After they went back to the tavern, Lu Li changed his mind again. He didn’t immediately go to the Teleportation Formation. He planned to teleport after dark by which time there would be less people in the God-down City. They wouldn’t be noticed easily.
Lu Li and Liu Yi stayed in the tavern till midnight and then left. They spent 2000 Xuan Crystals to go back to the God-down City.
There were indeed fewer people. This time, they felt not so worse during teleportation. Even though they were still dizzy and wanted to vomit, they managed to hold it back.
The city gate was closed at midnight. The two found a tavern. Instead of sleeping, they cultivated till dawn. Afterwards, they left the tavern for the city gate directly and to the dock.
"Family Patriarch!"
Before they reached the dock, several men ran out from behind them wildly. Lu Li recognized the patriarch that saw them off and several Liu Family disciples. He asked with a confusion, "Why are you behind us? Are you in the city as well?"
"Yes!"
The Patriarch nodded and responded, "We already knew when you teleported back here last night. We knew it when you left the city. We followed you to see if someone was tracking you. Is everything… okay this time?"
Liu Yi smiled, nodded heavily and said, "Very good, let’s go back and talk."
"Okay!"
The patriarch knew what Liu Yi and Lu Li was out for. He trembled out of excitement. The bunch of people ran towards the dock and went back to the Blood Dragon Island on the battleship anchored there.
When Lu Li and Liu Yi explained their journey, all the Patriarchs were so pleased that tears almost coursed down their cheeks. They now looked at Lu Li in totally different ways.
They understood clearly that Lu Li from now on was the Xuan Crystals sack for the Liu Family. Without Lu Li, the Liu Family would have to live on air.
Liu Yi then told them about buying the 50 Heaven Xuan Pellets. She made it clear that those were for Lu Li’s cultivation. Nobody had any disagreement.
So long as Lu Li continued to offer help, the Liu Family could constantly grow Blood Caterpillar Fruits. Endless Xuan Crystals would ensue. What couldn’t they have in the future?
Patriarch Seven had a discussion with some men and reiterated clearly that this matter could not be leaked. Anyone in violation would be killed. At the same time, Patriarch Seven decided to buy some materials to build some inhibition formations to seal up the entire valley. Apart from the Patriarchs, nobody could go in.
There was another piece of news. Patriarch Lu sent somebody back to report that the family members were not killed. As of this moment, he was trying to arrange for them to get to the island group by group.
That was both good and bad.
These family members were their relatives. If they could get here, they would be completely safe. However, with so many people, the Liu Family expenditures would be high. Many children needed resources to train. Also, with more people, the chances of troubles were higher as well. The Liu Family was seriously lacking.
Lu Li cared not about them. He talked to Liu Yi for a bit and went back to his room with his 50 Heaven Xuan Pellets for cultivation. Patriarch Seven and the rest continued their meeting to secretly discuss buying Blood Caterpillar Grass seeds and Blood Rhinoceroses at the God-down Island.
…
"The Heaven Xuan Pellets are miraculous!"
Lu Li consumed one Heaven Xuan Pellet. He cultivated for an entire day before he stopped and tried to sense the state. He sighed secretly that having resources was good, no wonder why the disciples of the Big Families could cultivate so fast.
According to his preliminary estimation, his speed of cultivation after he took one Heaven Xuan Pellet was increased by at least more than a score of times. Originally, if he wished to improve his Xuan Energy to the level of the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, he had to spend at least three years. Now, it would only take him about a month and a half. The cultivation speed was so fast.
This was just the Heaven Xuan Pellet. What if he purchased the more advanced Divine Xuan Pellets to help with his cultivation? Would the speed be increased by 50, or 100 times?
However, Liu Yi said the Heaven Xuan Pellets would increase the cultivation speed by more than a dozen times. His speed had been up by more than 20 times? Today, the animal tooth pendant flickered for a long time. Maybe him cultivating so fast was closely related to the animal tooth pendant as well.
"The cultivation of warriors is consuming resources!"
The price of Heaven Xuan Pellet was 80 Xuan Crystals. Lu Li felt cultivation was burning through the Xuan Crystals. This was just for the Spirit Sea Realm. Later on, how about the Soul Pond Realm, Fate Wheel Realm and the Eternal Realm?
How did his father, Lu Renhuang, cultivate to the Human Sovereign Realm?
