Chapter 327: Being Targeted

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li spent one month in the Gargoyle Mountain before they left the area. Lu Li had already asked Yu Huashen to speed up, otherwise, they would use another more than 10 days.

This was a very productive month!

They had 750,000 Purple Xuan Crystals and more than 10,000 Soul Crystals, including the ones Lu Li had on him altogether. If they sold all of them, they could get more than 10 billion Xuan Crystals, enough for them to be teleported to the Mystic Armor Region.

They ran into a bit of a problem outside the Gargoyle Mountain. It was surrounded by warriors as this was a forbidden city.

Luckily, the warriors were not powerful. The team leader was only at the Eternal Realm. Yu Huashen diverted them so that Ming Yu and Lu Li could leave. Yu Huashen caught up soon afterwards.

The cloaking Inhibition Formation was activated and now they were traveling as fast as they could. Lu Li chose not to go into any cities now for fear that their whereabouts would be found.

He chose to fly towards the south. They had enough Xuan Crystals so they could be teleported at any time now. Safety must go first.

They avoided of getting nearer to cities the whole way. They had been flying in the wild. Finally, Lu Li decided to go into a Prefectural City to teleport.

Lu Li had some achievements after a month's cultivation. He seemed to have some understandings but it would require time for him to completely master it.

He had relied on the memory of the demon to make progress. In other words—he had a model. He just had to make a copy. If he was without the model and only relied on his own abilities, it would be much more difficult. There was a reason why Profound Meaning was so difficult to understand.

They kept flying and cultivating. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen took turns to control the chariot, and the journey was peaceful.

Ten days later, they finally arrived at the Prefectural City. Lu Li wanted to go in directly but Yu Huashen went in first to have a look-around as he insisted that they must be careful.

Lu Li and Ming Yu entered the city after Yu Huashen had confirmed of the safety. Only Lu Li put on the Ghost Mask.

As soon as they went in, Yu Huashen didn't take them to the teleportation formation at once. They went to a tavern to stay for a while. Yu Huashen wandered around and brought back three more masks.

This kind of mask was called the Illusions Mask, better than the Mithral Golem Mask. Of course, warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm still could see through this kind of mask. What was wonderful about this new mask was that it looked nothing like a mask, but a skin. When people put it on, there was no way to tell that a mask was worn. The mask could change appearances so it was amazing for disguise.

Lu Li was quite satisfied after he put it on. He had turned into a different young man. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen also changed their looks. Nobody, except for warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, could tell that they had changed appearances.

"Let's go~"

They had also changed clothes. They chose boring grey robes. Then they left, stepped into the Teleportation Formation and chose a random city to be teleported to.

Teleportation at Central Plains was pricy, but Lu Li had enough Xuan Crystals. They teleported for several times before they reached a Region City.

Changing robes, changing appearances of the Illusions Mask and continuing to be teleported.

Lu Li was getting dizzy from the teleportation. He had lost counts and he had no idea where he was now.

"Let's have a rest here for the night."

Yu Huashen finally said after they arrived at another region city at night. Their journey had been peaceful and uneventful, which relieved Yu Huashen and Ming Yu. They must rest for the night after being teleported for dozens of times.

They found a tavern and checked in the same room.

Lu Li recovered after resting for two hours at the tavern. They had been eating prepared food for several days now so Lu Li brought Yu Huashen and Ming Yu down stairs to dine and drink to their hearts' content after their safety was confirmed.

"Young Master, I will go and sell some Purple Xuan Crystals. Do you want to stay in or go out with me?"

Yu Huashen asked after dinner. Lu Li decided to go out to see what Central Plains was like. They had passed dozens of cities along the way but they never looked at them carefully.

Leaving the tavern, the three went to the plaza in a low key. It seemed nobody was paying any attention to them. Lu Li observed while he looked around. Soon, he was surprised. He looked to the distance and said, "Look at that one."

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu looked over and they were surprised as well. That person had two heads...

There were many special races at the Central Plains, but it was the first time Lu Li, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu ever saw a race with two heads. But the other people seemed quite used to this. That two-headed man didn't seem to be acting any differently.

"Over there"

Yu Huashen shouted in a low voice. Lu Li and Ming Yu were again taken by surprise. There was a slim-build lady waking over. She was wearing a bamboo hat so her face was not visible, but there were colorful snakes on her, at least dozens of them...

What a world of wonders!

Lu Li and the other two walked to a chamber of commerce near the plaza. They asked around and were shown to a side chamber by a maid through a door on the left.

The chamber was large and luxurious. After a moment, a chamber-keeper came in. Yu Huashen threw him a piece of Purple Xuan Crystal and said, "We'd like to trade for some Xuan Crystals. Is this service available here?"

"Sure!"

The chamber-keeper was an old man. He answered with a smile, "One Purple Xuan Crystal for 9500 Xuan Crystals. We can get you all you want."

One Purple Xuan Crystal was worth of 10,000 Xuan Crystals, so the chamber of commerce took 500 Xuan Crystals as a transaction fee, which was understandable. Yu Huashen took out 10,000 Purple Xuan Crystal and said, "There are 10,000 Purple Xuan Crystal. Now give me the Xuan Crystals."

"10,000?"

The old man's expressions changed again and again. In the end, he exclaimed, "This is so overwhelming. Please wait a moment. I will get the Xuan Crystals for you."

The old man asked several people over to sort and count. Soon, 100 million Xuan Crystals were delivered in dozens of cases.

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen roughly checked the number with their psychic power, put away the cases and left the chamber of commerce.

After they went back, Lu Li started cultivating while Ming Yu and Yu Huashen took turns to stay on guard. Early next morning, they started teleporting again.

However—

After teleporting for more than 10 times, Yu Huashen suddenly asked them to stop and they went to a nearby tavern. As soon as they got into the tavern, Yu Huashen said with a straight face, "I think something is wrong. I think somebody is following us."

Lu Li didn't sense anything wrong. Ming Yu frowned and said, "I agree. During these couple of teleportation, I think one or two people looked strange on the plaza."

"How so?"

Lu Li could not figure this out. They were fine yesterday. How come they were targeted all of a sudden?

Lu Li asked the waiter over after some thoughts. He threw the waiter some Xuan Crystals and started questioning him. More than a dozen questions later, Lu Li asked, "Tell us, is Purple Xuan Crystal also used at the Central Plains?"

"Of course~"

The waiter nodded and said, "Purple Xuan Crystal is also a kind of Xuan Crystal, but an expensive kind. One of those Purple Xuan Crystal is worth of 10,000 Xuan Crystals. Purple Xuan Crystals are used by big shots. We average Joes only use Xuan Crystals."

"No wonder..."

Lu Li, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu looked at each other and bitterly smiled.

They were so silly in trading with Purple Xuan Crystals directly. They traded with 10,000 Purple Xuan Crystals at one go. They had become easy targets and their identities could be figured out.

"What should we do now?"

Lu Li waved his hand to let go of the waiter and he asked Yu Huashen. Them being targeted was not the big issue now. What mattered now was that some big families were onto them.

They had Noble Lord Realm warriors and they were still targeted. Then the family behind this must be at least of the sixth rank. If it were a seventh-rank family, then it would be so troublesome...

Whether it was for the treasures of the Coffin of the Dragon King, or the Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals they got at the Gargoyle Mountain, or Little White, it was only a matter of time before they had to fight with whichever family that were chasing them!
