Chapter 69: Being Targeted

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The process of opening up his energy channel was going on smoothly. In just a day and a half, all Lu Li’s energy channels were opened up. His Xuan Energy could now circulate freely all around his body.

However, when he reached the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm, Lu Li was a bit lost. He had no idea how to condense Spirit Sea, neither did Lu Ling. One couldn’t just try to figure this out by oneself and do it randomly.

The Liu Family was recently quiet. Nobody tried to find him any trouble. Lu Li didn’t bother to go out either. He put the Spirit Sea stuff aside and started cultivating the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill.

Lu Ling stayed in their yard all day as well. She would read and, from time to time, she would chat with Cheng Qu’s wife. Her life was quite comfy and cozy.

Apart from eating and sleeping, Lu Li spent all his time trying to understand the mystery of the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill. He had underestimated the sophistication of an Earth Grade Xuan Skill. He retreated to close-door cultivation for ten days but the progress was slow.

"How come the Xuan Power I managed to cultivate will just disappear instantly?"

The essence of the Rolling Thunder Xuan Energy cultivation was the Xuan Power. Only after Xuan Power was cultivated could one increase their strength. The condensation of Xuan Power was thoroughly depicted in the methods. The way was to press the Xuan Energy and condense it into a "special" Xuan Power.

Lu Li spent days and managed to condense many strands of Xuan Power, but on every occasion, after he successfully condensed it, the Xuan Power would collapse immediately back into Xuan Energy.

Where did the problem lie?

Lu Li did not know. He could not work this out. He had followed the instructions on the booklets completely without a single mistake, but all the Xuan Power he managed to cultivate would collapse and vanish.

"Creak~"

The door was opened. Lu Ling came in. Seeing that Lu Li was upset, she smiled and said, "If the path is not available now, try another one. Don’t get stuck in this dead end. Come out and have a walk. You’ve been cooped up in the room for too long."

"Go out?"

Lu Li shook his head. "I cannot go out of the Liu Family. There are so many places in the Liu Family that I am not allowed to set my foot in. What is there to see?"

"You must go to the Hall of Weapons. Little White is out of food." Lu Ling thought about it and continued, "You can also go to the Hall of Cultivation Methods and try to find some Secret Warrior Books on methods or experience of condensing Spirit Sea. Since you have made not much progress with regards to the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill, you might just as well think of something to condense Spirit Sea first."

"Right!"

Lu Li quite agreed. He stood up and went out. Little White that was in the corner leaped towards him like a white shadow. It crawled onto Lu Li’s shoulder and screamed. It seemed like that it was telling Lu Li that it had nothing to eat in a wordless way.

"Okay, okay. I will bring you to find more food now."

Lu Li fondly held Little White in his hands and caressed the manes on its head with a smile. The little guy had eaten all those abandoned Xuan Artifacts, yet it did not grow a bit. It was still of the size of a fist. Lu Li knew nothing to say about that.

Hiding Little White in his sleeve, Lu Li went out of the yard and walked towards the Hall of Weapons. Patriarch He looked at him indifferently. Just as Lu Li was about to enter the room with all the abandoned Xuan Artifacts, Patriarch He suddenly said, "Recently, the Family is prepared to go to wall. We are lacking in all kinds of resources. The Hall of Patriarch of the family has given their orders—everything the Guest Warriors want to trade will cost double the contribution points. It is the same for abandoned Xuan Artifacts."

"Double?"

Lu Li stopped and looked towards Patriarch He. Seeing Patriarch He turn his head away with a guilty conscience, Lu Li understood it all.

So him turning Liu Yi down had angered the Hall of Patriarchs of the Liu Family. The Liu Family had started to target him. Scarce resources? All Guest Warriors? These were just excuses.

What kind of resources abandoned Xuan Artifacts were. These abandoned Xuan Artifacts were rusty. Which warriors in the family would use it? Apart from being melted down and refined again, what good could they do?

"Kid, don’t look at me like this." Patriarch He was stared on by Lu Li for a while now. He said with some uneasiness, "This is the order of the Hall of Patriarchs. There is nothing I can do."

"Oh, okay!"

Lu Li answered and left. He didn’t have many contribution points. He only had more than 5000 contribution points left, so he couldn’t get Little White food anymore. Lu Li decided to see how many contribution points it would cost for methods of condensing Spirit Sea first.

He circled in the front yard and found the Hall of Cultivation Methods. An old lady was guarding it. She did not look at Lu Li differently after he went in, but as soon as Lu Li showed his ID Token, she looked gloomy. She threw the ID Token to Lu Li and said, "You don’t have the access to go to the second floor. The booklets on the first floor will cost you 10,000 contribution points per day."

"10,000?"

Lu Li almost cursed. This place looked like the Hall of Xuan Skills. Clearly, there were no high level methods or experience on the first floor, but it would cost 10,000 contribution points to borrow these booklets for a day? The intention was too clear.

Lu Li did not try to argue. It would be useless. He thought about it and asked, "I just want to read for two hours. How much contribution points will it cost?"

As long as he could find the methods to condense his Spirit Sea, two hours would be enough.

The old woman considered about it and said, "According to the rules of the Hall of the Cultivation Methods, you must borrow for it for at least a day. But since you are still so young, I can make an exception for you. You can browse in there for two hours for 2000 contribution points."

"2000?"

Lu Li unwillingly handed his ID Token and walked inside. There were two big rooms inside. On the first look, Lu Li started swearing.

He was fooled. All that were in this room were cultivation methods of low levels for cultivating Xuan Energy. He had the War God Album of the Lu Family. The culvtivation methods here were of no use to him.

But since he was here, Lu Li picked up a Xuan Heaven Method and started reading. Soon, he shook his head and put the booklet back. The Xuan Heaven Method was of such a low level. It was nothing compared to the War God Album. Also, all he had was just the first paragraph of the War God Album.

This time, Lu Li did not linger on. He went out of the first room and entered the second one. He was relieved after he got in. In this room, there were all kinds of cultivation attainment records left by predecessors. There would definitely be something he wanted.

He picked up a Liu Yuanlong Record and started browsing. The characters inside were illegible, and Lu Li could hardly read it. After a while, he had a headache. It was so chaotic without order. It was all about how to open up energy channels and cultivate Xuan Energy and body refining. There was no description about condensing Spirit Sea.

Lu Li put it down and picked up another. There was something about condensing Spirit Sea but very little...

The third one was even worse. It seemed to have been written by a warrior at the middle stage of the Xuan Wu Realm. There was no description about the Spirit Sea Realm.

Lu Li moved on. There was something about the Spirit Sea Realm in the fourth one, but it was all about how difficult it was to condense Spirit Sea. It taught people how to find a herb called Perovskia, or use Earth Grade pellets to stabilize one’s spirit. But it mentioned nothing about condensing Spirit Sea...

Even though Lu Li knew that the booklet on the first floor was of the lowest levels, he was disappointed all the same. He held his horses and went on one by one. By the time he got to the 28th book, his eyes finally lit up.

"There is it!"

He found methods of condensing Spirit Sea on a yellowish booklet. It was described in detail. Lu Li held it as if he had found treasure. He studied it word by word and wanted to engrave every step on his mind.

"Creak, creak..."

When Lu Li was about to finish, the door was pushed open. The old lady stood by the door and said with a straight face, "Time is up. If you want to continue, you must give more another 2000 contribution points."

"Damnit!"

Lu Li cursed in his heart. He begged the old lady and said, "For the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, just that."

"No!" The old lady said with determination, "Either you go out now, or you give me another 2000 contribution points."
