Yu Huashen and Little White were gone for a long time this time. They didn't come back until the next night.
Lu Li could sense Yu Huashen through the Soul Worms so he knew he was fine. If so, Little White must be fine as well. Lu Li was relieved.
Yu Huashen's face was glowing after he came back. Clearly, he had gained a lot.
Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at him. Yu Huashen grinned and said, "The caves of ghosts are erupting more and more violently. There are Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals everywhere. There are more Gargoyle Rats as well.
But Little White is awesome. With it here, no Gargoyle Rats dare to get close. Ha, ha. "
Lu Li was excited. He asked, "How many did you get?"
He had used up more than half of his Soul Crystals. Now that Yu Huashen was back, Lu Li could continue cultivating.
Yu Huashen reached out two fingers and said, "Nearly 2000 Soul Crystals and 90,000 Purple Xuan Crystals."
"Good!"
Lu Li gave him a thumbs-up. Two thousand Soul Crystals meant more than two billion Xuan Crystals. The 70,000 Purple Xuan Crystals meant more than 900 million Xuan Crystals. They had only been out for one day and night and they had gained a lot.
Every time the caves of ghosts erupted, there would be a large number of Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals but most of them would be absorbed back into the caves. Yu Huashen was already doing well.
Of course, Little White also played a part.
With the eruption of the caves of ghosts, there would be more and more Gargoyle Rats. Without Little White, Yu Huashen would be attacked by the Gargoyle Rats and wouldn't have the time to collect Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals.
Yu Huashen's ring lit up and he let out 2000 Soul Crystals.
Lu Li took them all. Yu Huashen didn't give the Purple Xuan Crystals to Lu Li. It was the same no matter who had them.
"Young Master!"
Yu Huashen didn't go out right away. Instead, he asked with a frown, "I think there will be more Gargoyle Rats coming.
How about … I go out by myself and leave Little White here. You will be safer this way. "
Gargoyle Rats were horrifying. Once Lu Li was bitten, he would be poisoned and turned into a human rat. Not even a god could save him.
Lu Li refused after some thoughts. Without Little White, Yu Huashen couldn't collect too many Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals.
His safety was not a problem. With Ming Yu around, he could run away at any time. Yu Huashen's Bloodline Skill.
Even if there were hundreds of Gargoyle Rats, Jiang Hao and Jiang Qiling would be fine.
Lu Li gave Yu Huashen a jade talisman of warning after some thoughts and said, "Take this jade talisman. If I am in danger, I will crush the jade talisman and you can come back with Little White immediately. If we run away, we will leave a mark …"
"Sure."
With Little White around, he could ignore the Gargoyle Rats. Even if something happened, it wouldn't take him long to rush back.
Yu Huashen went out again without taking a rest.
He wanted to collect as many Soul Crystals and Purple Xuan Crystals as possible so that he could reach the Mystic Armor Region as soon as possible.
If Lu Li was in a good mood, he might set him free. After all, the Lu Family did not lack powerful warriors.
People from the Pavilion of Delicacy were envious of Yu Huashen as he walked in and out.
Normally, ordinary people were not allowed to enter the Heavenly Ghost Mountain. Even when there was a riot, ordinary martial artists did not dare to enter.
After the riot, the Pavilion of Delicacy and other forces nearby would send people to collect Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. But now, Yu Huashen had it easy.
Lu Li left Yu Huashen alone and continued to consume Soul Crystals.
At this point, he could clearly feel that the effect was getting worse. Every time he consumed Soul Crystals, there would be less white energy. It must be that the Soul Crystals were becoming resistant to his body.
Lu Li didn't stop. The silver dragon mark had been absorbing the white energy. Lu Li wanted to see if there would be any changes after the silver dragon absorbed enough white energy.
Therefore, even though it was wasteful to consume Soul Crystals now, Lu Li didn't stop. He went on.
At midnight, Jiang Hao and the others went out again. There were dozens of Gargoyle Rats outside.
Jiang Hao also sent someone to warn everyone to be careful. Lu Li had to stop cultivating.
Luckily, there was only one batch of Gargoyle Rats this time. Jiang Hao and the others successfully dealt with the Gargoyle Rats.
Lu Li went back to cultivating after he was sure that it was safe. He fell into a deep sleep after the second half of the night.
Not long after the sun rose, more Gargoyle Rats came. This time, there were more than 100 of them.
Jiang Hao wanted Jiang Qiling to help but she didn't pay attention to him.
Jiang Hao had to go out with the others and asked Lu Li and Jiang Hong to keep an eye on Jiang Qiling.
More than 100 Gargoyle Rats could not stop all of them. Noises of fighting came from outside the valley.
Lu Li noticed that Jiang Qiling was still in her tent. He walked over with Ming Yu with a frown.
Lifting up the curtain, Lu Li saw Jiang Qiling sitting there quietly, sipping a goblet of Bloody Rose. A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Jiang Qiling, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. There are warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy out there. Are you going to watch them die?"
Jiang Qiling looked up. She was drunk. She put on a silly smile, tilted her head and said, "They watched my lover die. Why can't I watch them die?
There is no good person in the Pavilion of Delicacy. What does their death have to do with me?
I am doing them a favor by saving them and it is my duty not to save them.
People are selfish. If they can be so selfish, why can't I be? "
Jiang Qiling's twisted logic enraged Lu Li. His eyes grew colder as he shouted, "Last night, I told your grandpa that you are a good person. I take back my words.
Jiang Qiling, if you don't want to walk out, then you can sink into it. I was wrong about you. "
With that said, Lu Li turned around and left. Jiang Qiling was angry out of instinct after being yelled at by Lu Li.
But then she panicked. She moved her lips, trying to stop Lu Li but she didn't say anything.
"Bang!"
She smashed the goblet on the ground and stood up. She glared at Lu Li's back, stomped her feet and said, "Jiang Hong, get over here. Protect me."
Jiang Hong hurried over with a group of warriors. Jiang Qiling rushed out angrily. As soon as she arrived at the valley, she began to suppress the Gargoyle Rats one by one.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Right at that moment, the ground in the middle of the valley began to tremble. Many people in the valley were frightened and they rushed to the corners of the valley.
"Oh no ~"
Ming Yu and Lu Li looked at each other and shouted at the same time. They were unlucky this time. The eruption of the valley was the worst-case scenario.
Seeing that many people were retreating to the corners of the valley, Lu Li shouted, "All of you, get out of the valley or you will all die."
The valley was not a large one. If some Gargoyle Rats were to erupt, those that didn't leave the valley would all die.
Lu Li didn't mind them after he shouted. He shouted to Ming Yu, "Let's go and go to Jiang Qiling."
Jiang Hao had told him to take care of Jiang Qiling. It was okay for Ming Yu to take care of one more person. Lu Li had to fulfill his promise.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
