Chapter 1300: New Item Card
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Zhao Yue?”
Before this, Duanmu Sheng, Zhao Yue, Si Wuya, Zhu Honggong, Little Yuan, and Conch were the only disciples who had yet to complete their apprenticeships. Little Yuan’er and Conch had met the requirements to complete their apprenticeships, but Lu Zhou rejected them.
Lu Zhou always thought Duanmu Sheng would be his next disciple to complete his apprenticeship. Although Duanmu Sheng was slow, he had fused the Great Void Seed, Lu Wu’s Qi essence, and the Lilis’ corrosive energy. His improvement over this short duration had been tremendous as well. He had absorbed five or six life hearts recently and was just a step away from sprouting his eleventh leaf. He did not expect Zhao Yue to beat Duanmu Sheng to it.
“Yu Shangrong did not meet the requirements to complete his apprenticeship when he sprouted his eleventh leaf. He only met the requirements after he comprehended a new sword path. Does the system have different standards for all of them?”
It was obvious that Yu Shangrong’s requirements were higher. However, he had mastered Calm Disturbance when he only had ten leaves.
From the looks of it, two conditions had to be met for his disciples to complete their apprenticeships: first, their strength had to be at the Thousand Realms Whirling Stage; second, they had to comprehend a unique cultivation method. The first one was easy to measure, but the second one was rather vague.
“Complete apprenticeship.”
“Ding! Your disciple, Zhao Yue, has successfully completed her apprenticeship.”
“Ding! Disciples will provide more rewards for their master after leaving their master and entering the world.”
“Ding! You’re rewarded with a random card. When you use this card, a rare item will be randomly awarded to you.”
“Ding! After Zhao Yue completes her apprenticeship, she can establish a sect and accept disciples. Maximum number of disciples: 3.”
“Ding! You will no longer receive merit points for teaching Zhao Yue.”
Lu Zhou waved his hand. A translucent card appeared in his hand. He chose to skip his routine and said, “Use.”
“Ding! Used the random card. Obtained: advanced enhanced Reversal Card x10, Duplication Card x1.”
Lu Zhou was familiar with the enhanced Reversal Card. The advanced and enhanced version should be even more powerful. He had many years of life now so he did not have much need for Reversal Cards. Nevertheless, they were better than nothing.
After putting away the Reversal Cards, he looked at the Duplication Card.
“Ding! Duplication Card: Can duplicate any item card. The effect of the duplicated card is 100% of the original. There’s a probability of doubling the effect.”
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. The card was very useful. If he duplicated the Impeccable Card and triggered the doubled effect, did it not mean he would be invincible for an hour with the five-layered Golden Buddha’s Body? There was also the advanced enhanced Reduction Card. What would it be like if the effect was doubled?
Items: Critical Block Card x120(passive), Golden Taixu Mirror, Deconstruction Card x3, Concealment Card x3
Remaining merit points: 282,760
Lu Zhou did not find a suitable item card to duplicate. He knew the further he progressed, the more he could not rely on item cards.
The price of a Reduction Card was 22,000 merit points now. Every time he bought one, it would increase by 1,000 merit points. Nine cards would cost him 234,000 merit points. Four Synthesis Cards cost 80,000 merit points. It would cost him 314,000 merit points to synthesize an advanced enhanced Reduction Card.
“…”
It was ridiculously expensive.
Lu Zhou wanted to synthesize this card because needed to obtain a life heart that was suitable for him. Although he now had 13 Birth Charts, he was still far from becoming a Venerable Master.
At this moment, Duanmu Sheng’s voice rang from outside.
“Master, Venerable Master Qin has returned.”
“Alright.”
After gathering his thoughts, Lu Zhou left the hall that Ye Wei had prepared for him.
…
When Lu Zhou arrived near the cloud platform, Qin Renyue tossed Qin De’s corpse to the ground before he cupped his fists together and said, “Brother Lu, fortunately, Qin De did not do anything irreversible. It’s unfortunate that he’s dead so I can’t make him apologize to you.”
Lu Zhou said, “It’s best that nothing like this happens again.”
“Brother Lu, don’t worry,” Qin Renyue assured him.
Lu Zhou flew toward the flying chariot, and the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion followed suit.
At this time, Qin Renyue asked, “Brother Lu, why don’t you come to my clan for a visit?”
