Chapter 912 - We Meet Again, Yan Zhenluo
Chapter 912: We Meet Again, Yan Zhenluo
The power of the supreme mystic power had been depleted so the scenes were, naturally, interrupted. He did not recover much of the supreme mystic power over the past two hours, to begin with.
“Old Eighth is in the yellow lotus domain and has the help of an expert like Lu Li so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
After gathering his thoughts, he looked at the two Synthesis Cards he had just obtained. A question suddenly appeared in his mind: if he had three Peak Trial Cards, what would the synthesized cards be like?
Unfortunately, apart from the three Peak Trial Cards he obtained when he first transmigrated, it had been difficult to obtain Peak Trial Cards. It was good enough if he could obtain one, let alone three.
Following that, Lu Zhou brought three fire spirit stones before bringing out the Purple Glazed Ceramic.
The Purple Glazed Ceramic was now at the desolate grade. After being forged with three fire spirit stones, its grade would rise. However, he needed a forging expert like Wang Dachui to forge it. Fortunately, he had a refining talisman so he did not need to ask for help.
Lu Zhou waved his hand and brought the refining talisman out before he casually lit it up. Subsequently, he tossed the fire spirit stones into the fire. When the fire spirit stones were melted by the almost translucent flames, it made for a rather magical sight. After that, he tossed the Purple Glazed Ceramic into the fire.
...
Early in the morning the next day.
Under Si Wuya’s plans, the civil and military officials and the Great Generals of the Ten Paths submitted without any objection. Those who did not submit or could be trusted were demoted or sent back to their hometowns. With that, Li Yunzheng successfully regained authority over Great Tang.
On the eastern wall.
Yu Shangrong stood against the wind, looking at the capital.
Yu Zhenghai looked over and asked, “Second Junior Brother, are you worried that you won’t be able to activate your Birth Charts?”
Ever since Lu Zhou manifested his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, many of them had noticed a problem. How was one going to go about activating their Birth Charts without a lotus?
Yu Shangrong only said, “We’ll cross that bridge when the time comes.”
“Unfortunately, Eldest Senior Brother has no choice but to take the lead...” Yu Zhenghai said.
“It’s still unknown who’s going to take the lead...” Yu Shangrong was one who would not easily admit defeat. Even if he no longer had a golden lotus, he would continue to cultivate. He had not even sprouted the tenth leaf; he would only be seeking trouble by thinking about the Thousand Realms Whirling now.
Yu Zhenghai brought out his Jasper Saber at this moment and wiped it with his sleeve. He was just about to ask Yu Shangrong to look at his bright desolate-grade Jasper Saber when...
“Mister Second, someone from the Sky Research Court came over and asked me to pass this to you!” Ji Fengxing shouted from below.
The duo turned around and looked at Ji Fengxing and saw him carrying a rectangular brown object in his arms. It did not seem like its made of wood; it looked more like a slab of stone.
Yu Shangrong asked in confusion, “What’s that?”
“Wang Dachui said that you have to personally open it. He wanted to bring it to you, but Mister Seventh has something urgent to discuss with him so he entrusted me to bring it to you,” Ji Fengxing replied.
Yu Zhenghai patted Yu Shangrong’s shoulder and said, “It looks broken after it’s reforged. Second Junior Brother, if it really doesn’t work, I’m willing to give you the Jasper Saber. After all, I can still fight without a weapon. Moreover, the Great Dark Heaven Memorial is an invincible cultivation method...”
Yu Shangrong ignored Yu Zhenghai. Instead, he extended his arm.
A surge of golden energy appeared immediately and brought the thing in Ji Fengxing’s arm to him.
Swoosh!
The energy looked like a golden dragon as it moved to bring the item back to Yu Shangrong’s hand.
Yu Shangrong tightened his grip, slightly cracking the stone that encased the item inside. He frowned before he increased his strength.
Crack!
The stone cracked grew bigger and faint Primal Qi leaked out before they entered Yu Shangrong’s body through his hand. He felt as though he was entire body was buzzing.
Yu Shangronrg’s eyes lit up immediately. He turned his hand slightly as an energy sword burst out, cracking the stone open completely. Soon enough, an unbroken Longevity Sword that shone with a faint light and emitted a cold air was revealed.
Yu Shangrong let the Longevity Sword hovered in front of him. As soon as he released his Primal Qi, 80,000 energy swords appeared in the sky immediately. He made it seem like an easy task when he did this. Initially, without the Longevity Sword, he could manifest 60,000 energy swords. With the Longevity Sword, he easily manifested 80,000 energy swords.
