Chapter 88

In the blink of an eye, May passed. Whether it was planting large-leafed celery or refining the Purple薇天甲符 (Purple薇 Heavenly Armor Talisman), Luo Li handled everything with ease and skill.

This month, he made a total of eighty-seven Purple薇 Heavenly Armor Talismans, and sold them all. After deducting the costs, he earned five thousand spirit stones in one go.

Looking at the nine thousand spirit stones in his storage bag, Luo Li was extremely excited. By early July, he would have enough to travel to Chu Nanchang Prefecture in first class, but Luo Li wouldn't be so extravagant. He still needed to save spirit stones, as there were many places to spend money. An economy class ticket would do, and he could buy some Qi Refinement Pills and meditate for a month!

In June, business continued to be good. For some reason, the Demon Spider Forest had undergone a significant change recently, and good things often appeared there. Countless cultivators went there to explore, and many returned with full loads.

There was always a queue at the entrance of Dust in the Tower, and Zhu Minghua could sell one or two talismans every day. It seemed that this month he could earn six thousand spirit stones.

The Purple薇 Heavenly Armor Talismans sold so well, and in fact, many were bought by the father and son Lingzhu Zhenren, but they did it secretly, and Luo Li didn't discover it.

Luo Li was a bit hesitant. Should he go to the Divine Might Sect next year to receive the inheritance? The current trend was good, and he could earn more for a few more months. After all, these were spirit stones!

But Luo Li finally made up his mind. No, he had to go this year!

"My Purple薇 Heavenly Armor Talismans are popular now, but people are already going to other regions to buy them. In other places, three talismans cost one hundred spirit stones. Once others buy them back, my business won't be as profitable.

Moreover, no matter how much I earn now, it's just spirit stones. The inheritance is the foundation. With the Divine Might Sect's inheritance, spirit stones are nothing. So I must go!"

However, if I leave, should I keep this shop? Should I sell it? Or should I pay three thousand spirit stones to keep it here, even though it will be empty for a year and cost me another three thousand spirit stones?"

Luo Li found it hard to decide. Finally, he gritted his teeth:

"Sell it, must sell it!

This Heavenly Spider Five Islands is just so small, a mere speck in the vast world.

The world is vast, and there's no place where I can't find a home. I should travel the world while I'm young, see the sea in Chu Nan, and the snow in Cang Bei. This is my life!

A small shop, I have the Butterfly Dragon Transformation, I have the twelve secret techniques, and I have the Divine Might Sect's inheritance. What does a small shop mean to me!"

Thus, Luo Li made up his mind and began to entrust Zhu Minghua to sell the lease rights. When Zhu Minghua heard this, he said:

"Really? Giving up such a profitable business?"

Luo Li said, "I want to travel the world, wander the clouds!"

Zhu Minghua said, "That's true. The Heavenly Spider Five Islands are indeed a small place. It's good to go out and explore.

Give me the lease of this shop. You leave in July, and I'll rent it from you. I'll give you four thousand three hundred spirit stones."

Luo Li didn't expect this guy to be so wealthy. He said, "No need, we're friends. Four thousand spirit stones!"

Zhu Minghua said, "Alright, alright, let's go and complete the procedures!"

Thus, Luo Li and he completed the transfer. The lessee of Dust in the Tower became Zhu Minghua, and after July, the tower would be his. Luo Li received four thousand spirit stones, and the total in his pocket reached thirteen thousand, the first time it had exceeded ten thousand!

These days, he harvested the large-leafed celery again and made more than ninety talismans. With these talismans, he could earn another five to six thousand spirit stones, and Luo Li was truly happy.

Since he was leaving, Luo Li taught the Jin family father and son how to make talismans. Of course, it wasn't the secret method, just the most basic talisman-making technique. However, to his surprise, none of the three Jin family members could learn it.

Luo Li shook his head. It was like he couldn't refine artifacts; it required talent. Luo Li then taught them a method for cultivating spiritual plants.

