Chapter 86 Jihulan at the Banquet

Li Wei did not rush to absorb the faith power of the 50,000 residents in the red faith stone, because he wanted to absorb the bronze fragments first to upgrade his bloodline to that of a five-headed Naga before sacrificing his faith power.

This maximizes efficiency.

What does that mean?

The divine rewards you receive from sacrificing the same amount of faith will differ between a three-headed Naga and a five-headed Naga.

To give a vivid analogy, in the world of cultivation, even if you consume the same pill, the improvement in cultivation level you get will be different between a first-grade spiritual root and a top-grade spiritual root. A top-grade spiritual root is much better than a first-grade spiritual root.

In other words, Li Wei's three-headed Naga is a high-grade spiritual root, his five-headed Naga is a top-grade spiritual root, and his seven-headed Naga is equivalent to an innate Dao body or a holy body.

For example, right now, Li Wei sacrificed the faith power of these 50,000 people with the bloodline of the three-headed Naga, and the resulting increase in elephant power was estimated by Li Wei to be from 4.3 elephant power to a little more than 5 elephant power, anyway, it was probably an increase of one elephant power.

The faith of 50,000 people in Tuli Town last time boosted his imagery by about 1.7.

However, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve one's elephant power as one progresses. Even if you sacrifice the faith power of another 50,000 people, it certainly won't have the same significant effect as before; at most, it will only increase one elephant power.

But if he first elevates his bloodline to that of a five-headed Naga, that would be different.

Li Wei estimated that he should be able to improve his power to the third element, and probably from the fourth element to the seventh element, thus directly breaking through to the late stage of the Vanpi realm.

Currently, it seems that only Amir has reached the late stage of Vanpi in the Nine Towns. In other words, Li Wei will soon become the second person in the Nine Towns to break through to the late stage of Vanpi.

This is the confidence that the five-headed Naga gave him!

Without further ado, Li Wei picked up the bronze fragment in his right hand and began absorbing it using the panel.

In a daze, Li Wei seemed to vaguely see a picture of a giant bronze city again.

At the same time, he felt the bronze fragment in his hand getting hot, and the blue energy bar on the panel was also trembling violently. After a while, the bronze fragment seemed to melt and disappeared from his palm, being absorbed by the panel.

On the panel, the blue energy bar displaying Level Iv1 also surged, eventually filling the entire blue energy bar.

Then, the blue energy bar on the panel jumped up from LV1 to LV2.

The blue energy bar on the panel has been emptied again.

[Congratulations, host, for upgrading your panel and enhancing your bloodline to five Naga.]

As the message appeared on the panel, Li Wei felt a surge of heat throughout his body. He collapsed to the ground in agony, the pain originating from his bone marrow and internal organs, as if his body were undergoing a metamorphosis.

On his bare chest, the three-headed Naga began to writhe, its serpentine scales molting, and it was even apparent that two new serpent heads were growing out.

"Damn, does leveling up hurt this much?" Li Wei collapsed to the ground, covered in sweat. He felt like he had been thrown into a furnace and was being melted down. He looked down and saw that the skin on his fingers was completely red.

More importantly, the hissing of countless snakes echoed in his mind, making his brain feel like it was about to explode.

Finally, seemingly at a critical point, the snake's hissing in Li Wei's mind stopped. And at that moment, he saw boundless chaos, a winding, long underground river, and a five-headed Naga, ten thousand meters long and like a god, emerged from the river and looked at him.

At that very moment, black impurities were expelled from Li Wei's body, and the three-headed Naga on his chest transformed into an even more majestic and precious five-headed Naga.

"Is this the bloodline of the five-headed Naga?" Li Wei clenched his fist. His elephant power hadn't changed; it was still four points. However, he felt that he was about 30% stronger than Gangneng. The transformation of his bloodline had also improved the quality of his elephant power.

Thinking this way, Li Wei felt that King Ananda was even more outrageous. This man actually defeated the powerful ruler who founded the fourth dynasty several times with the strength and mass of a three-headed Naga elephant, and this was when he was over ninety years old and his health was declining.

That powerful ruler was favored by Hanuman, the son of the wind god and the monkey god, and possessed the top-tier bloodline of the Nine-Headed Naga, the Nine-Wind Monkey God.

"King Ananda is a bit mysterious." Li Wei shook his head. In the entire ten thousand years of history of this continent, there have been cases of people with low bloodline quality defeating people with high bloodline quality, but it seems that there is only one family with such a big gap as the three-headed Naga defeating the Nine-Wind Divine Monkey. Even he has to rely on the panel to improve the quality of his elephant power.

"It's time to improve my strength. Let me see just how much the five-headed Naga can raise my power." Levi looked forward to it and began to absorb faith power using the panel on his left hand, picking up the red faith stone.