“What’s the matter?” Lu Zhou asked, puzzled. He did not want to waste time on meaningless pleasantries.
Qin Renyue replied, “The imbalance has worsened. The green lotus domain seems peaceful, but I’m still worried. This is the fifth imbalance in nearly 1,000 years. This time’s imbalance is the most serious. In the past, the Equalizers would interfere. However, this time, the Equalizers didn’t appear at all.”
Lu Zhou thought of Lan Xihe. When Lan Xihe let the Halcyon Divine Bird kill Qin De, was she not interceding for the White Tower Council? Naturally, he could not ask this question. He asked, “Are you afraid of the Equalizers?”
“I’m not afraid. However, it’s hard to resist the Equalizers. 30,000 years ago, there was a brilliant Venerable Master from another domain. In the end, he was taken away but an Equalizer,” Qin Renyue replied.
“A brilliant Venerable Master?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.
“That’s right. Alas, I’ve never met him; I’ve only heard of him. Coincidentally, his surname is Lu as well,” Qin Renyue explained.
Lu Li’s eyes lit up like the sun immediately. If it were not for Lu Zhou’s previous order, he really wanted to tell Qin Renyue that the brilliant Venerable Master was right in front of him. Nevertheless, he could not help but nod and say, “You’re right. He’s truly brilliant.”
“You know him?” Qin Renyue asked.
Yan Zhenluo smiled as he said, “Venerable Master Lu is his ancestor.”
“Ancestor?” Qin Renyue was shocked. The Evil Sky Pavilion was truly filled with hidden experts! First, there was the mysterious expert who killed Qin De, and now, there was a descendant of the brilliant Venerable Master Lu! Venerable Master Lu was someone capable of defeating another Venerable Master, Lord Zhennan, and Tian Wu! One could only imagine how heaven-defying Venerable Master Lu was. The more he heard about the Evil Sky Pavilion, the more he felt ignorant.
“That’s all in the past. A hero doesn’t mention past glories,” Lu Li said with unconcealable pride.
“It’s an honor to meet you,” Qin Renyue said.
At this time, Lu Zhou interjected, “Are there many Equalizers?”
“Their numbers aren’t small and aren’t big. There’s at least one Equalizer in each domain. They come from the Great Void and maintain the balance. If an existence that tips the balance appears, their duty is to get rid of it,” Qin Renyue said.
“Where’s the Great Void?” Mingshi Yin asked.
Qin Renyue shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. The only thing I’m sure of is that the Great Void exists.”
Lu Zhou nodded before he said, “I have something to attend to today. Let’s talk another day.”
A regretful expression appeared on Qin Renyue’s face as he said, “Alright. Let’s talk another day.”
At this time, Ye Wei and the other elders walked over and cupped their fists together to send Lu Zhou off.
Lu Zhou glanced at Ye Wei and called out, “Ye Wei.”
“Please speak, old sir.”
“Do you know Ye Zhen?” Lu Zhou asked.
“Ye Zhen?” Ye Wei shook her head. “I’ve never heard of him.”
It seemed like Lu Zhou would not be able to find out about the origins of the Purple Glazed Ceramic and Ye Zhen even in Yannan.
“Take care of yourself,” Lu Zhou said before he turned around and entered the flying chariot.
After the flying chariot flew to the distance, Ye Wei and the other three elders sighed in relief and sat down one after another.
At this moment, Qin Renyue glanced at Ye Wei and the others before he said, “Although I don’t get along with Yannan, Ye Zheng’s dead. From now on, there’ll be no conflict between my Qin clan and Yannan.”
Ye Wei, the three elders, and Yannan disciples were silent. This was considered very good and rare that they were not kicked when they were down.
Qin Renyue left Yannan after that, carrying Qin De’s corpse with him.
…
The flying carriage traveled at a constant speed in the sky.
“Old sir, although Yannan’s matters have been dealt with, don’t be in a hurry to return to the Unknown Land. Why don’t you come to my house as a guest?” Zhao Yu asked.
“Your house? Xiangyang?” Lu Zhou asked curiously.
Zhao Yu said, “Uh… My house isn’t in the capital. However, if you want to go to Xiangyang, we can go to Xiangyang. I have a mansion there.”
As soon as Zhao Yu’s voice fell, a notification rang in Lu Zhou’s mind.
“Ding! Worshiped by 105,050 people.. Reward: 105,050 merit points.”
