Chapter 274 He's gone mad! The old man is actually going to gamble his entire fortune to train
The wind blew across the mountaintop, swirling up a few fallen leaves.
The three powerful figures at the Spirit King realm stood there, their figures appearing somewhat slender, yet resembling a majestic mountain.
This is a tragic romance.
As Lu Sheng looked at them, the string of "passion" in his heart was gently plucked.
Although he was an egoist, he didn't dislike madmen who would risk everything for a certain belief.
On the contrary, he admired it.
"so……"
Lu Sheng took a step forward, breaking the heavy atmosphere. He put his hands in his pockets, a haughty smile playing on his lips.
"You want me to go and slap those two holy lands across the face, to show them... who's the boss?"
Li Xiaoyao was taken aback, then his eyes reddened slightly, but he glared fiercely at Lu Sheng: "Vulgar! That's announcing the return of a king!"
"It's all the same." Lu Sheng waved his hand, looking indifferent. "Anyway, it's just about causing trouble. I'm good at this kind of business."
He walked up to Li Xiaoyao, extended his hand, and his eyes became more serious than ever before.
"Old man, I'll take this job."
"But I have one condition."
Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his eyes turning fierce, as if he wanted to vent all the pent-up frustration of the past few years: "Tell me! Anything on the island, even if it means tearing down the main hall, I'll bring it to you!"
"I want to go into that place."
Lu Sheng pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
It doesn't refer to Daozi Peak, but to the deepest part of the island, that restricted area where even the communication system indicates an extremely high-energy reaction.
"Since you dare to send me to challenge monsters above level 30, you must have a way to let me catch up with them within two months."
"Stop hiding it."
"Take out your... your life savings, the last thing you've been hoarding."
Li Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Ling Yao exchanged a glance.
Finally, Li Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and took out an ancient bronze key from his pocket, exuding the aura of time.
"Good lad, you have a good nose."
"The Elders' Council has resolved to open the 'Heavenly Treasury,' sealed for a thousand years!"
"That was the last legacy left by the ancient emperor, and it is also the last foundation of our Ascension Island."
Li Xiaoyao slammed the key into Lu Sheng's hand, his tone chilling, carrying the resolute determination of a gambler going all in.
"Lu Sheng, this is a high-stakes gamble."
"We will spare no expense, using massive amounts of resources to forcefully mature this monster into the Spirit Master realm within two months!"
"If we lose... all of us will go and clean the toilets at those two sacred sites!"
"Cleaning toilets?"
Lu Sheng gripped the bronze key, still warm from his body, and felt the vast flow of information contained within it. His smile grew wider and wider.
"Old man, you might be disappointed."
"I have a problem; I'm a germaphobe."
"So..." Lu Sheng suddenly looked up, two golden beams shooting out from his vertical pupils, exuding unparalleled domineering power, "I'm determined to win this bet!"
……
One hour later.
The entrance to the forbidden area is located on the back of Daozi Peak.
The massive Dragon-Slaying Stone slowly rose amidst a roar, and an incredibly dense spiritual energy, mixed with precious light, surged forth instantly, causing the surrounding vegetation to grow wildly at a visible speed.
This is the "Treasure Trove of the Heavenly Rank".
This means that Lu Sheng will be in "purgatory" for the next two months.
"Before you go in, I need to give you a lesson."
Elder Lingyao stood at the entrance, blocking Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei, who were eager to go in to "buy goods".
At this moment, she is no longer the gentle and approachable older sister next door, but a rigorous mentor.
"Spiritual disciples cultivate themselves, spiritual masters cultivate the Dharma."
Lingyao extended a slender finger, and a dazzling ice lotus materialized from the tip of her finger.
"Before level 20, you relied on brute force, bloodline, and the total amount of spiritual energy."
"But when you reach level 21, which is the Spirit Master realm, the rules change."
"What you need to do is no longer simply 'release' the elements, but... 'control' them."
hum!
As she finished speaking, the ice lotus suddenly collapsed, turning into countless tiny ice crystals that formed a miniature space only one meter square in the air.
In this space, water no longer flows downwards, but floats; the temperature is no longer uniform, but extremely cold.
"This is—the prototype of the domain."
Lingyao looked at the two of them with intense gaze: "The core of the Spirit Master level is to transform the elemental power within you from 'released due to instinct' to 'constructing local rules'."
"Lu Sheng, if your dual metal and fire elements can only be used to blow people up, then you're just a reckless fool."
"A true metal-type spiritual master can alter the density of metals and make air as sharp as a blade; a true fire-type spiritual master can manipulate the flow of temperature and even ignite the spiritual source of an opponent!"
As Lu Sheng listened, it felt as if a new door had been opened in his mind.
On the system panel, the requirements for advancing to the [Spirit Master] level also became clear at this moment.
Current goal: Advance to level 21 (Spirit Master)
[Core Task: Upgrade from "Elemental Manipulation" to "Local Rule Control"]
[Required Resources: Abundant!]
"Understood."
Lu Sheng snapped his fingers, "It's like going from 'throwing bombs' to 'changing settings'."
"Simple, but accurate." Lingyao nodded approvingly, then stepped aside to make way.
"Go."
"Eat as much as you can, take as much as you can."
"Remember, when the gate opens two months from now, I want to see two brand new... Spirit Sects!"
Lu Sheng didn't waste any more words.
He glanced at Luo Tianfei beside him.
"Hey, you big dumb bird."
"Don't lose too badly this time, or you won't even be able to catch up with the leftovers when you're following me."
After saying that, Lu Sheng took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the bizarre and dazzling light.
"Damn it! We're not even sure who'll get the bargain yet!"
Luo Tianfei gritted her teeth, unwilling to be outdone, and transformed into a purple rainbow, rushing in after her.
Rumbling--
The Dragon-Slaying Stone fell heavily, completely isolating all light and aura.
Li Xiaoyao stood on the cliff, looking at the tightly closed stone door, holding a few plucked tufts of his beard in his hand, his face full of pain yet his eyes full of anticipation.
"Eat, eat..."
"It would be best to squander all our savings..."
"I'd be willing to sell my blood to raise a real dragon!"
And deep within that dark treasure vault.
A pair of dark golden vertical pupils suddenly lit up, illuminating the mountain of spirit stones and rare treasures.
Looking at the mountains of gold and silver before him, Lu Sheng grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.
"Damn it!!"
