Chapter 201: Valued Treasure
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The Interspatial Ring was large, 10 times larger than the one of Lu Li’s. The space inside was the size of a castle.
There was not much inside, pretty empty, with only more than dozens sorts of Mystical Materials, among which, though, Lu Li found three very familiar ones.
The Heaven Serpent Fruits!
Three Heaven Serpent Fruits would be worth more than 100 million Xuan Crystals. The three Heaven Serpent Fruits were placed among all other Mystical Materials instead of being in jade boxes.
What did it mean?
It meant that the other Mystical Materials were of the same rank of Heaven Serpent Fruits. The most critical thing was… there were six jade boxes. Whatever in the jade boxes must be more precious than the Heaven Serpent Fruits.
"Thirty-four, 35, 36!"
Lu Li counted and there were 36 Mystical Materials. He only knew the Heaven Serpent Fruits, not the others. If every single one was as valuable as the Heaven Serpent Fruit, then all of them together would be priceless.
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li poured Xuan Energy into the ring and six jade boxes in his hand. He opened the boxes with trembling hands. In the first jade box was a Mystical Grass, very beautiful, like a mini dragon golden in color.
As soon as he opened the jade box, a profound fragrance spread out. Lu Li felt so comfortable smelling it. It must be some top notch Mystical Material. Lu Li closed the box after one look, for fear that the efficacy might be defused.
"Eh? The six boxes are all the same?"
Lu Li opened them one by one and realized that the stuff in the six were identical, dragon-shaped golden Mystical Grasses. He murmured in doubt, "What is this stuff?"
He knew next to nothing about Mystical Materials and elixirs. He had to put away the jade boxes into the Interspatial Ring and it into his own Interspatial Ring.
"I am rich!"
He clenched his teeth with his face blushing, hardly being able to restrain himself from excitement. Only the three Heaven Serpent Fruits would be worth more than 100 million Xuan Crystals, let alone all the other Mystical Materials combined. The real value of the Mystical Materials in the Interspatial Ring would be hard to reckon.
"The Interspatial Ring from the Divine Weapon of Dragon King really is a piece of valued treasure!"
Lu Li nodded. Then he thought of something—the Interspatial Ring hanging on the handle of the Divine Weapon, was it placed there by some demon on purpose? Trying to seduce someone to try to get the Divine Weapon out?
"All the hidden treasures are in the Coffin of Dragon King. How many treasures are in there?"
It was beyond imagination. Lu Li sighed, feeling pitiful. If it were not for some demon, all the treasures would probably be his.
That being said…
Bai Qiuxue, Du Ziling, and Zi Lian had got to the peak first. Without the demon, Du Ziling and the others would have probably acquired all the treasures. Lu Li wouldn’t get anything.
"This is good, very good~"
Lu Li felt the trip to the Tomb of Dragon King rewarding, even if he provoked the Yu Family. It was unlikely that the Yu Family would send assassins to the Thousand-island Lake? It would anger the Old Man of Heaven Prison completely and the Yu Family could face complete destruction.
"Right…"
Lu Li then thought about the mysterious powerful warrior, doubts filling his mind. Chief Steward Bai told him what happened later. Still, he felt something was not right…
So judging by the looks of it, there was some old freak in closed-door cultivation in the lake. Then Bai Leng and the others fighting there alerted the old freak. Right at the moment that Lu Li was about to be killed, the old freak could stand it no longer so he made a random attack and shocked everyone there.
What the old freak said at the end wasn’t heard by Lu Li since by then he had fainted. Chief Steward Bai told Lu Li about it later.
Lu Li still felt it couldn’t quite add up. Was he really that lucky? It just so happened that an old freak was in closed-door cultivation at the bottom of the lake? Then the old freak was at the Noble Lord Realm? And he hated injustice as his enemy? On top of that, he couldn’t see anyone from outside bullying people of the Thousand-island Lake?
If this old freaky hated injustice so much, it was not likely that nobody heard a thing about him in so many years. According to the words of Chief Steward Bai, the Bai Family didn’t get any information about this old freak.
