Chapter 364: Take the Fortress Down
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Level five Mystic Armor!
That was really incredible. The King Kong Bloodline could not guarantee defense from the very beginning. Disciples must improve it by using a skill unique to the Lu Family.
Of course, after a disciple successfully awakened the King Kong Bloodline, he or she could reach level four or five after dozens of years or even one hundred years of cultivation even for the less talented.
Mystic Armors came with different colors for different levels. Similar to Bloodliness, the Mystic Armors could be red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black and golden.
In the history of the Lu Family, only the very first person that established the Lu Family ever reached level nine, golden Mystic Armor.
Even Lu Zhengyang was only at level eight. Gifted as Lu Renhuang was, his Mystic Armor was of the eighth level as well. The higher the level was, the more powerful the Mystic Armor was in defense. With Mystic Armor of level eight and a unique kind of Profound Meaning of the defense category, Lu Zhengyang was known to be the most powerful warrior with regard to his defense in the Central Plains. He ranked No. 9 on the Central Plains warlord list.
Lu Li had more understanding of the Mystic Armor after Lu Hongyu's explanation. Lu Lin was dealing with his wounds. He looked a bit pale. He said with a bitter smile, "Lu Li, you really are a freak. What the hell is this beast claw? Is it a secret skill? Or Bloodline Skill or something else?"
"Ancient secret skill!"
Lu Li had turned his beast claw back to his hand, but his sleeve was torn up so he went into his room and got changed. He walked out and said, "I got it from a tomb of an emperor at the Northern Desert. The roar you heard is also acquired there. It is also a kind of ancient secret skill."
Those were Lu Li's secrets. He didn't even tell Great Patriarch so he surely wouldn't tell Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu the truth.
"Impressive!"
Lu Lin nodded. Then he added with a forced smile on his face, "I have to go back. The Mystic Armor is broken by you so I have to rest for a couple of days. I will come and chat with you later. Um… I will show you around the Mystic Armor City later so you can make some friends."
"You and your evil associates."
Lu Hongyu threw Lu Lin a glance. Then without any reserved behaviors that should be found in a lady, she hugged Lu Li's shoulder and said, "Cousin Lu Li, I will introduce you to the beautiful ladies in the city. If you find anyone you fancy, just tell me. I will set you up. Ha, ha~"
Lu Li could not refuse their passionate invitations. He had to say yes. Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu then left.
Lu Li watched as they went. Seeing Ming Yu and Yu Huashen stood outside in silence, he asked, "Do you find it boring at the Lu Family?"
Ming Yu was a not a talkative person and he was cold inside. He shook his head and replied, "No. Everywhere is the same for me."
Yu Huashen, on the other hand, had mixed feelings. He had thought that coming back to the Lu Family with Lu Li would do much good to himself. But he realized now that Lu Li was not well received. He was only a slave and he was almost killed before, let alone gaining benefits.
Lu Li turned to Yu Huashen who quickly cupped his fists and answered, "I will be wherever Young Master is.''
"Alright!"
Lu Li smiled. He knew exactly what Yu Huashen was thinking. He patted Yu Huashen's shoulder and said, "Don't complain. In a couple of months, my sister will be back. If my grandpa can come out, it will be the best. I will set you free in a couple of months. You can go or stay as you like. Um… tell me what kind of Mystic Materials you will be using in cultivation. I think I can get the average ones, if not the expensive ones for you."
The higher the realm was, the more difficult cultivation would become. Without the support of a big family, cultivation would become a daunting task. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu should have few Mystic Materials left with them.
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu's eyes glowed. They were both not rich and they had nowhere to go to purchase Mystic Materials. They had been cooped up in the Rising Dragon Pavilion. If Lu Li could get them some Mystic Materials, it would be more than helpful to their cultivation.
Ming Yu didn't pretend to refuse. He made a list of Mystic Materials at once. Yu Huashen took a look and said with a nod, "That'll do. If you can get us two of each kind, it will be enough for us to cultivate for a year."
"Alright!"
Lu Li took the list and walked out. He found an escort, handed the list over and said, "Ask Patriarch Eight for those Mystic Materials, double them. Tell him I need those for my cultivation."
The escorts took a look and exclaimed to themselves. The young man was a piece of badass. Those Mystic Materials would cost at least several billions of Xuan Crystals…
Seeing that none of the escorts moved, Lu Li glared at them and said, "Why are you still here?"
