Quiet room.
Lu Bei stopped practicing dual cultivation and closed his eyes to sense his new skills.
[Pure World Heaven Level (fixed level)]
Gather the power of the sun, avoid the poison of the scorching sun, the East God of the Sun Palace, the center of the pursuit of truth, and increase the output of all skills by 20% under the sun.
Taifu and Zhao Shiran are indeed top-level furnace cauldrons. Lu Bei has to admit it even if he doesn't want to. In the past two days, he has been absorbing Yin to replenish Yang and gaining experience, which is very enjoyable.
First, accompany Zhao Shiran to travel around the mountains and rivers, take some time to practice a little, and then go to the quiet room to find the master, add an hour. Without consuming qualifications, just relying on the help of dual cultivation, the Sun Killing Power Dao was deduced to Lv18.
It’s just that the Taifu’s eyes were full of contempt, and he looked at him as if he was looking at a scumbag.
Be bolder and remove the word "as if".
Lu Bei thought about it and realized that the Grand Tutor was right about him. He was indeed a scumbag. If he wasn't naturally free and easy and always strict with others but lenient with himself, he would definitely blame himself for a while.
In short, don't be ashamed and you will do it again next time.
"Have you arranged everything for Fox Two's tribulation?"
"nature."
In front of the quiet room, Lu Bei stopped and said, "Everything is taken into consideration. If the Huangji Sect can't figure it out, I don't mind helping the royal family to keep their throne."
"Overcoming the tribulation is no joke." The Grand Tutor frowned.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Taifu, to help me. Similarly, if the Huangji Sect's target is you, I will not turn a blind eye to it."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
—
The Stone Palace.
Zhu Xiushi’s territory.
Lu Bei couldn't agree with the three big characters on the plaque. Zhu Xiushi was a typical man who enjoyed watching the fun, so it would be more appropriate to name the palace "Lezi Palace".
Lu Bei had been in the capital for three days. He had stayed in the Imperial Garden for two nights and wandered around the Imperial City Secret Realm for two days. During this time, he had never shown his true colors, which made him very dissatisfied.
Although rowing does not rely on sails or oars, as long as there are waves, Zhu Xiushi took the initiative to throw away the oars, causing the boat of friendship to stagnate. This was her fault.
Bang bang bang!
"Sister Zhu, open the door! It's me, your most intimate confidant, Lu Bei from the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
"Sister Zhu?!"
"Grandma Zhu—"
After pounding for a while, Zhu Xiushi reluctantly opened the palace door. Shi Lin in the backyard saw the smiling Lu Bei and rubbed his temples with a headache.
She had heard about the family dinner, and also found out that Lu Bei had moved into the princess's bedroom. Having accomplished her mission and retired, she no longer had any reason to seal Lu Bei, and she did not want to meet him unless it was something important.
In the end, the door was still blocked.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiu Shi showed alertness. The weasel had no good intention in paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. Lu Bei came to his house for no reason, so he must have ulterior motives.
"Hey, what's that look on your face? Why are you standing so far away?"
Lu Bei took a step forward, and seeing Zhu Xiushi take a step back, he rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, this sect master is not here to rape anyone. I just came out of Jingshang Palace and have abstained from sex for a cup of tea."
"Detailed."
Zhu Xiushi's eyes lit up and he was no longer sleepy. He came to Lu Bei excitedly and said, "Taifu and Hu Er had a fight yesterday. What is their relationship now? Is it one generation or two generations apart?"
"peer."
"… "
Zhu Xiushi stood there in shock, his mouth opened into an O shape, and he felt terrible. The look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Bei changed from shock to fear, and finally to admiration.
Then, cautiously take a half step back.
Your heart is not only black, but also yellowish, dark yellow and dark yellow.
Lu Bei secretly disdains and said unhappily, "I want to ask you something. Let's go to the fish pond you contracted and talk while fishing."
…
By the pool, Lu Bei hung up the Qi Ling Pill and threw it out with a flick of the rod.
It is impossible to use new energy fishing method. As a fisherman, he still has basic moral integrity. If he can't catch anything, he can go to the market to buy it. It's not shameful. But if he can't catch anything, he will use electricity, which is very cruel and shameful.
