He now had close to 100,000 merit points. With some savings, he could purchase two Golden Lotus Leaves. His current cultivation base was only at the Two-leaf Nascent Divinity realm. He would be lying if he said he did not feel any desire for 100,000 merit points. However, he knew he had to hold back. He would keep them and use them when he became a grand cultivator. He would be able to maximize their value then.
However, it should not be a problem for him to spend some merit points on lucky draws, right?
"Lucky draw," Lu Zhou muttered under his breath.
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Obtained Reversal Card x1."
His luck was not bad.
He would try again.
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Obtained mount, Ji Liang."
"Note: Since the system has spent a great deal of energy to obtain the legendary mounts, Whitzard and Bi An, the mounts will head to the Evil Sky Pavilion on their own."
"Ji Liang: A fine horse from the Land of Wuwang in the far north."
Lu Zhou's eyes widened when he saw the reward.
'It's been a long time …'
It had been a long time since he received such a good reward.
'I'm finally lucky!'
Ever since he obtained Whitzard and Bi An, Lu Zhou had witnessed the power of legendary mounts.
Even during Ji Tiandao's reign, he did not have a decent mount. His first disciple, Yu Zhenghai, on the other hand, had spent a great deal of effort to obtain a mount.
At the very least, the mounts owned by the major sects were only inferior beasts.
These mounts were treasures that one could only dream of but not obtain.
'Not bad, not bad.
I should quit while I'm ahead. I won't draw anymore!
What can you do to me? '
Based on the system's usual behavior, the rest of the lucky draw would be a bunch of 'thank you's'.
Lu Zhou was extremely satisfied.
…
Meanwhile, in the Land of Wuwang in the far north.
In the barren wilderness, a group of wild horses galloped madly, their hooves glowing with light.
Behind the herd, a horse with snow-white fur and a fiery-red tail that was 10 feet long from its head to its tail and eight feet tall from its hooves to its back stopped. It was clearly different from the others.
It seemed to have heard a call.
"Neigh!"
There was a cry.
It suddenly broke away from the herd and flew toward the south.
…
After the lucky draw, Lu Zhou no longer touched the lucky draw system. Instead, he shifted his attention to the Three Scrolls of Heavenly Writing.
After meditating on the Human Scroll, Lu Zhou had basically figured out the usage and effects of the four techniques. What was the Earth Scroll?
His eyes moved down.
String after string of mysterious characters appeared in front of him.
It was crooked, and the symbols were strange.
If the symbols of the Human Scroll were more like a hieroglyph of the past, then the symbols of the Earth Scroll could only be described as a mess.
The words of the "Human" Handscroll still had some rules to follow.
After comprehending it, the mnemonic chant of the Heavenly Book's supernatural power would gradually appear. This Earth Book … was truly baffling.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
Don't panic.
He looked at the price of the item cards to calm himself down.
There was no change.
"The method of comprehension is the same as the Human Scroll?" Lu Zhou wondered.
The 'Human' Scroll and the 'Earth' Scroll had been separated.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhou was in no hurry to study the Earth Scroll. Instead, he meditated on the Human Scroll's Heavenly Writing scrolls.
He had to fill up his extraordinary power first to be safe.
With this thought in mind, Lu Zhou sat down with his legs crossed. He placed his palms before his dantian.
At the same time, he breathed in and out.
This was equivalent to cultivating on two fronts.
…
Inside the Taixu Academy's meeting hall.
"Patriarch … How are we going to fight the Nine-leaf cultivators? We don't have much time left. In a few days, the Nine-leaf cultivators will arrive. Who can stop them? "An elder was so anxious that his face was flushed.
"Unless the Divine Capital is willing to help us!"
"Now that the Divine Capital is locked in a fierce battle with the Nether Sect … They won't have the time to take care of us."
Everyone present was speechless.
They looked at Lin Xin who was frowning.
Lin Xin was in a terrible mood as well.
It was not only the Taixu Academy. In the current cultivation world, any sect would avoid a Nine-leaf cultivator, let alone the Taixu Academy.
Most elites would rather hide behind the barriers of their sects and cultivate in secret to raise their cultivation bases.
Unfortunately, it was easier said than done to attain the Nine-leaf stage in such a short time.
In truth, Lin Xin was at his wit's end.
At this moment …
A disciple walked in, cupped his fists, and said, "Patriarch, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
The others were shocked when they heard this.
"Invite him in."
Shortly after, a disciple led Great Yan's Crown Prince, Liu Zhi, into the meeting hall.
