Lu Li left the city. There were many scouts and warriors outside the city. Lu Li couldn't just hide outside the city.
He couldn't hide all the time, could he?
If he didn't, then he would be discovered by the scouts, which would cause a lot of trouble.
He couldn't go into the Magic Realm either. If he cultivated in there, he wouldn't know what was going on outside. What if Lu Xiaobai left the City of Mystic Armor after a few years of closed-door cultivation?
Therefore, Lu Li decided to go to the black market. There were many rooms there. He could rent a room as long as he spent some celestial stones.
What kind of business couldn't he do?
Lu Li flew over and soon arrived at the hidden castle. He found the old man.
Lu Li could come out safely because he didn't mess around in the city.
The old man had already reported to the leader in the city who arranged a warrior to watch over Lu Li.
Therefore, the old man's attitude towards Lu Li was not so bad. After Lu Li made his intentions clear, the old man thought about it and said, "Sir, you are not renting a house. You need us to protect you for some time.
You will be absolutely safe here. Of course … the rent will not be cheap. "
"Name your price!"
Lu Li had some celestial stones with him so he didn't mind. It was true that he couldn't rent a room here. He could enjoy their protection and wouldn't be disturbed by the outside world.
"How long do you want to stay?"
The old man asked. Lu Li was hesitating. The old man did some calculations and said, "No matter how long you want to stay, we will calculate it on a yearly basis. 10 billion celestial stones per year. What do you think?"
"No problem!"
Lu Li was straightforward. He couldn't stay for long and Lu Xiaobai couldn't stay in closed-door cultivation forever. Based on what Lu Li knew, Lu Xiaobai was not a man who could sit still. He would come out after a few years.
Lu Li paid for two years. The old man was about to give Lu Li a room when Lu Li touched his nose and said, "Can you give me some information? I can give you 10 billion celestial stones!"
The old man looked at him and asked, "What information?"
"I will be honest with you!"
Lu Li said with a straight face, "I am entrusted by my race to come and visit Lord Lu Xiaobai. So, when you come out from cultivation, please let me know. I will go to the city to deliver the invitation card to you."
"Hmm?"
The old man pulled a long face and a glint of coldness rose in his eyes. He stared at Lu Li for a moment. Seeing that Lu Li's expressions didn't change, the old man nodded and said, "Okay. But I advise you not to mess around in the City of Mystic Armor. I can kill you easily."
"Hehe!"
Lu Li said with a smile, "You have seen my realm. Any one of you can kill me with my abilities. Do I dare to do anything evil?
What evil could I do? "
The old man thought about it and agreed. He arranged a warrior to take Lu Li down.
Lu Li was taken to a small side chamber. The warrior said, "Chief Steward Cheng said that Lord, please rest here and don't wander around. If you trespass into our forbidden area, it will be hard to talk to you."
"Don't worry!" Lu Li nodded and said, "I will cultivate here. I won't go anywhere!"
The warrior left. Lu Li activated the Divine Glyphs in the room and used psychic power to check. Zixi hadn't woken up yet. Lu Li left her alone and closed his eyes to cultivate and rest.
Soon, more than four months had passed. There was no news from outside. Lu Li stopped to rest for a while. He used psychic power to check and found that Zixi had woken up.
"Buzzing!"
He let Zixi out. She hugged him happily and said, "Brother Lu, what is going on?
Did you kill that powerful warrior? "
"Yes!"
Lu Li nodded. He patted Zixi's head and said, "Don't worry. We are safe now. We are near the City of Mystic Armor."
"City of Mystic Armor?"
Zixi took out the map and looked at it. She said with confusion, "Brother Lu, are you going to stay here?"
"I can't leave for now!"
Lu Li looked at the pitiful Zixi. He couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Zixi pointed to a mountain on the map and said, "If I am right, this is where I want to go. There is still some distance from the City of Mystic Armor."
Previously, Lu Li and Zixi had an agreement that they would travel together. Zixi didn't say that Lu Li had to take her to the place she wanted to go.
Now that Lu Li had arrived at his destination, they should have parted ways under normal circumstances.
Without Lu Li's protection, it was unlikely that Zixi could survive to get to the place she wanted to go from the City of Mystic Armor …
"Mount of Ghosts?"
Lu Li looked at the map. It was some distance from the City of Mystic Armor. At a normal speed, it would take him at least half a year to get there.
Half a year was not a big deal. It would only take him a year to go back and forth. Lu Xiaobai might not come out from his closed-door cultivation.
Lu Li was afraid that something would go wrong on the way. If he was trapped for hundreds of years, not to mention being killed, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, he thought for a while and said, "How about you wait here? When I see the person I want to see, I will go with you."
If Lu Xiaobai was Lu Xiaobai, then there would be no problem.
If Lu Xiaobai was not Lu Xiaobai, then there was no point for Lu Li to stay here. There was no harm in going with Zixi.
Zixi was touched and said, "Brother Lu, how long will it take?"
Lu Li answered, "A year and a half at least, three to five years at most."
"Okay!"
Zixi didn't hesitate. She would wait for a few years because it would be too dangerous for her to go alone. Only Lu Li could take her there.
She was too weak, and she was just a little girl. Once she was in danger, she might be captured and then sold as a commodity.
"Okay, go ahead with your closed-door cultivation!"
Lu Li didn't mind Zixi anymore. He told her to stay here and not to run around. Zixi sat next to Lu Li and cultivated.
Lu Li didn't go out either. Anyway, when Lu Xiaobai came out, the steward outside would inform him.
Lu Li had been staying here, which made the stewards of the castle let down their guard a little.
However, Chief Steward Cheng had arranged a warrior to keep an eye on Lu Li in case he would act recklessly.
Lu Li continued to refine his body and cultivate at the same time, trying to understand Daos.
He had learned two types of Daos, the Great Heaven Dao of Ancestor Hao and the Life and Death Dao of Yan Emperor.
Lu Li had only scratched the surface of the two Daos. He didn't want to learn them completely.
He felt neither was suitable for him. He wanted to learn from the two Daos and see if he could learn a Dao that belonged to him.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, eight months had passed. Lu Li had been cultivating in there for a year.
He stopped and went out to find the guard who was watching him and asked some questions.
Lu Xiaobai was still in closed-door cultivation. Lu Li had to go back to cultivate.
Zixi had been cultivating as well, but her realm didn't improve. She was still at the initial stage of the Emperor Realm.
After more than half a year of closed-door cultivation, Lu Li was finally woken up. A warrior walked in. First, he looked at Zixi with curiosity and then said with a straight face, "Chief Steward Cheng asked me to inform you that Young Master … is out of closed-door cultivation!"
