Chapter 1217: Gains

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Li did not intend to rely on the immortal’s body or the Deaf Taoist for the rest of his life.

But since he had just come to the Divinity, before he settled down and had the ability to protect himself, he would always be delighted when the Deaf Taoist and the immortal’s body could progress. At the very least, Lu Li would be safe.

This was particularly true when Yan Tiangang was always plotting to take Lu Li’s life. Now that there was a first strike, Yan Tiangang would launch more rounds of assaults with both overt and covert means. Without the immortal’s body and the Deaf Taoist, Lu Li could not survive.

“Bang, bang!”

Not long afterward, the last two immortals were killed. This was not surprising because the Deaf Taoist was ferocious and those two could not free themselves from the attacks.

“Burn the bodies!”

When all five were finished, Lu Li came over. He put away all the Relic armors and weapons, as well as the two tripods and their Interspatial Rings. He let the immortal’s body return to the Wicked Bead at once. The outsiders could never know about the immortal’s body or else Lu Li would be in trouble.

The Deaf Taoist poured out black flames from his hand. The five immortals were piled together and burnt down. He also dug out a pit to bury the ashes.

“Let’s go!”

With everything taken care of, Lu Li left with the Deaf Taoist quickly. They found a small path and snuck in. Then they dug out more tunnels to hide.

…

“What?”

In a castle in the Valley of Vicissitudes, a bird-eyed prefecture warrior held five broken jade talismans. In his bird-eyes, terror and shock emerged.

“What is going on?”

Another prefecture warrior was with him. This one was also wearing blue armor so he must be on the prefecture army of Vicissitude House as well.

“They are dead. The five people I sent are killed!”

The bird-eyed prefecture warrior’s eyes flickered as he said, puzzled, “Is this Lu Li that strong? You have to know, the five are sly as foxes. They have been in the Mountain of Vicissitudes for tens of thousands of years. They just stayed here to bully the new people. How could they die in the hands of Lu Li? Long Shan… what do you think of this Lu Li?”

The prefecture warrior shook his head. “I don’t know. Someone just told me to capture or kill Lu Li. How can a new immortal be this strong? Li Qiang, we have agreed… if you cannot capture or kill Lu Li, then you will only get one-tenth of the price.”

“I know the rules.”

The bird-eyed Li Qiang snorted. His wrinkles twitched. Patting Long Shan’s shoulder, Li Qiang said, “Long Shan, there is no rush. I will send over more ruthless characters. Which slave has the courage to disobey me in the Valley of Vicissitudes? If they cannot finish the job, I will take care of things myself. I intend to get the one million Divine Sources!”

“It’s best to capture him alive!” Long Shan said. “Capture him alive and send him out of the Valley of Vicissitudes. If so, the money we provide will be increased by four times. How about… you take him out by force? Does he have the courage to disobey a prefecture warrior?”

“I cannot do that!”

Li Qiang shook his head. “You know how Commander Ye is like. Some small actions behind his back are okay but if things spin out of control, he will lose his temper and not even I can face his wrath.”

“Fine, sure.”

Long Shan nodded. “Then I will leave the Valley of Vicissitudes and wait for you there for a while.”

“Do not worry!”

Li Qiang grinned a hideous grin. “He is just a new immortal. Isn’t it a piece of cake to finish him? I will abandon my name of Li Qiang if I cannot end him.”

…

Lu Li had no idea how the bird-eyed Li Qiang was plotting against him. Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist were still digging downward. They stopped after they had covered over thirty miles.

“Deaf Taoist, tend to your wounds.”

Just now, during the fight, the Deaf Taoist was wounded. He asked Lu Li to provide protection while he tended to his wounds. Lu Li gave the Deaf Taoist two pieces of Spring Gold to consume.

The Deaf Taoist recovered after half a day of rest. This time around, the Deaf Taoist began to provide Lu Li protection when the latter was trying to take over a Relic armor.

Lu Li was strong himself. That being said, with a Relic armor, he would have stronger defensive abilities. The Relic armors had proven to be difficult to be destroyed. Not even the immortal’s body could smash the Relic armors open. One could only imagine how strong a Relic armor was.

Relic armors and Relic weapons were not that valuable in the Divinity. The five immortals all possessed Relic armors and weapons. In a single blow, Lu Li had obtained five suits of Relic armors and weapons and two other artifacts.

“Deaf Taoist, do you need Relic weapons?”

Lu Li remembered. The Deaf Taoist’s stone column was too long to be used in stone caves. The Deaf Taoist had realized this point as well so he nodded. Lu Li gave that saw-blades steal saber to the Deaf Taoist.

Using divine energy to take control of Relic weapons and armors was fast. In the past, it would take Lu Li months to finish the job. This time, it only cost him half a day.

“Buzzing~”

A glow rose around Lu Li. A silver armor appeared. Together with his white-hair, they gave Lu Li an impressive look.

Lu Li took out another saber. This one was heavy and Lu Li did not quite like the design. However, the other weapons were not suitable. He had no other choice but to use this one.

A day or two later, both Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist had finished. Again, their abilities were enhanced.

“Right, the Interspatial Rings!”

Lu Li remembered the five immortals’ rings. He wondered if there were more Relic weapons, armors or books on skills.

He took out the five rings. One glance had sent him into a complete delight!

There were only two sets of Relic armors and weapons in the five Interspatial Rings and few books. It seemed that there was only one scroll. What pleased Lu Li was the—Spring Gold!

There must be over a thousand pieces of Spring Gold in the five rings. Each month, Lu Li only had to turn in 10 pieces and for one year, that was merely over one hundred pieces. Now, he had over a thousand pieces of Spring Gold. That was to say, from now on, he never had to dig another piece of Spring Gold. He could just go and hand in the pieces needed for every month.

“Go back!”

Lu Li decided to return to the Valley of Vicissitudes at once because it was absolutely safe there.

Who dared to take actions in the Valley of Vicissitudes? Not even the prefecture warriors could bother Lu Li for no reason. He could just cultivate in peace in his room. When one year was up, he would be granted the right of a prefecture citizen and he could leave the Valley of Vicissitudes.

The Deaf Taoist agreed with Lu Li after the latter stated his intention. There must be over ten thousand slaves in the Valley of Vicissitudes and many undiscovered talents. The immortal’s body was strong. That being said, the bird-eyed prefecture warrior could send over more powerful immortal or a team of dozens. In such cases, Lu Li’s life would be at risk.

“I will give you one hundred pieces of Spring Gold to consume.”

Lu Li handed them over to the Deaf Taoist who was over the moon. When the one hundred pieces of Spring Gold was consumed, his abilities would be improved by a large margin.

“Take care of Little White!”

Lu Li gave all the Divine Sources to the Deaf Taoist and let him return into the Wicked Bead before he dashed out of the cave.

In this way, he encountered many immortals and slaves. Lu Li had been on alert in case someone was going to assassinate him. Luckily, nobody had such intentions. Lu Li returned to the castle in the Valley of Vicissitudes safely and turned on the Inhibition Formation at once to cultivate.

“He is back?”

Not long after Lu Li came back, bird-eyed Li Qiang was notified. He seemed to be troubled. If Lu Li never went to the mine again, then Li Qiang would not be able to accomplish his mission.