At this moment, the royal guards looked up at the sky that was filled with energy swords.
“Flood... Flood grade?” Yu Zhenghai exclaimed in surprise. The Longevity Weapon was a heaven-grade weapon before this, but after being reforged by the Sky Research Court, it jumped straight to the flood grade?!
‘This..’ Yu Zhenghai silently put away his desolate-grade Jasper Saber. He suddenly felt it was slightly unfair.
Yu Shangrong dispersed the sky full of energy swords with a greatly satisfied expression on his face before he said, “Eldest Senior Brother, although I regard this sword as my life, since it broke, I’d learn to get by. The sword is so good, I can’t possibly just keep it for myself. Eldest Senior Brother, do you want to share it?”
Yu Shangrong clenched his hand, and the Longevity Sword reverted to its ordinary appearance. Nevertheless, when the sunlight glinted off of it, it still emitted an aura that was more formidable than a desolate-grade weapon.
“Congratulations, Second Junior Brother. Although the sword is good, I still prefer the saber. Moreover, it’s just the flood grade, after all. Sooner or later, the Jasper Saber will be at the flood grade as well,” Yu Zhenghai said.
At this moment, Ji Fengxing exclaimed from below, “It’s the Longevity Sword! Wang Dachui said it would take three months to reforge, but the forging masters of the Sky Research Court worked together and reforged it in under a month!”
Yu Shangrong said, “Thank them for me.”
“Alright,” Ji Fengxing said.
Ji Fengxing was about to leave when Yu Zhenghai suddenly jumped down and called out, “Wait!”
“Is there anything I can help you with, Mister First?”
“Where’s Wang Dachui now?”
“He’s in Mister Seventh’s study.”
“What a coincidence! It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken to my Seventh Junior Brother. Take me to him,” Yu Zhenghai said.
“Oh.” Ji Fengxing scratched his head. Did Yu Zhenghai not ask about Wang Dachui? How did it end up with Yu Zhenghai wanting to see Si Wuya?
...
Another two days passed.
When Lu Zhou heard a faint cracking noise, he opened his eyes and saw the fire from the refining talisman had vanished. Then, he gauged his supreme mystic power. Indeed, without the Purple Glazed Ceramic, his speed of replenishing the supreme mystic power was much slower. He had only managed to replenish half of it.
Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve and the Purple Glazed Ceramic flew into his hand.
“Ding! Obtained the flood-grade Purple Glazed Ceramic.”
Lu Zhou clenched his hand. In just an instant, a refreshing energy coursed through his body before going straight to his heart. By slightly mobilizing his Primal Qi, he could feel the energy circulating his body at a leisurely pace.
As for the Purple Glazed Ceramic, as soon as Lu Zhou activated it, it automatically helped him mobilize his Primal Qi and circulate it through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and his Dantian’s sea of Qi.
“Not bad.” With the flood-grade Purple Glazed Ceramic, it was as though he was constantly in his cultivation state. Although it was not as fast as if he were to really cultivate, with time on its side, it was incredibly useful. Moreover, there was no limit to the times he could use the Purple Glazed Ceramic. He also discovered that his speed of replenishing supreme mystic power had increased by four or five times. With this, he only needed two days to fully replenish his supreme mystic power; it was unlike before when he needed seven days to replenish the power.”
“What will happen if it goes through a ‘fusion’?” Lu Zhou wondered out loud. He knew it would be easy to fuse it.
Lu Zhou did not dwell on the matter and rose to his feet.
After a moment, he recalled his agreement with Yan Zhen Luo. He did not tell anyone about this matter.
After a brief moment, he activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic again and flew out of the royal palace.
...
As expected, just as Lu Zhou arrived near the stone formation, Yan Zhenluo showed up immediately.
Yan Zhenluo cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou as he said, “Brother Lu, you’re here. This means you believe my words...” Then, he raised his head to look at the sun.
Lu Zhou asked, “Have you been hiding here over the past few days?”
“The Birth Chart Beast might appear at any time. As an envoy, I can only wait here for it to appear. After we’re done with the Birth Chart, I’ll give Brother Lu the life heart.”
“Aren’t you afraid the Black Tower Council would pursue this matter if you give the life heart to me?” Lu Zhou said.
“They should be used to it. Many years ago, the Black Tower Council had lost many life hearts. They were stolen, lost, or embezzled.”