On the other hand, Lu Ling said their Lu Family had one of the top 10 strongest Bloodline in the Central Plains. The recourses of such a powerful family would be of a huge amount. If Lu Renhuang had remarkable constitution, he could achieve great accomplishments by consuming the resources…
After he ate, Lu Li went back to his cultivation. The Liu Family didn’t have Blood Caterpillar Grass seeds, so he didn’t need to better the blood with his animal tooth pendant now. He had stated clearly to Liu Yi not to disturb him for nothing.
Three days later, Liu Yi came to find him. The seeds of Blood Caterpillar Grass were brought back. All the other Blood Caterpillar Grasses they planted earlier were uprooted. They then re-purchased more than a dozen Blood Rhinoceroses and asked Lu Li to better the blood.
Lu Li went to the valley and found that the two blood ponds were connected into a big one which had been filled with blood. He poked around and made sure that there was nobody in the valley. He pretended to take out some powder and sprinkled them in while he secretly threw the animal tooth pendant into it. He then swirled it for half a day.
The blood boiled and tumbled around. When the blood stabilized, Lu Li took out the animal tooth pendant, cleaned it and handed over the matter to Liu Yi.
The blood pond was enlarged. Even if the Liu Family were to plant the entire valley with thousands of Blood Caterpillar Grasses, the blood would be enough to sustain for four or five days. As a result, Lu Li only needed to be here every four or five days.
The Liu Family did plant all over the valley a total 2000 Blood Caterpillar Grasses. Initially, according to Patriarch Nine, they should plant seven or eight thousand plants, but that was vetoed by Patriarch Seven.
If they planted too many, the valley wouldn’t have enough space. Then they had to go outside which would be discovered easily. There was also the matter of Blood Rhinoceroses. If they were to purchase dozens of Blood Rhinoceroses at a time, how could that escape the attention of the Blood Evil Island?
An innocent man would be made a target of criminals because of his treasure!
The Liu Family was so weak now that once someone knew they could grow high-quality Blood Caterpillar Grasses, the family would be destroyed immediately.
Patriarch Seven would go to the Blood Evil Island every now and then, pouring out his woes. In the meantime, he had many Patriarchs to hunt Xuan Beasts in the lake area close to the Blood Evil Island, assuming an air they were so poor that they had no food…
Liu Yi had someone to prepare another piece of farmland in another place to grow some Blood Caterpillar Grasses that had no glare and looked sickly. From time to time, she would invite Xue Bugui to give them advice…
Thirteen days later, the Blood Caterpillar Fruits became ripe, looking same as the ones sold by Lu Li last time. The Liu Family was over the moon. Patriarch Seven came to find Lu Li and Liu Yi. He wanted them to sell 2000 Blood Caterpillar Fruits at the Heaven Prison City.
Two thousand Blood Caterpillar Fruits would be 50,000 Xuan Crystals. If they could get their hands on these Xuan Crystals, the Liu Family wouldn’t be in want of Xuan Crystals in a short term. The family could buy many resources and find a way to solicit warriors, developing and gradually getting stronger.
"What’s the hurry?"
Lu Li disagreed. He refused, "The number of Blood Caterpillar Fruits is too small. The more frequent our trips to the Heaven Prison City are, the more easily for us to be discovered. Let us wait till we get 10,000 Blood Caterpillar Fruits! Also, when we have enough Xuan Crystals, you can think about buying some Green Dwarfs. As long as we have several of them, the Blood Dragon Island will be safe for the time being."
"Green Dwarfs?"
Liu Yi mumbled and her eyes lit up. She exclaimed, "That is right. We are not short of Xuan Crystals now. The most important thing is to make sure of the island’s safety. So long as we can keep the island, we will have endless flows of Xuan Crystals."
In the old days, Lu Li and Liu Yi dared not to think about this. After all, Green Dwarfs were too expensive, and the consumption of Xuan Crystals in raising the Green Dwarfs was huge. However, considering that they could make 50,000 Xuan Crystals in thirteen days, why not buy some?
After Liu Yi told the patriarchs about it, all the Patriarchs’ eyes glowed. If they could have some Green Dwarf slaves with fighting capacities comparable to warriors of the Soul Pond Realm, who else dared to attack the Blood Dragon Island apart from the God-down Island?