The escorts almost shed tears. They gave the list back to Lu Li and replied, "Young Master, we cannot get those. You… you'd better go to the Hall of Patriarchs in person."
Lu Li thought about it and realized that it was too difficult for the escort to accomplish. He waved his hand and said, "Someone show me there. I will get those from the patriarchs myself."
The escorts felt they could breathe again. One of them led the way. This time, Lu Li behaved. He didn't fly. Actually, without Ming Yu and Yu Huashen, he couldn't.
He walked past many fortresses and buildings when he got out of the Rising Dragon Pavilion. He could meet members of the Lu Family everywhere. There were so many powerful warriors at the Mystic Armor Region that any elder could be at the Noble Lord Realm…
Many people along the way noticed Lu Li. Someone were looking at him from afar, pointing to him and discussing with others. Some saluted Lu Li with respect and called him young master.
Lu Li was very polite with those people. He would reply with a smile to whoever saluted him. Many people thought they were looking at the wrong person. Was he the cruel young master they met the other day?
Lu Li was very famous at the Lu Family right now. Of course, his cruelty was even more famous. How could a person be a kind man when he was bold enough to make a move at the Hall of Patriarchs and almost killed Qiu Wenze twice right in front of the patriarchs?
Lu Li finally reached the Hall of Patriarchs after taking many turns and walked for the time for several incense sticks to burn.
The holes on the walls were mended. There were four escorts of the Eternal Realm guarding outside. They became nervous out of instinct as soon as they saw Lu Li. One of them ran inside to report immediately.
Lu Li didn't go in rashly this time. He waited outside patiently. After a moment, that escort came back out and said, "Young Master, Patriarch Eight said you can go in now."
"Thank you!"
Lu Li smiled and walked in. But the four escorts were stunned. Did Lu Li just say thank you to them?
There were few people at the Hall of Patriarchs. It was possible that Lu Fenghuo and other patriarchs would only come when something went wrong. Only Patriarch Eight was here.
Lu Li stepped into the hall, cupped his fists and saluted Patriarch Eight, "How do you do, Patriarch Eight."
"Save it."
Patriarch Eight was drinking tea. He threw Lu Li a glance and said, "Okay, what do you want now?"
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li walked over to Patriarch Eight, took a seat and helped himself with some tea. He handed over a list and said, "Nothing much, just some Mystic Materials, not worth mentioning. Patriarch Eight, you know that I can only come back after I borrowed many Xuan Crystals. I am so poor. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to bother you. Oh…I also want a share of Mystic Materials to reach the Noble Lord Realm. You know, just Rising Dragon Grass and the stuff."
Patriarch Eight took a glance and said with a gloomy face, "Fan Li Leaf, Dragon Scorpion Power… those are regular ones? You want Rising Dragon Grasses? Lu Li, you have blood essence in you and that is the most precious elixir. You should focus on cultivation now. Those Mystic Materials won't do you any good. Don't waste our resources."
Lu Li had no choice but to tell the truth. He sighed and said, "Those are for my two slaves. They have almost met death for so many times with me and they have escorted me back. I cannot treat them badly. The Mystic Materials for Noble Lord Realm are for my aunt. Patriarch Eight, I am here in person. Can you just do me this favor?"
"No!"
Patriarch Eight said with a straight face, "We have our rules and hardships. If everyone comes here and asks for so many things like you, the Lu Family will go bankrupt no matter how wealthy we are. You don't know how the Lu Family is in recent years…"
"Fine. Don't waste your time." Lu Li's expressions grew cold. He took the list back directly, stood up and started walking outside.
Patriarch Eight was terrified. What would he do now? Patriarch Eight shouted in a cold voice, "Stop there, Lu Li, what do you think you are doing?"
"Nothing!" Lu Li shrugged his shoulder. He turned back and said, "Great Patriarch promised me that I can get whatever I want. Since you turned me down, I have to go and ask him. If he refuses, I will take down his fortress…"
"I dare you!"
Patriarch Eight was blue in his face. The punk didn't stop at making a scene at the Hall of Patriarchs and now he wanted to make trouble at the residence of Great Patriarch?
Patriarch Eight thought about it. Finally, he said with a gloomy face, "Give me the list. This is a one-time thing. I will skin you for your grandpa if you dare to act like this again."
