Chapter 957 - What Will Happen After They’re Synthesized?
Dumbfounded. Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng were utterly dumbfounded. Both of their minds were blank at this moment. Although they did not know what Birth Charts were, they knew what the Mystic Realm and the Thousand Realms Whirling meant. Even before cultivators could sprout the ninth leaf, these two terms had already existed in ancient books. These two words were used a lot during storytelling. These two people were naturally dumbfounded after meeting two Mystic Realm experts for the first time.
Pan Zhong stammered with a disbelieving expression on his face, "W-wait… Guardian Shen, Guardian Li, can… can you repeat your words again?"
Upon hearing these words, Shen Xi grew even more embarrassed. He said awkwardly, "F-four… Four Birth Charts. Thousand Realms Whirling…"
"T-three… Birth Charts." Li Xiaomo was even more ashamed.
.The two Thousand Realms Whirling experts' attitude was incredibly polite and gentle.
"..."
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng were dumbfounded and did not know what to say for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xi waved his hand in front of Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng. "Excuse me, are both of you okay? What's wrong?"
With this, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng finally recovered half their senses.
"I-it's nothing. I… I just saw that quiet villa over there and am reminded of its owner who has yet to return. It's been a while since that gentleman left, I wonder if he's happy and safe…" Pan Zhong said. Seeing that Zhou Jifeng was still acting like a fool, he discreetly nudged Zhou Jifeng.
"Ah, yes, that's right," Zhou Jifeng hurriedly said before he sighed sadly.
Upon hearing these words, Shen Xi cupped his hands together and said, "I didn't expect both of you to be so exceptionally loyal. Little Mo and I are truly lucky to be able to join the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"That's right. We're really lucky," Li Xiaomo chimed in.
Pan Zhong pretended to wipe tears from his eyes as he said with a hint of sorrow, "Sorry, I lost control of my emotions. Please come in…"
After entering the southern pavilion, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng cleaned the villa meticulously. After they were done, they politely bade farewell to the two newcomers.
On the other hand, Shen Xi did not want to come across as rude so he and Li Xiaomo sent the duo off.
After a long while, Li Xiaomo asked, "Brother Shen, w-why does it feel like they were pretending?"
Shen Xi scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if they're pretending, we have to take it seriously!"
"Oh." Li Xiaomo nodded obediently.
Shen Xi wondered if he had stayed in the cold and ruthless Black Tower Council for too long that he felt a little uncomfortable with this change. In the past, his time was spent cultivating and going on missions. The strong preyed on the weak; it was the survival of the fittest. He was a little unused to this change…
…
At the back of the mountain.
Zhou Jifeng mumbled in a daze, "T-thousand Realms… Thousand Realms Whirling! Heavens! What are we going to do?"
"Why are you panicking?" Pan Zhong said disdainfully, "Since they're willing to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, it means that the Pavilion Master is strong enough to suppress them. Why are you so worried?"
"Hey, hey, if such experts join the Evil Sky Pavilion, won't our positions be in danger?" Zhou Jifeng asked.
"We'll be fine," Pan Zhong said, "The more powerful experts we have, the more there's a need for people like us! Moreover, if everyone is a general, who's going to be the soldiers?"
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Jifeng nodded. He felt that Pan Zhong's words made sense.
Pan Zhong continued to say, "I think their attitude toward us isn't bad. Moreover, no matter how strong they are, how can they be better than the Pavilion Master and his ten disciples?"
"You have a point."
"In my opinion, we should continue doing what we should do. Just remember not to talk about cultivation base since we can't beat them in a fight," Pan Zhong said.
"You're right."
…
After Lu Zhou returned to the eastern pavilion, he did not waste time and began to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.
When evening fell, he had recovered most of his supreme mystic power.
He sighed. Although the battle between Thousand Realms Whirling experts had given him more than 100,000 merit points, things were not as simple as he thought they were. The Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators he killed were only lower-class members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. It would not be easy if he had to kill that expert with 12 Birth Charts who had come out to protect Wu Chao. Even if that person had lost 5 Birth Charts, that person still had 7 Birth Charts. There was no doubt that person was once a prominent figure. Based on this, it could be seen that there were many monstrous experts in the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. No matter what, he had to focus on raising his cultivation base and improving the strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
After a while, he wondered out loud, "Why did he save Wu Chao?"
He quickly dismissed his thoughts. It was best to focus on getting stronger. After killing so many people from the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council and taking in Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo, he was destined to stand on opposing sides with the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. All ten of his disciples had the Great Void Seed. If this secret was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Merit points: 155,400
Remaining lifespan: 642,410 days (236 years in which 1760 days are from Reversal Cards).
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction when he looked at the over 150,000 merit points. Now that he had returned to his home ground, how could he live up to himself if he did not draw the lucky draw?
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Used 50 merit points and 100 luck points. Obtained: The Buddhist path's Butterfly Love Flower."
Lu Zhou nodded and stroked his beard in satisfaction. "Lucky draw."
"Ding! Used 50 merit points. Obtained: Reversal Card x5."
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Used 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation. Luck point +1."
…
The next morning.
Lu Zhou looked at the 200 luck points he had gained, feeling rather unhappy. Apart from drawing something twice in the beginning, he did not gain anything apart from luck points.
"Lucky draw."
"Ding. Used 50 merit points and 200 luck points. Obtained: Ji Tiandao's Peak Trial Card."
"Huh?" The originally depressed Lu Zhou suddenly became energetic as though he had been injected with some booster.
After a night of being thanked for his participation, he was finally rewarded for his hard work! With this, the entire process was worth it!
Lu Zhou opened his hand and looked at the Peak Trial Card. On second thought, the Peak Trial Card did not seem to be very useful anymore.
Currently, he had activated four Birth Charts, manifested the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, possessed the supreme mystic power, and a lot of weapons. Unless he encountered a huge group of enemies, he had more than enough ammunition to deal with anyone who came his way without needing infinite Primal Qi or energy.
He waved his hand casually, and the Peak Trial Card disappeared. Following that, he looked at the number of Peak Trial Card he had on the system interface.
"This is..."
Next to the Peak Trial Card, he saw: "The card can be synthesized."
"They can be synthesized?" Lu Zhou was confused. Even if he had 100 Ji Tiandao cards, in the end, it would still be a Ji Tiandao card, right? Was there strength in number in this case?
Let alone the uncertainty of the result after he synthesized the card, the Peak Trial Card was the most difficult item card to obtain; he could not buy it with merit points. How long would it take for him to obtain three Peak Trial Cards?
In the end, Lu Zhou decided not to worry about it. He would just synthesize the cards once he had enough cards. After all, as it is, the card was no longer useful. He would not lose anything by synthesizing the cards.
At this moment, Zhao Yue's voice rang from outside, "Disciple greets master."
Lu Zhou walked out of the eastern pavilion.
Upon seeing Lu Zhou, Zhao Yue said, "Master, the brand on Guardian Shen's body has darkened."
"It has darkened?"
"Guardian Shen didn't expect this either. He thought he could perhaps get rid of it in ten days using his own cultivation. The two guardians are packing their things now and getting ready to leave. They said they didn't want to implicate the Evil Sky Pavilion," Zhao Yue explained.
