"Senior brother, the framework for the Commerce Hall has been set up."
"There are a few promising talents. Once the manpower is stable, I will assign tasks and assessments to the disciples on duty."
"I intend to use the stockpiling of Yellow Sprout Pill as part of the Commerce Hall's year-end performance evaluation."
"If everything goes smoothly, Yellow Sprout Pill's income by the end of this year will reach at least 500,000 Spirit Stone!"
Lu Li in seclusion inside the underground palace.
Xu Xiong respectfully reported on the various trivial matters that had recently occurred in the Commerce Hall.
The aura emanating from Lu Li in front of him seemed to have reached a certain peak.
A surging aroma of alcohol, accompanied by Spiritual Power, emanated from the Dantian, radiating outwards from within.
Just a few sniffs were enough to make Xu Xiong sway.
The next second!
"Boom!"
A sudden burst of explosive energy erupted from Lu Li's Dantian.
Like a raging storm, the blue robe billowed across his body.
For example, the rushing waters of a river flowing Ruins of Return create a magnificent spectacle!
Within his Dantian, the golden pill shone brightly.
His body size increased dramatically.
From the size of a regular jujube or plum, it has grown to the size of an infant's fist.
He actually broke through to the Late Golden Core!
The golden pill was perfectly round, with five-colored light flowing continuously.
It exudes a powerful aura and profound inner strength far exceeding those of its peers.
Rumor has it that once Dan enters the later stages, he possesses the Infant Fist technique.
Its form transformed into a face, already showing some resemblance to Nascent Soul.
Lu Li didn't know whether he had the Five Elements Spirit Root as his foundation or just a solid base.
In short, his Golden Core was not only significantly thicker than that of a typical Late Golden Core cultivator, but his aura was also terrifying.
Xu Xiong was not unfamiliar with the Golden Core.
In the past, Lu Li's occasional omissions in his Mid Golden Core cultivation had always terrified him.
None of them had ever horrified me like this.
This aura was many times stronger than Yuanhao's.
The Spiritual Qi of the entire underground palace was instantly drained, and then quickly replenished by the faint light of the spirit array and spirit Spirit Stone.
Late Golden Core, achieved!
Congratulations, Senior Brother, on your successful seclusion! Your cultivation has greatly improved!
Xu Xiong, knowing what had happened, looked pleasantly surprised.
He bowed his head, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and shouted.
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Li slowly opened his eyelids and exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Thank you, junior brother."
" The Late Golden Core has been reached..."
Lu Li's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
I know my own situation best. Although I've only broken through a small level, the internal changes are enormous.
With each rotation of the robust pill, concentrated Law Power spread throughout the entire body.
It was many times more abundant than in the middle stage, and even the range of Divine Sense had more than doubled.
It is tens of thousands of meters away.
"Is this the benefit of Five Spirit Roots?"
"The higher the realm, the richer the foundation; the spirit of the five elements can respond anywhere."
" The Spiritual Power is so profound it's unbelievable; normally, even a third-tier spell would be exhausted after a hundred transformations."
"But at this moment, it seems inexhaustible, and the replenishment is extremely fast. I could probably throw out a thousand techniques without getting tired."
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked down inward.
He could clearly feel how full the Five-Color Spirit Root floating in the the Unseen air was deep in his spine.
Like a high-powered engine, it supports the operation of the Golden Core Elixir.
The advantages of the Five Spirit Roots were fully revealed after the realm was improved.
Lu Li never expected that the higher the cultivation level, the more obvious the wonders of Spirit Root would become.
He had a misconception that, after his breakthrough, he would be able to transcend the limitations of the law.
He could easily kill his pre-breakthrough self with a mere wave of his hand.
At that moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of those four words.
"Invincible among those of the same level... I guess this is what it feels like."
"I just haven't found a suitable opponent to practice with."
He withdrew his Law Power and calmed his breathing.
Lu Li looked up at Xu Xiong.
The speed at which the Commerce Hall was established was somewhat beyond his expectations.
My junior brother Xu is incredibly passionate about business.
"Junior brother, you can handle it yourself."
I have complete confidence in entrusting the Commerce Hall to you.
"However, the supervision of the disciples within the hall cannot be neglected."
"The path of commerce is fraught with immense profits and risks. I will bestow upon you another book, which you may use to assist you."
After giving a few instructions, Lu Li raised his hand and released a thick, red book.
The book cover bears the five large characters: " Wealth-Mirroring and Heart-Illuminating Book ".
"This is..."
"This is just a book about preventing corruption and oversight; you can study it yourself when you have time."
Lu Li spoke casually, Xu Xiong felt a chill run down his spine.
This is no ordinary book!
It's clearly another treasure book!
Nothing Lu Li produces is simple; that gold-covered book on Dao of Commerce strategies has already greatly benefited him.
Now he has also obtained a copy of the "Red Strict Supervision Book," thus acquiring all the necessary items for Dao of Commerce.
He... lacks nothing.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now. I need to consolidate my cultivation."
"By the way, if you're going to speculate on Yellow Sprout Pill in the surrounding Blessed Land, you can occasionally ask Changye, just in case."
"Yes, Senior Brother, I'll take my leave for now."
With a respectful clasped fist, Xu Xiong withdrew from the underground palace.
Only Lu Li inside.
With Changye's help, Xu Xiong's plan to sell roasted nuts and seeds should be without any problems.
Changye was Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment, and so was Xu Xiong.
The two are of similar cultivation levels, so the backlash from seeking good fortune for him will not be significant, and he can avoid it himself.
Lu Li doesn't need to worry about it.
Having this apprentice is indeed helpful and saves a lot of trouble.
The only thing left to think about now is seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
" Changming, where are you...?"
With a sigh, Lu Li shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his expression.
The intense longing seemed to have grown wings and flew out of the underground palace.
It flew Litian.
They flew Litian Blessed Land and arrived at a strange wilderness in the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture.
"Achoo~!"
Lu Changming sneezed for no apparent reason.
He scratched his head, somewhat suspicious.
"Master once said that cultivators have strong five senses and robust bodies, so how could they sneeze for no reason?"
Is something about to happen?
Lu Changming focused his mind slightly, as if trying to see if anything had happened to him.
I looked at it for a long time, but I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
He came out to gain experience, though his motives were somewhat impulsive.
However, after leaving the Litian Blessed Land, they proceeded with extreme caution.
He deeply understood Lu Li's teachings, acted discreetly, sought only fortuitous opportunity, and avoided causing trouble.
Not only did nothing wrong along the way, but they also managed to collect some spirit medicine and provisions.
His cultivation aura also became slightly more solidified.
But a sneeze put him on alert.
I need to think about it carefully now.
"Could it be that I'm about to encounter something?"
"But we haven't made contact yet?"
Lu Changming recalled that Lu Li had said that the few times he had sneezed in his life were all because of a senior martial arts master surnamed Ye.
Something is bound to happen after a sneeze.
However, he was not familiar with this Master Ye, and they had little interaction.
Surely it can't all be because of this Uncle Ye?
While pondering the matter, Lu Changming decided to rest on the spot for a day before going out to gain more experience.
But to everyone's surprise, before he could even make a move...
A sudden burning sensation between my brows!
To draw upon Divine Sense to perceive one's own appearance.
But then I saw that the area between my eyebrows was pitch black, a mixture of black and red, a mixture of black and red, a mixture of red and black...
