Chapter 173: Chapter 116: Divine Weapon Advancement! Artifact Spirit Revival!_2
“If we extract the Spirit Vein, the Golden Core Venerable of the Flowers Sect will surely descend, and the Heavenly Demon Sect won’t be able to protect us. When that happens, a great battle between the righteous and demonic sects will ensue, and we will surely have no way to survive.”
After speaking, he turned and flew toward a large Flying Boat high in the sky.
A group of Li Family Cultivators promptly followed, and soon all had boarded the Flying Boat.
“Sss…”
The Flying Boat gently swayed and then sped off like lightning toward the sea in front.
Cutting through endless mists, it quickly tunneled more than ten miles away and gradually disappeared over the nearby sea.
…
In a matter of days, the news of the Li Family’s defection exploded across the nearby seas, leaving countless cultivators in utter shock.
In the Long Dragon Sea, a real person from the Purple Mansion was already a high-level combatant, yet unexpectedly, the entire family had pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
What benefits the Heavenly Demon Sect offered the Li Family was a matter of great curiosity among the cultivators.
Some cultivators from the Lu Family were extremely worried upon hearing the news. However, after learning that their Family Ancestor had safely returned, they were overjoyed.
Meanwhile, the Chen Family’s island was immersed in sorrow. Several days had passed, and their ancestor was nowhere to be seen, leading many to fear he had fallen at the hands of a Demon Cultivator.
A Foundation Establishment Elder was left in sheer terror.
However, the Wang Family’s Ancestor had managed to escape back by a stroke of luck, though he had sustained some injuries.
Hearing of Chen Yuanli’s demise, the Wang Family’s Ancestor was extremely surprised.
He marveled at how the Lu Family Ancestor had managed to escape successfully, remarking on his constant good fortune.
“Ever since the new ancestor of the Lu Family established his foundation, they have been prospering, while our families have been declining…”
“The Lu Family has been quite fortunate in recent decades, I heard they have even opened some new sources of wealth.”
In the Wang family land, two figures conversed softly.
“Alas… it’s unfortunate that we failed last time, Brother Chen has also fallen, and this Lu Li is quite difficult to deal with. I fear we are no match for him.”
“Let’s figure out a plan later.”
An elder spoke faintly.
Afterward, the skies went silent again.
……
Upon receiving the news, Zhuang Guxue, the Sect Leader of the Flowers Sect, was furious.
She declared that these traitors must be annihilated in the future.
Yet, no Golden Core Venerable responded to the situation.
Inside a luxurious cave dwelling at the peak of the Flowers Sect’s mountain,
Liu Luoxin was seated on a stone bed, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
In front of her stood two respectful women in white robes, both beautiful and voluptuous.
It was Wang Shengxue and Yin Qian.
“Mistress, how should we deal with the Li Family?”
Yin Qian asked, her expression cold.
“I am already aware of this matter, we’ll settle accounts with these traitors later. If we act now, a great battle between the righteous and demonic may immediately erupt…”
Liu Luoxin remained expressionless.
“Besides, a few Daoist friends from the Qingxu Sect have messaged me. The time is not right. For now, delay further actions. The Li Family is just a pawn.”
“Has there been any trace of the remnants of Zoroastrianism?”
Yin Qian’s expression was respectful, “Reporting to Mistress, the Sect Leader has been investigating for a long time and has discovered many hidden followers. We can take action to eliminate them at any time.”
Liu Luoxin nodded, her expression very solemn.
She had always remembered the grudge from being outsmarted last time.
If she had a chance, she would personally strike down the Golden Core Venerable of Zoroastrianism.
“Have you found any results about the person you were investigating?”
She asked slowly, her voice melodious and gentle.
Yin Qian looked stunned, feeling a bit strange.
“Reporting to Mistress, this person is a cultivator from the Foundation Establishment Family of the Lu Family, reportedly with decent talent and a sliver of hope for the Purple Mansion.”
Wang Shengxue was also very puzzled; ever since their teacher returned last time, she had changed a lot. She no longer possessed her usual detached air but had become more humane. Surprisingly, she had started investigating this person.
This made her extremely curious about what relationship Lu Li could possibly have with their mistress.
“Could he be a distant relative?”
“Mmm…”
Liu Luoxin nodded slightly.
“Let’s seal that island for now. We’ll exchange it later using sect contribution points. Inform the Sect Leader’s nephew to send someone to guard it.”
“As commanded!”
Yin Qian and her companion bowed respectfully.
Then they slowly walked out of the cave dwelling.
