Chapter 1212: Spirit Lifeblood

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking at the three dead immortals, Lu Li was filled with mixed feelings.

Once upon a time, he knew next to nothing about immortals. He thought immortals were omnipotent and would never die. He believed they could go anywhere they want and could wipe out billions with just a thought. They could topple the mountains and overturn the seas in a single blow and when they wanted to punish the world, the world would be gone…

Later, he came to know that the so-called immortals were just stronger beings. The more powerful immortals might be equipped with astounding skills. However, the average immortals were not that capable. At least, they did not enjoy real immortality, and they were not omnipotent.

Today, he and the Deaf Taoist killed three immortals, and it did not cost them much effort. Staring at the three corpses in front of him, Lu Li felt it was surreal. How could immortals be killed so easily?

Of course, things must be interpreted in contexts. If the three immortals were at the Heaven Reverse Universe, they would be second to none. To kill trillions of people in the Heaven Reverse Universe with no effort at all would be a piece of cake.

The mortal public even regarded Earth Immortal Realm warriors as immortals. On the other hand, for Lu Li, the immortals were his same kind. As an immortal, killing another immortal was just like when he ended Yan Zhen in the Heaven Reverse Universe…

“Burn the bodies!”

Lu Li came back to his senses after a moment. Though killing was not unusual in those mines and pits, he could not leave any tracks. When spotted, prefecture warriors would come to him. In public, the rules could not be violated.

The Deaf Taoist generated black flames from his hands to burn the bodies. Naturally, the three’s Interspatial Rings had to be removed. The Deaf Taoist handed the three rings to Lu Li who noticed that the rings were more advanced than his.

“There is a lot of Spring Gold in here!”

In total, there were over 20 pieces of Spring Gold in the three Interspatial Rings, along with other things that Lu Li did not care about. The three did not have many valuables since they didn’t even have Relics.

Lu Li put away the three Interspatial Rings after he took out the Spring Gold. The Deaf Taoist had burnt off the bodies and cleaned the blood.

“Let’s go!”

No matter how hard they tried to cover it up, there would always be some clues left behind. Lu Li waved his hand and hurried away with the Deaf Taoist. They walked around in the mines for an hour and found an out-of-the-way pit. They dug for several miles in. Afterward, the Deaf Taoist began to consume more Spring Gold while Lu Li stayed on guard.

Six hours later, the Deaf Taoist had consumed two more pieces of Spring Gold. His eyes were filled with excitement. Nodding to Lu Li, the Deaf Taoist said, “Lord, I have recovered to my peak state. My physical strength is even stronger than before. If I can consume more Spring Gold, my abilities can be improved further.”

“Sure. But you’ll have to wait.”

Lu Li nodded. The Deaf Taoist could not progress too rapidly, or it would invite unwanted attention. If word spread out, the prefecture warriors would notice. The Deaf Taoist was not a slave here. Lu Li could be in trouble.

“I will go back to turn in the Spring Gold. Go into the Wicked Bead and stabilize your situation.”

The Wicked Bead could not be put in use here randomly because people would covet. On the other hand, Lu Li was worried if the Deaf Taoist were to stay here by himself.

“No, lord, I will enter the spirit beast space.”

The Deaf Taoist shook his head. “If you run into enemies and take out the Wicked Bead, they will fight for it. But it is nothing uncommon for me to come out from the spirit beast space. It is normal for an immortal to own spirit beasts in the Divinity.”

“If you say so!”

Lu Li nodded. The Deaf Taoist became a shadow and vanished in between Lu Li’s eyebrows. There emerged a faint tattoo. It was the Deaf Taoist in his orc form.

It had been over 20 days since Lu Li went into the mines. If he knew the way back, he could go back up in half a day. However, there were so many intertwined mines and tunnels extending in all directions. Lu Li was afraid that he could not find his way back, so he had to start off a bit early.

He made the right choice. He walked around in there for half a day without finding his way. He ran into the team of immortals that ascended around the same time he did. They seemed to hold a grudge against him, and nobody talked to him.

Lu Li did not bother himself about this. He would go along any way he could find as long as he was heading up.

Over a day later, he finally walked out of the mines. He made the right decision when he decided to keep going up. The tunnels were interconnected. Sooner or later, he was bound to leave the mines and get back to the Valley of Vicissitudes.

He did not turn the Spring Gold over right away. He had several days left before the end of the month. It would be offending to someone else if he were to turn in the Spring Gold now, and he might become the target.

He went back to his room in the castle and decided to close his door for a couple of days and leave once the time limit was up.

During those days, he did not cultivate. Previously, he tried to cultivate in the mines, but he did not know how to. He had been pondering about this issue lately.

Before he became an immortal, he knew what to do in cultivation—to study Fundamental Principles!

Now he had learned two Fundamental Principles. He knew the two could evolve but for now, he did not know how. Apart from cultivating Xuan Energy… which had turned into Divine Energy, he was at a loss of what to do.

“If time permits it, I need to consult a powerful warrior!”

The time limit was almost up. Lu Li left his room. He saw that many people had returned in frustration. Clearly, they had not finished their job.

“Brother Li Lu!”

Lu Li looked to his left where the voice came from. It was a gloomy, brown-haired young man, the one that wanted to team up with him the other day, Su Zixi.

Su Zixi, calling Lu Li by his alias, came over with a smile. However, given his gloomy character, his smile was kind of cold. Cupping his fists, Su Zixi asked, “Brother Li Lu, have you finished your share?”

Seeing that many people were looking over, Lu Li did not give a direct answer. He used very vague words, “More or less. I just want to get it done. Brother Su, have you?”

“Of course!”

Su Zixi nodded. “Brother Li Lu, how many more do you need? I can loan you if it’s two or three pieces.”

“Swish, swish, swish~”

Many immortals stared at him with anticipation. Some of them hurried over and chatted with Su Zixi while putting big smiles on their faces. Some wanted to use their valuables to trade for Spring Gold or to borrow several pieces by buttering up to Su Zixi.

“Sorry! I do not know you. Take care.”

Su Zixi changed his expression and glared at the people around him coldly. He was an entirely different person than when he was talking to Lu Li.

Lu Li grinned. This Su Zixi was interesting. He nodded to Su Zixi and walked out. Su Zixi freed himself from the crowd and caught up to Lu Li. “Brother Li Lu, I have three extra pieces of Spring Gold. Take them if you need some. You can just give it back to me later if you have extras.”

There was no such thing as a free lunch!

On second thought, Lu Li didn’t think he had anything that would interest Su Zixi. Therefore, was this person really just wanted to be friends with him? Lu Li stopped. He looked at Su Zixi with doubt and asked, “Brother Su, why are you treating me so nicely? I haven’t done anything to deserve this. Tell me the reason, or I will have concerns.”

“Ha, ha!”

Su Zixi grinned mysteriously and said, “Brother Li, I have a special skill. There is a third eye hidden between my eyebrows. With it, I can… see spirit lifeblood. In the entire valley, Brother Li, your spirit lifeblood is the strongest. In other words… among all the people here in the valley, Brother Li, you will be the most accomplished person in the future. I want to be friends with you now, so once you are successful, I can gain your guidance and support, perhaps.”
