nChapter 305: Mithral Golem Mask

nTranslator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

nThe silver dragon mark appeared quite mysteriously in Lu Li’s Soul Pond. He speculated that this had much to do with the animal tooth pendant and… it might have just converted into the mark!

nWhen Lu Li was building his Soul Pond, the animal tooth pendant had gone missing. He had scoured the entire room for it but nothing turned up. Also, during the process of constructing the Soul Pond, Lu Li felt the animal tooth pendant glared and warmed up, and he felt there was a dragon shadow moving in his blood.

nThis might be what had happened—the animal tooth pendant entered his body, turned into a silver dragon mark, and integrated into his Soul Pond.

nThe animal tooth pendant was a piece of valued treasure left behind by his father, Lu Renhuang, who must have all sorts of treasures since he was so powerful that he could best other warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. So why did he just leave behind an animal tooth pendant for his son? Surely, because the animal tooth must be some incredible piece of treasure.

nLittle White had chosen to be with him because of the animal tooth pendant which could even enhance efficacy of pellets and improve the blood. All of those were proof that the animal tooth pendant was marvelous.

nThe fact that he could awaken the Silver Dragon Bloodline was because of the animal tooth pendant was well. Therefore, Lu Li believed that the silver dragon mark was converted from the animal tooth pendant. This assumption was well-founded and not something that was made up.

nThe silver dragon mark saved his life at the Wicked Sorcery Mountain and imparted memories of the demon to him twice, both of things that he desired to get. Lu Li was wondering whether this silver dragon could have some consciousness and soul and that it was something alive.

nThe demon had been torturing him for such a long time but the silver dragon mark didn’t do anything. The minute the soul of the demon entered his Soul Pond, the silver dragon mark immediately took actions?

nThere was something more. After the silver dragon mark consumed the soul of the demon, if the silver dragon mark didn’t have any consciousness, then it should have imparted all the memories of the demon to him in one time. How come the silver dragon mark did it bit by bit?

nLu Li couldn’t understand. The silver dragon didn’t move at all. It was engraved on the Soul Pond, like a carving in relief.

nLu Li concentrated on the silver dragon mark, trying to get a sense of it. After an hour’s try, nothing happened.

nLu Li had to give up on this and work on the memories he did receive for now.

nThe information contained in there was complicated. The demon first stole the Apparition Skill from Lu Li’s mind and then integrated it with a Profound Meaning called

"Mirror Image

". This was how the demon managed to generate more than 60 clones. Every single one of them were authentic. Warriors of the Noble Lord Realm couldn’t even tell them apart.

n

"Profound Meaning, Mirror Image!

"

nLu Li exclaimed in a low voice. He was excited. Only warriors of and above the Eternal Realm could have a chance to understand Profound Meaning, theoretically speaking. But now, he had the detailed process of how the Mirror Image was used. In the piece of memory, there was no instruction as to how to gain insight of the Profound Meaning but there were guidance of how to integrate the Profound Meaning with Apparition Xuan Skill and how to release the improved skill.

nIt may be likened to…

nLu Li was a kid that understood nothing. A powerful warrior used his body to do some sword moves. The sword moves were complicated, and the kid could not comprehend the sword intent contained within. But he had remembered all the moves and all the details…

nLu Li didn’t need to comprehend the

"sword intent

". He only needed to cram the knowledge into himself and imitate the moves of the powerful warrior so that in the end, he could do the same!

nWhat was the objective of comprehending Profound Meaning?

nTo turn the Profound Meaning into powerful means. Ming Yu had mastered Force and he used it to suppress and confine enemies. Yu Huashen had the Sparks Profound Meaning and he employed this to burn enemies and defend himself.

nTherefore, Lu Li believed that the mastery of the Mirror Image itself was not the most crucial thing. The most important thing was—he could master the skill that could generate more than 60 clones and that could confuse even warriors of the peak of the Noble Lord Realm.

nAll roads lead to rome!

nAs long as a warrior could get more powerful, it didn’t matter whether the warrior had mastered Profound Meaning, or not-so-profound meaning or nothing. The critical thing was the elevation of fighting abilities.

nLu Li had thought this through. He concentrated on memorizing all the details and steps and techniques used in releasing the skill in the memory of the demon and forgot everything else, achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject. Lu Li wanted to try to memorize it and then he would put it to test and see if he could release this skill successfully, which was the ultimate goal.

nThey still had a distance to cover before they could get to the Prefectural City. Lu Li sat down and started cultivating. Yu Huashen was flying the Coffin of the Dragon King and Ming Yu went back to toxin expelling after the initial stage of excitement had passed.

nAfter flying for one and half a day, Yu Huashen took out the map to have a look and woke Lu Li up,

"Young Master, we will be arriving at the Yong An City in an hour.

