No, no, this absolutely cannot go on.
So, Lu Li quickly finished his shower and rushed to the mission hall. He handed over the two missions and explained the details of the third mission. The disciple in charge of receiving him didn't say anything.
"Give me five hundred Bixie Pills, and, oh right, three catties of Pure Heart Pears, and these jade slips, I'll take them all. A total of forty-two spirit stones and three taels of silver."
It's class time now. Everyone here has some background. Commoners are fine, but those from noble families still pay a lot of attention to their appearance, especially women from prominent families. If they can equip themselves with the Hongjun Spirit Source and focus on cultivating spiritual power, very few would choose to train their bodies.
"Weren't you here recently? You've finished everything you bought last time?"
"more or less."
"You've consumed so many Bi'an pills, haven't you felt anything at all?"
"I feel that my skin is more resilient and my ligaments are stronger."
As she spoke, Lu Li made a bending motion at the elbow and pinched the soft flesh on her forearm. The senior sister was surprised to find that, after not seeing her for a few days, Lu Li had not become a muscular woman with thick arms and legs, but had instead become more delicate and beautiful.
"Junior sister, are you buying these Bixie pills for yourself? Or are you doing it as a proxy for someone outside?"
What kind of personal shopper?
“Our sect offers internal discounts, making the price of Bi’an Pills 10% cheaper than outside. So some disciples buy them for outsiders and make a profit from the price difference, but this is not allowed. Even if you have a powerful family background, the sect will still talk to your family.”
"But I really ate it."
"Junior sister, do not go astray. There is no single family downstream that can challenge the White Moon Palace."
Lu Li was getting anxious. If he couldn't take the Bi'an Pill, he wouldn't be able to restore his yang energy.
At this moment, Elder Duan was even more anxious than Lu Li. If Lu Li didn't take the Bi'an Pill, she wouldn't be able to transform the Yin energy and accelerate the process of this foolish disciple's degeneration.
At this moment, the senior student at the counter continued:
"Junior sister, you don't take the Cihua Pill, yet your skin is so good and you're so beautiful. You don't look like you've taken the Bixie Pill at all."
For some reason, Lu Li could detect a hint of jealousy in his senior sister's tone.
Other female disciples who were cultivating their bodies either couldn't afford the Female Essence Pill and had to rely solely on the Bixie Pill, watching helplessly as their figures gradually became out of shape and their old clothes became too small to fit into.
Some people take both Cihua Dan and Bi'an Dan at the same time to barely maintain their figure. Lu Li, on the other hand, only takes Bi'an Dan and never buys Cihua Dan. He has taken hundreds of pills in ten days and has become more and more beautiful.
Can this be tolerated?
Lu Li never expected that women's jealousy could be so terrible. He had never even considered that possibility. He was a man of great loyalty and always cared about the life and death of his brothers.
"So, what exactly do you want in order to sell me the Bixie Pill?"
"You need an elder in your family to act as guarantor."
Lu Li had a terrible headache. He had no elders; he had no one above him, and his only sister was now missing.
"Elders in my family...should I also look for elders in my family?"
“Yes, this involves the interests of the sect. No one has special privileges, whether you are a Hongjun person or a Qingzhou person... If you really can't find it, your master can vouch for it.”
This stubborn senior sister drove Lu Li a little crazy. She has a good figure and is beautiful, is that his fault? How should he know why his brother is not growing taller even after eating so many Bixie pills?
Speaking of his master, Lu Li was even more speechless. He had already made up his mind that he would never go to see the master of that enemy's family, even if it meant death.
“Disciple, you must not give up on treatment. Just bear with it and it will pass. It’s just a meeting with Master. She’s not going to turn around and refine you.”
"Fine, I'll go."
To save his brother, Lu Li decided to put up with it for the time being. He ate a Su Xin pear as he walked toward Elder Ying's cave.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed when Lu Li arrived at the cave dwelling. He had already finished eating the two plain pears and licked his fingers clean.
The cave entrance was tightly closed, and there were no disciples guarding it.
"Disciple Lu Li greets Master!"
Inside the cave, the faint sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard. After about two breaths, a soft click was heard from a mechanism, and the cave door creaked open, with someone responding from inside.
"Come in."
"Yes."
Lu Li walked deeper into the cave, looking around, but he couldn't find Elder Ying anywhere, even after reaching the deepest part of the cave.
"Lower your head."
Lu Li looked down in the direction the sound came from, and he actually saw a... goose?
To be precise, it wasn't an ordinary goose, but a mechanical goose with a masked human face, white belly, and black back.
"Are you Master? Or Master's pet?"
The mechanical goose said indifferently:
"I am your master."
"Ah? Master, how did you become so small?"
"Because maintaining that state is very tiring, the spirit core needs to operate at full capacity. The current state consumes the least amount of spiritual energy and does not consume the spirit core."
Lu Li suddenly felt like laughing. An impulse surged within him, and he wanted to take advantage of this guy's weakened state and give him a good beating.
Like...like a cup.
However, Lu Li quickly dismissed the idea. After all, the other party was an elder. Even if he appeared in this goose body without the uranium core, Lu Li doubted whether he could defeat him.
"Is my body strange?"
"well enough……"
Lu Li answered blankly, but inside he was roaring.
Isn't that strange? Your goose has a human head on its back, isn't that strange?
"Then I'll choose another one."
After saying that, Elder Ying took out another body, which was the body of a female puppet, about a foot tall. She pressed her temple with her goose wings, and with a snap, she removed her head and attached it to the female puppet's body.
The head and body are still disproportionate, but perhaps this is what is called the low spirit consumption form.
Well, it's actually quite cute.
It resembles a cup.