The Taixu Academy elders rose to their feet.
Lin Xin walked out as well.
Before they could speak, Liu Zhi hastily waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. Let's get straight to the point. "
He strode into the meeting hall and sat on Lin Xin's throne.
Lin Xin could only walk to the seat on the left.
Liu Zhi sat down and said, "I know the Evil Sky Pavilion has their eyes on the Taixu Academy … I'll show you a way out."
The eyes of the members of the Taixu Academy brightened.
Lin Xin cupped his fists and said, "Please enlighten me, Your Highness."
At this moment, Liu Zhi waved his hand.
Two soldiers who had followed him carried a box in.
They placed it on the floor. Clang!
The others looked at the box in confusion.
Liu Zhi said, "Open it!"
The two soldiers opened the box.
The others looked at it.
Inside the box was a set of extremely old armour.
There were red threads woven from a unique material on the armor. There were also special red knots on the edges and corners.
However, after a long time, the color of the armor had dimmed. It was so red that it was almost purple.
"This is …" Lin Xin was even more puzzled.
Liu Zhi said, "I can't be bothered to beat around the bush. With the Taixu Academy's abilities, it's impossible for you to deal with a Nine-leaf cultivator. Under the heavens, only the Imperial family can … I'll lend this armor to you. However … I have a condition. "
Liu Zhi's words baffled Lin Xin.
'Armor? Condition? '
Lin Xin asked, "Please clarify, Your Highness!"
Liu Zhi glanced at him and said, "Do you know why the former emperor was able to shake the nine provinces and rule over the 12 nations of Rongxi and Rongbei?"
"Naturally, it was because of the Imperial family's unparalleled power," Lin Xin replied.
The Taixu Academy had a close relationship with the Imperial family. Naturally, they knew how powerful the Imperial family was.
Liu Zhi smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, this armor came from an elite … According to the secret scrolls in the palace, this elite came from the northern borders on a coffin. He traveled across the 12 Other Tribes nations and finally arrived in Great Yan. He once left a message: Nobody is allowed to enter the Nine-leaf stage, and nobody is allowed to enter the Nine-leaf stage. This armor will activate its special power when it encounters a Nine-leaf cultivator. "
'Elite?'
When the others heard this, an expression of shock appeared on their faces.
They looked at Liu Zhi. He did not seem to be lying.
Was this … one of Great Yan's Imperial family's trump cards?
Liu Zhi suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, the Divine Capital's Ten Terminal Formation was created by this elite."
"…"
The power of the Ten Terminal Formation had long been renowned under the heavens.
No matter how many leaves an elite had, they had to keep a low profile in the Divine Capital.
For thousands of years, the people had thought that the Divine Capital's Ten Terminal Formation originated from the collective wisdom of the Confucian sects.
However, it seemed like that was not the case.
How many secrets did the Imperial family have?
After a long moment of silence, Lin Xin finally said, "Your Highness, do you want me to wear this armor and fight Old Villain Ji?"
"That's right."
The others exchanged a look.
Although Lin Xin had lived for a long time, he still felt uneasy when faced with such a matter. "How can you prove that this armor is real, Your Highness?"
The Nine-leaf stage was a dream to begin with.
If Old Villain Ji had not shown the world the might of the Nine-leaf stage, nobody would have believed in the existence of the Nine-leaf stage.
"You don't have a choice!" Liu Zhi said gruffly.
"…"
Lin Xin was speechless.
"If you don't believe me, pick up the armor and take a good look … Who under the heavens can make something like this?" Liu Zhi said, enunciating each word clearly.
Lin Xin's fingers trembled.
He bent down and took out the armor.
It was heavy. It weighed more than 50 catties.
However, for cultivators like them, it was not heavy at all.
Lin Xin held the armor in his hand and examined it carefully.
He was the Taixu Academy's Patriarch, an Eight-leaf expert. When he saw the exquisite veins on the armor, he was shocked.
"This is unprecedented … this is unprecedented!" Lin Xin could not help but feel excited.
The other elders with lower cultivation bases, naturally, could not understand it. They could not understand the depth of the armor.
Liu Zhi seemed confident that Lin Xin would understand it.
A smug smile appeared on his face as he said, "… Do you really think His Majesty would research the Nine-leaf stage just because of some nonexistent legends?"
'No wonder … No wonder.'
"Stop looking at it. The Formation veins on the armor are unique and can't be replicated," Liu Zhi said.
Lin Xin suppressed his excitement and asked, "What's your condition, Your Highness?"
