He was merely grumbling.
Perhaps, it was because he had transmigrated for a long time, he felt like an old man when he did things. In this strange and dazzling world, if he let his guard down, he would die. Sometimes, he even forgot what he looked like in the past.
His initial impulse to return to his youth had unknowingly worn off a lot.
If he had not reached the Nine-leaf stage, perhaps, Lu Zhou would be a handsome and talented young man now. Alas, he could not rush this. He had to accumulate Reversal Cards slowly.
…
Whitzard hovered obediently in the air.
It seemed to be expressing itself as it stayed close to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou glanced in the direction Ji Liang disappeared into. Then, he leaped onto Whitzard and returned to Cloud Mountain.
With the Violet Glazed Ceramic, Lu Zhou's movements were exceptionally easy. Moreover, his cultivation base was profound.
He returned to his room.
Lu Zhou looked at his remaining merit points.
Merit points: 178040.
After replenishing two cards, he felt like he was back to his old self.
Lu Zhou looked at the menu of the item cards.
[Mentor] and [Mentor of All Ages] appeared in the most eye-catching spots.
The two cards had a total of 60,000 merit points.
Blood was expensive.
Should he buy them or not?
Lu Zhou gauged his cultivation base. The mid-stage of the Nine-leaf stage was slightly behind him. He would have to cultivate more to reach the leaf-sprouting stage.
A Thousand Realms Whirling, 500,000 merit points.
After giving it some thought, Lu Zhou decided to buy them.
[Ding! 60,000 merit points have been spent. You have received 'Mentor' and 'World Mentor'. Do you want to use them?]
How pitiful parents are!
I'm just worried about my disciple. '
"Use."
The two cards vanished at almost the same time.
After using them, Lu Zhou did not feel any obvious changes. Everything seemed normal.
He even stood up and stretched his body. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
There was no difference.
"…"
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhou decided to do the lucky draw.
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Spent 110 luck points. Obtained Reversal Card x1."
"…"
Lu Zhou had just spent 60,000 merit points. Did he just get a f * cking Reversal Card with 110 luck points?
He was not convinced.
He looked at his remaining merit points. 117990.
"Lucky draw."
[Ding! Consumed 50 merit points. Obtained mount 'Dang Kang'.]
"Dang Kang is extremely rare. The mount chosen is still young. Dang Kang will head to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
He was finally famous.
However, on second thought, why did the System give me so many mounts?
For a cultivator, one mount was enough. Currently, Lu Zhou had four of them.
Including Dang Kang, there were five of them in total.
You want me to open a zoo?
Lu Zhou remembered Qiong Qi.
Among all the mounts, Qiong Qi's combat power was the strongest, but it was still in its infancy.
It had a good relationship with Mingshi Yin. It was as though they were born together.
If he couldn't use it all himself, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it to his disciples.
At the same time, in an unknown mountain range far away, a boar-like beast, six feet long and four feet tall, with two large ears and four tusks protruding from its mouth, seemed to have heard some sort of summon. It left the herd and flew towards the horizon.
Lu Zhou drew another 100 luck points but found nothing. He stopped the lucky draw and entered his cultivation state.
After obtaining Dang Kang, he did not feel the pinch even though he had to pay 500 merit points.
Perhaps, it was the Violet Glazed Ceramic that made it easier for him to calm down.
As he breathed, the circulation of his Primal Qi was clearly much faster than usual.
Time passed by quickly.
…
After Ji Liang was healed by Lu Zhou, it felt much better. It galloped toward the dark forest.
At this moment, Yu Shangrong was walking at a steady pace through the forest.
When he was young, he had traversed endless forests and rugged mountains and rivers with an ordinary body. He had survived countless life-or-death situations.
He was experienced enough to know how to deal with wild beasts in the forest.
Things were different now. The environment here was much more complicated. Yu Shangrong slowed down to reduce the possibility of encountering beasts.
"Beasts?"
At this moment, Yu Shangrong saw a faint light shining in the slightly empty area ahead of him.
However, his experience and common sense told him that it did not seem like a beast. It seemed more like some sort of treasure.
This was a common occurrence in the human cultivation world. Some cultivators tried to capture beasts, but they were killed by the beasts instead. Their treasures would be lost, and the lucky ones would simply pick them up.
"I'm in luck."
Yu Shangrong walked over.
Huge rocks stood before him. They were arranged in a disorderly manner. It looked like a huge stone forest.
He did not act recklessly. Instead, he picked up a rock and tossed it over. When he saw that there were no problems, he carefully walked over. He circled the stone pillar and arrived at the source of the light.
