More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lu Sheng had just finished lunch and was about to return to the cave to continue his training when he was stopped by a junior apprentice brother.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, here's a letter for you. I saved it up a while ago. I couldn't find you, so I couldn't get in touch with you," the junior apprentice brother said helplessly.
"I've finally caught up with you."
Lu Sheng took the letter from his hand. To be precise, it was a letter and an invitation.
"Thank you. I'll be here every morning and night before the bell rings. If you have any problems with your training, you can come to me. I'll try my best to help." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother Lu." The junior apprentice brother was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. In reality, he had been guarding Lu Sheng for so many days just for this promise.
To Lu Sheng, teaching these junior apprentice brothers and sisters was very simple. He only needed to ask a few questions and scan their bodies with Devil Qi to figure out the problem.
It was even easier than teaching Master Liu Shanzi. It wouldn't take him more than a minute. And after teaching, he would quickly chase them away. This was also the main reason why he was known to be cold.
After watching the junior apprentice brother leave, Lu Sheng stood on the side road of the library and picked up the letter to read.
The letter was wrapped in light yellow papyrus. There was no name on the surface, but there was a red seal at the bottom, indicating that this was not a joke. This was because this kind of seal with complicated patterns meant that the cost of this letter was definitely not small, especially since the contents of the letter were required to be absolutely confidential.
The cost of a letter like this was equivalent to sending hundreds of letters. In this world, sending letters was not an easy thing to do.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and slowly tore open the envelope, pulling out the paper inside.
The greyish-white paper unfolded lightly, revealing the first clear and neat line of words.
"My friend Lu Sheng, it's been more than a year since we last met in the Northern Lands. I wonder how you're doing. Originally, I had a lot of troubles on my side, so I didn't want to have anything to do with you, lest I implicate you. But now is a special time, so I don't have to worry about this. Brother Lu, please trust me after reading the following content and make early preparations. As for the evidence, you can see it on the back of the letter. "
Seeing this, Lu Sheng had already guessed who the other party was. He flipped the letter over and saw a familiar treasure map that he had been keeping for a long time. All kinds of precious medicines were densely marked on it.
This was the gift that Li Shunxi had given him back then, the treasure map of the precious medicine.
By now, most of the herbs on the map had been found by Crimson Whale Sect. Only a small portion could not be located because of the geographical conditions.
These precious medicines were no longer of much use to the current Lu Sheng, but to ordinary experts, they were simply miraculous elixirs.
If it weren't for the fact that taking too many pills would cause toxins to accumulate in his body and affect his future development, Lu Sheng would have used these pills to create a few experts who could help him.
At this point, he flipped back and continued reading the contents of Li Shunxi's letter.
As he continued reading, Lu Sheng's expression changed from calm to solemn.
When he was done, Lu Sheng closed his eyes.
"Crack."
He crushed the letter into a ball, burning it with poisonous fire. In the blink of an eye, it turned into white ash.
"To think … such a thing could happen …" His expression was solemn. "If what he said is true, then … we're in deep trouble …"
Although Li Shunxi had no reason or reason to lie to him, Lu Sheng was not the kind of person who would believe whatever others said. As for the credibility of this letter, he too had his doubts.
As long as someone could bribe his trusted subordinates in the Northern Lands to disguise this letter, wouldn't they be able to piece together a treasure map?
Hence, the authenticity of this matter still needed to be verified.
Burning the letter and envelope, Lu Sheng picked up another invitation card.
It was a silvery-white rectangular invitation card with two words clearly written on it: Ascendant.
The two words were written forcefully and forcefully, as if they were going to cut through the thick invitation card.
Lu Sheng paused and looked at the two words carefully. It seemed to contain the concept of looking in all directions and covering the heavens and earth. It was extremely majestic.
He flipped open the invitation card. There was a line of small words inside.
"Song Hua Hui invites the first seat of the Prime Devil Sect, Young Master Lu Sheng, to arrive at the Wisdom Garden punctually on the evening of the ninth of November."
There was a slip of paper under the invitation card, on which was Shangyang Jiuli's handwriting.
After reading the slip of paper, Lu Sheng had a rough idea of what this Song Hua Hui was.
In reality, this was a special gathering organized by Shangyang Fei to win over the important figures of the forces under the Shangyang Family.
The forces under Shangyang Fei were extremely mysterious. Even Shangyang Jiuli only knew that she had a very powerful intelligence network.
This seemingly pitiful genius of a Noble Family had an unbelievably large supply of resources behind her. What was even stranger was that all of this was built by Shangyang Fei alone.
Such a huge power, such a huge net of influence, all of it was built bit by bit from nothing, unceasingly by her.
In the beginning, there were still people who could estimate her background. But now, no one knew what kind of power Shangyang Fei had.
In the letter, Shangyang Jiuli told Lu Sheng that Shangyang Fei had a very high position in the family. No one could compare to her in terms of fame or power. She was surprised when she received the invitation, but since Lu Sheng was invited, she couldn't miss it.
