Chapter 206: Bold Idea
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The name Rising Dragon Grass left a deep impression on Lu Li because when Ye Cha said one plant of Rising Dragon Grass could be sold at a price of 800 or one billion Xuan Crystals, freaking Lu Li out.
Now he had six of them? Wouldn’t they be worth several billion Xuan Crystals? On top of that, there were 36 other Mystical Materials that would be worth at least more than one billion. Lu Li did some rough calculation and realized all the Mystical Materials in the Interspatial Ring altogether would be worth at least 6 billion Xuan Crystals.
“Grunt, grunt!”
Lu Li swallowed some saliva, feeling like a nouveau rich. Several billion Xuan Crystals, how should he spend them? Which Realm could he get with all those? One attempt at the Fate Wheel Realm would only require three million Xuan Crystals. How many times could he try with so many?
Lu Li hadn’t fully come to his senses. He remembered not long ago, he was pulling coffins at the Wu Ling County just for one tiny Body Refinement Pellet. It hadn’t been long, but now he had several billion Xuan Crystals…
“How good it would be if I had so many Xuan Crystals at the Di Long Tribe?”
Lu Li thought to himself. If he had so many Xuan Crystals back then, he would have gotten away to faraway places with Lu Ling. They wouldn’t have to suffer so much, or join the Liu Family which ultimately caused Lu Ling to go off to the Cyan Plains.
Of course, this was wishful thinking. How could he possibly get so many Xuan Crystals then?
Soon, he calmed down from the crazy ideas on the thought of Lu Ling. He could not afford to have his mind clouded by the Mystical Materials. Power was the most critical thing. Without enough power, he could die at any minute. The billions of Mystical Materials would fall to the hands of others.
“Will the Yu Family seek revenge?”
He once again remembered this issue. Even though theoretically speaking, the Yu Family wouldn’t dare to send anyone into the Thousand-island Lake, but what if?
After he pondered for the time for one incense stick to burn, he decided to move to the Earth Dragon Island.
In the meantime, he planned to establish many Inhibition Formations there. Once there were enemies in, he could get into that small world at once.
There were nine warriors at the peak of the Eternal Realm in that small world. The combination of the Mammoth Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race was the strongest of all. When the powerful warriors of the two races moved out at the same time, even a Noble Lord Realm wouldn’t fare so well.
“Hunchback Tian!”
He shouted and Hunchback Tian got in. Lu Li asked him to have Patriarch Seven secretly make some arrangements at the Earth Dragon Island and Lu Li told him again and again that this must remain confidential.
Then he could have two strings to his bow. On the surface, he would be living at the Dragon Elephant Mountain and he could also prepare some Inhibition Formations at the Dragon Elephant Mountain. If there were some incoming attacks, he could get some early-warning signs from the Dragon Elephant Mountain.
Hunchback Tian accepted the order and left. Soon afterwards, Patriarch Seven came in person. He started laying out the Inhibition Formations after he sought advice from Lu Li.
The Liu Family was not in need of Xuan Crystals. With Lu Li’s animal tooth pendant, the Liu Family could sell a batch of Nether World Roots, Fire Fairy Ganoderma, and many Blood Caterpillar Fruits every month, which could rake in millions of Xuan Crystals for the Liu Family. To build a secret temporary palace at the Earth Dragon Island and some Inhibition Formations was easy.
Lu Li couldn’t concentrate on cultivation after Patriarch Seven left. All he could think about was the arrangement at the Earth Dragon Island and what he should do if anything happened.
“How about… I give the Rising Dragon Grasses to Ye Cha?”
A bold idea came to Lu Li’s mind. Ye Cha once said that they were lacking several Mystical Materials so they couldn’t break through to the Noble Lord Realm. One of the most important one was the Rising Dragon Grass.
If…
He were to give the Rising Dragon Grass to them, it would be a tremendous force if three or four of them, if not six, could reach the Noble Lord Realm. With warriors at the Noble Lord Realm protecting him, no matter how many assassins the Yu Family sent, all of them would die.
Also… in that case, he could leave the Northern Desert for the Central Plains any time he wanted to go to look for Lu Ling.