Zhu Xiushi stood beside Lu Bei, his face rippling in the wind, his black hair slowly rising up, his curvy figure particularly eye-catching.
"Sect Master Lu, this is the secret realm of the Imperial City. The spiritual energy here is far more abundant than that of the outside world. The dragon carp in the pond are full of spiritual energy just by drinking water. You can't catch them with the Spirit-awakening Pill."
"What do you know? What I am fishing for is not fish, but artistic conception and the rhythm of Tao. If I wasn't worried about scaring you into going insane, I would have already switched to a straight hook."
Lu Bei pouted, refusing to admit his mistake, and said calmly, "My godmother has been in poor health recently, and coincidentally, she was caught in a thunder tribulation. Perhaps in a few days, I will wear mourning clothes and hold a big banquet in the Tianjian Sect."
"How much should I pay? Is ten taels enough?" Zhu Xiu Shi looked painfully relieved.
"That's great. My godmother will open the coffin and drag you along on the road."
Lu Bei retorted and got straight to the point: "It would be fine if Ju Niang died peacefully, but I'm afraid that the Huangji Sect will be unhappy and plan to do something to her when she is going through the tribulation."
"Impossible, only the Huangji Sect would be crazy to do this."
Zhu Xiushi shook his head decisively, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Hu Er was born in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters. Although she has never mentioned her origins, she can openly mingle in the human kingdom and dare to deal with the Holy Land envoy Master Bu Zi. This means that she must have made a request in the Holy Land and was recognized before she could pass freely."
After ruling out the possibility that the Huangji Sect contacted the Holy Land to eliminate Fox Er, Zhu Xiushi continued, "The Wan Yao Kingdom is even less likely. If the Huangji Sect had the guts to flirt with the demons, our royal family would dare to kill our relatives for the sake of justice. So they don't have the guts. You're overthinking it."
"This sect master also thinks so, but what the master said sounds like the truth, so we have to be on guard."
"You, me, the Grand Master, Fox Two, and my brother Zhu Xiuyun, a total of five masters at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. The Huangji Sect can't make any big waves."
Zhu Xiushi didn't take it seriously and waved his hand, saying, "If you don't pull the reins when you reach the cliff, you will die. The Huangji Sect is too stupid to do this."
Zhu Xiuyun.
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows. Before coming here, he asked the Grand Tutor about the two masters of the royal family who were at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. One was Zhu Xiu Shi and the other was named Zhu Xiu Yun.
According to the Grand Tutor, Zhu Xiuyun was originally a high-level cultivator who had reached the fourth level of tribulation. He had practiced in Dashan Temple, but failed in his fifth attempt to transcend tribulation and was transferred to a terrestrial immortal. From then on, he had no hope of reaching the Mahayana stage, and his realm of cultivation stagnated and he could not make any progress.
Because of him, the royal family consumed a lot of resources for cultivation, and later generations saved on clothing and food, resulting in uneven distribution of resources, which led to a large number of talents flowing into the Huangji Sect.
Lu Bei had met two of the three people from Huangji Sect who were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Zhu Siam.
Zhumu.
Of the two, Zhu Mu is an ordinary first-rate person in the Tribulation Crossing period, with a sharp mind but average strength.
Zhu Xian, on the contrary, is powerful but has a low IQ. He is a typical fighting maniac. He once fought against Chong Yuxiao and Yan Jun alone and did not lose.
Although they were chopped down in the end, his ultimate move also took away half of the health of the two sword cultivators.
Brainless and unhappy.
The Huangji Sect's trump card, a Tribulation Crossing cultivator, is named Zhu He, formerly known as Zhu Xiuhe. He has reached the fourth level of Tribulation Crossing and is equally strong as Zhu Xiuyun. He serves as a trump card to compete with the royal family.
Together with the great elder of Huangji Sect, Zhu Xiuzhu, the four of them are the most senior surviving cultivators of the Zhu family and can also be called ancestors.
With this comparison, the disparity between the worlds becomes immediately apparent.
While others were either at the fourth level or had changed their job to the fourth level, Zhu Xiushi was still hanging around at the second level, with no intention of getting struck by lightning or making any further progress.
