Lu Li didn't know what was going on but he didn't care.
He had been influenced by Lu Ling since he was a kid. He would show respect to others when they showed him respect.
He would return the favor 10 times over.
If someone wanted to deal with him, he would return the favor with blood.
Lu Li was worried about Lu Feixue so he endured it for an entire afternoon. It was dark and Lu Zhengtan didn't even talk to him.
Lu Li could tell that Lu Zhengtan was humiliating him on purpose. Or, Lu Zhengtan was trying to establish his dominance by humiliating him. Or, Lu Zhengtan was waiting for Lu Li to fly into a rage.
Lu Li was not a man without a temper. He went back to the Rising Dragon Pavilion without thinking too much. He would accept whatever Lu Zhengtan wanted.
Of course, he pretended that nothing had happened when he returned to the Rising Dragon Pavilion.
When Lu Feixue asked about it, Lu Li only said that Lu Zhengtan was too busy to see him and asked him to come back to cultivate.
Lu Li fell asleep after he went back to his room. He didn't care about anything. When he woke up the next day, he had breakfast with Lu Feixue and then went back to his room to cultivate.
He thought he would go out after he was in closed-door cultivation and wait for Lu Zhengtan to come after him. He would deal with whatever came his way.
However, he was surprised — Lu Zhengtan didn't send anyone over. For the next three days, everything was peaceful. Lu Suan and Lu Ni didn't come after him, either.
Lu Li came out from closed-door cultivation. He asked the warriors outside to make sure that nobody came after him.
He touched his nose embarrassedly. After a while, he went back to closed-door cultivation.
He had been cultivating so fast that he felt his blood essence was inexhaustible. He was progressing at a tremendous speed.
He was excited and cherished this cultivation speed. He wished he could cultivate for 24 hours a day.
For the next couple of days, not only Lu Li and Lu Feixue, but also Patriarch Four and Patriarch Eight were confused.
Not only Lu Zhengtan didn't come after Lu Li, even Lu Suan and Lu Ni, the troublemakers, didn't do anything.
Lu Suan and Lu Ni were the best young masters in the Lu Family. Not even Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu could compete with them.
The two brothers were arrogant and arrogant at the Lu Family and the City of Mystic Armor. There was no reason for them to tolerate Lu Li who challenged their status.
They went into closed-door cultivation as soon as they came back. They went to a top-level cultivation room in the family. It seemed that they had benefited a lot from this trip and they wished they could improve their abilities right away.
Many in the family were relieved that the two were not making trouble. Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation as well. There would be no conflict.
Lu Zhengtan stayed at the Mystic Armor Mountain for a few days and went out again. This time, he went out to inspect his family's property. He had been away for a long time, so it was normal for him to do some inspection after he came back.
The City of Mystic Armor quieted down. After a couple of days of cultivation, Lu Li stopped paying attention to the city. Apart from the occasional meals and chats with Lu Feixue, he spent the rest of his time cultivating.
Half a month later.
Patriarch Eight and the others were relieved. It seemed that Lu Zhengtan had said that Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantian, Lu Suan and Lu Ni would not dare to cause trouble. This was the best outcome for Patriarch Eight and Patriarch Four.
Warriors from the Palace of Blue Lions should have arrived at the Cyan Plains. As long as Lu Ling could be brought back, Lu Li could be sure of Lu Li's identity and the whereabouts of Lu Renhuang.
Although …
Patriarch Eight and the others were well aware that Lu Renhuang's return would not change anything.
That being said, they still had some expectations for that talented future Family Patriarch. Twenty years had passed. What if Lu Renhuang had reached the Earth Immortal Realm?
…
At dawn on the 18th day, Lu Li opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with relief and excitement.
There was not much blood essence left in his body. The speed of blood essence flowing out had slowed down a few days ago. Luckily, he had reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm.
The peak of the Soul Pond Realm was only one step away from the Fate Wheel Realm. Lu Li was talented and the Lu Family had plenty of top-level elixirs.
At the very least, even if Lu Li was not given the elixirs, he had the Heaven Serpent Fruit himself. Reaching the Fate Wheel Realm was a sure thing.