A powerful warrior of the Noble Lord Realm, a one that had perceived "Force", and he remained so unknown? How could he remain such a low-key? This was not right.
What if it was not a coincidence?
So, could it be done…on purpose?
This one was trying to save him? The matter would be burdened with more doubts under this case. He knew no warrior of the Noble Lord Realm. Even the most powerful warriors in the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race were only at the peak of the Eternal Realm.
Then there was another possibility. Was this man left behind by his father Lu Renhuang to save him?
It didn’t make any sense. Lu Li had been in so many troubles and Lu Ling even died once. If Lu Renhuang arranged somebody to protect them, then why didn’t he do anything before? Why didn’t he show up the night at the Wu Ling County when Lu Ling was burnt to death?
He couldn’t figure this out!
Lu Li again felt the matter riddled with mystery. He had a feeling that there was some huge secret buried in this matter. Yet at this moment, he was not of enough power to poke through the veil. He had a feeling that when his power reached a certain stage, maybe he could unsolved all the mysterious.
Nothing much left to think about.
Lu Li focused on healing his wound, leaving all the messy things aside. Things always turned out well. As for what would happen next, he would take measures according to the actual situation. At least he had a way out now since he could get into the small world of the Cyan Phoenix Race.
After healing for half a day, some maids sent over some delicious food at evening. Chief Steward Bai went and checked on him one more time, with such good attitude.
Lu Li could stand up after a fashion after being fully fed. Some maids helped him to the bathroom where he took an amazing bath. The maids even offered to help him in the bath, to which he said no.
Refreshed with the bath, Lu Li felt his wounds were getting better after days of recovery. He thought he could get back to the Blood Evil Island after three or five days.
Since he never really thought about joining the Bai Family, Lu Li felt uncomfortable living here. He aspired to get back to the Blood Evil Island as soon as possible to have Hunch Back Tian to see the scroll and the parchment. He also wanted to find some files in secret to identify the Mystical Materials in the Interspatial Ring and the golden dragon-shaped grass in the jade boxes.
Lu Li went back to his room after he toured around the castle. Little White woke up from its nap and Lu Li fed some Fire Jade Spars which Little White gobbled down with delight.
"Lord Lu!"
Some maid suddenly went in to repot, "Lady Qiuxue is here to see you. Do you want to see her in your room or outside?"
"Outside."
Lu Li could walk now. He felt embarrassed to receive a guest in his own room. He walked out slowly, and was showed to the side chamber by the maid.
Bai Qiuxue was sitting there, wearing a light yellow dress with laces around the hem. On her earlobes were two purple beads, and she was wearing a purple gem necklace. The jewelry matched with her eyes. Lu Li couldn’t take his eyes off her as soon as he got in.
Seeing Lu Li walking in and suddenly stopping at the door, staring at her bluntly, Bai Qiuxue felt her face flushing. Under the candle light, she looked so beautiful, second to none.
The maid dared not to alarm Lu Li. After the time for two breaths, Lu Li regained his composure. He coughed lightly embarrassingly and said, "Sorry, Lady Qiuxue, you are so stunning tonight. I am forgetting my manners."
It was not news for Bai Qiuxue to hear praises like this. Yet this time, she felt something unusual. She usually would be very confident in handling this kind of situation. However, this moment, she knew not what to say, other than nodding with a blush.
Lu Li walked to the chair next to Bai Qiuxue with the help of the maid and sat down. The maid retreated after she served tea.
Lu Li didn’t reserve himself. He took a sip of tea and said, "Lady Qiuxue, you are amazing tonight. I am speaking from my heart. And…what do you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing that Lu Li acting so freely and his eyes clear as water, Bai Qiuxue was surprised that he didn’t feel ill at ease or overly cautious at all.
So Lu Li had zero romantic feeling toward her? Just pure admiration? Otherwise why was he acting like all the other young masters? When all the other young masters sat next to her, they were so tense and would hold their breaths for fear that they might say something wrong.
On this thought, Bai Qiuxue felt a little disappointed. For the first time, she had doubts about her own charm.