Time passed, and several more days went by.
That day, in the early morning.
A fiery red tunneling light sped towards Mystic Moon Island from between the sea and sky, halting above the center of the island a moment later.
It revealed an old man with white hair and beard, none other than Ye Hongren.
He sent a Communication Jade Token toward the cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Li was in the cave conversing with Zhuang Guxue when he suddenly sensed a stir.
He received the Jade Talisman and swept it with his Divine Sense, his face revealing a smile.
“My lord, is there some good news?”
Zhuang Guxue saw that Lu Li was in a good mood, her curiosity piqued.
“It’s Ye Hongren, the ancestor of the Ye Family. I helped him during his last calamity.”
Lu Li replied with a smile.
“Then, this time, he must have come especially to express his gratitude.”
Zhuang Guxue’s smile beamed continuously.
Lu Li nodded and then left the cave, flying towards the foot of the mountain.
Moments later, he arrived at a flat area.
He saw Ye Hongren standing under an ancient tree with a smile on his face.
“No wonder the magpies were singing early this morning; it turns out it was the ancestor coming for a visit.”
Lu Li walked over with a smile.
“I hope you’ll excuse my presumption in disturbing Mr. Lu’s peaceful cultivation.”
Ye Hongren was full of courtesy.
Then Lu Li took Ye Hongren and flew toward the cave.
By the time the two arrived at the cave, Zhuang Guxue had already prepared the Spiritual Tea and was sitting quietly beside the stone table, looking gentle and lovely.
“You truly are fortunate, friend.”
Ye Hongren admired Zhuang Guxue for her beautiful appearance and tranquil demeanor as he spoke.
Lu Li smiled, agreeing wholeheartedly.
At that moment, Ye Hongren spoke softly.
“I came today especially to thank Mr. Lu. I heard that you are collecting a lot of second-tier spiritual ore, and it just so happens that the Ye Family’s treasury has some…”
Ye Hongren laughed heartily, in a good mood.
After he finished speaking, he took out a Storage Bag and placed it on the stone table.
“You’re too modest, ancestor.”
Lu Li’s face wore a smile.
“There must be something else you came here for today.”
Ye Hongren’s demeanor shifted slightly, “Indeed, I can’t hide anything from you, Mr. Lu. My Ye Family has some connections with the Flowers Sect, and it seems that something big might happen there soon.”
“You might want to prepare in advance.”
He spoke with a note of solemnity.
Lu Li nodded, “Thank you for the information, ancestor. Our two families should continue to support each other in the future.”
He too appreciated the other’s good intentions, knowing that having another Foundation Establishment cultivator would provide additional support.
Ye Hongren also smiled and nodded, “My young friend, your strength is astounding. I, an old bag of bones, will probably have to rely on you a lot in the future.”
Lu Li merely smiled gently, and after they talked a bit more, Ye Hongren took his leave.
After the other party left the cave, Lu Li picked up the Storage Bag and swept it with his Divine Sense, and found that it indeed contained quite a few second-tier spiritual ores and even some third-tier Five Elements Spirit Ore.
This surprised him.
It seemed that Ye Hongren’s “goodwill” was indeed substantial.
The following days were very calm, more than ten days passing in a blink.
The entire open sea was also calm, yet the atmosphere was strangely eerie.
It was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
In a secret chamber in the cave at the foot of Mystic Moon Island,
Lu Li took out a large amount of Five Elements Ores and placed them into the Refining Demon pot in front of him.
As the Refining Treasure Runes operated, the ores turned into clouds of gray mist that floated inside the pot.
Then, Lu Li took out the Divine Weapon and placed it deep inside the pot.
After a long time of refining and slaughtering numerous Foundation Establishment experts, the Divine Axe Artifact Spirit had shown signs of revival.
Moreover, the material itself had reached its limit and it was time for advancement.
As the runes were activated again, a great amount of mist slowly flowed into the Divine Axe.
The Divine Weapon began to emit light, the brightness increasingly dazzling, blinking fiercely, and its aura strengthening rapidly.
The cold light on the blade became more startling, making Lu Li feel as if the sharp edges were about to slice through the void.
Soon, all the mist had entered the interior of the Divine Weapon.
“Whoosh…”
The Divine Axe began to tremble violently, a powerful aura shooting into the sky.
Immediately afterward, faint inklings of thoughts emerged in Lu Li’s mind, bringing a sense of affection towards him.
“The spiritual nature has revived! The Divine Weapon has completely transformed into a low-grade Spiritual Artifact!”
Lu Li’s expression brightened.