As for the reason, Shangyang Jiuli mentioned that Shangyang Fei not only had great influence in the Shangyang Family, but also in the other Noble Families in the outside world. She had many suitors. Although not all of them were on her side, most of them would more or less lend her a hand when she was in trouble. This way, she had great potential.
Shangyang Jiuli hoped that Lu Sheng would be able to make friends with his peers in the other Noble Families and expand his influence. If possible, it would be best to find some trouble to show off his strength and make a name for himself.
Burning Shangyang Jiuli's letter, Lu Sheng held the invitation in his hand, deep in thought.
"If the danger that Li Shunxi mentioned is real, then the Shangyang Family, as one of the true controllers of White Bell City, must have made some arrangements. I'll definitely be able to find some clues this time. Maybe this banquet is a good chance to verify the authenticity of this news. "
He suddenly thought of the drought in Yunzhou. Countless people died, be it mortals, Noble Families, or demons. They were all in terrible condition. If this danger was real, then the number of casualties would definitely be even more ridiculous …
The Enmity Fire Devil Body would probably take a few more days to complete. The more he cultivated, the more Aquarius Qi he would need, and the longer it would take to recover. Naturally, the progress would slow down.
But this was already far beyond Lu Sheng's imagination.
He calculated the time. If everything went smoothly, he could definitely complete the Enmity Fire Devil Body before attending the banquet.
Putting away the invitation, he continued to cultivate in the cave. The Order stage was mainly to train his ability to strengthen and adapt to poisonous flames.
Simply put, it was to use external fuel to strengthen the temperature and toxicity of the poison flames in the cross mark. At the same time, he would use special materials to strengthen the area where the poisonous flames were stored, turning the surrounding flesh and blood into a strong container that was immune to high temperature and poison.
Lu Sheng prepared a lot of materials for this, filling a whole carriage. Because of the terrifying recovery speed of Aquarius Qi, and his incredibly strong body, he didn't have to worry about getting burned.
At first, it was easy for him to use fuel to strengthen the poisonous flames.
But starting from the fourth level of Order, Lu Sheng couldn't take it anymore. The temperature and toxicity of the poisonous flames had reached a terrifying level.
Lu Sheng couldn't rely on his own body to resist it, so he started to use materials to soak and dye the flesh around the cross mark into special tissue materials.
Then he directly used the Modifier, and in just two days, he reached the maximum level of Order.
…
Five days later.
Lu Sheng's eyes were closed, and he stood naked in the deepest part of the cave. His body was surrounded by rings of sticky black flames that looked like liquid.
These flames surrounded him and danced in the air, emitting terrifying heat. The strangest thing was that when the black flames burned, they would naturally let out a painful cry that sounded like a human's groan.
This sound constantly echoed in the cave, as if there were countless people suffering at the same time.
Opening his eyes, Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed a ball of sticky black flames.
"According to the Enmity Fire Devil Body, there are five stages of Mortal, Surplus, Pass, Extinguish, and Enmity. As the stages change, the power of the poisonous flames will increase. My Order has now reached the highest level of Extinguish, and the flames I can emit at the same volume are no less than ten times more powerful than ordinary poisonous flames, and with the continuous support of Devil Qi … "
The originally useless Poison Flame had now become one of his main means of attack.
"It's time to start practicing the Enmity Fire Devil Body …"
Lu Sheng gently stretched out his hand, and the flames began to gather and spin in front of him like black lines, forming a black vortex that was as tall as a person.
Whoosh … Whoosh …
The flames rotated, and the whistling sound of the airflow constantly echoed in the cave.
Lu Sheng slowly clenched his fist.
As he clenched his fist, complicated triangular symbols appeared in the flame vortex in front of him. Every symbol was extremely complicated and familiar.
If Liu Shanzi could see this, he would definitely exclaim in shock. Because these symbols were exactly the same as the blood-colored symbols on the stone pillar in the Prime Devil Sect's square. But the symbols here were even more complicated.
"Enmity is the source of burning. Burn enmity, burn yourself, burn … everything!!"
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, black flames spewed out of Lu Sheng's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Countless poisonous flames surged out of his body and filled the entire cave.
His body slowly floated up and began to transform and expand rapidly. From his one-meter-tall Yin Extreme Form, he quickly returned to his three-meter-tall true form.
Then, he rapidly expanded from his true form to his six-meter-tall Yang Extreme Form.
"Bam!!"
Lu Sheng stomped heavily on the ground with his right foot. His huge and swollen lower limb was like a thick stone pillar, causing the entire cave to shake violently.
His entire body was burning with black flames, and from within the flames came the faint cries of humans.
Large amounts of flames surged out of the cracks in his carapace, as if his entire body was burning from the inside. But because of his terrifying fire resistance and powerful fine control, he actually did not suffer any fatal injuries.
Instead, in this state of burning, his body's fire resistance increased at an insane rate.
