"Whoosh~"
Sounds of men flying out came out one after another above the Earth Dragon Island. Many of the shadows came flashing by from the distance, all identical ones. The shadows in front of the real person kept appearing one after another, and the ones behind him vanished gradually.
One, five, 10, 15, 18…
Lu Li could make 18 shadows now. The shadows could form a line of 100 meters. If Lu Li were to go around in circles, then he could be surrounded by the shadows. There was no way to tell the shadows from the real person, very freaky.
Hunchback Tian stood on the side, exclaiming to himself. This Xuan Skill Apparition really was miraculous. Too bad Lu Li wouldn’t allow Hunchback Tian to learn, otherwise, he could be greatly empowered.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li swung his Mighty Heaven Halberd and cut at the air in front of him. With his every move, all the shadows moved in the same way as well. The place was covered with shadows of the halberd, accompanied by the sounds of wind and a strong killing intent—it was so realistic that they could pass off as the real ones.
"Very nice!"
Lu Li kept moving to the sides as he swung his halberd. Hunchback Tian was getting dizzy looking at him. All he could see was Lu Li and the halberd. If it were just an average among the shadows, he would be freaking out.
Lu Li had been cultivating more diligently after Xu Sihe left. When he was not cultivating Xuan Energy, he was practicing Apparition. This Xuan Skill was wonderful as it would not only enhance Lu Li’s abilities but also protect him.
"Squeak~"
After a while, a cheerful scream came from afar. Little White ran over, soaking wet. It must have been fooling around in the lake.
"Whoosh!"
Little White rushed into the groups of shadows and went directly towards one of them. It managed to find the real Lu Li at once.
"This beast is shocking!"
Hunchback Tian looked at Little White passionately. He couldn’t even find where Lu Li was, but it could. The beast was fast and could break Fate Wheels. It must be a descendant of an ancient species.
Lu Li put his halberd away and picked Little White. The shadows disappeared one after another till there was only Lu Li left. Little White screamed in excitement with a dark red small stone between its teeth.
"You like this stone?"
Lu Li asked. Little White crushed the stone with several bites and nodded nonstop. Its eyes were filled with content as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
"Why did you eat it? I haven’t found somebody to find out what it is."
Lu Li was speechless. Where could he get this now that Little White ate it up? He looked at Little White and said, "So, where did you get this stone?"
"Squeak, squeak!"
Little White rushed into the distance. Lu Li waved to Hunchback Tian at once and said, "Come on."
Soon, they left the island following Little White. It dived into the lake and so did Lu Li and Hunchback Tian.
Little White didn’t go very far. After the time of an incense stick to burn, it reached the bottom of the lake. Then it sneaked into a small cave.
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked at each other, their eyes sparking. They followed Little White into the cave. After going forward for the time for half an incense stick to burn, Little White stopped. It pointed to the maroon-colored cave wall with its little paws and kept waving.
Then Little White grabbed on the wall. Its claws were sharp, so a piece quickly came off. Then it dug into the cave for several feet and came out with a maroon-colored stone between its paws.
"Let’s go!"
Lu Li waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice. Together with Hunchback Tian, he flew out to the Earth Dragon Island.
As soon as he landed, he handed the dark red diamond-shaped stone to Hunchback Tian and asked, "Do you know what kind of spar this is?"
Hunchback Tian studied it carefully and shook his head. "No, but it must have come from the volcano underneath the Earth Dragon Island. It must be a spar with the properties of fire."
"Go and look it up!"
Lu Li waved to Hunchback Tian who ran towards the Blood Evil Island. On the Dragon Elephant Mountain, there were dozens of catalogues of Mystical Materials that recorded all those of the Northern Desert. He should be able to find it out.
Lu Li took Little White back to his temporary residence where there were only two maids, not a single escort was there. Escorts would not do any good since Lu Li and Hunchback Tian were very capable themselves. Also, there were many Inhibition Formations here. As soon as a scout came in, they would be alarmed.
Three days had passed since Xu Sihe left. Nothing happened. Patriarch Seven had sent out many scouts to lurk within a more than 30 miles radius around the Blood Evil Island. They would report back as soon as anything happened.
According to the information gathered by the scouts, there were some bandits coming and going to the east of the God-down Island and they even attacked a Third-rank Island. The Xu Family’s army were constantly fighting with the bandits. It appeared to be so real…
Lu Li was not worried about the first and second round of attacks. Xu Chen was just warning him under order. At first, there wouldn’t be too many powerful warriors, so Lu Li still got time.
In two more months, Ye Cha could come out. Lu Li was confident that he could manage to survive the two months which was why he didn’t get too concerned.
He cultivated for two hours when Hunchback Tian came back. He had found out the name of the dark red spar that Little White dug out. It was called the Blood Flame Spar.
This kind of spar was unique to volcanoes, but it was not pricy. In the market, it would be about 100 Xuan Crystals per spar.
Little White liked this food. Lu Li wouldn’t hesitate to buy the spars even if it were 1000 Xuan Crystals a piece, let alone merely 100. Lu Li instantly asked Hunchback Tian to send a word to Patriarch Seven to buy some back.
Now that they could not go to the God-down Island, they couldn’t be teleported to the Heaven Prison Island. To make purchase would be harder.
However, Patriarch Seven was afraid to disobey Lu Li’s orders. Patriarch Seven soon arranged a patriarch of the Spirit Sea Realm to carry out this task in person. He sneaked into a county outside of the Thousand-island Lake to buy the Blood Fire Spars. At the same time, he planned to purchase some pellets and Mystical Materials to store for future use.
Lu Li kept on cultivating. His spirit sea was the size of a fist now with Xuan Energy surging in it. The Xuan Energy was on the verge of filling up the entire Spirit Sea.
The Spirit Sea was at its largest size. When the Xuan Energy could fill the Spirit Sea, Lu Li could start cultivating towards the Soul Pond Realm.
Lu Li’s eyes suddenly opened up after spending five quiet days in cultivation. He smiled. After such a long time of cultivation, he finally made it to the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The peak of the Spirit Sea Realm!
A realm that Lu Li couldn’t imagine himself at before. Patriarch Seven was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm. Once, that was a level he could not reach.
Lu Li didn’t know how many Heaven Xuan Pellets and Cyan Phoenix Pellets were consumed for him to get where he was now. In the old days, Lu Li couldn’t possibly get so many pellets even if he were the core disciple of the Liu Family, or married Liu Yi.
Lu Li asked Patriarch Seven to bring him the Mystical Grasses and pellets for the Soul Pond Realm after a day’s rest. He was ready now.
Granted, the bandits could attack at any time, but Lu Li still decided to do it. With every improvement of his power, the chances of him surviving would be higher. He had the assistance of many pellets, so, even if he could not succeed, his life wouldn’t be endangered.
"Hunchback Tian, if anything happens, handle it. Kill any bandits that dare to set foot on the Blood Evil Island. Once the fight breaks out, ask Liu Yi to stay on guard here. Only let Liu Yi inform me when you really cannot hold out any longer!"
Lu Li gave the last order before he went into his room. He activated the Inhibition Formation in his room and was ready to go towards the Soul Pond Realm in closed-door cultivation.
