Two months passed by quickly. The Black Flame Hall, the Fu Family and the Bu Family had mobilized more than 100,000 warriors, including at least 50 powerful warriors of the third tribulation. But they couldn't find any trace of Lu Li.
Their main search area was the Storm Region. How could they find Lu Li now that he had left?
After two months, the scouts were slacking off. After all, if they couldn't find Lu Li for two months, they might not find him in two years.
When Lu Li attacked the Fu Family, the Fu Family and the Bu Family mobilized so many warriors but they still couldn't find him. It meant that Lu Li was very good at hiding.
Many patriarchs had given up, let alone the average scouts.
The three forces couldn't find Lu Li, but two major events happened at the Storm Region. Both the Master of the Black Flame Hall and the Fu Family Patriarch were assassinated by two mysterious powerful warriors. Luckily, they were defeated in the end.
The two families were scared. If both of their leaders were dead, then the two forces would be in chaos and their prestige would be damaged.
More importantly, many independent cultivators and families of different sizes would join hands to attack them. By then, the two forces would be annihilated and consigned to eternal damnation.
The Master of the Black Flame Hall and the Fu Family Patriarch left at once. They went back to the Black Flame Hall and the Fu Family respectively. They would be much safer in their territories with strong resources.
If it were just one or two powerful independent cultivators, it would be harder to kill them.
After the two assassinations, the families were in a state of panic. They didn't dare to put more effort into their search. They felt there were arrows coming from all sides, and they were afraid that someone was targeting them.
But the scouts didn't leave. If they didn't kill Lu Li, the two families wouldn't be able to clean up the mess.
The Black Flame Hall, in particular, was shamed. They could hear people talking about the Black Flame Hall and laughing at them everywhere they went. They couldn't lift their heads.
Once, they were proud to be from the Black Flame Hall. Now, they felt it was a disgrace to be in the Black Flame Hall.
The dignity of a super force was very important. Once it was trampled on, everyone in the Black Flame Hall would be alienated.
In the long run, the super force would collapse.
However, they didn't dare to leave without orders from above. They had to search around and wander around in embarrassment.
…
Lu Li came out from cultivation today. He had consumed more than 200 bottles of divine quintessence. He had obtained a square of divine quintessence, but he had only used one-fifth of it.
He did not dare to refine the Spirit Marrow too quickly, for fear that his body would not be able to withstand it. Every time, he refined half a bottle at a time.
Two months of cultivation had yielded remarkable results. Lu Li could clearly feel that his body was getting stronger.
He felt that after refining the divine quintessence, his body should have at least doubled in strength.
The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was his bones. After refining so much Spirit Marrow, his bones were still dark yellow. There was no sign of them turning black.
This bone refining technique was too difficult. Originally, he thought that after refining so much Spirit Marrow, his bones would at least turn black, right?
However, he didn't expect that it would only turn slightly dark yellow.
At this rate, Lu Li believed that the bones would only turn black after all the marrow was consumed.
Waiting for the black bone to turn golden was a hundred times more difficult than the first level. How many heavenly materials and earthly treasures would it take?
"The path of the Supreme Divine Physique is indeed difficult. No wonder there are so few people who have achieved the Great Accomplishment of the Third Heaven Supreme Divine Physique!"
Lu Li sighed. Since the ancient times, very few could achieve the Great Accomplishment of the Immortal Body. If it were easy, many families could train one.
Treasures like the Spirit Marrow were rare, but a family at the Third Heaven should be able to get it.
Why couldn't they train a Supreme Divine Physique?
There must be a reason.
"Whatever!"
Lu Li didn't dwell on it. Whether or not he could achieve the Great Accomplishment of the Immortal Body was something to be considered later. Right now, he just wanted to be stronger so that he could defeat the Fu Family and the Hall of Black Flame.
"Changed back!"
Lu Li got up and left. Before he left, he destroyed the cave. There were some traces here. If someone could find it, they could infer something.
After some thoughts, Lu Li decided not to put on the mask but to show his real appearance.
He had never seen this average-looking scout before. Only Yan Hong and a few warriors of the Omen Island had.
Lu Li planned to teleport to the Heaven Music City and buy some high-level masks. In this way, it would be safer for him to teleport away.
The Heaven Music City was not far away from here. Lu Li arrived after teleporting for dozens of times.
He went directly to the auction house and found Chief Steward Lu.
Chief Steward Lu didn't know Lu Li's real identity. According to the rules of the auction house, he wouldn't go out of his way to find out.
That being said, he knew Lu Li was a rich man so he welcomed Lu Li in with enthusiasm.
"Young Master, what are you going to buy or sell this time?"
Lu Li still had several million Divine Origin Gold left from last time. This time, he killed some warriors and earned two million Divine Origin Gold. Therefore, he didn't want to sell anything. He said, "I want to buy one or two human skin masks, the kind that even warriors at the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm can't see through. Do you have any?"
"Yes!"
Chief Steward Lu smiled and said, "There are too many of them. Our Palace of Heaven Music's own Tattooist can do it. Young Master, you are an honored guest. I will not make an offer. Three million Divine Origin for one."
"Well, the price is reasonable!"
Lu Li nodded. Young Master Qin said it was only several million Divine Origin Gold each. Chief Steward Lu didn't make an offer.
"But, Young Master!"
Chief Steward Lu thought about it and said, "After a few times, the mask will be useless.
I recommend you to buy a secret skill. It is an ancient skill that can help you change your appearance. When you master it, nobody can see through you except for warriors with a strong soul of the Third Tribulation Realm. "
"Oh?
There is such a skill? "Lu Li was surprised. Then he said with a bitter smile," It must be expensive, right? "
"Of course!"
Chief Steward Lu nodded and said, "It is one of the best skills at the Second Heaven. Of course … many powerful warriors of major forces have cultivated similar skills as well. Therefore, it is not that rare.
Young Master, you are our honored guest. If you want, I can give you a 30% discount. You only need to pay 30 million Divine Origin Gold and you can learn it. "
"30 million?"
Lu Li gasped. Steward Lu really had the guts to make an offer.
This kind of skill could be copied and sold constantly. If he could sell it for 30 million each time, he could sell it for 100 times and it would be three billion.
Seeing Lu Li's reaction, Chief Steward Lu explained with a smile, "This is the price set by our Master. Without this price, I would rather not sell it!"
"Okay … I will buy it!"
Lu Li made up his mind. He decided to buy the ancient skill. With this skill, he could change his identity at any time. It would be harder for the Black Flame Hall and the Fu Family to hunt him down.
He didn't have that much Divine Origin Gold, but he had the elixirs. Any one of them was worth tens of millions. It was not that he couldn't afford 30 million.
He waved his hand and said, "Go and find an appraiser. I will sell my treasures to you and convert them into Divine Origin Gold!"
"Okay!"