"Veins?"
Usually, Formation veins would only glow when activated by someone.
Clearly, someone had been here.
Yu Shangrong's perception of danger was different from others. He immediately sensed that something was amiss. He pushed away from the ground and used the little Primal Qi he had left to shoot into the sky in an attempt to leave the stone forest.
Just when he was about to fly out, the stone forest instantly linked up and formed an inescapable net.
Yu Shangrong frowned. He lowered his body and landed again.
'I can't get out?'
He tried to leave on foot. However, whenever he tried to walk out of the stone forest, the stone forest would link up and block his way.
"I can enter but not leave?
Forget it. I'll just cultivate here. It won't be too late to leave when I'm healed. "
Yu Shangrong leaned against a stone pillar. He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
At this moment, a deep chuckle rang from outside the stone forest.
"Retribution … I didn't expect retribution to come so soon."
The person who appeared was none other than Ye Zhen's disciple, Jiang Xiaosheng.
He was also the person whom Yu Shangrong had followed all the way here.
Yu Shangrong opened his eyes and looked at the shadow in the darkness. He said calmly, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Your master killed my master. It's only right for me to kill you."
"Did you design this Formation?" Yu Shangrong asked.
"I'm not that capable, but I can tell you this. This Formation is a Formation left behind by our predecessors. Many forests have it, and it's been around for thousands of years. There are 361 stone pillars in each area. They form a heavenly net that only allows entry but not exit. The piles of bones around them are the best proof of this. You're unlucky, "Jiang Xiaosheng said.
"Do you think this Formation can trap me?" Yu Shangrong asked in surprise.
"My master is more confident than you are. He originally had nine lives, but five of them were sucked away by the Formation. Later on, he absorbed the energy of cultivators of the same realm to return to six lives. That's the price he had to pay, "Jiang Xiaosheng said.
Yu Shangrong stood up slowly.
With his remaining Primal Qi, he moved to the edge of the stone forest with a flash.
Dozens of energy swords appeared above his head.
Jiang Xiaosheng staggered backward in fear. He moved far away from Yu Shangrong.
At the same time, the heavenly net formed by the stone forest separated Yu Shangrong and Jiang Xiaosheng.
"Do you think your master is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me?" Yu Shangrong shook his head and said indifferently, "There's no need for you to be afraid. My Primal Qi is exhausted. I'll give you a chance to avenge your master. Do you dare to come in? "
Indeed, it was easy for a confident person to fall into a state of conceit.
However, it was also a weapon that struck fear in the hearts of his enemies.
Jiang Xiaosheng gulped. He took another step back and said angrily, "Don't try to scare me! You can't even protect yourself now. It won't be long before you become a pile of bones in the Formation. Sooner or later, I'll become an expert who surpasses you! "
"Sooner or later?"
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. He gave Jiang Xiaosheng a knowing smile. He returned to the stone pillar and sat down to recuperate.
Whether he could get out or not was another matter. His priority now was to recover his cultivation base.
Jiang Xiaosheng said, "Let's wait and see."
At this moment, Ji Liang, whose hooves glowed faintly, dove from above the dark forest.
Neigh!
Jiang Xiaosheng jumped in fright. "A beast?"
He ran away immediately.
Yu Shangrong's voice rang from the depths of the stone forest. "Ji Liang?"
Neigh!
"Don't come in." Yu Shangrong hovered in the air. When he saw Ji Liang flying toward him, a surprised smile appeared on his face. "I told you that we're fated."
He panted.
Yu Shangrong could not stay in the air for too long. He had no choice but to descend. He asked, "Did master send you?"
Ji Liang nodded.
Yu Shangrong sighed and said, "You should go back for now. The environment here isn't bad. I'll stay here and comprehend the sword path."
Neigh!
"Go back."
In Yu Shangrong's opinion, asking for help from the outside world was an embarrassing matter. He would rather let Ji Liang go back first.
Ji Liang panted. It shook its head and flew toward the top of the stone forest.
Yu Shangrong frowned. "You don't want to go back?"
Ji Liang neighed. Then, it dove.
When it entered the stone forest, a transparent spiderweb could be seen on the interconnected stone forest.
Ji Liang came to Yu Shangrong's side.
Yu Shangrong was not angry, nor did he reprimand Ji Liang. Instead, something stirred in him. He tossed his Longevity Sword on the ground and stroked Ji Liang's mane. "Alright. When my cultivation base recovers, I'll bring you out of this stone forest. "
