Lu Li’s praise was straightforward, and he was looking at her with fascination. Traces of blush appeared on her cheeks. She dropped her eyes, shook her head, and said, “Since I was young, I have learned never to blame heaven for injustice. I have been bequeathed with plenty already. Nothing is perfect. We must be content with our lot and be grateful.”
Yin Qingsi’s voice was clear and pleasant, and her words were touching. Lu Li nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. It is really nice chatting with you. But… I don’t have much time. I must get to the Central Imperial Universe.”
Yin Qingsi raised her head and asked, “Do you need help? My family is at the Central Imperial Universe. I think I can do you some favor.”
“Really?”
Lu Li was intrigued. If Yin Qingsi could get rid of the poison for him, then he wouldn’t need to go to the Central Imperial Universe. He could ask Yin Qingsi to assign someone to escort him back to the Inferno.
This idea excited Lu Li. Looking at Yin Qingsi with great joy, he said, “I have some poison in my bone marrow. Could you check it and see… if you can relieve me of it?”
“Poison?”
Yin Qingsi was taken aback. She sent her psychic power into Lu Li’s body to check on his bones.
Soon, her expressions changed. She checked for quite a while before she retracted her psychic power and said, “If I am right, this is the Walking Dead Venom. It was 5000 years ago when this venom was out there bringing hazard to the world. How can it be back?”
Lu Li became nervous at Yin Qingsi’s words. He asked, “It is incurable?”
“I… am not sure!”
Biting her lips, Yin Qingsi replied, “It is very difficult to make up the prescription for this cure. I don’t know who can cure it or what herbs are needed. This venom… I think you must take the cure every six months, right? I cannot go back to the Central Imperial Universe, not for half a year. So… I am sorry!”
A trace of disappointment rose in Lu Li’s eyes. His hope had just been kindled and it was killed off just like that. He said nothing. He kept silent so he could adjust his emotions.
Yin Qingsi felt awful. She dropped her eyes quietly and looked back up after a while and said, “Young Master Lu, go to the Central Imperial Universe. I will not forget about your problem. If I figure out how to cure it, I will go to you.”
Lu Li nodded but said nothing of appreciation. The two had saved each other’s lives, and words of gratefulness carried little meaning for them.
Standing up, Lu Li said, “If so, I think this is goodbye then. Take care, Young Lady Yin.”
Now that he knew Yin Qingsi was otherwise occupied, he could not bother her for long. What was more, this girl had her share of enemies. Lu Li felt insecure to be with her on the way…
“You take care as well. I have something to deal with, so I will not see you out.”
Yin Qingsi stood up. She handed a wooden hairpin to Lu Li and said, “I will go back to the Central Imperial Universe in a year. If you want to look for me, take this wooden hairpin to any Tsing Yi Cabinet. Someone will lead you to me.”
Lu Li was more than pleased to accept this wooden hairpin. He nodded in acknowledgment, cupped his fists, and then left. Yin Qingsi followed him out. Lu Li hopped on his Bead of Life, waved goodbye to her, and then set off to the west.
Yin Qingsi turned to Lu Li’s direction. When he had flown away, she sighed and said, “Young Master Lu, wait for me for a year when I come back alive from the Prison of Darkness. I will find a way to relieve you of that venom.”
“Whoosh~”
A Bead of Life emerged under her feet. She hopped on and soon vanished into the east.
…
“Full speed!”
Lu Li made sure that nobody was near him. The Bead of Life began to spin quickly. He had released Speed Profound Meaning to speed up to the maximum.
He couldn’t wait to find out how much progress he could make after reaching the Noble Lord Realm. Speed was one of the qualities he valued the most.
“Whoosh~”
However, as he sped up, he smashed into a mountain immediately. The mountain collapsed. He flew back up again, but was about to fly into another huge mountain…
“Stop!”
Lu Li controlled the Bead of Life to a stop. He was taken over by ecstasy, and his eyes glowed. His speed was so fast that he didn’t even have the time to get used to it. He was at least times faster than before.
Before he reached the Noble Lord Realm, he was already as fast as a warrior of the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. Now, he must be equivalent to the later stage in terms of speed. There had been a huge leap in his speed, a leap big enough for him to feel surprised.
“That is what I have hoped for!”
He grinned. Looking at the lifelike silver dragon mark on his Bead of Life, Lu Li felt his fondness toward it grew deeper and deeper.
Without a doubt, the silver dragon mark was the reason that his speed was increased markedly.
“What secret is contained in the silver dragon mark?”
The image of the plain animal tooth pendant that he wore for 15 years sprung to his mind. That magical animal tooth pendant had everything to do with the fact that he could successfully awaken the silver dragon Bloodline, all the peculiar things and the several Bloodline Skills he mastered.
The animal tooth pendant was given to him by Lu Renhuang and it had been with Lu Li since he was born. Lu Renhuang might be the only one with knowledge of the original of the animal tooth pendant.
But Lu Li was in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos and Lu Renhuang was nowhere to be found. Lu Li wasn’t even sure he could have the chance to meet his father. The idea took away his moment of overjoy from his heart.
Lu Li shook his head, getting rid of the concern over Lu Renhuang. Now was not the time to indulge in this thought.
He flew forward on his Bead of Life at the top of his speed. The fact that his speed was comparable to the level at the later stage of the Human Sovereign Realm had boosted his confidence. Average Human Sovereign Realm warrior, except for the particularly powerful ones, wouldn’t be able to catch up with him. His chances of survival had increased.
He finally became used to his rocketing speed after flying for a while. He took a look of his own body and realized that he had become stronger and his Xuan Energy was more profound. Other than that, nothing seemed to be different from before.
The major difference between the Noble Lord Realm and the Eternal Realm was about the Bead of Life, a bead that could bring about sea changes. To own Bead of Life in itself was the biggest improvement and progress.
With his body and realm enhanced, it would facilitate when he had to use the Rising Dragon Skill. Of course, he wouldn’t be so silly as to try it now when he had no enemies in sight…
“Move!”
Lu Li slowed the Bead of Life down. He flew close to the mountains, going back to being low-key. Old and peculiar warriors were many the Prison of Gold. As a new Noble Lord Realm warrior, he might be slashed to death for being too aggressive.
He flew for half a day. It had been safe even though he had encountered some Beasts of Primordial Chaos. He became bored when he remembered that…warriors were supposed to be closer to heaven and earth after owning the Bead of Life. It was said that learning Profound Meanings would become easier at this stage. U.p. dated by boxnovel. com
Lu Li sat on his Bead of Life with his legs crossed. He concentrated on the Bead of Life, trying to integrate himself with it to sense and the feel the world through the Bead of Life.
“Buzzing~”
The silver dragon on the Bead of Life began to hover around. All of a sudden, Lu Li was struck by a feeling—the world became particularly clear and in focus to him. He felt more connected to the world.
It was as if he had become the Bead of Life and had been fully immersed in the world. It was an amazing feeling that no word could describe when he first experienced using psychic power.
“Nice, this is really nice!”
Lu Li was delighted by the surprise. Somehow, he became more confident. He believed that with the Bead of Life, he could learn Profound Meanings fast, very fast…
