived without the help of the Shangqing Palace.
So what if there was a Second Tribulation Heaven God?
Didn't Great Emperor Youxing also have the battle prowess of a Second Tribulation Heavenly Tribulation?
Lu Li could fight back before he took the pellet.
As long as he could recover quickly, he would not be afraid of the Second Tribulation Heaven God.
A Level Two major force couldn't possibly send a Three Tribulation Heavenly God down to the Lower Realm, right?
Lu Li didn't know much about the Second Tribulation Heaven God and he didn't have the time to do so. He struggled to sit with his legs crossed. While recovering, he tried to think of a way.
His vitality was damaged. According to the inspector, it would take 100 years for him to recover completely.
He couldn't make it in 100 years. Zuo Qiulu wouldn't give him that long.
Then there were only two ways — to find a way to recover quickly or to get a top level pellet.
He had taken many pellets and elixirs from the Divinity but they were useless unless he went to the Second Tribulation Heaven.
But who could go to the Second Tribulation Heaven?
Even Ling Qingyan might not be able to get one.
Besides … Ling Qingyan said that if he didn't have the abilities of a Second Tribulation Heaven God, he would be courting death if he went to the Second Tribulation Heaven!
He had to find a way to recover on his own.
"The body is a natural formation. My body is so weak. It is possible that the formation foundation is damaged.
The vitality in my body is damaged. I cannot make the formation work perfectly. "
At this moment, Lu Li's mind was very clear. He had figured something out.
He lowered his head and muttered to himself for an hour. He had some ideas in his mind. "Either I find a way to replenish my vitality, or I can only replenish the rest of the energy to barely activate the array formation in my body.
Perhaps … I can give the Heavenly Tribulation a try?
Replenish some lightning energy and let your body recover a little. Maybe that will help you recover faster? "
In the Thunder Tribulation, Lu Li could absorb thunderbolts quickly. Once thunderbolts entered his body, his body would be strengthened and transformed.
Perhaps it could also replenish his vitality?
Speed up the recovery of the body?
"Hmm, we can try it when we get back. It's a good idea!"
Lu Li nodded. He said he would try later because he didn't dare to go up yet.
Although he could easily use the Lightning Gathering Array in his body to absorb the lightning, the Wind Fire Tribulation was very dangerous.
Now that he was so weak, his physical defense would definitely be weakened. What if he couldn't even pass through the Trials of Wind and Fire and lost consciousness inside?
At that time, he would become a piece of charcoal.
"Half a month to recover!"
Lu Li made up his mind. After half a month, he would ride the mountain and go to the Heaven's Tribulation. If thunderbolts could help him recover faster, then many problems would be solved.
Lu Li didn't worry about anything else after he made up his mind. He sat down with his legs crossed to cultivate.
However, he was interrupted after one day. Ling Qingyan came with two inspectors. Fortunately, the Divine Lady didn't come with him. Otherwise, Lu Li wouldn't even bother to open his eyes.
"Lu Li, right?"
Guan Ning forced a smile. Lu Li sensed that she was more powerful than Zuo Qiulu. She must be at the peak of the First Tribulation Realm. She could dominate the entire Divinity.
Lu Li couldn't tell her age from her appearance but she must be old. She said, "Divine Lady, you are too young and not sensible enough. Please forgive me for my rudeness yesterday."
Lu Li didn't show any emotion. He was so weak that it was hard for him to smile. He just nodded and asked Guan Ning to go on.
Guan Ning went straight to the point, "On behalf of the Palace of Shangqing, I am inviting you to join us as the leader of the External Clan.
If you are in the Divinity, there will be no restrictions and you don't have to do anything on purpose. But when you go to the Second Heaven, you must listen to the orders of the Palace of Shangqing.
Of course … when you are at the Second Heaven, we will not force you to do anything. What do you think? "
Guan Ning's sincerity was enough. If she had said this yesterday, Lu Li would have thought about it. However, because of Lady Man, he was disgusted by the Palace of Shangqing.
After a moment of silence, Lu Li asked, "What can I do by joining you?"
"The benefits are obvious!"
Guan Ning grinned. She and Ling Qingyan had talked the day before. She had a clear understanding of Lu Li and the current situation in the Divinity. She said with a smile, "As long as you are the leader of the External Clan of the Palace of Shangqing, when the news gets out, the Hall of Black Flames won't dare to kill you even if they come down to the mortal world.
Isn't it the best thing to save your life? "
Lu Li said nothing. After a while, he asked, "If I unify the Divinity, what do you need me to do?
Or … what do you need from the Divinity? "
Lu Li did not talk to Ling Qingyan and Pan Yuqin beforehand, but he had a feeling that the Palace of Shangqing must have something to ask of him.
If they could help Lu Li unify the Divinity and they had nothing to ask for, then why would they waste their time?
"Nothing!"
Guan Ning said casually, "If you can unify the Divinity, we will support you more. You may become the leader of the Internal Clan or even a patriarch.
Of course, you must provide us with some rare resources in the Divinity. You can recommend some talented warriors to us, and we will do our best to train them.
In other words, we will be in a cooperative relationship. We will each take what we need and we will work together for a win-win situation. "
"Win-win situation?"
Lu Li put on a mocking smile. At the end of the day, if he unified the Divinity, he would become a puppet of the Palace of Shangqing.
He would manage the Divinity for them, and the Divinity would become an affiliated universe of the Palace of Shangqing. From now on, all the good stuff would belong to the Palace of Shangqing.
Of course, the Palace of Shangqing would give him some "bones" from time to time as a watchdog …
"Well, I will think about it carefully. You can go back to the Second Heaven now. I will have Qing Yan send a message to you later!"
Lu Li did not say anything. Instead, he asked them to leave.
He planned to go to the Lightning Tribulation in half a month. If the Lightning Tribulation could help him recover quickly, he would disregard Guan Ning's words today.
"We have given you a chance, and you want to run a dyehouse?
Who do you think you are? You want us to go back and wait for your message? "
A cold voice came from outside. Guan Ning, Guan Lu and Ling Qingyan's expressions changed. The relationship that they had worked so hard to ease was ruined by this idiot.
Lady Man walked in in a hurry. She squinted at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, I will give you one last chance. Give me an answer in two hours. Otherwise, we will go back to the Second Heaven immediately and you can wait for your death."
"I don't need two hours!"
This time, Lu Li did not hesitate. He said coldly, "You can go now. I will not join the Palace of Shangqing.
Qing Yan, see them out! "