The Jin family father and son learned it quickly and even applied it in new ways. Luo Li shook his head. It seemed they were natural farmers with a strong talent for farming.

Although this method of cultivating spiritual plants was just a minor technique, it was insignificant, but with this skill, the Jin family father and son would never be poor. Although they wouldn't become rich, it would be enough for a comfortable life.

It wasn't that Luo Li wouldn't teach them the methods for planting the seventy-two sprouts and one hundred and eight fruits. There was a saying that the Dharma should not be passed to six ears, and it should not be easily taught. Initially, the Ancestor Xiyi sold his senior sister for the Immortal Dragon Fruit, so Luo Li wouldn't easily teach these great techniques.

As the days passed, the talismans for June were enough to sell, and Luo Li didn't care anymore, becoming increasingly relaxed.

Good things come in pairs. The horse spider that Luo Li had kept actually evolved into a flying horse spider. On its eight horse legs, two wings grew, like bat wings, giving it the ability to fly.

A flying horse spider was a mount for the Foundation Establishment stage, worth nearly a thousand spirit stones. Luo Li was truly fortunate, and he often took the flying horse spider out for a ride.

The flying horse spider didn't fly very high. Its true ability was in jumping and gliding. It would quickly traverse the ground, then leap up and glide in the air at a height of three zhang, flying for two to three li before landing and jumping again. This speed was extremely fast, equivalent to the flying speed of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

While training the flying horse spider, Luo Li also practiced sword refinement and flying with the sword.

After mastering the flying sword, the sword light would follow his thoughts. Luo Li could move forward, backward, turn, spin, leap, rush, land, float, retreat, and dodge at will, fully utilizing the Butterfly Dragon Transformation, significantly increasing his combat power.

Luo Li trained hard. He had decided to leave, and anything could happen in the outside world, so he needed to practice diligently to possibly save his life in the future.

Seeing Luo Li doing nothing all day, practicing and wandering outside, Zhu Minghua said, "Luo Li, if you have nothing to do, why not go to the Demon Spider Forest? Be careful, there shouldn't be any major dangers, and you might even have a big harvest!"

Luo Li thought about it and agreed. Since he was leaving, he hadn't been to the Demon Spider Forest, and it felt a bit strange. So he joined a team introduced by Zhu Minghua and went to the Demon Spider Forest, one of the blessed lands of the Heavenly Spider Sect.

On June 14th, early in the morning, Luo Li and seven other cultivators went to the Demon Spider Forest. At the market portal, they paid ten spirit stones and received a teleportation jade token. In an instant, Luo Li found himself in a strange land.

This land was covered with various low, vine-like plants. The soil was black, and with each step, it made a squelching sound, and he sank into it.

The surrounding flowers and trees were still alive, but they were strangely eerie. The branches were twisted and not straight, the bark was uneven and cracked, and thorns often grew. They were no longer neat and smooth.

The leaves were black and purple, either fallen or transformed into snake-like, flexible tendrils that moved without wind, causing a cold sweat.

Occasionally, flowers bloomed, with deep and seductive colors, emitting complex and mysterious fragrances. Occasionally, fruits formed, with strange shapes and eerie colors, making one feel terrified and unwilling to taste them.

In this environment, Luo Li immediately released the flying horse spider, carefully wielded the Burning Sun Green Rainbow Sword, and was extremely cautious!

Besides the sword, Luo Li also carried twenty Purple薇 Heavenly Armor Talismans and one Good Deed, fifty-four Good Works, enough to handle any crisis.

These Good Works were accumulated recently in the Heavenly Spider Sect. Many who bought the Purple薇 Heavenly Armor Talismans were grateful, and Luo Li received Good Works as a result!

The team leader was a cultivator surnamed Wang, who laughed and said, "Luo Li, there's nothing to worry about. Except for encountering a Spider King, there's no danger here. If it were so dangerous, who would dare come!"

After saying this, he led Luo Li to explore. Indeed, there was no danger. They walked for half a day and didn't see any spirit spiders.

