The hot spring was wonderful. There might be some minerals inside. After taking a bath in the hot spring, Lu Li could feel clearly that his body was being enhanced. The hot spring could nourish his skin as well, making it fairer and smoother.
This hot spring was discovered half a month ago. His three wives had been spending some time here. The fairer gender aspired for beautiful looks. They would eagerly long for such a place where they could look better and at the same time cultivate.
Jiang Qiling proposed to build a manor here. The three of them had decided to claim ownership of this place. She also suggested building a Teleportation Formation which could send them to the entrance of the Inferno. When they were tired from cultivating, they could come over to take a rest. The hot spring could make them stronger and prettier all at once. One would be only too glad to do it.
His three wives hardly asked him for anything. Lu Li promised them at once. He immediately assigned warriors to build the manor and asked Ke Mang to start on the Teleportation Formation. Lu Li also had a super Teleportation Formation built within the manor. He declared the place as forbidden and only the authorized ones could go in.
For the past couple of days, his three wives had agreed to anything he wanted to do in bed. They even accepted to sleep with him together. Bai Qiuxue, who was usually reserved in this regard, had forsaken her shyness.
Because…
It had been a long time since they got married. However, none of the three wives was pregnant. The Lu Family had given them no pressure. Even so, the three of them were getting worried. After all, there were three forms of unfilial conduct, of which the worst was to have no descendants.
What was more, the three of them were actually competing against each other secretly. Jiang Qiling came from a prominent background with the Pavilion of Delicacy supporting her. She was a member of the royal. She was the future chosen warrior for the humans and had been given divine energy from the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. She had eight rank Bloodline and now was at the Earth Immortal Realm.
Why had Bai Qiuxue been cultivating with such great effort lately? She was trying to compete with Jiang Qiling and to prove that she was not weaker than her. Of course, Bai Qiuxue believed she could help Lu Li in the future if she could be stronger. Lu Li was improving. She did not want to be a glamour girl that was worthless to him.
It was almost impossible to have peace in a harem. A woman’s heart was a deep ocean of secrets. No matter how harmonious their relationships appeared to be, they would engage in mutual competition secretly.
Therefore, who could be pregnant first mattered significantly. The person that could bear the first son for Lu Li would be highly valued by the Lu Family, by Lu Renhuang, which would bring about an advance of that wife’s status in the Lu Family.
Lu Li was rather clear about their “strife openly and secretly”. That being said, he pretended ignorance. He would not favor any one of them either, and he would remain in this state as long as their actions were in moderation. Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling were smart enough to know that Lu Li would only despise them if they went too far.
The three of them fed Lu Li with some herbs. It must be him that had problems since none of them could get pregnant.
Lu Li was surprised himself. His body was fine, with the strength of a bull. He could smash through a mountain in one move. Theoretically speaking, the problem should not be him.
“Could it have something to do with the silver dragon Bloodline?”
This was one reason that he could think of. The only thing strange in his body was the silver dragon Bloodline which might be the factor that stopped him from impregnating his wives.
He knew very well that those medicines would not work. However, to give hope to his three wives, he choked them down and did everything they wanted in bed.
The manor would be complete soon, and the Teleportation Formation was finished. They could teleport to the entrance of Inferno at any time now. Lu Li went back to cultivation after resting for half a month.
Another two months went by. Something wonderful was reported to Lu Li. The Earth Immortal Realm warriors that went to the Prison of Ice with Lu Renhuang returned. He brought back with him the herbs that could be put into the antidote of the Voodoo Poison.
However, Lu Renhuang did not come back. The two patriarchs said that Lu Renhuang was cultivating in the Prison of Ice. He wanted to reach the Semi-God Realm. The Prison of Ice was a land of promises for Lu Renhuang. He claimed that he would not return until he had reached the Semi-God Realm.
Jiang Qiling understood the gravity of this matter. She went to Demon-slaying City with the two patriarchs in person. Lu Li trusted her, so he did not go with them. If everything went well, Jiang Tianshun would be saved.
Lu Li was a bit concerned about Lu Renhuang, though. There were quite a number of warriors exploring in the Prison of Ice. The Prison of Gold was not a suitable place for training. For warriors of the nine universes, the levels above the Prison of Ice were quality places.
Lu Renhuang was strong. He should be okay as long as he did not run into any Semi-God Realm warriors or revealing his identity. Lu Li decided to stop worrying. He continued to dissolve the seal of the Wicked Bead and study the line diagram.
He had been making fast progress in the study of the line diagram, almost one small diagram per month. However, the sheer number of small diagrams were large, over two hundred and they formed more than 10 big ones. He did not know how long it would take to complete all.
Lu Li’s plan was to study one big diagram first. He would engrave that one into his Bead of Life and see if it would give him a pleasant surprise.
The second seal of the Wicked Bead was about to be lifted. Lu Li was excited. He tried to dissolve the seal with Xuan Energy day and night. All the Xuan Energy that he cultivated was put into use.
A month later!
The Wicked Bead glowed. The second seal was finally gone. Lu Li was trembling in anticipation. He suddenly felt that a door was opened in the Wicked Bead, it was a door to a new world.
He concentrated his psychic power in the Wicked Bead. He had the right instinct, there was a door in the small hall. The door was opened. Another hall presented itself in the Wicked Bead.
“There is a bottle!”
Lu Li looked at the hall with psychic power. The hall was relatively empty, except for a white jade bottle and a jade slip for writing floating in the air.
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li dashed into the outside hall and entered the inside one. He grabbed the bottle and jade slip in his hand.
The Wicked Bead was a Relic. Nothing in here could be mundane. Emperor Heng was a real immortal. He could not have left behind anything ordinary.
The jade bottle had a cork, but Lu Li was afraid to pull it out. He tried to tell what was inside with psychic power, only to find that the jade bottle could not be seen through. He frowned. After much deliberation, he decided to open the bottle.
“What…”
As soon as he opened the bottle, he smelled a pungent smell of blood. He was instantly filled with rage and violence. His eyes reddened as he was seized by the urge to kill. He thought he was haunted by a demon at that moment.
“Three drops of blood?”
Lu Li found three drops of blood moving around in the bottle. He put the cork back in at once. It was only then that he could breathe again.
At that moment, Lu Li sensed an urge to kill coming from the three drops of blood. Yes… the desire to kill! The three drops of blood seemed to have a mysterious power that could stir up the murderous intent in people. Lu Li felt he wanted to tear every living being around him apart.
If he had not had a strong will, he would have lost his mind. Any Xuan Beasts, should there were any around, would have been ripped by him.
“That was scary. What kind of things are they?”
Lu Li breathed heavily. His mind calmed down gradually. He was disappointed. He had thought that he was getting some treasures, but it was only three drops of blood. What was more… he believed that the blood came from a human being, not a beast.
Taking some rest, he turned to the jade slip which had some words on it. Lu Li read it through. There was a glow in his eyes. He finally knew the origins of the blood.
Blood of the Slayer!