His Soul Pond was several times larger now. The Xuan Energy in his Spirit Sea was thick and vigorous. It was about to solidify. This was a sign that he had reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. There was no doubt about it.
Lu Li was in a good mood. He was ready to stop cultivation. He got up and looked at Little White lying in the corner. Little White jumped into Lu Li's arms in excitement as soon as it saw Lu Li.
Lu Li threw some Soul Crystals to Little White but Little White didn't eat them. Instead, Little White looked at Lu Li with resentment.
Lu Li patted Little White's head lovingly. He knew that Little White was bored.
Little White was born to be active. When it was at the Northern Desert, it would wander around. Now that it was back at the Mystic Armor Mountain, Lu Li would not let it run around.
"Little White, hold on a little longer. I will show you around when we have the chance."
Lu Li sighed. There was nothing he could do now. For one thing, he had to cultivate. For another, the Lu Family was sealed off.
He couldn't go out for no reason. His family would not allow him to do so.
Lu Li walked out with Little White. Lu Feixue wasn't cultivating. She was sitting by herself in a daze.
Lu Li's footsteps startled her. She looked over and said with a smile, "Lu Li, you have finished cultivation?"
"Yes, I have reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm." Lu Li grinned.
"Good!"
Lu Feixue nodded. She was not too surprised.
For one thing, Lu Li was the son of Lu Renhuang. He must be talented. For another, Lu Li had absorbed a pond of blood essence.
Lu Li didn't understand the wonders of blood essence but Lu Feixue did.
Lu Li asked with concern seeing that Lu Feixue wasn't cultivating, "Aunt, why don't you try to reach the Noble Lord Realm?
Is there something wrong? "
"No hurry!"
Lu Feixue said with a smile, "It has been a long time since I cultivated. I used to be weak and I need some time to recover to the best state.
Otherwise, it will be a waste of Mystical Materials for the family. "
"Oh, I see." Lu Li understood. He thought about it and asked, "Is there anything going on in the family?"
"Nothing!"
Lu Feixue said with a frown, "Your Big Grandpa is out on an inspection. Lu Suan and Lu Ni are in cultivation. Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch are quiet as well."
"Lu Zhengtan is out?"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. He stood up and said, "I am going to ask Patriarch Eight for Mystical Materials for the Fate Wheel Realm. It is best that Lu Zhengtan is not here.
I will go now, aunt. "
"You are so rude. Call him Big Grandpa later."
Lu Feixue glared at Lu Li. She grinned when Lu Li left in a hurry.
Then, her expression became complicated again, and her beautiful eyes were filled with lingering worry.
Lu Li walked out in strides and went directly to the Hall of Patriarchs.
This time, he didn't send someone to report his arrival. Instead, he asked the escorts with a smile, "Who is in there?"
The escorts could tell that Lu Li was up to no good.
Of course, they didn't say anything. One of them said, "Patriarch Eight and Patriarch Four are here."
Lu Li beamed with joy and said, "Oh!
That's good. Go and report that I have good news. "
The escorts went in to report and then brought Lu Li in. Lu Li bowed to Patriarch Four and Patriarch Eight with respect and said, "Greetings, Patriarch Four, Patriarch Eight."
The two patriarchs looked at each other, feeling something was wrong. Lu Li must be up to no good by being so polite. Patriarch Eight said, "What good news?
If you lie to us, I will slap you! "
"Of course it is good news, ha, ha!"
Lu Li held his head high and said, "After days and nights of hard cultivation, I finally reached the peak of the Soul Pond Realm from the initial stage of the Soul Pond Realm in a month. Isn't this good news?"
The two patriarchs rolled their eyes. Lu Li had absorbed an entire pond of blood essence. His progress was within their expectations. What good news was this?
Seeing that the two didn't respond, Lu Li said with a grin, "Patriarchs, I am so diligent. Shouldn't you give me some rewards?
For example, top-level pellets, Holy Grade weapons and armors, Mystical Materials for reaching the Fate Wheel Realm, Heaven Serpent Fruit, Rising Dragon Grass, Soul Crystals … "
"Piss off!"