Of course, she doesn't need to be sad, because with Zhu Xiuzhu, who has reached the great perfection of the fusion stage, as her support, she is not the weakest one.
I have to add here that Zhu Xiushi is not only the ancestor with the highest seniority, but Zhu Qilan's great-grandfather would call her "old aunt" when he saw her. She is also the oldest princess of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. She existed almost when the country was founded, and her treasures have been stored in the warehouse for 800 years and have never been sold.
Now that I have reached the tribulation period, I am like a treasure and it will be impossible to sell it in the future.
"What is the relationship between you four brothers and sisters? Why did you split up for no reason?"
"No one split up the family, and after a while they became strangers, and each went their own way."
Zhu Xiushi looked into the distance, as if reminiscing about the past, his expression slightly sad: "When Wu Zhou was first established, the Huangji Sect was very powerful and its achievements were so great that it shocked the emperor. My father asked Zhu He to join the Huangji Sect. He was young and intelligent, and his talent was far superior to mine..."
"The Huangji Sect knew what the emperor was planning. They appeared to be friendly on the surface, but secretly they had ulterior motives. Zhu He was looked down upon by the Huangji Sect and suffered a lot."
"At that time, the Huangji Sect was not yet called the Huangji Sect..."
"There are more and more descendants of the Zhu family, led by Zhu He, who are gradually becoming influential in the Huangji Sect..."
"The Huangji Sect launched a counterattack and fought a desperate battle. All of the Huangji Sect's members in the Tribulation Crossing Stage were killed. The royal family also lost many seniors, and their luck was damaged and there was a lack of successors."
"After the chaos of the civil war ended, Zhu He took over the Huangji Sect, changed its name to its current name, and vowed to assist the royal family..."
"Later, it became what it is now. We are incompatible and no one is willing to submit to the other."
The young dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon, history is a cycle.
Lu Bei nodded, then thought about it and felt that his evaluation was a bit inappropriate. The Zhu family raised the evil dragon themselves, and they all had the surname Zhu, so theoretically it was an internal fight within the clan.
"So, if it weren't for that internal conflict, Wu Zhou should have had more Tribulation Stages available?"
"That's about right. At least it's better than it is now."
Zhu Xiushi shook his head to dispel the gloom in his heart, and said cheerfully: "Zhu Dao, Zhu Qilan and Zhu Shihan, the young people have all become talented, and they can be expected to overcome the disaster. The Zhu family has also survived this disaster."
You are quite open-minded!
Lu Bei glanced at the silhouette and nodded secretly. It was pleasing to the eye and indeed quite wide.
"Master Lu, are you here just to ask about the past?"
Zhu Xiushi said: "If you are worried about the conspiracy of the Huangji Sect, there is no need to worry. We are in large numbers and can bully the few. If we fight one on one, there will be two onlookers left."
After saying that, she added that in the last fierce battle on the Qi-Yan front, Zhu Xian was knocked over by a big punch from the Ten-Eyed Demon, and now he still wets his shoes when he gets off the bed. There are only two people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the Huangji Sect who can fight, so they are not to be feared.
"If you say that, I will feel relieved."
"really?"
"How is that possible? With the Huangji Sect's current predicament, if they don't resist, they will be devoured alive by the royal family sooner or later. If they were the sect leader, they would rather hurt others and not benefit themselves, and let the royal family suffer as well." Lu Bei judged others by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
"If your mind is not right, everything you see will be distorted."
"What did you say?"
"Master Lu has a simple mind and is one of the best philanthropists in the world." Zhu Xiushi said with a serious face.
"Shame on you, you can even say such nonsense."
Lu Bei showed disdain, put away his fishing rod and said, "Let's go and settle the bill. It's time for your Zhu family's treasure house to open its legs to this clan leader."
"Now?!"
"What's wrong, can't I?"
"Of course not. The Golden Dragon of Luck is still here. If you take half of it away, I will become the eternal sinner of Wu Zhou." Zhu Xiushi shook his head repeatedly and refused to open his legs to Lu Bei no matter what.
"… "
Lu Bei's face darkened. Who was he looking down on? With his character of pluck the feathers of a passing goose and put them in the pot on the spot, if he really wanted to, he would definitely pack up all of them and take them away. Why would he leave half of them
