Auntie?
Lu Li's eyes were filled with passion again. They were his two closest relatives in the Lu Family and they were people he could trust with absolute confidence.
These days, he had met several people of the same generation as his grandfathers and some of his uncles.
Even though Patriarch Eight said that the Great Patriarch was loyal to his grandpa, Lu Li was still worried. Therefore, he didn't tell them that his father was in the Ice Abyss.
Maybe the Lu Family could find out that he was from the Northern Desert and send someone there to investigate.
But only Lu Li and his sister knew that his father was in the Ice Abyss.
Even … Ming Yu didn't know. He might have some doubts.
Who would go to the Ice Abyss for no reason?
That was the most dangerous place at the Northern Desert.
Therefore, as long as Lu Li and Lu Ling didn't say anything, nobody would know where Lu Renhuang was.
While Lu Li was thinking about it, a maid came in with a golden booklet.
Lu Li opened it and saw three words — Soul Cultivation Method.
There were two ways to cultivate the Soul Pond. One was to rely on treasured materials and the other was to rely on soul cultivation methods.
Lu Li learned a method to cultivate the soul from Ming Yu but the progress was slow.
The method given by the Lu Family would not be bad. Lu Li became excited when he thought about the blood essence mentioned by Patriarch Eight. He had absorbed all the blood essence in the pond.
Of course!
Not all the blood essence in the pond was absorbed by Lu Li. More of it was … absorbed by the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond.
Lu Li didn't tell anyone about this. In the underground hall, Lu Li said that the silver dragon mark on his back was just that he was cultivating a special method to refine his body.
This was his secret and he didn't want anyone to know!
As soon as he got into the blood pond, he didn't absorb any blood essence. Later, he suddenly started because of the silver dragon mark.
He could vaguely feel that a lot of blood essence was absorbed by the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond.
This was so strange that Lu Li didn't dare to talk about it or ask the Lu Family.
At the moment, Lu Li didn't care too much. He focused on the Soul Cultivation Method. In just half a day, he had learned it.
This Soul Cultivation Method was much better than the one Ming Yu gave him and more mysterious.
The cultivation technique that Ming Yu gave him was only to refine his soul, allowing his soul to slowly strengthen and grow naturally.
Not only did this Soul Refining Technique increase the speed of refinement by several times, it could also absorb the essence of the profound energy between heaven and earth and transform it into soul force.
According to the Soul Refining Technique, the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth contained all kinds of energy and was the source of all things.
The Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi nurtured all living things, and all the treasures of heaven and earth were actually born from the Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi.
Therefore, some of the essence energy in the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth could be directly transformed into Soul Energy to strengthen the Soul Pond.
"Cultivate!"
After learning the cultivation method, Lu Li didn't even have time to eat. He started closed-door cultivation at once.
Once he started cultivating, he realized that it was at least five times faster than Ming Yu's cultivation technique. Adding on the energy that he absorbed from heaven and earth to nourish his soul, the speed was several times faster. It was at least eight times faster than Ming Yu's cultivation technique.
Based on the progress of Ming Yu's cultivation method, it would take Lu Li at least more than 10 years to reach the peak of the Soul Pond Realm if he didn't use any soul related elixirs.
Now that he had this cultivation method, it would take him at most a year or so.
If he had treasures like Soul Crystals to consume continuously, the time would be reduced by half.
Patriarch Eight and Patriarch Four didn't give Lu Li any elixirs. After cultivating for two hours, Lu Li realized that they were not being stingy. It was … he didn't need any elixirs at all.
While he was cultivating, there would be a strange energy coming out from his body and surging into his Soul Pond.
It made his Soul Pond grow at a horrifying speed. It was much faster than consuming Soul Crystals!
"Blood Source!"
Only now did Lu Li truly understand what Patriarch Eight meant by "great benefits". This blood essence was definitely a supreme treasure.
He had only cultivated for two hours, but he felt it was faster than consuming hundreds of Soul Crystals.
What Lu Li didn't know was that the Blood Pond of God was one of the 12 Royal Families' heritage. It was one of the foundations for the 12 Royal Families to cultivate powerful warriors quickly. It was also one of the conditions that allowed Lu Renhuang and the others to cultivate so fast.
Lu Renhuang reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20, not only because of his talent, but also because of the resources of the Lu Family.
Lu Li's body and soul were in a state of excitement. He forgot everything else and focused on cultivating his Soul Pond.
If nobody disturbed him at this moment, he would cultivate for 10 days or even a month until his body couldn't stand it anymore.
Lu Li cultivated through the night until dawn. It was not until noon that he was woken up.
Ming Yu walked in and reported, "Young Master, Madam Feixue is here."
Lu Li opened his eyes and then closed them again. He checked his Soul Pond and exclaimed to himself.
The blood source was amazing. His Soul Pond was twice as large as before. He was about to reach the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm.
Granted, he had consumed many Soul Crystals, but it had only been half a day and a night. Lu Li's eyes were filled with excitement.
As long as he could maintain this progress, in less than a month, he could reach the peak of the Soul Pond Realm.
"Auntie is here?"
Lu Li stopped his thoughts and looked at Ming Yu who nodded.
Lu Li stood up, tidied up his clothes and walked out in strides.
In the hall outside, Yu Huashen was guarding at the door. In the middle of the hall stood a beautiful lady with a maid next to her.
The lady had a good figure and a pretty face. She was holding onto her sleeves, looking around with anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.
As soon as Lu Li walked out, the lady looked over. She trembled when she saw Lu Li's face. Tears glistened in her eyes. She moved her lips and she was overwhelmed with excitement.
Lu Feixue should be 35 or 36 years old but she looked like she was in her early twenties. She was gentle and lovely. The tears in her eyes made her look even more lovely.
Lu Li was excited as well. But he stopped and looked at the lady from a distance. It was as if time had stopped. Lu Li was getting more and more excited.
After the time for more than a dozen breaths, Lu Li took a deep breath and walked over step by step.
"Drip, drip, drip!"
Lu Feixue couldn't hold back her tears anymore. They rolled down from her chin to the ground, making a clear sound.
She moved her lips before she said in a trembling voice, "You, you are really my brother's son?"
Lu Li's eyes reddened. He sped up and walked to Lu Feixue. He dropped to his knees and said, "I am Lu Li. I am here to kowtow to you."
"Get up, get up, get up!"
Lu Feixue bent down and grabbed Lu Li's hands. Tears ran down from her eyes.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't get up and was still kowtowing, she knelt down as well. She hugged Lu Li and said incoherently, "Good boy, don't kowtow. I am useless and I have wronged you … don't be afraid. I am here. Nobody can hurt you …"
Lu Feixue's tears fell on Lu Li's face, wetting his clothes and hair. His heart was melted as well.
Lu Li's heart trembled. Tears welled up in his eyes.
He rarely cried but this time, he cried like a child …