"

nLu Li opened his eyes, turned to Ming Yu and asked,

"Ming Yu, how is it going with you?

"

nMing Yu nodded and said,

"I am okay now. All the toxins are out and I am almost recovered.

"

n

"Good!

"

nLu Li took out six Mystical Grasses from his ring, handed them over to Ming Yu and said,

"There are six of them and every single one of them is worth 40 or 50 million Xuan Crystals. Go and sell them. Buy a couple of something like the Ghost Mask so we can hide our identities. If there is something that can confuse even Noble Lord Realm warriors, it will be the best. Also, go and contact a chamber of commerce. We will take their Iron-armored Ship and go to the Heaven’s Roar City.

"

nMing Yu took the Mystical Grasses over. He had been a lonely person without joining any forces or families. He could reach the Noble Lord Realm because he used the materials left to him by Lu Renhuang. Ming Yu was not rich himself. He didn’t refuse the hundreds of millions Xuan Crystal’s worth of materials Lu Li entrusted to him.

nMing Yu signaled to Yu Huashen to have him look after Lu Li.

n

"Whoosh~

"

nMing Yu flew away towards the Yong An City. He had worn the Ghost Mask for quite some time, a mask that no low level scouts and warriors could see through. Therefore, as long as he didn’t run into any patriarchs of the Qin Family or the Du Family, his identity wouldn’t be revealed.

nLu Li and Yu Huashen found a concealed valley nearby to hide. The shield of the Coffin of the Dragon King was on all the time so no scouts could sense their presence.

nLu Li resumed his effort in memorizing the demon’s information. To release the skill was a complicated process. There were many things that Lu Li couldn’t quite work out yet. He figured he needed at least more than half a month to fully understand every detail, and then he needed time to test it which meant that it would cost him one or two months to master the skill.

nThis was the ideal situation. It was still possible that he couldn’t even understand it, or that he couldn’t release it even if he understood the mechanism. Everything was possible.

nYu Huashen didn’t have to pour Xuan Energy in at all times when the Coffin of the Dragon King only had the shield on and was not flying. He also started cultivating, to recover his Xuan Energy and his physical and spiritual strength so he could be at the peak state.

nMing Yu was gone for a long time. When he came back, it was already after dark. He was wearing a silver monster-looking mask, similar to the Ghost Mask but scarier.

nYu Huashen deactivated the shield and tried to probe into Ming Yu with psychic power. Yu Huashen’s eyes glowed as he said to Lu Li,

"This is very good. I cannot even see him clearly. I think only warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm will be able to sense his presence.

"

nMing Yu flew over, handed a silver mask to Yu Huashen and Lu Li respectively, and said,

"Young Master, this is called the Mithral Golem Mask. It can ward off the probing of warriors below the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. Of course, it cannot work when we are facing a warrior of the Noble Lord Realm with expertise in soul skills. This mask is quite expensive, 40 million Xuan Crystals per piece.

"

n

"Good!

"

nIt was not cheap but Lu Li believed it was money well spent. Ming Yu then took out two tokens, handed it over and said,

"I have booked a merchant ship. Tomorrow at dark, we will board the ship at the south of the Yong An City wall. It is a large ship owned by the Chamber of Commerce of Delicacy and it will go past here. We will go to the Heaven’s Roar City directly. The fee is 50 million Xuan Crystals per person. Young Master, this is the remaining Xuan Crystals.

"

n

"Keep them. We will use them later.

"

nLu Li waved his hand and said to himself that he got lucky. The Pavilion of Delicacy was one of the 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains. Taking their Iron-armored Ship would be much safer.