Shaking his head, Lu Li remembered the important matter.
"By the way, Master, I wanted to buy some Bixie Pills, but that disciple absolutely refused, saying that I needed your permission."
"Let's put that matter aside for now. I heard from that steward that you were rather lax in your practice today, often sleeping in the classroom. Is that true?"
"Uh."
"How much of the jade slip I gave you before did I show you?"
In fact, Lu Li had already fully deciphered the jade slip given to him by Elder Ying within the Great Dream Profound Pivot. However, upholding the admirable virtue of humility, Lu Li said:
"I've seen a little bit."
"Alright, in that case, I'll do a spot check. I'll approve it when I'm satisfied."
Chapter 87 Ying Da'e!
Elder Ying, with his short legs, hopped up the stone steps and sat on the futon. He asked Lu Li several questions in succession, all of which Lu Li answered fluently.
Not to mention that Lu Li has completely understood this knowledge with the help of the Great Dream Pivot's deduction function, he can also retrieve the answers on the spot using the Great Dream Pivot's storage function alone.
The way Elder Ying asked the questions was also particular. She followed the order of the records on the jade slip, progressing step by step from beginning to end. This meant that by checking the records, she could roughly determine where Lu Li had seen.
However, the result surprised the other party.
"The school deacon said you usually sleep during class. When did you begin your spiritual practice?"
"Some time ago, I went out on a mission and, in my spare time, flipped through a couple of jade slips."
"Your cultivation speed is not slow. I originally thought that even if you were fast, it would take you more than ten days to read those jade slips I gave you."
"Master, you flatter me. I just have a good memory."
Lu Li gave this perfunctory answer. All he wanted now was to get the elder's approval as soon as possible and leave this cave. His body was already starving for the Bi'an Pill.
"One last question: What are the criteria for a puppet to choose its spirit core? If I gave you a first-stage puppet, how would you choose its spirit core?"
There is no standard answer to this question, and the answer is not directly mentioned in the jade slip.
"No need to think back, I just want to hear your opinion. You said you memorized it by rote, so I wanted to see how well you grasped the overall concept of Yan Dao."
Lu Li pondered for a moment, then said:
"Puppets of different revolutions have different body material strengths and different upper limits of spirit cores they can support. The theoretical upper limit of a first-revolution puppet is a second-revolution spirit core. First, I will look at what type of puppet it is."
"If it is an autonomous puppet, which requires the ability to fight independently and perform in-depth simulations, I will prioritize equipping it with a spirit core, and then with a spirit core corresponding to the supernatural power attribute."
"If it is a controlled puppet, the spirit core can usually be omitted, and a spirit core with the corresponding supernatural power attribute can be prioritized."
"Once the rotation speed is determined, the specific model to use depends on cost and function."
Elder Ying nodded slightly, but because she was wearing a mask, her expression was not visible. However, Lu Li felt that his answer was not bad.
"Let's take a look at some specific examples and discuss the selection of rotation speed."
"Well……"
Lu Li pondered for a moment, and the first thing that came to his mind was the mechanical monkeys under the Monkey King's command.
"If I had heard of a mechanical ape before, mainly used for reconnaissance and harassment of the enemy, considering the cost, one to three types would be sufficient. If you want to ensure combat effectiveness and face the enemy head-on, such as crafting a puppet body for yourself, you would usually need a type four or higher spirit core."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Uh, Lu Lu Lu Li."
Lu Li rolled his eyes inwardly. It turned out that after asking for so long, the other party hadn't even remembered his name.
Sigh, these elders really don't take him seriously.
"Listen carefully, next month... what was next month again?"
"..."
You're asking me? How would I know? Didn't you come looking for me?
Elder Ying paused halfway through her speech, her eyes behind the mask staring at the top of the cave for a long time as if she were recalling something. In the end, she chose to stop thinking, picked up a jade slip, flipped through it, and then continued speaking.
"Next month is the sect competition. The winner can plunder the contribution points of their fellow disciples. You should prepare well."
"I'm just a beginner, do I have to compete?"
"Correct."
The reason why it is difficult for those from poor families to advance in their careers is not only because the contribution points earned from working night shifts are meager and far less than those earned from going out on missions, but also because in every sect competition, the winners would plunder the contribution points of the losers.
The sect competition is held every six months. The contribution points that the Qingzhou people have worked hard to earn for half a year are always plundered by the evil Hongjun people during the competition.
"How many contribution points do you have now?"
He earned three points from each of the two tasks, and Elder Che rewarded him with ten points, so Lu Li now had a total of sixteen sect contribution points. Therefore, he honestly answered:
"sixteen."
Taking advantage of this moment, Elder Ying secretly glanced at the jade slip again.
"You're a newcomer with limited experience, but you've made quite a few contributions. Especially since you're from a prestigious family, you're the easiest target."
"They're just treating me like an easy target."
"So, starting tomorrow, you will come to my cave every afternoon, and I will personally guide your cultivation so that you can advance to the inner sect as soon as possible."
"what?"
Lu Li felt inexplicably moved. This elder clearly couldn't even remember his name, yet he cared so much about his affairs.
At the same time, he was also a little worried. To become an elder of the White Moon Palace, one's cultivation level must be at least at the Spirit Pivot Realm. Facing cultivators of this level, Lu Li did not think he could fool them with just his makeup.
If you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Once or twice is fine, but what if you get caught after a long period of contact?
"No need, I should be in class at school at that time."
Knowing that Lu Li always slept in class, Elder Ying assumed he was slacking off and that was why he didn't come, so he said decisively:
"It's settled then. Anyway, you sleep in class, so come to my cave every afternoon, or you won't get the approval."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li cursed inwardly.
