"Both?"
Lan Xihe muttered to himself.
Cultivation was a path that defied the heavens. In the process of cultivation, one could continuously increase their lifespan, delay aging, expel illnesses, and strengthen their bodies. Every enhancement and change was breaking the established rules and upper limits.
"You weren't in disguise last time?"
No one could undergo such a huge change in life in such a short period of time.
She could stay young forever, but she could not return to her youth …
"Pavilion Master Lu …"
When Lan Xihe was about to ask for more guidance, Lu Zhou was nowhere to be seen. There was no one outside the dojo hall. Si Wuya left the white tower as well.
She sighed softly.
"Order Ning Wanqing to see the guests out."
"Yes."
…
North of the White Tower, ten miles of snow mountain.
Ning Wanqing said, "Pavilion Master Lu's cultivation seems to be stronger than before."
Lu Zhou was puzzled. Previously, it was five Birth Charts, and this time, it was six Birth Charts. Although it was powerful, it was still a far cry from 12 Birth Charts. Where did Ning Wanqing get this feeling from?
"You can sense my strength?" Lu Zhou asked.
Ning Wanqing pointed at his nose and ears.
"This is probably God's gift to the blind. I can't see it with my eyes, but I can hear it, smell it. Pavilion Master Lu's aura was smooth, stable, and full of vitality. Even though Pavilion Master Lu concealed all of his cultivation aura, he couldn't hide his instincts as an ordinary person. "
Lu Zhou nodded and said,
"You're much smarter than Nangong Yutian."
"Thank you for your compliment, Pavilion Master Lu."
Ning Wanqing bowed and stood up again. His eyes were hollow as he said, "Pavilion Master Lu is looking for the blue crystal. I have a lead."
Lu Zhou did not think much of him. After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Ning Wanqing.
Ning Wanqing smiled.
"Pavilion Master Lu must be very curious. I'm from the White Tower. Why didn't I tell Tower Master Lan about such an important clue but chose to tell you instead?"
"I'm not," Lu Zhou replied.
"…"
Ning Wanqing felt as if his heart had suffered a violent blow. He could only helplessly say, "One of them is in the hands of the Black Tower's former Tower Master, Xiao Yunhe."
"Xiao Yunhe?" Lu Zhou frowned.
"In order to restore his destroyed Life Providence, he searched everywhere for a way. The aura of the Taixu was something that was created by the heavens and earth. Naturally, he would try his best to find it. Moreover, Xiao Yunhe is extremely cunning. I wouldn't be surprised even if he found all six of them, "Ning Wanqing said.
At this moment, Si Wuya said,
"Thank you for providing such an important clue. In return, I will tell you a piece of information."
"Please go ahead."
"Pagoda Lord Lan has experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen countless people. I'm sure she's seen through your little tricks, "Si Wuya said.
Ning Wanqing was stunned.
Si Wuya did not say anything else. He climbed the snow mountain with his master.
He arrived at the rune passage.
When Si Wuya activated the runic tunnel, Lu Zhou asked, "Are you trying to sow discord between them?"
"Your disciple isn't that free. There was clearly something wrong with Ning Wanqing. Lan Xihe and Gongsun Yuanxuan were sparring. Anyone who wasn't stupid would know that this was a life or death match. He wasn't prepared at all, nor did he interfere to stop them. I have enough reason to suspect that he's a spy planted by the Great Nether Dynasty in the white tower, "Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly.
His analysis was very reasonable.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Let's return to the Life Nourishment Hall first … I'll find another day to look for Lu Qianshan."
"Yes."
…
In the evening. Inside the Life Nourishment Hall.
Lu Zhou sat cross-legged as he thought about what happened during the day.
"Why is my dantian's sea of Qi stuck?"
He had wasted 12 blocks and allowed Gongsun Yuanxuan to put on a show.
He thought he should have just slapped Gongsun Yuanxuan to make a fool of himself. At the very least, an ordinary Deadly Strike Card would have deterred Gongsun Yuanxuan from acting rashly.
He tried to circulate the Primal Qi in his dantian's sea of Qi again.
The feeling of being stuck appeared again.
Just like music, it was always half a beat too slow. It would only return to normal when he circulated his Primal Qi a second time.
