Lu Li went back to the Celestial Emperor City. He had only rested for a day when someone came to him. The first one was Hu Shimeng.
He had recovered a bit but not completely. He hurried to the door. When Lu Li opened the door, Hu Shimeng dragged Lu Li outside.
"What are you doing, Brother Hu?"
Lu Li was not worried that Hu Shimeng would do something reckless in the city. He didn't look like he was going to do that either.
Hu Shimeng waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu, don't ask too many questions. Just go with me. I don't think I will harm you."
Since Hu Shimeng had called him brother, Lu Li didn't ask any more questions. He followed Hu Shimeng out of the tavern. There was a luxurious chariot parked outside. There were six beautiful beasts pulling the chariot. Behind them was a team of warriors.
Hu Shimeng pulled Lu Li onto the chariot in a friendly manner. The chariot sped away. Lu Li sat down and asked with a smile, "Brother Hu, where are you taking me?"
"I am taking you to a good place!"
Hu Shimeng grinned and said, "Brother, I am here today to apologize and thank you. You don't have to worry about anything and just listen to me. How about that?"
"Okay!"
Lu Li didn't ask any more questions. Hu Shimeng was knocked out and teleported away. When he woke up, Hu Shimeng realized that he had made the breakthrough.
Before he passed out, he had lost all hope. How could he not be happy when he woke up to find that he had gone from hell to heaven?
Therefore, after a day of healing, he came to Lu Li to repay his kindness.
Lu Li was taken to an average-looking manor. The manor was large but it didn't look imposing. There were no warriors guarding at the gate. Only an old servant was there to welcome guests.
Hu Shimeng must be a regular here. When the old servant saw the chariot, he opened the door and let them in. The chariot circled around the manor and stopped outside a castle.
At the gate of the castle stood a charming lady in a gorgeous dress. When Hu Shimeng and the others came down, she put on a gentle smile. Instead of flattering them, she said to Hu Shimeng like they were old friends, "Young Master Meng, same rules?"
"No!"
Hu Shimeng waved his hand and said, "This time, give me the highest standard. They are my honored guests."
"You must be Young Master Lu?"
The charming lady bowed to Lu Li and said, "My name is Qing Ping, the manager of this place.
Right now, Young Master Lu's name has spread throughout Celestial City. It's our honor to have you come to our gentle home. If Young Master Lu comes here in the future, we'll give you a 20% discount. "
"Qingping, you're going too far!"
Hu Shimeng said discontentedly, "How many parangons have I spent here?
You just gave me a 20% discount. As soon as Lu Li came, you gave him a 20% discount. Are you looking down on me, or are you interested in my Brother Lu? "
"Young Master Hu must be joking."
Qing Ping threw Lu Li an amorous glance and said, "Young Master Lu, you are so young, handsome, and heroic. Your future is limitless.
Qingping is getting old. Even if I have some thoughts, Young Master Lu won't like me. "
"The land of tenderness is the grave of a hero!"
Lu Li touched his nose and realized what this place was. It was a brothel of a higher class.
He just smiled at Qing Ping and Hu Shimeng's attempts to curry favor with him. He had never liked this kind of place.
But since Hu Shimeng had brought him here, he couldn't say no. That would be a slap on Hu Shimeng's face.
Everyone walked in. To Lu Li's surprise, it wasn't the kind of place where there was too much makeup. Instead, it was very elegant. There were several women playing instruments and four women dancing in the middle.
Two golden tables were filled with bejeweled nectar and fruits. After Hu Shimeng and Lu Li sat down, Qing Ping clapped her hands and four girls walked in.
Lu Li was surprised when he took a look. The four girls that walked in were all stunningly beautiful. They didn't seem to be prostitutes at all. Instead, they each had their own unique temperament.
It seemed that the four were not girls from a brothel, but young ladies of the highest level.
The four girls walked over separately, two on each side. One poured wine for Lu Li and the other massaged his legs. They didn't seem to be trying to curry favor with him. Instead, they were like old friends, giving people a sense of intimacy.
There was a faint fragrance coming from the two girls. It was not perfume, but the body fragrance of a girl. It smelled good.
Hu Shimeng kept toasting. He was straightforward and didn't hide anything. He said he was grateful for Lu Li's help. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to reach the next level and he would be too ashamed to go back to his family.
He made it clear that he owed Lu Li a favor and he would do it as long as it was within his power.
Lu Li liked Hu Shimeng's straightforward character. They ate and drank to their heart's content. Hu Shimeng took the two girls to his room to fool around.
Lu Li had two beautiful girls sitting next to him so he could do whatever he wanted. But he didn't. He said goodbye and left after a while.
Not long after he came back, Guan Qianqiu sent someone to invite Lu Li again. Lu Li had attended Hu Shimeng's banquet before and he had to go again.
Guan Qianqiu invited many young masters and young ladies, not just Guan Qianqiu. Everyone in his group came. They all addressed Lu Li as brothers and were very friendly. Lu Li was speechless.
After he came back from the banquet, Lu Li received more invitations. This time, he didn't go anywhere. He stayed in the tavern to cultivate.
Even though he had made it to the Top 30, he didn't feel complacent or complacent. He knew very well that he was blessed to have made it this far. Good luck would not be with him forever.
If he didn't try his best in the finals, he would still be eliminated easily.
For warriors in the Endless Ruins, joining the Heaven Emperor Sect could change their fate. Maybe, their families could enjoy a meteoric rise as well.
But for Lu Li, the Heaven Emperor Sect had a different meaning. Whether he could join the Heaven Emperor Sect would determine whether he could save Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong.
Lu Ling was more important than his life.
Time flew by. Half a month had passed. Half a day earlier, Lu Li washed up and had a good meal. He was at the peak of his mental state.
The only pity was that he had been studying the soul skill for a long time but he still hadn't mastered it. His abilities didn't improve, either.
Lu Li flew with the others and arrived at the Peak of Immortal. This time, there were not two shields, but five. But they were all smaller.
Clearly!
This was not a free-for-all, but a one-on-one fight. This time, it was a test of real abilities. Trickery would not work.
Without strong abilities, it would be hard for one to make it to the next round.
Tens of millions of people gathered around. This was the last fight. Naturally, they would not miss it.
Many people placed bets on who would win first or second place. The odds would be higher.
This time, the Master of the Heaven Emperor Sect didn't come either, which disappointed everyone. But this time, not only did three emperors come, but two more came. The Heaven Emperor Sect attached great importance to the recruitment ceremony.
When a piece of news came out, everyone was in an uproar.
This time, the two emperors of the Heaven Emperor Sect stated that they would choose one of the Top 10 as their personal disciple.
