Chapter 65

"Alright!"

The Seventh Elder and Deer Elder exchanged glances, and the former said to Old He, "You exchange these two weapons for him, one for ten thousand contribution points, and give him an additional two thousand contribution points. Keep this matter confidential for now, Lu Li, don't spread it around."

"Thank you, Seventh Elder!"

Lu Li was overjoyed. With the twenty-two thousand contribution points plus his original seven thousand five hundred, he now had enough to exchange for the Thunderbolt Profound Skill.

The Seventh Elder walked out, but Deer Elder gave Lu Li a deep look and instructed, "Lu Li, I don't care if those three were killed by you or not, but for the time being, don't leave the family. Otherwise, the Zhao family will definitely try to assassinate you."

Lu Li bowed again in gratitude. After Deer Elder and Seventh Elder left, Lu Li received the twenty-two thousand contribution points.

After receiving the contribution points, he didn't dare to stay any longer and directly left the Weapon Hall for the Profound Skill Hall. After he left, the Seventh Elder and Deer Elder emerged from a corner, both frowning as they looked at Lu Li's back.

The Seventh Elder stroked his white beard and asked, "Old Deer, are you really sure it was him?"

"Nine out of ten!"

Deer Elder said, his small eyes squinting to a slit. He spoke softly, "Seventh Elder, you might not know, but this kid is a freak! He couldn't cultivate Profound Energy a little over a month ago, but now he's almost at the peak of the Profound Turtle Realm. He has terrifying strength; I estimate he has about thirty to forty thousand pounds of strength. Although I don't know how Qi Sihai and the others died, I'm sure this kid has a bigger trump card, something that allows him to kill enemies of higher levels."

"Hmm?"

The Seventh Elder was moved. He looked in the direction Lu Li had left and said solemnly, "Are you sure?"

Seeing Deer Elder nod affirmatively, the Seventh Elder's face turned cold, "Such a genius, why didn't you try to recruit him into the outer hall of the family? Why didn't you report this to me earlier?"

Deer Elder smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We didn't try? Miss Yi tried several times, even promising that he could marry a direct descendant of the family, but he still refused. This kid is stubborn, and we thought it was too urgent, fearing that it would backfire."

"Miss Yi?"

The Seventh Elder pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Go find Miss Yi and have her do whatever it takes to recruit Lu Li. You know the family's situation; if Lu Li is truly a world-class genius, the family can invest all its resources in him."

"Alright!"

Deer Elder nodded and disappeared into a small alley.

The Seventh Elder stood there for a long time, then sighed and left, "There are still too few strong members in the family. I hope the family head wakes up soon, or that the Eighth Elder and the others make a breakthrough. Otherwise, the Liu family is in danger."

...

"Do you want to exchange for the upper volume of the Thunderbolt Profound Skill?"

In the Profound Skill Hall, the old man saw that Lu Li had returned and was straightforwardly asking to exchange for a Profound Skill. He frowned and said, "Young man, don't be too ambitious. At your level, cultivating a Heaven Rank Profound Skill is very difficult. Moreover... the Thunderbolt Profound Skill has no lower volume, so you can't cultivate it to perfection. The contribution points will be wasted."

"I insist!" Lu Li didn't waste words and directly handed over his token.

The old man looked at Lu Li's determined eyes, sighed, and entered a special room. He quickly brought out a copied version of the upper volume of the Thunderbolt Profound Skill, deducted Lu Li's contribution points, and watched him leave with a look of disdain.

Heaven Rank Profound Skills are very precious, but an incomplete Profound Skill, even if it's a Heaven Rank, is not very meaningful. Spending over twenty thousand contribution points to get an incomplete Profound Skill, what else could Lu Li be but a fool?

Lu Li didn't care what others thought and returned to the guest hall with great excitement. He told Lu Ling about the matter, and after a moment's thought, she said with a bitter smile, "Brother, if I'm not mistaken, Deer Elder is already one hundred percent sure that the three Sea of Qi Realm members of the Zhao family were killed by you. Soon, someone will come to recruit you."

"But it's no problem!"

Lu Ling thought for a moment and waved her hand, "The Zhao family and the Liu family are now at odds. The Zhao family has found a big tree to lean on, while the Liu family's head is in a coma, and they have suffered heavy losses in the recent Cold Cloud Mountain incident. Even if the Liu family knows you killed them, as long as you don't admit it, they won't make things difficult for you. Remember, you can say anything, but don't join the outer or inner hall of the Liu family."

"Okay, I remember, Sister!" Lu Li nodded and turned to go to his room. He couldn't wait to cultivate the Thunderbolt Profound Skill.

Double the strength!

If he could cultivate the Thunderbolt Profound Skill to perfection, he could easily kill warriors like Qi Sihai, one at a time.

After half an hour in his room, Lu Li had completely understood the upper volume. The upper and lower volumes were indeed connected, and he now had the complete Thunderbolt Profound Skill manual.

After finishing the upper volume, he could now understand the lower volume. However, understanding it doesn't mean he could cultivate it. Heaven Rank Profound Skills are very profound and complex, and he had only vaguely grasped a bit of the surface.

"The key to the Thunderbolt Profound Skill is Profound Energy. One layer of Profound Energy can increase a bit of strength. It's like waves, one after another, continuous, ultimately stacking the strength to achieve a two-fold increase."

Lu Li understood the basic principle, thanks to his seven years of cultivation under the waterfall. The Thunderbolt Profound Skill uses Profound Energy to form Profound Energy, which activates during an attack, suddenly increasing the strength and catching the enemy off guard.

If two opponents are fighting, both with ten thousand pounds of strength, but when their weapons collide, one side's strength suddenly increases to twenty thousand pounds...

The outcome is obvious; the weapon will be knocked away, and before the opponent can react, the other side can easily kill them.

He understood the principle, but how to cultivate Profound Energy, how to use it, and how to stack it?

These were all major challenges, not something that could be understood in a short time. Even Lu Li didn't know how to cultivate Profound Energy. If a Heaven Rank Profound Skill could be easily mastered, it wouldn't be a Heaven Rank Profound Skill.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside. Lu Li heard Lu Ling open the door, then she talked with someone outside for a moment before entering with a smile, "Lu Li, your trouble has come. Liu Yi wants you to go to the Listening Rain Pavilion."

Lu Ling had covered her face with a veil because of the visitors, but her eyes were full of playful amusement. Lu Li couldn't smile at all; he had no time and didn't want to listen to Liu Yi's nonsense. He frowned and said, "Can I not go?"

"What do you think?"

Lu Ling smiled and said, "The maid outside is waiting for you. If you don't go, Liu Yi will probably come to your door herself."

"Alright!"

Lu Li tidied his hair and clothes and walked out. Seeing a maid waiting for him, he called out, "Lead the way."

The maid looked at Lu Li and hesitated, "Lord Lu, don't you want to change into a different set of clothes? There are many family ladies in the Listening Rain Pavilion."

"No need!"

Lu Li felt his clothes were still clean and tidy. Besides, he didn't have any fancy clothes. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not a lord, I can't afford good clothes. If you think it's too shabby, then I won't go?"

"That's not what I meant, Lord... Lord, don't misunderstand!"

The maid quickly apologized and walked out, and Lu Li followed closely behind.

After Lu Li left the courtyard, Lu Ling leaned on her cane and smiled, "Only now do you realize my brother is a treasure? Haha, it's too late. And your small Liu family can't really accommodate him."
