Lu Li didn't know that the Yin Family had given him the title of an honorary patriarch. Even if he did, he wouldn't care.
In the eyes of others, the Elders of the Yin Family were even more important than the sky. Not to mention the Elders, even the Hall Masters would be so excited that they would not be able to sleep.
Even the forefather of the Yin Family, the most powerful warrior, Emperor Zi, had been under Lu Li's control for many years. Why would Lu Li be excited about the position of patriarch of the Yin Family?
Lu Li would not be excited about the treatment of a patriarch from the Yin Family. He had taken something from them and owed them a favor. He had to return the favor.
It wasn't Lu Li's personality to eat and drink for free and still have a clear conscience.
Lu Li's cultivation, on the other hand, was quite peaceful.
Lu Li's understanding of the Dragon Manipulation Skill was on the right track. Lu Li estimated that after a while, he would have achieved initial success in the Dragon Manipulation Skill.
At that time, he should be able to use the Body-Dragon Technique, which should increase his strength by at least ten times.
The Yin Family had given Lu Li top-level pellets and elixirs to cultivate his soul and divine energy quickly. Lu Li was also given some elixirs to strengthen his body.
The elixirs were not given to Lu Li on a monthly basis like the ones at the Palace of Luo Xuan. Instead, the elixirs were given to Lu Li in one go for an entire year, and the elixirs were consumed by Lu Li's cultivation.
His soul was growing at a rapid pace, and his corporeal body was also growing stronger. His divine power flowed like water.
The divine medicine of a top-notch aristocratic family was naturally not something that a small faction could compare to. Not only was the Yin Clan the head of a feudal lord, but it was also a clan that had produced a powerful Emperor-level expert.
The Yin Family had a deep foundation. Now, they occupied three domains and controlled countless mystic realms, void fragments, and treasure lands.
Every year, the Yin Family could not use up all the elixirs produced in their territory. Many of the elixirs were sold in exchange for rare top-level elixirs. Lu Li was using the best ones.
Lu Li had been studying the Dragon Slaying Skill for three months. In order to avoid exhaustion, Lu Li took a day off to study the Void Teleportation skill.
The Crippled Zen Master had only given him the first half of the Divine Art. Now that he was studying the second half, he immediately realized how profound this Divine Art was.
This God Technique was an ancient God Technique that was obtained by the Violet Emperor and improved upon. There were some notes on it, which were probably left behind by the Violet Emperor.
This Ancient God Technique was a mystic ability of a powerful ancient race. Ordinary humans were unable to cultivate it, but after being modified by the Violet Thearch, they could cultivate it.
With Emperor Zi's notes and explanations, it was much easier for Lu Li to study. In half a month, he had learned the basics of the second volume. He estimated that in half a year at most, he could master the skill.
This divine art was an extremely powerful divine art for traveling and escaping. Previously, he only had the first half of the scroll. The space of the Third Heaven was too stable, so he couldn't use it.
If he managed to comprehend it, he would be able to use it. He just didn't know how far it could travel through the void.
In the past, flying through the void was considered a long distance in the Divine Realm. The problem was that the entire Divine Realm was about the size of a territory here.
At that time, if he wanted to fly across the entire God World, who knew how many times he would have to fly across the void.
If flying through the void could only reach that far in the Third Layer of Heaven, then this Divine Art would be meaningless.
Of course …
The fact that Emperor Zi went to improve it and the Crippled Zen Master gave Lu Li the second half of the scroll in such a serious manner indicated that there must be something special about this skill. Lu Li believed that it would not be a problem for him to fly across half a region.
After three months of cultivation, Lu Li stopped to rest for a couple of days.
Nobody disturbed him. Lu Li didn't socialize with the young masters and young ladies of the Yin Family. Now that he was a patriarch of honor, his status was no longer equal to the young masters and young ladies. Naturally, nobody would bother him.
During this time, Gan Lin and Qin Zhan were in closed-door cultivation as well. They would come out every now and then, but Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation.
Qin Zhan and Gan Lin had a good time with the young masters and young ladies of the Yin Family. Gan Lin even planned to hook up with a young lady of the Yin Family.
The Yin Family treated them well, of course, for Lu Li's sake. Also, the two of them did know how to conduct themselves.
Lu Li went back to cultivation after several days of rest. This time, he didn't study the Dragon Reaching Skill. Instead, he studied the Void Traversal skill.
The skill was about to be mastered. Lu Li wanted to make the best use of his time to master it.
Two and a half months later, Lu Li opened his eyes, filled with excitement.
The Void Traversal skill was learned smoothly. Lu Li had already learned the first half of the skill. With Emperor Zi's annotations, it was easier for him to learn the skill without any bottlenecks.
Lu Li wanted to have a try!
But in the end, he didn't because the Yin Family and the Cang Family were fighting. Lu Li was afraid that he might make a mistake and end up at the Cang Family's side …
Lu Li went back to cultivation after two days of rest. This time, he studied the Dragon Reaching Skill.
After cultivating for such a long time, his soul was strengthened and so was his divine energy. His physical body was improving, but it was not as obvious.
In order for his physical body to grow quickly, he had to have some peerless elixirs.
The reason why the Supreme Divine Physique was so difficult to cultivate, and the number of Supreme Divine Physiques that reached Great Completion could be counted on one's fingers was also because there were too few peerless divine herbs to refine the physique.
Even super families might not be able to buy the elixirs for body refinement even if they had divine stones.
During this time, it was not peaceful in the outside world. Three more wars broke out between the two allied forces. Both sides lost over 10 million warriors and another batch of fourth tribulation warriors died.
Average warriors were fine. After all, elixirs could be cultivated in batches. However, it was hard to train fourth tribulation warriors. Top level resources could only increase the chances but not the success rate.
Three months later, Yin Ruolan came back. This time, she came to Lu Li directly.
Lu Li was at a critical moment in his study of the Dragon Reaching Skill. He was annoyed to be woken up. But he remembered that not many people would come to disturb him.
He opened the door and saw Yin Ruolan. His anger subsided a bit. He forced a smile and said, "Young Lady Ruolan, you are back. Is the war over?"
"No!"
Yin Ruolan shook her head. She cupped her fists and said, "This time, the situation has changed. Forefather Six asked me to ask you to help us."
"Help?"
Lu Li was filled with doubt. What could he do to help the Yin Family when they were in trouble?
But since the Crippled Zen Master had said so, Lu Li must do his best.
He nodded and said, "What is it? Tell me."
"It is a long story. Let's sit down and talk."
Yin Ruo Lan walked out and sat down in the side hall outside. She called a maid to serve tea and said, "This matter has to start from the fight between us and the Cang Clan. We allied with the Cang Clan and many other clans to wage war against them. So many people died because we fought over an ancient palace hall."
"Ancient Hall?"
Lu Li had heard that the Yin Family and the Cang Family were fighting over a treasured land. He didn't know that it was an Ancient Hall. He nodded and asked Yin Ruolan to go on.
Yin Ruolan took a sip of tea and said, "It is said that this hall belongs to the daughter of an ancient Saint Emperor. This hall appeared at the border of a territory controlled by our family and a territory controlled by the Cang Family. To fight for this hall, we gathered many powerful warriors and started the war."
"But now!"
Yin Ruolan's eyes glowed and she said, "A corner of the Divine Inscription of this hall has been blasted open. In three months, we can go in."
"It is good that we can go in!"
Lu Li was surprised. He said, "Then all the powerful warriors can go in. What do I need to do?"
"Powerful warriors are not allowed in and they cannot go in!"