This was an extremely terrifying thing for a cultivator. Even a breath's delay would be a fatal mistake, let alone half a beat.
"Is this related to the Price of Youth mission? “
Could it be that this was the price of being young?
If that's the case, everyone's life is in danger. '
Lu Zhou glanced at the mission list again. 'Second avatar, collect blue crystals (1/9).'
This clue was transferred from the Price of Youth mission. It seemed like he would have to collect nine blue crystals to solve this problem.
"Lu Qianshan's surname is Lu as well …" Lu Zhou muttered his name.
Currently, the problem with his dantian was still there. If he wanted to go to Great Circle, he would have to be fully prepared.
He looked at the items on the dashboard.
Merit points: 781610
Items: Strengthened Deadly Strike Card x1, Impeccable Card x1, Critical Block Card x133 (passive), Golden Taixu Mirror, Appearance Alteration Card x2, Synthesis Card x2, Decomposition Card x4
Apart from the Peak Card, he had a complete set of cards.
"Demotion Card?"
Lu Zhou looked at the Demotion Card. Ten seconds …
It did not seem like it would be of much help to him.
Fortunately, the price was low enough.
"What will the effect be after the synthesis?"
It was useless to just think about it. It was better to put it into action.
Lu Zhou bought three Demotion Cards. The price of the first and second cards did not increase. When he bought the third card, it increased by 1,000 merit points. It was a good deal.
He brought out the Synthesis Card and placed the four cards together. Then, he said, 'Synthesize.'
"Ding! Synthesize successful. Obtained Strengthened Demotion Card."
"Strengthened Demotion Card. Permanently lowers the target's Birth Chart." (Note: It's different from destruction, irreversibility, and recovery. It can be understood as lowering the upper limit of one's innate talent.)
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction when he saw the effect.
He remembered the scene when he healed Xiao Yunhe. It was clear that a destroyed Birth Chart could be restored. However, it was slightly difficult. The Demotion Card was truly a dimensional blow.
"Isn't one too few?"
In for a penny, in for a pound.
"I'll buy six Demotion Cards and two synthesis cards."
He had one synthesis card left. It was just enough.
Lu Zhou synthesized the six Demotion Cards into two Strengthened Demotion Cards. Then, he placed the three Strengthened Demotion Cards together.
"Don't tell me it can't be synthesized."
"Synthesize."
"Ding! Synthesize successful. Obtained Advanced Strengthened Demotion Card. Additional effect: Extraction of Birth Chart."
"Advanced Strengthened Demotion Card. With an indescribable power, permanently lowers the target's Birth Chart by five. There's also a chance to obtain the Birth Chart Heart, the highest among the five Birth Charts."
"Not bad."
Lu Zhou was very satisfied with the additional effect.
If he had to compare it, the effect was similar to the Strengthened Deadly Strike Card. However, it could not be restored. It might seem cheap, but the cost was high as well. He had spent quite a lot on the four synthesis cards.
If he wanted to kill his enemies, the most reasonable way to use the cards would be to combine the Demotion Cards and Deadly Strike Cards.
This effect was not bad.
Then, he closed the system dashboard.
He took out the Violet Glazed Ceramic.
He gauged the Violet Glazed Ceramic's energy. Half of it had been restored.
He circulated his Primal Qi and activated the Violet Glazed Ceramic. It could be used again, but its speed was not as fast as when it was fully charged.
At this moment, Lu Zhou entered his meditative state.
…
Three days later. In the morning.
A ray of sunlight fell on the window.
Lu Zhou summoned Si Wuya to the Hall of Cultivation.
The two of them prepared to depart for the Great Circle Royal Court.
"Master, the runic tunnel is ready. There won't be anyone along the way, "Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "I heard Old Fourth is back?"
"Fourth Senior Brother has been sleeping ever since he returned. Should I ask him to come and greet you?" Si Wuya asked.
"There's no need. Let's go," Lu Zhou said.
Si Wuya was slightly taken aback.
His master had always been strict. He could not stand his disciples sleeping in. However, he was not angry this time.
The two of them walked out of the Hall of Cultivation.
When they arrived at the great hall's entrance, Lu Zhou stopped in his tracks.
His ears twitched. "Someone's here."
