Chapter 1256: Leaf of Purple Flames

Since Lu Li had come to the Tomb of King Luna, then Lu Li must be from southern Divinity. Immortals from other regions were not likely to come all the way to the Tomb of King Luna.

Eight of the 72 sects were in southern Divinity. However, there were other hidden forces and prefectures at southern Divinity. So, even Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er could not know all the elite disciples of all forces.

Some forces had disciples out in the world socializing on behalf of their respective forces. Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess, for example, would represent their respective sects. On the other hand, some elites of other sects or forces would not show themselves in public. Instead, those disciples would be trained in secret. They were the hidden force of their own sects and could come in handy when needed.

Lu Li could solve the Path of Life and Death, survive the path that was crowded with God Biters and now, he could solve the Inhibition Formations of this level. Besides, he had the Wicked Bead, such an amazing piece of interspatial artifact!

Too many secrets surrounded Lu Li. No wonder Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess would have doubts. Then again, if Lu Li were from some major forces, why would he be so forbearing toward Ling Feidu on the Path of Life and Death?

Elite disciples from the major forces usually assumed some air of arrogance. They may not bully others. However, when Ling Feidu was so over the line, Lu Li would not say any kind words should he be from some major forces or sects.

“I don’t know…”

Holy Princess blinked in confusion. The more she thought about it, the more puzzled she was. She felt there were more and more mysteries around Lu Li. As a girl, gossip was born in her nature. As such, her interest in Lu Li grew…

Lu Li did not know that because of the Wicked Bead, Lou Shi’er, and Holy Princess had grown such a sudden interest in him. Lu Li wasn’t even aware that other interspatial artifacts could not function here. If he had known, he would not enter his Wicked Bead in public.

“Blood Fairy, how much time do you need to consume the energy of Crystal of Icy Soul?”

Lu Li communicated with Blood Fairy as soon as he came in. The latter’s tentacle was already inside the Crystal of Icy Soul. She took a moment to observe before she replied, “I will need at least three months. The energy in this crystal is rich. I will have to consume bit by bit.”

“Okay. Let me know when you are done!”

Lu Li nodded. He left the Blood Fairy to it and used psychic power to check the inner hall. Naturally, he noticed Little White.

“Little White?”

Lu Li remembered something. Holy Princess was out there. Could she cure Little White?

“Buzzing!”

Lu Li dashed into the inner hall and then came out with Little White in his hands. Holy Princess and the others were staring at the Wicked Bead when all of a sudden Lu Li had come out again with a piece of charcoal in his hands.

“Holy Princess!”

Lu Li said, hugging Little White, “This is my little beast and it is struck by thunderbolts. It is barely clinging to life. Can you save it for me?”

“Really?”

Holy Princess used psychic power to check Little White. After a while, she said with a frown, “Let me see. I cannot make any promises because the source of life of this beast is hurt, and it is really serious.”

“Buzzing~”

Holy Princess took out a vase and the twig inside reached out. The twig surrounded Little White and it gave out a faint, green glow. Little White was wounded in some places. At the moment, all the wounds were being healed at a rate visible to the naked eye. Even the burnt skin was peeling off and baby-like smooth skin was growing back…

“Alright!”

Lu Li could feel that Little White was getting better. He was excited. This Fundamental Principle of Life was powerful and could provide the best healing procedure.

A moment later, Lu Li was amazed to see that white fur was growing back and Little White’s vital signs were recovering. Finally, he was relieved.

After the time for one incense stick to burn, Holy Princess took back the twig and said apologetically, “Young Master Lu, your beast’s wounds are recovering but it will not wake up any time soon. Since its source of life has been badly wounded, it is going to be hard for your beast to wake up.”

“Eh?”

A smile froze on Lu Li’s face. He asked, “Holy Princess, are you saying that there is a chance that my beast can never wake up?”

“Not really!”

Holy Princess said after some thought, “There is an herb that can bring it back to life quickly. However, that is a rare herb and quite valuable. Not even the Palace of Snow Mountain has it. Young Master, if you can find the herb, I believe your beast can recover completely.”

“What kind of herb?” Lu Li asked with anticipation.

There was a glow rising in Holy Princess’s eyes as she replied, “Leaf of Purple Flames!”

“Leaf of Purple Flames?”

Lou Shi’er remembered something. His mouth twitched as he asked, “If I am right, Leaf of Purple Flames is a supreme-grade herb? Such herbs are worth at least tens of millions of Divine Sources, right? Is it worthwhile for this little beast here?”

“Yes, it is!”

Lu Li said, with certainty, “For me, this is not my beast, more like my brother. I will get even hundreds of millions of Divine Sources, let alone tens of millions, for it. Thank you, Holy Princess.”

“Hundreds of millions…”

Lou Shi’er curled his lips. Holy Princess and her fellow disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain were stunned. Though they were from the Palace of Snow Mountain, to get their hands on tens of millions of Divine Sources would still be difficult, not to mention hundreds of millions.

“Brother Lu, bear with me.”

Lou Shi’er could not keep down his curiosity. He waved the others from Pavilion of Misty Drizzle away and looked at the disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain who picked up the hint and stepped back. When the others were a couple of miles away, Lou Shi’er whispered to Lu Li, “Are you… from some big force?”

“Big force?”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, baffled. “Brother Shi’er, why do you ask? Truth be told, I have just ascended as an immortal not long ago. I don’t even enjoy citizenship now…”

“But…”

Both Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess were taken aback. They were just wondering which big force Lu Li was from. However, he had just ascended. Did Lu Li lie to them or something as strange as this really existed?

An immortal that had just ascended had cracked the Inhibition Formation in the Tomb of King Luna? How could he have a supreme Relic? How could they, as disciples from major sects, affirm this?

Looking at Lu Li’s sincere expression, Holy Princess found that she had bought his words for no reason. If he were lying, then he would be one hell of an actor.

Holy Princess said to Lou Shi’er, “Young Master Lou, how can your Pavilion of Misty Drizzle miss out such a talent? If it were not for the fact that the Palace of Snow Mountain does not accept male disciples, I will introduce Young Master Lu to our sect.”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lou Shi’er laughed. He said to Lu Li with sincerity, “Brother Lu, if you are willing to come to Pavilion of Misty Drizzle, I will definitely find a way to get him in. Brother Lu, you are a rare talent indeed.”

“Thank you, Young Master Shi’er, for this kind offer. Thank you, Holy Princess!”

Lu Li grinned. “We will decide as soon as after we can leave the Tomb of King Luna. By then, if I want to join the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle, Young Master Shi’er, then I will have to ask for your favor.”

“Sure, of course!”

Lou Shi’er nodded, “I believe that the seniors in our sect will be more than willing that a talent like Brother Lu can join us.”

Lu Li clasped his fist and then entered the Wicked Bead. First things first, he must solve the Inhibition Formations of this level and find the exit.

The 72 sects were renowned. That being said, Lu Li was not that interested.

He preferred to go to the Swords Mountain because Emperor of Heaven Reverse was there, the ancestor of humans of the Heaven Reverse Universe.
