Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue left. Lu Li accidentally saw Bai Xiashuang peeing, which made her too ashamed to see anyone.
After Lu Li ran away, she flew back to the Heaven Prison City in tears. Bai Qiuxue was worried about Bai Xiashuang so she had to go with her.
Lu Li could not explain this. He could not just go into a girl's bedroom.
Lu Li thought Bai Xiashuang was drunk and he wanted to have some time with Bai Qiuxue, which was not wrong …
He couldn't even apologize or face Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. He had to put it aside.
Time could dilute it. He could make it up to Bai Xiashuang and give some benefits to the Bai Family.
Lu Li had mastered the Speed Profound Meaning, but it didn't mean that he was fine. He had to go further.
There was still much he didn't understand. More importantly — he didn't know how to use it to enhance his abilities.
He made up his mind to continue cultivating here. Ming Yu would come over every once in a while and tell him about the situation at the Northern Desert. It made no difference whether he was at the Ling Empress City or here.
Lu Li didn't see any tornado after a day's rest. He decided to cultivate for a couple of days to cultivate his Xuan Energy and Soul Pond.
Now that he had mastered the Profound Meaning, he didn't have to worry about the rest.
He needed to improve his realm. It had been more than half a year since the last time he made a Fate Wheel. His realm was stable and he could try to reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm and build the next one.
The tornado came again after he cultivated for half a month. Ye Cha woke Lu Li up.
Lu Li went into the tornado and studied for a day. Lu Li wanted to put the Speed Profound Meaning into practice. However, he accidentally caused the tornado to collapse again.
Without the tornado, Lu Li couldn't learn anything. He had to come back to cultivate his Xuan Energy and Soul Pond.
He was ready to reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm anyway, so he needed to improve his Xuan Energy and Soul Energy.
Lu Li was cultivating Xuan Energy at a fast speed, 100 times faster than before.
He bought a batch of pellets from the Pavilion of Delicacy, named Pellets of Delicacy, which were made by the Pavilion of Delicacy themselves.
The pellets were the best of the Central Plains. If it were not for Jiang Qiling, he wouldn't be able to buy them even if he had the Xuan Crystals.
She offered a low price, ten thousand Xuan Crystals for one. That was a friendly price. It would be at least thirty thousand Xuan Crystals.
Lu Li needed to consume 10 Pellets of Delicacy a day for his cultivation. In other words, he had to squander 100,000 Xuan Crystals a day, or three million Xuan Crystals a month.
What did three million Xuan Crystals mean?
Those were a few Holy Grade Xuan Artifacts, and they were calculated according to the friendship price of the Linglong Elixir. If they were calculated according to the market price, it would cost tens of millions of Xuan Crystals a month.
Lu Li was only at the Fate Wheel Realm. In the future, he would need more pellets and Xuan Crystals would be consumed like running water.
Without the support of some forces, it would take Lu Li years to reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm …
How did Jiang Qiling cultivate so fast? How did Lu Renhuang become the most talented genius of the Central Plains in the past one hundred thousand years?
That was because they had two royal families backing them, and they had endless resources.
Lu Li came to the Northern Desert for resources. If it were not for the emperor of the Northern Desert, how could he afford the Pellets of Delicacy?
Also, he needed to cultivate his Soul Pond. Soul Crystals were being consumed like water …
A genius was built on countless Mystical Materials. Without Mystical Materials, no matter how talented a genius was, he would be useless.
If Jiang Qiling didn't give him Mystical Materials and he had to get them himself, he would be killed sooner or later with such a bad temper.
Lu Li didn't have much concept of Xuan Crystals. Anyways, they were the best for cultivation.
As far as he was concerned, power was everything. It was easy to get Xuan Crystals when he was powerful.
At the very worst, he could just kill and loot or wipe out a big family.
The Northern Desert was peaceful. Life was peaceful. He would cultivate when he had nothing to do. When there was a tornado, he would go in to study Profound Meanings.
Sometimes, he would sit on the deck, enjoying the lake breeze, missing Lu Ling, Lu Renhuang and his mother, and Bai Qiuxue.
But he didn't dare to go see Bai Qiuxue just yet. What if she was still angry?
Another two months passed.
Ming Yu came again with three pieces of news, none of which was good!
Many people were sent into the Ice Abyss, but none came out. All of them had made their Jade Talismans of Life, but all of them … had their Jade Talismans of Life broken without exception. They were all dead.
"All dead?
More than 100 people were sent down? "
Lu Li's face was clouded. According to Lu Ling's estimation, Lu Renhuang was alive and well. He should be in the Ice Abyss.
How come all the people he sent down died?
There were only two possibilities. First, they died before they reached the bottom of the Ice Abyss.
Second, they didn't find Lu Renhuang when they reached the bottom of the Ice Abyss and were killed.
If they were to encounter Lu Renhuang, he would definitely protect them.
Lu Renhuang would ask Lu Li and learn that Lu Li had become an emperor at the Northern Desert. Maybe Lu Renhuang would contact Lu Li and figure out a way to get out together.
Now that everyone was dead, Lu Li didn't know what to do.
He wasn't so stupid as to go down himself or send Ming Yu down …
"What about the second piece of news?"
Lu Li sighed. He had to wait. He would send Human Sovereign Realm warriors down after he conquered the Deserted World.
Ming Yu said bitterly, "I heard from the Pavilion of Delicacy that they have checked all the powerful warriors of the Great Land and only found three that learned Holy Light Profound Meaning.
One died five years ago, one was a nun from the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries and the other one was one of the Arhats of the Great Buddhist Temple.
But that Arhat of the Great Buddhist Temple has been meditating for 100 years and never left.
The nun from the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries is dying of old age. She hasn't left the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries for 50 years. The Pavilion of Delicacy has sent people to two places to confirm that they didn't kidnap Lady Ling. "
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. He said coldly, "Is there a mistake?
Or is it that the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries and the Great Buddhist Temple are hiding this on purpose?
Or are there other powerful warriors that have learned Holy Light Profound Meaning that they haven't found? "
Ming Yu shook his head and said, "There is no mistake. Jiang Hong came in person. He said that Lady Jiang has asked about this and the Hall of Intelligence has investigated several times. They asked the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries and the Great Buddhist Temple in person.
They also confirmed through other means that the two haven't left recently.
As for whether there are other powerful warriors that have learned Holy Light Profound Meaning, I don't know … "
Lu Li smashed a table with his fist and shouted, "Find out. We will find out ourselves. I don't care how many Xuan Crystals we have to spend."
To Lu Li, Lu Ling was more important than his own life.
Powerful warriors that had learned Holy Light Profound Meaning was the only clue.
Lu Li could not accept this fact. Therefore, he didn't want to rely on the Pavilion of Delicacy. He wanted to find out on his own. He didn't feel comfortable owing Jiang Qiling a favor.
Ming Yu thought about it and said, "There is a way. We can go to the Sanctuary and offer a huge reward. Maybe we can find some clues soon."
"Sanctuary?"
