"Whoosh ~ ~"
From the Earth Dragon Island came out some noises. One figure after another came from the distance. They were all the same. The figures in front of them were condensed and then faded away one by one. Eventually, they disappeared completely.
One, five, 10, 15, 18 …
Lu Li was now able to condense 18 shadows, which were more than 100 feet long.
If he were to walk around on the spot, he would feel there were shadows everywhere. He could not tell the real from the fake, which was quite scary.
Hunchback Tian stood on the side and exclaimed to himself. The Apparition Xuan Skill was really freaky. It was a pity that Lu Li didn't let him learn it. Otherwise, Hunchback Tian's fighting capacity could be enhanced.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li swung his Mighty Heaven Halberd and smashed it forward. As he moved, so did all the shadows.
They were doing the same thing. It looked like there were shadows of the halberd all over the sky with the sound of wind and killing intent. The fake could be passed off as the real one.
"Domineering!"
Lu Li kept moving and waving his halberd. Hunchback Tian was dazzled.
All he could see was Lu Li and his halberd. Average warriors would be scared to the point of wetting their pants.
After Xu Sihe left, Lu Li cultivated even harder. Apart from cultivating Xuan Energy, he would practice the Apparition Xuan Skill outside.
This Xuan Skill was good stuff. Not only could it enhance his fighting capacity, it could also save his life.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
After a while, there came a cheerful cry from the distance.
Little White ran over, dripping wet. It must have gone to play in the lake.
"Whoosh!"
Little White rushed into the crowd and flew towards one. It found Lu Li's real body at once.
"This beast is freaky!"
Hunchback Tian looked at Little White with excitement. Even he could not find Lu Li's real body, but Little White could.
This beast was fast and it had broken the Fate Wheel. It must be an ancient species.
Lu Li put away his halberd and held Little White in his arms. The shadows around him disappeared one by one, leaving only Lu Li's real body.
Lu Li saw Little White with excitement in its eyes. It had a dark red stone in its mouth and kept crying.
"You like this stone?"
Lu Li asked with doubt. Little White bit off the stone and swallowed it. It nodded its little head and its eyes were filled with intoxication as if this was the most delicious thing in the world.
"Why did you eat it?
I haven't gotten anyone to appraise it yet. "
Lu Li was speechless. Even Little White had eaten it. Where could he get more stones like this?
He looked at Little White and asked, "By the way, where did you get this stone?"
"Bam bam!"
Little White screamed and flew to the distance. Lu Li quickly waved to Hunchback Tian and said, "Let's go."
Soon, they left the island with Little White. Little White rushed into the lake. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian followed it.
Little White did not go far. It swam along the island towards the bottom of the lake. In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, it reached the bottom of the lake and entered a small hole.
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked at each other. Their eyes lit up and they followed him into the cave.
After moving forward for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Little White stopped and pointed at the maroon cave wall in front of it, its little claws waving non-stop.
Then, Little White waved its claws and scratched at the cave wall. Little White's claws were very sharp, and it broke the cave wall in an instant. After digging a few meters, Little White came out with a brownish-red stone.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said in a muffled voice. He flew back to the Earth Dragon Island with Hunchback Tian.
As soon as he came out, he handed the dark red diamond-shaped crystal stone to Hunchback Tian and asked, "What kind of crystal stone is this? Do you know it?"
Hunchback Tian looked at it carefully and shook his head. "No. But it is from the volcano under the Earth Dragon Island. This should be a crystal stone of fire attribute."
"Go and find it out!"
Lu Li waved to Hunchback Tian who rushed towards the Blood Evil Island.
There were dozens of books on Mystical Materials on the Dragon Elephant Mountain, which recorded all the Mystical Materials of the Northern Desert. They should be able to find it out.
Lu Li brought Little White back to the temporary imperial residence. There were only two maids in the temporary imperial residence. There were no guards.
Based on Lu Li and Hunchback Tian's abilities, the guards were useless. There were too many Inhibition Formations here. If a scout sneaked in, they would be noticed immediately.
It had been three days since Xu Sihe left. It was still quiet.
Patriarch Seven had sent out many scouts to hide within 30 miles of the Blood Evil Island. Any information would be reported back immediately.
According to the scouts, there were often lake bandits to the east of the God-down Island. They even attacked a Third-rank Island.
The Xu Family army kept fighting against the lake bandits. It seemed that it was true …
Lu Li was not worried about the first one or two rounds of attacks. Since Xu Chen was ordered to warn Lu Li, there wouldn't be too many powerful warriors at the beginning. Lu Li still had time.
Ye Cha and the others could come out as long as they could hold on for another two months. Lu Li was confident that he could hold on for more than two months, so he was not too worried.
Hunchback Tian came back after cultivating for more than two hours. He found out the name of the dark red crystal stone that Little White dug out, Blood Flame Crystal.
This was indeed a unique crystal stone in the volcano. It was not expensive, only 100 Xuan Crystals for one on the market.
Little White liked this kind of food. Lu Li wouldn't hesitate even if it was 1000 Xuan Crystals for one, let alone 100.
Lu Li immediately asked Hunchback Tian to send a message to Patriarch Seven to find a way to buy some back.
Now that they could not go to the God-down Island, naturally, they could not teleport to the Heaven Prison Island. It was difficult to buy things.
Patriarch Seven dared not to disobey Lu Li's order. He immediately asked a Patriarch of the Spirit Sea Realm to sneak into the county outside the Thousand-island Lake to buy Blood Flame Crystals. At the same time, they bought some pellets and Mystical Materials for storage.
Lu Li kept on cultivating. His Spirit Sea was the size of a fist now. The Xuan Energy inside was surging and about to fill up the entire Spirit Sea.
His Spirit Sea had been expanded to the maximum. When his Xuan Energy was fully cultivated, he could start to try to reach the Soul Pond Realm.
After cultivating quietly for five days, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his face. After cultivating for such a long time, he finally reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The peak of the Spirit Sea Realm!
This was a realm that he couldn't even dream about before. Patriarch Seven and the others were at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm. Before, he could only look up to Patriarch Seven and the others.
He didn't even know how many Heaven Xuan Pellets and Cyan Phoenix Pellets he had consumed to reach the current realm.
If he were at the Liu Family before, even if he could become a core disciple and marry Liu Yi and become the son-in-law of the Liu Family, he wouldn't have so many pellets.
After a day's rest, Lu Li asked Patriarch Seven to bring him some pellets and Mystical Grasses for reaching the Soul Pond Realm. He was ready to do so.
Even though the lake bandits could attack at any time, Lu Li couldn't worry about that now. Every bit of improvement in his strength would mean a higher chance of survival.
He estimated that the first few rounds of attacks would only bring some warriors of the Soul Pond Realm at most. Hunchback Tian was enough.
Lu Li told Hunchback Tian and Patriarch Seven that he would go into closed-door cultivation. If he was lucky, he could reach the Soul Pond Realm in two or three days at most.
He had a large number of pellets and Mystical Grasses to help him. Even if he couldn't make the breakthrough, his life wouldn't be in danger.
"Hunchback Tian, if something happens, you hold them off. Kill all the lake bandits that set foot on the Blood Evil Island.
Once the fight starts, ask Liu Yi to stay here. If you can't handle it anymore, ask Liu Yi to inform me! "