Lu Ling was shaking with excitement thinking this. Ye Cha and the others could not get out as they were bounded by the Inhibition Formation. Once they reached the Noble Lord Realm, thought, they could leave and go back as they will. Then Lu Li could go anywhere he desired to go in the world.
“Father, mother, and my dear sister, soon I will be able to look for you.”
Lu Li took a deep breath, stood up and left. A streak of cold air breezed through after he went out of the fortress. He suddenly stopped. He seemed to have come to his senses because of the cold wind.
“No, I cannot be so impulsive!”
He calmed down. There were too many doubts about the small world of the Mammoth Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race. What if it was some kind of trap? What if he was murdered by some scheme the two races devised because he sent the two races top level elixirs?
The more Lu Li knew, the more he was in fear and awe of the world. The world was filled with too many dangers. One wrong move could mean dying without a proper burial ground.
Hunchback Tian said the Mammoth Race was born to be less intelligent, in other words, silly. But the Cyan Phoenix Race was famous for being sly. If he was trapped by an evil plan, not only would he lose his Rising Dragon Grasses, he could lose his life as well.
What was more, the inscription on the stone tablet said that he was the Saint Lord of the two races. Lu Li still found it hard to believe in as the thing was too absurd.
He stood on the top of the mountain for nearly half a day before he straightened his head out. He had thought of an idea.
“Hunchback Tian!”
Lu Li shouted. Hunchback Tian appeared like a ghost. Lu Li didn’t look at him while he questioned him in a low voice, “Do you think I can trust the Cyan Phoenix Race?”
Hunchback Tian was confused as to why Lu Li suddenly mentioned the Cyan Phoenix Race.
He thought about it and replied, “Based on what they did before, I think they are trustworthy. At least… they don’t seem to want anything else from you, my Master.”
Lu Li didn’t respond to this. He asked again after some consideration, “Can you get some information about the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race? Detailed information.”
“No problem.”
Hunchback Tian said, “The two races are famous. There are many records on ancient books. Buy any ancient books and we can find the information.”
“Go ahead!” Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Ask Patriarch Seven to get the most detailed information. Keep it confidential. Nobody else can know.”
Hunchback Tian rushed down the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Lu Li again sunk into deep thoughts as he stood on the peak of the mountain. This time, it was after dark when he returned to his fortress.
The next day, Patriarch Seven delivered Lu Li a scroll of ancient text in person. Lu Li had some understanding about the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race now that he browsed through it.
Ye Cha didn’t lie. The two races really were once famous races in the Central Plains. They dominated a region for 100,000 years.
Five thousand years ago, the Central Plains were suddenly seized by the current six families. The two races were destroyed. In the book, it read all the disciples of the two races died, so the outside world didn’t know that the remaining warriors of the two races were hiding in the small world.
Lu Li said nothing for a whole. He suddenly shouted towards the darkness, “Hunchback Tian!”
Hunchback Tian lived in the stone fortress on the Dragon Elephant Mountain. He soon came to Lu Li. The latter waved his hand and said, “Go, take me to the Earth Dragon Island and go into that small world. Remember… don’t let anyone have any idea about where we are going.”
“The small world?”
Hunchback Tian was confused. What was Lu Li doing going to that small world? Hunchback Tian was afraid to ask, though. He nodded and said, “No problem.”
Grabbing Lu Li with one hand, Hunchback Tian rushed out of the island under the cover of the dark night. The route he chose was out of the normal way. The Inhibition Formations were basically built under his instructions so he naturally wouldn’t activate any.
They secretly sneaked out the Blood Evil Island and landed on the Earth Dragon Island in silence. Granted, there were scouts here, but how could they discover Hunchback Tian?
The two got down the volcano and entered the underground river tunnel. Instead of letting Hunchback Tian go in, Lu Li asked him to stay on guard at the underground river and to inform him at once by breaking a jade talisman should anything happen.
Lu Li got down to the underground lake by himself. He used his Xuan Energy to trigger the Inhibition Formation, and he was once again teleported into the small world.
It was still in the forest that he appeared last time, yet this time, there were people guarding this place. Two warriors of the Cyan Phoenix Race appeared. They knelt down immediately after seeing Lu Li and said, “Greetings, Saint Lord!”
Lu Li nodded and waved his hand. “Show me to your Clan Leader!”