Soon, the faith power of a red faith stone was completely absorbed, and the panel transformed into a credit point, which then floated into the void.

Li Wei saw that same scene again: in the boundless dark river, a three-headed Naga looked at the drifting faith point with joy, seemingly happy about such pure faith power.

But the next moment, before the three-headed Naga could even eat it, a more majestic and noble five-headed Naga rammed it away and then swallowed it whole.

Feeling a sense of déjà vu about this scene, Li Wei scratched his head.

Then, the five-headed Naga breathed a sigh of relief at Li Wei. This time, his skin was no longer red, but had a faint golden glow. His body no longer ached, but instead felt warm.

He could feel his imagination improving rapidly.

"The five-headed Naga are really something else; even their methods of enhancement are different." Li Wei thought to himself. When the three-headed Naga bestowed power upon him, his skin turned red, more like he had been thrown into a furnace to be tempered.

At this moment, he felt as if he were resting in a higher-level training room, and his imagination improved without him even realizing it.

A moment later, the power fed back from the five Nagas increased Livi's elephant strength from 4.3 to 5.3, a full elephant increase.

After that, Li Wei used the remaining four red faith stones.

Finally, his total image power reached 7.3 image power.

In other words, he has increased his power by a full three symbols this time, and reaching the power of seven symbols also signifies that he is about to break through to the late stage of the Vani realm.

"This power is amazing!" Li Wei clenched his hands in delight. After feeling the increase in power for a while, he looked at the panel again.

With his power and bloodline enhanced, he had an even more important task ahead: choosing three rewards. After all, he still had his sights set on the Great Sun Brahma.

Meanwhile, a grand banquet was being held at the city lord's mansion, brightly lit, with all the prominent figures in the city in attendance, both men and women.

The banquet was already quite lively, but everyone knew that the most exciting part was yet to come, as everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the new master of Muwei City.

Some of the women had even turned their ardent gazes toward the empty seat in the main seat. They had heard that this man was still young, only about twenty years old. It was unprecedented for someone so young to own two towns.

During the lively banquet just now, someone even claimed that the future unification of the nine towns would be led by this Li Visalma.

On the west side, Humuhe sat there dejectedly, drinking alone.

-

What kind of situation is this?

Hu Muhe felt resentful that his family's business had fallen into someone else's hands. He glanced to his left, where Tomo and several noblemen were sitting, drinking and chatting.

That bastard Tomo is already planning how to curry favor with Li Wei. He just spent an hour praising Li Wei's wisdom and prowess, but Tomo couldn't stand it, so he came to this small table on the west side and drank alone in silence.

"That bastard Tomo," Hu Muhe cursed under his breath. "Didn't this son of a bitch just tell him that Li Wei didn't know anything about military matters?"

A complete opportunist!

On the other side, in the women's quarters, Jihulan sat somewhat uneasily, her hands folded on her knees. She wore a moon-white sari, made of extremely thin silk fabric, with pale silver vine patterns embroidered along the edges, almost invisible in the dim light, only occasionally flashing a faint light when she moved.

She has just made a decision in her heart.

These past few days, Humuhe has been driving her crazy. She is desperate and no matter how she begs, it's no use. She would rather die than seduce Andali. But Humuhe is threatening her with his father and sister. She is truly desperate to the extreme.

Jihulan's pale fingers clenched tightly as she glanced at the empty seat in the main room.

Today, the fact that Danali surrendered actually relieved her.

Because she suddenly thought of a way: if she gave herself to Li Wei, could Hu Muhe still force her?

Do you still dare to threaten her with her father and sister?

In her eyes, even the city's master, Andali, knelt down and surrendered to that young man. If she had him as her backer, would she still have been forced by Humuhe to do such disgusting things?

Jihulan knew, of course, that what he was doing was immoral, but there was nothing he could do compared to something even more disgusting.

She can accept Li Wei.

"Let's settle on this." Jihulan let out a soft breath, her light blue eyes revealing a firm resolve.

But what Jihulan didn't know was that when Andali surrendered, Humuhe had already abandoned the plan.

What good would killing his father do? He wouldn't gain any faith power anyway.

However, Humuhe was already feeling down, so he didn't have time to talk about it with Jihulan.

Humuhe didn't tell Jihulan, and Jihulan thought that Humuhe was still going to pressure her.

In addition, she did notice that Andali's gaze was indeed strange, so she decided to make a bold decision today.

It was all a series of unfortunate events. If anyone is to blame, it's Humuhe, who's still drinking alone there in silence.

It's all because Humuhe has been pushing Jihulan too hard these past few days; even rabbits can bite.