Old Wang was also surprised and said, "What the hell is going on? No spirit spiders at all. Damn, this is really unusual!"

Despite the unusual situation, they spent four hours there. They encountered only a few ordinary beast spiders and no spirit spiders. Finally, the teleportation jade token timed out, and they were teleported away, having wasted their trip.

The next day, June 15th, Luo Li went there again with them. The result was the same as the previous day, another wasted trip. They spent four hours and only collected some materials, seeing only a few spirit spiders, another wasted trip.

On the third day, June 16th, Luo Li didn't go. It was too boring. However, these two days weren't entirely wasted. In that dark environment, Luo Li had the idea to refine a Foundation Establishment stage offensive spirit talisman and began to refine it at Dust in the Tower.

Old Wang led his team to the Demon Spider Forest again, determined to find other spirit spiders.

On the night of June 15th, deep in the Demon Spider Forest, there were occasional loud booms. Suddenly, a loud explosion, and someone crossed the boundary and entered the Demon Spider Forest.

Then, wherever they went, countless lights rose, and countless spirit spiders rushed towards them. This was the reason there were no spirit spiders for the past two days. All the spirit spiders in the entire Demon Spider Forest were in the deep forest, preparing to stop them from returning.

The battle was intense, and the entire Demon Spider Forest trembled. However, by then, the Heavenly Spider Sect cultivators had already left, and no one noticed the abnormality. Gradually, the huge lights trapped the returners.

In the flashing lights, a white-browed, white-haired old cultivator sent out numerous flying talismans, but they were all shattered by this world and couldn't be transmitted.

He finally pointed with all his strength, and instantly, a bolt of lightning rose from his body. This was a spider made of lightning, a complete energy body, which rushed outwards frantically.

Countless spirit spiders from the Demon Spider Forest pursued it. The lightning essence spider rushed for a thousand li and was finally surrounded and killed by many spirit spiders, turning into a ball of lightning and dissipating in all directions!

Seeing the lightning essence spider dissipate, the old cultivator sighed in relief. Someone beside him said:

"Master, did the lightning essence spider get out?"

This old cultivator was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Spider Sect, Lingxu Zhenren. He shook his head and said:

"No, it was shattered, but it deceived this world. The lightning essence spider has the power to condense and rebirth, and it can transform back into a spider egg!

We are already in our sect's territory. Tomorrow, someone will find the spider egg of the lightning essence spider, one of our twelve top spiders, and it will be submitted to the sect and refined by a disciple!

This way, the news of our being trapped here will reach the sect!"

Another cultivator sighed in relief and said:

"That's good, that's good. I hope they get the news and come to rescue us."

Lingxu Zhenren said, "Also, I have stored the secret of the outer world in the lightning essence spider. If we can't return, the sect will know this secret, and the sacrifices of the third and fourth elders won't be in vain!"

Another cultivator nodded and said, "Yes, Master. Alas, the two junior brothers died so tragically! But obtaining such a great secret, they didn't die in vain!"

Lingxu Zhenren nodded and said, "Du Ya, we've done everything we can. Now we must hold onto our true hearts and maintain our integrity. We've endured for thirty years.

We are trapped here, but we are already close to the Central Heaven Main World. Perhaps, perhaps in ten years, we can escape!"

Du Ya Zhenjun said, "Yes, I understand! I hope Du Chao Senior Brother can come to help us, so we don't have to endure here, as time is hard to pass."

Gradually, the two fell silent, surrounded by the light. It seemed as if nothing had happened!

At the place where the lightning essence spider was shattered, moonlight gradually merged there. On the morning of June 16th, a lightning glow egg was formed!

Just as Old Wang and his team arrived, they discovered this spider egg and were overjoyed, thinking they had struck it rich!

Then, this spider egg was purchased by the Heavenly Spider Sect and placed in the sect's treasure vault, carefully preserved. It was one of the twelve top spiders of the Heavenly Spider Sect, and only the sect's elite disciples could be assigned to refine it!
